Flower Power


I apologize profusely for the unoriginal title but I could not help myself.


I have always had an infatuation with the hippie style, oh what an era the sixties would have been. I am hardly channeling this look or doing it any justice apart from perhaps the flowery headband, but alas, any excuse to speak of being a gypsy. 


Ever since I was little, I wanted to become a gypsy; to run away to the forests and live with the wolves, the nymphs, the elves in their magical worlds. I just had an obsession with the clothes they wore; they looked like dreamers floating on air, and the copious amounts of jewellery hanging from their necks, threaded around their wrists, beaded through their hair so that whenever they would move the sound of wind chimes echoed. It was their beauty without effort that enchanted me, their hair like vines growing in rainforests, flowers sprouting from their spiritual thoughts. Perhaps my image of them is distorted a little by watching Esmerald in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, thinking she upholds the gypsy life. Yet what fascinatedme most of all was the way that they could travel anywhere, whenever they liked. The simplicity of their lives enabled them to escape, to not stay in one place for too long. For that destroys people. I was jealous of them, it's what I've always craved.


I don't remember what happened at school today, only that I had a wondrous day.



I felt confident.

In relation to my recent post on french literature ... 
God forbid this outfit be worn together, but here is a twist on fashion taken from a little bunny rabbit's point of view. 
My self-control is waning; I must get my mitts on those fur mittens this instant!  
Especially as winter is creeping slowly upon us, and being plagued by hands that are always cold, and ice blue or a disturbing purple colour that would match a dead corpse, I think they would cover them up nicely in disguising the *shiver* *shake* *tremble* of my unsteady hands.

Corpse Bride


Corpse Bride; Halloween inspired. This is my dream costume for the spooky holiday, and I even have ideas of basing my wedding dress on this, excuse the pun, "drop-dead gorgeous" outfit.
Though, unfortunately this year my Halloween proved practically non-existent; staying home alone digging through last years candy and flicking through crummy horror television show after crummy horror television show. I suppose there is always next year ... but for the time being, well, I better get cracking on making that dress!

Witching Hour



Fashion has taken an enchanting turn. With halloween fast approaching, the fashion world is put on hold, spellbound by gothic seams and horror trinkets, forgetting all that is conventional in le monde du la mode. Imagine a porcelain doll brought to life: dark, brooding and full of bewitching charm, swathed in ebony cobwebs and delicate touches of Victorian lace and you will have awoken topshops new gory attire. That gorgeous black velvet dress (pictured left) oozes a haunting prowess that only that dress could evoke. Whilst the glittery detail on the sheer dark dress (pictured right) matches a starry night sky blackened by its spooky elegance seeping through its threads. The witching hour is upon us, and with it comes a delightful twist in the form of topshops ultimate halloween collection. Immerse yourselves, for, in the fitting words of topshop themselves, "it's time to cast your sartorial magic - welcome to the dark side."
