URBAN LEGENDS

I was a blogger
Not a very popular one
I once had dreams of becoming a style icon
But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken
But I really didn’t mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is

GRAY MATTER

I may not know much about the anatomy of the human body, but I know that "Gray Matter" sounds cool enough to name a blog post after. And while I may sound shallow and uninteresting I would like to think that I am the opposite of that. But don't we all?

INTO THE WILD

It's important to stay in touch with your true self. To feel the connection with the things that matter most to you. It's important not to forget who you are and who you want to become. And when life gets difficult, you need to do just that - reconnect with yourself. And often the best medicine is found in nature.

THE PERFECT DAY OFF

It's kinda funny that I'm writing this post on a Saturday that happens to be a workday for me. But I guess I'm funny that way. I don't get a lot of days off lately and when I do, I like to spend them the way I like. As it's still super-hot-avoid-outdoors-and-human-interaction kind of summer, I spend a lot of time at home. And I don't really mind, because sometimes I feel that summer only exists to piss me off and make me wear clothes I hate (like shorts).

THE TIME BEING

When I look back at my life I can see that my decisions have made me the person I am today. And even just realizing the fact that life is like dominos is truly scary. Every day I can look back and see that I've changed. And while I am scared of growing older, I see my eighteen-year-old self as a long forgotten foolish broken version of myself. And during this process of change and self exploration, I've noticed that the way I dress has become increasingly more simplistic and centered around a couple of basic principles that I've incorporated into the way I dress. My most recent realization is the fact that over the course of the last year I've worn boots 90% of the time. Whether it rains, snows or the sun's shining - I need my boots.

TROPICO

It's time for a change. It's time for a new beginning. Don't mourn Galaxies&More - it's grown and evolved.  I came up with the concept of my blog when I was 19 years old, now at age 22, I felt like I could no longer relate to it. I've been waiting for this change for a while now and finally I can welcome you to BALT. Not only I've changed my domain name and site layout, but also I've finally achieved that hair color that's as gray as asphalt. I love it.

ALTER EGO

As you've probobly noticed, I have commitment issues. It's been way too long since I've posted anything. It's not that I have nothing to show or say, it's just that .. I don't even know. In case you're wondering - no, this is not another boring outfit post, because I actually made the top myself. I really love layers and super long tees, so I really went for it. It actually took me just one evening to make it which makes me think that if I got over my laziness, I could have a whole collection in a month. Yes, I would love to commit to sewing and creating full time, but I do have a day job comepletely unreleated to anything merely creative, so I can't really find the time.
