Cords : Vintage
Sunny G's : ASOS
Shoes : Office
Ear cuff : Topshop sale
Hoop earring : Primark
Bindi : Ebay
Backpack : Primark
I would like to take a moment to say ...
THANK YOU LOVELIES !!!! OVER 100 FOLLOWERS!!
I got back from Boomtown and looked at my blog and really. No wait REALLY , SO MANY PEOPLE READ IT NOW WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT????
I really appreciate that people enjoy my blog because I'm obsessed with reading/looking at and being inspired by other's ! Thanks to Charmaine from over at www.charmainescloset.blogspot.co.uk for introducing loads of new readers , hey guys :) I actually thought about doing a 100 followers giveaway (looks like that's what everyone else does) but in case you haven't noticed from the title, I am skint so I will just have to give away my love to you all :) MWAH
Boomtown blew my mind yet again, I met the best people, I keep finding phone numbers written on rizlas in everything I own. My lovely boyfriend managed to lost my Purple Galaxy BlackMilk leggings though ( I would cut off his head if he hadn't promised to buy me more. No seriously).
Funnily enough , my dad said I looked like Caren Wheeler from Soul 2 Soul today, hence blog title, must be getting this 90's thing right, LOVES IT ME! After the madness and shenanigans of Boomtown I've toned it down a bit, still can't quite be parted from my Bindis though, I think they are here to stay FOREVER.
I'm going to cut it off there, I just got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 for anyone who's interested) and I am desperate to start playing around with it, already had it for about 5 hours and don't know how it works haha!
I can't wait to show you all my Boomtown photo's when they get developed watch this space :)

Acid wash, gold chain, DIY Ombre hair and this weeks lustlist
Polo neck crop top : Maxmara via charity shop , Acid wash Jeans : My sisters via ebay ,
Wedge Trainers : H&M , Necklace : Peacocks
Hey dudes! I'm back with a tan! Croatia was amazing, we caught the end of the Garden festival along with Electric Elephant, had fun with my most amazing Bristol girls, beauties from Dublin, saw some ace DJs and partied for 6 days straight. This photo sums up the week really HA!:
I am still poor as a church mouse so haven't been able to get my braids again BOO!! But I really wanted to change my hairstyle so I went ombre. I prefer this ombre look so much more to my pre blog pink dip dye, really subtle and didn't make it all break off!
Also, I decided to take my eyelashes into my own hands and apply my own long lasting eyelash extensions (last photo) . I used to pay around a tenner to get them done in Peckham but I managed to do them myself with just £3.00 worth of lashes from a beauty shop and some weave glue! Now I know that sounds horrific but they are SO GOOD!! And they don't pull out my lashes when I remove them like the professionally applied ones, I might even do a Youtube video tutorial, so easy to apply and they last for like 2 weeks!
Anywhooooo payday is coming up and we both know I've already mentally spent that money :
- White silk polo neck dress : Topshop Unique AW12
- Last judgement leggings : BlackMilk
- Gorilla tank top : Romwe
- High waisted Easy Jeans : American apparel
- Cheetah T shirt as seen on Rihanna !!! : Katie Eary
- Bra top : Monki
- Eye jumper : Monki
- Flatform trainers : River-Island
Six days and counting :)

When I got 90's braids, tie dye outfit of the day and my LUSTLIST
Going to keep this one short and sweet, exam period and all that. The past week I have been OBSESSED with getting my hair braided, to the point where the other morning I was up till 5am no less looking at video tutorials and pictures of other peoples braids. Unable to revise I did the only thing I could possibly do in such a situation. Went to Peckham and got my hair did :)
Denim Shirt: Topshop , Tank top: Boy London
Ta DAAAA! What do you think? I cried several times (looking like that music teacher Jess went out with on new girl, such an ugly crier) when I got home with this new style, but eventually after much encouragement from my sister and my boyfriend I have embraced it. I now feel like I'm channelling Janet Jackson in Poetic Justice or Moesha - generally just awesome 90's hair.
My dad on the other hand said I just look like I came back from a holiday to Barbados haha!
Today was supposed to be sunny (in my mind anyway) so I dressed appropriately...
I really need to get on and book a summer holiday, the way things are going at the moment I will have spent all the holiday money on clothes.One of my recent purchases is a black leather backpack from eBay which was only £7.00 I can't wait for it to come!! You should see the backpack I'm using at the moment it's my little sisters pink and brown Roxy one euughh..
Also something I need to share with you is the Myunidays discount IT IS AMAZING! As a student, to get student discount online at places like Asos and Topshop you need to buy an NUS extra card that costs £11, or pinch an NUS card number of a friend. Alas, I have never bought one being a complete cheapskate so when I heard about myunidays I was ecstatic
Various percentages of discounts are available for:
Here's a few other things I want/have just bought:

Crop top: Topshop , Shorts: DIY Vintage Levi 501 , Necklace: Federation Bristol ,
Spiked Bracelet: Forever 21 _ photos by my lovely housemate Jackie <3
It wasn't sunny. But I feel summery anyway, I love this crop top, tie dye as you have probably figured out is one of my favourite things at the moment along with shoulder cut outs, I wish I could do one this complicated but alas I'm not that skilled. This outfit is perfect for lazing around in London Fields like I'm going to be doing all summer. Luckily enough I'm not venturing outside today as the weather is a bit shit, my first exam is tomorrow and I need to revise more eeeeek!
Rings : H&m , Don't know , Topshop

This is honestly one of the best things I have been introduced to lately and I wanted to share the joy :D .

