It's been a long time but now I'm back in town

OH HI harpersbazaargaga Gagaloo in Harpers Bazaar, graphic made by me

So I'm done school for now, and have a few weeks before summer classes start! I'm really excited for this summer because the last two I spent travelling, and I'm actually looking forward to have a REAL summer with my friends doing summery things (how many times can I use the word summer in one sentance, apparently that's my goal to find out). I've got a long list of things I want to do, like keep a garden in my backyard, try out a million new recipes, and maybe do a few photoshoots. Obviously, summer plans wouldn't be complete without a MASSIVE list of DIYs, ammirite?? Image1 All unknown sources (sorry!) except for the one in the middle, from Kristabel's blog


You didn't think my love of black just ends with warmer weather did you? I am dedicated to my dark side, and it looks like I'm craving a lot of drapey and interesting details for some future projects. I want to made a lattered t-shirt body con dress, kind of like the one in the top left corner, sheer skirts with interesting hemlines, lace-up details, drapey poncho-type shirts, grey jersey pencil skirt with lots of room for scrunching, and maybe even a mexican rug jacket to look stylish in any outdoorsy activities (camping?). Can't wait to get started, let the summer of domesticity COMMENCE!

I love the graphic you did!
I was just listening to my Lady Gaga CD and overheard her sing "I'm shiny and I know it" and I immediately thought of your quick description by your profile picture haha very clever!

I actually study Politics and English Literature, which is why I mention both on the blog- I always wonder whether people get confused!
My dissertation is for English and is on Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his representation of his muses in his poetry and his painting, and an examination of how these representations have been manipulated into the wider myth of him as an artist.
That may have been too much information, I apologise!
I have so many things I still need to sew, I am hoping when I graduate I can stop procrastinating and get the hell on with it.

Antonia said...

Amazing Gaga pic - lots of great inspiration in this post!

i always had a weakness for sheer skirts and now you kind of made me seriously crave for one (the one in the collage on the upper left is perfection.) that i can wear for the rest of spring and summer (and maybe for the rest of my life. i wouldn't have a problem with that either, i think.). need-to-buy-fabric-!-!-!

p.s. i love you and your "90ies-pseudo-goth" style <3
