SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

 Movies/shows I've just seen or currently watching that I'e been loving:) all images from imdb.com 1) Tenet I've always been a big Christopher Nolan fan, and was so happy to have finally been able to watch it. It would've been nice to see it in the theatre, but oh well... Just an awesome movie dealing with time travel, and well, Robert Pattinson:D 2)Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood My two teenaged boys have been telling me to watch this for forever, and finally did, and man....what a great animé! Great plot, and well-paced (although it was over 60 episodes so it did take me awhile...lolz) 3) Alice in Borderland Binge-watched this Netflix series, you guys!!!! Another show I loved loved loved. A bit gory in some scenes, but such great characters, played by the perfect cast. A cross between Battle Royale and Alice in Wonderland (obviously:)) Can't wait for season 2! 4) Sweet Home Another Netflix show...Korean horror. Another show that had a great cast, and also made me ...

 Definitely a different experience this year. Although my in-laws are technically a part of our circle, Toronto can't have any private indoor gathering, so we dropped by their house to greet each other, pick up our red pockets, and...well, that's about it. No eating together or anything like that. Hopefully, next year, things will be back to normal. (Honestly, though, we are so used to it by now, so no biggie.) And took some random pics in our church parking lot during the weekend. LOLZ. Seriously though... we are lucky that our church  (and parish priest )is able to hold masses for 8 people at a time (booked by appointment) and thank the Lord we've been able to go the past few weeks.  How was your Valentine's Day? And did you celebrate the Lunar New Year?

 I've been obsessing lately over fashion illustration lately, in particular the work of Anna Kiper.  Anna Kiper's awesome book Fashion Illustration I've had her book since 2018, and even did a flip through of it on my YouTube channel. Lately, though, her work has been an obsession, you guys. You can see for yourself why I love it soooo much. One of my fave pages. Anna Kiper's work is just sublime. She really is such an inspiration. Here is a page from my art journal page, with a drawing I did inspired by her. (PS Sorry for the slightly blurry photos. They looked fine on my phone...sigh....) What are you obsessing over lately?

 I usually don't talk about politics too much here on my blog (I reserve that for my Twitter account...LOLZ), but January 20th was such a special day in US history that even though I'm Canadian, I was deeply moved by the Inauguration Day ceremony. The Inauguration poet laureate Amanda Gorman and her poem The Hill We Climb was so powerful and inspiration that I thought I'd share it here. When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade We've braved the belly of the beast We've learned that quiet isn't always peace And the norms and notions of what just is Isn't always just-ice And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it Somehow we do it Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished We the successors of a country and a time Where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to ...

 So...since we are back in lockdown and stay-at-home order until Feb 10, I thought I'd share some of the stuff keeping me busy:) 1) Going out for walks 2) Knitting a blanket for one of my sisters 3) If you guys follow me on Twitter, you know I am currently in the middle of folding 1000 paper cranes (called senbazuru) Here is a video of me folding one:) 4) Art journalling Here is a flip through of my very first complete art journal:) 5) Watching TV shows and movies, and here are my faves:) Soul (Disney +) Probably one of my all-time fave Pixar movies. This is such an amazing movie, you guys! Highly recommend:) WandaVision Since I didn't really read any spoilers, I was quite confused watching the first two episodes, but man....Elizabeth Olsen was awesome. Bridgerton A cross between Pride and Prejudice and 50 Shades:) A fluffy and oh-so-juicy watch:D What have you guys been up to lately? Do tell!

 Going out for a walk around the neighbourhood (or doing some essentials shopping) is the only reason I get out of house clothes now, so I try to go out and do it daily:) UNIQLO coat, sweater from F21, jeans from Urban Outfitters, Timberland boots My "photographer" while scootering:D How are you guys doing wherever you are? Is it back to normal? Are you still in lockdown?
