Pretty Moments Captured by Carl

I have devoured almost every image that swedish photographer, Carl Kleiner took.

From interiors to portraits, and of everyday life, his images are so beautiful and scrolling through his photo diary just left me wanting more and more.. hopefully he updates often because I'll be checking back soon!

ohhhh here she comes

A better photo of my hair from the last post. I don't know if you can tell but I'm wearing a braided double headband from Zara. I have no idea how it came out so well, I think I was watching TV while I put it up absentmindedly. I do remember taking out around 15 bobby pins at the end of the day though. Second photo has nothing to do with the first but I like it anyway. I hope he doesn't end up with carpal tunnel, seriously.

To answer a few questions about the photo in that last "happy" post: I bought the Totoro dolls at a kiosk in a mall in Southern California and the ceramic eggs are from Daiso in Japantown. I don't know if that kiosk even exists anymore or if the eggs are still around since it's been a while since I bought them. I don't know where to find them online, unfortunately.

The days are getting shorter so it's hard to take pictures without good natural light. I don't necessarily like any of these pictures but I wanted to show you guys how beautiful this dress is. The color and the cut somewhat reminds me of the Proenza Schouler dress. To be honest, although I had picked this dress out from Modcloth awhile back, it took me awhile to like it. It was somewhat too 'Mad Men' for me (as in very vintage/classic looking) but the gloomy day in San Francisco made me want to wear something with color so I put it on, belted it to make it more 'me' and now I love it so much that I want to wear it again in different ways.

P.S. yes, I know my hair needs help but I currently am too busy working and with school so please bear with me until December..

Oh, and thank you all for your kind words via my comment box/email/ and twitter.

I started this blog for me for my own good but I enjoy updating it because of you guys.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. =D

The next time someone asks me to summarize my style in one word I'm going to be crass and say it: I'M JUST LAZY. Sometimes I like to care a little but for the most part this is what drives the way I dress now. The busier I am, the less I fuss over my appearance. I admitted that for a while that I thought I was letting myself go, which is somewhat true, I suppose, but after a while I realized that I may just finally be getting comfortable with the way I want to look which isn't really anything special. So what if I wear the same things over and over again? Isn't that what you're supposed to do when you buy clothing you claim to love? As a friend of mine stated so eloquently:

my whole thing is just

stop being "things"

and just get dressed
c*****

Maybe I'm just a lil' cranky about everything that's been going on with Four Loko. THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS! Everything is good in moderation, guys.
