CHRISTOPH HONORE

I just want to stay in bed all day and watch these over and over and over. (emo.com)


"I don't know what's happening. I don't trust myself when I'm in love. I get nervous and say the wrong things or I start examining, evaluating, calculating what I say.

I say "Think it will rain?" She responds, "I don't know." Then I wonder if she's even interested. It all scares me to death. Yes, scared to death.

A friend once told me having a fuck buddy is better than falling in love. I think he's right. Rain makes flowers grow and snails happy. That's a fact.

But if a girl loves me she starts acting strangely, like asking me funny questions and pouting when I snap at her or saying things like "Think it will rain?" and I say "I have no idea" and she says "Oh" and gets all sad looking up at the California-blue sky.

That makes me thank God it's you, darling. This time it's your turn."









Someone wanna come to Paris with me?

Next summer my Mum has told me I can pick a European city for us to spend a week in. We'll visit the museums, walk around and take in the architecture, eat out every day and night... and shop. Most importantly shop.

So far Paris is a MAJOR contendor.
As is Venice, Vienna, Budapest, Barcelona and Rome. Again.

Any other suggestions?

OH HAI

MY NAME IS GLUMSKI and I hate having my photo taken.

Hence the reason why there are never really any photos of me on here. That and the fact my shitty digital camera packed in last week. Hmm...

However, I've been thinking about it, and the blogs I tend to read most often and enjoy are ones where I feel like I know more about the blogger - pictures of them in self-styled outfits and stuff. Makes me relate to what they're saying more I guess.

So I'm going to try and take more photos of myself and maybe post a few from time to time. What do you think? Do you think it makes for a better blogging experience if you have a better sense of the person? Cos there are some amazing anonymous blogs out there too...

Hmm...

HELLO HERMIONE

There's been so much hype about Emma Watson's new haircut recently, which I am still very much on the fence about by the way, BUT instead of just reposting photos of her gamine crop I thought I'd share some of my favourite shots of her from Crash magazine taken last March.

I remember seeing these last year and it was the first time I'd ever seen her looking so couture and chic. Although her hair's still long here, you can't really tell. Wonder if this is where she got the inspiration for her new do?

Anyway, enjoy:

ITCOW

In The Company of Wolves at the Sub Club in Glasgow tomorrow:

Channelling Twin Peaks, which I revisited again this summer - just series 1 and Fire Walk With Me though, series 2 for Xmas please?? - 1930s German expressionist films and all things Lynchian.

Can't wait, but what to wearrrrrr!?

PS, new purchases:

Chunky-knit scarf because brrrrrr it's freaking cold here in Glasgow and Boy London tshirt, both from Urban Outfitters. UMMMMM also WTF is with the model in this second pic? She looks like a zombie? Free-kee.

Vintage 90s BCBG velvet dress from The Vintage Youth on Etsy. Couldn't help it. Literally could NOT help it.

ETSY SPOTLIGHT

GwenDelicious on Etsy makes rings and necklaces out of, amongst other things, vintage typewriter keys and brass letterpress fittings. How cool is THAT!

These are the pieces on my wishlist for Christmas.

Various typewriter key pendants

Vintage freemasons pendant.

Hand-painted bumblebee necklace

Letter K brass letterpress from vintage typewriter

SHIFT typewriter key ring

Cross penknife necklace.

See ya, wages!

Also, I'm considering making this a regular feature since I adore Etsy for random vintage and handmade things, and I love trawling it for hours 'favouriting' the best of the best. Would this sort of feature be something you'd like to see say once a week or so? Come on, handful of followers, speak up!

Maybe my Etsy obsession is a little out of control. Lemme know, ken?

CORPSE BRIDE

It's really dark, rainy and gloomy outside. There's a definite spooky atmosphere in the air somehow...

Makes me wish I had a Ouija board or something...

WEDNESDAY'S CHILD IS FULL OF WOE

Hi, I'm Amanda Buckman. Why are you dressed like that?

Like what?

Like you're going to a funeral. Why are you dressed like somebody died?

