And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last,
I may without fail,
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.
-Dylan Thomas






What I'm Wearing:
Vintage Plaid Cape (Bought this at Armstrongs Vintage in Edinburgh- only twelve pounds, I am in LOVE), American Apparel Knee High Socks, Urban Outfitters Oversized Black Sweater, Boots bought on ebay.

I'd love to tell you what I have been doing, but after thinking about the last few days, I am actually unsure as to what precisely has been happening in my life. I have been very relaxed, probably too relaxed. Spent a great deal of time in cafes- caffeine overload with the best people in my life. Been wandering around the charity shops in Durham too- found an oversized button up velvet shirt which pretty much made my week. Went out last night. Cocktails for 3 pounds, shame I only had one. Came home, we sat around in pyjamas, ate toast, listened to Kanye West then fell asleep in my big pink bed.

I've started a sister blog to my beloved Frassy, called Sporadic Soul. Think of it as an overflow via screen of my thoughts and inspirations. Its not going to be anything like this and might even be verging on the weird, whacko side. But enjoy & embrace.

Finally, three songs I am obsessed with:
Hot Mess, Cobra Starship. Revelry, Kings of Leon. Photographs, Rihanna Feat. Will. I. Am.

what a true english-savvy :) a dylan thomas quote. love it!
was a shame you couldn't make it to the shop in cambridge for your talk, was very much looking forward to it!
i'm applying for english at uni in london to then go onto fashion journalism so you're an utter inspiration to me
PD x

great cape! Revelry is one of my favourite songs!

We just did a massive amateur fashion photoshoot in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, Australia & would love you to take a peak at what we came up with. Some pretty hot vintage indie inspired pieces all for sale :) x.x.

love the checked cape!!it looks great on you!

Isa said...

don't worry about being too relaxed.
I think it is something about this time of year, everything is rather gloomy and personally I enjoy simply giving in to this bitterweet ambiance.
funny enough, I've been incredily busy lately as you might have noticed, bill clinton would be proud of me for sleeping four hours per night and then getting up to massive piles of works.
I am kind of extatic though (might be just the caffeine as I think about it) although I deeply missed my virtual life- crazy how this becomes a part of your life but I happily embrace it!

I hope you're fine, maybe we should catch up via email..
anyways, I'm back, just wanted to make sure you know!
