i think it's a night for the library

so jump off a cliff with me... i'm ready to get out of this lil blogger bubble. i mean all of us have a bubble right?  what pictures we are comfortable posting, how we look, what we will or won't write about...

i started blogging for lighthearted fun... it was a stressful time for me and i just thought it might be fun.  but the truth is i am not very "lighthearted".  i'm kind of an extremist in some ways i guess. and so being lighthearted has become a bit anemic.  it feels fake.  not that i'm fake, i just mostly don't say what's on my mind.  there are a few reasons... 1/ cuz this is the internet and i just didn't want to approach it that way when i first started blogging, 2/ cuz i often live alone in my mind, it's been my safe sacred place and 3/ like i said it was a stressful time and i just wanted to do something not very taxing.  but things change which is normal and i feel like i have some friends here.

so welcome to my heavy hearted place on the net!  haha

anyhow... onto things that REALLY matter...

you really should watch this video.  i love stylelikeu & tavi

and here is one of my all time fav stylelikeu videos of kristine barilli

these are my two all time favorite fashion inspirations... quirky/grrly & goth...  so there you have that

ok, so not gonna get deep on y'all taday... hope you liked the videos

the funky daughter

this dress is one of my favorite etsy purchases to date. it is soo soft and fits like a dream.... check out the tarantula sisters for more amazing vintage. i really recommend scouring etsy for vintage... there are lots of high priced shops(with AMAZING pieces), but if you take the time you can find lots of shops with a style niche and decent prices. i mostly shop at goodwill and salvation army, but there are times when i am looking for something in particular and etsy has delivered... right now i have my eye on quite a few pieces and hopefully some of them will be mine soon :) gotta finish my christmas shopping first though :P

i went to see the black swan this weekend! it was unbelievable... a true fairytale... well, my kind of fairytale... very dark, but deep and beautiful as well...

i also recommend the 10 questions for the dalai lama and jean-michel basquiat: the radiant child. i watched both multiple times in the last few days.... i did have to return them today, but am considering buying both

vintage/secondhand dress-tarantula sisters, jet by john eshaya cardi, love quotes cashmere scarf, chloe docs, vintage sunnies stolen from the boy, beanie handmade by yours truly, inklined knee highs-sockdreams

no longer, no longer

didn't make it to the movies this weekend, but i did watch capote (starring philip seymour hoffman) at home... it was really good... was curious to see the performance that beat heath ledgers ennis del mar... and it didn't disappoint. i sometimes don't understand how they give academy awards, as it's such a matter of opinion. but i love watching all the nominees... which i haven't normally seen because i'm just not into "big" movies...

had fun in downtown. i don't normally like driving and parking in downtown l.a., but once i'm there i always enjoy walking around the city... i definitely feel like i should be more familiar with it..

thorn in my pride

are you wanting inspiration
you spill your secrets on me
then you tell me with a whisper
of things that will never be.
do you hear me breathing?
does it make you want to scream?
did you ever like a bad dream?
sometimes life is obscene.
