Always summer.

The dog days are over. Running around, running away, running from running. All day in a heat wave, we'll read poetry to the stars in a field of grassy green,
night as a vice and soil as sheets. Dazed by the moon, forgetting our dried up hearts and swollen eyes. Find a new love, if just for now. Chasing colours in our
fears. Sinking bubbles in our drinks. Going to the woods just to be feral, and pretending we’re characters in a film. We'll make new sins like it's craft, and the
center star will burn our skin. Staining our whites with stalky blades, our selfish secrets to be kept in the haze. The last day of summer.

With heavy eyes, and lips that taste of poisoned grapes.

Another favourite, this time from 5th Avenue Shoe Repair at Copenhagen Fashion Week. Astrid Olsson and Lee Cotter have utterly charmed me with their lush floral and paisley
prints, bowties, and bright pink and yellow socks. A happier mood than that of previous collections, but not straying far from the darker side of humour that the brand is known for;
with its unorthodox asymmetrical cuts, excessive amounts of black, and avant garde styling. It is this quirky unpredictability that is responsible for my adoration for the collection
and 5th Avenue Shoe Repair's ever-present unmistakable charm.

There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around.

I won't be devoting too many posts to the recent runway shows of Fashion Week (it's really not necessary I think, with loads of fashion blogs posting the same snaps
over and over again), but I will share with you some of my favourites. Lately I've come out of a dark and dreary phase, one filled with anything that's been cut or shredded
and nearly destroyed, and with shades only seen by the earth and the night. For now, a bright, more colourful mood is more appealing to me. Greens, ochres, pinks and blues are
gradually popping into my closet. And although it is just now turning to Autumn, seeing Marc Jacobs' collection for next Spring has turned me on to colour even more, even for Fall.
