Something worn
In celebration of WORN’s 5 year anniversary and 10th issue they asked people to illustrate a pin, so I sent in this one. These pins are going to be sold to fund WORN that is completely run by volunteers so yay! For those of you in Canada they’re also throwing a party which sounds AWESOME. I’d go if someone gave me free plane tickets. Or if I could fly.
I don’t know what’s up with me and forlorn looking figures but nevertheless I liked this one and seeing as I had a little more time to change my last assignment at school, but yet not enough time to redesign the cover I hated, I used this lady again. I also like it, though I’m not sure if it goes superbly with the rest of my little book.
(The left side is the back, the right side the front – this page is folded, you know the way a cover is folded :D)
Click for bigger. The title is ‘my family and other beasts’ which I sort of inspired on Gerard Durell’s book. And with inspired, I mean stolen. But it’s Dutch, and instead of animals I used beasts (which sounds better in Dutch but actually Flemish)! SO WHATEVER… but though D:
Move on up!
I don’t know about you but when I feel happy I have an increasing tendency to wear obnoxious outfits! My exams are finally over and the pressing stress of upcoming grades is slowly fading away so I’m finally up and about leading a social life again. IT HAS BEEN SO LONG. Friends! Who knew I still had some? They seemed like a mirage this past month when being closed off the real world and sunshine in a dark room, afraid to open the curtains for I was sure I’d want to run off and forsake my entire life just to leave peacefully (i.e. without the stress of exams). Preferably in a forest with only squirrels and birds to talk to.
Ah the infamous annoying green + red combo. You can also see my roots which I mentioned in my last post. On one hand I want to grow my bleached hair out, but on the other the thought of my natural blonde hair bores me to no end! I’m so conflicted!
Things that are making me happy:
Can you believe pandas actually exist in this world? Sometimes they seem like a creature from an 80s sci-fi kids movie to me. I mean, their utter adorableness is just ridiculous! They’re always rolling around, doing nothing. It’s amazing! (from Gif Party, my new favourite Tumblr)
I used to love soul music in my early teens but as my hormones raged I left the cheerful and hopeful message of it aside for angsty indie rock. WHY?? Curtis Mayfield makes me happy. I love how he tells me (because musicians are always singing to me, obviously) to fight for my dreams.
WORN! With articles such as dealing with feminism vs. fashion, in-depth reports on the (history) of fashion, gender implications etc. how can I not love this magazine? In fact, I love it so much that it has made me want to make my own magazine but then I realised how lazy I am and so I choose to simply support more independent magazines. (Not ashamed to plug Worn over and over again :D)
Also, I want to be this girl:

Someone had blundered
I’ve something really dramatic to tell. This entire week -hold on- I’ve only wore one colour combined with black. And that colour wasn’t even a colour, it was dusty pink. I know, I know, I must be ill or something. I think I am. I think coffee which I’ve seen as such a strong companion for so long by now is secretly the devil in disguise. He’s withheld me from eating like the pig I am and has consequently ruined my stomach and messed with my sleeping patterns. Yet here he is, steaming in all his black godliness beside me. Sigh. So get this, I’ve opted for comfort this week. I never thought I’d say this because comfort simply doesn’t fit in my style vocabulary (superfluous!) but man, how I love this giant tent dress I found this week!
I feel this is so intrinsically wrong to my whole character and normal preference of hourglass silhouettes but it’s just so great sitting in a bag while working for school at the moment.
But I’m wearing this when I go out so as not to shock too many people with this mysterious change in dress love.
Also, that’s an Oreo wrapper under my bed. I am so happy my school sells Oreos. My joy is indescribable.
I’m a fan of hautain expressions in photos.
Oh also! Worn Fashion Journal is crushing on me this week which is quite obviously awesome and extremely flattering. I’ve answered some questions in which I hope you’ll realise you shouldn’t take me seriously in anyway, whenever wherever.
