treatise on elegant living

Photobucket


about a century ago, dead fleurette tagged me in a post about what we carry in our bags. i took this photo in the winter for my response and realized i never posted it! so heres my outdated post.

mini moleskin and my uvic pen, savon de marseille hand creme, ipod, pur peppermint gum, ysl envelope wallet, chelsea girl lipstick by nars, livre du moment (at that time ionesco, until this week steinbeck, at present balzac.. treatise on elegant living), and of course the object of an ultimate love-hate relationship, my phone. yes, my background is a celtics/raptors game. defying categorization never hurt anyone.

a while back i had picked up a postcard from a commercial gallery that had a photograph by joshua jensen-nagle on it. so when i read that beau-xi photo on dundas was showing his photographs i had to go. his works are fairly large and mounted on plexiglass, which is a fresh contrast to the dreamy treatment of european scenery. title is from the rolling stones play with fire.

comme les hommes

my inspiration for what to wear to a non-interview-but-still-important meeting with an intelligent and successful woman. sharp yet effortless, it is not overly 'fashion' but is relevant and quietly memorable. i thought so at least!

if you are not too long, i will wait here for you all my life

dear fate love moi. this quote from the picture of dorian gray is for those creative people who are waiting on the sidelines for their career break. if you keep trying, theres no chance it will never happen.
