the tales of love and death
photographed by: caro ramirez (website | blog | flickr); concept, art direction, styling by: avalonne hall

This is a story about a girl. The girl, Avalonne Hall of Hong Kong, London and San Francisco, grew up believing that she'd never truly be happy until the day she met the one. Since the disintegration of previous engagements and experiences with love, she'd only love two things after that. The first was her short dark hair (and vintage clothes). The second was her blog (and friends and family of course). This is a story of girl who doesn't meet a boy and enjoys writing her silly blog and dressing up for any occasion. But you should know upfront, this is not a love story.

February 11th has finally arrived, which means the launch of my new and polished blog. I am so excited to embark on this journey with enthusiasm and positive energy with the help of my friends, Caro for photographing this collection of photos titled The Tales of Love and Death and Shy for illustrating my blog's triangle heart logo, which was designed by me. Even though the girl from hk, ldn & sf is now defunct, I think it has been a very painless transition. I take life as a huge metaphor and I try to translate that into my daily life and this change is hugely metaphorical to me. I think that with big, devastating changes means reinvention of oneself. This reinvention has been so inspiring and liberating, I think this change has been the best thing to happen to me. I know my old blog was such a huge part of my life, it defined my 2010, but 2010 is in the past and now I'm moving on.

I know that there will always be negative energy and obstacles in life and I can't keep avoiding them or changing my blog, but this blog is going to be forever. I've decided that this is who I want to be for the rest of my life. Growing up, I always knew I wanted a pseudonym when I start making movies and creating art, such as Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, Diane Keaton, etc. So I've decided I want to take on the name Avalonne for real. Although people will always know me as [fill in the blank] and I'll always respond to those names and remember those memories fondly, but I know that this transition is pertinent and will change my life forever.

I know that no matter what period my life will be in, whether it be a blue period or rose period or multicolored period, I know that life is a beautiful experience, even with the crying and heartbreak and hyperventilating. Even though life, feelings and emotions are ever changing, I want my blog to be a consistent and permanent aspect in my life. Although this is my new blog and I have a new found perspective, my voice will remain the same. I know that life has thrown me some great obstacles (which are incomparable to the horrible things in life), but I know that I will always want to be a good person with consistent morals and ethics. I will not change who I am, because of my past experiences. I love myself and I hope you will love my blog as much as I do. This is to a beautiful and adventurous 2011 and many more wonderful and exciting friendships and achievements!

Goodbye the girl from hk, ldn & sf and hello avalonne hall!


Yours truly,
Avalonne Hall
