The Day at Last




Been out. Been back.

Been around the block twice.

Been down the road. Been around the city.

Been lost. Been gone. Been outta town.

Been hurting my feet.

Been making a mess.

Been cleaning it up - twice.

Been making amends.

Been fucking it up, royally.

I want to emulate these outfits this month. As usual, anything high waisted is almost automatically admitted to my closet, but these are three outfits that need a spot - it's non-negotiable. Twiggy is just adorable, and the shape of that dress is timeless, the pattern might be a tad 1970's, but in a solid color or a floral with a pair of chunky heels it would be completely modern. The second look is adorable, and completely sailor-inspired. I love the simplicity of this, it seems like the kind of dress you can throw on for errands or a walk. Now, the third is certainly the most 'now' outfit. It's contemporary, it's cute, and it's minimal; everything that I love. And the pastel tones just drive me mad! They strike a perfect balance between a feminine pallet and the minimalistic skirt/shirt combination.
I want to wear these all summer.

Well, if my life is made up of two things, it would be tea and fashion. I ran out of sleepy-time tea yesterday, which was a tragedy in itself, and have yet to buy more (how trivial my life is). The weather is warm for once! And, since it was absolutely beautiful outside, I ventured all the way into the backyard to take a few photos. It was, I swear, ten degrees out, and it was supposed to rain but never did. Then there was the mall trip, and of course I spent more money than necessary, buying a bath bomb at Lush (best purchase ever), Wonder Woman lipstick by MAC, and fake lashes. I am a bit of a MAC fan girl, I'd say a good 90% of the make up I use daily is made by the brand, including my brushes. An expensive obsession, I know.

I'm still reading Anna Karenina, though, my reading has been a little slow, since I've also been working my way through a Plath anthology and The Outsider by Albert Camus. I would really like to finish it this week, but I've got a massive amount of studying to do, so it seems a little impossible.

Au Revoir

It's freezing today, as it has been for the past week. I'm partial to the cold, but when the temperature dips below -20 it's time to lock myself up indoors. I was supposed to see Under Milkwood (the Dylan Thomas radio play, which had been adapted for the stage) last night, but ended up seeing The Producers. The play dragged on near the end - which was the point I suppose - but certainly had funny moments. All the historical WW2 references were wonderful, and it almost counted towards studying for my exam this week. So, the above is what I wore, in addition to my black oxfords, I froze of course, but the majority of the evening was spent inside anyways.
I spent the day reading Lolita, which is certainly the most poetic novel I have ever read (maybe I haven't read enough yet). The concept is disturbing, but it's told in such a beautiful way that you forget how creepy the situation really is. As an end to a completely uneventful day, I am now watching Scary Movie 2 (the only one worth watching), having a cup of very milky tea, and craving food on account of the lovely smells coming from my kitchen.
