i've been driving alone out to the edge of town, i've been thinking too much of you

hello beautiful people (:

first of all i'd like to wish you all a very happy new year! have you made any new years resolutions? i haven't, for the first time in like 6 years... i'm pretty much okay with my life right now i guess, haha.
i'm moving to my first flat next month and finally decided on what i want to do: fashion design! pretty relieved now that i've made a decision!

the title of this post is a line from safer in the forest/love song for poor michigan by la dispute, one of my favourite bands. if you don't know them, you should definitely check them out. THEY KICK ASS! also, make sure to check out this live session, it's breathtaking!!

 the photos, again, where taken some time ago, there's going to be some new photos soon, promise! i still love this outfit though, if i had to give you an example of my typical style it'd be something like this i think.

plaid shirt - h&m (men's section)
nirvana sweater - h&m

shorts - levi's/diy/thrifted
tights - birthday gift from a friend
stockings - h&m
shoes - dr martens

XOXO

IT'S SO RELIEVING TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE LEAVING

the title is from a nirvana song once again.. sorry if I'm boring you, I just LOVE nirvana so much!

and here's the look:

plaid shirt: h&m (men's section) 

t-shirt: h&m (men's section) 

belt: thrifted

flag shorts: topshop 

stockings: h&m 

wedges: buffalos

what else is there to say.. I can't remember where I bought the tights.. oh, and that's my cat jelly belly in the photos!:)

h&m band shirts... cool or not!?

today I saw a pretty awesome michael jackson tee at h&m, and I've really wanted a michael jackson tee for years since I'm a big fan.. I didn't buy it though because soon probably half of the school will be wearing the same shirt and that isn't cool, is it!?

the same thing happens all the time: nirvana, the stones, the doors, the clash, jimi hendrix ... I would rate all those among my favourite bands, and I did buy some of the shirts but only in the men's section because not a lot of girls at my school wear men's shirts and the boys don't shop at h&m a lot.

but the girls' shirts - which are awesome, really! - are always worn by half of the girls at my school, often even by like 6 graders who don't even know the mouth with the toung sticking out on their shirts is the logo of a band. this really makes me wish h&m wouldn't even sell these shirts.

that's a luxury problem, I know! but still... what do you think? do you wear the h&m band shirts? I'd love to hear (read!) your opinion on this topic!

one of my favourite songs of all time, simply beautiful especially in this version. nirvana unplugged in new york is divine anyway!
