Throughout the planning of my graduation/Met Gala ball/pub garden party, I was often met with statements or questions like: “I’ve never known someone to throw a big party for their graduation,” or, “Why are you doing all this?” For those who truly understand the person I am, this doesn’t need an answer. But now, two days after my big ol’ fancy dress party, I’m feeling all mushy and want to let you in on the secret too… I guess. I’ll start by saying that 18-year-old Saule didn’t have much hope of making it to her 21st birthday—I was a bit emo —let alone being capable of completing a degree. And even now, as a 21-year-old (for the third time), I waited for my results to arrive with the same kind of angst. Basically, I was shocked. Before all that, my parents taught me, from the time I was a teeny-weeny, that parties like these are moments when you remember how lucky you are, and how grateful you should always be. My dad’s family had a yearly tradition of hosting a weekend-long party at their childhood home; where the adults would drink until they were falling asleep by the fire, and the kids would mix “potions” from drinks they’d secretly collected. We’d sing songs I didn’t know the words to and dance in a way that was surely comparable to salsa… I know my appreciation might be hidden beneath things like the very large print of myself as the Virgin Mary, or the bunting and wine bottles with my face on them. It might all seem a little self-indulgent, perhaps. But honestly, I couldn’t ask the world for anything more. While trying not to sound boastful I am so deeply grateful to feel as loved as I do.

Mi cya do dat

here’s a lil lo-fi fashion film/behind the scenes from a shoot with @itssaule last week

Validate me, I just got a speeding ticket 😔

Expensive immersive experience tbh

This year we’re practicing sincerity and passion. There is an element of vulnerability that is met at the sight of acting with all of your heart. And the adolescent gaze at vulnerability is met with a twisted stomach. But excusing a well rounded experience of this once chance at life with the fear of judgment is falling out of the trend cycle. Instead, expressing how much you’ve missed your friend hemlines and embroidered sincere joy from time spent is rising to the frontline. Well, at least in my wardrobe.
