I'm stuck on a train somewhere beyond Reading after an impulsive decision to get on a train at about eleven last night and meet my boyfriend somewhere between Bristol and London.

Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely lovely. But right now I'm meant to be in a classroom doing a physics experiment in preparation for my practical exam.

Luckily before I decided to go out and 'celebrate' handing in all my coursework, I started a post on what I was wearing yesterday PLUS some more exciting news, so here is that::


Not amazingly interest but I was thinking that I normally only post up pictures of me when I'm going out, because that's when other people are taking pictures of me... so this is everyday!


My face is not made for morning, apologies.


Tried to a get a picture of the beautiful bullet/crystal necklace my boyfriend got his friend to make me about a year ago. It's spent most of it's life being glued back together at my local jewelry shop.

And new shoes! New shoes! They're laced up all down the front with peep toe and peep heel (?) which I'm not especially sure of. My friend got them on the Topshop website and although my Topshop cull continues I figured I could justify buying them off her for a knock down price.

Oh yes and I don't think I've shown you my wall.
I've been thinking of getting this equation tattooed on my arm for a while now so I decided to spray paint it on my wall, so now I stare at it everyday. And you know what? It's still damn beautiful...


And FINALLY the more exciting news...

I've started an etsy shop!
Beginning with some vintage I no longer have room for in my heart

Although me & Jesus are in the experimental phase of developing it a lot more so stay tuned & I'll keep you well and truly up to date, guaranteed!

Just realized how full of things I've done impulsively this post is.

- getting on a train in the middle of the night
- spray painting a giant equation on my wall
- starting an etsy shop (sort of)

Hmm... maybe that's something I need to work on


What's the most impulsive thing you've ever done?

PS. Thank you so much to all the new followers and commenters
I've tried to get back to you all but it's so hard to keep up.
So many beautiful, creative, talented people, so very little time...

Dear magic fairy in the sky,

Well...you know it's my 18th in a few weeks & I've asked everyone for jewelry? I was thinking maybe you could fix it so they magically all knew each other & decided to club together & buy me this necklace of absolute perfection.

At $115 I don't think I'll be able to afford it in these 'saving-up-for-the-future' times but you know I'd rock it so beautifully. & even though madewell have clubbed together with one of my arch nemis' for a new collection they do sell rather beautiful jewelry, which can be found here. If you were interested.

Oh & in an ideal world the earrings too would be lovely, but I know your very busy & it's a little short notice. But maybe if you could somehow fix it so this made it's way around my neck, I'd be eternally great full & tidy your room for a whole week! If you'd like.

Well thank you magic fairy, I can't wait for your reply

Me and Jesus simultaneously came to the same realization that there's a lot of blue nail varnish floating about at the moment. It delveloped into a bit of an obsession until eventually I took the step of 'borrowing' my friend Heidi's blue nail varnish to become one of 'those girls'.

I'm not entirely sure why it's so appealing. There's something about the feeling of when your little and you start wearing make up for the first time.

That low quality stuff that sticks together or dries up too quickly that you got free in a magazine.

It's also a pretty standard (and therefore cheap) colour. Heidi got hers in Asda for less than £2

Here's my recreation. Apologies for the photo quality and hair issues. I've been sat on my bedroom floor with my laptop all morning trying to write my English essay on Othello...

For about three years I just wore white nail varnish (the stuff your meant to use for manicure tips), that was my look, in fact an old friend once told me the world would turn upside down if I stopped wearing white nail varnish.

This year though I've branched out. So sorry Max, but actually the world turns upside down everyday...

Waiting for someone to go to New York so they can get me some black KO matte nail varnish.
(every time I try and pay for it on the website it doesn't go through...just me??)

Also saw a very lovely H&M sales assistant wearing bright orange sparkly nail varnish. She told me it was this sparkle & fade polish from Urban Outfitters

Which would go perfectly with my latest purchase of Rimmel's Coral Queen lipstick after falling in love with the Mac Morange shade on everyone at the moment

What make up are you loving at the moment?

My plans for summer

Worn under

On cold nights around a barbecue

Looking for vintage slips & nighties everywhere. Figuring I'll just float around in these however cold it is this summer.

To balance it out though I've also been hunting for 'male' jackets. However, the blazers been done, leathers been done, what other jackets do they wear? ISSUE

I know, I know, not very season appropriate but I'm tired of big jumpers

Aren't you?

(from Slaughterhouse 5)

RESOLUTIONSREDISCOVERED

Happy February! To kick off the month I'm looking back at the New Year's Resolutions I made on New Years Eve & how I've been getting on... & it's a good excuse to find loads of lovely images from the wonderful internet...here goes.

1. Waste less money on CDs, Clothes & books

Well I don't think I'm 'wasting' as much as I used too. I now make endless lists & don't allow myself to purchase anything that isn't on it. So I guess I'm more focused...

2. Read some classic books

Ok, so I started the year reading Slaughterhouse 5 & then moved onto Valley of the Dolls. Both sort of classics but I've also bought Stendal's, The Red and the Black and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to read after I've finished Paul Dirac's biography. So yeah I'm on track!

3. Sell old clothes I don't wear

Haven't started on this at all. It takes so damn long to sort through everything and photograph it and upload it and hope someone buys it and post it etc etc etc. But half terms not too long away so maybe I'll have some time on my hands then...

4. Stay in love

It was rocky for a little while. But our planet is back in perfect rotation.

5. Party less & sleep more

Between birthdays, band nights I've somehow been connected with and end of exams I've still been out most nights and still don't feel un-tired (if that's even a word) ever.

6. Watch all those films I've bought & never seen

Done. Done. Done. My best mate went through a really hard time with a girl who screwed up his heart so we spent a lot of time smoking and watching beautiful films. Actually finally saw Paris, Texas and fell utterly in love

7. Work harder at college

Sort of. Exams are over so a lot of pressure's off. Coursework in English so that's easier. & quantum in physics so it's more interesting. Plus an extension on my photography deadline. Yeah college is pretty sorted right now.

8. Decide what to do with my life

The biggin' (as we say here in the west country) Well I've realized what to do for at least another year. Going round the open days as all the University of the Arts London, college open days (St Martins, London College of Fashion, Camberwell, LCC etc) & will be moving to London next year after my A levels. The only question is who with...

9. Go to more comedy gigs

Fail. I have been going to a lot of gigs generally though, does that count?

10. Start making clothes again

Fail again. I've started sketching again though which I guess is a start. It's just a time thing. I wish I had that watch from that program I used to watch as a kid, where he pressed the watch and time stopped. Oh the things I would do...

How are yours going?

WEDUGTHOSEHOLESWECRAWLEDINTO

So series 4 of skins starts tonight. I have mixed feelings on the show, mainly because I live in Bristol and a lot of the cast are people who I've known or run into. Taking it at face value though it is a great show. Although, the first cast will always be my skins cast.

I mean look how moodily series 2 was billed:

& they pretty much stuck with the dull grey lighting throughout.

This series is meant to be more upbeat but I don't know. There's something I just don't really like about most of the characters in season 3 & 4. I don't believe it.

Oh well they know I'll still watch it whatever & I guess that's all that matters.

Who do you prefer? Cast 1 or 2?
