A Candy Cute Brilliant Saturday Outfit


happy saturday:)

i am to give up getting my victorian advent calendar...i thought harvey nichols or harrods would do the trick but not only was that a no, the whole world decide to go to these 2 stores today!! never again a weekend or close to christmas in any of those places. thank goodness i had a peaceful morning in the woods, sort anyways since there is a lot of killing one another in games of thrones:))) now is to go back home to dulwich and devour franklins while planning the week to arrive and the rest of my life;0)! tomorrow is a victorian toy shop. see you monday!

water does not resist. water flows. when you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is caress. water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. but water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. water is patient. dripping water wears away a stone. remember that, my child. remember you are half water. if you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. water does.

i had so many errands to do today in central london, for once i can say that i did all i had planned:) plus so many additional things entered my life while just walking from place to place. somerset house was one of those wonderful things that happened. also, for some reason i for once looked at all the beautiful architecture that london has to offer. victorian! i adore love devour anything victorian. one mission today was to find a beautiful advent victorian calendar which i thought i was to find at liberty but no, the beautiful one they had last year was not created for this christmas:((( i have no idea where to find as equal a beautiful one now!!!??? i did get my ballet tights & i think i know now what scanner i am to buy! and what cable release for my polaroid:) i can recommend somerset house:) they now have a christmas market together with fortnum & mason, a cool exhibition by chris stein, rock and roll retrograde with so many wonderful photos of debbie harry & they have a very cute trail called fashioning winter! 

images (clockwise from top left): 
a find from somerset house and its fashioning winter. roses from liberty. a little advent calendar i found just now in dulwich. i find it cute here, see capezio? it's where i get my ballet/ dance clothes from.

The Fairy Pagan Poetry Tales of Alice Solantania Saga

i am building my tale, the fairy one!













with the help of an andrew i feel like i have started the fairy tales of alice solantania saga. sort of understanding what the next step is to be for me and my planets. 

remember that this is your life. do what you love and do just that often. build your own fairy tale. live your dream and wear your passion. get lost once in a while and find the new you:) go out & start creating.

The Fairy Pagan Poetry Tales of Violette

the answer is dreams.. dreaming on
and on. entering the world of dreams
and never coming out. living in
dreams for the rest of time.

- haruki murakami

hey:)

this morning was stunning! dulwich woods was misty magic:) of course i documented it for my pagan poetry tales. then off home i was to transform into sweetness violette:))) i've just now been to dalston's beyond retro to try find a corp's bride's outfit with zero luck. i have given up on this search for today and am now devouring a coffee at the albion. 

it's ok to change your identity. it's ok to discover new and different versions of yourself and it's ok to move forward and completely change your identities as they come and go and are. to be human is to be fluid, to change. you are not invalid for doing so.

- whose quote is this??? such truth!!!
