NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS

Just a tribute to the oh so cool Kate Moss of the 90's, who today celebrated her 40th, headed by her own oh so controversial words. 

Probably Moss' most famous and contentious quote, 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' has become a mantra for teenage girls and young adults. It is surely worthy of discussion and stigmatization when applied to the context of one's mental and physical health. 

I'm not sure I want to go into all that, but what the quote says to me is that Moss is someone who speaks her mind. It fascinates me how she was able to blurt out something so inconsequential to herself yet so outrageous to the public.

I basically have perpetual love for Moss and the simple fact she does what she wants. Happy 40th Kate, you absolute beaut xx

The best part about holidays would have to be the spare time that enables you to make polyvore-esque collages like these. I should probably just make one instead of filling my blog with collages, but for the mean time I suppose that's the way it's gonna be.

I think it's fair to say that half the population love this white on white black on black business and the other half abhor it. Most of the people I know are into prints, colour and more frivolous designs, which is probably a good influence to have. The inability to incorporate these things into one's wardrobe is every minimalist's greatest struggle. 

Anyway, I hope to accumulate some whites/blacks from these collages soon. Add to the collection, you know.

AN ARTFUL START

Top to bottom: New Shakuhachi dress / exquisite art found on tumblr (source unknown) / prettty screencap

The new year has seen old and new habits come into gear. A combo of work, decor/art hunting, tumblring, online shopping, seeing friends, yoga and smoothie experimentation has had me counting my blessings more than once.

I'm all too content with the newest edition to my Shakuhachi family. A previous post saw this beaut centered in my shift collage, as I had been eyeing it since the collection's release. Lighter than paper, this silk Shak dress makes for a solid rework of trendy blooms, seen perpetually in the 2000s, that has continued to flourish since. Overall, I'm digging the blacks and blues that make this rosy piece so neo romantic and its shapely reference to mod culture.

Always on the hunt for minimal decor and art prints, I finally stumbled across the perfect print. Found on tumblr, I really loved this peachy-black-blue brush work that would be divine in my room. Hopefully, I'll sort out printing and hanging soon.

Yeah. As you can see, good old tumblr is always on the agenda... I should probably stop making screenshots and do some actual blogging instead. Next time.
