^ Avril Lavigne

vintage denim jacket

Rocketdog trainers

sunglasses from Singapore 

Inspired by this photo of Rumi, I decided to get my skateboard out. No I can't skateboard but I intend to learn...at some point in my life. Also how long does my hair look?! Bunches are defs the way forward. :)

Living on a Prayer

Did I tell you I tiedyed my bedsheets? The dreamy grey crinkles and swirls make me feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud and the glow-in-the-dark stars and planets on my ceiling only add to the effect. :)

Fluorescent Adolescent

^ Arctic Monkeys

self-made necklace

top from Ark

old leggings

L's parka (emergency borrowing due to the damn weather)

Doc Martens

bag from Malaysia

 Lots of love for the Arctic Monkeys at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony last night (and the Rizzle Kicks song played at the beginning of the teen section WOOP). I've been feeling very British and cool and moody recently...could this be... national pride?! Usually I have less than zilch. :)

Rainbow cake

Me and J went to the cutest cafe and had rainbow cake, which inspired us to make our own... they turned out pretty well (see above photo of be being a domestic goddess) and beautifully brightly coloured. However we put so much food colouring in that they tastes pretty, well, gross. Too many E numbers = headaches. But they were pretty so it's ok. :)

"Nasi lemak please"

"Nasi lemak" is coconut rice. Easily the most useful Malay phrase I learnt and basically the only thing I needed. :)

Rookie

 













As you may or may not know, I'm an avid reader of Rookie, the fabby site set up by Tavi. Over the past month Tavi and some of the other Rookie staff have been on a #rookieroadtrip around America hanging out with readers and since they couldn't/didn't come to England and I couldn't go to America, we had a mini meet up in Manchester (because I was away for the bigger London one, grr). We ate unhealthy snacks, made friendship bracelets and collages, read Nazi army fanfiction (don't even ask) and obsessed over Benedict Cumberbatch. Time very well spent. :)

 Sekonda watch

gifted glasses

A few of my tour looks. I was concentrating on having fun so both I and you will have to wait for pictures of all the beautiful garments I took away with me/bought there. The glasses in the last picture were given to me by the teachers as a prize for being the person that wore their sunglasses at the most innapropriate times. Vampires have to protect their eyes yano, even on planes. :)

Ps. I'm not really sure why I appear to be sporting a combover in the first picture...

Surrealistic Pillow

tshirt with chopped sleeves from Malaysia

 H&M skirt

clutch bag from Australia

carrier bag from Singapore

UO sunglasses

Underground creepers

Casually running into the White Rabbit during my favourite summer activity, skanking about the city. Also how much does this cloth bag remind you of the Jil Sander plastic bags? So much, but less fashion-elitist, it was free and it has an elephant bitchez. :)
