dreamy

it's been damp and dreary lately and this hangover isn't making things any better.

i've been having lots of weird dreams. i dreamed i was in tokyo but i'd only brought one dress with and it was floor length red velvet and totally inappropriate. except upon waking i saw that it would be totally appropriate, if it had been real.

i want to go someplace far away and unfamiliar.

new york in january

i spent the weekend in new york visiting friends and freezing my butt off. bought lots of nice pens and  the above striped dress and too many cab rides. enjoyed a foggy dance party with the likes of emily, liz,  anna, and hannah. peeped the golden globes (charlize theron and miranda july were robbed imo), and had arguments about what to call circle scarves (vs snood, neck sleeve, etc). 

still pondering if the uniqlo 'heattech' jawn is legit or just marketing mumbo jumbo. wore heattech tights over heattech long johns and still had icicles for legs. i may be a sucker.

all told it was a lovely trip.

thrifted shades, scarf from etsy, thrifted duffle coat, uniqlo striped dress, free people mittens (i actually found these on the ground after a party and they are the warmest mofos), doll tote bag from renegade craft fair last summer, coach purse, uniqlo tights, thrifted ankle boots

film inspiration: last tango in paris

last night i watched this controversially kinky film from 1972, last tango in paris. one of the most sexually frank and also pretty dark narratives from its time, and i would go ahead and say it's dirtier and darker than anything i've seen lately. but in a really interesting and real way. it kind of ruined the young actress maria schneider's career and youth, but it's brilliantly shot and jeanne has some great 70s looks going on.

the new year is giving me the chills! but in a good way? i have lots of things i want to give a fresh start- this blog and my etsy shop, to name a couple. plus i've got a few resolutions i'm working on... mostly positive thinking and drawing more. might start posting some comics, or i might put them up in their own separate space. actually, i'm just going to leave the decisions for later.

anyways, go on and take advantage of the mad january discount--> lots of vintage goodies $25 and under!

merry christmas, happy hanukkah, etc.

i'm not being particularly festive but i got a haircut and i'm at home for the weekend drinking tea and eating tons of holiday treats. also caught a cold and i look like a commercial for nyquil with a red stuffy nose but i'm trying not to be a downer. bah humbug or whatever.

happy holidays!

cold front

this weekend was busy busy, between holiday parties, craft fairs, and sleeping all day i'm surprised i got anything done. i managed to squeeze in a little movie marathon, before sunrise and before sunset- both on netflix instant if you want a little ethan hawke hottie body romantic european romp (hint hint, you totally do!!). okay, now i'm off to craft some holiday presents and crank my heat up to 75.

winter has arrived.
i turned my heat on and it's so cozy in my room now. and also so much harder to get out of bed.
these photos were taken downtown and i'm liking the change of scenery. actually, i was surprised that this rainy alley looks so ~romantic~ through the camera lens.
