I'll put the ring on when you ready

Synopsis: Your husband, the cold and calculating billionaire Muzan Kibutsuji, has a tradition that you can’t help but indulge him in.

Characters: Muzan Kibutsuji, black!fem!reader

Pairing: Muzan x black!fem!reader (established)

Setting: Modern AU

WC: 473

Note: The title is lyrics from a song.

Note 2: this is my first time writing for Muzan! Please let me know how I did!

Sitting at your vanity, having already done your makeup, curled your silk press, and gotten dressed, you were ready for whatever the day had in store for you.

Well, almost.

Looking in the jewelry box, your eyes took in the familiar pieces of jewelry you owned: necklaces, bracelets, anklets, earrings and rings. Some were silver but a majority of them were gold, since you liked how they complimented your brown skin. Such as your love ring from Cartier which had the gem of your birthday embedded in it. Just like the earrings you had put in.

Both were presents that Muzan had gifted you on your birthday.

But there was one piece of jewelry that you treasured the most and it wasn’t in its usual place, separated from the rest of the jewelry: your wedding ring.

Where was it? You didn’t misplace it.

And it couldn’t have been stolen.

None of the maids would enter the master bedroom, where you and Muzan slept, without expressed permission from either you or him.

Lest they wanted to incur Muzan’s wrath.

Speaking of your husband…

Perhaps he knew what happened to your wedding ring. Just as you reached for your phone and entered the passcode, you felt a familiar presence behind you, a familiar weight on your shoulders. The hands of your husband. Looking in the mirror, his crimson gaze met your own, his normal cold and gaze, softened at the sight of you.

“Good morning, beloved.”

“Morning, Muzan.”

“Looking for something?” Muzan’s sixth sense of whenever you were looking for something or when you just needed something in general had been unnerving in the beginning of your relationship with him. Just like his silent footsteps. But now, you are used to it.

“Actually, yes. My wedding ring. Do you have it?”

“I do.” His tone was nonchalant, as if he was discussing something mundane, like the weather. “Won’t you indulge me in this tradition of mine, beloved?”

Whenever you took off your wedding ring for whatever reason, Muzan always wanted to be the one to put it back on your ring finger. And if he couldn’t, then it would lead to him being irritable during the day, until he could.

And you could deny him, of course. But you didn’t. There was something intimate about this small tradition between the two of you.

“Of course, Muzan.”

Giving you a soft smile, Muzan reached into the pocket of his suit and took out your wedding ring and slid it onto your ring finger. It was a perfect fit. Like always.

“I adore you.”

“I love you too, Muzan.”

translation: fangool / go do it in an ass, / marone / damn it / il mio piccolo tesoro / my little treasure.

you lick your lips slowly, lifting the petite glass and bringing it to your lips, tasting the rich krug flat on your tongue. fingers wrapped around tightly as you watch natasha flaunt around the bar end of the restaurant, collude deep with a full view of her little display with your table only a few feet away. rolling your eyes you pick up the cigarette pack aside from you, fumbling down your drink and lighting it up, blowing out the thick french scent smoke.

“excuse me, could you please put out your cigarette,” your eyes flash towards the man some tables away, eyebrow cocked in annoyance and distrain. you stare blankly, tapping away the burnt ashes off the tip and turning your attention back to natasha.” ma’am.”

“marone! leave the fucking smoking section then!” you snap towards their direction, eyes harden and un amusement fading to anger fast, glaring. “proletariat, fangool!” shifting back to the russian, catching her eyes and bridging the intensity of her green, inhaling once more. sliding the champagne again to your lips, raising an eyebrow over the rim with jealousy burning in with the alcohol. are you finished with your game?

natasha smirked over her slightly hauled shoulder, your expression lamely and stoic but faded underneath is the whole reason she’s continuing on her show. still, she peers at you from the corner of her while fingers shims around the younger girl’s arm, your rings grasping tightly against the glass, the cartier sleek love band, and the golden diamond aside it as well a panthère slimed around your wrist. truthfully you looked good enough to eat with the white silk pressed on your tanned skin, giving you more of a glow with the golden  accessories.

brushing back the stray hair behind the girl’s ear she watched as your mien fallen and a rushed snap of your fingers has the waiter ushering you the bill, eyes set on natasha as you mindless throw money for the check and tip. 

“natasha,” waving a hand behind your back to beckon her to tail from a distance, and like always she obeyed. following you into the car, muttering something in Italian before the chauffeur starts the car. you turn your attention back on her calmly, nodding before reaching a hand and yanking her head to rear in your pleasing.” what a show you’ve put on tonight beloved, but i didn’t care much for your co-star.” you laugh softly, pulling her upper to meet her eyes. your nails running along the back of her neck with your lips attaching to the base of her throat.

“but i don’t think it’ll do well,” you sigh, the mock of sympathetic patent with a now pout in place. natasha’s lips quirk upwards, deciding to play along.” that’s mean to say baby.” her eyes trained on your lips, the red curling into a pleasing smile, the hold within her hair loosens, and a soothing hand pushing her streaks back.  

“don’t worry, you can be the main star of my show,” you say quietly, intertwining your hand with hers and bringing it down to your thigh under your dress, your gaze flickering back towards her.” and mine will be a lot better and successful.” your fist tightening withholding her hair once more and roughly pushing her towards you, slamming your lips against hers with a smothering kiss.

“but i don’t know if you quite deserve it, touching that filthy puttana,” you whisper nearing the shell of her ear, voice edged with a low seething.”i shouldn’t even let you touch me. i bet if i let you, you’ve spread that whore out and fucked her, hm? or would you have done that if i wasn’t there?” your words meant to come out as teasing but natasha heard the undertones, and she knew you knew, that she knew.

“no,” natasha lets out shakily, holding back a groan of the feeling of your teeth nipping at her exposed neck.”don’t want her, just you.” your head falls against her shoulder, smoothing a kiss on the blade.

“just me?” your relaxed features now sneering, your grip a little tighter at the movement of the car stopping. nodding,” just you.”

giving her another kiss before opening the door, an unspoken command for her to follow you into the penthouse. kicking off the satin heels, peering over to the entrance where natasha stands.”c’mere il mio piccolo tesoro,” you coo, tapping a spot for her to join, smiling to ace the act. natasha doesn’t need to see the calm before the storm to understand how this is gonna play out. draping your legs over her lap, catching her face between your fingers,”such a pretty girl,” you murmur, shaking your head.”too bad she’s such a little fucking slut.” you finish, though the tone still mockingly sweet, your smile replaced with a lazy grin now.

without any response from natasha you shift towards her lap, your legs between her waist and gripping her thighs with a bruising kiss, wrapping her legs further around her waist. alining your sex to brush right against her bare thigh, sighing out at the friction, the thin panties the only thing keeping your pussy from her warm skin.”stay put.” you hiss, sealing it with a pinch to her arm, laughing at her little groan of pain.  striding towards the chest tucked into the corner, picking up the silicone and a small bottle of lube. 

