Random: Photos and Tidbits

Over the years I have blogged, there are photos I've taken that don't fit anywhere, don't make the cut or just didn't end up being used. I've also found photos I've had taken in my previous blogs but I didn't preserve my posts, so I can't say much in terms of context.

Before White + Rose

I've always had a fascination with photography. I don't think I take great photos but I still learn. One of the blogs, I had called Poisoned Apples and Sweet Tea - already allusions to fairytales, Disney... etc. It also happened to be an acronym for PAST (ignore the ampersand).

I love strawberries.

Paint, paintbrushes and a sketch for some linocut in 7th grade, except those tubes of paint I had in 8th grade.

My fondness for jewellery-making. I happened to find a coin that had been drilled into, so I used it for a necklace.

Glass chess set. I loved chess, even though I was a beginner.

There were just some photos that didn't end up being in a post because I felt uninspired by it but also because I didn't want this blog to be a log of my outfits. Most of the outfits I coordinated for this blog wasn't what I wear on a day-to-day basis. They were experimental and I guess I never put them up because it just didn't reflect my style.

I was wearing a ruffle dressing gown with that because I was hoping for some Cult Party Kei influence.

This wasn't planned for a post. It was a little blurry.

Since I have started blogging again, I have changed my outlook on how to write this blog. I've allowed more freedom to write about things that may not have any relevance to what I had initially envisioned for this blog. I hope I'll continue writing for as long as I am interested in developing my style and watching it change over the years.

Inspiration: Catherine Deneuve - The Hunger

The Hunger (1983) is the last film collaboration Catherine Deneuve had with Yves Saint Laurent. 80s fashion suited the thousand-year-old Egyptian vampire, Miriam -- accessories were bold and flashy, the shoulder pads making one seem more confident and powerful. In fact, every time I use my YSL lipstick, I'm reminded of this movie -- something about YSL and the flashy gold packaging makes me recall this film. This vampire movie had its flaws but I will acknowledge that it was beautiful, aesthetically speaking. My favourite shots Here are the highlights of the outfits: First outfit: Possibly jumpsuit with belt, 80s Cat Eye glasses, drop earrings, leather gloves with eyelets Very minimalist here with a navy blazer and white shirt. Love the raspberry lip. Flashy gold earrings here. Veiled hat, large stud earrings, white coat and a lizard brooch (love that detail; I believe in Ancient Egypt, lizards symbolise divine wisdom) Perhaps my favourite dress. A drop nec

Review: W.Dressroom Dress & Living Clear Perfume

I came across W.Dressroom while I was looking for an alternative to candles. With endorsements from Kpop idols/celebrities such as BTS Jungkook and Wanna One/ NU'EST Minhyun, they're popular amongst kpop fans. Retailers claim it to be affordable luxury, taking a similar concept to that of Jo Malone (making a scent available in various forms). The most easily accessible version is the mist, however, you can find candles, hand cream, reed diffusers and more of the range from YesStyle. I purchased mine from The Sesame Shop and arranged a pick-up, but this option is only available to Sydneysiders. Green Grape Sorbet and Peach Blossom are both very fruity. The floral edge is more noticeable in the grape than the peach. Peach Blossom smells straight up like peach. April Cotton is powdery and clean, much like laundry detergent and soap. Out of the three, I recommend April Cotton. It's the only scent I'd consider purchasing again. However, the quality leaves something

Inspiration: You Who Came from the Stars/ My Love from Another Star

The world has witnessed the power of product placement, after many of the lipsticks worn by Cheon Song Yi (played by Jun Ji-hyun, also known as Gianna Jun) were sold out and has a wait list. This includes YSL Rouge pur Couture in #52 Rosy Coral, which had been sold out worldwide . It was later released that the lipstick shade in question was made from various products and none were from YSL. AmorePacific was one of their sponsors and provided most of the products used while YSL just got a free ride . Nevertheless, Rosy Coral was a popular shade prior to the drama release but it probably wouldn't have sold out if it weren't for the rumour circulating. I've put some time aside for a drama marathon and watched all the episodes. I joined the masses of people, swept in the craze to purchase what she wore and even to eat her favourite food & drink: chicken and beer . I think it's mostly Jun Ji-hyun's charisma that sells these products. While I don't feel com
