Plus-size?

 

Model Robyn Lawley, Vogue's idea of a plus-size model. If she's a plus-size model, I could perhaps be a plus-plus-size model in the world of high fashion. To me, she is the ideal size for a woman (granted a bit tall, but hey, I'm used to being short - I'm half Asian).

a woman in a man's world

 "I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it." 

- Marilyn Monroe

I love you in black and white

Gabriele Rigon:

"Italian photographer specializing in fine art nude, glamor photography and fashion. A photographer who treasures feminine beauty and expresses it in images with refined sensuality and elegance. Published in international magazines and books; also a source of inspiration for poets, sculptors and painters from around the world."

These are a few of his glamor shots. Most of his work is done in black & white, but his colors are amazing too. 

See? To see more of his work, go to his homepage. He has a lot of it posted there. All of it is breath-taking and awe-inspiring, so I suggest you click on the link below ;)

Much love, xx

shorts season!

It's the season for shorts, skirts and summer dresses. Since I rarely wear skirts or dresses, I'm going to stick to my trusty yet cute shorts. Hey, I can't sit criss-cross applesauce in a skirt or dress, okay? That hinders my ability to move/lounge around in my house to an uncomfortable extent. You will only ever see me in a skirt or dress on a day I have a reason to dress up... or if I feel like looking extra pretty for my boyfriend ♡

Anyway, here are two pairs of shorts I came across that I desperately want. Early birthday present for Lisa, anyone? Prease?

a moment or two

Lately I've been posting a lot of random stuff up on my blog, and haven't really done anything art or fashion related - so today I'm posting up a series of fashion photos done by Jamie Beck. These photos are slightly animated, making them not only beautiful but incredibly fascinating as well.

 

Aren't they lovely? I wish I knew how to do this...

love in a cigarette

Love
n. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

Now that I've got the definition of love out of the way, I can move on to the pictures I found online of beautiful people smoking. I admit it's a terrible habit, but at least it's got some glamour.

A little edge.

Stumbled upon these beautiful photographs, taken by Chris Nicholls. I thought the use of the background was interesting. やっぱきれいだね。Wish I had the skill to take pictures/paint like this.

Growing

So before I start blogging about what I ACTUALLY want to blog about, I'm going to comment on the poem I wrote a couple of days ago, just because it's so incredibly random and has really nothing to do with everything else I've ever posted. I tend to write poetry when I'm confused, in love, in pain - you name it. It's the best way to let everything out (oh how my IB Higher Level English teacher would be proud). The poem below is of me being confused. Being back in Japan with my family is great, but I wish for the freedom I had back in Canada with my lovely roommates. And yes, the poem is purposely incredibly vague ;)

NOW, it was my beautiful friend Giulia's birthday yesterday, and to celebrate we rented a limo and rode around downtown Tokyo, went to a pub, sang karaoke, and then ended the night at a club. Jealous? I know you are. Don't deny it.

I know you're probably expecting me to blog about this wonderful experience, but honestly I'm here to comment on my hair. WHAT? WHAT IS THE CONNECTION? Well I'll tell you. Giulia, the birthday girl, had her hair up in a hot ponytail at the beginning of the night (she has a bad habit of changing her hairstyle every two seconds) and it made me wish my hair was longer so that I could pull that off. I mean, if I did that now, I'd look like Pippy Long Stockings. Only with one ponytail instead of matching piggies. It would unattractively stick out and be incredibly inappropriate for a night out on the city. So this blog post is dedicated to pictures of said magnificent hairstyle, and me saying that I'm growing my hair out. And I wish it would hurry, damn it.

Adriana Lima. Enough said.

Blake Lively. Also enough said.

Love Rihanna, but not a fan of the bangs here... a bit on the greasy side, I'm afraid.

Not a fan of Miley (sorry - you're lovely but I can't stand your country accent.. which is ironic because I have redneck family).

Keira Knightley♡ fell in love with her in Pirates of the Caribbean, of course.

And of course a picture of a complete random that happens to be attractive and rather photogenic. 

So hair, I'm biding you to grow. Please. Soon. Now would be nice.

xoxo
