Summer's Passing

I keep hearing things like, "Summer's almost over," and "The last must-see summer movie."  I can't help feeling like summer never actually began.  As if I've been in an April showers haze for the past four months, I don't feel satisfied by summertime.  Despite the fact that school is already back in session and (I wouldn't doubt) department stores have Halloween in the works, my mind is fixed on beaches and darkening my tan lines.

It's pretty apparent that my comfort zone is in the warmth.  This whole 'end of summer' nonsense has me shivering at just the thought of fall weather.  I want to fly like a snowbird, far, far away.

All of this to say, I think my next move will be somewhere with a warm climate and hopefully a beach nearby.  In honor of my longing for distant places (and adventure, always), I would like to share with you a few images from my Where I Want To Be board on Pinterest.  Many of which I discovered courtesy of A Well Traveled Woman.

I would live wildly in an Airstream.  I would rid myself of as many materials as possible and travel lightly as far as four wheels could take me.  Road trips are some of my favorite things in the world.

It won't be long before I can where the badge of a well traveled woman, I hope.

Mama always told me to share...

Because, like I said in my last post, I'm obsessed with artist Lora Zombie.  I have now found another archive on her tumblr to sift through.  I haven't found a single painting I wouldn't put on my wall.  She has some wild blue hair, too, which I love.  I especially like the paintings that look like childish self portraits; little girl with blue hair..

 adorable.

I also have to share this artist I knocked into courtesy of someone I follow on Google+.  I couldn't help but click on the video for one Anais Mitchell's song 'Young Man In America': 

1. because that name, Anais, I've never heard it before and I love it

2. because she's quite adorable, too.  

Lucky I did.  I have a lot of catching up to do on this sweet voice.  According to her site's discography, her first album was released in 2004.  She's not perfect and that's why I like it so much.  I like my music a little raw.  Her voice is unbelievable, though, so I cannot wait to listen to the five full-length albums. There's one EP in there, too.  

Sounds like a road trip soundtrack to me!!