“make yourself useful for once and lube that bitch up,” you laugh at your own words and take no mind to natasha, she rolls her eyes stripping herself of her top, watching your little tease show of taking off the silk, and as expected a matching white set underneath. rolling her hips up through the harness, squeezing some of the lube into her palms and running it along the fake length. lifting her gaze and meeting your steps to her, your bra unclasped and somewhere thrown but your panties remain. she cocks her eyebrow downwards, silently asking why they’re still on. you don’t reply, simply pooling them down, and reaching for natasha’s face by her jaw and shoving the expensive lace into her mouth, very well enjoying her wide eyes of curiosity and then surprise.”don’t give me those eyes, i don’t wanna hear you after that shit you pulled with that puttana.”

slowly sinking yourself on the strap, slapping a looming hand of the red head underneath you, taking the cock with a burning stretch leaving you aching, moaning when you feel the tip hilts, natasha drooling at seeing the fake cock poke out some from your stomach. waiting a few moments before lightly grinding on the strap.”see, if you weren’t some stupid bitch i would’ve let you fucked me,” you tell her, grabbing her shoulders for support, rising your hips up and slamming them down again. natasha grits her teeth, itching to touch you, kiss you, feel you literally anything.”please.” she muffled out.

you chuckle at her barely audible beg, her eyes glossy and her voice so whiny, you loved her like this. you decide to throw her a bone and grab one of her hands to give some attention to your tits. speeding up your pace with the added pressure of natasha tugging your nipples between her fingers.”fuck, fuck, fuck play with my clit baby.” you gasp out, your eyelids fluttering with the coil in your stomach ready to snap. podding her thumb against your clit, watching your face falls into pleasure and soon you’re crying out and gushing all over her lap. alcohol always made you extra sensitive.

ripping the makeshift gag of your panties from her mouth, she stares at you for a few seconds.”i’m fucking you at least once tonight.”

“if you can even do that right beloved.”

your words get stuck in your throat as your back drops to the couch, natasha between your legs and pushing the tip inside, arousal pulling at the slick coating the strap. holding your hips still she snaps hers, filling you up. her mouth dry seeing tears peak the corner of your eyes, your legs shake around her already and she hasn’t even moved yet. supporting her body weight with her hand against the side of your head, grabbing the arm of the couch and thrusting up, her grunt going straight to your core. she smirks at the strings of high pitched moans she’s getting out of you, your nails dragging across her back and digging in, your legs beginning to shake uncontrollably with the sound of natasha fucking you, the couch dampening under the pressure of natasha’s hips against yours.”don’t stop, i’m gonna cum you better fucking make me cum.” leaning down and smashing her lips down to yours, reaching a hand to where you both connect and rubbing circles on your clit.

your eyes roll to the back of your head, your grip on natasha unbreakable and your body shaking under her from your second orgasm of the night. giving out a few more trusts to ride out your climbmax, kissing the side of your temple and staying inside you. panting slightly, burying her face inbetween your neck and the Italian leather.

“does this make me forgiven?”

“we’ll see.”

[yaz-the-spaz]

But I want to know your theory. :(

ok ok i guess i’ll spill…i was kinda hesitant to share just cause i’m still not all that solid in my belief in it myself but basically it seems like maybe ziam has made it a tradition to have some kind of couples trip most years (if not every year) in february ever since 2014…

(btw for future reference this ask is a continuation of this ask re ziam both being publicly in vegas earlier this year)

ugh sorry guys! hit enter by accident and posted this wayyyy before i was anywhere near finished lol…this will be updated within the hour (if it doesn’t take me too long to get my thoughts out)

narrator: she did not finish it within the hour.

…

ok so part of the reason i’ve been hesitant to share this is because a good portion of it is VERY speculative and just based on a lot of guesswork and assumptions, but also there’s the fact that it feels like this is something major that more people in the fandom (or at least someone, other than little ass me lol) would have noticed before now and it kind of freaks me out that maybe no one else has?? (unless ofc i just haven’t happened to see any other posts there are about it idk)… 

also fyi a lot of what i propose throughout this is heavily based on info from this post just to make sure i remember to site my sources before we get into it lol

alright now onto the actual theory…

SO. all this started with me scrolling through old posts from late 2013/early 2014 and being reminded of the fuckery that was zayn’s bday that year (with the douche canoe crew and everyone pretending like liam was barely there as seemingly some sort of weird over-the-top cover-up)…the same party that seemed kinda like liam’s possible “introduction” to the malik family as more than just zayn’s friend/as his possible significant other. which was also only a month after that suspicious engagement-looking ring first showed up on zayn’s ring finger in december 2013 from bts midnight memories mv footage (and which stayed around as a necklace throughout january 2014 and early febuary 2014 right before the first appearance/debut of the mandala tat in mid feb). 

bts midnight memories mv with the ring in view - dec 2013:

(suspicious?) malik family outing/celebration with the ring in view - dec (or possibly late nov?) 2013:

[putting the rest under the cut cause as per usual with me this got insanely long]

liam and aunt zileh at zayn’s bday party - jan 2014:

liam and one of the little cousins at zayn’s bday party - jan 2014:

then sometime in between late jan and early feb 2014 liam went on a trip to barbados with his whole family (and supposedly also sophia lol more on that later*) while zayn was SUPPOSEDLY still home and steadily “posting” pics of himself at home with various members of his family (with the ring on a necklace clearly visible in the pics lol), anddd as some have also pointed out his hair was suspiciously unchanged in these pics despite his claim of getting a haircut BEFORE most of the pics were posted lol

zayn in family pics with the ring on a necklace - late jan/early feb 2014 (sorry i’m not the one who cropped his fam out lol):

but yet we’re supposed to believe zayn - who had just gotten awarded the asian ambassadorship for the VERY FIRST time - mysteriously (and willingly) MISSED the ceremony on feb. 5th with absolutely no explanation. which…we all know how big a deal that was to him from the way he talked about it and how honored he was when he went in 2015…which begs the question if he was really just home not doing much of anything at the time in 2014 why in the world would he just pass/bail on that HUGE HONOR with no explanation??? mayhaps because he was actually already an ocean away with liam and fam in barbados celebrating his engagement (and getting his own “introduction” to the payne family) and literally COULD NOT ATTEND?

anyway so then, we have him getting the mandala tat around feb 18th 2014 - or at least this is the day he debuted it on his old ig, so the date may be a few days off from when he actually got it - but this still would’ve been shortly after they got back from the barbados trip when he debuted this particular tat (aka another solidification of the engagement??) 

THEN we get the very first ig ziam likes from the famous and beloved aunt zileh (!!!) in this same month (still feb for reference, but she continues steadily and heavily liking stuff all the way through april when she seems to cool down again). fast forward to the 2014 brits at the end of february where we have the infamous moment with 1) ziam giddy as fucking ever, 2) zayn whispering into and practically mawling liam’s neck in public, 3) liam talking about how it was great to “fill each other in” on what they were up to during their break while zayn’s just steady standing there smiling like a loon and then 4) liam still later being like ‘you don’t wanna know’ when asked what he got up to (and zayn still grinning like a fool)

ziam being gross at brits 2014:

so to sum up so far: 1) one of them possibly proposed around nov/dec 2013 (or that’s my best guess anyway based on the evidence lol), 2) then zayn shows up with a suspiciously-engagement-looking ring in dec 2013, 3) then all the weirdness with liam’s attendance at zayn’s bday party a month later (possibly also liam’s formal intro to the malik family), 4) then liam takes his barbados trip with his fam (and supposedly sophia lol*) just a couple weeks later while “zayn” stays home and posts family pics (but is very likely secretly on the trip with liam lol which is also possibly zayn’s formal intro the payne family and a belated celebration of their engagement), 5) and then we get the beginning of aunt zileh’s likes, 6) the debut of zayn’s mandala tat, 7) and the 2014 brits wildness…all in the space of like 3 months. and most of it happening in FEBRUARY. what a wild fucking journey right?

