I have just gone to college for my first of four physics practical exams, only to find that I was an hour & a half late. I'd written the times down wrong. & now I am, officially, the flakiest stupidest person on the planet. Or so it feels like. At least it was a re-take. At least it was just my money I wasted. Cried & screamed along to Be Your Own Pet all the way home. Now I've taken to my bed, with food, a laptop, a phone & an A2 physics text book to mope/get prepared for tomorrows 9am exam (I will triple check the time). Sucks I can't even go out & take out my frustrations on some sweaty people in a mosh pit.

Fuck.

View BERLIN VINTAGE in a larger map




Honestly, after Monday's post I intended to get throughly back into the blogging swinging things. Unfortunately the reality of 4 physics exams in 3 days followed by a 2 day art exam the following week have come crashing down on me. So here's a quick post displaying my life at the moment. The first is the map of vintage shops in Berlin I have just made for my trip there in the summer. Well looking forward to it. & how awesome is google maps? Then there's the art...potato prints!

I've been sticking dots all over my world map until I ran out of dots. It's in aid of the thing I have found to do with my life. I know! Finally! I hope you are saying if you've read this blog for a bit. You'll know I'm unfocused & unmotivated, unwanting to go to university & do a course I don't really want to having spent 3 years in college working at "degree level" anyhow. So it's pretty much a big deal. But I didn't want to tell anyone about it to curse it...me & my big mouth... So let's leave it at that. I'm very VERY excited. & now no longer feel the need to spend the next 2 months finishing my physics A Level. Uhm...not good.

Plus whilst sending images from my phone I remembered the blue bell walk I went on with my motley crue last week just outside Bristol (I want to say Portbury...behind that religious kids thing Noah's Ark). A little word in for the iPhone who takes surprisingly high quality photos. The old school one though, none of this new "I'm too good to be held" shit. Anyway, it was absolutely beautiful. They weren't fully fully out but they should be by now so if you know of a wooded area go & look for some blue bells. I reckon Britain does woods the best you know. French get parks, who gets forests?

Ok I've got worrying shakes from being hyper, doing too much in too little time, lack of sleep & abundance of chocolate from Easter. I think this signals the time to call it a day. I'm off to catch up on crappy American teen drama. Gotta love the internet.

LOVE!

Woo back to blogging after a week of scheduled posts & lounging in the sunshine. At least I have come back to a blog of lovely pictures. So here's some stuff that's been occupying my brain in terms of collage with photos from weheartit & lovely Pantone colours. Literally the best app I have ever downloaded. The first is my strange longing to combine the new pleat trend with midi skirt length & that Jil Sander show & dress which has pretty much been everywhere only to be replaced with Prada. 48 covers!? Madness. So the ideal is a coral, high waisted, odd in length, knife/accordion pleated skirt. Obviously not new due to the infamous resolution so I'll be trawling eBay/etsy/charity shops instead. Because once again I have managed that strange illusion of creating a garment in my mind that may or may not in fact exist.

The second collage is for matte red lipstick. I know, I know, red lipstick has been done to death. But there's something in me that has longed for my hair to be properly ginger again & to finally own the perfect fur coat so I can set off red lipstick perfectly. I might have to get a gangster boyfriend & take up smoking but hey...details, details. Until then I heard MAC are good for matte lipsticks that don't disappear by the time you get home, as all my other lipsticks do. Mainly because I'm a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to un-everyday make up.

Happy Easter!

The quarterly THE/END.MAGAZINE is something I've only just discovered. & fallen head over for their weird/explicit/lovely photography. Trying to figure out how I can get my hand on an actual real life hard copy...whilst I mull on that you can view all the issues online here: LINK.

So what did you guys think of the image rich, fashion & *me* sparse posting? It was quite nice for me, but man this is never gonna be a design blog mainly because I can't keep up with all that shit. I can just about look at ffffound & be amazed into a creative lull about once a month, & itsnicethat is unblocked at work so I pretty much keep up with that & the randomness that my brother sends me. But hell, I guess tumblr rules all, just needs more referencing, non?

Mag love.

When I came across the last image via Inspire me, now, on flickr HERE, I added "go to San Francisco & take photos of buildings like this" to my non-existent mental list of things to do. It's simply mental what lengths humans will go to live wherever the fuck they choose. Having lived on a giant hill all my life & heard tales of endless hedonistic bohemia, I've always somewhat romanticized San Francisco, this just fed it more. I flipped the second image, LINK, so as when you look at them you start to feel like the whole world is leaning to the right. & first LINK.

SF love.

You may have come across Supermundane's work in any number of places, most notably in their covers for Anorak (the kids magazine with the awesome covers) but damn can he write too. Also kind of adore that first font even though it breaks my typographical tendencies for ease of reading. For more head to here: LINK.

Graphic love.
