OUTFIT | PAIN PAIN GO AWAY COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY


I'm having a little hard time with life at the moment.
I started feeling down in January but thought it was just jet-lag, hormones, winter, whatever. And then I had this massive nosebleed in Istanbul when my sister was sleeping and I thought "oh, so anemia is back, that's why I've been feeling down". But it clearly wasn't just that. Followed a marathon of shifts, mostly overnight that left me completely drained. Winter was still there so this meant I barely saw light of day for a week and I paid the price for it. My circadian cycle was all over the place, I was so sleep deprived, my body didn't understand when was a good time to eat so I was on a two-meals-a-day diet, hungry all the time except when I actually had food in front of me. And then boom, my periods hit for the second time in three weeks. Something is wrong. My hormones are all over the place. And when hormones are all over the place, it shows up there. And things that shouldn't necessarily trigger me did: friends having dark thoughts needing help, podcasts about sexual assault, conflict with colleagues... And now I'm down. I have not been in such a dark place in more than a year. I made SO MUCH progress last year with dealing with my depression - even though social anxiety peaked as a result - but I feel like now is the right time after 5 years to make an appointment with my therapist. I feel like I am now ready to open up to her more than I ever did and finally fix the issue that's been killing me slowly for twenty years.


I know there are a lot of pictures and I always hated when bloggers did that but I need to be feeling myself at the moment.
Also look at my amazing brows. I went to the salon and the lady completely messed them up but I fixed them with my Benefit product.
Thank goodness for makeup sometimes tbh.

WISHLIST | SPRING / BIRTHDAY

My 26th (OH MY GOSH) birthday is coming soon so I thought I should gather ideas. Seems like I'm still 16 - which is exactly what a grown person scared to get old would say...

Mon 26ème (OH PUTAIN) anniversaire arrive à grande vitesse et je me suis dit qu'il était temps de rassembler des idées de cadeaux. D'après cette liste, j'ai encore 16 ans. Mais bon c'est exactement ce que disent tous les vieux qui essaient de se rassurer.

CLOTHES


Disco pants ; Metallic Leggings American Apparel

Such a shame that American Apparel went bankrupt exactly when I could afford buying stuff from them. I've been crushing on their black disco pants (I had a similar pair from Primark but sadly had to throw them away when they went bad) FOR YEARS. I know they would perfectly fit since I already own a pair of riding pants from them. And their leggings ! Ô they would go with everything in my wardrobe, especially loose tees and my pair of Creepers... But I now have to go through their US website since they shut down the EU one. Fuck.

Quel dommage qu'American Apparel ait fermé toutes ses boutiques justement au moment où j'avais enfin les moyens de m'offrir leurs pièces. Je lorgne les disco pants noirs (j'en avais une paire excellente de chez Primark mais elle a fini par rendre l'âme) depuis des années. Je sais qu'ils m'iraient parfaitement bien puisque je possède déjà une paire de riding pants de la marque. Et leurs leggings ! Ils iraient avec toutes mes fringues, surtout mes t-shirts larges et mes Creepers. Mais il faut désormais passer par le site américain puisqu'ils ont fermé leur site européen...



Just TAKE MY MONEY ! My birthday will be as joyful as Drop Dead clothes. Ô my, check out these cuts ! Tell me who I should transfer my money to !

PRENEZ MON ARGENT ! Mon anniversaire sera aussi joyeux que les slogans sur les vêtements Drop Dead. Non mais vous avez vus ces coupes ?! Je fais le virement où ?!


Depuis le temps que j'attends ça... J'ai découvert AFI quand j'avais 15 ans et ce groupe - surtout cet album "Sing The Sorrow" - a sauvé ma vie au sens propre. Ayant découvert le groupe quand il commençait à tomber aux oubliettes, il a toujours été compliqué de trouver du merchandising - vous connaissez ma passion pour le t-shirt de groupes - surtout du merchandising de cet album. J'ai un t-shirt sauvegardé dans ma wishlist Ebay depuis des années mais je n'ai toujours pas franchi le cap. J'ai trouvé un t-shirt AFI à Hot Topic à Los Angeles mais il me faut VRAIMENT celui de "Sing The Sorrow".

I've been waiting for this for so long... I first fell in love with AFI when I was 15 and this band - especially the "Sing The Sorrow" album - literally saved my life. Because I found out about them when they were beginning to fall out, it has always been hard to find merch - you know my obsession with band tees - especially "Sing The Sorrow" merch. There's one tee saved in my Ebay wishlist for years but I still have not bought it. I found an AFI tee in Hot Topic in Los Angeles but I NEED this one.

