i need a new pattern.

I don't know if I can, but I feel like I need to give florals a rest in the new year. On a completely different note, my taste buds have fallen in love with flax seed. What flavour are you currently obsessing over?

red.

i'm still not bored of basic monochrome. are you?

what have you been upto?

same but different

my kindred spirit

my sister and i are essentially the same people, but in completely contrasting lifestyles. her beautiful long-limbed awkwardness inspires me, her reluctance to get photographed pains me. i ask her because i love her, she gives in because she loves me.

sometimes its nicer from behind.

my floral fixation...

started when i was young.

learn to

sad eyes

i cried like a baby today. when was the last time you really laughed?

obsessing over aatish taseer's masculine vulnerability. listening to samson by regina spektor on the loop.

again & again

roses in my garden, back home

 its stupid really, but i feel like i've just discovered the calming powers of pairing a white shirt/blouse with blue denim.

flap your wings



edie earrings, maybe?



push

a front tuck is all you need to make a layered ensemble a little personal.

i wanna, i wanna be

last week i had an embarrassing moment of wanting to be like the cool kids. you must believe me when i say i tried not to give in, but my wretched will power was too weak. the result is for everyone to see, my naked knees.

sorry, tim gunn.

slow circle

i've owned this skirt since i was ten. makes it vintage, i guess.



dreaming of the smells of unkempt fields. reading short stories by jean-paul sartre.



i'm learning to be brave

what do you look like in the morning?

the romantic oddball

  kelly thinks i have a maggie gyllenhaal vibe, which is probably one of the nicest compliments i have ever received..

secretary (2002)- perfectly strange and beautiful




unfortunately don't remember where i got these images from.

 

i haven't watched a single episode of mad men (yes, gasp), but i'd much prefer the creepy, kooky edge to conservative dressing than classic.

the skin off my back

home is new

i'm still getting domesticated.
