i’ve been interested a lot in shape recently. like how beauty exists in literally everything, even the two extremes. this has also lead to me feeling like i need to go on a detox or become a vegan or just completely cut out shit from my diet, not necessarily to ‘accomplish’ this idea of a ‘dream body’ or to fill in the quota of #skinnyforsummer [erg] but purely to change my routine. and to feel clean really .. it’s mainly an inside thing, an inside feeling which doesn’t have to reflect on the outside as so many people these days aim for. as long as it has you feeling good mentally//internally then i think it’s ok
this song has been buzzing around my head today. feelin those summer vibes
these are some stills from the irl trailer by Grant Singer
today was sunny, as in 24 degrees sunny so it was a shame doing our English exam (how far does act 4 scene 3 mark a change in Juliet’s character, how far are we invited to sympathise with her blah blah) but once you get into the swing of writing, things are ok.
it feels like after this week i can fully relax. all exams and revision over, teeth pulled out (for braces uh) and then just doing the things i need/want to do. but as im reminded in tutor everyday ‘if everything’s under control, you’re going too slow’ so i guess they’ll be something else round the corner just to keep me on my toes.. oh and this week im staying at my uncle’s which feels weird as it’s so far from school but it’s nice to have a bit of change. they have these massive old windows which are good for opening really wide and just sitting on the ledge with your legs dangling over. you know the type you just can’t resist
im revising for maths.
what is up with the maths classrooms at school. one reeks of weed and another smells of rotting vegetables or maybe that’s just a boy i sit near..
also i learnt in science that bananas share 50% of the same dna cells as humans.
watched this weird program about pigs and methane and fire and it all turned out to be quite disturbing. eh pigs are more similar to humans than you think..
at the moment, i want to do well at school but lack the motivation to put time and effort into work in class and outside class.
when you’re hungry at this time of night all you can do is wait for breakfast. or find pictures someway resembling cereals. or some people have fridges in their rooms
i keep trying to convince myself to start blogging again, but that’s only going to happen if i feel like there is a purpose of being here. i think the answer is to make this place into my own visual diary. pictures and thoughts and musings. not something that turns into a chore, i don’t feel like i should have a blog containing massive essays which i spend hours upon_
Just some inspiring stuff I encountered today on my daily browse across the internet.
Unif Holiday 2012: Nothing Lasts Whatever from their blog. I like the way that everything feels effortless throughout the images; the photography, the styling and even the models’ stances/posture. It’s also nice to not have everything perfectly sharp all the time. I think the haziness in a lot of these pictures is great. People are always after precision but, in my opinion, being precise is way over-rated.
Low Classic is a Korean label which deserves to be world renowned. I only just this week found out about it through Style Bubble (which is where the pictures above are from. You can also find a lot more on their website) but only today have I looked into the collections properly. And I guess that was a pretty good move… for a papaya. Although it does leave me lusting after more clothes from yet more collections. Hey-ho.

This song is the greatest. I love how, even though Little Dragon is just featuring in the song, Big Boi has still managed to keep the dreamy essence of her voice there. Uhhhhh, it’s a beautiful combination.
The rest of the pictures are here but this one particularly appealed to me. Maybe something to do with the complimentary colours: blue and orange?? I also found an interview with the model, Sophie Yall, on i-D’s website. She seems cute (❛ ◡ ❛)
Stills from Studio Ghibli’s Only Yesterday, which looks enchantingly brilliant. The colours. The flowers.
I just think this is a really nice photo of Stealing Sheep (by Nina Walbecq) and I don’t think I need to say much else except: Give me their outfits. Actually, I might have to look into where they shop.
I might keep adding to this throughout the rest of the day… if I’m not too busy eating wotsits, cheese strings and mini cheddars (like I have been so far – I have developed a true obsession).
update: i didnt
I felt like doing this post because, first of all, I needed a break from reading (I have been cooped up inside pretty much all day reading ‘An Idiot Abroad’ for English. It is ‘Stupidly funny’ as the Sunday Mirror suggests but I’m under pressure to read it all by Monday. Usually it takes me up to two weeks to read a normal sized novel… I like to take my time, and no I most certainly don’t get distracted by the likes of Instagram and co…) and secondly because I keep coming across holographic images/patterns/prints/designs etc in which I’ve taken a liken to. Tumblr is particularly great place to witness these goings on.
