Airy Space Goddess Vibes

I'm not very happy right now because an online 'Which Mean Girls Character are you?' Quiz told me I was most like Gretchen Weiners. You can imagine what I'm feeling.

I know I'm like the millionth person to blog about it but the Chanel Couture SS14 collection is 'lyke totally amazing' omgg srsly its 2die4. I'm not usually one to talk about big designer collections, because they're barely on your radar when you're a broke 15 year old who would probably die from the horribly intimidating experience of even looking through a Chanel shop-window. 
So I will remain safe behind my laptop screen in my hideously unfashionable pyjamas, away from the glaring eyes of so-called (pls dont h8 4 using this word) 'fashionistas' 
(But you know what I mean: the type of snooty, perfectly presented fashion bloggers/desginers who probably wanted to hit Tavi Gevinson when she first went to Fashion Week, aged 14.)

Usually, runway make-up is totally unwearable in real life, it just looks pretty or dramatic on the catwalk, (let me remind you of Chanel SS14's paint splotches).
But however much hate I might get, I would srsly wear the 'silver under-eye look' that this collection displayed, because firstly, it's actually relatively simple to achieve when you have 0 make up skills, and also it looks super pretty without looking weird/over the top. Plus I can finally achieve snow queen/space goddess vibes. THANK U PETER PHILIPS. AND THANK U KARL.

The celestial, sea-anemone hair and the whole space-tech look is so beautiful, too, and it matched the feather crowns the models wore (ahem Cara). It made them look like pale glitter-angels. The delicacy of the shape and colours all looked so perfect together, while the black feathery pieces contrasted the white purity.
Also, I loved those tiny waisted two-piece-pastel-dress-things with the polo necks 
(r u all luving my technical fashun knowledge) and those beautiful sequined trainers, because they were pretty accessible as something I'd consider buying and wearing irl. 
(Maybe without all dem sequins but ygm) 

It all reminded me of ice and birds and snow flakes, because of the flowy, translucent sparkles on the cropped tops and skirts. Basically, I can't word how much I liked this collection because I am not a ---fashionista--- (Im gagging every time I say that word) and I can't describe the whole appearance and vibes but it's beautiful and lovely and would make me feel like a little radiant-pastel maiden if I had the luck to wear it.

In conclusion, what I wanted to ask u all is: pls can we start a fund where u can all send me lots of money and I can rock up to my next school PE sesh dressed like this? 

Forever

I don't know about any of you, but I normally skim read the first few lines of someone's blog post and then look at the pictures. Even on Rookie I read one or two paragraphs of an article and I get bored. My attention span is really worrying and I realised I was probably actually missing out on stuff by not reading it all. Recently I rewatched Tavi Gevinson's talk on her world and fangirls and the importance of liking things and making art, and it really changed my view. I started going back through Rookie's beginning of the month letters and reading them, because what she was saying in her talk resonated with me a lot, and I started to realise that those Rookie letters are aimed at people exactly like me, and I should be reading them.. *ew cringe cliche moment*.

Tavi's 'Forever' letter this December about being a teenager made an impact on me, especially after hearing her talk, because I always took her for some everyday fangirly annoying teenager girl blogger who happened to get famous for screaming about clothes online, until I actually read what she was saying. 
But she is 'every day', in that she represents all us girls, which makes her even better - she's a teenaged prodigy in the blogging world and yet she still has to go to school and live with her parents, which makes her really down to earth. Her talk made me realise how intellegent and understanding she is, how it's ok to like things that wouldn't normally be on your spectrum and it made me actually think about why we like the things that we like. I really appreciated Rookie for once, because when you take a step back, it is definitely the (first and) most popular online publication that doesn't patronise teenage girls, or suggest that the only thing that interests us is clothes and boys. 

So basically if you are as lazy as me and can never be bothered to read the Rookie articles that might actually interest you, please actually have a look and read them through.. 
also especially if you're a creative person, watch Tavi's talk, because I'm so happy I watched it a second time, as I didn't properly listen to it the first time and it really gave me a new more diligent attitude to blogging and creating when I listened.

Happy New Year y'all and look at this because I want to write to all of you x

winona, you doll

OK WINONA RYDER APPRECIATION POST.

1) HER NAME omg what is that? Winona. Its such a pretty name and I WILL be calling one of my kids that. Also Ryder is one of my favourite surnames, espescially because it's linked to one of my favourite characters in literature: Charles Ryder from Brideshead Revisited.
2) FILMS
One of my favourite Winona films is Girl, Interrupted (1999) because it was the first film I saw her in and her acting is on top form guys. Also you get to see a lot more of her perf cheekbones because she has short hair. (lol) Despite the dark subject of mental wards and suicide I really liked it. Angelina Jolie (in my opinion) also plays one of her best roles in film here. Winona plays a mentally unstable, introverted girl who makes 'friends' with some girls in the same mental ward as her and I don't want to give anything away to those who havent seen it but its A***** If you have tumblr, you'll be very familiar with the stills from it bc tumblr seems to attract all that dark stuff..

me and A'Jolie keepin' it real

Also, Heathers (1988) is one of my favourites, because of the contrast Winona plays, compared to her character in Girl, Interrupted. Her half-hearted attempt to be in the 'in-crowd' at school is great because it discredits the stereotype of a clique of dumb desperate girls ruling the school, that most high school films have. I sat down to watch this film expecting a chick flick, and I wont spoil it but IT IS ANYTHING BUT A GIRLY MOVIE SO DONT EXPECT ONE. Also the 80s fashion is top-notch and as always, Winona adds to the eye candy <3 <3

 3) LASTLY HER TREMENDOUS GOOD LOOKS
Ok Winona is my girl crush, she has quite an original look with her dark hair, dark eyes and pale complexion but I think she's perfect. She has quite an English Rose kind of look, and I can't wait to see her in more films.

donnie darko

One of the main reasons for my blog's name 'Where's Frank' is because Donnie Darko is one of my favourite films, and the 6ft tall imaginary rabbit that talks to Donnie in this film is called Frank. Apart from the ending, which I think even the producers and director of this film were confused about, it is such a perfect film. It also has some brilliant one-liners and is very quotable. 
(On the more philosophical, deeper side of the movie, one of the best quotes is "If the sky were to suddenly open up, there would be no law, there would be no rule. There would only be you and your memories.") 
I reckon IMDB has summed it up better than I could so here's what its about:
'A troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a large rabbit that manipulates him to commit a series of crimes, after narrowly escaping a bizarre accident.' 
Seems about right.
Two of my friends told me I looked like Gretchen Ross, Donnie's girlfriend in the movie, which was such a perfect compliment because she's beautiful (in my opinion) so yeah, basically this film comes shortly after Submarine in my top films list 
(comment below if you think I should do a top 10 film list)

This is my failed attempt to draw Frank: 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds, that's when the world will end:

 

They're both so good looking its so unfairrr

Listen to Mad World
