details


bra/top -h&m

neon pink under sheer/fishtail

I've been thinking about recently about fashion and style the difference between the two and how I can tell. I think its important to have your own sense of self when it comes to fashion, otherwise the high street will eat you up with the must haves; you'll become a yuppie of the blogging world. So when I got out shopping I have a clear goal in my mind. I know my style; I know what works what doesn't, what I want to look like. Best sellers don't matter to me.

At that topic I'm currently compling my s/s wardrobe, I'll give you a clue. There shall be no 70's/ditsy/nautical print of any vibe. We'll move on from there.

faceless



top 25p jumble sale/ coat - thrift/ clutch - primark

faceless/nameless
Actually bought this blouse 3 months ago at a jumble sale for 25p; I told you I was classy. Though I love the cut out detail on the neck line- it also have billowy bell sleeves; I own a lot of shirts so rather then repeatedly buying the same thing it's important for something to be different, no ?

I find a prefer masculine/ clean/ styling; I'm no Calvin Klein; but I think that reflects my personality. Something a little harder. Its important to have your own style doesn't mean you can't follow trends but at when point your alter ego with have to rest... If not I find people end up fashion victims. Its not about carbon copies. I mean there is no I would wear a peter pan collar. Honestly I will look like I'm playing dress up; it doesn't mean I don't like them it's mean they don't suit and me, and that is probably because they are not my style.

inspire me; how was your weekend?
I bought some new stuff


dress - topshop/ cluthes - primark/ notebook - tk maxx/ purse - primark


The dress is from topshop is real silk and cost me £15 down from £50; probably because no one was buying it! It got such a loose fluid shape that somehow look perfect tailored it hangs in all the place. I wore it out on Saturday night; at first I though belt. Then I thought FUCK DA WAISTBELTS. I admit it does look like a hard colour to wear but its the most insane insane neon pink; perfect.

lights on

kimono jacket - matalan/ joy division tee - ebay/ jeans topshop/ lace up wedges - h&m/ gold cuff - miss selfridge

Not a particular well coordinated outfit but I wore it for one my friends birthday drinks, the kimono is new and bought in the sales. I kinda love it; it wasn't something I wanted prior but I just spotted and at £8 was a major bargain.


RESOLUTIONS

For the majority of just I think resolution will be hot on our minds and I've been thinking about my for a couple of days;

- READ. READ WELL AND FAR. this year I want to read at least 30 books, which on average should take me 1 1/2 weeks each. and that something I shall hopefully be documenting on my blog. Books can be so entertain, frightening, thought provoking and I haven't had that in while. But I do look forward to eat.

- TAKE BETTER CARE. of my self over. IT may be digusting but this starts with showering more. I think I have a slight phobia of getting we. I think generally since I've had more time on my hands this has happened; but there is even more pampering to come.

- TRY HARDER. at blogging of course. I had a little downtime during christmas because I work(curse) in retail. and Presently I still do but that doesn't mean this blog shall suffer. At least I can promise you one thing i will never borrow content. this isn't tumblr. this is blogger. I will comment more. DEAR 34 FOLLOWERS I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!

- LEARN. to drive; I'll be honest I only remembered this one yesterday whilst my friend was driving me about. This should really do; it presents at challenge to me and gives me something to work towards; I don't want this year to just slip away from me. Just because I'm not going travelling.

- VISIT my friends! the real ones. I already have a trip planned to Manchester for feb. I still need to go to cornwall; brighton and brum. which i will!

- LOSE. weight and hate. I'm not particularly on the larger side I just want to be a tidier; you cant fault me for that. I should use that gym membership ma mere is paying for. starting next week... weight is such a sensitive issue no ? I don't want to be angry or hate; it waste so much energy which probably isn't even felt by the other side.


So here I am wish me luck.

all change please






fur coat - matalan/ silk vest - next/ jeans - topshop/ hat - river island

Bar the hat everything is new and cheap. The jeans only cost £15, silk £8 and coat £20. Somtimes being cheap is good, exhilirating even.

I barely ever wear jewellery mainly because i find it such a labourious task putting on and then taking it off again. especially metal - its so cold! lazy?

I've noticed alot of people on the blogosphere dont wear jeans, i say they dont like the way they look in them. yes, they may arse look big... but I'm firming a jean, trousuers and shorts girl. Why I dont know. I just find that there is something so much cleaner about them. Skirts and dress make me feel like a little girl. Dont get me wrong there are some beautiful creations around but I dont feel like being 9 again. In fact im unsure as to whether bar for a post where ive been going out I've even worn as a dress..

This is what happens when I dont use make up brushes..

louder/louder




jumper - tesco/ caro pants - next/ ring - new look


still having the most stressy time at work and it just makes me feel like there is something about me which isn't appealing. something inherent to my character or persona or whatever which means people don't want to get to know me. you cant win them all but sometimes its so frustrating there is an impossible algorithm of cliques; and my favourite person is leaving tomorrow. In conclusion; I hate next.

I'm not always this morbid, I promise.

In other new cargo pants from next and I've finally washed my hair..
I did go shopping yesterday with a friend back from uni; bought stuff wish im sure to show you in due course and now on to the next one

dont you forget about me




cardigan - tk maxx/ t shirt - topshop/ necklace - accesorize/ trousers - lovelabel:ebay

badly applied make up, crap lighting and washed out face; dont say I dont treat you

has anyone watched that MTV show if you really need knew ? I watched it today and I will admit I cried, Often there is much hurt and pain in people's lives and its a struggle or them to express and deal with. Sometimes the ones around you want to ignore this, or are too wrapped up in there own lives. Its painful to know that some people feel so trapped, they may not have a forum to express themselves, but at look morrisey wrote

If so easy to laugh
its so easier to hate
it takes strength to gentle and kind
over, over, over and over

People can be so horrible and so cruel, but there really isnt need
