This was a trip to Brick Lane, the results of which are coming soon. My friend Phoebe really enjoys sabotaging my photos.

Something I did over Christmas, when mucking about with my camera, inspired by color me katie. (Tutorial here). And, speaking of cameras, I think I've broken my baby! My poor Nikon was involved in a fall from a bed, and now the focus is just not right. I'm seriously dreading the Nikon repair costs, because I reckon they'll reject the warranty.

Which leads me to my next topic, I'M GOING TO KOS! With all my gals, finally booked flights, but we don't have any accomodation yet, hopefully this hotel, anyone ever been to Kos?

Of course, with the New Year and holiday booking seasons comes the dreaded job hunt. I'm about to go hand out my CV to absoloutley everywhere, mainly in retail, so fingers crossed. AND something I found out, if you're under 18, you get paid around £1 less per hour at the same job and same hours as an over 18! I think this is outrageous, and I'm sure all of the under 16's agree. Aghhhhhh.



Hey new followers :) Stay tuned for word of a blog shop (oooooh)

Like punching in a dream

You'll agree I'm looking panicked. Probably because my hand has turned into a claw? Anyway, I hope that you celebrated the arrival of 2011 (better known as... 2k11) in a fanstastically whimsical way, whether you were simply chilling or partying. I did indeed crack out the leather trousers, but thinking about it, it would have made more sense to wear them before Christmas and not a squillion calories later. But I don't regret stuffing my face in any way at all. I had fun. A week later I was still feasting decadently, with cheesecake and yule log for breakfast. Hmmm. Can't see any logic whatsoever in that... And I part with a gift, the gift of music. If this doesn't work, have a link.

Won't you agree that this song is excellent, and that I hit jackpot in the Topshop sales with this dress? Apparently it even has angora in it (ooooooooh).
+ BLIMEY. First post ever with straightened hair! A few days old, it does get straighter!

Christmas Eve Eve

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Finished the winter term with an excellent party, accompanied by this beautiful burgundy (or maroon) velvet dress. A dress for Christmas parties, then I'm cracking out the leather trousers for NYE. I'm veeery excited.... Anyway, this is a night saver - it hit me that I didn't like the purple skater dress I'd just bought a week before, a classic Georgia moment of delayed indecision. Thankfully, I always keep my recipts for occasions as such. And I saved two pounds :) Oh and Luce, thanks for the pic above. 

 velvet new look dress £5, mums barbour, vintage duffle bag, matalan heels £14, leopard primark print tights £2, (new) vintage earrings 50p

 

 

Who's in agreement that the Barbour is the ultimate winter party coat? Yeah it looks trampy, but... FIVE POCKETS. That may not sound like a lot, but one goes all the way around. Waterproof and you can put in a fleecey lining. Oh, I'm not getting paid by Barbour to write this. They're just incredibly convenient.

Have a very Merry Christmas :)

I don't need a cloak to become invisible.

I did say at the begininng of this season that I wouldn't buy into the aviator trend, but... A real sheepskin coat for under a fiver? How could I say no? One of the hardest parts of car booting is disguising your shock at prices. I felt like I was robbing the guy...

 
First pictures from the Nikon D5000. The blanket of snow (as opposed to the standard thin grey slush) arrived in time for the camera :) Hope you've had a festive week, I'm still waiting for the fresh smell of pine needles... Got your tree yet?
