My fetish

deathly hallows, 30stm, Alt-J, delta, xxyyxx, road sign, Escher

I'm a pretty boring person right now. School is killing me. Anyways, in a week I'll be less boring because than my holiday starts. Since tomorrow MoBA: fetishism in fashion starts and I've been to the sneak preview, I started thinking about what my fetish is. I've found out that I've got a fetish for triangles. When I yelled something like: Guys, guys, I know what my fetish is: triangleeeeessss! My two friends answered: Are u serious .. So I think everybody knew what my fetish was before I even realized it. So here are some triangle (art) thingies I photographed (or drew) lately. You might have seen some in previous posts.

The triangle is a perfect shape. For the ones who didn't know it yet, I'm a potter head. I think my obsession for triangles started with the deathly hallows sign. I hate it when people  say I'm trying to be a hipster with my triangles. Or when they say that I believe in Illuminati. Yes, I listen to witchhouse and love triangles but that doesn't mean I'm one with the devil. lol. Don't you think the triangle is great?
Enjoy your weekend XOXO Irene

Things I wanted to share with you.

Random picture which I think is beautiful.

ANECDOTE
I just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive. I don't have an outfit post or pictures for you. I just wanted to tell you something, about what is going on.

Today used to be a productive day. I made a whole schedule to keep up with school work. But when I woke up I felt horribly. My throat is sore and I used over 6 boxes of tissues today. Today my mom also recognized that I have a second ear pierce. I have it for one month now, but she haven't seen it the whole time. Lol. 

CHANGE

Since lately, I realized I started wearing more and more dark colors. I know that I always used to say that I hate wearing dark. (My wardrobe was always for 95% printed en colorful stuff. Now it is lowered to fifty/fifty). The one half of my wardrobe is black, grey and white and the other half is filled with flower patterns and colorful stuff. My style changed a lot. I wear what I want to wear. 

Last year I didn't dare to wear darker colors because everybody recognized me as that extremely colorful girl. (This might sound weird because a lot of people don't dare to wear extreme colors like I did...)  I thought that the colorful me, was the 'real me' But than I thought: If I want to wear more edgier and soft grungy stuff, why don't I just do that? 

I think that when you wear/do what you want, that is the real you. Not the thought of: oh shit people say that that's what I'm like, so yeah, I have to pretend to be like that. I don't really give a shit if people accept me, it's better to accept yourself first. And I did. 

I'm not turning into an emo like wearing all over black, I just wear more edgier stuff:  black Doc's instead of neon Nikes. A leather jacket instead of tweed. More pastels instead of neon etc. But I also want to combine those two ends. I want to find the balance between overly printed and pastel stuff and rocky black leather. Still experimenting with that.

MOBA
What I haven't told yet, is that I'm volunteering at the Mode Biennale in Arnhem, as well known as MoBA. Two days ago all the volunteers came together for a presentation about how the exhibition would look like. It's going to be A M A Z I N G. The whole concept is made-up by trend forecaster Lidewij Edelkort. Main theme this year: Fetishism in Fashion. That's all which I can tell.
I feel a little bit honored to be a volunteer. It's great to see how things go in that world. The exhibition will be from the 9th of June till the 21st of July. For more information you can visit: www.moba.nu
This is a little impression how it'll be like:

I hope anyone will read this. And when you have read this, I hope you liked it. I'm craving vanilla soy milk at the moment. It's really tasty, I would recommend it to all of you. Yes, I'm random.

XOXO Irene

MAY HAUL

James Blake's first album/ Forever 21 sunnies / John Green's 'A fault in our stars'

It's rainy and windy. My last purchases were all dark colored and not very summer-ish but that doesn't matter in this weather. Although I'm still craving summer.  On days like this, I like to watch silly youtube movies, read a book and take pictures. and of course listening a lot of music (today Bon Iver but I've actually listened to James Blake for the whole week) Do you know those lucky moments when you come home of a long day at school and you see a package with your name on it? It happened to me twice this week. In the first package there was a book of John Green which I won ( that made it even better because I didn't have to pay for it) I've read the book in 3 days and It made me realize why I love reading. I would recommend it to everyone! In the second package there were my - finally after 4 years of craving and not having enough money to buy them- DR MARTENS. I'm so fucking happy with them. Anyways, here are other items which I bought last month.

H&M galaxy dress / Asos (men) backpack / Forever 21 necklace

Ode to Alt-J

Triangles are still my favorite shape and I'm back with finally: An outfit post! And I'm back with more knowledge. You're might wondering why I started with: 'triangles are my favorite shape' what Joe Newman sings in Tessellate. After have listened more than 14 hours to Alt-J (the album is 41.15 minutes and I've listened it more than 20 times I think, so 41.15x20= 823 minutes and 832:60=13,72 which is nearly 14 hours of pleasure) and have discussed the lyrics with several co fans, I decided that Alt-J is great. Not in the 'Yeahh, I like their music' way. I adore them. Those guys are geniuses. 

Their songs are puzzles. The lyrics are written in a kind of way you would think that they were spoken out by a drug addicted math teacher who loves history, films and literature and the music is rare indie with folk, dubstep, trip hop influences. I've analysed nearly all their songs and every song refers to literature or films. It took me 3 months to finally get what they meant with Tessellate. Two days ago I found out that 'Taro' (one of my fav songs) is about the wife of war photographer Robert Capa: Gerda Taro. The song is about Capa who lost his leg because of a grenade in the Indochina war and died and how Taro is left alone on this world without her love. It's great how they tell such a sad story in a song with so much energy and swingy mandolin sounds. The most awesome part of Taro is when he randomly says Pi (3.1415) out of nowhere.

I lost my head.

So after have told you about my fascination I'm going on with telling you something about what I'm wearing (which has nothing to make with Alt-J..) I've got this leather jacket in Prague at H&M kids. It is less expensive and I've been wanting a leather jacket for soooo long now. The shirt is made by myself. I found that scarf-ish fabric on the market for just 2 euros or so. All the photos are taken by Sam and photo shopped by me. I really missed editing photos.
Enjoy your weekend and listen to Alt-J!
XOXO Irene
