Beauteous (Overdrawn)

[jheti]

So, my mom discovered and purchased this magazine a few days ago.

And somehow. It's like RATIONALLY I know it's too, that it's bobo and tacky and white.

Which isn't going to stop me from buying my own copy, de-spining it with a craft knife, and meticulously scanning every page with love and tenderness.

IT'S TOO MUCH but it's SO WELL-DESIGNED.

*Drowns happily.*

this is my style but seeing it codified and branded like this like in this magazine and whenever I go into Anthropologie is just... it makes me get all "ugh this is so precious and white and ~*~quirky~*~ now".

And of course I use my girly stock boho icon.

I KNOW.

I mean, I don't really know that it's omg muh styyyllleee but I like it very much. It reminds me of the zany roccoco explosion drawing rooms of the Hitchcock era. And I'm not sure I like it all trussed up in magazine form.

There's something in my brain that's a sucker for a slick package or slick production, but at the same time this offends my taste even as it enthralls me.

Did that make sense?

I do think it will make nifty icon textures! Or borders or something.
