Magic becomes art when it has nothing to hide

“I’m a victim, of this day and age, I’ve forgotten how to feel, I’ve forgotten how to change...”
Today's anthem - 'Choices' by The Hoosiers.

I had a little photoshoot with Abi yesterday and I thought I'd share a few of my faves with you...







I wish I knew how to make my pictures bigger on here... do I have to change the layout perhaps?

Ahh well m'dears, hope you're all having a nice weekend!

The world's so much better when you don't fit

I went to the garden centre with my darling grandmother this afternoon - she was on a hunt for plant pots. I however got distracted by some rather groovy cacti' ....






My song for the day - "Ladder in my Tights" by Amy Studt. I used to love her music; it's so down-to-earth and pleasantly aggressive. Her lyrics make me smile because I can relate, but not to the extreme of wanting to blow up houses, though that does sound fun... just kidding. Mwahaha. n_n
The song's mostly about not fitting in, which is something that a lot of people experience, and undoubtedly so do my darling cacti' - they look different and are therefore easily dismissed, but the fact they're unusual makes them all the more beautiful. What do you think true beauty means? Feel free to leave a comment and discuss :)

On to other unusual and beautiful things...


My new necklace that I am absolutely in love with! It's from Dorothy Perkins - I also saw a silver 'Happily Ever After' necklace in the same style from Topshop a while ago (which was nearly twice as expensive!)

I went on a hunt for cameo jewellery today; after the disappointment of missing out on the most gorgeous belt in the universe - it was on sale for £45! Ridiculous right?! But it was by a designer called Galliano and it was electric pink with a chunky cameo at the front. My mum gasped at the price and demanded I make my own instead... and so I shall.
I bought a few more similar cameo's in different colours as they were only £1 from this vintage jewellery shop near my Gran's house. I'll probably turn them into brooches or an eclectic necklace (with ribbons, pearls and other sparkly things..) tehe.

Purely Indulgent

With my photography deadline looming it's ugly head (tomorrow, eeeeek!) I had to go into town to get my last minute final prints sorted - and I ended up spending more money on printing photos than on my trip to London next week!
And the spending spree didn't stop there... we found some sort of medieval market going on in the square. And in the midst of Eco-friendly clothing, ornate jewellery, fruity jams in glass jars, wiry statuettes, and all the Victorian-dressed towns folk frolicking around, we found fairy cakes! You can tell my heritage is wasted on me.... but look how pretty!




They're by a company called 'Pure Indulgence', a tad pricey if you're a sugar-craving teen like moi, but if you've got an event coming up they'd be.... well, the icing on the cake ;) www.pureindulgencecakes.co.uk/
Geez, with a giant cookie the other day and now onto glittering fairy cake bliss, I'll be signing on for dentures in no time!

My song for the day is "You and I Collide" by Howie Day. I'm not in a mellow mood or anything, it's simply beautiful t'is all. Also, listen to "Pull Shapes" by the Pippettes it's more upbeat, retro-pop ;)
Hope you're all having a lovely week!

p.s. To my darling art buddies Rosanna and Grace - I miss you already! And my dear drama buddies - it feels like an end of an era :( Mr Betterton would not approve!
