--DREAMY--

I have crazy dreams. I always remember them, and they're always really vivid and really, really weird. It's a family joke. So today I decided to start reading Freud's Interpretations of Dreams, or whatever the title is-maybe I'll find out I have deep-rooted psychiatric problems or something...wahey, fun times! Does anyone else get strrrange dreams sometimes?

Anyway, these photos were ones I thought were, in some way, slightly unusual-trippy, if you will-for many reasons, be it the subject matter, the lighting, or the double-exposure. Difficult at first to label definitely and explain in clear cut words-like dreams.

--SUNNY AFTERNOON--

I took these before the snow came and the sky shrugged on its cloak of clouds for a week straight. These winter afternoons are my favourite type of weather-the light stays the same from about 9 to 4 (it's so disorientating!) and is so clear and bright, yet never blinding. The cold offsets the sun, and the sun the cold, so that you're never too chilly, but nor are you ever too hot in your multiple layers. The frost makes patterns which you wouldn't believe were possible until you saw it. And the sky is so blue-not the washed-out blue of summer heatwaves, but an intense, deep blue reminiscent of the bottom of swimming pools. The world is so still it feels like it's holding its breath.

--MISTAKE #2--

NOOO I JUST DID IT AGAIN!!! STOOPID BLOGLOVIN!!

--SCRUFFY--

In French they call this style 'déshabillée'. In English we call it 'caj'. Why are the French naturally about 12340 times more elegant than the rest of the world?

Personally I'm a big fan of the relaxed look when dressing myself. (Is that laziness coming through there? Why, of course not. It's obviously my massively pre-considered style ponderings which lead me to chuck on some leggings and a nice baggy jumper with blah hair (I don't chuck on my hair...that would be weird. I mean, I chuck them on and accompany them with blah hair.)(Still doesn't quite sound right does it? I'll get workin' on the whole 'self-expression' thing) as opposed to a desire for comfort and ease...) The world seems that bit more bearable seen from the safety of a snuggly jumper.

Still, you gotta have a bit of attichude to carry it off without looking like a lazy-ass slob. I fear that is where I fail, but I'm practising my pout and Little-J dishevelled eyeliner. (LOL jk, I do IB, clearly I don't have time for actual leisure activities. But when I eventually buy myself a new eyeliner pencil I might start amending my temporary aversion to any make up. At all. Even powder.)

--ANOTHER ENDING--

And another week draws to an end. It snowed here (finally), although I haven't even had one single snowball fight yet! The trials of growing up...Hope everyone has a great weekend! I for one am planning to pig out on cookies and Haribo while reading 'Freedom', which my mum hid from me to prevent me from reading it late into the night. But I finally got it, haha!

--ALEXA--

Just saw this video with Alexa Chung on style.com-what a gem. (Makes a change from the usual heavily accented backstage, "Zis season I woz teenking of laik a vairy byootiful wooman..."-Dolce and Gabbana, I love you, but just stick to Italian.) "Is he in MGMT, isn't he in MGMT? That's the sort of shit that goes down in Brooklyn." I've always idly liked her style, but her sense of humour is just such classic English self-deprecation, I love it. Guess who's stalking youtube for Alexa Chung tv shows? (If you can't get the answer to that one, well, just go home. You need some special time.)

--ON THE SHOULDER--

Garance wrote about this the other day. I keep meaning to wear my coat this way-slung over my shoulders (it's a great substitute for a cape)-but I keep forgetting because it's so cold I can't bear to do anything other than clutch my coat around myself and fold my arms against the wind. But I like the way it instantly makes you look sophisticated, yet effortless-so maybe when the temperatures rise a bit I'll road test my new style!
