I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests

Hi!

I know I have completely disappeared from the blog. It's a little hard to shoot and post as much as I would like to. I guess I've been busy with life in general, but I have been active on Instagram, so if you ever want to know what I'm up to while I'm away from the blog, you can find me there (@milkyinstant).

I have done a little bit of traveling since my last post: I went to New Orleans, Houston, Portland, Miami, and some Caribbean islands (in Honduras, Mexico, Belize and Cayman Islands). I've had a pretty good year so far and hope it stays that way. After last year, it was only fair.

I am debating whether or not I should post pictures from my trips. They were all taken with my phone so the quality is not the best.

Moving on to what really matters in this post: the pictures. I met with Melissa at the Arnold Arboretum for this shoot. If you don't live in Boston, let's just say we met at a very magical place. This arboretum is what fairytales are made of.

I wore this beautiful jumpsuit from Lavish Alice. It is one of my favorite clothing pieces, and it definitely is a showstopper.

jumpsuit: Lavish Alice

I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls 

with clean blood

and organized drawers.

I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests

at night when no one else is alive

or awake

however you choose to see it

and I live in my own flames

sometimes burning too bright and too wild 

to make things last

or handle myself 

or anyone else

and so I run.

Run run run

far and wide

until my bones ache and lungs split

and it feels good.

Hear that people? It feels good

because I am the slave and ruler of my own body

and I wish to do with it exactly as I please

dress to top

Hi guys!

I know. It's been way too long. I'm sorry again. You know I hate being away for so long but I can't help it right now.

You've seen me post about AKA Clothing a couple of times already. Yep... I love their stuff. It's pretty obvious. The top I'm wearing on this post is actually a dress (you probably already knew that because you follow me on Instagram, right?). I wore it everywhere during summer and now that we're into fall, I wear it as a top. A LOT!

dress: AKA (they don't have the black and white version on their website anymore, but you can find the pink version here), rings: Lune and Luck (here and here), jeans: f21 old, shoes: Asos.

Did you see my moon/star and snake rings from Lune and Luck? They are only £3.50 each and ship worldwide. I wear them every single day, and my favorite part is that they are adjustable so you can turn them into midi rings too. 

Let me know if you find any rings at Lune and Luck that you like. If I could I would own them all!

Hi guys!

I am SO sorry for being gone for so long! I got a new job and it's been really hard to shoot/post. 

If you follow me on Instagram you've already probably seen a sneak peek of this post (and if you don't, you need to be following me now because you're missing out on some serious funness). 

 This is the third look of the series Nathalia and I did for the Fall/Holiday collection by The House of Findings. Shooting this was really fun and we crashed into a lot of things. We thought we would get kicked out at some point, but guess what? We didn't. I guess we're professional supermarket models now!

This is the second look of the series Nathalia, from Style by Nathalia, and I did in collaboration with The House of Findings.

These two looks have a lot of crochet, embellishments, fringes and sparkles going on. Possibly my favorite from this Fall/Holiday collection series.

VELVET renaissance

One of the trends I feel most passionate about, this Fall, is the Velvet revival. Velvet being such a delicate and glamorous material, has the capability of dressing up any autumn outfit. I am really excited to finally get my velvety pants out of my closet!

These are some of my favorite takes on this Fall trend.

Velvet and leather studded sandals by Jason Wu (find here)

Velvet top by Comme des Garçons (find here)

Velvet dress by Peter Pilotto (find here)

and of course, the Versace velvet coat! (find here)

What is your take on this trend? 

Besos, 

Angela
