About Me


Hello. I'm Christina.

Aesthetic. Curious. Anglophile. Mildly neurotic. Opinionated. Inferiority complex. Fan of; peppermint tea and girl chat. Grey rainy days. Eskimo kisses. Lots of films. Subtle poeticism in the everyday. Awkward laughter. Venturing into my closet in the morning. Blue eyes. The Gallagher brothers. City lights. Genuine kindness. Wine drunk. Attempting to match Julian Casablancas' singing voice. Getting into fights with household appliances at Vicki's house. Morrissey dancing.

watch out for those modern girls.
