cleolinda's brilliant recaps (clicky-link!) of Breaking Dawn? They're fantastic.
Secondly, the spoilers for that book were TRUE. And the fans of the series ARE NOT HAPPY. Really, really not happy.

So! Shallow fashion coveting! Could someone explain to me why I kind of want this "Gothic Lolita Pirate Sailor Jacket"? (clicky-link!) I would have it made in black, of course. I think it's darling, but ... sailor collar? Have I lost my mind? It's just that I'm under the thrall of the "pirate emblem" patch, isn't it?
Also, I am considering trying my hand at making a version of this Angelic Pretty skirt. (Clicky-link!) I wish I knew which AP line it came from, so I could search for some more photos of it. But the version I would make wouldn't have the giant bow at the waist; I have learned that no matter how cute I find waist bows, they don't work on someone who is short-waisted and busty.

Other than that, not a lot is going on in my world at the moment. Well, I did finish the first draft of that Big Writing Project I've been working on. Now to read the feedback I have on it and work on the second draft ...
