Demain, Dès l'Aube

Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.
Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur ma pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit'
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour mou sera comme la nuit.

Je ne regarderai ni l'or  du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.

(Poem by Victor Hugo)

I was reading this poem for French class. I absolutely adore it. It is just so beautiful, and sad as well.

A rough translation (feel free to correct me, two blog readers):

Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside whitens,
I will leave. You see, I know that you are waiting for me.
I will travel through the forest, I will travel through the mountains.
I can not stay far from you any longer.
I will walk with my eyes fixed upon my thoughts,
Without anything to see outside, without hearing any noises,
Alone, a stranger, back bent, hands crossed,
Sad, and to me day will be like night.
I will not look at the gold of the evening that falls,
Nor the far away sails descending towards Harfleur,
And when I arrive, I will place upon your grave
A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom.

Oh how I love Victor Hugo.

The last songs....

...I will ever record (part 1) is my new favourite record. It's by the wonderful, talented, and above all, amazing Mike Phirman. The songs are absolutely hilarious and very clever. Everyone should listen to them! You can listen to the album by clicking on the lovely album art below:

American

I was reduced to nothing more than a silly fangirl upon seeing this (warning: contains some swearing, if you are a pure, innocent child):

I am so incredibly excited for this film to come out. Bill Hicks was one of my favourite comedians/people of all time. (OF ALL TIME!) So it's about time they made a tribute film. Oh goodness am I excited. Every time I watch this I become more excited about this film. Eeeeee!

The Mariner

This set I made has got me in such a summery mood. Basically I saw the shirt on net-a-porter.com and it seemed sort of sailor-ish. So I decided to make an outfit with that theme. Of course I was trying to find those sailor-y shorts, but I decided these Chloé shorts were just too good. So the Paul and Joe shirt and the Tory Burch sandals combined with that are really what I like about this set.

Shirt, shorts, and sandals from net-a-porter.com. For more info on the set you can check it out on my Polyvore page here.

p.s - I'm really starting to get the hang of Polyvore. It's fun.

So I'm a bit late on the collections. Err...more than a bit. But anyways, I thought I'd share my favourite looks from the Miu Miu Spring '10 and Fall '10 Ready-to-Wear collections.

我爱上海.

I love Shanghai.

Really. I do. And I bought some stuff there. Which I like. And I'm not speaking very well today. Please don't mind me. Me and mum raced off to Uniqlo, which is a lovely Japanese store/company. They've got three stores in Shanghai, a bunch more in Japan, probably some elsewhere in China. As well as some stores elsewhere. But alas, their only US store as of late is in New York. Which is far away from me. By a lot. So, my mum and I bought things there first. The things I bought there were:



A lovely blazer-type jacket. Which I've been wearing non-stop since.




This tee-shirt, which I wore to a MUSE concert. (italics, bold..ness, and capital letters for emphasis. maybe a post later on it? If I have decent pictures.).

And those things, along with some socks because I was running out, were what I bought at Uniqlo. I wish I could've bought more things there, but the jacket was expensive enough for me (a whopping 299 RMB, which is about 45 US dollars, if I got that conversion right. So I'm broke. And $45 is a bit much for me to spend. On anything except maybe a concert ticket every once in a while.)


All the other things I bought were from various stores and such that didn't have any websites or online...things. And my camera is icky. So I'll see if I can get those up at some point.

再见 xx