*side note/fun fact: liam and his fam were posting stuff regularly throughout the duration of the barbados vacay but there were literally zero pics of sophia posted from this trip until like dec 2014 or sometime around then when like ONE random pic suddenly surfaced/was posted and lots of ppl had already speculated that sophia was never there in the first place so once this one pic came up that idea got upgraded to people theorizing that they maybe had some of the fam go back a second time later in the year just to stage take photos to retroactively prove/authenticate the narrative that sophia was there lol

but anyway so back to the actual matter at hand - most of that shit happened in february right? specifically the barbados trip (aka the possible engagement celebration trip)…and when i was talking about all this to a friend we realized ZIAMI WAS ALSO IN FEBRUARY. AND SO WAS THIS YEAR’S VEGAS SHIT. AND THEN. AND THEN. My friend did some research and there was apparently this little known/barely talked about article (or at least barely talked about that i’m aware of) about liam taking a TRIP TO THE MALDIVES IN FEBRUARY 2016… which coincidentally (or not lol considering these shady ass hoes) is also around the same time he got his 4 tattoo (I believe this was the first article, or at least one of the first articles, that mentioned the tat’s debut) 

BUT WAIT. 

THE INSANE SHIT DOES NOT END THERE FOLKS.

GUESS WHICH MONTH THE CARTIER BRACELET FIRST DEBUTED?

FUCKING FEBRUARY 2016.

specifically on liam’s wrist in preparation for the 2016 brits (photo posted to his brits stylist’s ig on feb 23rd). and he didn’t take it off till like june.

so. quick timeline:

february 2016 - maldives trip and debut of liam’s 4 tattoo (around feb 21st); debut of cartier bracelet via liam (feb 23rd); (there was also that valentine’s day roses pic liam posted feb 14th of this year which was quite interesting considering he and c hadn’t even been officially announced as a “thing” yet…ofc we know it still got retroactively attributed to her anyway but whatever, we all know who it was really for lol 😏)

february 2017 - i don’t have anything on this year, partly cause i stopped paying as close attention due to heavy ramping up of stunts, although if anyone has more concrete info on this period that hints at anything please do hit me up and i will add it in, but anyway just based on a little light research there does appear to be a good period of inactivity from both of them during this time (as in both of them had quite a bit of time in february where they were pretty inactive on sm, not being papped, and essentially mia and would have potentially had time to go on a private trip) - UPDATE: HOLY SHIT I CANNOT BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THIS BUT THIS IS THE YEAR LIAM SHOWED UP AT THE BRITS WITH THE MOTHERFUCKING 25 ON HIS JACKET AND FUCKED SIMON ALL THE WAY UP BY SWERVING ON HIS UGLY BITCH ASS SPEECH IN FRONT OF GOD AND ENTIRE WORLD (and i think also thanked zayn in his speech if i’m not mixing that up with another year??) - all on feb 23rd to be specific.

february 2018 - ZIAMI OBVIOUSLY (which specifically started feb 22nd, or at least that’s the day i’m counting it as ‘started’ cause it’s the day liam joined zayn in miami, can’t recall the exact day zayn arrived but pretty sure it was only a couple days before that)

february 2019 - zayn starts wearing this distinctive fishhook earring in all his ig pics, which on the surface seems like a pretty small thing, but quite possibly commemorates their famous august 2014 fishing trip (directly after which he also started wearing a fish hook pendant on a necklace back in 2014); this was also another period they were pretty quiet/mia as far as i can recall, although again if anybody has more concrete info from this time that could point to something please let me know, but anyway point being they again would have had a good chunk of time to possibly go on a private trip together

february 2020 - VEGAS BABY

ofc i’m sure you all will notice one year was left out - february 2015 they were on tour with no breaks coming anytime soon so they obviously weren’t able to go on a trip that year. BUT. february 14th 2015 (aka valentine’s day lol) is also the day liam was famously papped with some small shopping bags that looked suspiciously but precisely like the type that usually come from a jewelry store, and then later that same night they had a performance (for otra tour) where we have zayn pictured wearing a new gold bracelet (as in he hadn’t been seen wearing it ever before on tour or anywhere else) - btw the op of this linked post actually marks this day as the debut of the cartier bracelet but there’s a lot of counter speculation that it’s not and given that it doesn’t quite look like the cartier bracelet looked in later pics (it’s more round and more gold than the cartier bracelet which imo looks more angular and more kind of a two-tone/silvery-gold than this vday bracelet) i’m inclined to lean more towards it just being a regular but still very sweet vday-gifted bracelet. but anyway back to more important stuff. now considering this was literally just a little over a month before zayn left - and one of my theories for zayn leaving was that it was possible he felt it was the only way to save his relationship with liam…i mean if they were still giving each other vday presents they were clearly still VERY in love at this point. like that’s not the kind of thing you’d expect from a couple that was on the rocks and on the verge of breaking up and i know a lot of ppl (myself included for a brief minute) speculated that zayn leaving the band meant he maybe left liam too/or things weren’t working out b/t them or whatever, but given this context of the vday gifts just a few weeks before him leaving that doesn’t really line up…what does line up though is him being so in love and so sick of the bs that he might be driven to just be done with it all (as far as the stress of the band and mgmt bs is concerned at least). and ofc liam did say that zayn is the most emotionally impulsive/emotionally driven out of all them so when you think about it it really shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise…

anyway, in conclusion: 

it appears quite possible ziam has made it a couples tradition (ever since that first honeymoonish vacay in 2014) to go on some sort of trip/getaway together around the end of every february (or at least do something special together/for each other when they can’t) and in further conclusion I AM NOT OKAY AND WILL NEVER BE OVER THIS REALIZATION OKAY THANKS BYE 😭😭😭😭😭🌈🌈🌈

skies and stars

the last plate was placed in the dishwasher and you bob your head to the beat of particular taste, the song filling the room. you can't help but dance, so you sway your hips to the song until you heard a deep laugh from behind you. shawn was sprawled out on the soft couch as he filmed you, immediately posting the short clip onto his instagram story. he drops his phone on the couch and runs up to you, quickly sweeping  you off the floor.

"bub!" you squeal as you playfully hit his chest, making him laugh. you wrap your arms around his neck and he places a kiss on your forehead. a smile spreads across your face as you lean into his chest, trying to hide the blush that was already spreading on your cheeks.

he carries you all the way to the walk in closet, setting you down on the marble counter that held his and your precious jewelry. although you tell him not to get you those kind of things, he still did. you remember the last time he bought the two of you matching cartier love rings, and you were quite shocked to see it in front of you. he always told you that you shouldn't be worried about him spending the money, because like he said 'i have millions of dollars in my bank account and i'd rather spend it all on you'.

he pulls out his ysl hoodie and slips it onto his body, fitting him perfectly. it was oversized but not too much, adding that chill look to it. he walks around the counter to your side of the closet, flipping through your numerous pieces of clothing. he chose a yellow dress with a wrap around it and handed it to you.

"what is this all about?" you giggle, taking the dress from him. he smiles and turns to you again, holding a pair of white flats.

