Bphone

Beyonce Knowles just came out with a new phone. Well, it's just a red take on the well known Samsung F500, the "Two-Sided Phone". The only difference between the black original and this is the color and the word "Beyonce" engraved up top. Although I'd prefer a Joss Stone fone, her being my diva of choice, you have to admit this is one neat phone (visually). Homegirl got style.

Graphic T's

Graphic T's nowadays are basically like, take a regular sized tee, give it an original backdroup colour, and put something cute/funny on the front. Makes for a really bland formula, but whoever makes them really spices it up and is not afraid to experiment. From fredflare and Acid Love.

Crafty Couture

I love Crafty Couture. Their whimsical designs just make me feel so happy that stuff like this still exists among all the dreary beige and black "chemises" in sizes XL and XXL. Anything that comes off fun & silly should definitely be everyday-wear. If i had my own line, I'd incorporate some of these styles (but not exactly the same of course) in there too. Just enjoy the slideshow.

On Tea Cosies

Such strange things, those tea cosies! To clothe one's kitchen utensils in similar fashions as those of garments, such as knit sweaters, hats, mittens, etc. And why would anyone want to warm their tea kettles? I find them hot enough when the water's boiled. People are oft tempted to wear them on their heads. If that is the case, then one can possibly give it to their bald uncle as a toupee alternative. Speaking of cosies, that reminds me of Snatch when Vinny and Sol put a cozy on Benicio Del Toro's head after he is shot by Boris the Blade.

Bad Boy Lincoln: What has he got a tea cozy on his head for?
Sol: [sarcastic] To keep his head warm.
Bad Boy Lincoln: Well, what's the matter with him?
Vinny: He's been shot in the face, Lincoln. I would've thought that was obvious.

New Look Unveils New Summer Dresses

Read this post while listening to Kylie's I Should Be So Lucky (considering it's a very contageous song.)

I absolutely adore New Look for their symplistic but always sunny and fun clothing (like my Spongebob "I Ripped My Pants!" tee), and it's great they're doing something affordable and really funky for this summer. These would be great worn in your summer cottage/villa, while playing a round of rummy poker with friends and enjoying cooled watermelon.

We apologize for delays in posts but there is some major refurbishing and reconstruction work being done with the blog. We will be with you shortly.

Schools Are Prisons

Another hot accessory that I just love are these silver leggings by Primark (who happen to be making their debut on London's Oxford Street shops). They could go with a lot of things, but I'll just pick a certain look.


Leggings: Primark, £6; skirt: Radcliffe, £95; Tee: H&M, £10; Bag: Fendi, £ 740; Trainers: Puma, £115.

Hullaballoo

Here are some of my expertly tips on working a look.

First, take a beautiful jersey such as this one, Marc by Marc Jacobs.

To accesorize, pair it with a bold pendant, again from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

You will need some earrings to go with that, too, but it should be something soft, an understatement. Try some studs, preferably in silver or gray, sparkly or pearl shine.

Of course you'll want a bracelet to go with everything, too, so why not add a dash of gold with Sea Life Bracelet from Topshop? I adore Topshop.

Then on the bottom you can wear hot khaki capris from Petro Zillia, one of the key parts of the look.

To finish it off, of course, you will need some shoes. Now, this is where the outfit may vary, according to your style/height/weight/preferred underwear colour. I happen to be quite tall so I stick with pumps, but heels may be the best thing for you. Just remember, whatever fits best, and, of course, makes you feel like a queen.

Here I have Metallic Beetle Pumps by French Connection.

Hope you liked it! No, scratch that, I don't give a bulldog what you think about it. J'adore it.

Tell The Time Through Yellow-Tinted Watches

Less words is better than more words. So better zip your mouth and keep it that way. The only thing constant in my world is the center, everything else changing as it undulates. Even names and accents are prone to change from time to time, as if their former selves seem rather banausic. As if someone played a requiem for my dreams. I frequently frequent the Thesaurus Boutique, it's useful and oh so priceless so.

