Pinhole.

I looked up how to make a pinhole "lens" for my digital camera, bought the supplies this weekend, and am going to try it out soon. I just love the look of pinhole photography; it's so dreamy. If I see any results I like, I'll post them. Hopefully they can turn out anything like these pinhole shots:

The Boyfriend

I know that it comes and goes as a trend, but honestly, does wearing boy's clothing ever get old? It's often called "boyfriend" clothing, but I buy boy's clothes for myself sometimes. And I don't like the oh-so-clever marketing of the phrase in womens lines. I'm not going to buy "boyfriend jeans," I'd prefer to just wear my boyfriend's jeans (yes, they fit me) or shop on the men's side.

Although, there is something strangely sexy about wearing clothes that smell like boy. I used to subscribe to that idea so much that I wore men's cologne, although that's not the smell I like now. I don't like cologne; I like that hard-to-define soap-on-skin, faintly sweaty, cottony man smell. Having said that, however, the smell of CK One still makes me a little melty. What can you do?

Taking a break from picture a day until I figure out some stuff with my camera :(

Hairz

If I had a superficial magical ability, I would like to be able to change my hair at will. My hair doesn't react well to change; it likes to be long and dark, and that's sort of that. I keep struggling with it, telling it that it also wants bangs, but it's putting up a good fight there and keeps growing them out at a ridiculous rate. So, I'll just keep chopping them off until it gets the point.

(side note: is it considered crazy to personify your own hair? hm...)


Hairstyles I'd like to try.
Dark and sleek.

Long and loose.

All kinds of fun.

Hello, March!

Is it too early to be dressing for spring? Eh, whatever, it's March, and I can wear floral patterns if I want to.

Happy Weekend!

It's supposed to rain this weekend, but I intend to have a lovely and productive one anyway. Hope yours is great too!

Linnea Strid

I'm not normally one for photo realistic painting, but for some reason, these really struck me. They're by Swedish artist Linnea Strid, and I think they're gorgeous.








I also like these pencil drawings of hers:
