destitution

dream walking society, park and cube, garance dore, street fsn

Sleepily perusing some images, sipping orange blossom tea, painting my nails beige to match my beige sweater, wrapped in a wool blanket. Siiiiigh.

Also, someone please buy me these. Or tell my boyfriend that I NEED them. Thank you.

Also, also, listen to this song:

little pinkie

The pink hair is back! OH how I've missed you pastel sherbet coloured hair...
Why not indulge in sugary colours every once in a while, after all it IS the summer.


Listening to She & Him, daydreaming of ice cream.














Free People sweater, Revlon nail polish.

ballet dancers and veils

Current inspiration: ballet costumes ripped and worn after a performance, a dancer's metamorphosis into a character, face covering and veils that mask one's identity, smudged unclear pastel lines of a degas drawing, imaginary creatures and beings.

I recently noticed Stretsis's lookbook on Style Bubble and thought it was just incredible.
I love the way the little platforms give the models the appearance of those tacky porcelain figurines, and the way the fabrics move in some of the images is just stunning.
The pictures themselves are a little tacky, but I feel like it still somehow works... The sugary sweet colour palette, the fake roses, the cat, the giant bow... such girlish elements, but it all seems somehow strange and ghostly when their hair is fluttering around like that.
Well, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.








Ps: now I want BLUE hair!

pink bias

I don't care what you pink hatas say.
I am quite distinctly biased towards it.

By the by, pre-"masculine-renunciation" pink used to be considered quite manly because it was just a lighter shade of red.
So there.
A little tidbit for you to ruminate.

I feel romantic today.
So tired of drawing and thinking too hard, but I'll let my lazy thoughts be inspired
by wonderful old fairytale illustrations and layers of pearls!

swiftly

beautiful whimsy.

Yoko Furusho's twisted fairytales.

Melinda Josie's delicate watercolours.


I love. I want to do something like this.
Possibly a graphic novel...
The colours make me think of mini cakes from this lovely bakery/tea place called the
Red Tea Box in Toronto. They make the most incredible little perfect creations.
My backup career is being a baker for them.