"you'll see." he winks. you take another look at him and can't help but smile at his cute little antics.

you take off his large shirt off of your body as shawn eyes the white band of your bra that had the words 'calvin klein' printed on it.

"looks like you could do a calvin klein campaign too, eh?" you chuckle in unison as you shake your head. you tie the wrap of the dress into a neat knot and sit down on the floor to put on the flats. you stood up again, straightening out the small creases of the dress. you look up at him only to see his hazel eyes staring back at you in awe, a pink blush coating his cheeks.

"now can you tell me where we're going?" you ask, hoping that he'd finally tell you. he shakes his head as his curls were flying all over the place, making it look messy.

you run your fingers through his hair, putting it back in place. him being the playful boyfriend that he is, he pulled out a single strand of hair, just to add that extra charm to him.

"nope." he teases, taking your hand in his, leading you to the front door. you sigh, giving up, knowing that you'll never be able to force the answer out of him.

"stay here." he says, quickly running back to the shared bedroom. he comes back with the keys in his hand, making a faint sound. you head out of the apartment as he leads you to the parking space of the apartment complex. he presses the unlock door on the key fob, sprinting to the jeep to open the door for you.

"why thank you." you smile, climbing in the jeep. he soon follows and minutes later, you were on the road to you don't know where.

you couldn't help but admire the tall buildings of toronto through the window of the black jeep. all of a sudden, you feel shawn's hand trace random shapes on your thigh. instead, you held his hand in yours and comfortable silence filled the vehicle for a few minutes.

"do you wanna be the dj today?" he asks, referring to the radio. you two took turns in playing music in the car, so you gladly accepted the offer. you scroll through the selection of songs on your phone, finally making the decision to play queen by your boyfriend. he smiles as his fingers tapped to rhythm of his music against the steering wheel.

"who made you the queen?" you sang in unison, smiles spread across each other's face. for every finished song played a new one, and the two of you sang your hearts out to all the lyrics; too much to the point shawn didn't even notice that he already went past the place he wanted to take you.

he took a turn as a nervous laugh left his lips, mumbling the words oh my god over and over again. you snicker and he rolls his eyes at you playfully.

"stop laughing at me, babe!" he laughs, finally pulling up into the single parking spot. he shuts the car down and runs over to your door, opening it for you. he holds out his hand to help you step out of the jeep. 

"so now can i know where we are?" you were confused since there was literally nobody else other than you and shawn.

"oh fine. c'mere, love." he motions his hand for you to come forward and you did.

your jaw drops at the small setup before you. a huge picnic blanket was laid out beautifully on the grass, a few pillows spread on top of it.  fairylights surrounded the blanket, giving off a warm glow. you pull shawn to the cozy layout and give him the tightest hug you've ever given a human being. he rubs your back gently, planting a kiss on the top of your head.

"so you know how we always drink our tea in the balcony of my apartment at like 1am and you look up at the sky, gushing over the stars and what not? well, i decided that instead of doing that on my balcony again, i thought of taking you out here instead." a blush crept up your cheeks and your swear you felt your heart physically skip a beat. you couldn't believe how thoughtful and loving he was, the fact that people like him still exist.

you slowly walk over to the blanket, just noticing the rose petals scattered all over the place. you smile, remembering the first ever bouqet of roses that shawn gave you on your first anniversary. you sit down on the banket, quite surprised at how soft it actually was. shawn silently sat next to you, looking up at the sky. you lean your head on his shoulder and you feel him pull you tighter to him.

"this place looks absolutely stunning, shawn." you whisper, still amazed by the adorable act your boyfriend has done for you.

"it looks more stunning with you in it, love." you roll your eyes and laugh, flustered by his words.

"let's lay down, shall we?" shawn suggests, grabbing one long pillow for the both of you to share. as soon as you laid down, you place your head on top of his chest and your arm over his torso.

"i don't know why, but the sky looks prettier tonight."

"you always say that, y/n." he grins and you nod in agreement.

"hey shawn?"

"yes, darling?" the brunette looked down at you, a calm tone escaping his lips.

"i love you so so so so much. words can never express how much love i have for you, neither can my actions do. you deserve all the love the world holds. i still can't process the fact that i was able to find such a loving, caring, and awesome guy like you."  you felt his heart beat faster and you pause for a moment before continuing.

"the only reason i like the sky and the stars is because of you, shawn." you confessed.

"how come i'm the reason you like the sky and the stars?" he asked curiously.

"because of the stars that were spread on the sky when i met you. i know for sure that those were my lucky stars, otherwise i wouldn't be with you today."

"it's like the stars were aligning." you say at the same time, making the two of you smile.

"i wish i could fly up to the sky right this instant to say thank you because with them, i was able to meet my own star that brightened up my dark sky." as cheesy as it sounded, you meant it, and you were only able to croak out the last few words.

"oh come here." shawn pulled you tightly in his arms and looked at you with eyes full of love. to him, you were the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. he never would've thought that such a gorgeous girl could have the most beautiful heart as well. from the moment he first said hi, he knew that he didn't want to let go of you. ever.

"i love you too, y/n. sooooo much." he smiled, as he held his beloved star tightly in between his arms.

Switching Lanes With St. Vincent

By Molly Young

January 22, 2019

Jacket (men’s), $4,900, pants (men’s), $2,300, by Dior / Men shoes, by Christian Louboutin / Rings (throughout) by Cartier

On a cold recent night in Brooklyn, St. Vincent appeared onstage in a Saint Laurent smoking jacket to much clapping and hooting, gave the crowd a deadpan look, and said, “Without being reductive, I'd like to say that we haven't actually done anything yet.” Pause. “So let's do something.”

She launched into a cover of Lou Reed's “Perfect Day”: an arty torch-song version that made you really wonder whom she was thinking about when she sang it. This was the elusive chanteuse version of St. Vincent, at least 80 percent leg, with slicked-back hair and pale, pale skin. She belted, sipped from a tumbler of tequila (“Oh, Christ on a cracker, that's strong”), executed little feints and pounces, flung the mic cord away from herself like a filthy sock, and spat on the stage a bunch of times. Nine parts Judy Garland, one part GG Allin.

If the Garland-Allin combination suggests that St. Vincent is an acquired taste, she's one that has been acquired by a wide range of fans. The crowd in Brooklyn included young women with Haircuts in pastel fur and guys with beards of widely varying intentionality. There was a woman of at least 90 years and a Hasidic guy in a tall hat, which was too bad for whoever sat behind him. There were models, full nuclear families, and even a solitary frat bro. St. Vincent brings people together.

If you chart the career of Annie Clark, which is St. Vincent's civilian name, you will see what start-up founders and venture capitalists call “hockey-stick growth.” That is, a line that moves steadily in a northeast direction until it hits an “inflection point” and shoots steeply upward. It's called hockey-stick growth because…it looks like a hockey stick.

Dress, by Balmain

The toe of the stick starts with Marry Me, Clark's debut solo album, which came out a decade ago and established a few things that would become essential St. Vincent traits: her ability to play a zillion instruments (she's credited on the album with everything from dulcimer to vibraphone), her highbrow streak (Shakespeare citations), her goofy streak (“Marry me!” is an Arrested Development bit), and her oceanic library of musical references (Kate Bush, Steve Reich, uh…D'Angelo!). The blade of the stick is her next four albums, one of them a collaboration with David Byrne, all of them confirming her presence as an enigma of indie pop and a guitar genius. The stick of the stick took a non-musical detour in 2016, when Clark was photographed canoodling with (now ex-) girlfriend Cara Delevingne at Taylor Swift's mansion, followed a few months later by pictures of Clark holding hands with Kristen Stewart. That brought her to the realm of mainstream paparazzi-pictures-in-the-Daily-Mail celebrity. Finally, the top of the stick is Masseduction, the 2017 album she co-produced with Jack Antonoff, which revealed St. Vincent to be not only experimental and beguiling but capable of turning out incorrigible bangers.

