I’ve been all over the place the past few days so the last thing on my mind was to be posting here. But there’s been this obsession, okay no it can’t be called an obsession – more like, a new love – for clothing made from denim. The only denim i own come in the form of jeans, shorts and skirts. And they’re as normal as it can get, you know? The first thought that comes to mind when you think denim mini skirt. (I’m outlining the shape with my fingers as i type this) It’s just blah. For me, to consider a denim jacket is a whole new level of sophistication i’m not sure i have in me. Does that make sense?
So i’ve been adding all these delicious denim pieces to my bookmarks and probably not gonna do anything about it… for now. I want to share some, so if you’re feeling like denim, come rock this boat with me.

Been awhile since i did one of these – Well muskokavintage has been on my etsy favourites for awhile now, partly cos they take really good photos of their clothes. It’s like the moment they step out of their houses, they’re greeted by the sea or fields of nothingness. I would kill for that, frankly. Sometimes i have so much envy for bloggers like Alix, Sally Jane, Effie, The Clothes Horse and Taghrid (just to name a few), i swear they live in paradise or something.
I’m going home for a week to sister-sit, i’ll have a slight change in environment, nothing drastic but i miss my white walls! Can’t leave these out, here are some photos from muskokavintage and isn’t that teal swimsuit the cutest thing? Yeah they make it look so good there, if i were to wear to a public pool, i’ll look like a complete looney.

It is quite clear that i’m hardly an accessory person, i did my time when i was younger and fell out of it soon after. But i enjoy them on people, it sure as hell takes a certain kind of effort to rake them in, mix & match and take them off. You gotta admit that one, taking them off is quite a hassle. Well despite me not being big on add-ons, i’ve been scouring etsy for head gears lately. The recent launch of ban.do is all over the internet and i suspect that ignited this crave for some feathers in my hair! Plus a downer of having short hair is not being able to do much with it y’know, my options are 1) blowdry 2) don’t blowdry.
I’m not sure how the idea of feathers came about – the first i saw was the piece from Bona Drag, made known by way of Dreamecho. Kennedyholmes also does a different take with hers. I found a couple of etsy sellers with similar versions and some others a little less flamboyant.
1. From GaiaTroveChicago 2. From maryjanefrances 3. From VieModerne 4. From thecandythief, she makes her head bands out of felt which definitely makes it look more abstract 5. From creativeyarn 6. From sewsephine
Another popular seller is charmschooldesign (not pictured) and her shop is by far my favourite to browse through. I’m not sure how i can incorporate these into my dressing but it’s something i’d like to try.

One of my favourite styles to wear is what i term, the ‘Little Girl’s Dress’. I will always search high and low for them on ebay but most of the time, i cannot squeeze my body into actual little girl dresses.
Sometimes i wish i could venture out of dressing ‘cute’ but i’ve been this way all my life, i figure this is who i am. It’s apparent in most of the things i buy/do/say/enjoy/like.
Do you remember a time when you tried to wear something you don’t usually do and you step out of your house and regret the whole time, tugging or pulling at your clothes, hoping somehow it would fall into place? I always do when i see something ‘adventurous’ and then i’d put it back on the rack.
