Phantom Limb

Gah, a Topshop Wishlist. I want everything, and hopefully I will soon have the money to buy it! *sigh*





And I want one of these, but Black or Brown? I'm swaying towards black..





Might go out later to meet my friend Jack's new boyfriend, for starbucks and sitting in the library, but we'll see. Whatever happens I intend to post some photos later on, Ta x

Ask me to stay

This week has gone super slow. Feeling that I should post today, I haven't done in a while and blog feels a little neglected and empty. I've had a busy week, haven't had a lunch break at all this week - pretty killer. Probably failed my chemsitry exam, and I have physics on monday that I really need to start revising for my before that commences, I MUST RELAX.
Went out last night, well over to a friends house with a whole lot of us for Poker, Pizza, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre which I've seen too many times. I decided to do a bit mroe background reading on the classic horror this morning, and read about the story behind Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 Michael Bay remake anyway, shamfully never seen the original) and the serial killer who inspired Leatherface was fucked up, go read about him yourself if you have the guts - it's seriously horrible.
Anyway enough of that :D I'm just working today so will probably not come across anything of note, babysitting tonight because I need some money. A quick fashion note, because I found these on one of my favourite blogs, the famous Tavi Gevinson (http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com), and I LOVE THIS LOOK





From Chanel at some point, I haven't been able to find out when, but uh, so Marie Antoinette, speaking of which I just have to post this, reblogged from another of my favourite blogs: http://j-ad0re.tumblr.com/



Go check ou both blogs, read about Serial Killers, and have a nice weekend!

Bittersweet

I just woke up, and realised I've been pretty silent since saturday, my bad! Doing tons of revision atm and probably won't get round to something really decent by next week when exams are over, will try and take some pics when my new topshop stuff arrives though, in the mean time; this.



It's valentines day soon and I've had someone on my mind for ever now.

Request of the day,

BOYFRIEND PLEASE.

Practising a magic trick

Haven't posted in quite a while, sorry sorry sorry! I haven't really god much to say, but I'll try and write something worth reading.
I've had quite a busy week, I've got science exams all week so I've been revising quite a bit, and have alot of art coursework to do as it's all due to be sent off in early febuary (eeek!) Sooooo... Haven't got round to doing much but work, went to a printing studio yesterday for the day, got some amazing work done but now I'm covering in oil based ink which artists will know, doesn't come off. I was using blues and greens and yellows and I now just look bruised and abused.
I other news, I've ordered a couple of things because I discovered I have money! :D I don't really have any money after all this lot but still, I can't wait til it arrives in the post :D


Aggie from Topshop, they're disappearing fast and I had to stay up for about 3 days to get a new pair on ebay, I just couldn't resist. I feel like the worst of sinners.


Lace skater dress from Topshop, sold out about 3 minutes after I ordered it - I swear they only make about half the number of size 6's than 8's, 10's, and 12's! Damn being so skinny.




Oh and I won these little patent brogues on ebay for £2.50 the other day! They came in the post and are faaaaaaaaaab, I look hilarious in them, and I am most defnately going to do the charleston in them.



When my topshop purchases arrive, expect a huge rant about how amazing they are - I'm never gunna take that dress off. P.S MORE ART SOON!

Human Skin can be hard to live in

Another art post, these are the torso studies that go with my last art post:



Hopefully i'll get round to posting something a bit bigger this weekend, sorry this week has been so boring. I'll try and do something to do with clothes this weekend, anyway happy wednesday!

p.s I just won some new brogues on ebay for £2.50! Good Timessssss

Oh, It's Love

This dress, is LOVE. Chloe Sevigny an 2010 Golden Globes, Valentino Dress.

Blood Bank

An art based post today, I'm still doing GCSE but currently a little more liberal and interesting - here's a couple of pictures of what I've been doing, apologise for shitty quality, I've misplaced my camera and my old one doesn't do these justice.

Observational Drawing using a Mannequin - 2B 6B HB and eraser on 130 gsm cartridge:




Reproducing Matisse in alternative media - watercolour and 2B
This one looks awful as well but I asure you I am actually okay and Art in real life! I'll try and get hold of a scanner to get these on in better quality.

Why would you want to live anywhere else

A sort of Nostalgia

I feel the need to post something not about clothes, but instead about Myself. Being a human, I do have a life outside of clothes. Photo post of my current life:

I intent to read these two this month, F. Scott Fitzgerald because I'll be studying The Great Gatsby next year - MUST familiarise myself. Perfume because my mum read it, and told me that I should read it because it's strange like me. I love my mum.


OM1 and OM20 SLR's, Tamron Macro Lens - My dad didn't need them anymore so I took the advantage, they shoot nicely in low light, must remember to get my films developed also.






My cat is simply the best. She knows kung fu and WILL fuck you up.

We'll do it anyway cuz we love a bit of trouble

I'm home alone, everyone's gone out, so I decided to try and make things seems a little more summery by dressing up for summer! Sounds insane I know, but when the weather's this bleak I've got to keep the faith that summer WILL appear some time in the near future, so here we go, a summer outfit:

Shorts: Zara
Top: Vintage - cut it up myself
Sandals: Office
Bag: Vintage



Hello no make-up and natural MASSIVE hair! Although somehow I quite like







Speaking of which need to clean my mirror as well. I feel a to-do list coming on!


