Sunday Goth in a camouflage jacket : What I wore today
Hope all you guys have had a lovely weekend, mine's been WEIRD. We ended up somewhere in the arse end of Camden and tube journey the next morning was HARROWING. You'd think people on the Piccadilly line at 8 in the morning had never seen a girl in fishnets and platform trainers before HA!
I don't know what it is about Sundays that makes me moody, maybe it's because it's nearly Monday, maybe it's because I'm always hangover. But Sundays are rubbish. So befitting to my sad Sunday mood I went a bit gothic hooker. Here's what I wore:
Lipstick : Revlon Va Va Violet
Negligee worn as a top : Peacocks (old) , Shorts : Levi 501 , Camo jacket : £7 Camden (Fuck you Urban outfitters) , Suspender belt : Anne Summers , Stockings : Tights DIY , Boots : Dr Martens , Sunny G's : Primark , Necklace : Found it somewhere.
Sorry, currently sat here with a bunch of the guys watching I Love You Man for the 50 billionth time so I went a bit overboard with the effects on the photos. I'm going window shopping around Oxford Circus tomorrow, might see if I can get myself a little something to cheer myself up.
Aaaaaaanyway... I'll just keep it at that because my posts seem to be all like BLAH BLAH BLAH I HAVE NO MONEY BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M POOR! ! ! If you get a chance take a look at the junk I have on ebay HERE

My midi obsession: Jessie J's dress, Aztec Primark and LOTS OF SHOES!
MY EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!
And more to the point I'm pretty sure I smashed the last one!!!! I celebrated by drinking a lot of cider ( I'm from the West Country that's what we do ) and sampling the delights at the London Fields outdoor swimming pool, the weather in London has been beautiful the past few days. Yesterday I received this amazing midi dress in the post from ASOS. I fell in love with this dress after seeing it one Jessie J on the voice, I managed to snap one up before they sold out quickly and I wore it out shopping today, I felt so fancy wearing it round Westfield Stratford :
Dress: ASOS , Necklace: Peacocks , Boots: Topshop
I'm not sure exactly what RedBull does to me but it makes me WEIRD. About a week and a half ago I went to Primark and tried on this midi dress (below) and completely fell in love. However, being the cheapskate I am I didn't want to spend £13 on something from Primark when I probably couldn't get that much for it on eBay. Since the day I tried it on I have been no less than OBSESSING over this dress, to the point where I have been trawling eBay for it. Luckily, I managed to find one in Primark Westfield today.
As you can probably see I have a small obsession with midi dresses at the moment, which is ideal because walking down the road in East London wearing anything short results in numerous disgusting men shouting out of their shitty, stupidly loud cars. I really don't understand them at all, has any of them EVER pulled anyone apart from a crack-whore from shouting 'hey.. hey you ...sexy girl' out of their car window? I'm guessing NEVER. The irony of the situation is that if you tell them to fuck off they start getting janky about your looks. I will never understand men. Rant over.
I love this bralet I managed to find is the chaos of Primark, the aztec-y print and pastels are really cool for the summer. Although, be warned if you don't have tiny boobs, the cups are really small, I even got a size up and it's still a bit on the small side.
I LOVE these sunglasses, a bargain at just £2 and I feel like I'm channelling Beyonce in her Linda Farrows seen earlier this year.
I am still obsessed with tie dye, I really can't get enough of it and it's everywhere at the moment in the best possible way. This bodysuit is going to be my latest tie dye project, I'm going to try and make a multicoloured spiral effect. It's so fun and satisfying to tie dye your own clothes, so easy and simple to get a professional looking piece and it's SO CHEAP. I promise to post a tutorial in the next few days :)
I'm really looking forward to a summer filled with blogging, and hopefully a summer full of new shoes if I can get a job. Here's a few rad pairs I want to get my hands on :
- Floral flatforms - £35 River Island
- Black flatforms - £19.99 eBay
- T-Bar studded Jeffrey Campbell Foxy lookalikes - £44.99 Missguided
- Chunky platforms - £40.99 Missguided
- Viper flatforms - £50 ASOS
- Block heel platforms - £22.99 eBay
Oooooh I can't wait for Radio 1's Hackney weekend coming up at the end of June, is anyone else going?
love Frankie

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

from this website.
This is honestly one of the best things I have been introduced to lately and I wanted to share the joy :D .
Here's a few other things I want/have just bought:
- 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...
- Jeffrey Campbell Back off in Silver $179.95 - A little bit more badass than the Acne Atacoma wedges
- Yin Yang leggings £3.99 eBay - Just bought these, I love the print, so 90's AND so much cheaper than the Topshop ones
- Plate spike belt Asos £12.75 with myunidays discount!!!! - I have been lusting over this belt for a while can't wait to wear it with my black high waisted shorts.
- Jeffrey Campbell Stinger Spike $139.95 - I NEED these, I lovelovelove transparent clothing/accessories at the moment!
- 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.
- Jelly shoes £14.99 JuJu - Bought to my attention by my house mate Jackie this morning I am in DIRE need of these shoes, so transparent and jellyey I can't get enough of them
Listen.......can you hear that?...... my bank account is crying.

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

Bashmore, Cable, Acton, Library, DONE.
I went to the library and sat there in the silent section on facebook to my friend sitting across from me. How she got 1400 words done I don't know, I read four powerpoint slides.... in my AA Disco
Pants that's all that matters :)
Where's it from? :
Tank top : Topshop
Trousers : American Apparel Disco Pants
Boots : Dr Marten ten hole
Necklace : Topshop (borrowed)
Earrings : Primark (I know you can't see them sorry)
I had the craziest weekend ever , you don't even want to know what happened. Went to see Julio Bashmore, then to Cable and THEN I ended up in Acton with Emily and Rob and a bunch of people we had never met in our lives (legends) till Monday afternoon. I am seriously in need of some kind of mental treatment for my shopping addiction, it gets worse EVERY DAY. Considering some tartan Jeffrey Campbell Litas, but not sure if they have had their day, I LOVE TARTAN THOUGH!
Not sure ignoring my deadlines and reading a million great blogs is the best way to spend my time but there you go :) Here's a few of my favourites:
Gonna finish watching Alien and go to bed