Masseduction made the case that Clark could be as much a pop star as someone like Sia or Nicki Minaj—a performer whose idiosyncrasies didn't have to be tamped down for mainstream success but could actually be amplified. The artist Bruce Nauman once said he made work that was like “going up the stairs in the dark and either having an extra stair that you didn't expect or not having one that you thought was going to be there.” The idea applies to Masseduction: Into the familiar form of a pop song Clark introduces surprising missteps, unexpected additions and subtractions. The album reached No. 10 on the Billboard 200. The David Bowie comparisons got louder.

This past fall, she released MassEducation (not quite the same title; note the addition of the letter a), which turned a dozen of the tracks into stripped-down piano songs. Although technically off duty after being on tour for nearly all of 2018, Clark has been performing the reduced songs here and there in small venues with her collaborator, the composer and pianist Thomas Bartlett. Whereas the Masseduction tour involved a lot of latex, neon, choreographed sex-robot dance moves, and LED screens, these recent shows have been comparatively austere. When she performed in Brooklyn, the stage was empty, aside from a piano and a side table. There were blue lights, a little piped-in fog for atmosphere, and that was it. It looked like an early-'90s magazine ad for premium liquor: art-directed, yes, but not to the degree that it Pinterested itself.

The performance was similarly informal. Midway through one song, Clark forgot the lyrics and halted. “It takes a different energy to be performing [than] to sit in your sweatpants watching Babylon Berlin,” she said. “Wherever I am, I completely forget the past, and I'm like. ‘This is now.’ And sometimes this means forgetting song lyrics. So, if you will…tell me what the second fucking verse is.”

Clark has only a decade in the public eye behind her, but she's accomplished a good amount of shape-shifting. An openness to the full range of human expression, in fact, is kind of a requirement for being a St. Vincent fan. This is a person who has appeared in the front row at Chanel and also a person who played a gig dressed as a toilet, a person profiled in Vogue and on the cover of Guitar World.

The day before her Brooklyn show, I sat with Clark to find out what it's like to be utterly unstructured, time-wise, after a long stretch of knowing a year in advance that she had to be in, like, Denmark on July 4 and couldn't make plans with friends.

“I've been off tour now for three weeks,” she said. “When I say ‘off,’ I mean I didn't have to travel.”

This doesn't mean she hasn't traveled—she went to L.A. to get in the studio with Sleater-Kinney and also hopped down to Texas, where she grew up—just that she hasn't been contractually obligated to travel. What else did she do on her mini-vacation?

“I had the best weekend last weekend. I woke up and did hot Pilates, and then I got a bunch of new modular synths, and I set 'em up, and I spent ten hours with modular synths. Plugging things in. What happens when I do this? I'm unburdened by a full understanding of what's going on, so I'm very willing to experiment.”

Like a child?

“Exactly. Did you ever get those electronics kits as a kid for like 20 bucks from RadioShack? Where you connect this wire to that one and a light bulb turns on? It's very much like that.”

There's an element of chaos, she said, that makes synth noodling a neat way to stumble on melodies that she might not have consciously assembled. She played with the synths by herself all day. “I don't stop, necessarily,” she said, reflecting on what the idea of “vacation” means to someone for whom “job” and “things I love to do” happen to overlap more or less exactly. “I just get to do other things that are really fun. I'm in control of my time.” She had plans to see a show at the New Museum, read books, play music and see movies alone, always sitting on the aisle so she could make a quick escape if necessary. But she will probably keep working. St. Vincent doesn't have hobbies.

When it manifests in a person, this synergy between life and work is an almost physically perceptible quality, like having brown eyes or one leg or being beautiful. Like beauty, it's a result of luck, and a quality that can invoke total despair in people who aren't themselves allotted it. This isn't to say that Clark's career is a stroke of unearned fortune but that her skills and character and era and influences have collided into a perfect storm of realized talent. And to have talent and realize that talent and then be beloved by thousands for exactly the thing that is most special about you: Is there anything a person could possibly want more? Is this why Annie Clark glows? Or is it because she's super pale? Or was it because there was a sound coming through the window where we sat that sounded thrillingly familiar?

“Is Amy Sedaris running by?” Clark asked, her spine straightening. A man with a boom mic was visible on the sidewalk outside. Another guy in a baseball cap issued instructions to someone beyond the window. Someone said “Action!” and a figure in vampire makeup and a clown wig streaked across the sidewalk. Someone said “Cut!” and Clark zipped over for a look. It was, in fact, Amy Sedaris, her clown wig bobbing in the 44-degree breeze. The mic operator was gagging with laughter. It seemed like a good omen, this sighting, like the New York City version of Groundhog Day: If an Amy Sedaris streaks across your sight line in vampire makeup, spring will arrive early.

Another thing Clark does when off tour is absorb all the input that she misses when she's locked into performance mode. On a Monday afternoon, she met artist Lisa Yuskavage at an exhibition of her paintings at the David Zwirner gallery in Chelsea. Yuskavage was part of a mini-boom of figurative painting in the '90s, turning out portraits of Penthouse centerfolds and giant-jugged babes with Rembrandt-esque skill. It made sense that Clark wanted to meet her: Both women make art about the inner lives of female figures, both are sorcerers of technique, both are theatrical but introspective, both have incendiary style. The gallery was a white cube, skylit, with paintings around the perimeter. Yuskavage and Clark wandered through at a pace exclusive to walking tours of cultural spaces, which is to say a few steps every 10 to 15 seconds with pauses between for the proper amount of motionless appreciation.

The paintings were small, all about the size of a human head, and featured a lot of nipples, tufted pudenda, tan lines, majestic asses, and protruding tongues. “I like the idea of possessing something by painting it,” Yuskavage said. “That's the way I understand the world. Like a dog licking something.”

Clark looked at the works with the expression people make when they're meditating. She was wearing elfin boots, black pants, and a shirt with a print that I can only describe as “funky”—“funky” being an adjective that looks good on very few people, St. Vincent being one of them—and sipped from a cup of espresso furnished by a gallery minion. After she finished the drink, there was a moment when she looked blankly at the saucer, unsure what to do with it, and then stuck it in the breast pocket of her funky shirt for the rest of the tour.

A painting called Sweetpuss featured a bubble-butted blonde in beaded panties with nipples so upwardly erect they actually resembled little boners. Yuskavage based the underwear on a pair of real underwear that she'd constructed herself from colored balls and string. “I've got the beaded panties if you ever need 'em,” she said to Clark. “They might fit you. They're tiny.”

“I'm picturing you going to the Garment District,” Clark said.

“There was a lot of going to the Garment District.”

As they completed their lap around the white cube, Clark interjected with questions—what year was this? were you considering getting into film? how long did these sittings take? what does “mise-en-scène” mean?—but mainly listened. And she is a good listener: an inquisitive head tilter, an encouraging nodder, a non-fidgeter, a maker of eye contact. She found analogues between painting and music. When Yuskavage mourned the death of lead white paint (due to its poisonous qualities, although, as the artist pointed out, “It's not that big a deal to not get lead poisoning; just don't eat the paint”), Clark compared it to recording's transition from tape to digital.

