Havana

Only feels like themself when they’ve got a tan, a good dancer (either naturally or learned from a young age), big family get togethers, loud and passionate, comes alive in a crowd, looks amazing in bold colours, denim skirts, subtle but unique scents, vintage cars, statement sunglasses, deep set eyes.

Berlin

Appreciative of Art and History, fashion savvy and cutting edge style, diverse friendship group, loyal, “freaks come out at night”, coloured hair, splashes of colour in otherwise monochromatic settings, good at keeping secrets, the abrupt transition from day to night, owns several pairs of boots, unisex perfume, dark red lipstick, the progressive one in a conservative family.

Oslo

Beanie and flannel but make it fashion, enjoys both cozy nights in and high energy parties with friends, tried their hardest, very affectionate with those close to them, food dates with friends, laughs with their whole body, bites their nails, silver jewellery, aesthetically decorated bedroom, late night drives in the city, conversations with a view.

Sydney

Longs to be famous one day, aesthetic Instagram posts, selfie game on point, sea salt spray, loves the city life, the party don’t start till they walk in, knows everyone and has connections, drinks champagne for all occasions, bold lipstick choices, appears superficial but deeply cares about their friends and family, beaming smiles.

New York

Has a jaded world view, black coffee, still reads the newspaper, has a very specific wine preference, witty, manicured nails wrapped around a cigarette, leaves lipstick stains on coffee cups, always on their phone, Chanel No. 5, mature mindset, insomnia, always on trend, black and white films, the sound of high heels on sidewalks, always busy.

Rome 

Sandals, gelato, can pull off white, history buff, throws coins into wishing wells, gold jewellery, perfectly roasted coffee beans, tucking their hair behind their ear only to have it fall into their face a few second later, distinctive style of sunglasses, walks everywhere, the epitome of someone who “stops to smell the roses”, thick hair.

January

Dark leather draped across broad shoulders, knitted scarves in endless loops to keep warm in freezing months, mixtapes blasting through broken headphones during grey morning hours, thoughts diving ever deeper with new theories. Home is among movies of old under neon lights sparking up a darkened night, freedom is found where a star speckled sky meets a glowing horizon, new memories uncovered in books overflowing with pictures of the happiest of times.

February

Delicate hands covered in colourful spots of paint, dark strands of hair escaping a ribbon tied into a bow, carrying hoodies in a multitude of pastel shades between gentle arms, offering countless warm hugs whenever possible in the chilly winter breeze blowing through the open windows. Hopeless romantic with a heart of gold preferring to stay at home among scattered kick-knacks, random posters on the walls, background noise of a rom-com playing on low.

August

Salt air drifting through strands of dyed hair, lace up sneakers hastily thrown on before sprinting out the door, graffiti left behind on lonely walls, ink printed on skin glowing in the afternoon sunlight streaming through open windows. Finds themselves lost in between the pages of a journal smudged with ink, driving late at night with the windows down, music blasting from speakers blending together with contagious laughter.

December

Warm smiles lighting up a darkened room, smell of cookies straight out of the oven, cinnamon dusted across every countertop with a mug of hot chocolate somewhere in the chaos, sweaters in bright colours warming up any friend stepping through the door. Home is in the small moments with friends following every step along the way, advice given freely whenever someone needs to be heard, under bright lights shining with hope even in the darkest of moments.

March

Several cups of strong coffee scattered over desks, a documentary playing on low volume  somewhere in the background, dark chocolate gaze  staring intensely into the distance, mind always spinning a hundred miles an hour. Often lost among books stacked high in towering piles, analysing anything with a nonchalance of boredom betraying intelligent conversation, moody temperament hiding an endearing side of carefully concealed insanity.

July

Wild laughter cutting through the still summer air, cutoff jeans spinning round in circles matching the beat of drums, bare feet digging paths in forgotten sand along the water's edge, a sparkling bonfire lighting up the never ending sun. Feels most like themselves when outside under the setting sun, driven by a strong spirit that longs for freedom, a touch of youth forever drifting in the wind.
