I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.


 Currently watching the movie GI Jane as I write this post, and man...that is such an inspiring and kick-ass movie that I always feel really uplifted and that I can do anything after seeing it.

The title is from DH Lawrence's poem that was featured in the movie:)

Self-Pity

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

Muji sweater, UNIQLO pants, Birkenstocks

Channeling Katniss..bahahaa

It was such a beautiful day when this was taken that we were able to do some gardening!
Is there a movie that always inspires you?

PS To my Canuck friends, Happy Victoria Day!

I haven't seen that movie but I like that poem! And your cosy outfit :) it's good you are able to do some gardening! We got a big bunch of seeds as a gift with purchase style thing last year and we planted them all but with the bushfires a few plants died with the smoke, and then with the floods some of them drowned....ha! I'm not a good gardener but our investment has given us fresh basil to add to dinner a couple times, and a got a handful of kale for my salad last week..I think everything else has died out sadly! We kept some seeds aside, maybe I will have better luck next spring!

That is SUCH a great movie and I haven't seen it in so long. Now I want to try and watch it! Fingers crossed I can find it to watch. Also, I love that sweater. It is gorgeous. I'm glad you were able to spend some time outdoors and do a little gardening. That must have been nice! I hope you have a fabulous week :)

Such a good one that is! I need to watch something funny soon or a good drama this coming weekend. Thankfully, gardening is one thing that I've actually tackled during this whole quarantine, only because of cooking a lot, lol. Happy Victoria Day, Em! x

I think I saw GI Jane a really long time ago. I don't really remember it much but there has to be a good female empowerment message in there right :) We always find The Replacements to be a feel good movie. My husband has a thing for Keanu films LOL ;p

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
