"i feel happy when i'm on my bed, in my room with a good book." - Françoise Hardy

all rainbows and smiles

the wedding of Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman

the wedding of Roman Polanksi and Sharon Tate

i have four recent obsessions: the Zodiac serial killer, the concept of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl stock character (scan from my visual diary to come soon), conflicted heroes, and weddings.

my love for weddings has never really come from a desire to be married or in a serious relationship but just to have a day where i have an excuse to throw a really great party and wear lovely clothes so that all my invited friends and family can spend the duration of a two hour reception celebrating what a wonderful person i am. then, me, myself, and i would happily jump onto an airplane for a relaxing honeymoon for one.

if you're wondering where the videos of the above weddings come in, it's my interest in conflicted heroes. the husbands in both cases have or eventually will have their name tarnished over the years - by racism or sexual perversion - but on their wedding day, with their newly wedded wives looking at them longingly, can we forgive them? can all the other good they've done allow us to ignore the bad stuff? can this work with mere mortals? can it work with me?

a modern day teenage witch typically has underdeveloped abilities and uses tarot cards and palm reading as the outlet for her powers. that being said, it would be a foolish decision to ever underestimate them. get their style:

ruby corduroy circle skirt

embroidered kitty flats

gothic frill mini dress

Mexican chalupa hanging earrings

burgundy velvet dress

and then like the entire A/W'11 collection Alexa Chung did with Madewell (*grabby hands*)
