reveries in Horatio street


the person who nominated you comes up with 11 questions for you that you must answer but before answering them you must list 11 random facts about yourself. Then after telling your facts and answering the questions you must then nominate 11 more blogs and come up 11 questions for them and don't forget you must mention the blog that nominated you in your post.

And now for the, 


 11 things about me

  1. I am a twin. I am also the older twin by 6 minutes.
  2. I have a Yorkie named Kodi who has a major attitude problem.
  3. In the recent months i have formed a humongous obsession with mermaids. But not the Little Mermaid kind of mermaid that we learn about when we are little. No the siren kind that lures sailors to their doom. I find them really fascinating and magical. 
  4. My birthday is March 12 also known as National Girl Scout's day. 
  5. I have an incredibly messy room containing two gold fish named after famous people who lived in the 1920s. 
  6. My biggest fear is regret (i know very corny).
  7. My favorite number is 7 because the big dipper has 7 stars in its constellation.
  8. i am Irish, African American German, Caucasian,1/16 native American, and a bunch of other stuff that i really can not recall right now (sorry ancestors) but basically i am very very diverse. 
  9. A big fear of mine is to blend into a crowd, i know most people are afraid to stand out but i am the exact opposite of most people. 
  10. i have recently gotten very into painting and started painting some things my self but they're not nearly as good as the paintings of some of my favorite artists which include Edgar Degas,Vincent Van Gogh, John William, Will Cotton, Francis Bacon and Shae Acopian Detar (who is a photography who paints over her photos).
  11. I am really into vintage clothing and can't remember the last time i purchased something new. I just love the history behind used clothing wondering what connection a person might have to the piece of clothing and why they might have given it away, anyway i a make stories for each new piece i get. 
Now time for Alisa's questions

1. How would you describe your personal style?

I don't know how i would describe my style because it is to my belief that when you have found your own personal style that is true to your self and that they're no words to describe it besides that it's you. But if i had to form words for it i would say it would be lots and lots of layers, quirky at points, dressy, over the top, that word that is the opposite too "laid back", i am not going to say "vintage" because i feel next to "hipster" it is the most over used word to describe style so instead i will say inspired from by the past, and very crazy, and magical (in my opinion). Dam you tumblr for making the word vintage so misrepresented. 

2. What's your favorite book?

Gosh!!!!! Why are you asking me this it's like your asking me to choose a favourite child i have a 2 page list of my favorite books!!!!!!!! This is a cruel question but my favorite book if i had to choose one would be White Oleander by Janet Finch its really good and i just love it its basically like that child that always gets straight A's and has never gotten in trouble and also has all these awards for there great accomplishments it's hard, not to favor that child. 

3.  Tea or coffee?

That's easy tea cause coffee is a bitter little drink that my taste buds despise. 

4. Who's your favorite musician? 

i have a best friend who is obsessed with Kurt Cobain and would kill me while i am sleeping if i did not choose Nirvana, and anyway they made some good music. 

5. Which celebrity is your icon?


When it comes to icons its hard to just choose one. I have to many icons that influence my daily style i really can't choose one. A few celebrities who are my "icons" when it comes to fashion are Loulou de la Falaise, Iekeliene Stange, Elle Fanning, Audrey Hepburn, Marie Antoinette, Helen Devon Carter, Barbara Hulanicki, and the elves in the Lord of the Rings. 


6. What's on your bucket list?

A better question would be what is not on my bucket list, but some things that i have been currently trying to scratch off my bucket list is too read a bunch of the classics so i look like a good reader, to make my style more refined, to make my room worthy of the crazy creature that lives in it, to expand my closet with more vintage findies, to read the whole Lord of the Rings Series, and to volunteer at some place somewhere, for a good cause. 

7. If you could live for a year in a foreign country, where would it be?

I would live in Paris, France preferably in Montmartre (a district in Paris that's all artsy and has a big white church in the middle of it).

8.  As of right now, what are your top ten favorite songs? 

  •  Amen- Spacemen 3 
  • Life is Killing my Rock and Roll- Singapore Sling
  • Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana
  • The Man Who Sold the World- Nirvana
  • Obsessions- Marina and the Diamonds
  • Smells Like Teen Spirit- Patti Smith
  • While my Guitar Gently Weeps- The Beatles
  • The A Team- Ed Sheeran
  • The Outsider- Marina and the Diamonds
  • Gene Ciampi- Twin Sister
  • Flurescent Adolescent- Artic Monkeys
  • When the sun don't Shine- Best Coast
  • Guilty- Marina and the Diamonds
  • Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off- Panic at the Disco
  • Master of the House- Les Miserables 
9.  What's your Dream Career?

My dream career would be to be the editor and chief of a a magazine, just because. But truthfully i don't know what the hec my dream career would be besides to be blissful, which i guess is very corny and is not a career 
10. Dogs or cats?

This one is hard i love both. But it really depends on the dog or the cat because i hate dogs that are so active to the point of insanity and i hate the cats that just hate humans. But i do have a dog that acts like a cat and i have met cats that have acted like dogs. 

11.  What's your favorite movie?

I hate these kinds of questions because when ever someone asks you them you blank out and think for a second what is my favorite movie and then you can't remember any of the movies that you have ever seen and it is to my opinion that if you really love a movie enough for it to be your favorite you would remember it so for right now i do not have a favourite movie yet....... Oh but i will say i love Wes Anderson movies, they're awesome.
