Dear Internets,
♥ Natalie
It’s Natalie here from
Sydney blog Lucy and the Runaways. I’ll be taking over this
space while my lovely friend Pixelhazard is on holidays. I hope she has fun, yet I
am thinking that she will be more excited about the crazy lovable outfits she
will be wearing and not about the actual holiday itself.
As I think about all the
holiday outfits PixelHazard will be planning soon, I find myself reflecting over my
own style. I like to think of myself as a ‘yes’ person in life, meaning I will
try anything at least once (except to skydive and bungee jump – I’m a ‘yes’
person but I’m also a rational and down to earth person too) and mold that
‘yes’ attitude into my own style.
In my personal life, I say
‘yes’ to random event invites by friends just to experience new things and
broaden my mind (art galleries full of skulls, creating sidewalk chalk drawings
and posing as a computer developer for a free lunch can be noted). When my mom
suggested three years ago to spend a month in Cambodia, I quit my job 3 months
later and traveled with her. I extended my trip to visit France for a further
two months. I held a glow-in-the-dark birthday party this year. When my
hairdresser friend suggested I might look good in short hair, I said yes and
let her hack my long hair into a beautiful short bob. My hair has been red,
purple, platinum blonde, ash green, pink and chocolate browns. I own over 30
lipsticks ranging from green, pale pinks, black and oranges. I try to live a
full life.
I use this attitude towards
my own personal style, keeping it feminine (because I’m a romantic at heart and
like to dress like I’m in a rom-com) and edgy (because I’m a ‘yes’ person
living my life as freely as possible).
And this attitude and free
life is how the concept of Lucy and The Runaways come about. It’s based
on the romantic notion of escape and running away from my dull and boring life.
I use photography and the scenery around me to help portray this attitude to my
readers. Hope you visit my blog sometime and read up on some of my Runaway
adventures
♥ Natalie
