One year in college I left our Christmas tree up so long it became an Easter tree (complete with Easter egg lights). For a few years in New York I lived in a 400-square-foot apartment, but I always made sure I had room for my boxes of Christmas ornaments. Right now I have a smallContinue reading “characters’ christmas trees”

valar morghulis (embroidery no. 11)
Valar morghulis. All men must die. This theme and these words come up over and over again in the Song of Ice and Fire books, the series that includes Game of Thrones and its sequels. As those who watch the show and read the books know, in George R. R. Martin’s world, a lot ofContinue reading “valar morghulis (embroidery no. 11)”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: sansa
Poor Sansa can’t catch a break. When we met Sansa she was a fool of a girl, and one of my least favorite characters. She preferred knights on white horses to sword fighting, unlike our hero Arya, and she dreamt of pretty dresses and a handsome princes. Sadly, she’s been dealt nothing but tragedy sinceContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: sansa”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: brienne
Last night was a round-up of sorts, and maybe even a let down from the action-packed past few weeks. But then Brienne fought a bear. A freaking bear. In a dress. So because she fought a bear and kept her composure under fear of death and humiliation, she definitely wins this episode. (Jaime comes inContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: brienne”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: jon snow
I think we can all agree mostly everyone on Game of Thrones right now is losing. The Lannisters are down a hand and up two unwanted fiances. The Starks are all over the map, losing battles and friends. So I think Jon wins this week because he made it up and over a 700-foot wallContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: jon snow”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: daenerys
If you don’t think Daenerys won Game of Thrones last night, you weren’t watching the same show I was. Her strength, beauty and general badass-ness totally came through last night when she showed some slavers what was what. Dany is a gorgeous woman, and she can dress for every occasion. We’ve seen her in lovelyContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: daenerys”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: jaime
Well Jaime definitely didn’t this week’s episode of Game of Thrones. In fact, he lost quite a bit. But he lost the episode in such a spectacularly gruesome fashion that his moments stuck out to me the most. Jaime spends most of his time in his white cloak and armor (or in mud when he’sContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: jaime”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: arya
Arya, also known as The Coolest Person You Wish You Were, is back and wins this week’s episode of Game of Thrones. We find her on the run after she escapes from almost certain death by bargaining with a man who will kill whoever she wants. I love Arya’s spunk. While sitting down to dinnerContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: arya”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: margaery
I’m so glad to be back in the TV land of Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin has created a beautiful and dense world, full of intrigue and crisscrossing relationships. And the sets and dragons on the show are certainly nothing to sneeze at. Last night was the first episode of the third season on this HBO hit. MargaeryContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: margaery”