“Back in the day, if you wanted to hear something really reverberant”—she clapped; it reverberated—“you'd have to be in a room like this and record it, or make a reverb chamber,” Clark said. “Now we have digital plug-ins where you can say, ‘Oh, I want the acoustic resonance of the Sistine Chapel.’ Great. Somebody's gone and sampled that and created an algorithm that sounds like you're in the Sistine Chapel.”

Lately, she said, she's been way more into devices that betray their imperfections. That are slightly out of tune, or capable of messing up, or less forgiving of human intervention. “Air moving through a room,” Clark said. “That's what's interesting to me.”

They kept pacing. The paintings on the wall evolved. Conversation turned to what happens when you grow as an artist and people respond by flipping out.

“I always find it interesting when someone wants you to go back to ‘when you were good,’ ” Yuskavage said. “This is why we liked you.”

“I can't think of anybody where I go, ‘What's great about that artist is their consistency, ” Clark said. “Anything that stays the same for too long dies. It fails to capture people's imagination.”

They were identifying a problem with fans, of course, not with themselves. It was an implicit identification, because performers aren't permitted to critique their audiences, and it was definitely the artistic equivalent of a First World problem—an issue that arises only when you're so resplendent with talent that you not only nail something enough to attract adoration but nail it hard enough to get personally bored and move on—but it was still valid. They were talking about the kind of fan who clings to a specific tree when he or she could be roaming through a whole forest. In St. Vincent's case, a forest of prog-rock thickets and jazzy roots and orchestral brambles and mournful-ballad underlayers, all of it sprouting and molting under a prodigious pop canopy. They were talking about the strange phenomenon of people getting mad at you for surprising them. Even if the surprise is great.

Day 11: Did you find the gifts i’ve been leaving you? | Sanada Yukimura

★ Ikemen Sengoku Fanfic ★ Sanada Yukimura, OC Note: SFW | Contains a theme that may be uncomfortable to some | AU | OOC Prompt List

Yukimura looked into the mirror and adjusted his thick black glasses. He ran his fingers through his hair and smiled, satisfied. He looked good. He grinned. He wanted to look good before he left the house. He shrugged his black t-shirt back on, covering his well-toned body. Smoothing out the wrinkles on his shirt, he studied the room and placed his fingers on his chin.

“Where should I hide my present this time?” He said out loud. He fished out the red Cartier box from his jeans pocket and opened it. He shook the box gently, moving it from right to left, making the diamond sparkle. He smiled. The perfect ring for the perfect girl. He imagined her lighting up as she opened the box, surprised. She would put on the ring and kiss it, spinning around in happiness.

A flash of regret crossed his face. It’s too bad he wouldn’t be able to see her expression when she found his gift. He had to leave soon. Painful as it is, he’s never been able to see her react to any of his gifts of love. His work took too much time out of him. 

He remembered all the gifts he’s left her. It started with a little handmade card for when they first encountered each other. He had hidden that in a coat pocket. It was the first time he’d ever made any handicraft but he would do it for her. He’ll do anything for her. His eyes twinkled at the thought. In the card he had written all his thoughts about her and had professed his undying love.

He sat on the bed and absent-mindedly touched the Egyptian cotton sheets. He thought of the fourth gift- a hundred red roses, scattered all over the bed- a sign of his devotion to her. He had made sure that there were no thorns on the roses so that she wouldn’t accidentally prick her delicate, precious skin. 

His gaze went to the bed side table and he smiled fondly. He had been a little over-the-top with this next gift. The eighth gift. He had bought her a Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet. He remembered placing the keys in the bedside drawer. He had parked the car downstairs. He knew she liked her old C-Class saloon but he thought she needed a new car; that thing looked like it had travelled down many beaten roads. She still drove her old car but he didn’t fault her for that- he knew how much she loved her car. 

He sighed and surveyed the room once again. He eventually decided on the underside of the pillow on the bed. He placed the box gingerly beneath and patted the pillow down. That’ll do, he thought. She’ll find it. She was so good at her job.

He took one last look at himself in the full length mirror, checking to see if he looked decent. He grinned widely, and left the room. He was on cloud nine as he thought of the gift he had left behind and how happy she’d be. 

-

Vicki came into the room and examined it. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed. Another long day. She glanced at the right side of the room. The body had been removed but the blood had stained the wood floors. She was used to such sights but it still unnerved her. She pinched the bridge of her nose. A knock came and she turned. Ieyasu was expressionless. 

“Victim was 25-years-old, male. Strangled to death. He sustained wounds from numerous stabs made by the attacker after he came out of the bathroom,” Ieyasu said simply. 

Vicki nodded and wore the rubber gloves she had stuffed in her jeans pocket. 

“Get Mitsuhide in here as well.” She said as she began searching for evidence.

“Yes, Detective.”

She started with the bathroom, combing every nook and cranny. She almost jumped when she heard Mitsuhide’s baritone voice call her name. She hadn’t even realised that he had come in.

“You need to stop that, Mitsuhide. You scared me,” Vicki said, walking out of the bathroom.

Mitsuhide shrugged. He held up a red box. 

“What is it?” Vicki asked, walking over to him.

He said nothing and gave it to her, watching her reaction.

Cartier. It was printed in gold cursive font on the box. She furrowed her eyebrows and opened it. A huge diamond ring greeted her. Her expression tightened. She gave the box back to Mitsuhide.

“Take that thing back to headquarters. It’s evidence.”

Mitsuhide sighed.

“Another gift, huh.”

-

Yukimura stared at the TV, the light from the screen illuminated his face in the dark room. He clasped his seat when he spotted her on screen. His breath was caught in his throat. She looked beautiful and... tired. Hmm... He should give her some vitamins the next time, he thought. He listened to her attentively.

“We’ve found strong evidence to believe that this crime was committed by Sanada Yukimura.” He shivered when she said his name. 

“He’s evaded capture for a few months now but we’re making double sure that he’ll be caught and trailed for his crimes against innocent lives. I would like to reassure everyone of that. He will not get away,” She says, her face determined. 

Yukimura frowned. That guy was far from innocent. Yukimura had seen him eye his beloved with lust when she had passed by him during a trip to the convenience store. He had then followed him back to his apartment and taught him a lesson. He would do anything to protect her.

When the broadcast ended, Yukimura raised an eyebrow. Maybe he should let her catch him; then he’ll finally be able to talk to her. He chuckled darkly. No, maybe not yet. He had many other little gifts of love he would like to give her.

