Fairy Swag

Necessary repost. It's gorgeous.

Got a little carried away looking up fairy-esque things. But what can I say, the fairies got some serious swag! Always pulling off that bohemian look, able to twist their hair into the most beautiful braids that it could be considered art, and, obviously, the winning factor, them bitchez can fly. 

Oh! And! Stumbled across some illustrations from my very favourite children's book from when I was a wee little thing. No wonder I love fairies, they were everywhere when I was growing up. (Fairly sure my mum thought she had four fairies for kids and not humans anyway. It would explain a lot.)

Here's the tidbits from Fairy Wings.

All about a little fairy born without wings...

GAH! Too beautiful. 

Pretty sure this is exactly what she would look like if she were to grow up to be a human.

GOTCHA with that one, didn't I? Yeah, always had a thing for this guy. Even with sarcasm I can't bring myself to fully say that. Holy shiza, he's gross.

Fairy Tale Dresses

Watch me! Watch me! Watch me!

Well, hello there dresses of my dreams. I'm Miranda. Wonderful to meet you. You shall be my wedding dress. And my sister's wedding dress. And my best friends' wedding dresses. And the bridesmaid dresses for my brothers. Oh, hmph, I guess the wives get to decide. Since when do they get to do that? Needy, needy, needy.

When I first laid eyes on these ethereal, fantastical dresses I almost died. Yes, literally. It's a true story. As my eyes digested each delicate bead, feathery layer of chiffon, and every piece of gold or silver thread intertwined throughout the trim, it became too much to handle. I am writing this from another realm, folks. A realm of fairies. And don't you worry, my death was relatively painless. Here in Fairy Land, our outfit of choice is from among the designs of Trash Couture and our days consist of dancing to the melodic tunes of nature... 

Okay, that's too much even for me.  I'm fairly sure I would go insane if my days only consisted of dancing. However, it does sound nice to escape to that little world for a solid week/month.*

Oh, yes, hello there beautiful jewelry! You too can jump onto my body!

Macha jewelry blows my mind... and seems to go quite well with the whole fairy theme of today.

Fairy Queen Attire

If I were a fairy queen, this is what I would wear on a daily basis...

...this would be my wedding ring...

...and this would be my bathroom. 

Just settle your imagination into that bath for a moment. Banish the idea of one, squeaky shower curtain from your mind. Instead, replace it with four full curtains, framing each side, letting natural light seep through into the water. Let your mind drift away for a much needed treat of relaxation. And then, look up. You see the cheerful and fluffy clouds gently rolling through the sky, and maybe a few birds singing a delightful tune as they pass by. Life is grand.

Alright, reality, simmer down. I'm back.
