a silly muse

I really love blues and camels, especially together. Plus these two compliment my overly pale Irish skin, blue eyes, and reddish/blonde hair. This is a very Kelly outfit. I want to wear it now, but have you any idea how difficult it is to find a skirt like this? It’s actually quite annoying. If I do come across one, it’s ridiculously expensive. I also like these heels, a tad too high, but the color would go nicely with most items in my closet. And could you imagine having pretty blue nails to match!?

Happy Monday! I’m feeling ridiculously giddy today because my school semester is finally over and this time next week I shall be in sunny Los Angeles! I had a nice relaxing weekend filled with some of my favorite things: parents, puppies, Emily, tea, yummy food, and presents. It was nice for that since I’ll be in California for a whole month.

Emily and I went on a date to Michael’s and I found these travel related stickers, so I created my own little adventure on one of my notebooks. Above is what travel means to me, adventure is necessary to live a happy life (in my opinion).

Currently, my brain/body/soul is being taken over by the above mentioned words. I’ll (hopefully) see you next week, when school is over and I’ve had the weekend to readjust.

Ah, last week of the semester, you have arrived at last. Only 4 more days of late nights, repetitive film viewings, theory re-readings, and paper typing/editing/fixing/retyping.

For now, let’s enjoy the stellar-ness of Alfred Hitchcock.

Happy Friday! Happy weekend! ONE more week for the semester to be over! This weekend shall be filled with the highest amount of fun as I head down to NYC for the Mega Media Showcase hosted by my lovely schoolmates. I’ll get to see various other friends, too. Much excitement!

- Picasso also had a dachshund (named Lump)!

- This coconut/chocolate pie looks absolutely delicious.

- This love letter necklace is filled with sweetness.

- This is a great gift tag idea!

- I’m undeniably in love with this big chunky plaid scarf.

- TCM will be honoring Eastman preservation efforts!

- I certainly speak fluently in movie quotes.

My babies. <3

I decided to do this outfit post because of a recent conversation with my mom. As she was teasing me for only owning two pairs of jeans (I’m a skirt/dress girl), I hurried to say I had three, and reminded her of the pink ones I own. Apparently, they don’t count. Jeans constitute as blue denim. Alas, I disagree. My pink ones suffice gloriously and I much prefer wearing them over the blue ones I own.

Anyway, I compared the two colors and used the same top, sweater and boots. Each jean got its own bag and the earrings/bangles could easily go with each outfit. You might notice the bag (very similar to this one), taunting me once again, just in a different color! Cruel.

Happy Monday. 10 more days until my semester is over! Then just ONE MORE left! Yippeeeeeeee! To keep me alive for the next days, I shall dream of Paris. I miss the beautiful city and I hope it isn’t too long until I can return.

Well, happy December! I’m so excited for this weekend (not really)! Two weeks left of the semester = no time for fun. Other than my normal weekend tea visit with Emily, I’ll be closing myself up in my house working studiously away on paper writings and readings. One paper is about Marshall McLuhan, Videodrome, and Cronenberg and the other is on Vertigo and a subject I haven’t thought of yet. Laura Mulvey? Too easy. Hitch’s romantic irony perhaps? Also easy, but fun. Ah, decisions. At least I have the McLuhan one figured out. That was the difficult one.

And for the adorations!

- I think I need this bikini top for when I move back to Los Angeles.

- DIY votives using mason jars and fabric.

- colorful SmartWool boot socks.

- Construction of Mt. Rushmore (I’m so excited to see it for real next year).

- November 29 marked the 25th anniversary of Cary Grants death. Such a sad loss for the world of cinema.

- I want this spiral staircase to be in my future home.

- Want a deck of awesome cards? I’d go for one of these: Helveticards, Tim Burton Playing Cards, or Monochromatic Deck of Cards.
