staff party!

Wednesday was the staff party and the dress code was named 'smart/casual' which DOES NOT HELP anybody!! So we were all pondering over what to wear - and by all I mean the girls. In the end I had to make a wise executive decision... 

Top and Necklace - Topshop (sale)

Jeans - Zara

Bracelet and Wedges - New look

The wedges you see here I smartly decided to swap for sandals shortly after this photo was taken as they would not have matched the 'casual' side all that well and I thought as though the top dealt with the 'smart' side without much help. In fact... those shoes are still at my mates...

It was a great night btw!!

Topshop skull necklace

I am on this sale hype right now!! I've bought so much stuff this week in the sales and most of it is stuff that I've wanted for ages so I'm well happy with that! One of the things I've bought is this pastel coloured skull necklace from Topshop which I absolutely love and already have loads of outfits planned to wear it with.

woah hi der! (looks weird inside - but so windy k?)

Necklace - Topshop

Blouse - HQ Southend

Jeans - Zara

 crazy neck

Lace socks (over black socks) - New Look

Please ignore the now-manky creepers and focus on the SOCKS MAN. They were only £1 a pair in New Look so I got THREE - purple, mint green and this baby pink colour. WOAH MAN. 

In other news...
Remember when I wrote about my crappy pink CD player that started smoking...? Well my Dad threw it out when I wasn't home - along with The Vaccines album that was in it I might add!! (But don't worry, I quickly got that back!) Anyway... this is my replacement...



The funny thing is this beast actually has a good sound!! I fear I may get attatched...

sweaty times!

The sun is finally out which means boobs and bums come out too... not always the best thing for onlookers *cough*. I was one of the idiots who decided to fake tan and ended up with streaky arms and black feet - TANKS MOM.

what i wore today...

Necklace - New Look

Dress - H&M

Belt - New Look

Sandals - New Look

Shirt - H&M

omg my camera is killing me I'm going to have to buy a better one!

Skull studs - ...somewhere down Berwick street

This dress is such a good fit on me and is so cute too! I liked it so much I bought it in mint green n' all. Because they're plain theres room to accessorize and what not so no stress! And of course I don't wear a shirt anymore unless it's got some form of studded collar.



CRAZY CRAZY EASY TIGER.

Primark blazer

what I wore today...

I didn't think much of my outfit today - not my usual creative flair - although I had so many comments about my blazer I thought I should share it with the bloggin' gang...!

Picture of the utmost cringey-ness

Blazer - Primark

White daisy top - River Island

Belt - New Look

Jeans - Zara

Sandals - New Look

Sorry you can't see much of my daisy top - I'm new to all this showing off outfit stuff so was a bit quick to take the picture...

I think this blazer was such a good find considering it's from Primark! I can tell I'll be wearing it a lot in this Summer. Although!! The blue dye rubbed off on my daisy top which I am not happy about because it looks like I have massive sweat patches under my arms now! I love my daisy top n' all - I bought it last Summer and haven't got board of it yet. Hmph, that's Primark for ya... Oh well!

LOVE PEACE AND HAIR GREASE.

big time tidy up

So about a week ago I asked my mum if she would please buy me a CD rack to contain my musical loves and told her that I didn't mind what it looked like or whether it came from the charity shop or not (meaning I didn't care if it was cheap). The other day I came home from sixth form and my mum showed me to my room (odd) on which I was presented with THIS...

This monstrosity of a 70s inspired "vintage" rack from the charity shop now protrudes it self from my room. But the sickening thing is I'm actually starting to warm to it... at least until I get a replacement.
THANKS MOM.

Breaking news...

Today I managed to clear my wardrobe of all my winter things (even though I'll probs have to wack them out again with this rain...) as well as looooadddds of clothes that I don't even wear any more. This is what I collected...

Bulging biceps

Now my clothes have room to breathe and I can make way for loads of new ones yayayaayay! I plan to sort through the whole of my room but, most of the time I cba so... whenevs. This isn't the most exciting post I know but be patient I've got big plans biatch.

LOVELY.

haven't you heard...

...of Jake Bugg?!

I first heard his debut single 'Trouble Town' on XFM a few months ago and immediately fell in love with his voice! He's an 18 year old from Nottingham who sings with a country "twang" as it were who's lyrics are cleverly written - evident in my favourite songs of his, "Lightning Bolt" and "Trouble Town". There was a feature about him in the latest issue of CLASH magazine and I've read about him in other magazines too... although I can't remember what ones those were... not much help there.

Google pic - don't h8 or discriminate

You can download his single "Saffron" here for free although after I'd done it it wouldn't let me put it on to iTunes - maybe that's just me?

Let me know if you like his music - or even better if you've heard him live. I can't wait for his album which is due out later this year!

Plus... he's hot.
Nice one.

how to make yourself cool...

...and make all the boys drool. (may be unachievable)

The shirt pictured below I bought from the River Island sale months ago for £10. It was £25 but there is no way I would have paid that for a shirt without arms. I mean WTF BRO?!

I was glad that I found this as before I was planning on buying an old man's shirt from the charity shop and chopping the arms off anyway but every time I went in I could never find a nice checkered one. Problem solved. I haven't worn this shirt since I bought it for the simple reason that I knew I must customise it before I ever wore it... too plain my friend too plain.

I still had some leatherette (fake leather) left over from my AS Textiles project and so used that to cover the collar and front pocket. This was actually surprisingly easy and rather relaxing to do compared to the cropped jumper I did a few weeks ago because I actually measured things this time, who'd a thought?!!

 Awesome angles man

The tchallenge (= challenge) came with piercing the studs through because the leatherette and shirt fabric together was TOUGH SHIT MAN - but I got through it!!

Check out that neck extension

This didn't take me as long either, about two plays of The Vaccines album and a couple of tracks of my playlist. Plus, IT LOOKS SUPA KL... if I do say so myself. Let me know what you think and please try something like this yourself, it makes you feel good inside.

THANKS AND ENGINE TANKS.
