a ghost girl


I tried taking an outfit photo. Not exactly the most successful attempt, but I think once I turned it black and white, I looked a bit like a ghost. I haven't been wanting to get out of bed much lately. The world is a very big place and I am just one person. I've been reading Goodbye To Berlin by Christopher Isherwood, and I didn't expect it to be much (I don't know why), but instead it keeps breaking my heart ever-so-slightly in all the right places. I've had a few books be surprisingly good lately, it's nice.

  1. Your blog gave me goosebumps, so I added a link to it immediately on mine; hope you don't mind. I've just visited Berlin, and that book sounds like a wonder! Have pencilled it in my (ever-growing) reading list.

    1. Thank you very much, I don't mind at all! I actually think I've just fallen a bit in love with your style, I'll have to link to you myself.

  2. Oh it turned out beautifully! I adore your dress! And I have enjoyed reading books that surprise me too...the ones that break your heart, I somehow love them the most.

    P.S I saw on a tumblr post that you were styling a simply gorgeous jumper. Come winter, I have a fully fledged love affair with jumpers and cardigans! I was wondering where you got yours?/are ordering jumpers from? I must expand my collection

    1. Thank you! I always seem to love things that make me a little sad. I'm not sure why, it just happens.

      I've got most of mine from Dotti so far. They were having a $20 off knitwear sale the other week, I'm not sure if it's still going though. The one in the picture is this: http://www.dotti.com.au/tops/knitwear/554033 in Mustard. I'm so in love with it! Dotti always have the best sales (this dress is from there too, only $20 & marked down from $70!). I also went through the sale section on newlook.com and ended up buying a couple of cute cardigans and jumpers, and two coats for really cheap! Good luck in expanding your collection! x

    3. My comment wasn't able to be published on the post above so here it is:

      My goodness, I need the Brambly book in my life! I really adore illustrated children books in that style, brings back so much nostalgia

      I don't think that I can ever thank you enough for your inspiring blog.

    4. It's really gorgeous, and so comforting to pick up whenever I feel sad. I can get lost in any of the pictures, and pretend I'm a mouse in Brambly Hedge, instead of a stressed Uni student in real life! Ha ha.

      And thank you so much, that really means so much to hear. xx
