telephone lines and unsettling silence

October 11, 2013

I took this montage around this time last year while sitting in the car with my old boyfriend. I was looking back through some old pictures on my phone and found this, and I just watched it for quite a while. I think there’s something so beautiful in the streak of light near the horizon, and the quiet passing of the cars. Seeing things like this make me really nostalgic, and leave me with a strange sort of heaviness. I don’t really know what else I can say about this, other than “I think there should be an Adele song playing in the background.”

I wish I were a good photographer so I could capture the quiet yet beautiful essence of moments like these better. The best I have for now is writing, which is pretty good, since words can be amazing on their own.

Sorry for the delay in posts! I have a lot, just haven’t had the time to organize and post them yet. Thanks for staying tuned,

Lots of love and stay warm!

September Makeup Haul! +Makeup Arrangment

October 1, 2013

Bought some new makeup recently!!! There goes money :'( I’m pretty happy with most of my purchases. The baby lips, Chi, and PINK perfume are repurchases. (I love these products and use them up all the time.) Unfortunately, a few days ago I packed a case of some brushes and products (needed to do my makeup on the go.) And I haven’t been able to find it!!! D: Some of my favorite makeup brushes are in there…. but I don’t remember exactly what was in there….so I’m going to have a really hard time replacing the stuff if I can’t find it. :'( Also the new fakeup concealer from benefit that I bought and really like!! was also in there. I have such terrible luck sometimes I swear…

This is where I’ve recently been doing my makeup! I moved my desk to the middle of my room sometime in the summer, and it’s pretty much been chilling there ever since. I have a lot of my makeup in organizational bins/plastic boxes, and then my eyeliners and brushes and mascaras in cups. There are two huge mugs on the table too; I put my studded earrings in one of them, and my favorite hair accessories in the other. On the bottom left corner of the second picture, you can see my shitty incense set up. (Really been feeling the incense lately, helps me fall asleep too~)

I’m doing my next post on my fashion and accessories haul of the past month or so!

Stay tuned, leave comments, questions, or requests.

Love,

Fall/Winter Wishlist

September 24, 2013

Hey everyone!!
Fall is sneaking up quickly. Can you believe summer came and went so quickly!?! I can still almost smell the flowers and feel some remainder of the lazy heat. :-/
Hopefully next summer I can be in Shanghai again!!

Anyway, I thought I would make a list of some fashion items I want for the coming fall and winter seasons.

First on my list is SWEATERS~!
