The City is a Song.

                                                                                                    The City is a Song

The city is a song,
Skyscraper tips climbing to crescendo highs,
A forte horn's blare, a manhole's hiss, that stranger's appraising stare
All help shape the noisy symphonic form
Gliding con moto through polluted air.

The city is a song
Ripe with dulce tones: like
A friend's sweet alacrity and unwavering support,
Sounding clear and true. Fresh like yesterday
Even though long gone,
A gentle heartbeat that pulses and thrums
Fading slowly amidst ever-towering walls of concrete.

The city is a whispered song, pianissimo lures, trailing off
Daring, winking, inexorably beckoning
At slow andante paces.
Promises of greatness tucked quietly into loaded moments
That haven't even happened yet.
A few spectacular seconds of courage
Curled tightly, into new smuggled spots, waiting
To be unfurled once more
By a city that you thought you already knew.

Within the city's prickly confines
A melody soars, clear and bright
Molto rubato, at a rhythmic pace
For you to keep up.
For you to feed your heart,
For you to splinter your heart.
And curiously, for you to always dream again
For as long as your insides, now made into rough steely wool, can hold out.
For this is a dreamer's city: tattered and abrasive, yet fiercely celebrated as
A city of most uncanny melodies.
Broken, whole, coursing so strong
An anthem forged together from this city's many harmonies
Of countless songs.

Sweet Treats.

Instead of bemoaning how utterly late I am to post these pictures (you can thank the @#$! upcoming holiday season, which is already upon me + my li'l RL jewelry biz), I'll settle for showing you some sweet finds from the latest round of Collabor88, which I paired with the newest sleek fedora hat hair by Truth + these freakin' fabby ankle boots + leather-strapped stockings by JD that you can (hopefully still) nab for free (e.g., 1 of the nicest free finds this year to date).

And sometimes orange jelly beans are just tres necessary in life. Hehe.

If you don't know creator Charming Meiler's u.f.o. brand by now, you should absolutely go scoopie this uber-feminine, belted sweaterdress at Collabor88, which is both long + short enough to wear together with jeans (or you just go undies for a nottie look). 'Specially with Halloween around the corner, I couldn't resist some sweet treats from Candy Fair (talk about late; today is the last day of the fair, so go now!); this is a confectionary-themed shopping event (featuring many gatcha booths) that you can read more about via the official blog here. -- Btw, never bring ghosties with you for trick-or-treating. They luhs to gloat about how spooky their costumes are. Plus they steal all your candy when you're not looking. Le grrr.

Can you believe Halloween is just around the corner? Sweet treats love + fashionista kisses to all!

Hello Moto.

Ricielli has released some lushly textured, exceptionally detailed (check the teensy zippers!) new separates out for Avenue Fashion Week, which I've mixed & matched for today's casual look here. Some oversized pear-shaped jewels, heavy-lidded glossy eye makeup + even some face moles (some by me, some by Glam Affair) made this look a tad sultry today. Plus this fleece-lapeled denim jacket is now something I'm hunting for in RL (gee thanks Fhara)! That woman is the fashionista devil, I tell ya.

The real star of this look is these oh-so-meticulously-painted crinkly pants (check out the trademark motorcycle bike crinkles around the knees), with an absolutely fabby bronze-gold sheen, which looks smokin' against this gray-black leather. The next time I'm not stuck at home living the uber-fast-paced life a still-new puppy mom, I'm most def gonna be sporting these to da club. Hehe.

Hello Moto love + fashionista kisses to all!

xoxo

Rainbow Road.

Mo' bunnies, mo' trouble.

My new furry friends insisted that I dress like them today (in return, they tipped me off about this fabby pink bunneh iphone gatcha by the newly re-opened VCO store, that you can visit via the Styling Credits below). They even showed me their secret vegetable stand, where they like to steal carrots + such when no one's looking, so I felt a li'l special. Hehe.

I even managed to score some free bread loaves at the cute cafe around the corner.

Here's hoping that you encounter your own fortuitous circumstances today. Rainbow road love + fashionista kisses to all!
