Glitter Daiquiri: May 2014
http://www.glitterdaiquiri.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 18 May 2014. It's Three in the Morning and I'm Trying to Change Your Mind. I can't wrap my head around how quickly the year is going by. All my tests are still littered with crossed out 2013s! My refusal to get the hang of replacing the 3 with a 4 may be because I'm so terrified of Grade Twelve and matriculating and becoming a grown woman who can do whatever [she] wants. I finally bought into the hype that is Arctic Monkeys' AM. But, afhhgfhfghgfhfhfhfhghgghgh - AM. My jersey and dashiki-like T-s...

Glitter Daiquiri: June 2015
http://www.glitterdaiquiri.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 21 June 2015. You'd think this constant summer that's not summer would mean that Scandinavian brand of sadness would go away (you know, the unhappiness behind all our favourite Dutch/German paintings and shades of blue) but the not summer part intensifies it ten fold to a Saharan Sadness that won't go away. It's a lot if misplacement and not knowing how many jerseys to wear. The skies remain a cloudless, terrific shade of blue throughout all this. Top: still from The Virgin Suicides. Physical Edu...

Glitter Daiquiri: October 2014
http://www.glitterdaiquiri.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 18 October 2014. South African Fashion Week A/W 2015 - Day 3. A very, very deep poem about fashion week:. Last night I put flowers in my hair and pretended I was so punk rock,. My eyebrows were purple and my lips black,. Got dirty soap water all up in each and every loc,. A week of bad luck and it's hurting my back. Links to this post. Friday, 17 October 2014. South African Fashion Week A/W 2015 - Day 2. I blamed the bad mojo on my over-enthusiasm and lack of foresight so this year I had deep.

velvet girl: July 2014
http://velveteenstyle.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2014. I wish i had a boyfriend, i wish i had a pizza and a bottle of wine. Back from my ramadan hiatus). You might have noticed a trend in my outfit photos in which i crop out my feet in most of them because i'm running a serious defecit in the market of cool footwear (that was me trying to prove that economics lessons had a real impact on my life). but i put together a wishlist of shoes that make me feel v elijah wood as an animated penguin. Clockwise from top right). These are like c...

Saturday, June 27, 2015. The mice have gnawed at it, and sharper teeth than teeth of mice have gnawed at me. I read great expectations. The book first describes her as dressed in rich "satins, and lace, and silks" that that were once white but have now become "faded and yellow," like the flowers in her hair and on her gaunt skin; the most fascinating character visually and in my opinion the most complex character in the entire book.(please email me if u want to talk about her! Commes des garcons (fw05).

velvet girl: vfiles as the future of fashion
http://velveteenstyle.blogspot.com/2015/08/vfiles-as-future-of-fashion.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. Vfiles as the future of fashion. Lately I've been spending a lot of time on the VFiles website. In a time when a lot of people are mourning the "death of fashion journalism and blogging" as interest declines, VFiles feels like the next frontier. The social media site/archive is a fresh perspective, a new method of sharing ideas that's dedicated to re-energizing the industry. All of their shows are available in the VFiles TV section and on their Youtube. The founder of VFiles desc...

Sunday, May 24, 2015. I'M A GROWN WOMAN (I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT). But i am officially 14! Every year i realize that growing older is pretty much a scam, i never feel. Any different; this time i almost forgot it was even my birthday because i was so stressed out by other things. but then each year i convince myself that it will be different the next time: i'll be 15, i'll be a freshman in high school, 16: i get to drive, 17: dancing queen! I'm cool AND i can dance? Is super old, idk. I wore my dad's.

velvet girl: August 2014
http://velveteenstyle.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 28, 2014. I woke up like this. I wanted to do a post about the aw14 couture stuff and i noticed something really big which i'm gonna refer to as the "silk nightie all nightie" (because i'm bad at naming things) and it's basically an. Image of a great-gatsby type of complete luxury with a 20s socialite rolling out of bed and descending like, a grand spiral staircase in a floor length silk nightgown and this giant fur coat;.

velvet girl: ain't no rest for the wicked
http://velveteenstyle.blogspot.com/2015/08/aint-no-rest-for-wicked.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Ain't no rest for the wicked. A garish confrontation between the corporate and creative london is the inspiration behind claire barrow's aw15 collection. silky pieces screen-printed pieces with the designer's notes and scribbles, and gelled hair dance in the wind of office fans placed next to each model. these fans create an artificial outdoor experience in the grey-carpeted office space. Thanks 2 everyone who stuck through my 3 week hiatus while i was at a hippie summer camp whe...
