mixed feelings/french new wave

i feel your eyes on me when we walk and makes me feel warm inside.your touch is electrical and your kisses are magic to me. too bad that we cant be.

hey!
happy new year!!!
i am back from my ( very long )holiday break :) so there´s been all this drama in my life too bad this time it isn't school stuff, i like this guy or more than like i think i love him. but he isn't my boyfriend(i am glad no one i know reads my blog or else i am doomed).
Mystery guy is 3 years older, mind open and a free spirit and definitely knows how to handle a girl like me.
J is only a year older closed and controlling and i don't really feel anything for him anymore other than sorry. i want to dump him but we have common friends. i am scared but still i feel happy to really have found the perfect guy for me.
he doesn't pressure me and understands my fear of commitment and always knows just what i need . i wont cheat on my boyfriend so we have to wait and he understands it .he basically makes me feel like the heroine of a french new wave movie. edgy fresh but still classic sweet. so now that the temperature is going down and my heart is getting warmer this seems like the perfect style to go for and feel like a french rose .
BTW just got new digital camera - last one was broken - so i will start including street style pictures on my posts ( i missed some great opportunities).

The label “New Wave” was a journalistic slogan for a sociological phenomenon occurring in post-war France ( aka 1950´s), during which all the traditions were examined and radically changed .french new wave is also a term that was used for some french movies in of the late 1950s and 1960s.the New Wave filmmakers were linked by their self-conscious rejection of classical cinematic they had a bold take on their visual style and general form of the movie but still was greatly influenced by classic Hollywood films.
as for the costumes used on these films the characters used were effortless chic, simple , practical but yet feminine and quirky as for the guys they looked slick in their cool glamour dandy style , effortless indie outfits or fancy-cool french gangster suits.
