Save my planet

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
 -- WHAT ABOUT US - MICHAEL JACKSON

As fall rapidly approaches I am sitting here thinking about my future career path.  I have been in the service industry for almost ten years now and I am getting sick of it; you are often treated like a fly on a wall and there is absolutely no room for creative expression.  However, I love people and I am blessed to interact with so many different cultures and personalities every day as my job is in a very Metro GTA location.
Going into my last or so year of school, I have thought long and hard about the way the world and our planet will look and feel when I graduate.  There is tons of crazy talk about the world ending, but then again there are realities that our planet faces every day far more important than a path of simply obtaining material possessions.  The oil spill, hurricanes, holes in the Earth-- nothing seems to be improving.
I want to be optimistic about my life and the life of our children but collectively we have to treat our planet and each other better if we want to continue much further into this millenium.

What have you done to help our planet lately??

This post features photos from an editorial in Vogue Italia.  It is a powerful series of photographs designed to mix beautiful with ugly to produce a harsh, cutting result.

What is your opinion of these photographs?

In a lighter tone, sometimes it is nice to escape from the reality of nature and our planet and indulge in escapism through fashion.  I am so lucky and inspired every day by all you bloggers, and nothing cheers me up more than being creative or seeing the amazing thought and dedication you all put into your artistic, fashion forward blogs.  I have been working so hard every day I have been seriously lacking with my blog but that will change soon!  I am dying to pick up this Miu Miu clutch and after working so many hours I feel I deserve it.  So sad it is sold out on netaporter.com!  Does anyone know where I can pick her up?

Have a great day and remember that life is what you make of it :)
