Sunset Seventies

Long time no see and frankly not too much has happened although I'll do a general update post later.  Lately I've been obsessed with the sing In The City by The Eagles. I heard it when I was rewatching The Warriors for the first time in 10 years. I love to listen to it while looking at The Virgin Suicides screencaps because Sofia Capolla + 70s music = a world of awesome. So look at this photo (click or drag to new window to enlarge) and let your mind wander to this lovely song.

Why can't it just be warm here in Canada and have summer start already? Summer always makes me so happy and feeling alive. I just wanted to post some inspo/happiness for yall. I've never been really big into fashion trends and have always felt that you should do your thing and let the world follow.

Somehow I just found out about Paloma Faith today. I have never heard of her and only by sheer luck did I stumble across her music. My favorite song by her so far is Streets Of Glory. Although I'm not crazy about her music I do like her style.

Dear Diary

The last week has been incredibly hard for me. I've been having more panic attacks than usual, multiple crying periods a day and sleepless nights. It feel likes the whole world has caught up to me and everything is too much. Everything feels so off. Contaminated. People getting to close to me. The regular things that brought be happiness have dimmed down to a dying flame, I feel surrounded by nightmares. I'm assuming this is because I'm stressed about school and court and outside. It is getting harder to go outside but I remain hopeful that one day I'll be able to walk out the door without having to sit in the fetal position first and take pills to stop the hysteria.

I've mostly been staying in bed and watching Sailor Moon and reading. I did have a bath in the dark with only a candle as a source of light and I highly recommend it. It was really soothing. I felt like I was in a world all my own. If you're feeling depressed I would try it. My interest in witches and witchcraft has increased as well as looking at the relations to feminism it holds.

 That's all for now x

HOLY HEART EYES BATMAN! BH cosmetics came out with two new era eyeshadow palettes: Eyes on the 70's & Eyes on the 80's. My heart is fluttering and unfortunately my wallet is empty.

Hero Status: Elvira

There are a lot of reasons why I love Elvira (her punk dog, her bad jokes, quirky personality, love for all things spooky, determination, awesome clothes etc etc etc) but one of my absolute favorite things is how badass she is. Elvira dresses how she wants which is usually in her very low cut long black dress that shows off more than cleavage. She wears it comfortably and for no one else, she wears it because she wants to. However almost every person she runs into either chastises her for her clothes or thinks it's an invitation to sexually harass her. Naturally being the strong woman she is she takes none of this shit from anyone. If it's throwing a man out of her house, hitting her groping boss or pouring beer onto the laps of perverts she let's the world now that she is not an object for them to use. She loves her body, she belongs to herself and lives for herself. Her feminism and spookiness has totally changed my life.

After having a really hard week (panic attacks everyday) I was able to go to Walmart and Chapters with the help of my mom (I have very bad anxiety and depression) and got a few things! That Chapters I went to ended up having a small fire and we all had to get evacuated out into the cold. Five fire trucks showed up and everything was fine. We were all able to go back in and I spent a couple more hours looking at books. (From left to right) Bastard out of carolina by Dorothy Allison, The secret life of bees by Sue Monk Kidd, The bell jar by Sylvia Plath.

From Walmart I got some body lotion and some wet n wild makeup (I'll upload that later) and got the Simple Eye Balm. I've heard some pretty good things for it and have been looking for an eye cream for my sensitive eyes. It has vitamin B5, vitamin E, bisabolol, Shea butter, and jojoba oil. It doesn't have any perfume or dyes. It comes out clear and you tap it into your eye area. I think it would be ok to wear under makeup.

My love for Laura Palmer is never ending, I swear. When going through 8tracks I stumbled upon a playlist with the song 'Laura' by Bat For Lashes and I'm totally obsessed with it. It's such a beautiful song. I think this song will always hold a special place in my heart as well as Twin Peaks.
