Fishnets, flatforms, styling and a lovely day out at the Louboutin exhibition

I lied when I said I would be posting more after my exams I've been having too much fun at night time to allow time for posting waahhhh! But this will be a long post which makes up for that no?

This is what I put on today, repping a cheeky bit of last nights make-up.The most worrying thing is, I wore something very similar to go out last night.

MESS.

Denim Jacket : Ebay and DIY, Crop top : Topshop sale , Shorts : Wangler DIY , Bumbag : Vintage Moschino , Fishnets : Primark , Flatforms : Ebay , Necklaces : Borrowed from various individuals

I love my studded denim Jacket, some lovely drunk girls were raving over it last night in Dixie Chicken.

For some reason I look like I have a shiny gold tooth in this picture. I don't.

As I write I'm sat in bed with a hangover listening to Lecs Luther, calm and sexy stuff. Have a listen?

I had the pleasure of styling another shoot for my friend Hanna Hillier over at The Sheet on Saturday for Next Models. We had a great time, the model Sara Semic was great and a bit of a legend Hanna got some amazing shots (as always) and I just threw clothes on someone beautiful. Here's a couple of preview shots from the shoot:

I love how she works the double denim in the second picture, so much better than Britney and Justin circa 2001 haha!

Also this week me and Jackie got all cultural and went to the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the design museum, needless today it was amazing

We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition but the lovely curator let me dick around by the entrance :)

Me and Jackie both agreed the best part of the exhibition was definitely the Louboutin X David Lynch fetish room. Some of the designs are pretty dark, I love the ones where the heels are too long for the shoe. The photography is amazing, I can imagine the stories behind them so vividly.

Here's a few pairs we wanted to steal from the main exhibition...see the theme occurring here

I just got a call and I have an Interview at Miss Selfridge Oxford Circus on Friday, I'm absolutely shitting myself.. any pointers guys?

Anyway, here's my wishlist for this week :

Boohoo bag : Reminds me of the Alexander Wang Marion bag which I LOVE!
Tee and Cake London Map T-Shirt
River-Island Bikini: I LOVE this print, also the girly frills are cute.
Miss Selfridge Shirt: Love the paisley print
River-Island Crop top : I could probably NEVER pull this off but I love the tackiness of it.
Lavish-Alice shirt
Romwe T shirt

If and when I get a job I am going to purchase ALL OF THESE THINGS.....

Easter, Bristol, hangovers and DIY : Safety-pin cross T

The past week has been the best I have had in ages, although it has rendered me completely skint.. no I mean dirt poor. I got to go home to Bristol for the first time since January (seems like eternity), got to attend my first Shapes, was pretty good and

best of all it's a night put on by some of my nearest and dearest friends. Loads of amazing people

Above : Me and Anne Marie drunking it up - Check out her nails SO GOOD!

Despite being of questionable sobriety all night I managed to catch lots of what was going on , I especially enjoyed Pardon my French and of course the Lovely Fuz, threw a lot of SHAPES Definately check this night out if you are in the West Country soon, the Actual DJ Jazzy Jeff is heading up the next night look here.

YES THE ACTUAL JAZZY JEFF

But now I'm back in London and back to work, which may I add is going terribly. Being a shot girl is so hard, I'm not pushy enough for sales, the kind of people who tend go to the clubs I work in are vile, I really don't like men or the women who are bitchy to me because they think I'm hitting on their scum-bag boyfriends GET A LIFE! The things I do for money hmmmm...

Sorry rant over.

Anyway because of my lack of work I have had to reinvent stuff I already have

like this American Apparel tank DIY with safety pins:

Pretty self explanatory really, so easy and I LOVE it. Also cracking out the purple lipstick lately has have a great reaction, in the above photo, I'm wearing Revlon - Va Va Violet.

But anyway today I went to the doctors and decided to dress up seeing as I haven't emerged from my room for 24 hours after Fabric the other night. I don't even know half of what went on, all I

know is Christian , If you are out there HEEEY MAAAN!

I love how the tie dye came out in these shorts, pastels are sick ! I wore the oversized sheer shirt to offset the tightness of the shorts/ attempting some kind of volume like the current trend (I naturally gravitate to tight clothes), I did spend the whole day pulling these out of my bum - however I still looked good n'est-ce pas?
