Style- Teal Sky

After spending the day in the garden, helping plant two roses and tearing out the root system of a "fake orange" bush, I had to change into something airy and light. It's amazing what roots will do in eighteen years.
Which reminds me! I'm counting down the days to March 16th, my eighteenth birthday!

I am The Cat Whisperer

I need a bit of a break from fashion, so I'll post about something out of the ordinary that happened!

About three weeks ago my brother and I were digging up rose bushes for my mother when he spotted a large black cat at the end of our street and pointed it out to me. I love cats, so I quietly walked over to see if I could make friends with it. It was tagless, what my mother calls "wild domestic": not an alley cat, but a house cat turned onto the streets. It was a long haired angora, with beautiful soft fur. I coaxed it into the house where I gave it some food and water, and later we turned in over to the animal shelter, where they will probably adopt it out immediately. It was really sweet!

This wasn't an isolated incident- I have tamed birds and other cats- and due to this my mother has taken to introducing me to as follows: "This is my daughter, Merrihel. She's like Snow White with the animals- she tames them and they come to her. Like Gisele in Enchanted!"

Style- Boxy Black and a New Haircut!

On Saturday I had my growing-out layers trimmed into a bob- now I'm waiting for the front to grow longer, keeping the back short.

Steampunk Quiz, What Fun!

I'm fascinated by the steampunk genre of literature, clothing, and decor; so is my brother. This quiz is pretty straightforward and not at all goofy like some can be. This is what I got- I must say I agree with it...

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Air Pirate

25% Elegant, 31% Technological, 23% Historical, 56% Adventurous and 63% Playful!

You are the Air Pirate, the embodiment of steampunk fantasy. Admittedly, you would probably be more comfortable in a pulp adventure or Eberron fantasy, but you are able to find your niche in the less serious side of the genre. You are probably somewhat light on your technological accessories, but the ones that you do carry have a roguish dash to them. Your clothes are most likely styled after those of Victorian aristocrats or loyal airship officers, the better to show off your wealth and the spoils of your raids. Chances are you prefer to be flashy and extravagant, and frock coats are perfect.

Style: Dark Romance

My brother tells me I look like a vampire hunter today, especially when I put on my black hoodie. We stopped by my mother's plot in the community garden and planted some vegetable and herb seeds, then did the shopping. So all around a busy afternoon!

Fred David button-down, Susie Rose belt, thrifted vintage DKNY skirt, Merona boots, black tights, Kohl's pewter choker and self made faux pearl and bead choker.

Simple makeup today- sunscreen (always!), concealer and powder, and my favourite lipstick, L'Oreal Infallible in Bold Bordeaux.
