When Her Closet Looks Like Narnia



My mums closet looks like the entrance to Narnia. So many fur coats past down from generations. However, she will never wear them, far to bourgeois for her she says. But some of her pieces are amazing; she used to be a punk when she was my age. Stories of going to concerts in bin bags and safety pins. A few pieces are left only now but they are still so retro. Raking threw your mums closet is almost a coming of age thing. Finally, when you look at those pieces and you appreciate them. Apparently, she threw away 95% of her clothes. She did not think I would want them! I guess when your 20 you are not really looking to the future.

Body In A Box

I am constantly inspired by films, one of my favorite is White Oleander. The final scene where she maps out her life in suitcases is amazing. i could be homeless if i lived in this box.

If you have not watched anything by Sofia Coppola, I shake my head at you. Her films are amazing, she illustrated isolationism so strongly. Virgin suicides is my favorite.

I remember the first time I listened to pearl jam ten. I must have been 6 and black was on, I do not think I have ever looked back. I was lucky enough to see them in the summer.

These perfume Bottles I picked up in Prague at the Jewish quarter; I love the colours especially with the cameos in the middle. I want a whole collection of them.

I find after watching Into the wild I feel so materialistic. Things tie you down
