annabel lee




It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.



I realllllllly want to do an Annabel Lee inspired photoshoot!

margaret moth

I was reading Christiane Amanpour's blog and now feel silly for never knowing who maragret moth was!


I became obsessed with her the second i read she changed her name to gipsy moth from wilson, but now only that, she was a bad ass photog who reminds me of robert capa
plus she rocked out the black eyeliner.
new hero? you bet!

like an indian summer in the middle of winter


Maria got a cute little black laced clip/hat thing that reminded me of katy perry's thinking of you music video.

so i did my make up like her's and we did a photoshoot. the weather was cloudy and windy, creating the perfect background at the beach.


We also found a cool red train and took some pictures with that.






I bought the corset top at lohmans and was planning on wearing it with high wasted shorts. It worked out so well! the skirt it lanie's from h&m.