- Splash dyed Topshop denim sleeveless shirt £38 - this shirt is lush but in no way would I pat that amount of money for it... I think I smell a DIY coming on...

- Yin Yang leggings £3.99 eBay - Just bought these, I love the print, so 90's AND so much cheaper than the Topshop ones

- Motel at ASOS Midi dress £28 - Now usually I don't buy from motel (the quality can be a bit iffy and EVERYTHING is hand wash only!) but I LOVE the print and I think it's about time I got a midi.
- Black Milk Cathedral Leggings £46.76 - Definitely going to buy these this week, been waiting for them to be restocked for ages! I love the print, it is an actual image of a stain glass window in France oooooh.

Styling a goddess, bit of Boy London and a road trip to Newcastle
Last weekend was the best weekend ever! My friend Hanna Hillier called me up and asked if I could style a photo shoot for her with this AMAZING model Daniela Braga. Daniela was phenomenal, beautiful, lovely and she has an amazing back catalogue of work; she did Paris fashion week, New York AND she shot a campaign for Givenchy a couple of weeks before the shoot we did!! I was so nervous but I'm really chuffed as the shots actually made it on to the next website. Here are a few of my favourites:

I love how she is wearing my Nikes in thee last shot :)
Despite the language barrier (she is Brazilian) we got along really well, she was so down to earth and probably the most gorgeous person I have ever seen in the flesh.
Then on Sunday I went shopping to Topshop with my dad and his lovely girlfriend, tried on half the shop and got an insane amount of new clothes which I will no doubt be sharing with you in due course. This is what I wore on that little excursion:

Top : Gina Tricot, Jeans : Topshop, Shoes : Underground (My little sister's)
This weekend the much exalted student loan came in - my quality of life has gone through the roof as a result. First thing I did was purchase this beater (as my boyfriend would call it) from Boy London:
I've been wanting one for ages and I like to think one day my future child will thank me for it. By the way, that is now how I'm justifying my clothing and accessories binging. My mum hasn't really got any of her clothes from the 80's and 90's left due to moving country etc. I am always so jealous of my friends amazing vintage wardrobes courtesy of their mothers, so buying copious amounts of interesting clothes is my way of helping out my future daughter with hers.
The beater should be at my house by the time I get back from Newcastle, YEAH BUDDY!!!!
At the moment I'm all the way up in Newcastle for my friends Gabby's boyfriends house night Nocturnal Playground, also I'm told in Newcastle they sell triples behind the bar WTF?? I think tonight might be very messy.
We experienced the delights of Newcastle today at the Metro Centre, I didn't really buy anything because I literally don't need any more clothes after this weekend but it all right, not as god as Westfield London though mind. This is what I wore during the day:
Top/dress : Topshop , Leggings : Black Milk , Boots : Dr Martens , Earrings : Miss Selfridge
I apologise for the weird facial expression, I should really start putting a paper bag over my face haha!
This is what I'm wearing tonight when we go out:
Bodysuit : Miss selfridge , Disco Pants : American apparel , Boots : Jeffrey Campbell
I am absolutely DREADING the coach back to London tomorrow afternoon, seven hours in hungover hell, hopefully it will be empty so I can spread out over a couple of seats. Wish me luck

A bunch of stuff I'm sure we all want : Black Milk x Jeffrey Campbell, Vivienne Westwood galaxy accessories and bracelet clutches
I think I may be the poorest I have been for a very long time, going to top- up my oyster card is touch and go.. yeah THAT poor.
Jeffrey Campbell + Black Milk
- Back off - bone machine
- Night lita - rainbow galaxy
- Damsel - rainbow galaxy
- Damsel - sick of men
- Damsel - bone machine
- Lita Fab - sick of men
I was browsing the Black Milk site the other day, not buying anything due to extreme poorness when I came across these bad boys. Available for pre order at Solestruck, all of these gorgeous boots are guaranteed to be a sell out, my favourites are the Night lita rainbow galaxies mmmmmm...
On a similar note : Vivienne Westwood Galaxy S/S12
I NEED the shoulder bag with the chunky chain in my life, just the right amount of ghetto bling x nebula = sexy.
Today I became aware of Werelse x mango touch (1). Those wedges and that bag and that cuff, OH MY GOODNESS. I love the up market bondage feel of the pieces, those wedges are lucky they are already sold out because I don't know what I'd do to them, paired with a black oversized t shirt dress and chunky gold chain necklace and you have yourself a look. The clutch with the chain bracelet inspired me to go on a hunt for more like it, (2) and (3) are both from Zara, I know this trend has come up a few times in the last few years (Kors/Gucci/Cavalli) but this dark, minimal take appeals to me a lot more than the more embellished designs I've previously seen.
On a far less glamorous note, this is what I wore today :
p.s I couldn't be arsed to brush/straighten my hair, this is what you get TA DA
Where is it from?
Lipstick : Mac - freckletone
Tank top : Topshop (via eBay)
Skirt : Hanna's (charity shop and shortened)
Necklace : Anne Maries (I promise I'll give it back next week )
Belt : ASOS
I was at Hanna's last night going through her amazing wardrobe and I found this skirt, she has more clothes than God. I love this print it is so bright, tropical and combined with my new 'smile' belt makes for a lovely sunny day outfit, shame it was raining ha! I'm not sure if I'm feeling the grey tank/big boobs combo, but hey I was at my dads and didn't have any other t shirts clean.
It's only a short amount of time till student loan day, I CAN'T WAIT!
As soon as that money hits my account I will be hitting the Pimlico and Hammersmith charity shops hard so watch this space
8 days to go
