I found a black high-low skirt at forever 21 and it's pretty much all I want to wear... like.. ever. You can get them in all lengths and the great thing about them as you can wear them to the front or the side for different looks. They can be super casual or super dressy so easily. Make sure you get at least 2 wear-everywhere dresses. Just found a mint green one at H&M and think I'll pick up this little apricot number today... you can't say no to a $20 dress that you know you're going to wear the shit out of. When you're getting your patterns try to get ones that either have a lot of colours or are pretty subtle so firstly they will go with a lot of stuff and secondly it won't be too obvious when you wear them more than once. When you're looking for your snakeskin item, you might be pretty tempted to grab some of the wild jeans you find, the dress from H&M or a trench. Try to avoid this as too much snakeskin can get to looking pretty skanky. Unlike florals, it probly won't be around for quite as long either... so just a touch is all you need.
So what's everyone's take on pattern pants? I hear so many people say they "can't pull it off".... I think they're great fun. And boys, would you wear these crazy paisleys?! |

As those of you close to me are already aware, I've decided to go on my path alone. The most important reason for this is simply that I'm not done with being just me. I woke up one morning and realized I want to wake up by myself again, I want to make decisions for me and me alone. If I want to stay out all night, I can, if I want to move to Toronto or Bali or Spain or Africa? I can. No one will stop me or judge me or ask me not to leave, there will be no guilt or broken hearts; just the support of friends who will be behind me no matter what I do. And so that was my decision. Alone.
And because of this, I took a week or so hiatus to re-adjust to a new mindset and now I'm back, and I'm my own muse at the moment. Everything I see and feel is brighter and more focused, I feel like I've been hibernating and I just woke up to spring flowers and flooding rivers.
When I sat down last night to paint, I didn't go about it my usual way, carefully selecting my idea and subject. Instead I just painted. It wasn't till I was done that I realized I'd made an emotional self portrait, all the colours and feelings that seem like they're coming out of me like fireworks: happy and sad and angry and worried and curious. So here it is... "I Feel in Colour"
