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.

Laaadeda

Last words from me today people, just some things to amuse in you my absense - I don't know if I'll get round to posting anything tomorrow due to stupidly excessive work load, but here's a few nice things;

I still live in belief (regrettably more like vain, vain hope) that Seth Cohen is not a character, but a real boy, destined to find me and be with me forever, *Sigh.* and bring me Death Cab tickets, but for the record I allow anyone to do that :D



Transaltalticism is an obscenely beautiful song. If you don't listen to or appreciate Death Cab, please depart promptly and sort out your miserable and worthless existance.


Also.
Myself - bit of a let down after Adam Brody to be honest, soz. Anyway, went to a friends house tonight to sit and be comfy and eat and chat and generally catch up, it was nice :) I wore this, incredibly glamorous I think you'll agree.
Jumper; M&S Cashmere - stolen from my dad £65
(underneith I was wearing JW pyjama Shorts £34, and H&M Vest £5)
Black Tights, massively thick and glorious £17 Urban Outiftters
JW Socks £19 SO COMFY
and Biker Boots £70 schuh, they're vegan shoes from Rocket Dog. I'm no where near a vegan. They're just nice.
I also wore a scarf my Grannie knitted and a vintage bag of my mums :D
As you can see I didn't bother in the least with my hair :')

And I'll leave you with this pretty thing I stole off someone's tumblr, credit goes to whoever's it is, and it's lovely. I'm feeling this way about someone right now, I usually am, I'm useless with feelings.


But let's not end on a low, so have a lovely night and a lovely day tomorrow and I shall return soon my young ones :D I'm off to obsess over Lord of the Rings - daily occurance.

Thank God for Mr Wills

Would you look at that I'm back already.
Being fabulously British myself I fucking love Jack Wills. Yes, I admit, the up-yourself stereotype isn't great but I LOVE EVERYTHING THEY DO.
This morning I'm working the PJ shorts and biker boots combo. Yay or Nay?



And to prove just how fabulously British I am, LOOK HOW PALE! ehehehe, although I have to say i do rather like being so pale, I definately don't suit a tan, I take after the tudor queens - they wanted to be extra extra pale (:
Massive JW sale at the moment, got these shorts for £30 :D still quite alot for a pair of VERY small shorts but they're mental and I love them. More things I have my eye on from JW at this very moment in time:
Atwoodley Leggings - £24
Aberlady Shirt - £59
Tornells Shorts - £64 I NEED THESE.





Hmmmm, adds up to quite a sum indeed - it would seem that I need a job! MUST GET JOB. NEED MORE MONEY. Damn my 15 years, it's bascially impossible to get a job. anywhere.
IN other news today i like Owl City alot, might go and see him in Oxford :D fun times
Should probably go and do more work now but but but I might be back later for even more!

JPGAULTIER

Ahhh this morning I woke up and had a sudden urge to revisit the Jean Paul Gaultier 2009 a/w couture collection, heres my faaaaavs.
Also more from LookBook.nu perhaps today, but it depends how much work I have - going out tonight for my friends 16th, not dressing up though cuz all we're doing is sitting around and eating food :D
Here goes JPG
All images from Style.com, not my own sadly



Just got something to say about this one, apart from being astonishing and my absolute favourite from the collection I also LOVE Magdalena Frackowaik - want her face. Isn't it just great.







Have a nice day and I might be back later!

Whaaaam

I'm going out to dinner in a couple of minutes but I thought I'd just post some pictures of what Im wearing;




Jacket; Got this from River Island a while ago, thank god massive shoudlers are back
Dress; this is THE best dress ever, (shorter here, I slyly tucked it in muahaha) about £20 from H&M and I've never seen anyone else in it, it's actually my sisters but I wear it so much it's practically found a new home
Oxfords; £20 from new look, had to be done.
Bag; wanted to make it less formal, only going to the pub, £35 from Topshop in Oxford Street I thinkkk

See you lot tomorrow! x

Bonjour

Good Morning! I decided to post as soon as I woke up today, so that I could keep my promise and not forget (: how are we all this fine morning?
I checked LookBook this morning, too. Here are this morning's best additions:

Bianca V - One of a set of twins who run the awesome clothing company Plastic Skyline; check them out at http://plasticskyline.com/vintage/ they have some really badass stuff, and very affordable too! good times (:
Here's her look, the white Docs (of which i desperately want a pair) give it a grunge edge, good work, Bianca V ;D


Next up we have Rhiannon J, this is a really good set up for summer me thinks. I love the vintage feel to it, I love cut offs so so much, I have a stupid number of pairs that I can't wait to get out in summer! Anyway I love this look, and she has amazing hair too (: super badass.


I LOVE this next look, from Abbe M, the hat, I want. It's super super awesome. And I love the gold chains as well, there's something very vintage but still modern about this: MASTERPIECE.


If anyone else has a LookBook account then let me know and I'll definately go and check out your looks :D

Now, I'm sure you've all seen it already and fallen in love with it but is anyone else stupidly obsessed with Audrey Tatou's Chanel No.5 advert? It's like a small film, made by the guy who made Amelie, and it's just sublime. I've watched it many a time on youtube now, I want it on film it's that amazing, if you haven't seen it then, shame on you, and watch it now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-ngh-9eeMo



Today I'll be staying at home, I planned to go charity shopping this week but I doubt I'll have time as I've got work to do, including an obscene amount of art, sad times :( Anyway I will post tomorrow, and maybe post a look about what I'm wearing too - I'll be wearing trackies all day today and I don't think that really counts as fashion forward :') Going to my friends 16th tomorrow night, and off out to dinner tonight as well - Actually speaking of which, I might post what I'm wearing after that if I'm not too tired when i get home :)
I should probably stop rambling now but I'll leave you with today's best Tumblr image:

I adore GaGa, she's super badass.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

A day late but I figured no one would be greatly offended, how was everyones christmas? I got a few things, got my laptop and iphone earlier in the year so my parents were reluctant to get me anything super big. Nevertheless I got In Vogue which is bascially a HUGE illustrated history to Vogue, and everything in and about it. Unfortunately focuses on American Vogue (well it would do wouldn't it) which is a bit of a bummer seeing as French Vogue is easlier a million times prettier, but hey atleast it's Vogue of one sort or another. Got some super nice paintbrushes from my mum too, and a ton of other stuff.


Theres been alot of good stuff on LookBook.nu recently, I visit the site religiously and am hoping that I will soon be invited to join (sigh...) here are my 3 picks of the day (:
1 - Chloe W - Got myself a pair of sequin shorts like this the other day, super badass, if I do say so myself. I love the ripped tights, and the braces - got a pair which I rarely wear, might try them like this (:


This is super super super cute, I love the mix of florals and breton stripes, got a floral skirt a bit like this pattern on ebay yesterday for £4.44 - not bad! I can't wait for it's arrival then I shall experiment :D


And last but not least, this lovely one from Anda B, I particularly like her looks, and I love her hair, and I WANT HER AMAZING SOFA.


Found this on someone's Tumblr account, i'm loving wet look and leather leggings at the moment - when they first appeared i was sceptical about the whole thing but they're growing on me, might get a pair for this months partying..

Right, now that I feel i have written a decent post, I promise that I will keep this as fresh and frequently as I possibly can (Apologies that things will probably get busy this year, I'll be applying for college soon YAY!)
Anyway, Happy New Year x
