Tomboy fashion

I love when the perfect mix between tomboy and feminine is reached. I found a few sites which demonstrate this union beautifully. One is this blog which I would advise everyone to check out http://www.tomboystyle.blogspot.com/.
Another great blog for tomboy fashion is http://wearingthepants.tumblr.com/. (Pic below)

The glasses in the top picture make me wish I needed glasses. Damn you 20/20 vision. I remember as a little girl I loved glasses so I would always try and cheat in the eye exame. I would start to feel guilty about cheating and let the doctor know I was lying. I was easily guilted as a child.

Diane Keaton in Annie hall is a good example of the tomboy fashion.
I like the boyfriend fit slacks along with the long oversized mens dress shirt. It looks best if the dress shirt is tailored in a bit so as to not appear frumpy. Also the cardigan or blazer work nicely. Try mixing and matching the larger tops with skinny bottoms, such as skinny jeans, and the larger bottoms with more from fitting tops. Some can pull off wearing a large top and bottom but usually it comes off looking frumpy unless you are really tiny.

Turkish Coffee

My neighbor is so sweet and invites me over for Turkish coffee. I love the flavor and texture of turkish coffee. It has a much thicker body then regular ground coffee. It can be boiled with sugar but I like it black. The flavor seems much more heavy and round but without any bitter qualities. The scent reminds me of chestnut or oak. After I drink the coffee my neighbor turns the cup over and later reads my coffee grounds. It's so much fun! I also love the cups used. The lip is so thin and delicate.
 Above is the pot used for boing the coffee grounds.
 Basically Turkish coffee is prepared by boiling a finely powdered roasted coffee. A lot of people will add sugar while they are boiling it but if you like your coffee black I would highly sugest it without sugar.

Hair Everywhere

I have shoulder length whitish/blonde hair right now and I am trying my best to leave it alone. I really want to cut it because I love short hair. I also love really long hair. I'm talking down to your ass long. I have had short hair multiple times so I thought I would let it grow out really long. Trouble is I feel really bored when my hair is medium length. I like to be on the extreme ends of hair not just dabbing in the middle. Well in my search for hair decision I ran across these three pics of hair.

I love the multiple colors. It makes me want to do it. Ugh but getting my hair to the white shade it is now was a huge pain and more pricey then I was expecting. I have to have priorities on my spending and I choose tea over hair.

Fashion in the East

I have long been a lurker of Japanese street web pages where photos of Japanese locals are displayed for there fashion. Sense I was about 16 I have looked at one web page called japanesestreets.com. This last year I found another site called http://www.style-arena.jp/


 That's all for now. Check out the web pages above if you would like to see much more.

Tea ware

Lately I have been aching for a matcha bowl and set. I'm so broke right now that I can only look and pretend like im whisking matcha and enjoying a sip of the green grassy goodness.
I don't care for the bowl in this photo but awwww look at that whisk! I love the darker wood and the handle. Also the whisk holder is really beautiful. The bowl bellow is earthy and has a nice glaze.
This bowl mixed with the whisk above and I wouldn't be able to leave the house for days. Now I need to  find some good matcha. I got some stuff the other day but it's no good. I got it from my local Asian market which can defiantly be hit or miss. Well at least it was fairly cheap.

I was looking for something romantic online and I stumbled across the web store chicwish.com. I realized after looking at the adorable collection that I love this sweet girl look.
