Très Jolie ❤

Well, since winter decided to take over most of the spring season in NY this year, and it's been really nice out lately, I've decided to end my hibernation streak. I mean, it has been really nice, it's just that I'm lazy and I was getting too used to being afraid to step out into the cold :P Well, this is a typical spring outfit that I'd totally rock in RL to school or just out shopping or whatever (maybe with flats though, I'm a wimp when it comes to heels in the daytime!) But always with coffee or tea in my hand!

Also, it happens to be May 22 and I didn't die and go to hell, oh well, next time haha. At least I get to celebrate my best friend's birthday this week!

My best friend (who is turning 23 tomorrow...his 23rd on the 23rd lol) introduced me to this amazing artist, Dessa. She started out with spoken word poetry and then joined the Doomtree Hip Hop Collective, which is based in Minnesota. Seriously, they have some good people who have songs that are so relevant. This song isn't really hip hop, as Dessa really kinda fuses different musical genres together, but this is a gorgeous a capella song that is incredibly simple, yet speaks volumes. Lyrics for those who would like to follow along:

I'm building a body
From balsam and ash
I'm building a body
With no god attached
I'm building a body
From blueprints and braille
I'm building a body
Where our design has failed

There's a book full of plans
At the feet of poor Atlas
Titled for man
But the architects only drew blanks
And there's no where to go
But go back, go back, go back, go back
