I've been starting to really miss being in the city. Its quite strange, because I do like the country so I've been thinking about it a lot. I think that at times like these when I have nothing to do, choices to make, and feel a bit directionless it is easier to be surrounded by lots of people in a place that is always moving. It can make you feel a bit less stagnant even if you are the only person in the room who has no place to be.
To add to that, as a quiet person and professional daydreamer, I've always loved how the city allows you to just be and blend in amongst the crowds. As ridiculous as it may be, I always feel so much more self conscious and uncomfortable in small towns. That, and the country drives my allergies crazy so I am always forced to take medicine that makes me even more useless than ever so that really doesn't help. (/geek)
Do you remember that song? A while ago a friend and I 'accidentally' ended up exploring a bunch of Toronto backyards. Someone actually had this carriage in theirs, just sitting there with about 20 bikes. I must admit that I'm quite jealous, and if I was stronger and...more prone to thievery I just might have taken it home with me.
First, some stills from 'Your Highness'. I'm so excited for this, haha. What a perfect couple.
On the subject of things we observed on our trip, here are some new She and Him photos from 'Bust' magazine. I really like the collage style, the hair and of course the clothes - especially the blue dress/romper and white dress!
photos from zooey-deschanel.net, and google, haha.
A while ago, I did a modern remake of 'Thumbelina' for my illustration class. After many variations of the characters and setting (so many outfit possibilities, haha!), these are the ones I settled on as part of the set.
Back again! I've spent the past few days packing, moving and reorganizing everything around my house. How boring, haha. Right now I am very in love with this dress from Anthropologie. Its just another reminder of how badly I need a job, sigh.
Also, do you remember these balancing hummingbird things? I found mine while I was cleaning out my room. Memories!
