SYDNEY SWEENEY at the 2022 LACMA Art + Film Gala on November 5th 2022 wearing GIAMBATTISTA VALLI COUTURE

Sydney has been MIA for a bit, so it was exciting to see her at this event. I wasn’t super impressed with the craftsmanship of this look, but I did like how fun and youthful it felt. But it was almost a bit too youthful.

Since this look was couture, I was disappointed in the craftsmanship of the dress. The rosette sleeves are beautiful, but the left sleeve looks like some are detached in places. It looks like something that should've been fixed before Sydney walked the red carpet.

I did like how girlie this look was. I think it's a very different choice than what Sydney usually wears. I liked that she wore her hair up, since the sleeves had so much volume and detail. I wish she went full bubble gum pink and wore matching shoes, instead of the silver glitter platforms.

acotar character headcannons: perfume

in case yall were wondering, i sat my perfume tray sniffing everything i owned and matching it to characters 

also !! i have sniffed every single one of these fragrances in store and the ones i own to write this! Some of them i really love, some i like, some i loathe. 

(if anyone ever wants to talk about perfume my dms are open im a perfume nut) 

azriel: he loves sweet and fruity. his personal favorite is a straight up juicy almond-y cherry scent. 

fine’ry not another cherry (the dupe for tom ford’s lost cherry (and it lasts longer than tom ford!!)) 

snif co tart deco

kate spade cherie 

cassian: pure. vanilla. I'm telling you the most strong men crumble at vanilla. Frankly everyone does but that’s another story. 

byrosiejane dulce 

dossier floral marshmallow (dupe for kilian love don’t be shy).  

ellis brooklyn bee 

rhysand: he loves sweet violet scents. Violet is a darker, richer note. It’s sweet and dewy but not overpowering. It's home. 

dolce and gabbana’s the only one 

sol de janeiro 59 

fine’ry magnetic candy 

feyre: a baked good. if you smell like a baked good she’s on the floor. While she loves a plain vanilla, she also loves a more complex, unique scent on you. It makes you easier to find in crowds and a part of her loves watching people crumble at your feet because of your scent and then seeing that you’re always gonna go home with her. 

snif co’s crumb couture 

nest madagascar vanilla 

replica coffee break

morrigan: she loves sweet and fruity as well, but her vice is strawberry. she likes when you smell like a delicious baked strawberry cake with vanilla frosting. she also is a sucker for lychee and rose scents. 

bath and body works strawberry pound cake

ouai’s melrose place 

kayali’s eden sparkling lychee  

amren: she’s not one for strong scents, she gets headaches and irritated. But she loves when your natural scent has a hint of something. Very clean smelling. 

clean reserve’s radiant nectar 

replica matcha meditation 

jo malone london nectarine blossom and honey

nesta: rain, earth, musk. She loves to smell that fresh just cracked open a book, dark academia type smells. It’s very homey to her and reminds her of peace. Which, the poor woman does not get often. 

replicas when the rain stops 

phlur missing person 

juliette has a gun not a perfume 

elain: she loves flowery/fruity smells or you smelling more masculine with flower notes. She loves lavender on you specifically, 

ariana grande god is a woman 

snif co’s house of 8 

phlur mood ring 

lucien: he loves citruses. specifically the smell of tangerines/oranges. He loves when you smell like a juicy, sun-drenched orange in the summer. 

phlurs’ tangerine boy 

dolce and gabanna’s devotion 

nest seville orange 

eris: like azriel (azris lol) he loves a cherry scent but his favorite is a darker cherry. He loves when you smell woody and fruity. Something dark and decadent. He’s also a rum guy. 

kayali’s lovefest burning cherry 

replica’s jazz club 

kilian paris angel share

tarquin: this man loves beachy and summer. He likes that lighter sea breezy citrusy scents but also the sweet tropical ones as well. 

replica’s beach walk 

dolce and gabbana light blue

♡ FILMS FOR FAUNLET FASHION INSPO ♡

~~Got bored so compiled this (pretty extensive) list of film references for faunlet style and aesthetics, might be helpful for anyone looking to delve into and develop their style. Don't take this as some kind of gospel, it's just a bunch of movies and shows that I think can be useful reference points. My personal style and taste for example is a huge mix and amalgalm of stuff I see, from movie characters to paintings, books, comics, cartoons, music videos, haute couture collections, K- and J-idols, BJD dolls, even elements and staples from female fashion that I kind of genderflip or just outright mix into and merge with my own "masculine"/boyish/whatever faunlet fits. I think the secret to finding your style is to never limit yourself & always be creative (& clever ofc)! ♡

Feel free to suggest and tell me some of your personal films/shows that inspire you the most. I'm sure I forgot some stuff >.> Hope this helps somewhat lolol

WARNING: A LOT OF THESE HAVE MATURE THEMES AND +18 STUFF, SO DO RESEARCH BEFORE WATCHING AND PROCEED AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION, CAUTION & RESPONSIBILITY!