Wait...

From Dawn Sharp's Etsy shop.

DANS PARIS

I subtitled this for work and haven't seen it since, but I'd kill to watch it right now. Potential next dvd purchase. Stunning film - Youtube the trailer... Trust me.

..The end of a love affair, but not of love...




Did you know my darling
The most brilliant loves tarnish
The day’s dirty sun in the day
Subjects them to torment

I have an irrefutable idea
To avoid the unbearable

Before the hatred, before the blows
Of hissing or lashing
Before the sorrow and the disgust
Let’s break up now, please

No, I kiss you and it passes
You can see
You can’t brush me off like that

You thought you’d be able to
By leaving me hanging
From the mighty love which must die
But you see I prefer
The inescapable storms
To your measly idea

Before the hatred, before the blows
Of hissing or lashing
Before the sorrow and the disgust
Let’s break up now, you say

But you kiss me and it passes
I can see
You’re not brushed off like that

I can’t avoid you at the worst

But the best is yet to come

Before the hatred, before the blows
Of hissing or lashing
Before the sorrow and the disgust
Let's break up now, please

No, I kiss you and it passes
You can see
You can't brush me off like that

You're not brushed off like that

LANVIN LOVES H&M

Lookbook pics from the Lanvin collaboration with H&M available from 23rd Nov.

Can't really make up my mind about this - favourite look I think is the red dress/pink necklace combo but not sure about the rest. Maybe it's cos I just don't like Irina Lazareanu...

Thoughts?

MOSSY

So, the long-awaited release of Kate Moss' final collection for Topshop finally landed today. After her last few collections I was expecting a bit of a mixed bag from the Moss-meister, and yes, that's exactly what we got.




Firstly, The Good:

The iconic panther dress - can anyone remember what season this is from? Pretty damn hot, if you are a flat-chested leggy model of course!

The limited edition embellished dress. Love this. Possibly my favourite from the collection. I can practically feel how heavy it would be to wear and how deliciously it would hang. Nice one.

The limited edition glitter velvet playsuit. Very in keeping with Mossy's whole sexy boudoir vibe and I love the tie waist and deep v-neck. Casually elegant, this could be a contender for this year's Christmas Party Dress.

The limited edition beaded playsuit. Firstly, dusky pink is NOT my colour at all, but I had to include this rival contender for CPD. Reminds me of Clemence Posey's character in Gossip Girl. Exquisite - nuff said.

The limited edition crochet-lace hem hippy dress. Catchy! This is another one I would be unlikely to actually wear, but I couldn't overlook it. Just gorgeous, especially the peter-pan collar and sleeves. Actually, I maybe would wear this with gothic jewellery, killer heels and maybe a dark plum lip... hmm...

The limited edition paisley-print poncho. Only 100 made of these beauties and they are all GONE online. I shudder to think how much they'll be going for on eBay! Everything about this is right. Want!


Next, the Not So Good:

The oriental slip. Generic and overpriced at £55. This is literally all I could muster up to say about this - never a good sign.

The scallop-detail leather jacket. Just... Wrong! Buttons? Broderie? Cropped? No thanks.

The rib panel jumper dress. I know the same could be said for any of these pieces, but this more than the others could literally be from anywhere. Moss, are you having a giraffe?

The limited edition diamonte shift dress. Blah. Boring. Snore.

The iconic heavy beaded dress. Didn't like this the first time, like it even less this time. Looks cheap and tacky somehow?

The slash panel swing dress. OK, I'm literally asleep.

Like I say, a right mixed bag. I was really excited about the "iconic" pieces but got to be honest - most let down by them. There were so many other amazing things to bring back - like the faux-fur coat from a few seasons ago - remember the one? I thought I'd recognise more but the only ones that stood out were the red pansy-print wrap dress and the sequined number above (not for the right reasons either).

I guess the penultimate collection from Moss has followed suit with the others - a couple of stand out gems amongst the rest -generally over-priced and bland.

Thoughts, lovelies?