MUSIC


Depuis que j'ai récupéré ma chaîne hi-fi je ne jure que par les disques. J'ai envie d'acheter tout plein de disques, sans aucune honte: "The Spark" d'Enter Shikari, "Avril Lavigne"... d'Avril Lavigne, les albums de Bring Me The Horizon qu'il manque, "ARTPOP" et "The Fame" de Lady Gaga, tous les albums de Kid Cudi, ceux d'Ellie Goulding aussi, l'album d'Harry Styles...

Ever since I got my stereo back, I've been willing to buy so many records. No shame: Enter Shikari's "The Spark", Avril Lavigne's "Avril Lavigne", all the Bring Me The Horizon records I do not already own, Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" and "The Fame", every single Kid Cudi album out there in the universe, the first two Ellie Goulding albums, Harry Styles' album...



Puisque c'est bientôt la saison des festivals, voici la liste de ceux où j'aimerais me rendre: Lollapalooza Paris, We Love Green, Download Festival (France ou UK), Rock En Seine, Lovebox, Reading ou Leeds. Voilà ça fera à peu près 1000€. Salut.

Since festival season is ready to kickstart, here's the list of the ones I'd like to attend: Lollapalooza Paris, We Love Green, Download Festival (France or UK), Rock en Seine, Lovebox, Reading or Leeds. That's a total of 1000£ more or less. Buh bye.



If I could also get a job, an appartment and a husband, that'd be cool. Thanks.
Si je pouvais aussi avoir un boulot, un appart et un mari, se serait cool. Cimer.

SEPTEMBER 2017 INSPIRATION + WISHLIST

Voilà ce que j'ai réuni en terme d'inspiration sur les Internets ces trois derniers mois. J'ai fais une fixette sur le style très 90s de Melissa Joan-Hart/Sabrina L'Apprentie Sorcière. Je voulais faire un article #WomanCrushWednesday sur elle comme j'en ai fait un sur le style de Fran Fine mais je n'ai pas trouvé assez de contenu sur Tumblr donc j'ai lâché l'affaire.
This is what I gathered in terms of inspiration on the world wide web the last three months. I had a Melissa Joan-Hart/Sabrina The Teenage Witch phase, I basically wanted to write a #WomanCrushWednesday post about her, just like I did with Fran Fine as her style is typically 90s. But I couldn't find much on Tumblr so I just gave up.

Quand sur Facebook, DropDead a publié les premières photos de cette collection, j'ai perdu la tête. Ceux qui me suivent sur Instagram l'ont probablement vu sur Instastory. Donc bon, si quelqu'un se sent d'âme généreuse et veut m'offrir les trois pièces: merci.
When DropDead published the first photos of this set I lost my mind. If you follow me on Instagram, you probs have seen it on Instastory. So if anyone feels generous and wants to buy me the whole set: thank you.

Qu'est-ce qui vous fait craquer en Septembre?
What do you have your eyes on for September ?

OUTFIT | Purple Swag

J'espère vraiment que ce kid fera la première partie de Drake à Bercy. Lui ou The Weeknd serait parfait...
Après un look rock dans l'article précédent, me revoilà avec un autre look à mi-chemin entre le rock et le hip-hop. J'ai pour ça ressorti un vieux tee-shirt qui date de ma période emo (décidément) et l'ai porté avec mes nouvelles sneakers Addidas acquises pendant les soldes.
After a rock outfit in the last blog post, I am back with a new one halfway between rock and hip-hop. That's why I am wearing an old tee from my emo phase along with my new Adidas sneakers I bought during the sales.

Le jean quant à lui est encore plus ancien que le tee-shirt, je l'avais acheté pendant les soldes à Marseille il y a 4 ans mais rapidement le bouton avait lâché et j'ai procrastiné à mort avant de le remplacer il y a quelques semaines...
This pair of jeans is way older than the tee. I bought them in Marseille during the sales about 4 years ago but the button fell and I procrastinated to replace it until two weeks ago...

Le hoodie, vous le connaissez déjà, va falloir que j'arrête de le sortir aussi souvent mais je l'adore, il s'accorde avec tout! Vous êtes priés de me pardonner mon visage bouffi et mes expressions de psychopathe, je n'étais absolument pas fraîche quand j'ai pris ces photos...
You already know that hoodie. I have to stop wearing it but I looooove it, it goes with everything ! Please do not mind my puffed up face and my psychopath facial expressions, I wasn't fully awake when I took these pictures...
