Glean

Glean | GLEEN | verb;

1. To learn, discover, or find out, usually little by little or slowly.

For me, there has always been an allure in the simplicity of minimalism; I have never been the type to don copious amounts of accessories. Only in the last few years have I come around to the idea of accessories, so I have decided to share a couple of my favourite pieces with you. On a celebratory note, my last exam was yesterday and now I am free (in time and spirit), yay! I guess this means I have no excuse to not have interesting and regular posts.

Thursday marks the day of my last exam (until next year). I should be studying, instead I am procrastinating and looking through my photo archives. These photographs are from the beginning of the year when my hair was long. I really love that the ball gown and the lighting work together to give off a 'haunted' vibe.

Beatitude

Beatitude | bee-AT-i-tood | noun;

1. Supreme blessedness; exalted happiness.

These photos are still crap quality, sorry. I felt super girly in this dress, it was a bit scary at first but it was a nice change. I found this dress the other week and there was just something reminiscent about it - I can't quite put my finger on it. The best part is it was only $25!

Eidolon

Eidolon | ahy-DOH-luhn | noun;

1. A phantom; apparition.

Happy Halloween! We don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia so here is the closest thing to a costume I could gather, I call it Skeleton-Fairy. It's a bit hard to notice in the photographs, but my hair is now pastel green with lilac roots. I'm not sure if I like it.

The photos aren't great quality, sorry - but I really love the lighting and the juxtaposition of the neon dress in the dark parking garage. I've been up to some super exciting things lately, I can't wait to share them with you.
