Got No Human Grace

I was watching Les Yeux Sans Visage (1960) today, on The Auteurs, and I got to 83 minutes in, and it just stopped. I was very disappointed. I had been enjoying it very much. I had less than ten minutes left to watch, and it failed. Bugger. So I guess that means I have to rent it now, huh?
I guess I could. I need to watch the end of The Brothers Bloom as well. I really enjoyed what I saw of it. I heart Adrien Brody, and all of Rachel Weisz's outfits were so cute! Bang Bang was adorably eccentric, also.
Anyway, back to Les Yeux... The daughter, Christiane (played by Edith Scob) was an etherealy pretty little creature. Even with her mask on, she just had something about her, the way she moved and carried herself.





Also, the scenery was beautiful. There were all of these wonderful shots of Paris.


And there were, of course, all of the old-fashioned cars. This one was my favourite:

(Look at the apartment behind it with the tower room! I wish I lived right there!)

Anyway, that's what I've done today. I think I will now go watch the fourth episode of the new season of Skins, and then I'll be caught up.

PS - I'm super sad that I left my pink Essie nail polish at Junior's house. She's leaving for Jamaica tomorrow and last night I chipped my right thumbnail fastening Jenn's belt.

My webcam does not do this colour justice. It's a bright highlighter pink. It blinds me slightly every time I look down at my hands.

Spring 2010

I would like to have one of those Miu Miu blouses with the naked women on them.

Rest in Peace, Mr McQueen.

Faux Pas

Okay, so Prada shoes gave me a huge blister, about the size of a penny, on my left heel. Ouch. I looked totally fashionable walking with a limp for half the day. But, then again, really fashionable people don't complain about pain. Fashion before comfort and all that. Beauty is pain, and vice versa.

My outfit today was totally hot, though. AND comfortable. I wish I had a picture of it, but I'll probably wear it again.

There was something else I felt the need to inform yous guys of last time, in a post script, but now I can't remember it, so it musn't have been very important.

Ugly Sweater Party

Hey guys, back to school tomorrow. I need to decide on a full week's worth of awesome outfits.

I think on the first day I will wear a white t-shirt, my denim leggings, a skinny red belt and/or ginormous black floral pin, and my Prada oxfords, seeing as I don't have to walk very far.

For our last week of freedom, some of my friends and I did some fun stuff, like go to the zoo.


Friday night we had an Ugly Sweater Party. I had gone out the day before and bought three sweaters at Value Village. The one I ended up wearing was a red cardigan with cows on it and a barn on the back. The other two I bought because one of them was probably the most hideous sweater I had ever seen (it looked like someone had chewed up a bunch of other sweaters and then thrown them up again), and the other was that type of sweater that every man had in the eighties. Yeah, that one.
Anyway, we had chocolate fondue, and watched cheesy horror movies, then my friends Cat, Junior, and I stayed up until 6 a.m. doing next to nothing.

"They are souls, but they can't be saved."

... Communists, apparently. Looks like I'm going straight to hell.

Hello Dean, my only follower.

So, what's up with me? I have spent a lot of money on clothes lately.

On Monday I ordered a lot of clothing from Urban Outfitters, including a few pairs of $90 trousers that had been marked down to $20. I was quite proud of myself. And thought that this justified my spending a little.

This morning I got a vintage skirt in the mail. It's another Etsy purchase. It's super cute. I wore it today:

Also, I bought that necklace yesterday, at H&M, when I went to Square One to see 500 Days of Summer, which was an excellent movie. I had slept over at a friends house the night before, and had packed an outfit, but had forgotten to accessorise it. So I had to buy a necklace when I got to the mall.

I had been so looking forward to this movie, and it didn't disappoint. I love Zooey Deschanel, as both actress and singer. And her outfits were great, too. I especially loved this little periwinkle-blue-ish dress that she wore to a co-worker's wedding.

And her apartment... Gah! To. Die. For. Makes me want to leave home even more desperately. The highlights were were wallpapers and paper-crane tree.

The soundtrack was also awesome. Who doesn't love The Smiths?

Anyway, I leave you with one of my outfits from one of my (far fewer than 500) days of Summer.



Just a simple grey t-shirt dress, white zip-up canvas shoes, my faux-wayfarers, and one of the best vintage buys I have ever made: my black hat.

Updating.

Hai guyz. Or guy, as Dean seems to be my only follower.

I wore my new (vintage) Prada shoes out of the house for the first time today. There's no going back now. Those beautiful soles are well and truly scratched.

I have a bunch of outfits to post here, but I need to move them from the camera to my computer first.

I'm not sure whether to dye my hair red again or go a darker brown. I already have a dye for either option, so...
