I do think it’s safe to say that I write more than the average blogger; yes, people are more inclined to re-visit those of pictorial aesthetics over those with paragraphs of words, but I am quite alright with that. I like to write, I like to go on tangents, and I do like the dainty tip-tapping of my keyboard whenever I spew out posts like this and this. It’s rewarding on my end, and hopefully for yours too. Regardless, it is my blog (ha-ha!), and I feel an obligation to write paragraphs worth of w o r d s . “Brevity is the essence of lingerie,” said Dorothy Parker. Since I am not of that category, brevity, in turn, is not of my essence.
But to give your tired eyes a break, I’ve included two images below for your viewing pleasure. Seen everywhere, and now here too; I typically avoid redundancy, but simply could not resist. Take a good look at those Miu Miu clunkers of Spring/Summer 2010. So wrong, but so right. Childishly girlish, but sophisticated at the same time. It possesses all the qualities that would have been tacky, yet somehow, by some miracle (or genius?) chance, Ms. Prada had it all right.
I do plan on owning wearing these this summer. With little bandage minis and a semi-sheer, loose button-up tucked haphazardly in.

I use to write long paragraphs in school [history/political science majoy], and my english professor defined my writing as “freighting”… because I write freighting sentences. Freighting sentences are basically one lonnnnnngg sentence, separated by commas. I’ve since learned to tone it down a bit in writing for law school but they still pop up every so often in blogs =)
You write very well, and i enjoy reading it, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Love those shoes!
Currently loving: blogging, thigh-high socks, nineties fashion (particularly inspired by Clueless), florals, Mary Janes and t-straps, Sugarlips tank tops, HerCampus.com, infinitewhimsy.blogspot.com, the movie An Education, Montreal (and McGill), Nutella and strawberry crêpes with my dad. 🙂

what you wrote really stroke a cord with me. blogging is like everything else, some people doing it because it’s a trend, some poeple do it because they love it; some people love to post pictures and some love to write – however, some do no do what they feel because it’s not what other do, and some, as yourself, do what you like, hence it becomes an extension of who you are!!!
keep on writing – i love to read things that provoke my mind, xx
daisychain says
I never know what to write in posts, however I far prefer having something to read in a blog; something to go alongside the pictures, no matter how pretty. Hence why I find myself returning to yours over and over. Your insightfulness and way with words is fantastic x

That’s the exact silhouette I’ve been craving in shoes lately, except the pair I have my eye on is by Chie Mihara.

Though more and more humans do not read (as much as before) anymore, I love to read and I also like the way, the style you write, which means I appreciate your long texts 🙂
I hope you get the chance to wear this collection, it is cute and lovely.
