scenes in my head

snippets of images that have inspired me lately

red nails. the smell of vanilla and cinnamon. a boy you love holding the small of your back in a crowd. faded leather jackets bought secondhand. wet pavement in the evening. brooklyn ave in the rain. the smell of coffee percolating in a french press. dark blue denim. decadent chocolate banana bread. smudged lipstick. vintage leather purses. neon signs through a rainy window. seagulls flying overhead. the feeling of laying down under the covers after a long day. manchego cheese and fig jam. the sound of heels on wood floors. champagne in glass flutes. silk pajama sets. wearing nothing but a bathrobe. turning to the next chapter in a good book. the constellation of dew in the grass at 7am. hugging someone you haven’t in a long time. hot apple cider. fixing your eyeliner in a bar bathroom. dinner parties. oversized crème cashmere sweaters. making a friend in line for the bathroom. whiskey sours with dark cherries. cozy lighting. the sounds of people going about their lives on a busy street. jazz playing a room away. the smell of cigarette smoke. putting your hands on your friends cheek to show how cold they are. a perfectly balanced stack of books.
