Katy Perry's New Look


If it weren't for that burst of candy pink hair, I wouldn't have recognized Ms. Perry here. Gone are her usual theatrical get ups with all the frills and thrills of a modern pop star's desire for the downright zany clothing. What we are left with, is a stripped down (simple in comparison to her quotidian style) version of the singer.
Minimal accessories, barely-there hair with no extravagant detailing and the pièce de résistance; a monochrome shirt baring Renaissance style faces with an essence of fun slipped in, as moustaches are added in. By now, I think you all know that anything Renaissance goes down a treat with me.

I adore this new, much more laid back side to Katy, complete with a retiring, modest smile. She was papped during the same night, getting cosy with Sky Ferreira - one of the newest "it" girls on the scene. Maybe Sky's grungy style is rubbing off on Katy?

Renaissance Cherub Socks Appreciation




Fetish: [noun] - an excessive or irrational devotion or commitment to a particular thing. In this case, cherub socks. 
I'm sorry to once again quote the dictionary but this definition sums up my feelings towards these socks   totally.

As a big admirer of Renaissance paintings (three words: Sistine bloody Chapel), these cute little knee-socks have been catching my eye for the couple of few months, popping up on Tumblr now and again. And in the words of Verruca Salt "I want them". 

My desperate quest to have a pair (or twenty five) in my possession has so far proved fruitless, so if anyone knows how to get a hold of them TELL ME!!!
