PHOSPHENE

While sparing details, the last several days can be easily summed up by IV caffeine, growing muffin tops, and adopting a polyphasic sleep schedule (alternating with a no-sleep schedule). Apparently polyphasic sleep is referred to as "napping in extreme situations" that the US Military, Canadian Marine Pilots, the Italian Air Force and NASA resort to in times of crisis and/or other extreme conditions. This makes me hardcore, right?

In other news, I've been able to make a few things too in between sleep and zombie-studying, one of them a spike hairband that I'm wearing in these photos. I love it so. I'm also sporting my new pair of favourite pants. They're faux leather and I think I want to live in them.

Wearing Deena & Ozzy quilted bag, Silence & Noise faux leather pants, H&M denim dress, DIY spike hairband

That headband plus that tunic makes you look like a bad-ass princess! Those pants are also to-die-for, they look great on you.

your blog is fantastic, i'm adding you to my blogroll ;)

I am alive and well. I'm still makings things and I'm still wearing clothes (haa) -- I just haven't had the time to document it the past week.

This is all because I have tragically metamorphosed into a test-taking monster (RAWR!) having taken 6 exams last week and studying for 3 more this week and another 3 more the week after. Don't feel bad for me, it's just I wanted to share the reason I've been a bit absent despite me thinking about blogging nearly every minute of my day.

To those who aren't filling in Scan-tron bubbles with #2 pencils this summer, please frolic in some fields, make some daisy headbands, splash your toes in cold lake water, bike in a vintage cruiser in a summer dress with a basket full of fresh hydrangeas for me. Then send me a postcard. It'll make me happy :o)

Lastly, the sweetie over at Green Zebra Studio featured me in her recent blog entry. Thanks!

Oh I read that post! I must say, you really deserve that cause I also love following your blog because of your sense of style.

Very soon I'll be switching to a new D-SLR, the Nikon D90. I've been using an old D70 for all my shots and with its now-puny 6 megapixels, occasional fringing, moiré pattern effects, wacky white balance issues, and a microscopic LCD display, it's time to move on. My new camera, not only will offer 12.3 megapixels (Phosphene Fashion, now featuring Sophia's pores and sebaceous glands), but it has the added feature of digital video. Maybe some vlogging might be fun?

Not too sure why I even put together this entry. Maybe I just wanted to take another photo of my new favourite headband? Probably.

u so cute))..

This summer, Boston has been rather somber. Everything looks and feels unsaturated and slightly tinged with blue and gray. An umbrella and jacket have become staples to my summer outfits. As strange as it seems, I love it. The city is quieter and it allows me to be a bit more pensive. A large mug of coffee and some good music is really all I need on these kind of days.

Today comprised of exam taking, running about in the rain, making mock ups for a new idea, lots of coffee (IV caffeine anyone?), and the most delicious frozen yogurt ever.

Wearing men's sweater, bamboo jersey scarf, H&M bandage dress, H&M headband, opaque tights, and caged booties from eBay

This outfit is PERFECT! I am seriously in love with those boots, but the whole look is just amazing. I want a bandage dress badly, but fear they don't work on all body types!

Sophia

2009-06-24T04:58:54.288Z

it's all about how you style around it, amelia. plus, with your body type, it'll look amazing so don't be timid :)

Hey Sophia... I've been following your site and I love your posts. You're in Boston? Do you go to Harvard? I kind of thought it looks like the Harvard vicinity in your pictures. Just guessing for fun. See ya later!
