There's no way around it, the world can sometimes be a very dark place.  I've been desperately trying to hold onto some form of optimism but it's become almost impossible. When the world becomes dark I go to many things for some light - family, friends, music, books, embroidery, journaling, scrapbooking. I try to surround myself with things that make me happy. Over the summer I read Peter Pan for the first time and was sobbing by the time I finished it.

Autumn Wish-List | Fashion

Autumn encompasses all of my favourite things. Nothing beats warm colours, cozy scarves and above all else tons and tons of layers. My style has always been very eclectic but I don't think I've ever been inspired by so many different things at once before. This year is different.

It feels like I've come across so many interesting new things and I want to incorporate them into my wardrobe!

My School Supplies | Back to School

I promised myself I wouldn't start this post saying the terrible " It's that time of year again!" but I really don't know how else to word it. I know for most of us, going back to school is no joyous occasion, it's actually quite horrible. I haven't been able to sleep the past week thinking about it. This year is going to be especially difficult, I'm entering my senior year and that means university applications. But that's the last thing I want to write about today. Let's talk about the one okay thing about September - school supplies. I'm one of those weird people who just love school supplies. I love new notebooks and binders and pencils and pens. It's the one thing that makes this month bearable. Maybe this post will give you some ideas for your own supplies but if not you can just enjoy looking at all of the pretty things :)
