I found a book on how to be invisible

Feathers

Incredibly incredibly inspired by this picture of Rumi, so tried it out for myself. I can't remember why I did green instead of yellow, but I'm sure I had a reason.. Anyway, I like it. Gonna take feathers to Russia so my history teacher and form tutor (as well as half of the year above) can think I'm a complete freak, yay.




If you really care, wearing a random black leotard, mom's old fleece and I found the feathers in one of my boxes full of random crafty stuff - probably got them from a stationery shop. And excuse my messy (but somehow still ringlet-y..) hair. :)

This was a few days ago on the way to L's house with A and it was getting dark, we were walking and I'm not the best with directions even though I've lived here for over ten years. So A was stressing out and worried we were gonna be late so it took some effort to convince her to take these. But she did eventually unlike L who feels 'stupid' and that it's 'embarassing'. No it's not. And I'm used to getting wierd looks so now it's just fun.

Wearing a H&M jersey dress, Topshop socks, New Look heels, Fabindia earrings and Primark sleeveless aviator jacket. I practically never shop in Primark (although I seem to wear my stuff from there a lot. Hmm..) but as soon as I saw this I knew I had to have it. The only question whether I should get in in grey or black. And the best part is - I realised later that the day before I had been subconsiously lusting over practically the exact same jacket in Topshop.. which is about £160 more! I was very happy. And it's very warm.



Time to run off to another netball match now. Two wins so far! :)

Nom time, it's winter

What is it about winter that makes me want to nom on velvet and sparkles? And everybody else too by the looks of it. Although I think (and hope) velvet won't be as big this year as it was last year. Why? Because less popularity = more for me! And I'm trying to convince my mother to help me make some velvet shorts and legwarmers like 5 inch and up but minus the cutting stage. (Most sadly my mother doesn't trust me with large amounts of material.)

Alexander Wang velvet legwarmers.


Sandra from 5 inch and up's DIY'ed version.

Plus I am preparing for my trip to Russiaaaaa! Although physically packing for it is making me upset because I only have five days and that means I can only really realistically take one coat and one or two jumpers, I am having muchos fun imagining outfits.

Also, hopefully tonight my mom and I will start work on a long camel silk skirt that has been in my head forever. I want to take it to Russia so we must finish it by Thursday!!

Plus, aren't these shoes just the nommiest things you've ever seen? I've liked them for a while but this is the best picture I've found. It's from Sea of Shoes. :)

Inspiration - Cirque du freak

Above photos not mine, from various websites.

I've been in a bit of a wierd mood lately. Not uninspired - au contraire, I have been extremely inspired - but more.. inside my own head. So that translates into less actual photo taking and more imagining and dreaming.








Over the years my mother and I have amassed quite a collection of.. unusual clothing. These bright gold metallic leggings are my mom's and she also has them in silver (which I was looking for but couldn't find so wore these instead). But my skintight white lycra catsuit (originally a dance costume, don't ask) beats it hands down. Also wearing my dad's sweater, glitter gold hat I left a party a few years ago with and L's really old and beat up Converse which I looooove so I stole from her locker. Don't worry, she's aware of this and not too bothered. And I wrote my favourite quote on my arm which is becoming a Friday morning French lesson ritual; 'Those who cherish [a beautiful vision,] a lofty ideal in their hearts will one day realise it'. :)

Ps. And the painting is one I did about 5 years ago. Now I feel old. And it's a camel just in case you can't tell.

Pps. Thank you so much to my three new followers! You've made (what's left of) my day!
