Blog Title Meaning

When I decided to create this blog I originally wanted to call it "Strawberry Fields Forever," but then I hesitated. I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression of me as a Beatles fanatic. However, this is true (I've even named a few of my possessions after characters in Beatles's songs, such as Rita, Sgt. Pepper, and Sexy Sadie.). Then I thought of "Bowl of Oranges," which gives away my love for Bright Eyes. Also, this gives off a certain melancholy image. I don't want my blog to appear overly depressing. I may say some pessimistic things, but over all I don't want to create a negative blog of life's complaints. So finally, I decided, "hey let's be positive!" So I quickly named this blog the first two things that come to mind when I ask my self what do I really like. In spirit of this, here is my list:

• Ballet Flats, or any cute flats for that matter. Especially my sunshine yellow vintage ones.
• Sunsets & sunrises
  
• Autumn, crunching of fallen leaves, crisp air nipping at me
• Skinny jeans & spandex leggings
• Moccasins
  
• Hot drinks- Cocoa, coffee, tea, apple cider, etc.
• Fruit Smoothies & milkshakes
• Colorful Salads
• Road trips
• My boyfriend
• Technology it seems like I can't live without- Computer, Ipod, cellphone, ect.
• Reading all sorts of books
• 35 mm & 110 cameras such as Diana, & Holga
• Antiques
• Fainting sofas
• Costume parties
• Books with classic celebrity photos (Monroe, Hepburn, Dean)
• Incense

List is subject to lots of additions (when my brain is less fried).
