Somwhere else

Hello blogger world! Excuse my four day hiatus from you. Its not that I've been busy. (The last 6 months of my life have been the farthest thing from busy) My head has just been somewhere else for the last few days but not too far away... every day that went by that I didn't not blog my conscious would remind me of this New Post page. This is probably a good sign of my mind getting used to this new hobby. I still haven't heard back from that job I wanted which totally blows for too many reason... le sigh.
After a week or so of being away from fashion blogs I came back to realize that Vogue Nippon has THE BEST editorials.


Vogue Nippon May 2010
Alla Kostromicheva







I spent part of my day yesterday sitting on a dock starring at the sea. Thinking how big the ocean is, how there is a huge ecosystem in there. A wholeeeeee different world way bigger than ours. I started day dreaming of what it would be like if we could inhabit this place! My day dream looked sort of like this. This editorial is not only beautiful but so precise and detailed. Every article of clothing chosen, the hair, the make up, the lighting, the poses, they just make so much sense. We see a lot of underwater shoots but they hardly ever represent the beauty ocean. This one was done perfectly.

Lost Things of The Golden Days

The Golden Days by Balthus

This has become one of my favorite paintings. I've never looked at a painting and felt so drawn to it. It was more than the beauty and skill of the painter but what the painter could convey with just paint on a canvas. This might be my very first time 'getting' a painting. The fashion and glamour of it probably has a lot to do with it. This girl is confident, maybe even vain but she's a dreamer, and a romantic. She lies there, bored with the world but not with herself. She's not just admiring her beauty, although she is very aware of it, she's admiring her being and looking forward to something. Anything. She hears a knock on her door accompanied by the news that her suitor is there to see her. She's giddy but refined. Not having to hold anything back because she knows just how to act. They run through gardens. Play childish love games and she talks of things he doesn't understand but he would like to. When she judges her need to entertain and be entertained are satisfied she leaves him behind, hardly saying good bye, but still he will be back to see her again. She goes back to reclining without a care in the world.

This video is just as visually stimulating and inviting as the painting above. Ahh its so beautiful. The song is great just like all of A Fine Frenzy's songs. Enjoy :]
