Pretty Stuff

This song is so pretty... and I love accordions in songs...

Iron & Wine - "Flightless Bird, American Mouth"

And I love peonies...

This dress looks like a peony...

and I love embroidery...

I think I've listed a lot of really lovely things so far.

I just had a really sweet day with my students, and they left me feeling all cute and mushy.

It also helps that the weather here feels like a lovely early September day in Toronto, the sun is so nice and the sky is so blue... leaves are still on the tress and birds are singing...

I'll leave it at that... I'm going to go read and then go to sleep, so goodnight to you all!

XOXO Andy

Forts, tunnels, and friends...

Missing My Wardrobe Back Home...

So, tonight there is this "Black & White Vintage" theme party,

and I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what to wear.

I mean, I am a new immigrant.

I came here with one suitcase half-filled with clothes, and

I actually DREAM about going home to Toronto and packing up my dong xi.

(Dong Xi means "things" in Chinese)

I'm useless and I can't think of any creative way to make myself look vintage because

my mind keeps returning to ripped black stockings and Doc Marten boots.

Anyhoo. Here's some whips 'n' chains themed stuff for you to enjoy on this pleasant Saturday:

Awolnation - "Sail"

Bordelle Lingerie...

Lindsay Lohan in Vogue Spain, 2009

Christian Lacroix

Gorgeous shoes found via killingheels.tumblr.com

Memory foggy on where these beaded tights come from...

I strongly dislike mosquitos...

A single mosquito kept me up all night, buzzed in my ear, and hid when I tried find it...

This following ~~message~~ propaganda was brought to you by the International Mosquito Alliance:

YAH EFFING RIGHT, MOSQUITO!!!

This morning at 8:30 am, after one meagre hour of sleep, I smushed it and had my vengeance.
The End.
I am now going to BED. Good Night!

but it made me want to work in a Disney theme park for a while)

Dior runway, early 2000's

Image of Raquel Reed... It's hard to find where this came from.
I think it was from MySpace a LONG time ago
and it was before I started noting my sources for things...
I know the Mickey Mouse helmet is by Jeremy Scott, the creator of many things wonderful...
