8th-Sep-2010 04:03 pm - autumn trends ☆*☆* >> [ FUR x ANIMALIA* & bohème* ] ☆ WC

usually autumn trends leave me completely unprepared & disgruntled. tons of leftover denim, floral & plaid prints always make me see fall, not as a trending opportunity, but as unnecessarily prolonged transition from the end of summer style to the beginning of darker winter wear (love love love).

this autumn though, already loving what's out; there's a big dive into the bohemian & 'hippie' looks (some morigyaru also?); tons of soft browns ・・ draping tops & flowing patterned skirts ・・ beaded fringed vests & waist-cinchers ・・ over-sized long-sleeves in dreamy sheers & solids; & nothing gets more EARTHY this autumn than the FUR & ANIMAL trends X3 ☆☆

& one of my favourite lines producing the stuff

MERRY CHRISTMAS
♠♠ FROM SAN FRANCISCO !!! ♠♠

Just a few holiday sights wanted to share from my part of the world ♥ ♥ janky night camera U.U

Mood:blessed!

20th-Dec-2009 09:25 pm - bluevelvet*.&blackvalentines*.

GAL style; getting better--lacking a personal touch. I'm not really a pink-&-pearls
kinda GAL at all. Need something more reflective of myself/moods. Lately been doing
lots of monotone. From here blues & violets will be my colour palette.

Also been experimenting with more materials. Trying to figure out something
especially nice for when I get to see my

michichanlove & *DIAMONDS* come this New Year &hearts
(finally, thank god!); think I shall wear blues. (& a bunch of crosses I re-found XD)

ps. I WANT FRINGE / BANGS

( VALENTINE*STYLE**-->+ (some accents, nails & a coord.). )

Abandon all the arts
You have learned
In swordsmanship,
And in one gulp
Drink up all the waters of the West River.

I thought all the time
I was learning how to win;
But I realize now:
To win is no more,
No less, than to lose.

In the well not dug,
In the water not filling it,
A shadow is reflected;
And a man with no form, no shadow,
Is drawing water from the well.
