girlishness

i often wish i could design clothes. but i'll settle for making my own every once in a while.


clothing, for me, is a kind of art form; a direct design response to the human figure. i especially love dresses and skirts, as i feel they exude femininity in a way that nothing else can and also make women look pretty. these are a few things i think are classy and wonderfully girly.




i really like the cut for the neckline and shoulders

this is just a fabulous dress. i want to wear this for dancing where lots of twirling is involved.

if i owned this gorgeousness, i would throw parties for myself just so i could wear it. any girl would feel like a dream in this. it also looks very good for dancing. the sheer ribbon around the waist, and the halter neck...lovely!

i love shoes. i'd have a room full of shoes if i could.

i also love handbags. this one is terribly sweet.

illustration

a lovely illustration from At The Back Of The North Wind by George Macdonald. sometimes i wish i could be an illustrator, but i think i render visualizations of stories in my head much better than on paper most of the time.

a personal illustration for a short story titled Ananda, written by Tim. this is one instance in which something turned out rather well on paper.
