Cannabis

October 9, 2011, 7:42 am

Those of you who have been following my blog for some time are most likely aware that I have a penchant for scented candles. I love burning candles, especially when the colder seasons are approaching and melancholy has settled in.

I went to London on Thursday and finally got my hands on this covetable "Cannabis" candle from Malin+Goetz. It's rapidly become a new favorite of mine. The peppery redolence is hands down extremely seductive and addictive – but fortunately it won't put you behind bars, so I wouldn't mind getting drugged on this candle. And burning it makes me high, lol, even though it doesn't contain a sprinkle of cannabis. It also smells like men's perfume, which might explain why I can't stop sniffing at it – yes, I also have a soft spot for mens' fragrances. One word: LOVE!

How I'd wear a pea coat

Isabel Marant Etoile Atea coat

I’ve been eyeing this beautifully structured pea coat from Isabel Marant for quite a few months, and now I’m finally able to tick it off my wish list. Hurray! I compromised and went for a very dark navy one, despite the fact that I’ve always had both a black and navy pea coat on my list of dream purchases.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect as it’s started getting beastly cold outside. As with almost every new wardrobe addition of mine, I make collages. Not that I’m breaking any new ground, but it’s a great way to visually pinpoint my taste, preferences and style. I like doing collages with items I already possess and items of which I’m planning to get hold in the future.

Well, I’m aware that there are a lot of different shades of blue in these outfits. I think I tend to wear blue more than black nowadays, or any other color for that matter. And whoopsy daisy, there are oodles of A.P.C. items in the collages below. Obsessed much?

Thakoon cigarette trousers, Acne denim shirt,Comme des Garçons Play cardigan, Church's burwood brogues, Sofia Coppola x Louis Vuitton bag,Omega watch

A.P.C. cashmere sweater, Thakoon cigarette trousers, A.P.C. canvas tote bag, Repetto ankle boots, Chanel nail polish, Hermès bracelet

A.P.C. ribbed sweater,Margaret Howell shirt, A.P.C. canvas tote bag, Cheap Monday jeans,Hermés bracelet,Dieppa Restrepo loafers

Isabel Marant jeans, A.P.C. shirt, Church's burwood brogues, Sofia Coppola x Louis Vuitton bag, Omega watch, Denis Colomb scarf

I don't know who the alluring girl is in this picture. She's perhaps famous or something, as I'm pretty sure I've seen her somewhere on the interweb before. But one thing I know is that I have a major girl crush on her right now. Oh my! And I suppose it's because of her hair. No, I really do have a crush on her hair. She makes me want to rummage my drawers for a sharp scissor and shed my locks right away, which is something I've been contemplating doing for a little while now.

Oddly enough, I've been feeling a compulsion to reinvent myself in terms of appearance as of late – I've already purchased a whole lot of new clothes, new spectacles (it was about time), and additionally I've put on 100 kilograms, so basically I should stop this reinvention before I go overboard with sex reassignment surgery and such, lol. And although I saw my hairdresser a month ago, I feel like I have to do something drastic to my hair pronto. But chopping off my hair is like a leap in the dark for me. These days, I wear my hair in a bun or a high ponytail, largely as it makes me feel and look less feminine. Not really sure whether or not it’s a good thing, but I'm currently all about looking boyish. Quite frankly, it's more of a psychological matter on which I might elaborate another time – if I dare broach the subject myself.

That said, if I all of a sudden decide to chop off my precious locks, it's going to be comme ça.

I'm a bit sad, because this is perhaps the last post ever on this blog – my alter ego's home ever since 2008.

Tomorrow, Dead Fleurette will migrate to a new place so as to be part of something great – a new blog collective. It's not a sudden decision, I've been mulling over and planning this blog move for almost a year now, and I can't believe it's all happening tomorrow. Whether or not the migration is permanent, I won't stop contributing to the blogosphere. We'll see how I like my new home. Frankly, I'm going to miss this place and layout tremendously, but a change of scenery is probably healthy, especially as the landlord is loathsome! But don't fret – it will take all the furniture.. ooops, I mean posts along with it.

One thing I'm very excited about is the comments section on my new blog. It will be a lot easier to reply to each and every comment with the threaded comments feature, which is something I've been trying to incorporate into my blog for months but blogspot is indeed a bitch.

I REALLY HOPE that this move won't stop any of you, my lovely readers from dropping by my blog. I hope those of you who have been around and commented in here since the day one will come along too. My old URL will still work for a couple of days and after that it will redirect you to my new home. Please come on along with me on the ride!

A trillion thanks for your continued readership and support!

Come back tomorrow to check out my new blog.

PS: You can still use this URL. And I will take care of those of you who subscribe to Dead Fleurette on bloglovin. :-)
