Earthling

Since I would not classify my last post as upbeat, we'll keep this one

as light and airy as a French pastry. There's no denying I have a love

for outfits made up of earthy tones. There's something comforting

about browns and muted greens. Being colours of the forest, it comes

as no surprise they go so well together. Paired with ladylike lace, the

earthy tones seem soft and warm rather than rugged. I find brown and

green to be underrated - hey, there's even the saying no browns after

six. That's just another reason to love autumn, everyone is all about

the earthy tones.

Our Homes Are Their Graves

When eyes gaze upon this land laid to waste the words what you

spend years building may be destroyed overnight never rang more

true. In piles larger than arms can reach lies death. Bloodless, tear-

less, and without a scream came death. Cut open, rings of years past

are visible. This was once a  place where creatures found refuge

beneath and between the trees. It now is a hard place where the wind

is ferocious and the sun beats down relentlessly without mercy. All

that remains are stumps, like lifeless bodies after a war. They are a

reminder of what once was, what could have been. Machines do our

bidding and have caused a disconnection from nature.  Whilom slaves

to the land, we now are a race of conquers and rulers. The sad truth is

we have become the very rulers each of us fear. Our advantage

is our mind's capability, but it also serves as our weakness.

58 Days of Autumn

The temperatures have been steadily decreasing and we even had

flurries for a few hours the other day. Last night as I stood beneath

the velvet-blue starry sky, a wish rolled off my lips and into the wind;

please, I pleaded with Mother Nature, let autumn last just a bit longer. 

I woke to an angry wind that rattled my windows and a brilliant sun that

fought to shine through my curtains this morning and I thought that

Mother Nature had ignored my prayers. But the moment I opened my

door the sun's heat could be felt and the breeze was warm against my

skin. Plus 14 mid-November is a prayer answered in my books,

especially considering my neighbours and their stories of snow!

I'm ever so happy for this long-lasting autumn, it gives me a chance to

wear this ever so autumny skirt - I've been meaning to for a while. This

skirt and I have a love-hate relationship. I love the print, but hate how

my mind draws a blank when attempting to style it. I'm not sure if it's

because there are so many colours or if it's because I have an undying

obsession with matching.
