she killed it with kisses & from it she fled

hello lovelys :) have you seen alexa chung on this month's vogue? amazing! i loved her article, and the pictures were just stunning.
i've also had an amazing weekend so far. yesterday, a bunch of us went for chinese & sainsburys, and then back to mine. i wore this:
grey oversize t-shirt; H&M; £4.99.
belt; primark; £1.
cardigan; topshop; my mam's.
vintage pearls & urban outfitters cuckoo clock necklace.

and yes, this is the cereal aisle in sainsburys. cos we are that cool.

and then somehow, we had a wierd photoshoot.

btw, the black lace dress my friend aya is wearing (left) and the dress i'm wearing (also worn by lindsey lohan haha!) are on sale on ebay! they are ending tomorrow, so request my twitter if you want the link...

hahaha, my friends are awesome.

and your cigarette stained lies

here is an outfit i wore the other day:
navy cable knit jumper: charity shop: £4.
real soft leather quilted chain bag; urban outfitters; £52 (bought about a year ago, but amazing quality!) kind of a boring outfit, but theres not much to wear outside when its freezing. plus, the jumper is too comfy to deny wearing something else.
some things which are are on my urban outfitters wishlist currently:
ahh, too beautiful! oh, and i'm going to keep posting things on ebay for the next two weeks or so, so keep coming back! i really do appreciate all the people interested! AND THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE 400 FOLLOWERS! AHH! i owe every single one of you a cupcake as a thank you. seriously.

alexa alexa alexa chung

i actually love her.
i want her wardrobe so bad!

Tuesday, 5 January 2010

say your sorry, that face of an angel

today i was more or less snowed in, so i got a day off school! i spent my morning watching 90210, which was amazing, i goddamn love that show! and it also gave me a chance to blog :) this is my new favourite cardigan. it's actually the nicest wine colour, i wear it everywhere. it's from topshop premium, but i snagged it off ebay for £4.

some of my necklaces, from the left:

urban outfitters £6, charity shop 50p, charity shop £2, urban outfitters, carbootsale £2, ebay £2. and then of course i have pearls & my urban outfitter ones i got for christmas :)

and this is my new blazer! it's navy wool, and from a charity shop for £1.75. no idea why it was so ridulously cheap, they must have crappy people to decide prices.

now i'm away to take pictures of the snow :)

oh and ps. i got formspring:

i'm now off to open some parcels which just came in the post :)

Sunday, 13 December 2009

lights will guide you home, & ignite your bones

i've a pretty busy weekend so far. yesterday i wore this (my new topshop coat yay!):
and my new vintage lace up boots! from ebay, £4.friday, it was ellies birthday (http://cest-lamour.blogspot.com/ )(look at her blog, it's so lovely), and so on saturday we went up to london to ice skate. it was by the tower of london, and it was so nice! there were really sweet couples skating around, and there was a sunset at the end. after, we walked around to leister sqaure and there was a funfair there which was pretty mental. then, we just got the train back and had a sleepover. today i went to a vintage fair in chelsea. it was so beautiful there, with lots of trinkets & tea dresses, but sadly a lot of it was overpriced (especially as most of it i see in charity shops!) but i got a leather topshop purse (which i have no idea why it was the vintage fair) and a vintage london postage where someone had written french.
this is the purse, but its in a grey/light blue kinda colour instead: which was £6 :D (haggled down from £15 hahaha).
and i also uploaded a new look on lookbook: http://lookbook.nu/look/354137-hello-london
hope everyone else had a nice weekend, its so close to christmas now!

busy bee

hello! i'm actually crazy busy at the moment, hence the lack of decent posts. essays, christmas, ice skating, ebaying, dinner outings, shopping, twittering, schooling.. basically anything with 'ing' added to the end. i promise there will be a good post soon with pictures, and little wonderings.. and i think i'm going to london soon anyway (i'm seriously having withdrawel symptons, i want to wear my new boots somewhere other than a high street) so that will be good good good. i miss blogging. it makes me sad when i dont have any comments to read & make my day. see you soon lovelys.