In other news, back on the Dub scene the other day, found this absolute banger! Going to Man On The Moon some time soon for a night of Dub, should be good, lotsa skankin'



Should be back again next week, I'm busy revising for chemistry exams tomorrow x
p.s I must stop misusing the semi colon and colon. I'll also start trying to post things with a little more substance, and a few more words, rather than endless out-of-focus pictures of myself.

Futureproof

Going out tonight to a gig, couple of bands I know, should be good :) Just thoughhttttt seeing as I look nice - a rare happenning - took some photosssss:

Close Enough to be Your Ghost

Little photo post today, I love Arctic Monkeys today also.
The combination of nude tones and traditional art is irresitable

Human Of The Year

Hello! :D
I'm back, with a little post for today. How are we all? I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, school and everything, college applications, very busy at the moment. I've had a good week so far, have been in such a good mood all the time! It's faaaaab.
Anyway, on to something important. A couple of my friends are hiring a club for valentines day, and I've decided what i'm gunna wear, bascially away; here it is!




Topshop Shorts & Shirt, for once my hair went decent natural, yays

The Saltwater Room

I have totally failed to keep my promise to blog every day, I'm sorry, but I honestly don't have the time or the energy right now. Bit of a weird post today, in a little bit of a weird mood. This blog is becoming very similar to many 'fashion blogs' I keep stumbling upon, but I think I'd just like to mention that I've decided this blog is nothing to do with Fashion or style, it's just about my life. Which happens to be based heavily on fashion, amongst other things might I add. Okay so today I'm just posting these three pictures, you can do with them what you will, for some reason I just have an urge to post these three.
First of those most people will never recognise, unless of course you happen to be in the Norwegian Black Metal Scene - unlikely. I'm back listening to black metal and I have to say I've missed it! I probably don't look like a black metal girl, and I'm not, I just happen to really love it. This particular band is Mayhem, very sick and twisted, but sometimes I like sick and twisted. One of the previous band members commited suicide, and on finding his body another band member took some photographs of the corpse which were then used as album artwork. It's so fucked up, but somehow weirdly wonderful.
I'm working on my final art CW for GCSE, some Matisse, these are just little pieces that I might include, but I like the shape of the model. And the last is just my face, I don't know why but I felt the need to show you what I look like a bit more, there's alot of me in this blog, but not really in photo form.

Might be back later, x

I want be the last first kiss, that you'll ever have

Went to the post office, wore some clothes

Grow Up, Peter Pan.

Not too much to say today but I'll probably be going out later, might post some pictures of what I'm wearing, in the mean time;








The first of those pictures, I love. It looks like a photomanip or something but I asure you it is 100% real! :D It's in Paris, and I think it's some sort of modern art, but I'm not quite sure - it is real though.
Today I'm liking pastel blues, pastels are in for spring as well, yay yay yay :D Now we just need some sunny weather to match!

Ruffles and Loveliness at Marc Jacobs; 2010 S/S RTW



An update for the infamous trench at Burberry Prorsum, I LOVE. 2010 S/S RTW


That's about it for now, back soon!

Mary was a different girl, had a thing for astronauts

Mary was the type of girl, she always liked to fall apart''
Mmmm, bit of 30 Second To Mars - Always good.

Well here is todays good news, this is the skirt I won from ebay for £4.44 :D good times! It's from dorothy perkins, a kind of pleated, floral, puffbally thing. I was thinking that my wardrobe was beginning to lack colour (I literally live in gray.) So I decided this would be a good investment, and maybe the floral would make me look less like a small boy. When I wear it I shall post some more photos and can you tell me if I have been successful in doing so :')





I'm not very busy this weekend so hopefully should be back posting like crazy to make up for this week, which has been quite empty blog wise. Anyway I must go and watch outnumbered, caio

Thank God for Attics.

Wheyyy, don't you just love it when you go in your attic to look through all the crap, and you find old clothes that are awesome?! Happenned to me yesterday, good times. Here it is, bag from The National Trust - hardcore - that I think my mum got many many many many many years ago; feast yer eyes on this.



Oh and while I'm here this as well, shorts from the Zara sale £17, cliche mix with lace and belt I know but I wasn't have the most creative of days. Bit of a funny angle and my legs look proper weird, the shorts are also more high waisted than they look here, look more like cut offs (:
Might be back at some point for a lookook based post but I'm gunna go for a walk first.

This is the Future

Just woke up and decided I'd share with you the best looks from LookBook over the last 12 hours :D cuz I think that's about as interesting as my posts are gunna get today :(
So here we have the 3 best; all pictures from Lookbook and owned by the people who took them, I take no credit, just admire their style :D

Claire W

Apart from being utterly flawless and beautiful, and from edinburgh which automatically makes you amazing, Claire W has created something super lovely :D Topshop cameo skirt - I want. She also has an amazing tumblr account, go check her out;

Stefan C

Decided to choose a guy this time *Shock Horror*, but Stefan C we have here, is indeed cool. Jumper from Beyond Retro - It's a fab jumper anyway, fact that it's from Beyond Retro adds to the fabness, and I actually love those river island boots. AND He's from Brighton, a brilliant place, where I too am from 8)

Coline H

Two words. THE SHOES. They're from Bronx, and they are brutal. I wantttttttt. Love the skirt as well, studded shoes and floral skirt is a good combination.

Off to have a shower now, and extra points to anyone who noticed the Owl City track that is the title of this blog :') much love.
