Goth child

inside-out tshirt
American Apparel skirt (worn as dress)
Underground creepers
Urban Outfitters sunglasses
mother's bag
Primark bracelets

Looking like the goth child of the sun. I was wearing something else but the heat and excitement of tie dying took their toll. That's right, tie dye, an activity I never did as a child. Waiting eagerly for my efforts to dry. :)

Peplum

top from Sweden
H&M leather pants (ripped)
Doc Martens
mother's satchel
Primark bracelets

Always wanted a peplum but never found a nice one, until I randomly stumbled across this cute flowery one in some shop in Sweden. It satisfies my occasional omg-its-summer-gotta-wear-florals-wait-too-girly-akk-i-need-black and also goes wonderfully with black disco pants but sadly they're C's, not mine, so leather had to suffice. :)

How adorable is my tiger cushion? Can't believe I haven't thought of posting it before, awww. Also new favourite hairstyle which keeps my hair out of my face and includes a quiff. Score. :)

A whimsical look kept young and fun by the mini backpack. Definitely a Magic Bag, it's tiny but holds SO much! Perfect size for my camera Lije so I expect I shall be taking it everywhere. :)

H&M top
self-made necklace
mother's kimono
H&M leather pants
Topshop boots

Sadly my beloved leather pants have ripped at the knees but hey, leather is possibly the best material to rip for a badass look. Found this lovely kimono thing ages ago but I've been trying to find something cool to pair it with so it doesn't look reminiscent of my old school art overall which I swear was the exact same blue. :)

Augustus by moi

Meet Augustus who I've been meaning to blog for tiiiiime. The final piece of my art project on birds, Augustus now has permenent residence in my bedroom. I chopped the sleeves off and originally painted the bird on this jacket during said art project, but never really wore it that much. Recently in a fit of boredom I added black sleeves (the legs of jeans that I chopped off to make shorts), painted some triangles (hipstaaaa) and all-seeing eyes inspired by Desperately Seeking Susan and studded some studs. So now my homemade favourite jacket. :)

Here are a few pictures from Sweden. We went to visit L who now lives in Gothenburg so most of the pictures consisted of teenagers pulling beeeeeeeautiful poses at the camera. Chilling on L's balcony, skanking by the river, a view of Gbg and I have no idea about the butterflies... :)

My teenage indie alien princess look. A girl working in Urban Outfitters said I looked cool hehe. And everyone loves finding random old (aka vintage dahling) stamp collector tshirts in their parents drawers, right? :)

Photos of me taken by I for her art project. Thirty second timer, me posing and her running around me madly waving a torch...pretty cool effect right. :)

I's converse
Topshop skirt
vintage denim jacket (I'm sitting on it)
self-made top
self-made necklace

Inspired by this top from Topshop, I made my own tiedye shoulderless top (ok so it's not tied, just dyed). It was an experiment that turned out really well and surprisingly...blue. Looks like and impressionistic waterolour painting, cool. I still like the orange of the Topshop one so I need to have a huge dyeing session soon. Tie-dye bedsheets anyone? I'm enjoying haing my mojo back. :D

(Most of) the jewellery I have with me on my 6 day trip to Sweden... is 9 pairs of earrings a slight overkill? Never. :)

These are a few of my favourite things

ear cuff from Affleck's
Topshop Shiva earrings
nail stickers (I'm good but not that good)
bottle cap ring of my favourite photo ever made by I
very old denim jacket abused by myself
I lol intensely that Topshop is selling jewellery with religious figures on in a (I think) non-ironic way. The Hindu god earrings are adorable though, so I just had to get them to wear in a vaguely semi-ironic way, which I think is made more credible by the fact that I'm actually Indian. These ones are Shiva and I'm debating having Jesus join my collection... Also, can't wait to post my re-pimped out jacket which I cannot stop wearing. :)

Summery weather means time to break out the florals...not that I actually have many florals. So paisley attack instead it is. :)
