blue songs are like tattoos

hello hello! *air-kisses* (imagine me saying that like a wealthy socialite because i'm typing it feeling like a wealthy socialite partly because i'm wearing giant sunglasses indoors and eating fruit out of a champagne glass- but mostly because i'm A-list on the Kim Kardashian game)
--
 i've decided that instead of going through the somewhat-weekly anxiety of stressing about what to blog about- i'm just gonna do weekly roundups where i go over my vibes and music etc (in addition to any posts about ~important~ stuff). and hopefully this helps me get into a better blogging schedule for the future.

/ music



: unfinished and muted and beautiful



new-wave disco jamz n smart lyrics that sound like they're being breathed rather than sung



: sublime

I've been listening to these three songs on repeat for the past week-ish (which is really convenient considering they're pretty close to one another in the "B" section of my iTunes library) and they put me in a very specific "blu" aesthetic that's kind of similar to right after i watched submarine. 

but basically the idea is: walking through a rainy sea-side suburb of london while the sun rises and telephone wires hang precariously 


the sky in my neighborhood a few days ago. 

/ outfit








*note the very clean shoes which are a tell-tale sign of a professional fashion blogger*

sport goth or whatever. i'm sure one day in the not-so-distant future, i'll regret wearing a tutu over sweatpants, but not right now.

shirt \ yard sale
tutu \ childhood
sweatpants \ unknown 
bracelet (worn on ankle) \ childhood
boots \ unknown (but the reason i don't wear the super cool steel-toed boots anymore is because they were tragically stolen/lost)

whoa i’m seeing my own stuff on my dash
~funky~

old GIF-ed paper collage from my journal i guess inspired by a search for personal identity in a vast ocean of uncertainty; and the sensation of drowning in said ocean aka: being terrified but also feeling a breathtaking calm (deep?) (like the ocean) (yah- i went there)

/ inspiration

this looks kind of like the inside of a swimming pool and i really like the reflections of the clouds and the shape and shadows and i'd love to know where/what it is. when i checked the similar images on google- all i got were basically pictures of fleshed out bathrooms which was both calming and uncomfortable:



/ cool thang


Maggie from Futile Ramblings wrote some crazy insightful stuff about how time "exponentially decreases into infinity" and it was mind-blowing (further proving that teenage girls are incredibly complex and intelligent).

You could argue that Giambattista Valli Fall Couture 2014 is what inspired my outfit but I took those photos in March/April and the show was in July so I'm forced to "imply" that the collection stole my style (I'M KIDDING). 

But anyway- I really love the looks in this show: it's like feminine and elegant but lazy - someone who rolled out of their pajamas to go to a wedding with enormous dyed feather skirts, and silhouettes from the 50s.

Her blog is amazingly hilarious and creative and fun to read and i'm so happy it exists (heart emojis)
