i've never been there, but the brochure looks nice





























trying to get some inspiration for a trip to salem this week...i'm reluctantly accepting that summer is pretty much over, now, and attempting to move on to fall. sigh. oh well - LAYERS

you can see on the horizon,

she is soon going home.
















thrifted cashmere sweater + shoes, mom's old skirt, socks that sis gave to me, my old dance class backpack, my pentagram earrings.




i bought this great wool skirt at a vintage store i went to today. it doesn't have any tags, but it was only $8! and i'm a cheapo, so!




since it's closing in on fall, and the lighting in my room was interesting, i think, i wanted to make the photos seem a bit spooky. i resembled a zombie in the first picture by accident, though.






the skirt is a lot more blue in real life.









i bought this halloween-y painting at that vintage store as well.
(the last two photos are crap, but it actually looks really nice in person.) 


lately i've been thinking about dyeing my hair...i've seen so many nice pictures of dyed hair over the past few months and, although i love my natural haircolor, i just feel like doing something different. like this.
thing is, if i dyed my hair, i wouldn't want to kill my natural color permanently. so no bleach. my webcam is fairly deceptive with my color and makes it look insanely dark, when in reality it's more red + light brunette.
actually, since the color would look a lot less vivid without bleach, electric tiger lily might look a little less like a carrot-color? and it's semi-permanent, so from what i've read, it will fade out eventually and go back to the natural color?
...ramble ramble. anyways. i'm in a bit of a dilemma, and i must consult my hairdresser. more spooky schoolgirl posts should be expected as the season begins/progresses.

people talk about you, people say you've had your day






mom's shirt, weathervane shorts, levi's belt, mom's sneakers.


even though i'm two days late, happy belated birthday, Freddie.
since my wardrobe has a distinct lack of harlequin unitards, leather pants and police caps, i had to go with a more simple outfit...would've worn skinny jeans but it was really, REALLY humid outside on the 5th and i probably would've sweat to death. and the shirt was the wrong color so i thought i'd just throw accuracy out the window. didn't find a mustache in time, so a badly photoshopped 'tache will have to do. ("'tache" is how they say it over in britain, i guess? it sounds completely unnatural out loud.)

it's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon sundays

that bored you to rages of tears
the unending pleadings
to waste all your good times
in thoughts of your middle-aged years













summer is ending, childhood is ending, etc etc
