Dress to the point

• So I'm not a little black dress kind of girl... I like dresses like this
• How incredibly dodgy is this lighting? As much as I would like to fix it when taking photos, I've noticed the autofocus on my camera is rubbish on any setting which isn't "automatic". And I missed the warranty for my broken lens gahhh.
• Anyway, everything is good, just sitting and waiting for term to be over and for Christmas to hit me. Seriously. WHERE IS IT? C'est une bonne question.

Fact Rant:

• I just booked my summer holiday (AYIA NAPA 2K12*).
• Listening to GString by SomethingALaMode
• Got offers from three unis :)
• Bought a glittery blackberry case like this muhahahaha
• Buy from my shop

See y'all

**Awkz that I intially posted this with the draft title "dress". Self explanatory and straight to the point, essentially blunt, which is what I'm famous for in the real world. Ohhh the irony

A garden left for ruin

!Holaa senoritaz¡ I'm in the Mexican mood, watching 90210 and having just had a fiesta for my birthday on Thursday, the photos of which are coming soon. My birthday's my latest excuse for revision unfortunately, I'm finding it properly impossible. And I keep talking like I'm from Essex. It's ream.

Hasta Luego!

P.S. This is my first venture into maxi-length ever. I love it so much. Recommend it. Go.

Into the garden, under the ivy

I went to an evil themed party recently, I went as a vampire (original, I know) and I've got a Moulin Rouge themed party next - my outfit will be pretty much the same but with more things feathery, glittery and red. And minus the tears of blood from my eyes.

Under the leaves,
Away from the party,
Right to the rose,
Right to the white rose
For me.

Not sure I like this post, its a bit too messy for my liking...
I've eventually got round to showing you this dress I made. It's a bit of a basic outfit, floral dress and a leather jacket (or should I say "pleather"?).
Really basic sewing: rectangle of Laura Ashley fabric, hemmed and then sewn to form a tube. Which is why it doesn't fit great, but there wasn't much fabric to work with. It was just leftover curtain material in my house.

One life here with me and it's magic

I've been so busy with work recently that the blog has become stagnant :( I've been trying to find work experience placements as well as revising for my maths GCSE which is on Tuesday... Wish me luck!

I've been really inspired by Ladyhawke (aka Pip Brown) recently. Her refusal to wear womens clothes paired with a bowler hat and her new song Magic (post title). Here are a few of my favourite photos of her. And hence have worn a baggy leather jacket and jumper for this next outfit. Which, incidentally, are both meant for boys.

P.S. Sorry I look so moody and evil in this photo, I'm not sure what happened here...

P.P.S. I have scheduled posts so I can regulate posts on the blog! Why didn't I think of this before??

P.P.P.S. But of course I will still get back to all your lovely comments!

X's, on the back of your hand

These tights are an example of what happens when you get a long essay set in a double English lesson. My teacher didn't approve of my use of time and put me in detention. Ah well. Just outta interest, do you prefer it when I post multiple photos or one photo collage?



Hype?

So far its been an eventful summer with several glorious daytrips; we went to Brighton yesterday and ate jelly :) I'm going camping in a field soon (no reason) so there shall no doubt be some interesting photos from there...
