Mood: Down by the river by the boatsWhere everybody goes to be aloneWhere you won't see any rising sunDown to the river we will run
When that old river runs pass your eyesTo wash off the dirt on the riversideGo to the water so very nearThe river will be your eyes and earsIf you are into haunting, borderline dark indie music, you have to give Agnes Obel a listen (click play above). I discovered her recently on Spotify and was immediately charmed, album after album. She plays the piano a lot, somewhat resembling Birdie, but an eerier rendition. Does that make sense? I'm not the best as describing music but her tunes bring melancholy.
I'm easily inspired by film and music.
Riverside alone was enough to spark a lookbook for me. The translation is earthy, ethnic and free. A mini road trip with friends brought us to an industrial area of Singapore where its emptiness and untouched landscape helped elevate a sense of freedom. No one else was watching and basically there were no pressure for creativity.
I selected a black midi fringe dress which I thought was most appropriate for its surroundings. It has some tribal trimmings on its hems and sleeves, and a web cut-out on the back. Fringe is the best thing to wear if you intend to capture wind and movement. The plain fields really allowed my outfit to stand out. My fast growing hair is such an enemy for coloured hair. But I feel like with a similarly warm toned makeup look and accessories, the black roots didn't really matter. Having said that, I should plan to touch up soon...