A Seriously Good Idea

Here's to hoping that Jo Rowling and her associates stumble upon this page.

Walt Disney channeled his characters' success by building Disneyland, where all the people who held Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and every Disney movie character close to their hearts could have a truly magical experience. I think J. K. Rowling should do the same. Build a wizarding world entirely based on the harry potter books.

Granted it will take lots of planning, hard work, and years to build and finish, the end result and its popularity may well succeed that of Disneyland today. Taking some cues from Disney, once again, I have formed a little image in my mind that I would like to share. Now, to get to this magical wizarding community, you would have to take a train at King's Cross (this would of course be assuming it would be built in England), maybe a "9 and 3/4" special train or something like that. For added effect, it could be bright red, and a lady could push a trolley up and down selling pumpkin juice and all the hogwarts delicacies.

Hogwarts, of course, would be in the very heart of this wizarding community. It should serve as a hotel for all the guests who are staying overnight, complete with all of its decorations, portraits, halls, towers, and dungeons, and its ghosts. The main dining hall of hogwarts should serve as a restaurant, and should include the enchanted ceiling (I'm not so sure how this would be done though), with a buffet-style menu and waiters dressed as house elves. All of Hogwarts's proffessors should be roamin the halls, taking pictures with guests, signing autographs etc (maybe this is a bit too disney-ish, and should be left out).

Outside of Hogwarts, within walking distance, there will be a Hogsmeade and a Diagon Alley. All of the shops (Ollivanders, Honeydukes, Flourish & Blotts, Madam Malkins, The Post Office, etc.) and restaurants (Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, The Hog's Head, The Three Broomsticks) should be created to match their book descriptions exactly, with The Leaky Cauldron at the entrance to Diagon Alley. The Leaky Cauldron could be another, slightly cheaper alternative to Hogwarts for overnight guests. Diagon Alley would of course include Knockturn Alley, a more darkened, separate place (18 and + only?). Now for attractions. There could be a Gringotts ride of sorts (visiting the vaults in a cart). The Shrieking Shack in hogsmeade can be a haunted ride (think disney's Haunted Mansion), and so can the Forbidden Forest...maybe it can turn into a night-time place for adults (think Disney Village, that opens after hours). Maybe play around with this idea, and have an Aragog Bar, with drinks, for adults of course. The Whomping Willow could be made into a roller-coaster, weaving from one branch into another going in a cart fast or something like that.

The lake can be an actual large body of water, where there can be boat rides going back and forth to hogwarts, and it can contain exotic fish and things. There can also be carriage rides around hogwarts and the rest of the places, driven by thestral-looking horses. Similar to Disney's Pirates of the Carribean, Peter Pan, and Snow White rides, something like this could be incorporated into the Dursley's Privet Drive house, a ride around and through the house dispaying all the mischief harry caused there (blowing up his aunt, escaping through the window by the flying car, dobby, etc), and can have realistic figurines moving around, popping up , etc (especially with dobby). The Quidditch field could hold real quidditch matches where the audience would watch from the stands (although I am not sure how they would get 14 flying witches/wizards on broomsticks in the air...maybe hologram projection?). Of course, there will be souvenir/gift shops abound, with all the books on sale and things like that...

A Blue Butterfly Butters my Blue-Bottle Flies

True reading is an art form of sorts. Its very much like painting. Anyone can take a brush and smear it across oil canvas, but talent is needed to truly distinguish what a writer is saying in his words. Just as much as talent is needed to come up with something like this:




I'll admit that I drew this (during a very therapeutic conversation with a friend), but that is not really the point I am trying to make. The point I am trying to make is, that reading on the actual level of pre-assumed knowledge expected by the writer and reading on the everyday "where did i leave my tea?" level are two very different things (and often one has to re-read sentences several times to find its real meaning as well as aesthetic beauty). And I am one very tired sixteen year old. Good night.



I call this piece Therapy.
