State of confusion
Sometimes I wonder what to do with this blog?! Its original purpose is to be the "usual fashion blog" (documenting your daily outfits & posting inspirational pictures, etc) but then I thought, there's so many other blogs doing the exact thing. How can you be original and stand out? I think it's pretty obvious when a blogger is original and when one is trying "too hard". (not trying to bash, but it's sorta true) I just don't want to be perceived as the latter, since fashion has always been a huge part of who I am.
Sadly I wanted to start a fashion related blog (or some form of an outlet) about 3-4 years ago, back when I really DID take a picture of my daily outfit(s). (remember doing so for my ex boyfriend who always wanted to see how I looked like since we didn't go to the same school) Looking back, how I wished I started then, would be nice to see all the change and growth (fashion/personal) any person would experience during a span of 3-4 years. I also wanted to blog about my life, but then I thought what for? My life isn't as exciting as say... Cory Kennedy.
The urge to start blogging again emerged late last year, when I saw in both "Teen Vogue" & "F21" magazine how blogging has become so influential in the world of fashion. It opened my eyes and inspired me all over again. But sadly it's almost been a year since I started my blog and boy... have I sucked at it. Definitely not a consistent blogger at all. Which leads me to: what should I mainly blog about? Should there be a main focus? Or should it be scatter brained? Guess I'm the only person who can answer that. I still want it centered around fashion, just feel the need to add other elements as well. I'll admit it's hard taking daily outfit pics for many reasons: from a busy schedule; to not having a consistent photographer and sadly gaining 10 pounds has discouraged me from even taking pictures. But despite all this, I'll still go for it...because I believe if you really like something, then do it.
Excuse this rant. If you knew me you'd know I tend to just sometimes type whatever comes into mind (and I have to let it out haha). Being the Libra that I am, I tend to sort and balance everything out, but instead of keeping it in my head..might as well just blog it out. I suppose I'm going through a lost or transitional stage, or in deep thought. I am also trying to find ways to improve my blog. Here's to an improved geranium belle by next year. Always stay positive. :)

all along the terrace
Summer is coming to an end, finally. How I look forward to fall fashion. What I love about summer tho is how my "usual" outfit is so simple. No layers (unlike fall), just a dress & sandals, voila done! I'm sure a dress is everyone's go to outfit. ;) I fell in love with this dress because it reminds me of something from the 1940s-1950s. Love love love. Wore this last month to my Aunt's birthday party. Love her house up on the terrace overlooking LA. I want to go back...
dress, cloche & shades- f21; sandals- steve madden; purse- vintage Dooney & Bourke

Besides dresses, another summer favorite(s) for me includes lip stains, red lips & eco friendly products.

Been
single for 1 year now, yay.
On Feb 2011, I'll be single for 1 year & 6months which equals.. longest period I've EVER been single.
Just felt the need to boast, since nowadays most people can't even last months without having somebody. Well I can. Being single isn't so bad and why rush into things & commitment? You're only young once, so live it up & enjoy it before you're tied down forever.
Though I admit sometimes I miss this.....
but that's VERY rare! ;D

Languorous
Well you know I think my fate's belated, because of all the hours I waited, for the day when I'd no longer cry.
I get myself to work by eight but oh, was I born too late? And do you think I'll fail at every single thing I try?

Just one of those nights...
Nights where I feel vulnerable and a bit nostalgic. When I think about my past, present and future. All the pain and fear builds up & appears in my head. I sometimes long for days years ago, when I was carefree & naive. When I was a dreamer. Those times feel so long ago. Wake me up when August ends. (August happens to be my least favorite month, because for the past 3 years, something bad had always occurred to me)
I promise you though I am still an optimistic and happy person. Just having a moment I suppose, and blogging it out helps. I love how blogging/fashion cheers me up. :) I shall overcome.
