Bleached denim, sheer dress leopard creepers and my Electric Elephant Wishlist
I can no longer say that I live in my own grotty student flat, I've moved back to the family home for the summer ...woooo. I can't complain really, after the last couple of months of having one meal a day (I prefer clothes to food, although you can't really tell by my figure) and not hoovering once, I am welcomed by the cleanest house in the world with a fridge full of Elderflower cordial and all the Parma ham and frankfurters I can stuff my face with. Wow a lot of pork right there.. I like scones too :)
Despite the miserable weather in London at the moment it was still 18 degrees today so I dressed accordingly, grungy and as little as possible. Here's what I wore :
Denim Jacket : Calvin Klein via ebay + DIY, Sheer dress : my sisters (vintage), Skirt : Topshop ,
Crop top : Topshop Sale, Creepers : Underground.
Anyway, Electric Elephant has crept up on me, I'm going to Croatia on TUESDAY! I didn't even think about doing any holiday shopping until this evening, I haven't enough money for anything really. definately want a new bikini though. Has anyone ever been to Electric Elephant? Or any other Croatian festivals for that matter, I'd love advice on EVERYTHING as I'm practically clueless.
Oh what I'd buy if I had the money.... Here's my summer wishlist :
- Boots : ASOS here
- Parrot Leggings : BamBam here
- Earrings : ASOS here
- HOW AWESOME IS THIS HAT?? : Kokon to Zai here
- Bikini : Newlook here
- Shorts : Topshop here
- Neon top : Forver 21 here
- Sunny G's : ASOS here
- Lipstick : Topshop here
Maybe, if you'd like to fund some of this stuff ( I am a complete charity case) you could buy these lovely boots on my ebay here

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.....

80's playsuit, sunshine and a pair of round glasses
In England it's summer now, London is so hot, everyone is half naked and hells to the yes do you need to go to Costa Coffee and get a fruit cooler (the raspberry and orange one is DIVINE).
Me and Jackie went to the park today to get a tan. I love tanning, every summer without fail I get this obsession with getting darker. I think it's so weird that some celebrities like Lil' Kim and Rihanna bleach their skin whilst the fake tan industry is worth millions! I think there's something so beautiful about really dark skin, it really brings out colours and makes them pop.
I finally put my rainbow laces I bought the other week in my Dr Marten's, every time I look down at my feet they make me smile :)
I'm going to keep this short and sweet, as I'm writing this I'm desperate to get back to my new favourite blog; I seriously can't get enough of www.pumpthatjam.com . I wouldn't be surprised if I never surface again SO MANY CHEESY WEIRD 90'S VIDEOS!!!!! Over the last couple of days (whilst I should have been revising) I've been perusing some fucking ace blogs/tumblrs, you know how it is when you're trying to learn about glaciers.
Here's a few inspiring/funny/interesting blogs I have been loving at the moment:

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
