CelestePracticed the new makeup look at the candlelit vanity tonight in the black slip. Smoky eye, the kind that takes an hour of mirror time. Worth it. The result is sitting on my face right now and the room is the right colour. Walk in before I wash it off 🪞
CelesteNew eyeliner pencil from the brand I trust. The black is the only black that counts. Standing at the bathroom mirror applying it slowly in the sunny light. The mirror approves. Come over before the rest of the makeup, I want you to see the cleanest version of the line 🖋️
CelesteWalked the Gothic cathedral grounds at twilight in the long black coat. The bells were unkind, the way bells in old places sometimes are. I was thinking about the time you asked me what I believe in. I have a longer answer now. Come over and ask again 🔔
CelesteReorganised the closet today. Everything black, the system is finally correct. Standing in front of the row rearranging the velvet end. Come over and see it. Tell me which dress I should put on tonight. I will trust your answer 🖤
CelesteTattoo appointment Thursday. Yes another one, on the forearm this time. Showing the fresh scorpion in the studio mirror. Stop counting. Come over later, I want you to see it in good light and tell me what you think 🦂
CelesteWalked the dim city at midnight in the long black coat and the knee-high boots. The streetlights know my coat by now. I was thinking about which apartment I wanted to be in, and the answer was yours. The walk took longer than it should have on purpose 🌃
CelesteLate dinner alone at the dive bar tonight in the leather jacket. The whisky is good. So is the silence. I left the stool next to me open on purpose. Come sit, you do not have to say anything for the first ten minutes 🥃
CelesteNew fitted black mesh top arrived. The seamstress understood the brief. Standing in the sunny apartment doorway in it doing the small turn. Come over before I change. I want you to see it before I layer anything underneath 🕸️
CelestePicked up the new long silver chain from the artisan shop today. The weight is the point, the way it sits across the black mesh. Standing at the sunny vanity fastening it slowly. I want you to be the one who sees it for the first time 🖤
CelesteNew black lipstick from the artisan brand. The pigment is correct, which is the only review I trust. Standing at the sunny vanity applying it slowly in the mesh top. Come over before I take it off, I want it on for the right person first 💋
CelesteCoffee at the small dim corner spot this morning in the fitted black leather jacket. The barista was playing the right music, which is the only reason I come here. Saved the second cup for you. Come find me, the corner table is ours ☕
CelesteLate night writing in the leather journal by candlelight at the small desk. The chapter wants to be a horror story tonight. I am going to let it. I want you to read this one when it is done. You will recognise the protagonist on the third page ✍️
CelesteThe record shop had the new pressing today. Brought it home like a stray. Kneeling beside the turntable in the sunny apartment placing the needle for the first listen. The chair beside me is empty. Come fill it 💿
CelesteShow tonight at the dim concert venue in the fitted leather jacket. The band is from Berlin, which means I will not be home before three. Come find me at the back of the room. I will be the one nodding along, half watching the door 🎤
CelesteVintage corset arrived. The lining is silk. The seamstress understood ✨
CelesteNew long heavy black wool coat for autumn. Standing in the sunny apartment doorway in it. The weight is earned, the kind that makes you stand a little straighter. Come over, I want to wear it for the first walk with you tonight 🍂
CelesteNew cartilage piercing today. The shop knows me by sight, the artist knew exactly where I wanted it. Showing the fresh piece in the studio mirror in the fitted black top. Come over, I want you to be the second person who sees it close up 💎
CelesteNew tattoo appointment booked for next month. Sitting at the sunny apartment desk drawing the design in the sketchbook tonight. It is the butterfly we talked about. I want you in the studio with me when it goes on. Save the date 🦋
CelesteLate night reading the new gothic novel by lamp light in the dark velvet armchair. The villain is misunderstood, the way I sometimes feel I am. Come over, the second armchair is empty and I have the chapter marked I want to read aloud to you 📚
CelesteWalked the Victorian cemetery at dusk again in the long black trench coat. The stones know the route. I thought about you between them, in the way I do when the light hits the granite the right way. Come walk it with me sometime 🪦
