Don't think I'll ever forget the voice of the tram repeating "Dam Square" every time we passed it (hence the weird post title hehe). The trams definitely played a part in my falling in love of the city, they seemed so much calmer than hectic London buses & tubes. Incidentally we witnessed a tram crash, which ended up becoming a mothers meeting for the policemen ;)

Stocked nearly nineteen items on eBay, it's clearout time! Go take a peek

I had two A Level exams today, hence the lack of posts. One went my way, the other, unfortunately, didn't. Le sigh.

Be casual: dipped hem dress

dipped hem dress ebay £7, vintage sleeveless denim jacket via lucy, primark plimsolls £2, topman cross necklace £3, isobel kho canvas bag


When I found this dipped hem/hi low/mullet/asymmetric dress on eBay, I actually paused and considered bidding. If this is you now, don't. JUST BUY. I love love love wearing this, it's something that is actually a pleasure to wear [hence the spinning and jumping]. I figured I could only wear it with heels and that a "casual" look would be unattainable - is it reality or vanity that causes bloggers add giant-ass heels to the most casual day outfits?
So anyway. Here's my advice. Grab a mixture of short and long layers, add a bit of denim and shove on whatever shoes you find comfiest.


Expect more on this dress.
And I found a cuter version at New Look - it has awesome triangle cut out detail at the back. 
Gd'night

My excuse for buying this despite being broke is that I needed it for a costume party to be a witch. Ha.

Dress to the point

white lace dress dorothy perkins via charity shop £3, primark pleather jacket £10, asos necklace £2, ebay black bag £3

• 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

So now we dance

topman triangle necklace £1, asos top £9, primark jeans £8, primark shoes £1

Looking evil, but in reality, I'd just forgotten my sunglasses. Got my results today and am very very very very happy, managed to scrape some pretty good grades. Looking forward to retaking seven modules wooooo bring on A level year! Hope you got the grades you wanted x

Off to Spain for two weeks. Hmm. Probably see you then. Why hello 14hour drive!

And get yo asses down to Topman for some seriously cheap and seriously nice sale necklaces

A garden left for ruin

leopard maxi skirt charity shop £3.50, h&m tank £8, primark necklace £3, primark pleather jacket £23 £10, car boot sale bag £1, new look cats eye sunglasses £5

!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.

Illusions come illusions go



uniqlo beige chinos £9.99, beyond retro £9, h! by henry holland boots £48, vintage ebay rucksack £14



Guess what, changed the header again. But this time it's a keeper, I didn't feel comfortable with the previous one because I didn't make it myself. And it was still emo.

+ Finally an outfit post! I've been experimenting with a 50mm prime lens which Lucy kindly lent me as I'm about to send off my usual lens to Nikon, in hope that they will restore it to its former glory. Although I love this 50mm, I think a 35mm would be best, I've had to do some serious backing away from people to take a shot (involving minor accidents), and I miss autofocus waaaaay too much. Still, I've learnt from this.

Soon comes the season of car booting! :) And, check out the eBay shop again - more items added tomorrow!

Was kind of breezy today. Hair was all over the place
++ I'm featured in Top19TeenBloggers which is megah-ubah-supah coohl. (Ummm. Sorry)

I've broken my baby

ebay coat £4, h! by henry holland boots £48, primark jeans £8, ebay rucksack £14, charity shop scarf £2, primark mittens £2

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)

Stop with me tonight

£1 car boot camel jersey shirt, £2 lace primark top, £15 topshop shorts, £10 stall bag, £20 new look boots,  £1.50 carboot hat

I really do try to give structure to this blog, but for some reason I have difficulty managing my priorities. I actually do have some posts up my sleeves, please believe me. In other news, Vampire Diaries. Mmm. Whatever X Factor. And went to a fun Masquerade party, again. Perhaps I should invest in a more interesting mask... Anyway, car boot sale tomorrow, wish me all the best.

Down by the rollercoaster

primark lace crop top (£2!), ebay acid wash denim skirt, mango sunglasses, claires peach flower and necklace, vintage satchel

So when I approached my usual blank white wall, there was a rocking horse instead, who goes by the name of Gyspy. Oh the joys of having three brothers! Decided to have some fun with the photos, makes a change from the usual moody stare. And.. That's right.. I'M BACK. And browned. Malaga was a well earned break from London, it was nice to walk around nearly naked and not get weird looks (kidding). I actually bought the sunglasses there, only 4euro. Anyone going anywhere exciting soon?

And.. Nikon D5000. Thoughts?

Yes, my nose is... more tanned than the rest of me.

Mesh Mesh Mesh

Yep, that's right. Return of the MESH. (Previously worn here). And of the Levi's.. Shhh.

ebay mesh shirt, vintage levi shorts and cardigan, primark tights

 So this was the first of many celebrations for end of exams, we indulged in strawberries, champagne and sugar. Since then it's been seriously hot, and I've mainly been wandering around in a state of near nakedness not suitable for the likes of here... Haven't we all? :)
I'm going to Spain soon with "ma girlz", which is why I'm rooting for Spain tomorrow - then the mood will be fantastic when I arrive on Tuesday, it's always nice to not be in a country in state of national depression.


NEARLY 100 FOLLOWERS? How insane is that? I'll be seeing y'all soon
The beautiful girl on my right is the hostess herself... Thank you. And, photo credit to Izzy.



Oh and you can't see here very well, but my new signature look is orange lipstick.
