soap and human sacrifice go hand in hand

Blue has always been a much more complex colour than the rest. To many it represents sadness, to others freedom. I recently read an article about the colour in july vogue considering it's place in fashion and everywhere else and it made me realise that blue is a universal colour with no true meaning, it represents whatever the person wants it to.


 
 
The colour blue suits everyone, which is probably why I was wearing an all-blue ensemble today, it's just one of those versatile colours that suits every mood/weather including sun (yes actual sun).
 







I guess you could say I was feeling blue today.

Shorts - eBay

I found these shorts on eBay this week after some intense floaty-shorts-hunting and besides being so so so pretty they are, I swear, the most comfortable thing I have ever worn. They remind me of tiles and now I really want to replicate this pattern into some ceramic tiles and just cover the house with them.

I accidentally unearthed fight club in my sister's room the other day and started reading it. I've never really given much thought to the book seeing as its such a great film but it is just as sardonic and ironical as the movie. There are so many great quotes in it too (that's where the post title is from), that I constantly feel the need to tweet/share with the world. It is the absolute epitome of dark humour.

Ultraviolence arrived this week, I was sceptical of it seeing as it hasn't exactly had rave reviews but I bloody love it. I'm usually influenced really easily by others' opinions but nothing will stop me from saying that lana has delivered another rad album. I think critics have grudges against second albums, they put so much pressure on the artists to deliver a a* album and then they go and slag it off with a 3 star review. Anyway, ultraviolence is just as American and smokey as born to die but with less hip hop beats and more guitar riffs (the riffs are sooo good - especially florida kilos). It's still cinematic and the dark undertones still linger but it sounds different, it has a different vibe from born to die. This has really taught me to not take reviews for granted, it's based on opinion not fact. (warning - I am an ldr superfan, so I may be biased) All of the songs are rad but my favourites are Cruel World, Florida Kilos + Brooklyn Baby.

  1. This outfit is absolutely S T E L L A R. I love what you wrote about blue and how it's whatever the person wants it to be. I tend to not wear a lot of blue, though I guess jeans are an exception, but this has made me suddenly really like the colour. I also adore those shorts, they remind me of the tiles in my mom's old house in croatia. So beautiful. FIGHT CLUB RULES.
