About

NOTE: As of 2019, I have decided to take a break from writing for this blog, where the rest of my written work is seen through my platform, Camp Thirlby, and elsewhere. This does not mean that Fractured Aesthetic is done for good, but that she is resembling of a certain part of my life (a whopping five years!), and that I've evolved to other, and greater, writing outlets.

Fractured Aesthetic: the working title and brandname for the blog run by Natalie Geisel, but also the term to describe my (and many others') style, which can be defined as a style that is never stable and complete; a constantly changing, even broken, aesthetic that is based on what the wearer likes, not others; a style that is used as a means of self-expression and ubiquity that does not need to follow the so-called fashion rules ("Forget the rules. If you like it, wear it.").

What to expect: Here I mostly ramble on (but in an artistic manner) about my strange thoughts about fashion, what I'm wearing, why I'm wearing it, the thing I was doing while I was wearing it, etcetera. Basically, everything's about the clothes, but everything's more than the clothes. That's my view on it all: my life is fashion, but fashion is so much more than fashion. Sometimes I do normal fashion-blogger things and review shows I never got invited to, but most of the time I keep it personal, unique, me-centric (but not selfishly). And as of late, I've been expanding my writing to music and culture-related things, and now mostly focus on LGBTQ+ topics. Exciting stuff! Expect to see new, full-length posts usually once a week filled with photos and my own words of wisdom. Then, on those days where you're not blessed with a new post, I'll be updating regularly on my Instagram and Twitter.

Now it's your turn: If you enjoy reading my posts, feel free to do one (or all) of the following:

• SUBSCRIBE. In my sidebar, under the description of myself and above the search bar, you'll see a little box that says "TYPE EMAIL + ENTER". If you want to get notifications from me every time I post through your email (who wouldn't want that?), just enter your email address, confirm your email/that you want to subscribe to me (in a followup email), and voila! I'll become one of those obnoxious websites that pesters you, except it'll only be, like, once a week.
• FOLLOW. This step is more complex because I'm now officially part of every social media ever. The obvious sites are at the right of my blog, just under the photo of me, with cute little icons that link you to all my social media. Here they are again: twitter, instagram (which I use the most), facebook, pinterest, and tumblr. 
• COMMENT. Say what you feel, what you like, what you don't like, anything in the comments section below every post. 
• SHARE. You can share online by sharing my posts through Pinterest, Facebook, retweeting/reblogging me, simply promoting me, etcetera, or you can tell your IRL friends about me and my writing. The more, the merrier!
• If you have questions/are interested in a collaboration/guest speaker/topic requests/just want to chat, EMAIL ME. My email is geisel.natalie@gmail.com, and it is open to anyone who has business inquiries or just any old inquiries. I'll answer all. You can also DM ME on Instagram if your requests are shorter, which I'll probably answer in a more timely manner as I spend most of my waking hours on that app.
• Or the simplest... Just keep reading my posts.
