A place both wonderful but strange
My Dad's house is as Minnesotan as it gets. Completely made out of logs there is antler toilet roll holders, coat hangers and chandeliers. There's log chairs, a rock fire place, a bear rug, wooden ducks, rabbit furs and many other stuffed animals. It transcends the cliché winter wonderland surrounded by snow covered hanging trees, heavy forests and wild animals all situated right on the big lake. Being in a small town there is a middle-of nowhere feeling that becomes unusually beautiful. Driving through you see hand painted signs, pine trees, lakes, deers fleeting from cars, flashing neon signs, the token casino, empty traffic lights, small diners and the locals who all know each other. It was only natural in my mind for all these things to become reminiscent of Twin Peaks, which is coincidently one of my Dad's favourite shows. 

Most of the stills are taken from season 1 with a few odd ones from season 2. At the beginning I didn't particularly like Audrey Horne but by season 2 she was my favourite character. That's what's really special about Twin Peaks, all the characters are so diverse and thoroughly explored and developed. They are easy to feel connected with. Dale Cooper is such a dreamboat and Laura Palmer is strikingly enigmatic.
I love how Twin Peaks is filled with symbolic colours, mysterious motifs and random tchotchkes. Such as coffee, cherry pie, pine trees, owls, logs, water and fire.
I can do nothing less but dress like I'm from Twin Peaks while I aimlessly roam around this log cabin.
Wearing a thrifted dress, black knee-high socks, Bass loves Rachel Antonoff Saddle Shoes, a bow badge and Daria Badge.
This outfit I wore awhile ago had to be included as it gave off some Twin Peak vibes. I felt like I was Audrey Horne for a day, living in my own strange but wonderful place. And now I am leaving this log cabin and going to London!








When I first watched Twin Peaks I fell in love with Audrey's style. I really need to purchase a few Audrey-eque items of my own. You pull off the look flawlessly!
ReplyDeletefor a minute I thought your pic was one
ReplyDeleteof the tp ones!! - so, job well done. totally
agree on Audrey, I liked it when she was more
vulnerable (later on) with Coop etc. real cute.
so jealous you are in a twin peaks existence
right now!
Thanks! I so agree, I loved it when Audrey became more vulnerable. I felt she became more human, before I couldn't really understand her character at the beginning.
DeleteWowwww I love the tp vibes! I've had huge yearning for those Bass shoes for ages now. They don't deliver to the UK and now they don't sell them anymore urgghhhh. <3 <3 <3

A friend recommended Twin Peaks to me a while ago but I still haven't got round to watching... It's now one of my New Year's resolution haha :)
ReplyDeleteooh and also I love your Daria badge!
ReplyDeleteTwin Peaks is one of the bestest things EVER. I was actually thinking of writing a blog post about how ~deep~ the characters are, because I feel like they are the deepest characters I've ever seen in a TV show. They all struggle and have problems and aren't just smiling facades, you know?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, you look AMAZING. Totally Audrey.
I actually got to visit/explore the Twin Peaks area where they filmed. The day was all rainy and misty, and it was a beautiful, beautiful time <3
