Model it like a curse half disguised


Title lyrics "Parallel Lines" by the Junior Boys.

It was my mum's birthday today and we're off out for dinner than to the cinema. Here's what I'm wearing:

'scuse my daft expression, but I honestly didn't realise it was being taken...



* Leatherette Jacket, £40, Unknown
* Lace Dress, £25, Dorothy Perkins
* Belt, £5, American Apparel
* Stocking tights, £8, Topshop
* 'Once Upon A Time' necklace, £15, Dorothy Perkins
* Shoes, £7, Thrifted


My look was kind of inspired by Taylor Momsen, mostly because of my new suspender tights - which fit perfectly into the current 'underwear as outerwear' trend that's been featured on this season's catwalks by the likes of Jean-Paul Gaultier and Dior.
Soo, Underwear as Outerwear ayy??? Well, it's doesn't mean doing a Superman and wearing bright red undies over your leggings (you could try it... though I wouldn't really recommend it)
Some ways you could achieve this trend; teaming delicate babydoll dresses with bold tailored jackets, lace bodices, corsets, crop tops, slips, camisoles, silk petticoats, stockings / over-knee socks, and most importantly confidence! The look can also be toughened up a bit with bold zips, ripped tights and biker boots.

Warning: This is a pretty head-turning trend that may pose certain risks to those of the opposite sex... potentially causing an increased heart beat, which may result in them shouting random sexual comments at you in their distracted state, as they walk directly into a lampost.... not that lil' old me could ever cause such an incident ;) ahaha.

I just opened a christmas cracker (yes, I know we're in June ^^) but my family pull out the christmas crackers on every possible occasion. Oh they're amazingly cool... anyway, I got a joke for ya'

"What do you get if you cross a fridge and a stereo?"
- Cool music.

ahahaha :') .... yeahhh, I know, it's not funny.

Ahh well my darling bloggers, have a lovely evening!
"See y'all on the flipside, aiight!" .... naaah, I'm not cool enough to pull that off.

I can see your eyes turn blue, I can see the weather change in you

Blog title: 'Cold Summer' by Seabear - really loving this song atm.



Not sure if I really like this picture, but I wanted to do a 'What I'm Wearing' post, and for that to be done I needed a photo. So here goes....
* Denium shirt - New Look, £20
* Hareem shorts - Topshop, £30
* Vest - Peacocks, £1.50
* Grey socks - Primark, £2
* Plimpsoles - New Look, £5,
* Shopper bag - Topshop (obviously) free!


Tbh. this look was inspired by yesterday's episode of 'Fock Me' on T4. Everyone seemed to be wearing a lot blue - afterall the episode's theme was 'the Americana look'. Which means a lot of; high waisters, double and triple denium, (classic hi-top) trainers, Grease inspired, varsity jackets, stars and stripes, over-the-knee socks teamed with short shorts, baseball caps... all swamped in a pallet of red, white & blue.
I absolutely can't wait for next weeks episode! Romantic look + Nottingham + Ellie Goulding = perfection.

So it's the begining of study leave and well.... I get easily distracted. Who studies during study leave anyway? ......ermmm, EVERYONE!
Ah well, I guess I'll be the hopeless exception then.... although, I only have one exam and it's not til next month. So one day off doesn't realllly make a difference. Riiiight?
Yh, I knew you'd agree :D tehe.

I went for a walk and took some photos. In a cunning attempt to make the weather look warmer than it is, I put my 80's sunnies infront of the lens as I was taking the photos to give them 'a warm summer glow'.




These would look great as polaroids. I really want a polaroid camera, I saw one for £200 not so long back, but I'm useless wih saving up... I fall in love with clothes too easily and spend all my money on them instead (that and fabric for my own designs, which I rarely get round to finishing... oh and millie's cookies!) - proof that money can buy love. Expensive love mind you ;)

I'm really looking forward to going to London this Friday! I'll explain more later, but the words; Fashion, Show, Grace, Kelly, 'Oh-Em-Geee', simply make me want to explode with excitement! Hope you're all having a lovely Monday! :) xox