/a sorrowful farewell - mein sechste Nostalgie./

note: this post will be written totally in english. the first time i don’t want to write anything in vietnamese. and the longest post in this blog. four recent days is a greatly hurtful period for me to have undergone. he left the world, left his group, left his family and relatives, left his fans at the age of a still young fine man, twenty-seven. he left all of us too surprisingly. until now, if you asked me to express my feelings of recent days in words, i would let myself be speechless. really, i didn’t know, i don’t know and i will never know what to interpret fully this hurt, and empty feeling. i also don’t know to call his method of finishing his life selfish or trying to escape from hardships. i still remember my first impression with him. that day was in the period of time when i had to revise for my semester exam in grade five or may 2011. i listened to ring ding dong for the first time, and after listening that, i did not do well in my test the day after. my head that time was full of his first line ‘babe’ in ring ding dong. and until now, when other shawols have sung ‘replay’ for the farewell to him, i have thought, if i came there, i would have sung ‘ring ding dong’ instead since it made a too deep impression on me. he is the person leading me to shinee. he is the person i love much, though it can not be as great as kibum. he, together with his fellow members including kibum, makes me decide to join the ‘shawol’ fanclub. he, together with kibum, makes me ship them both platonically and romantically as real soulmates. then, finally he himself makes the most hurtful pain in my fangirl life. many people understand shawols, but also there are others criticizing us for feeling sympathetic for a case of suicide. they even brought out the evidence of ‘dien bien phu-in-air victory’ in hanoi in 1973. i can never understand why they have to clarify their criticism so poorly like that for kpop fans because of paying sympathetic attention to their idols. that makes me realize, prejudice once appears, itself will hardly disappear as the time passes with more improvement in thinking. i feel tired. i feel empty. but i can not cry. i still feel my love, my sadness to him, to his group, to my own ultimate one-true-pairing. from the time i heard that news until yesterday, i have paid fully three tributes to him, to my ultimate couple and to his group which was a part of my teenager age. but now, i still can not stop feeling the sorrow deep from my heart to this still shocking fact, especially after i finished reading the hand-written farewell letter with the cartier ring for the most recent birthday of kibum sending to him. he has really gone. everyone has had tears falling down. the moon surprisingly turned peaceful blue which is the official color of shinee this morning (in my country’s time zone.) to send the sadness and sympathy. i have tried to tell my fellow co-workers or my dear sisters in hopemin’s world that i’m feeling okay, but whenever i see the update, i bitterly have to admit to them that, ‘this time is too hard for me. i still can not totally undergo.’ and i’m really thankful to them for understanding me and sharing this pain with me. my younger sister is also the factor helping me overcome these recent sorrowful days. although her methods were not too positive or negative, just neutral, she has left for me a lot of questions. she said, ‘recently, since i knew that news, i have only listened to view and she is, my two favorite songs of shinee and him.’ she is the person making me realize i almost forgot to pay a tribute to shinee, and i did that immediately based on her music recommendation. she also said, ‘you still remember the time when i asked you for the lyrics of she is? it says ‘eyes of a vixen.’ you still think he try to indicate key? i still, my sister.’ she still remembers. she once again made me want to cry because of my ultimate one-true-pairing. she knew that couple helped me overcome the hard time when i broke up with my ex-lover for his being a homosexual, leaving a shock for me that day despite myself partly having already supported lgbt+ before and when i found out that my ex-crush is also gay. lastly, but most sorrowfully, she asked me a hard question, ‘sister, if the last album of jonghyun were released one day, would you buy it?’ i became silent. and she continued, ‘if i were you, i would buy it unconditionally.’ i just wanted to hug her tightly for that too hurtful fact. my junior is the third one to express her sympathy to me. she always tried to encourage me. she said she felt touched when she saw my tribute to my ultimate couple and carefully read it until the last line. she said, i really had much love to him, to my couple, to his group. she said, you are often the strong person between us, but if this time is hard for me, she is ready to share the hardships with me. therefore, i have left too many thanks to my dear junior. and the last one is my 11-year close friend. we are totally different in almost all aspects, but we have some things in common, which are that we both love him and ship our ultimate couple. we really had to overcome together, we really had to share the agony immediately whenever we saw each other. she said to me many memories about my fanfiction sharing, about her ever-lasting love to him. she told me to never forget this event, and to tell each other whenever one of us accidentally forget. and though i have experienced the same pain, at least i succeeded in becoming her support to overcome our loss. i am still not totally fine until now. my fellow co-workers clearly see that and still feel sympathetic to me. i relentlessly come to my instagram chatbox with my junior, trying to express my pain of my ultimate couple to her, but i can’t. i did not see my close friend today. my younger sister told me not to say since she knew everything already. i still want to cry, especially when i saw the cartier ring on kibum’s index finger, but i can never do that unlike others. these last farewell below are sorrowful. but i still have to say for myself to officially accept. thank you, my beloved, for always working hard. thank you, my beloved, for becoming a nice memory of my good old days. i’m sorry but i can never speak too emotional words like other shawols. i don’t want to read those continuously on my facebook feed, because i am too scared of them. but dear my beloved, until now, no, until my far future days, my love for you, for my ultimate couple, for your greatest group of your life, will never easily be forgotten from the deepest corner of my heart. now i’m sending this to my real bias in shinee, key or kim kibum. i understand that feeling, my dear kibum, you even proposed to live together forever after ten years of having no lovers six years ago. but now he has gone, your promise is forever unfinished, you had cried a lot for two days right after you came back to seoul. but you still tried to write your letter, to promise to him once again to become stronger. he will be happy for you, i promise. can we together to overcome, to become more stronger with the other in shinee, with shawol? will you promise that with us, kibummie? not only you, but sending this to jinki, minho and taemin too. final words, i want to say that, never neglect or discount depression. it is a scary mental problem, i understand this fact thoroughly since i was almost the victim of being depressed two times. i have considered him as my motivation to overcome through his songs. but now since he passed away, even though i still wonder if his work betrayed my effort in the past, i have to admit that depression is not a thing for people to make fun. to ignore. they really need help. his death is a great lesson for all of us to be aware of this syndrome. i am lucky that i have realized that lesson. his death could only interrupt my way of learning positve thinking for a short time since you evidently know as the time goes, i still have to come back to my reality. moreover, stop spreading untrue rumors related to him or other artists or depression. no one or nothing is the joke here for you. lastly, stop using fallacy to criticize kpop fans by any history event like 1973 ‘dien bien phu-in-air’ victory, dear ‘vietnamese history lovers.’ you are doing nothing working well. at least, i still remember that event from december 18th to 30th in 1972 in hanoi. and i believe there are many fans like me. thank you, my beloved after all. though it needs time to recover, you make us realize too many things. you’ve always worked well and hard, dear my star, now enlightening the night sky with other ones. you will forever in our heart, specially your soulmate’s one, my beloved. 211217, listening continuously to ‘nếu’ (acoustic version) by my anh tran. photo of the last moments in his funeral, kibum’s hand with the cartier ring he bought for kibum’s birthday on september 23rd.

When you think of Cartier and its multitude of products with a...

When you think of Cartier and its multitude of products with a cult following, chances are you think of the brand’s iconic Love Bracelet , it’s new Guirlande de Cartier handbag (which is already beloved by influencers everywhere ), and now, you’ll also think of Clash de Cartier . Clash de Cartier is Cartier’s latest jewelry collection that’s all about duality, contradictions, and if we’re getting granular, alter-egos. To further help the messaging of the inherent attraction of opposites within of the collection, Cartier hosted influencers and editors (including myself) to a luxurious trip to Paris where everything from caviar served with french fries to a Parisian Ghetto Gastro was tastefully planned as we experienced the beauty of Clash first hand.

Between all of the caviar eating and gala attending, I somehow managed to find time to interview the new face of the Clash de Cartier campaign, Kaya Scodelario . We chatted about why she resonates so closely to the messaging of Clash, her romantic story on her very first Cartier piece, and in true Who What Wear fashion, how she would style the collection. It was after chatting with her about how truly versatile every piece in this new collection that I thought to myself, wow, this new Cartier jewelry is going to blow up .

