A two post sort of day

I'm at work, and being a hostess of a restaurant does not usually entail me spending hours and hours online perusing blog after blog and fashion show after fashion show, but saturday brunch at this particular restaurant is rather...slow...so here are the results of my saturday brunch shift:

A love for Gareth Pugh that is comparable to my love of plaid.

Shoulders as wide across as I am tall? Please and thank you. Dresses made out of zippers and geometrical leather shapes? Check. Quilted leather outerwear and bodysuits, buckled shoes? Gimme gimme gimme.

Miniature Disasters

Hello my dears! I've just made a rather rash, and very very exciting decision. I am moving to Edinburgh Scotland in the spring!! My best friend N and I are moving together, and I am more than ecstatic about it, I am seriously incredibly happy.

On another note however, I don't have a job there, thus I am not sure if I will be granted a work visa. I know it's a long shot but if any of you lovelies live in the UK (preferably in the general area of Edinburgh) and have or know of anyone who would hire two wonderful American girls on break from university please tell me!

I am so immensely excited for this.

No. 5

Poison or remedy

...of all the intersecting lines in the sand

I routed a labyrinth to your lap.

I never used a map sliding off the land

on an incidental tide,

and along the way you know, they try

they try...

the boys say we're not stopping

summertime.

It's not polite to stare

This is a mish-mash post. I'll start with this fun little list that I found over at Kelsey's blog (for some reason typing that just made me sing Jesse's Girl...whatever). 

10 Fictional Characters in Fictional Books who remind me of me/who I'd like to be like:

1. Ginny from the Harry Potter books

2. Cecilia from Ian McEwan's Atonement

3. Meg from Madeline L'Engle's Time Quartet books

4. A tree-nymph from CS Lewis's Narnia 

5. Mary from Frances Hogson Burnett's Secret Garden

6. Eilonwy from Lloyd Alexander's Pyrdain Chronicles

7. Lyra from Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials

I can only think of seven right now, I can't ever seem to remember the title or author of a book-much less the characters- but I do remember the feeling of the book, so I've got a million feelings from books, but if I tried to tell you what they were it would come out something like "that one book, by that one author...". Not so helpful.

Anyway on to more fashion related things.

I saw this girl yesterday. Is it not the perfect combination?

 Bike, shoes, dress, hair....sigh.

I wore this yesterday, I was channelling my inner flapper, too bad you can't really see the outfit details...the pictures were taken in the bathroom of my favorite little coffee shop, and yes, the wall behind me does say "fuck bush". I sort of love it a lot.

Girl if you're a seascape

I'm feeling excessively uninspired. I hate my body, I hate my clothes, I hate my shoes, and I hate that it's a billion degrees and sweaty outside.

But I do like art nouveau.

I've decided that I have an art nouveau girl body. Too bad I don't have swaths of gorgeous sheer fabric to wear...

I lied. I love art nouveau. And I love you all, even when I'm grumpy.
