My London Love

My ASOS package has arrived from London. I have found myself missing London so much lately, a part of my heart and who I am will always be tied to that city. It is such an inspiring city to me, Europe in general really, so although I cannot travel to my beloved London I can certainly still shop from London! A few clocks, a concerning phone call from my bank to confirm an international purchase, a week of patience and it is finally here. Obviously I am feeling the spike thing lately when it comes to accessories, I like to think of it more along the lines that this is my timeless style and it just happens to be in fashion right now, so I am working on my personal inventory. 

Tonight I will take my London items out on the town for drinks with friends to celebrate their arrival to California. It makes me feel a little more connected to the city that I love so much, like I received a love letter or something. Tonight I will dream of Europe and London and these items are a reminder to me that in my own way, I will always be connected to it. To me, this is what fashion is all about...a story, a place, a time in your life...a connected experience really! 

Unique Edges and Memories

When I was about 11 years old my Buddhist Priest saw my piercings and told me that these holes in your body allow your energy to drain out like waterfalls. He shook his little finger at me and told me, "No more holes" smiled and walked away to leave me with these thoughts. While I always contemplated information that he gave to me, I always filtered through what it was that I would accept as right for me and what I felt was better left for others. Maybe it was vanity that made me reject this information from my priest, probably so, as I have always loved piercings. In fact, I pierced my ear in this exact same spot in London in 2002. I dont have an earring in that spot now, but the scar leaves me to remember two things that make me smile; London and the politely rejected advice from my gentle advisor. To me, this is what piercings are all about. They should remind you of a moment in time, of someone special, a triumph, or of a place near and dear to your heart. And my little hole reminds me of a city I adore and a little sweet man shaking his finger at me in love.