Sunday, 6 December 2009

last christmas, i gave you my heart

on saturday i went to pick out a christmas tree :) we went to a massive family owned christmas tree farm, with is behind their mansion in a little country lane. it was amazing there, it's the kinda place i want to live when i'm older.

we got a massive one for our living room and a little one for our dining room. and the on saturady evening, me and sammie decorated it with multi-coloured lights and different random baubles. it looks so beautiful now, i love christmas.

ah. hope everyone had fun this weekend :)

Wednesday, 2 December 2009

my bones ache & my heart breaks

there's so many lucky pennies lying on the floor

a set i made on polyvore.com.

i want all of it. especially the coat/shoes. and even more especially as alexa chung has the coat! which just added about 150% more coolness to it now. and i love the tights, i really want some polka dot ones or heart ones! and the bag is actually epic and dont even get me started on the shoes.
sigh.
i've got a work review day tomorrow, so i'm going charity shopping and then having lunch with my mam. hope everyone has a good week!

Saturday, 21 November 2009

hello diy

AW09 has been filled with lace bodycon dresses, and i think they are gorgeous but some of them can be a bit pricey. i was looking on ebay and came across this navy knee-length lace/frills gown. it was 99p so i firgured i might as well see what comes.forgive my sick face, but cmon. the dress is weird. so i cut off the frills and voila! one of the navy lace bodycon dresses, vintage style! i love it. its the perfect size/length and was only 99p when some are £70!i think i'm going to diy more often!

heartbreak

last night i saw new moon.
there are no words. honestly, it was that good. i cryed, i laughed, i even screamed with everyone else when edward came on (yeah, i'm one of those crazy obessive fans). i won't spoil anything.. but, the last two words of the whole movie. i thought i was going to die of heart break. it's so depressing when you love something which isnt real. edward cullen forever.

http://lookbook.nu/look/307405

breton striped top; ebay; £2.

Thursday, 12 November 2009

hopefully

today i was ill. well, i ate crossiants, read elle, put a face mask on and lusted over these topshop beautys:

i did feel awful though, and now i'm just sitting in the dark with only the laptop light & the heart light keeping me company.



i'm worried about several things:
- science gsce exams next week.
- money.
- my teeth, and the fact that i havent worn my retainer in two weeks.
- running out of time.
- i havent had the energy to really blog or do a outfit post.
- my health.


all i seem to do is worry.

hopefully things will get better soon.

vogue + dairymilk

hi my lovelys :)
it seems like everyday i pick up my worn copies of either twilight, new moon, eclipse or breaking dawn and settle down onto my bed and read. neeky or not, it wipes away the hours like you wouldnt believe. today, i swapped new moon for vogue and was overwhelmed by the black and white photo of ed westwick (he is beautiful, gossip girl fans- you must agree! below.).

breathtaking.

and then heres me, pausing for a little photo while randomly being underneath my heart light. because that makes sense.

and my delayed giveaway prize!

and i have a winner ladies and gentlemen..

well, mostly ladies.

it is sophie lobban of lalalobban!

http://lalalalobban.blogspot.com/

but thank you sooooooooooooo much for all your comments and questions and new followers because of it. i appreicate every single one of them, i really do. i chose sophie because she is always so lovely on her comments and she even wrote a blog about this giveaway! shes so kind and i really think she deserves this necklace. so sophie, would you be able to send me your home address to my email address (the box on the right). thank you!

and i have answered all your questions, but its a crrrrrazy long post so i might put it somewhere else and then post a link. but that is all to be figured out..

but for tonight, i'm off to tweet and eat dairy milk.

Sunday, 8 November 2009

EBAY!