Melmoth furieux by Sabrina Calvo

goodreads

Elle est née à l’Orée du bois, une cité réduite à néant par les bulldozers des médias et de la finance. Hantée par les ruines de son Eden foiré, elle a rejoint la commune solidaire à Belleville, où l’on s’organise et lutte en marge du système répressif. Elle, c’est Fi. Quarante piges à tenter de trouver de la beauté dans ce monde fatal : Fi est un chaos de fils et d’aiguilles, de coutures impossibles. Car Fi est couturière. Et Fi est en colère. Quand son frère Mehdi s’est immolé le jour de l’inauguration d’Eurodisney – le 12 mars 1992 – elle s’est juré de comprendre son geste. Elle a entendu les rumeurs sur l’ancien parc devenu véritable camp de concentration, les horreurs qu’on raconte sur les enfants emprisonnés. Elle ne rêve que de tout brûler. Mais on fait comment quand on est coincée dans un quartier assiégé par une police républicaine hors de contrôle et que reviennent se venger les spectres d’un événement sanglant ? Aidée par le mystérieux François Villon, ami d’enfance de Mehdi et clé des secrets du parc, Fi se lance dans l’impossible – la trouille au ventre, prête à remuer les tréfonds de cet enfer : monter une croisade d’enfants pour partir raser Eurodisney. Pour débusquer le rongeur dans sa forteresse noire, maître invisible d’une doc-trine totalitaire. Dans le merveilleux d’une robe magique, les émotions pour tissus, Fi va libérer l’imagination.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this one yet, but I am pleading with publishers to translate this into english, it sounds so interesting!

Emmie has a new dress, and had to show it off immediately. Now she can fit in better with the “big girls” on my desk, who are dressed in plaid and red. 

My Wellie Wishers often get overlooked when I’m sewing, and I felt bad that Emmie had to stay hidden away while her big brother, Paul, was out as part of the Christmas party scene. I printed out the Empire silhouette dress pattern by Eden Ava Couture at a reduced size and it fits quite well. I added a sash to it to fit a little more closely and add a girly touch.

Le dernier été en ville, Gianfranco Calligarich, 1973

La critique du Devoir l’a coté **** 1/2, parlant d’un chef d’oeuvre de mélancolie. Édité une première fois en 1973, c’est seulement après son achat par Gallimard en 2019 que ce roman culte en Italie devient accessible au reste du monde.

Les descriptions de la Rome éternelle se superposent donc pour le lecteur d’aujourd’hui à l’observation d’une époque révolue, celle du miracle économique italien suivant la deuxième guerre mondiale. Notre regard erre avec Léo dans des salons aux allures d’esplanades, parés de moquettes et de sofas immenses, d’où émergent des conversations vaines sous allures de mots d’esprit. Pique assiette de bonne société, vieux peintre à succès habillé en hippie, journaliste de gauche, « mannequin de haute-couture amoureuse d’un photographe homosexuel, aristocrate déchue amoureuse d’un pilote d’Alitalia que personne n’avait jamais vu. »; la faune est bigarrée, souvent nocturne, pas tout à fait ensemble, oisive. Rome est en effervescence.

Notre héros tombe sous les charmes de la précieuse Ariana, fausse étudiante en architecture aux répliques désinvoltes.

Se cache dans cette indolence et cette désinvolture une cruauté assassine qui finira par achever Léo, du reste amoché par des successions de cuites chroniques auxquelles il tente de mettre fin en vain. Mélancolie? C’est bien joli, mais c’est peut-être surtout d’auto-destruction qu’il s’agit.

Pourtant nous aimons avec Léo les ballades dans Rome. Ses réveils seul dans des appartements de filles rencontrées la veille, où il s’attarde en prenant un bain et en se faisant un café. Nous sommes blottis avec lui au cinéma du quartier, écoutant la pluie tomber sur le toit et imaginant dehors les fontaines débordantes d’eau. Dans la torpeur de ses rues et de ses images poétiques.

Sa fin à la Martin Eden nous fait réaliser trop abruptement la profondeur de son désespoir.

« J’étais au bout du rouleau, à vrai dire. Voilà, c’est tout. Comme je l’ai dit, je n’en veux à personne. J’ai eu mes cartes en main et je les ai jouées. Personne ne m’y obligeait. Je n’ai pas de regrets. Je pense à comment aurait été ma vie si ce matin-là quand tout a commencé je n’avais pas trouvé la pluie ou si j’avais eu de l’argent en poche et tout le reste, mais je n’arrive à imaginer rien de particulier. Je pense, ça oui, à ma ville, à la nôtre (..) Je pense au premier poisson qui survécut à l’abandon des eaux, en se débattant et en nous engendrant. Je pense que tout conduit à la mer. La mer qui accueille tout, tous les êtres qui n’ont jamais réussis à naître et ceux qui sont morts pour toujours. Je pense au jour où le ciel s’ouvrira et où, pour la première fois ou encore une fois, ils trouveront leur légitimité. »

Pour la première fois, notre héros nous livre sa pensée. Mais il est trop tard. La savante succession des observations, des souvenirs et des scènes, à laquelle l’auteur nous avait habitués, est soudainement tronquée. Le texte reste beau mais le ton semble étranger.

Un livre qui donne envie de revoir La dolce vitta de Fellini, pour voir si là aussi un envoûtement rampant est tapi.

#Scentoftheday round-up from last week, gold or dark was clearly (unintentionally) the theme! Plus all were Christian Dior except for one day! Sidenote, I could easily do a full week or two with just Dior, was thinking of solely doing La Collection Privee too as I have many samples and miniatures from this collection now.

L to R; Dune EDT, La Collection Privee Dioriviera EDP worn with Eden-Roc EDP, Dior Addict EDP, J'adore Infinissime EDP, Moschino Gold Fresh Couture EDP worn with Versace Crystal Noir EDT, Poison Girl EDT and Joy EDP.
