First thing first: I got my hands on a copy of Brisingr, the third installment in the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini (Eragon being the first book) today! Surprisingly enough I bought the paperback version and not the hardcover one. Isn’t that strange? I used to refuse to – nearly voved not to – buy books in paperback no matter how much cheaper they were. Merely because hardcovers are a lot more fancy and because they just seem right. Is that not how books are supposed to be? With stiff and exclusive covers, not those thin and esily ripped off papery ones.
I did spend a lot of time discussing mentally with myself whether I should or not. I really wanted to get it in hardcover. I hope someone wants to buy Brisingr and who isn’t that picky about paperbacks or hardcovers, so that I can sell this paperback one and buy myself a new one in hardcover!

Back to the topic title: I have been lurking around on fashion blogs a lot lately. You would think that I wasn’t all that interested in clothes, since I’m not that obsessed about having to look my best everyday. To hell with make-up. I just need my hair done. Although I am ridiculously obsessed when it comes to hair. But you know, fashion is art. Fashion is all about being creative, therefore it is art.
So, inspired by all these fashion blogs and their bloggers, I have decided that from this day on I will sketch my outfit and hairdo of the day I blog to practice drawing frequently/more often. You see, I’m usually quite a lazy bum when it comes to art.
Don’t expect too much from my outfits though, schooldays aren’t my best days. Who’s got time or the effort to dress up for school anyway?

Hair: one length braided from ear to ear like a hair band. The other length is left unbraided, and the back is ruffled/spiked into wild messyness. A straight fringe with only a little hint of side-sweep on the right side.

Clothes:

• A plain, grey and quite long hoodie to keep the cold out
• A white spaghetti top underneath, barely visible at the bottom to make my torso seem longer
• Green polka dot scarf
• White shorts
• Black stockings
• Yellow converse shoes (not visible here because I can’t draw converse to save my life)

Why yes, I am clutching a take-away cup of hot chocolate for archery practice! (It’s cold, alright.)
