She'd never heard of Dylan, and the words she sung were wrong


Ohai there lilac hair... whaaaat! Nooo, you didn't?! 
That's right, I didn't - am just a photoshop wizard ya'know ;)
 
My old hair stylist (who was like the camp equivalent of captain hook) told me ages ago I'd look good with purple hair. At the time I laughed in his face, but now I duno, it's growing on me... or rather I wish it was, but I know if I bleach my hair it'll be ruined forever and I'm torn because I love my ombre ends. I doubt I'll ever have the nerve to dye it fully, ah well, we can all dream right?   




In other news, my course has started and I'm doing a knitwear module right now. I'm rarely proud of the things I make (perfectionist to the core yo') but I've never used a knitting machine before now soo this sample square I made, featuring ladders and lace holes, makes me rather happy. Even though it doesn't look like much I'm really proud of it - so much so it made it onto my notice board (ie the wall of all things awesome and weird) along with my new cat-ear alice band, which I've wanted for ages - and now my student funds came through I thought could at least treat myself to a new hairband... plus a jacket, two dresses and a metallic satchel, what am I like ay... Ah well, it's my birthday tomorrow (so I'm allowed to go a little crazy okay ;) I might do a video post on the things I've acquired recently, if that be something that interests you guys? On that note, these boots, yay or nay? I've never spent that much on footwear before but something about them make me want to squeal and jump into the air (like the cool cat I am :P).

  5. Genuinely thought that was real at first there. The lilac looks incredible... maybe you should photoshop all your photos like that to create the illusion that you've actually gone and done it but you'd still be left with lovely, non-ruined hair in real life. Best of both worlds really ;)
    Very impressed with your little knitted square- I can't even use a normal flipping sewing machine without causing a major disaster (to the extent where I used to take my textiles work home to my mum in year 8 and sit and pretend I was making things every lesson instead)so being able to use a knitting machine is a damn good acheivement as far as I'm concerned!

  6. you should be proud of yourself! o// all the thing you bought sound really great, the headband is the cutest. I'd be a little worried about spending all that on a pair of boots, but they're pretty amazing! if you think you're gonna wear them a lot, you should get them :D
