Nice things
This isn’t quite a Christmas wishlist since I don’t ask for anything for Christmas. I have an aunt who gives terrible presents every year – the unneccesary address book, questionable useless black pouch, random key chain with a letter C? – so i never expect much where presents are concerned, but the food has to be good. Anyway i’m sharing some things i’ve had bookmarked, some favourites on etsy and so on. I’ve messed up my sleeping patterns again, i sleep at 4pm and up at 12am, so i haven’t gone out much less wore anything worth mentioning, i haven’t done anything exciting except play Guitar Hero (attempting medium mode right now). And i hate to go quiet here so here’s something till i have something better.

How perfect is this sailor dress? It would be completely perfecto if it fit me, so not so perfect afterall.

Cecilia and her lace dress
Last weekend i found the time to watch The Virgin Suicides. I’m usually more of a print than screen person but the magic about film for me is the wardrobe. When i read the book (many years ago), imagining what the Lisbon sisters would be dressed in never occurred to me. Yeah that was a baggy-jean-wearing-Melly with track shoes. Well i was particularly charmed by Cecilia in the film, pretty ironic cos i was attracted to Lux’s character in the book. I’m blaming her lace dress because that’s all i can think about since that night. That’s all i search for on ebay. There’s no way i can pull off her innocence so i’m not even gonna try but this girl’s going into my book of girls – Wednesday Addams, Gwen Stefani (her No Doubt days), Claire Danes in R+J and so on…
If you’ve been like “whuut?’ during the whole chunk above, sorry!, here are some stills from the film. It’s all of Cecilia and her dress. I love it, i love how she wears it all the time and it’s grannyish but with some urg-yeah grunge rebellion thing going on. I don’t know, her boredom with life must give her more attitude.
I also put these together, some pieces to recreate Cecilia’s look.
1, 2, 4, 5 – i cant seem to find the cape on topshop.com but it’s selling for $99 if anyone’s asking.

Ideally, idealism, ideals
I suspect my senses have been altered by some peculiar, yet-to-be-defined force. For about two weeks now, i haven’t been floored by anything on ebay. The items on my watch-list are there for the sake of. What i do want are things i cannot afford and i dislike that of me right now. I was surfing La Garconne for abit and don’t laugh when i say deep down, this is what i want to walk out of my door in everyday, ideally, if i could, if only i could, even for a week, okay just four days since i pulled out four items.
United Bamboo, Rag & Bone, 3.1 Philip Lim, A.Wang. Click on the image if you want to go on to the site while i wallow in self-pity.
