Wardrobe Inventory

Being the neurotic control freak I am, I make lists all the time. My 'piece de résistence' is my Wardrobe Inventory. That's a list, made in Excel, which contains every single piece of clothing and every accessory I own.  Everytime I buy something new, I put the label, a description, the date of purchase and the price in the list. It's a nice project for this summer! :)

I use Excel because it's easy to calculate the total price of  your wardrobe. And I assure you, you'll be shocked.

By making an inventory, you'll discover things of which you didn't even know anymore you had them. It makes you realize how spoiled we are here, in the rich west. We're always complaining about 'having nothing to wear', but actually we have so many pieces we forget about some.

Pottery Class

First of all; School's out for me! :) Coming next, are two months of doing things I choose. I'm planning on making a lot of trips to vintage stores and antique shops. And of course the Italy trip with my parents, maybe a weekend in Venice for the Biennale and a week in France with my aunt.

Yesterday I finally found some time to go collect the result of the pottery class I took some weeks ago. I'm quite proud of it! Not bad bad for a first time don't you think? ;)

A pair of J brand Blue Jeans

With the end of this school year so nearby, and only one year of high school left, my thoughts often go out to my future.

A lot of people ask me 'What are your plans for the future, what  do you want to study?' All I say is something like 'I don't know it  yet, but it'll be probably something creative. Truth is, I do know  what I want. I want to study fashion! And one day I want to be an  art journalist, oh heck, maybe even a designer, an editor at Vogue  or a professional blogger!

Just imagine the reactions  people would give me if I'd say that.  They'd think I'd gone crazy. Not that I really care about people thinking I'm crazy (I AM  crazy), but what bothers me more is the fact that people  immediately think you're stupid and superficial when you say you  like fashion and want to make a profession out of it.

-Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from K-Mart it doesn't mean that you're a dumb person.-

Being a teenage gay boy doesn't help much either. It's so hard not to fall back in stereotypes when you're a gay boy in this century because society almost expects you to. I know, the image of a gay boy, interested in art and fashion isn't very original. But it's who I am.

The world before dawn

It's 4am on a Thursday morning and I'm on Jak and Jil. I didn't manage to fall asleep tonight, and a few minutes ago, I gave it up.

I use the quality time  to catch up on the fashion news I missed the past weeks. When you're days are filled with books and exam stress, checking Tavi or BryanBoy isn't the first thing on your mind.

Actually I always love being awake at these hours. It's something strange. Knowing that you're probably the only one in the neighbourhood who's not sleeping. And together with the others online, you feel connected, in some way.
