How: I guess I am one of those people who run and rush so that they feel they live. I run from home to the gym, then back, and to work , then to lunch, then to the meetings, then back to work, then to dinner with my family, then to see my friends, then home, then the cleaning up, then to bed…
Why: But I am learning that rather the opposite – the quiet moments – are the ones when you want to stop the moment because you feel life and time running through your veins. It’s when I have just about 10 minutes to sit down to check my mail. And my cute cat climbs on my knees, lets me pet her and lies down so gently, like a handful of feathers. And purrs. Calmly, evenly, gently…purrrrrrrr……

What:
Shirt: Amisu by New Yorker.
Jacket: VILA clothes.
Skirt: Vero Moda.
Tights: some basic neutral colour ones; to achieve the natural look I am wearing thick creamy ones underneath (80 DEN- real warmth in autumn!) and thin skin colour on top (20 DEN).
Shoes: Isabel Bellido BEL BEL. Earings: e-store http://www.eleja.lt. Scarf: my moms wardrobe. 😉
Omg item: “The earings. One of the few longer ones I can wear at work. And looks fantastic at a party! Wore them with black sleeveless top… 😉 A flat pearl-like stone has a yellow shine to it which plays out beautifully together with the golden swirly detailing. The jeweler that works at http://www.eleja.lt always makes the accessories pop-up. Very tasteful and stylish but yet neither too big nor too extravagant. I tried these on and then I couldn’t take them off. Those earings were a must-have!”
When: November 7th, 2011
Sometimes you just have to let it be. Stop analyzing. Stop procrastinating. Take a day off and just do it: drink that wine, dance a little, cry a little, laugh a little, eat whipped cream with cake or fruits while having a bubble bath. Play your favorite song at a highest volume your machine is able to. Read a book. Send a letter. Polish nails. Do everything and anything. Anything that makes you feel happy for being you.
Where: The churchyard of Pranciškonų Dorm.

Or those other times when at night I move to change my sleeping position and I cannot get it right. So I roll around. And my friend wakes up from that movement and still asleep, hugs me tight. I am not really awake but not asleep yet and that feeling of being held so close and so comfortably makes me wish the night lasted forever!..
For many of you probably the time-stopping moments are somewhat different, but if you ever had moments like these I imagine you know what I mean. 😉
Do not forget to love yourself first and most. Always!
