Bohemien Rhapsody

I was once on a date with this crush of mine a few years ago and I was trying my best to appear as the homely ‘girl-next-door’ type. I’d put on my most low-key outfit- a denim miniskirt, pink tanktop and ponytail, and thought I was pulling the role off pretty well. Until my unfortunate slip of the tongue when I got really excited as we were discussing our futures (note the plural…as much as I was dreaming of sharing mine with him, alas he was not as besotted with the idea).… I’d mentioned : “Yeah, my dream house would have a closet as big as a bedroom, and I want to model it right after a designer boutique with shelves and racks and my name in a stainless steel sign lit underneath- just like Gucci! I want to feel like I’m shopping in my own closet!”

That gave the game away.

A few years later, wiser and plainly refusing to hide my shopaholic tendencies- unless its from the mother or the bank statements- I’m rather close to achieving a massive closet where every few weeks or so, I pull something out with a tag still on it and realize I’d bought it 4 months ago. “Wow, I’ve never seen this before!” Likewise, stepping into my bedroom feels like I’m walking into a vintage boutique. I love rich texture, colors and a lil bit of the sparkly. One of my decorating (and spacesaving!) trick is having a tall pile of beautiful aged-leather luggage set instead of a wardrobe to store my clothes….. I love that sense of history and romance as I imagine the journeys my luggage has seen.

So I was really excited to get affirmation of my sense of interior style with this nifty tool from the people behind Imagini. Imagini is this great site where you get to decode your personality and tastes by going through images and questions they present, similar to those quizzes you’ll get in Cosmo or Elle. Though I guarantee its 200 times more accurate than “Are you a Bad-ass Mistress or Cuddly Kitty Kat?”…. here’s my result:

I especially love the conclusion at the end of my report:

“Your home’s a shrine to all things glamorous.”

How apt.
