Her innocence was fragile. Tangled in webs spun of threads

Via A Hard-Core Grave Robber, Weheartit, Stream of Light

Masculine femininity. Or: Shades of brown

Weheartit, Majpaj, Jak & Jil, Garance Doré, and other sources that I unfortunately cannot remember.

Isn't it interesting how today women tend to dress like men, but that in the 1800s and even before, it was the other way around? Men even wore corsets in order to have a tiny waist. And heeled shoes, knee socks, make-up, wigs... Can you imagine?

So odd.

Makes me think about femininity and masculinity differently. Are they rigid, solid? Is there even a difference, in a non-biological sense?

I fell in love with Frankie. Head over heels. It's just that... these long distance relationships... they do not really work. Otherwise we could have shared my bicycle and have had a summer picnic in a field of flowers.

God save the Queen's birthday

This 'Koninginnedag', or Queen's Day, I will be searching the flea markets for...


---
... little figurines


?, ---
... which will fit nicely in a wooden 'letterbak' (is that 'type case' in English?). Preferably the right one, but most common is the left one.


---
... picture frames


---
... and vintage leather bags.


And anything else pretty that says 'pick me!'

You give me the electric twist and it kicks like a pony

Electric Twist - A Fine Frenzy

La Garçonne

Painting by Lisa Rucker, Alexa Chung, Pandora, Chanel, Chloé.

Spring longing is pastels, suits and nouvelle vague.
And a bit of this.

Favourite Lula picture.

Spring comes early this year

All See by Chloe pictures from chloe.com

Longing for bare legs, blossoming trees and the sun warming my face. The fashion world doesn't really help either, selling their spring collections in the midst of winter... See by Chloe looks so nice this season. I love-love the coat and pants in the above pictures. I'm also anxiously waiting for A.P.C. to show their lookbook. I already saw their men's accessories line: the messenger bags are just too lovely. Perfect for school.

I'm a fool.. to want you

REFINEMENT

Longing for France after a presentation on French culture. Professors are cruel.

When class was canceled this morning, my friend and I had a cup of tea (or coffee..) and a pastry. Then did some shopping and bought two secondhand dresses (in need of adjustments) instead of the coat and shoes I was looking for but couldn't find. And then, I sat down on the sofa with another cup of tea and Vogue Paris and AnotherMan, while the autumn weather was blowing the leaves from the trees and making everything smell awfully nice...

This makes for a very, very good day.

My newly created Tumblelog: Notitieboekje. It will be filled with pages from my notebooks. Well, they're more scrapbooks or mini moodboards, actually. I love pretty papers, pictures and all other things small and flat that I can glue in my notebooks to make those pages look even nicer!
