Jardin

 





Some quick shots of a "garden"-themed collar that I made the other day after planning it for weeks (note: the gold bees come from some Asos earrings that I temporarily dismembered since I can't find nice metal insect beads anywhere). It actually turned out more pastelly and cute that I thought; I had invisioned it with beaded/jewelled creepy-crawlies but that plan had to be put on hold when I discovered I didn't have any seed beads. So expect a more exotic collar in the future, but for now, let's be sweet and rosy. :)

Comme des...

 

tshirt from Ebay

skirt from Singapore

A bright red skirt and a sarcastic slogan to lift my mood on a dreary, rainy, "revision" day. This is my favourite tshirt at the moment because I neither like nor understand the hype around Comme des Garcons (even thought my best friend says Comme des Fuckdown is actually an A$AP Rocky thing, as if I know who that is) and loose slogan tees are always a good thing. :)

I want candy

diamante chandelier earrings from Rusholme

orange and black horn earrings (minus large jewels) from Asos 

mother's sweater

orange flower and leaf earrings made by me

gold sun earrings from Topshop

silver and green earrings and matching necklace from Rusholme

I'm wearing orange lipstick, Topshop nail varnish,

 H&M necklace and father's top

green and transparent triangle earrings made by me

peach crop top (actually a sari blouse) from India

I spent the other day tweaking my jewellery collection and realised that dark green/khaki with orange/bright peach is my favourite colour combination at the moment, espcially when with metallics. It's also the colours I'll be wearing to prom in just over a month (hint hint). So spring-like but with just enough darkness to not be twee. :)

Throwing Shapes

 

 

jumpsuit from Next

vintage jacket

fur collar from old mini-cape

Doc Martens

Unsually simple today. Sometimes you just want to go out in what is practically a baby sleepsuit, heavy boots and a fur trimmed jacket (even if it is May). :)

Gatsby (the Great)

 

vintage jacket

sunflower top from Van Gogh museum

American Apparel disco pants

Urban Outfitters shoes

H&M bag

self-made earrings  

Because I'm a complete idiot, I managed to break my beautiful lens. I should get it back within two weeks but the sadness and guilt is not exactly motivating me to blog... Anyway, today I'm going to see The Great Gatsby, which I have been looking forward to for months since Baz Luhrmann is the best director ever. My thought process was "the costumes are going to be so fabulous I'll feel underdressed, so better wear something glitzy". :)

Ps. I don't know why this didn't post yesterday like it was supposed to, sorry.

50s

mother's shirt, cardigan and necklace

 gifted earrings

vintage brooch

lace parasol from Gozo

Topshop sunglasses (on I)

Photos of me taken by friends

So Tuesday was "eras" day. I was considering going 90s but decided it wouldn't involve much dressing up as I'd just be wearing my normal clothes, but all at once. So both me and my friend, I, dressed up as the 50s. I was the sugar sweetie to her pin-up girl. Sadly there's only one photo of my full outfit but I'm 50s inspired now, so I'm sure I'll be wearing something similar soon. We were also joined by L in a 50s house dress with music notes on (!!) and matching accessories. :)

Clueless

 

old headband

Eastpak bagpack

Topshop crop top

skirt from Scotland

mother's jacket

Topshop socks

Urban Outfitters shoes    

This is my last week ever of school so to celebrate, we're dressing up in different themes every day. Today was characters from films, Disney etc so I went as Cher (the blonde) from Clueless. I wore something similar last year but that was more Heather Chandler than Cher Horrowitz. If you can't tell, I love 80s/90s high school films. :)

Reptilian

Asos sunglasses

Tatty Devine necklace

father's tshirt

I was also wearing dinosaur socks but they didn't photograph well. Excuse the hat hair. :)
