Every Human Has Seen

The holidays are practically upon us, and I haven't even started wrapping! Although what I love even more than wrapping presents or decorating the tree is making cards. I always make them handmade and it's so much fun, personalizing them for each of my friends. I strongly recommend it!


Red top: Hollister. Vest: thrifted. Capris: Gap. Socks: bought at a convention is PA. Scarf: mom's closet. Earrings: mom's jewelry box.

Alright, now I'm no history buff but with all this business over the "Aribet macht frei" sign stolen (and now recovered) from Auschwitz has really stirred me up. Actually, all historical-type thefts do. I mean, how incredibly selfish is it to take something that belongs to everyone--especially, in the case of the Auschwitz sign, take something that represents a people's history. Yeah, yeah, I understand the profit matter and I know that there will always be people who look beyond the social value but hearing the sign got cut into three pieces really makes me cringe. That's a sign I want my children to see and to understand the significance of. It's a sign I someday hope to see, too--it's something every human should, I believe.


Kick back and relax. No school for two weeks!

The whole issue of the National Museum of Iraq makes me feel the same way--but maybe that's because I sort of have a thing for Ancient Mesopotamia. I'll have to do a "I love Nineveh" post one of these days...


I love the pattern of this chair. It was my great-grandmother's.

Lastly, about my outfits...
I'm trying to keep in touch with the fact that this blog really revolves around my life at 17, and the literature I'm reading. From now on I'm making my outfits inspired by the novel I'm reading at the time. Today's outfit and photo shoot are inspired by the colors on the cover of my next novel, Watership Down.





Does this scream "rabbit" to you? :)
Happy holidays, everyone!

"They have two natural gaits--the gentle, lolloping forward movement of the warren on a summer evening and the lightning dash for cover that every human has seen at some time or other."
