Quiet Happiness
I wade through the waters
where man meets nature
turning my back
I follow the unknown and free
A change in the breeze,
a gentle caress…
…singing soft lullabies
that warm my chest
Surprisingly unexpected,
an interesting reaction,
the closer I walk to happiness
the scarier it feels.
The Hidden Thimble
Two Piece: Bardot | Butterfly pins: KisforKani
How cute is this two piece? It’s definitely channeling all the things I love – vintage vibes in particular!
Also, how do you guys like the poem intros we’ve be writing in our outfit posts? Personally, I’ve really enjoyed writing them – I love being creative, and I look forward to writing my posts and sharing a little piece of how I’m feeling at a particular time in my life.
It brings me onto an interesting subject in my life at the moment. I can say with honesty that this point in my life right now might be the happiest I’ve ever been. I mean truly content..not overjoyed, not ecstatic, just a quiet happiness.
I’ve taken my career into my hands, working on the projects I want to, and starting my own business was the best decision I’ve made. I’m learning new skills everyday that fascinate me and my creativity is buzzing. I’m exploring creative writing, video, calligraphy, photo editing, photography and continuing digital marketing strategy. I have a really solid relationship – the first that’s been so positive and trusting. And soon, I’ll be travelling solo for 3 months around Europe!
But the price of happiness has been a lingering fear. It’s so scary to give up your security and follow what you truly want. It’s scary every time I take a step toward the unknown.
But the funny thing is, it’s quietly paying off. Everything slowly and strangely works itself out and falls into place nicely.
Wow, beautilful photos! I love the butterflies in your hair, it looks so cute! <3

Thanks Susanne!
Oh it’s definitely VERY cute! I am so happy for you that you are in such a good moment in your life – it’s so important to listen to yourself and I feel like you’re doing it perfectly! I am already curious to hear your updates from Europe!

Thank you Carmen, that’s very sweet :) I’ll definitely be doing travel blogs when I’m in Europe!
When you rock these vintage styles it’s amazing how hard you channel Audrey Hepburn, Talyssa. This is just charming, from the setting to your cute outfit to the little touches like the butterflies; it all just makes me amazingly happy. Chapeau, you.
Aww thanks chief! I do love Audrey Hepburn, so that is an amazing compliment :)
It’s not a compliment if it’s simple truth. All I could think of when I saw you in this shoot was Audrey in “Sabrina”, the way you embody her gentle, loving but indomitable spirit…
Oh, and if I could do anything I’d become magic Jesus and make my older kid kind, gentle, and happy. Oh, yes, and make old white Americans stop watching FAUX.
Hahaha the first is a Family Guy reference? The second is Fox News?
The second is FOX “News”, yes. But the first…no, just a realization that conventional parenting won’t make that happen. The Boy is a Trouble Child, a stormy petrel, and all I can do is what I can to try and launch him better off than he’s launching himself.
These photos are beautiful! I love the vintage vibes and that outfit is so cute and darling!
