What I need in my life / Boy London
Today I got all dressed up to go to uni but couldn't be arsed to go in, so I stayed at home and did work. I thought seeing as Queen Mary has just become a Russell group uni I might find it in me to put in a bit more effort.
Or not....
Still waiting for my denim jacket and litas to arrive in the post, should have seen me running down the stairs this morning to check the post!
ALSO ... I have a really cool DIY coming up soon of Boy London hats.
To give you some background...
Boy London is an iconic label created by Stephane Raynor in 1977 that was seen everywhere in the 80's on the chicest trend-setters to club kids.
Now as a favourite label of Rihanna and other celebrities it has made a huge comeback over the last year or so. I will be recreating this hat:
Although it only retails at £30 I can't afford it atm (thanks to my crippling eBay addiction)
And it's really easy to make
WATCH THIS SPACE - tutorial to come.
And because I'm so poor I've decided to put together a wishlist of stuff I would buy right now if I wasn't so skint :)
WHAT I WANT/NEED IN MY LIFE :
2. Multicolour Nail varnish - Topshop
3. Smile Belt - Asos
4. 80's jacket - Rokit QUICK SOMEONE BUY ME THIS!!!
5. Flatform / platform leopard print trainers - Office
6. Banana print T-Shirt dress - ASOS
7. Gym Satan Laundry muscle T - UNIF

DIY body chain - cross earring - pink nails - New Mascara
This morning I woke up a bit of a diva, sent Rob (my boyfriend) to the shop for Shreddies in the rain then decided to stick huge long fake nails on top of my own short little stumps :)
I used Collection 2000 Hot Looks fast dry in 34 - Hula Hoop as a base on top of Nailene full cover Oval nails.
Fancied a bit more than just candy pink so I whipped out some black nail varnish (by No. 7) and went to town :)
Ignore my misshapen witch fingers hahaha!
Last night, after spending a good three hours working in the library I made a couple of pieces of jewellery.
Whilst drooling over Zac Efron I managed to construct this dangly cross earring. It drapes right down to my shoulder and I don't think it's bad for a first try?
The only thing I would have liked to do differently is to buy gold crosses as opposed to bronze ones. I really wanted to make the earring gold as opposed to silver but hey I'm skint so I just got the cheapest offered by ebay.
I also managed to throw together this Body chain, pretty simple , using about 1.5m of two different types of chain :) What do you think?
Just realised Orange have cut off my phone because I forgot to pay my bill, that's what I get for caring about the environment by scrapping paper bills .
Also just accidentally called the police, the operator was not impressed when I told her I was calling Orange to pay my bill and my new nails were making this very difficult. Awwkkwarrrd.
Oh sorry if my writing is shit I am quite overwhelmed with the Welsh Rugby win !!!

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