MY EBAY ITEMS ARE UP!
includes: topshop sequin dresses (this season, some bnwt), cath kidston, vintage floral bags, motel dresses, breton vintage striped tops, topshop dresses & tops, vintage blazers and sooo much more.

please take a look!
oh, and i've finally (two months later) decided a giveaway winner!

lovely jubbly

good news! i found a camera!
you see, my dad bought about 5 of the cameras (of which one was mine) because they were on offer. and throughout the years, he lost one, my brother lost and broke one, and i broke one. but quick math can tell you that there should be one left. well, i found it! and its the exactly same one as before! so i'm so so so relived.

so right now i'm off to take pictures of lovely things & new clothes.

happy sunday!

oh and PS.

the beautiful lauren is having a giveaway on her lovely blog :)

untouchable, burning brighter than the sun

hi everyone again :)
i was just looking through polyvore (what else do i do on a friday night alone) and i saw this topshop lace playsuit. i automatically started making a set with it, and i 100% head over heels fell in love with it. i mean REALLY IN LOVE with it. how nice is it?! topshop.. lace.. playsuit.. ahh need i say anymore? £55, however is not in my bugdet.

lace

so i looked for it on ebay..

and this came up:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LADIES-SIZE-14-BLACK-LACE-BODY-LEOTARD_W0QQitemZ290366704074QQcmdZViewItemQQptZWomen_s_Clothing?hash=item439b3449ca

A PICTURE OF ME ON SOME RANDOMERS EBAY ITEM.

which is kinda creepy.

but i never really knew how much my blog must come up on google. the other day i just typed 'topshop sequin' into google, and every couple of pages was a picture from my blog. its a bit worrying because i dont exactly want a lot of old men looking at my pictures or anything, and i dont want anyone finding any personal details about me. dont get me wrong, i feel sometimes kinda famous. but i'm not going to post links to my facebook or anything anymore, or write about towns where i live. haha, i still really want the lace dress above though.

lullaby

i feel like i havent blogged in ages, and to tell the truth i've been really discourged without a camera. i'm currently listening to the rain & bellas lullaby. it's a beautiful and depressing combination.
will things ever go right?

Monday, 2 November 2009

i miss you dearly

i have killed my camera.
my beloved little digital camera, which took nearly all the pictures you see on this blog.
and my dad wont get it repaired.
its actually so depressing.
i miss you dearly

a polyvore set which i want, now added is a little digital camera.

my feet got so sore i had to change them into brogues :)

fridays

i love fridays.
park. sainsburys, sammies.
nearly cried at dinner i was laughing so hard, wondered when ellie went missing at some point, watched the fireworks at the bus stop, failed at getting past gabby guarding the cheese, screamed 'i'm melting' several times, made an actually amazing pasta bake, watched sammie push tom into a pond and untied lucys shoes so many times she got violent.
yeah, it was a pretty good night.

Thursday, 22 October 2009

surely they must, becasue they sell this beauitful bag. which i cannot afford.
in other news, i went charity shop shopping today with sammie :)
i got a flannel shirt, black and white striped nautical tee, a floral locket, some 99p film for my camera and a vintage green oversized austraila jumper. i really really want to do some outfit posts but my computer has got a virus and wont turn on. hence why i am on my dads work laptop. so posts will be limited from now on till .. haha i have no idea. good news is, on thrusday i am going thorpe park! woo haha. if you dont know what it is google it :) its fright night so it should be amazing. happy monday everyone.

london

saturday; london.
running down oxford street, vintage shops in carnaby street, taking pictures of the floral house on my slr, being massive knitted hat buddies with lucy, sitting on cigarettes watching people tripping over, looking at the makeup in selfridges and watching london bridge lighted up with the sunset on the way home.
see? haha knitted hats.

you've got the love to see me through

today me & my mum went to a car boot sale in hayes..

i got TWO POLAROID CAMERAS FOR £2.50! AND A CAMEO NECKLACE FOR £1!

i am so happy happy happy with them! now i have three polaroid cameras, and they are all different and beautiful in their own way. yay! and i LOVE cameo brooches, necklaces, earrings. so nice! so i was excited when i got this little floral one. ahh, the first polaroid camera is actually a digital one which runs on battery.. not sure how it works so far. the next camera is a joycam polaroid camera and soooo funky! i love it so much. the only thing is, you need film 500 which is reaaaaally hard to find/buy these days. i'm watching some on ebay but i'm not sure i will win.

hahaha i love thems soo much! and these two cameras and the necklace only came too £3.50! bargain!
