Tunes

I am in the midst of an ingenious plan to re-invent myself, to make slight additions to my exterior, interior, and the places that I spend most of my time in. It's my How To Feel Good Again plan for the dark months of Fall & Winter, where I usually go into hibernation and feel sorry for myself for no necessary reason. Funny how the sudden darkness at six o'clock can do that to a person. Anyway, a good soundtrack to this plan of mine is 'Full Moon Fever' by the all American saint, Tom Petty. For the past year I have flocked to this record in my collection for that feel-good emotion that it brings me. There's something about his classic Rock N' Roll melodies that can make my sour mood into a This Ain't So Bad mindset. Liberating? yes. white trash? sometimes. relatable? sure. covers the bases? absolutely.

So, on that awful, ominous Winter day when you're feeling down & out, I'll be at home listening to this record. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll go back to listening to Metal.

The Hour

This afternoon I decided to treat myself and pick up Harper's Bazaar's September issue. I sat down on my loveseat and entered a world I revisit once in a while - a fantasy land filled with colours, shapes, and beautiful creations. I stared at the pages intently, taking in every detail, every model, every piece, every word. I can forget my life for a little while. I imagine taking home those perfect Celine boots I lust after, or those Chanel trousers - but what about the Cole Haan oxford pumps I've promised myself? As every page ends and enters another, I am filled with such strong emotion that goes farther than just materialism. I feel inspired to change myself into the effortlessly-chic woman that I will soon become, a woman with confidence, who does not second guess herself - who might own a fantastic collection of pieces that is not just a wardrobe.

Am I solely just a pawn in the fashion game?
