for atelier indigo+tim walker

Hi you guys! So I write for this amazing magazine called Atelier Indigo, and it's an online magazine with writers and models from all over the fashion blogger hemisphere. We just launched our first issue, so please check it out HERE. It's a pretty dang cool magazine, and I'm the cover model. I also wrote an article, which looking back, kind of sucks. But the magazine is still amazing and full of creative genius! The theme for June's issue was dreams/fairy tales, so here is a surreal/dreamy inspiration post, which basically just consists of Tim Walker photos and short films.

Here are some screenshots I took of my favorite moments from the video.

Oh my god. I could seriously just watch this again and again. It's so perfect and amazing and emotion inducing and the old man is so lovable and the girl is just like amazing and it's all so beautiful and the aesthetics are amazing and HOLY CRAP. I need this. I want to see the full length version so bad! I'm going to make a t-shirt that says The Lost Explorer in honor of the best short film trailer I've ever seen, and in honor of the best movie that I'll ever see once I see it. I am The Lost Explorer.

let me be strange

I had this huge phase in the beginning of my freshman year/this year where I was just this utterly and completely strange/awkward mishmosh of shit. But this shit that I was was enjoyable! I was an enjoyable collection of shit. I'd wear weird things to school, and do wear things with my hair, and say weird things, and do weird things, and act weird. And I wasn't trying to be weird. I was just like, naturally capable of being super weird. Which is funny, because I'm actually quite capable of being quite normal. I think I'd rather be super strange than super average though. It's like, I want to fit in, but I don't want to fit in by fitting in, I want to fit in by being different and special and being who I am, and people respecting that and liking me for that reason.

painting done by my grandma (RIP) and some cool Carrie picture that is awesome.

My aunts/uncle/cousins made me/my family some Ukrainian dyed eggs a few Hanukkahs ago. They're super amazing, and I have my own kit now. It's really fun. The brown football is my brothers, the yellow/red one is mine, the weird one is one I made like, 3 years ago, and the snowflake is my moms. My dad's egg broke, but it had music notes on it.

More awesome eggs that I/my dad/my brother have made. My brothers is the grey/purple-ish one in the front. My dad is the scribble-y one, and then the other two are mine. The eggs are hollow because we pumped out all the yoke and egg-y stuff.

My grandma gave me that black sheep! I love it.
