Nail That Simple British Countryside Look

March 26, 2021

Welcome Spring, again. In my heart and in my soul. No, I haven’t ditched the black just yet, but I do love my thrifted green parka jacket so I decided, since we are in a perpetual quarantine, to spend a rather warm day getting all dolled up near the woods where I live. It’s still an early Spring, not much new leafage to prance around in, though.

This look is what I call “a British going to the countryside” look. I’m not comfortable in wool blazers, so my parka, which has traveled with me quite a bit in the English countryside, will do. Continue Reading…

It’s been exactly one year now since this pandemic started. I’m celebrating in black and a pop of color. A pop of color symbolising hope. Hope that I get to travel again, that I get to live my life outside of home. What immense effects this past year will have on us only time will tell.

No boots, just the favorite heels of the year. In black.  In leather. Continue Reading…

Bugs

You know me, I never do Valentine’s in red. Black is what I adore, prefer, serve it on a plate daily, and lately, what I let embrace me. Just like love. I let it devour me. Completely. LOVE… just a word really. Nothing compares to what it does to you.

I live for romantic love and it has taken me twenty years to realize it.  I had it, searched for it and craved it since I was 14. I need deep, passionate, “can’t live without each other” kind of love.  What you desire is what you attract. I had sleepless nights, restless nights, “come with me in the middle of the night and let’s get lost” kind of love. I climbed rooftops, went to new places, it’s the only thing I did not hide from.
