anything goes when you don't even care

beautiful day, right??
well...i guess i can't speak for everyone.
i don't know where you are, or what you're doing.
but i'm thinking it's a beautiful day.


i slept in slash laid around and watched satc all morning.
{satc = guilty pleasure. i'm not ashamed.}
and today i have really big, wild hair.
and red lips.

it's my first day in red lipstick.
other than the millions of dates photoshoots my friends and i had in college.
anyway...
i was feeling a bit anxious, as i walked out the door.
so i texted two of my besties,
who assured me that i could do it.

i cannot wear red lipstick.

i had one woman stare at me outside the bagel shop.
{you might be thinking, "jo, it's all in your head!" but i promise...she stared.}
and then my counter-friend at starbucks said,
"hello, beautiful! you're looking luscious!"

sold. done deal.
i <3 red lipstick.
and my big hair.
:)


happy wednesday. love you dearly.

can't get you out of the sunlight



in love with this day.

i drove for 45 minutes this morning, and kept the same 3 songs on repeat. love.

move. move. move. move. move.
today i move.
yessssss.

last night i had one of those moments.
you know, the ones that make life completely okay.
regardless of what it actually may be.
the kind of moment where literally all that you can do is smile.
love.

and now i'm listening to the playlist that i've had on repeat for the last week.
currently playing: corner {allie moss}. look it up. it's completely fab.

OH AND...
{HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY NIECEY!! I LOVE YOU!!!!}

"seems i've been playing on the safe side, baby. building walls around my heart to save me, oh. but it's time for me to let it go."

i'm not perfect, but i am free


after class i went on a little adventure through my little town, mill valley.
i just love where i live.
i decided to accept the idea of looking like a tourist with my point-and-shoot in hand, in order to obtain some quality pics of downtown.

this shop seems to consist primarily of pipes and porn.
2 of my favorite p's.
{okay, not really}

love it.
i'll probably be going back for some purchases soon.
{jesus band-aids? duh.}

one of my favorite flower shops.
although, i didn't see my favorite flower today :(

outside mill valley market

umm...yes, please.

and a few side notes:

1. i absolutely love the smell of fresh-cut grass.

2. i saw my favorite car outside peets, but i didn't have the guts to ask the guy for a pic of it
{wouldn't that seem a little creepy? or at best just slightly strange?}

3. i will be watching whip it {again} tonight, and painting my nails. so stoked.

and it was all yellow


this morning's sunrise.
the earth was filled with color.
and beauty and wonder and goodness.
:)

today i am grateful for:
the ability to see the world around me.
a good night's rest.
the effect a good hike will have on your mind/attitude/heart.
ingrid michaelson. katie herzig. brooke fraser. missy higgins. norah jones.
the friends i get to share life's lovely moments with.

"i'll shout aloud, what a feelin', let my tongue be still no more. now i know that it's the real thing, just try and keep me quiet about it."

i will take the chain from off the doors


i tend to stare at cute babies.

i love the taste of an iced americano.

there are very few people that i actually enjoy talking to on the phone :(

i have trouble being on time.
{but not when it's really important}

i do not iron.

i believe in good.

i might have bad hearing one day bc i listen to music at such high volumes.

i think that dancing is one of life's greatest joys.

i recharge by spending quality time with someone i really care about.

i still haven't figured out how to fold a fitted sheet.

i love making friends.
{especially with people who are exactly nothing like me}

{i want to pour my whole heart into something. i'm so afraid of letting passion die.}

this is me.
take it or leave it.
you may be thinking, "thanks for that, jordan. who cares?" and that is okay. i'm not offended.
maybe this post is more for me than for my readers.
