October Blues

I made a small list of a few random things that make my mind pump positive emotions into my synapses at the moment (there's been a flock of negative surprises too, but I always feel like concentrating on the good ones). 

♥ A black, detachable lace collar my mom twiddled especially for me. Detachable collars have been all around for a couple of years now so I'm preeet-ty late, but who cares. I'm usually never synchronized with the frequently changing tides of fashion, whatever moves you is the best way to dress up! (Curls are a current favorite too.)

♥  The collected poems of Sylvia Plath. This book feeds my inspiration so much that you can't but a price on it, I'm glued to these verses at the moment. My favorite one right at this second is Lady Lazarus, but favorites vary all the time along with my moods. Her words are so powerful, just look at these last verses of Lady Lazarus:

"...Ash, ash---

You poke and stir.

Flesh, bone, there is nothing there---

A cake of soap,

A wedding ring,

A gold filling.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer

Beware

Beware.

Out of the ash

I rise with my red hair

And I eat men like air."

♥ Tea flowers that my sister brought me from her journey to Istanbul. These babies bloom under boiling water, and the result is enchanting! Although this photographed one didn't work out that well, but you can well imagine how it would look at it's best.

♥ New black pumps from Bianco's sale basket. As if I didn't enough of black mary jane shoes, but they're pretty gorgeous killers! They're the last pair in a long while since I have some serious saving holes coming up, and I'd rather let go of all excess consuming anyway. As much as I love pretty things, I really don't need so much.

♥ Soy milk and blueberries! This treat reminds me of childhood summers.

♥ New decorative frames. A woman obsessed with curly frames can never have too many, though my spouse strongly disagrees with this. :D If only you could see our apartment in full view, I really should stop dragging these home from flea markets, antique shops and decor boutiques..

♥ Beauty and the Beast pop-up book! And the Alice in Wonderland version is still arriving in the mail, but I'll show it as it arrives in case you're interested. Thanks for this purchase goes to a kind reader, thank you so much for telling me about these editions! These will help me a great deal in certain parts of my thesis. :)

♥ My birthday is today!  I wish this year would bring me an ounce of more courage, a pinch of self-discipline concerning even the tedious paperwork so that I wouldn't  get into so much trouble in that area, and a trip to somewhere I've never been in in a land far, far away. Or not so far away, I just need a new adventure in my life. 

Today I've just been pampering myself for the occasion. :) I wish you all a wonderful evening!
