This is only about 9/193809 of the pictures Colette and I take.
I think the FAQ video has been postponed. All the questions I've received are amazing, but I've, for some reason, found it hard to put it onto video form. 
I've decided to do a tutorial instead. You'll see. Soon.

These are Blythe Dolls I found from this shop on Etsy.

I have a new class at school! Grade seven is pretty cool! You get the staircase in the back field, you get the benches at assemblies, and you get grad. ♥ grad. grad. grad. 

black and white - landscapes and style icons

(Some pretty Tumblr landscapes that aren't black and white.)

From very top of post, both Tumblr, the next two are Rene Burri, next two Tumblr, Gashlycrumb Tinies. The last two are photos me and Colette have taken with my dad's camera while we've been away, either it be staying at a cabin near a lake or camping. The first one was taken by me of random bruises. The final one is of me in a ring me and her made on a beach while camping, taken by Colette.

Faye Dunaway (top) and Marianne Faithfull (bottom). THINGS I LOVE: I love Faye Dunaway's beret and Marianne Faithfull's hair. I love Marianne Faithfull's peacoat and how her sleeves peak through, and I love how Faye Dunaway has an almost Margot Tenebaum style--simple and grainy, as in heathered, almost. Her Margot bob also contributes to the candid and honest look.

This is me in a over-sized plaid jacket/sweater. It's my new best friend. I'm pretty sure if you asked all my friends "what is the article of clothing that Ruby wheres the most" they would say "this used plaid jacket/sweater" But please don't ask them - that would be waaay creepy, like my smile in this picture.

Shirt: American Apparel. Skirt: A thrift store in Oregon. Tights: H&M. 

I don't really like this photo, it just doesn't go with the ones above it. But it gets my point across. 

My (dad's) camera is out of batteries, so this photo was taken by my iPod Touch. It really brings out the "Simpson's" mustard in my tights. Up close, they kind of look like a mango gelato. Mmm. 

It's summer! I was so depressed when I heard about the Rookie Road Trip, considering how I live in Canada, and their journey wouldn't cross the boarder. But my mum and I are going to drive to Seattle for their stop... And their will be pictures! And a cool outfit! I hope. Everyone's going to look so fantastic and looking like they don't give a while I sit there looking at everyone's skirts and lacy dresses and bangs while yelping for attention in a Michael Cera fashion. 

In other news, I need more questions for my FAQ video. Remember to email me! ruby.karelia@gmail.com

part 2

Everything has changed. My whole life has turned around, and yours probably will too, you know why? Because I decided to ditch the three part DIY that would probably be finished in June and amaze you readers with something else rich with Karelia brilliance.

Brilliance, you say...

I'm sorry if you got your hopes up on the whole 3-part-DIY extravagance.

It's just, well, (brace yourself for excuses) I am really busy these days! And I stare at the computer awkwardly, thinking, "I better do that DIY post!" but then the interest disappeared in my idea. You probably wouldn't have even enjoyed my second DIY. I thought up all three in five minutes.

I feel really terrible unloading all of this to you now, but I have a make-up gift! You didn't think I would leave you with nothing, did you?

Me and Dayzee decided to do an interview together! To be specific, her asking me the questions, since I am sooooo interested.

I'm the bestest girl ever, aren't I?

So if you would like to read this magnificent post, I strongly suggest you check out Dayzee's amazing, well-written blog by clicking the link above. I am such a fan of her use of creativity, style, and writing and I am so delighted that we have gotten to work together.

Since this is my 99th post, I would like to dedicate it to the little cat always pawing the window in the basement of the house next door. It looks like he's dancing and he makes me happy that the world has dancing cats out there.

The weather has been positively dreadful but I still enjoy it. The gloominess in the rain brings out the one thing in my life that will always be by my side, through thick and through the thinnest of times, no, not dancing cats.

That is indeed naps.

Oh, and Hel Looks.

Hey!

It's been a while!
