Wearing this jacket with a mask makes me feel like Lisbeth from Girl With A Dragon Tattoo (minus the hacking skills and other talents) and I'm here for it! :D
It's been raining like crazy where I am, which is good I guess considering how hot it has been lately.
Tommy Hilfiger jacket, old dress I sewed, Adidas sneakers
I love that! And the mask is seriously fantastic. What a cute print! I'm also feeling grateful for the rain because the heat has just been so intense lately! I hope you have a fantastic week. the creation of beauty is art.
I love the darker kind of look this creates then I scrolled to the end and saw ti was a betty boop mask - good way to make something cute and fun a bit darker! I like the feel of these pics! :)
Masks have been recommended (although not required) by one of our grocery store chains here after some stupid ladies brought the virus with them from another state with an outbreak and lied about where they had been to avoid quarantine. And then continued to go out and see people and visit places even after they got tested....hopefully it continues to be a low number of cases they introduce here, it's at 5 right now. that's more than we have had outside of mandatory quarantine for returning travellers in months though! But it means I wore a mask to the supermarket last week - it's a strange feeling but I'm happy to do it to keep myself and others safe!
Yeah I get where you're going but I don't find you sinister at all just because I know what a sweetheart you are <3 Loving the outfits and how the mask contrasts with your cool pastel hair! The rain is coming for us tomorrow.
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?
I've been having a hard time getting motivated to post anything at all these days. I've deleted X on my phone, and am on Bluesky now, but even then, I don't really post much there. (I've stopped posting on Instagram and Facebook years ago, and don't have a TikTok/) Even having a hard time posting consistently on my Art YouTube channel. I do have a small Catholic YouTube channel, and another small "fish" channel (and I use that term lightly coz I mostly post random stuff about our shubunkin goldfishes), but even then, these days, I just want to go "off the grid" :( That is all.
Shannon, from The Creation of Beauty Is Art , is not only an awesome beauty blogger, she is also kind enough to nominate me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you, Shannon:) Here are the questions she posted for us to answer. What is the last great book you read? The last great book I read was 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Do you have an all time favourite lipstick shade? My fave lipstick shade of all-time is Bite Beauty's Chai. If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and what would you say to them? If I could meet one celeb, it would be...hmmmm....probably Barack Obama. Does he count? I just wanna thank him for being such an inspiration, and maybe convince him to come back:P I'm Canadian, but I care about US politics too. What blog post of yours are you most proud of? The blog post I'm most proud of is probably this one :D Do you prefer shopping at Sephora, MAC, or the drugstore? Why? I prefer shopping...