Fast-forward to the days immediately following the trip, and I found myself unable to scroll through Instagram without seeing at least an IG story or static post of an influencer gushing about Clash de Cartier. Whether it be the rings, the hoops, or the more statement-making coral pieces, some of the biggest sartorial icons in the game proved that although fine jewelry, Clash is something you can style any which way you please. And when it comes to anything that requires a bit of an investment, that’s something worth valuing over all else.

Ahead, read my full interview with Kaya Scodelario, shop the Clash de Cartier collection, and see a handful of ways fashion girls are styling the collection right now.

What has the process of being the face of the campaign been like for you? It’s been amazing—it’s been quite a whirlwind. I took a meeting with some of the heads of Cartier in NY and we just had a really good chat and an informal conversation about who I was and what I would bring to the campaign and what the product was. I’ve been very selective about campaigns and endorsements and things like that over the years because I truly believe you need to connect with the company and with the product and be proud to be a part of it. When we were talking, they discussed the fact that me being half Brazilian, half British was something that they really liked and something they thought that the jewelry and the pieces also represented—the kind of duality of that. I’ve never had the opportunity to really celebrate that publically before so I was so excited. It felt really refreshing and like something I could really connect with because I really do feel like I have these two opposing sides to me. You touched on this a little bit, but this collection is all about duality. In the campaign video specifically, what two sides of yourself are you channeling? I’m representing the kind of punk rock, British side of me that loves a pair of vinyl pants and loves an embarrassing dance and the freedom to just let go and be playful and tease. It’s never mean—she’s never the evil character or anything like that—we called her Sasha—she’s a bit fun. She’s out to have fun and to play. And on the other side is your kind of classic going out for the evening, not knowing what to expect kind of gal. She’s taken a lot of time to get ready and select the jewelry that she wants to wear and she’s full of anticipation for the evening. And then in your personal life can you speak to that duality a little more than you already have? I think I go between being on sets and acting and playing really super intense characters and have very physical long days and then suddenly I’m a mother and a wife and a friend. I love nothing more than sitting and having a bottle of wine with my girlfriends and catching up with them and talking to them and listening to them. So I definitely have those two sides of my life. And when I’m at work, when I’m on location, it’s really difficult to keep in touch with people and to not get trapped into this bubble of just being in work mode. So I try to balance that out as much as possible. Do you have a favorite piece from the collection since I’m sure you’ve tried on and played with all of it? I do! All of them! I love the bracelets because they stack really beautifully, but my favorite are actually the hoops. I’ve been obsessed with hoops since I was little. There’s something about wearing a hoop earring that kind of just makes me feel brave and fun and free. And I love these especially because you can wear them in the daytime, they’re very kind of gentle, they’re very light, they’re not painful at all, but they also transition really well into a night look. You’re obviously so dressed up in the video and campaign, but these are also pieces you can wear in your daily life, as you’ve touched on. How would you style the collection—or the hoops since they’re your favorite—for a casual day-to-day look? I mean I love the stacking for during the day. I think there’s something fun about that and it’s still a statement but it’s kind of part of your outfit. It’s part of the experience of the day you’re going to have. For evening, I tend to go a little but more low-key. I like having one piece. I really love wearing the hoops, just one, actually, just in the right ear. For me that feels kind of fresh and fun and unexpected. And I think the jewelry is quite unexpected so I really like playing with that. In that case. would you keep the rest of your outfit simple? I would keep it simple. I love a really nice tailored jacket. I’m British so you always need a jacket at some point in the evening. Yes, just a really nice black outfit. What was your first ever Cartier piece that you owned? My first ever was one that my husband actually bought for me when we were falling in love. When we kind of just met. And it was coming up to Christmas and he had been really secretive for a couple of weeks and I was like oh god, what’s going on? He’s going to break up with me. And the day before Christmas—I don’t know why—but he said can I give you this now? And I said yes and I opened it and it was a Love Bangle that I’d kind of casually mentioned when we very first met. Not even actually dropping a hint, just mentioned how beautiful it was and he bought me the rose gold one and he told me that whilst he was buying it was when he realized he wanted to propose to me. So he sort of weirdly proposed with the love bangle. And then he got me the platinum one as my push present when I had my son. Next up, shop 15 cult brands every fashion girl owns .

Jewelry

"I love wearing jewelry, but not because they are mine. You cannot possess radiance, you can only admire it. ”

Diamonds are a girl's best friend ... or something like that, Marilyn Monroe sang in the musical film 'Blondes preferred' back in 1953. Of course, my daily jewelry does not consist of diamonds - it would be nice but that would neither match my situation in life as a student nor my life as a blogger. Even if they are not diamonds, I love to wear jewelry every day. Some pieces even permanently. In today's article you will read which pieces of jewelry I almost never store, how I store my jewelry and which pieces I would like to invest in in the future.

My everyday jewelry

For 4-5 years I have loved wearing rose gold jewelry, although that is changing a bit and I am currently returning to classic yellow gold. I used to like 'layering' chains, i.e. wearing several chains on top of each other, now I actually only wear a rose gold-plated ball chain (length 50cm) from Thomas Sabo. My ring combo on the left hand is actually the same every day, these are nothing but Thomas Sabo rings, apart from the letter ring, which is from New One. The ring finger of my right hand adorns my birth ring. My dad gave this ring to my mom when I was born on October 12, 1995 and I then gave it to her on my 18th birthday. My personal lucky charm - I won't go out without it!

On my right wrist there are 3 bracelets and a faceted rose gold bracelet that I got for a party. The bracelets are from Fruity.Sky.Love (aviator), ANNAIJ (I Wish ...) and New One (Best Sis). On the left, I usually wear a well-known look-a-like bangle from a small Italian shop (Verona) or on special occasions it can also sparkle a little more.

Other than that, I wear earrings every day and my two beloved New One ear stuffs. Usually they are ear studs, such as pearls or the XOs from SO COSI. In the evening it can also be a little bit more on the ears. I love the thin hoops from New One or the rose gold pendant earrings with red stone from Assauer (Spittelwiese, Linz).

 SHOP MY LOOK

I have a lot of jewelry, mainly fashion jewelry, which I have owned for over 10 years - in other words, when I was young. This is in a jewelry mirror cabinet from Amazon, but will no longer be part of my interior. My daily jewelry is practical and always at hand on a mirrored tray from Zara Home that is placed on my chest of drawers. For traveling and transport I mostly use the jewelry boxes from the manufacturers - currently those from my Chloé ring.

Wish list

In addition to the distant desire to own the Cartier LOVE bracelet in gold at some point, I would also like to buy a classically elegant bicolor watch in the next few years (maybe even for a bachelor's degree). In addition to these very large purchases, I also have a few smaller statement pieces on my jewelry wish list. For example, the Pandora Honeycomb Lace Ring , an incredibly beautiful, gold-plated piece of jewelry. Then I've been looking for a necklace with a safety pin pendant - also in gold. Of course, as a blogger, you can't get past the current shell trend. I find gold creoles with shell pendants or bracelets particularly beautiful. Jewelry classics are of course still necklaces with structured letters, almost in a vintage look. After I travel a lot, I will soon also get a small travel jewelry box. I find Estella Bartlett's super beautiful and particularly practical for everyday jewelry.
