I’m fairly certain that 85% of the people I know have come to accept that I have an unhealthy obsession with Girls, this small HBO show written, directed, and starring a talentless girl named Lena Dunham. Clearly, sarcasm. I’m pretty obsessed with Dunham’s work, her outlook, and what she has achieved by the age of 26. Also, she’s dating Jack Antonoff of Fun., which I think is pretty cute. (Did you see how excited she was when they won the Best New Artist award at the Grammy’s? I thought Frank Ocean should’ve taken it, but still, cute.) Anyway. Last season, I was absolutely captivated. The show was such an accurate [...]

Room

Various photos of my room over the past two to three years because I’ve noticed that I take many random, end of the roll types. Not a great deal to say about these. I occasionally put things I like on my wall, and the colours in my closet are decidedly neutral. Right now, it’s all black and cream.

A couple days ago, I found out someone I recently met and who I think is pretty cool hasn’t yet seen Garden State. It was a deal breaker. (Just kidding, Chesca.)

In a way, I suppose this is a “Throwback Thursday.” GARDEN STATE (2004) ***** A surreal, almost-profound story depicting life, this movie is a ride through New Jersey in the eyes of an overmedicated would-be actor. It is a mix of wildly eccentric characters – from a free-spirited local girl, to a millionaire living off the invention of silent Velcro. A [...]
An affinity for black

POLYVORE//HONOR FALL’11//UNKNOWN//AUTUMN DE WILDE FOR RODARTE//UO ’10//THE ROW ’07 My first Polyvore collage ever, accompanied by images of more pretty things, and the video from The Row that I’m still in love with six years later. Remember when Urban Outfitters did really beautiful catalogues? It’s like my style is perpetually at least two years behind.
Feminism, Part 1: Girly Girls
17/02/13 – 11:13 AM
Early last month, Slate posted an article entitled, “In Defense of Zooey Deschanel” after the actress was criticized for wanting to be a girly girl with feminist beliefs. In an interview with Glamour Magazine last month, she remarked, “I want to be a fucking feminist and wear a fucking Peter Pan collar.” Same here, Zooey, same here. The idea of being a girly girl has often been reduced to a sign of weakness. As someone who has an affinity for wearing skirts and dresses, this definitely resonates with me. This, essentially: “Here’s the thing about being a girlie girl. I think there was a generation before us that felt like [...]
