and the moon lights you up like a spotlight






(vintage sweater and jacket, American Apparel satin shorts, Jeffrey Campbell x LF boots, Alexander Wang Diego bag)

Sunset/drinks/takeout/home. One of the more obvious successions of activities. Knits are sometimes best when nondescript...I feel like a photo of this one might show up in the dictionary under the sweater entry but I love it's wide boxy cut. I threw on this jacket at nightfall mostly cause it was lying around in Colin's car acquiring a slight rubber smell. Right after we picked up our order we looked up to the blue glow of this surreally exaggerated moon. He had me stand in front of it and I did so a little skeptically but he caught it with a steady hand.

Love the last pic but I could do without the "poetic" verbal vomit in your description. You honestly sound like a sixth grader learning to write creatively for the first time.

Wow, one of my favorites so far. I absolutely love the boxiness of the sweater, the very knittiness of it, the casually rolled up sleeves the simple yet cool shorts AND OH MY GOD THE THIGH HIGHS WHERE DID YOU GET THEM?
Would die for the bag as well. The moon shot is amazing. Your boyfriend is an amazing photographer!

Rumi! That last shot is so captivating!! So captivating that you make holding a plastic bag of takeout look uber chic, lol. Love the deep colors, love the depth of the image, love the mooooon!

The Nail Diary said...

Ah I love the vintage sweater and jacket!!

Maya said...

Hot. The tights give a hooker effect, but the eye is distracted from that by the perfectly demure top half of your outfit...very clever. And the red coat is a great complement. Red's really your color - I never really noticed before because you almost always wear neutrals...I'm pretty much the same way. But, yeah - red is great on you.

Tell Colin these pictures are particularly awesome - they're always good, but especially so this time. He keeps getting better and better.

Oh, and that one Anonymous poster is wrong about your writing being like "verbal vomit." WTF? Your writing is one of the primary reasons that yours is my favorite fashion blog - your intelligence comes through in the way you turn a phrase. Most other fashion bloggers I've looked into are lucky if they manage to crank out a sentence that's somewhat grammatically correct, let alone well-crafted like yours are. Keep doing what you're doing.
