The reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamilliar territory

What I'm wearing today...
* Floral Skater Dress - Topshop, £35
* Skinny brown Belt - Primark, £2
* Brown lace trim vest - gift
* Grampa's Brown Satchel - Vintage
* Lace (in hair) - from habidashary

I went to the cinema with my family today to see 'Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time'. T'was pretty good. I keep meaning to get some revision done but there are so many distractions. Oh dear, well at least if I fail all my exams I can fulfil my lifelong dream of becoming a busker. Though my musical skills aren't really up to scratch... I guess if that fails I could always join the circus. But I don't have any special skills... hmm, maybe I could grow a beard??
Or maybe not.

I just wanted to say an extra little hello to my new followers! Feel free to drop me a comment and introduce your lovely selves :)

Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss

Through a stranger's eyes I'm everything but myself

I've got Paramore's "Turn it off" running through my head at the moment;
"I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending, it's getting harder to believe in anything than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts..."
Gotta love Paramore - I have their RIOT poster on my bedroom door. It's upside down... the poster, not the door. It fell off a while ago and my mum put it back up the wrong way. At first I couldn't be bothered to fix it, but then I decided I actually prefer it that way :')
Just thought I'd share that little fact with you.

Anywayz, I went for a rumble through my grandparent's wardrobe yesterday. It's the best place to find vintage things really, and guess what?? No price tags! Wehey!
I'm practically broke right now, but I'm a shopping addict and I've got a week of spending (money I don't have) up ahead.
Eeeeeeep, I wonder if there's such a thing as shopaholics anonymous? Apparently there's a hot line for people who are addicted to jaffa cakes, not sure if it's true or not, but I think that's pretty awesome if it is ;)

Here's what I wore / unearthed from the closet...



My gran let me keep the bag! Awww she's adorable. I keep showing my friends pictures of her, she's got that 'regally photogenic' thing going on, haha. Yeah, I love my gran.
You know who else I love? You guys! Thanks so much for following - your comments make my day :')
T.T.F.N you beautiful people!

Nothing in particular.

Well yesterday I took time off from my 'oh so busy' schedule of doing nothing, to actually do some revision.
Whoopdeedoo, my life is soo dull.
I'm now in the process of making a brooch. I went to the haberdashery this morning to pick up some lace to customise a black clutch bag too. If it turns out ok I'll post pictures at a later date.

Anywhoo, here's what I wore today... Inspiration from here. :)

* My darling cloche hat - Acessorize @ Monsoon £25
(I know it's expensive for a hat, but I fell helplessly in love with it and simply couldn't resist ;)
* Blazer - 2nd hand
* Skirt - thrifted
* Black lace tights - £8
* Shoes - £7 thrift

I wish I was brave enough to cut my hair like a 1920s flapper. I'm actually really sick of it at this length... it's not short, it's not long, it's just kinda 'there'. I also considered dying it red. I don't know how dark, maybe the same shade as a postbox? tehe.
Sorry about ranting, it's just soo frustrating!

Wow. I love vintage photographs. I found some old photos from my grandparents wedding that I thought I'd share with you...


Hope you're all having a nice week!

Abracadabra! Wow.

First off, song for the day: "Get busy Living or Get busy Dying" by Fall Out Boy.
Little more dramatic than the usual, but I liked the lyrics...
"Talking's just a waste of breath. And living's just a waste of death. And why put a new address on the same old lonliness."

I'd noticed that quite a few people were doing their own versions of 'Cassie's Therapy Video' . For any of you who don't know, Cassie's a character from the original cast of 'Skins' . I believe the chain began at 'The Little Blog of Happiness' << click for more deatils :)
Anyway I thought I'd give it a try myself... If you fancy it too then copy the words below that are in bold and make your own post :)
Here goes nothing, or perhaps, something...

I like boys with sweeping fringes. I like girls with fairy-like charm and floaty dresses.
I like wearing pearls, they make me feel fancy.

I like exploring.
I like taking photos.
I like finding beauty in things that others rarely notice.
I like reflections, just not my own.
I like snowdrops on spiders’ webs - laced around old black fences.
I like watching movies.
I like spending time on my own, but I don’t like being alone.
I like strangers and the strange things they say.
I like doing nothing for hours so it becomes something.
I like facing my fears.
I love it when it feels like you’re alive.
Today, I don’t want to waste another day being afraid. I wish to be brave. If I close my eyes tight enough, hold my breath long enough, wish, wish hard enough, then maybe, just maybe, I'll open my eyes again, and feel... different.

In some ways, I love everything. It’s less, it’s less of a thing to like, it’s less distinct, it’s less particular. I like things that I like, but I love everything. There’s more choice in like, cos even the worst things have things you love in them. I don’t know what you mean about things I hate.

I hate wearing my glasses.
I hate awkward conversations and talking on the phone.
I hate the taps in public toilets.
I hate lip gloss... it tastes strange.
I hate that feeling of vulnerability, when you know you’ve let them too close.
I hate salt and vinegar crisps but in a way I love salt and vinegar crisps because I can smell them before even opening the packet.
I hate fake tan.
I hate being hated, but it’s better than being loved for something you’re not.
I hate this, wow. . . Sorry.

You're also supposed to tag three other lovely people to do it too, so I'm gona tag....
Jazzabelle, Olivia and Shannon.
