The palette the plate the playing on polyvore

It’s been a whole week of vacation and I posted nothing-no apologies. Because I don’t care that much.(and neither do you, for that matter)


I’m usually a “color color kill me if you have no color” person, but recently experienced short erratic weeks of minimal, monochromatic-ness. Though I’ve always been a fan of long lengths and avante garde, I never truly felt I could possibly subside on neutrals only.

To satiate my thirst, I have created Two wishlists-one for when I feel minimal and one for when I feel maximal. Like my sister Christina, I have a special fondness for the colorful bright prints of Dries Van Noten , and so around 60% of my maximal (no I did make that up-I used my less than $200 graphing calculator to calculate :D) wishlist is comprised of it.

Pink Miu Miu dress, DVN cropped blue jacket, Marc Jacobs teal floral skirt, Stella McCartney awesome dead grass skirt (yes I'm making the names up), DVN print trousers, DVN print gathered waist skirt (no that is it's brownsfashion.com name!), Miu Miu sparrow print pumps, Tom Binns red necklace, Juicy Couture blue pansy ring (don't kill me! I don't love it enough to die for it!) Oil Silk cuff bracelet ahh enough it's just random pretty jewelry.http://www.polyvore.com/pigmented_spring/set?id=17997762 It's all there. . .

The minimal wishlist is pretty much all black and white. Last year this time, I had a problem with maxi dresses and the omniscent floral hemmed edges and bohemian style. But I really love the avante garde plain, simple, feel of dark plain dresses. It’s not really realistic that I’d layer up on those DVN prints in the hot hot summer anyway.

Penumbra black maxi dress, Alexander Wang white tank, Topshop beaded crop top, Deborah Marquit lace bra, Junya Wantanabe cotton harem pants, Camilla Skovgaard open toe killer sandals, Modcloth close toe pump ($35!!) Mcqueen, Kate Spade, and Svpply baubles.http://www.polyvore.com/minimalistic_spring/set?id=17997368

And the inspiration was Camille, awesome girl she is!

Irrelevance: My Earnest Sewn (what kind of grammar is that?!) wax jeans came. . .and okay they fit but it’s not exactly the greatest kind of fit. And seriously what is this whole wax thing? I’m sticking to chairs. . . I’ll keep them though, considering they were pretty much free. And with the leftovers on my plastic card of $$, I purchased bright yellow tights, which should arrive soon.

I have another plastic card coming in to me in a couple weeks. I figure that I’m going to school next year, and that while immersed in academics, it’s a good idea to be COMFORTABLE, so I figure that I might hit upon some PRACTICAL pantswear- what do you think, high rise Earnest Sewns that might be unflattering or comfy Delias corduroys that might earn the disapproval of my sister pretty hot people and some organ within me? And yes I care what others think-it's what creates me. (Quite a philosphical conclusion)

The Dalai Lama likes Doc Martens. SCORE!

Good luck on your physics test from last friday before vacation, because you were sitting in the MFA looking up at the ceiling with the art class, Catherine!

From outer space

Hi. These are images of life, non life, and perhaps life.

We had a brief unit of atomic chemistry in physics the past few weeks. Apparentment, atoms are made up of basically space, matter is basically space, and the world that one time I fell in love with is basically empty space.

Them amazingly constructed geniusly encrusted Armadillo shoes are a chunk of solid space.

The geniuses who create my objects of adoration are space.

My ice cream is empty space. So am I.

The atoms in your body are not yours. They come from the poop of Adolf Hitler and the black dresses of Coco Chanel. You do not own your atoms, you are only their present caretaker. Truth.

Atoms are composed of a nucleus of neutrons and protons, with teeny tiny negatively charged electrons floating around it. Atoms are mostly empty space. You are mostly empty space, and that empty space doesn’t even belong to you. Because you are empty space.

Studying for this science test is depressing. Science is depressing. Science brings enlightenment to us. It makes us realize how little we mean to the universe, how insignificant our thoughts really are. It’s a systematic and logical study of the truth, of the ugly, naked, simple truth. Those who are willing to understand the sciences are brave and selfless.

And then there’s the other world of literature, philosophy, and the arts. Writers and thinkers create elaborate, beautiful, intricate explanations that are false fantasies. The words that are used to describe Those amazing awesome Armadillos that Mcqueen created, and they way they compelled you? Wait you’re not even anything, and those Armadillos are just bonds of molecules. . . that result into a shape that will later compose the pacifier that your baby puts in his mouth.

And every piece. Every piece of genius is nothing but a chunk of empty space. That is the truth.

But If you truly, truly think about it, is it not marvelous that something so beautiful, epic, and ethereal and insert more multi syllable adjectives to get my point across can be created from something as symbol and lame (xD) as space and hydrogen bonds or what the crap. That beauty and awesomeness (way to go with clever descriptions) can be created from naked, ugly truths.
