WA WA WE WAH - BAAAACK :D
Kimono - H&M
Playsuit - Vintage
Shoes - H&M
Body Chain - DIY
Sunglasses - ASOS
I just love to avoid things.....work, social media (especially Facebook and Twitter at the moment :S), moving, doing anything apart from eating and reading fantasy books...... I got back from holiday a couple of weeks ago now and I've only just managed to be arsed to do a blog post #lame .I was supposed to do shitloads of holiday posts too, but that went out the window with no makeup, spending all my time in a bikini and being drunk 90% of the time ha! My lovely mummy took these photos for me on the second day I spent in Turkey and I like them so I thought I'd do a time machine blog post from the past :D So depressing looking at these photos now actually, MY OUTFIT DOESN'T EVEN GO TOGETHER + I've put on half a stone and even though it's hot in London, it's no Kalkan :(
I know it's only a little post but I'm glad to be back into the swing of things, I'm going to be doing some fun stuff that I'll be documenting on here soon as well :D I always say that - hopefully it's true this time, I always find I'm too busy enjoying things to be taking photos and writing about it on here NEED TO DO BETTER! ALSO ... thanks for all the lovely comments you posted on my last blog post - made me all happy and want to go wah wah we wah to myself a la Borat :D
Smell you later

Top : H&M
Shoes : Topshop
Necklace : Oxfam
Bracelets : Asos
Earrings : Primark
I friggin' love Vintage Basement! I mentioned it the other day in a post but I didn't get to show you my goodies :D I wore this outfit to the Beau Homme menswear presentation the other night and I lav the mix of prints - it even got my dads coveted seal of approval. I went to the presentation at the invitation of the awesomeness that is Jen - met some legends, ogled fit models and saw this girl who dare I say it looked exactly like Rihanna (so much so I did a double take) but then I realized she was actually better looking :O
AND GUESS WHAT?? You guys should be proud of me - I think it is the only event I've attended as a blogger with a free bar and I haven't got absolutely hammered YAY ME *pats self on the back*
Anyway...I am counting down the days till Sunday when I get to leave horrid grey London and escape to 35 degree heat. AAAAAAND I'm well up for doing holiday outfit blog posts, got so many bikinis/neon/vintage/prints/crazy ish to whip out for the lads :D
Oh and I forgot to tell you guys I did another Youtube haul video the other day .... Filmed it on a camera from 2001 so just pretend it's supposed to be all cool and vintage like that hahaha!
lots of love :)

Educate Elevate Summer Lookbook
Heeeeeeeeey!
I haven't really done one of these posts before, I'm going to be trying out some new things over the next few weeks - decided I should be filling up my copious amounts of free time with blogging as opposed to vegetating in my bed/sofa. As you can probably tell looking back through my blog I have loved Educate Elevate for a while now- their pieces are really cool ( I lived in my Educate Elevate beanie this winter) and as I'm sure you've noticed I'm a sucker for anything with a 90's aesthetic. They have got even better this summer with bits and pieces I really wanted them to do - CROP TOPS YESSS!!! So I thought I had better show you guys their summer lookbook ....
This lookbook has made me dig out my string vest and now I want to wear it over all of my t shirts. My favorite pieces are the new basketball jerseys and the Flyfirl earrings, hella ratchet in the best possible way PLEASE BE MINE. That white flygirl crop top also needs to be mine :D
I hope you liked this post, let me know - sorry if I've led you to decimate your bank account a bit by showing you this collection haha!
If you'd like to see more of me click on these links ^_^

T shirt : H&M
Trousers : Primark
Shoes : Jeffrey Campbell
Earrings : H&M
Risa + Jen
Esther + Carmen
Brooke Candy
Badass!!
A'right guys? I just wanted to say I loved the comments on my last post! I'm glad i'm not the only one who has those thoughts - some of the comments cracked me up, you guys are so cool :D !!
Anyway, going back in time here- finally got hold of my memory card thanks to the lovely Gabriella :) A couple of weeks back I was lucky enough to be invited to the Gogo Philip X Malibu 1992 'Golden Palm' launch party and it was bangin'! Not only did I get pissed up, but I got to have a look at the amazing new pieces from the collection - loved the Malibu kinda tacky, but in a awesome way vibe! My favorite piece was the Huge palm tree doorknocker earrings HAVE TO OWN THEM! I went with the lovely Jen and got to meet some blogger honeyz - Risa, Esther and Carmen who were all really nice. One of the best bits was getting to see Brooke Candy perform in the intimate/tiny Gogo Philip shop- she rapped live and she was SO GOOD! Afterwards I managed to get a photo with her and she was such a babe - she told me I was hot like twice and said she liked my blowup backpack EEEEEEE!!!
If you get a chance you should pop down to the Gogo Philip shop on Curtain Road just off Brick Lane - I didn't even know it was there but it's really nice and the people are lovelies. I'm going to be doing quite a few posts set in the past and some from the present mixed in over the next week so keep coming back :)
Happy Saturday!!

Jeans : Charity shop via Jen
Jumper : Mr GuGu and Miss Go
Satchel : La moda* - here
Shoes : White Coltranes - Karmaloop - On sale get them HERE
Welcome back me! Hey guys :) Quickie update - I am not impressed with how my blogging has been going lately, but who gives a fuck life goes on! I'm unsure how other bloggers post every day, my life consists of working, hangovers and generally things besides the internet. Also, I've pretty much stopped reading blogs apart from a few favourites which is quite weird but, not saying I'm doing anything drastically different, but there is NOTHING inspiring about reading and seeing a 'hypothetical ootd' post of someone who doesn't even wear that outfit out, or reckons they're a model- I'm realistic about this blogging shit ya know ;D ?!
But I will try to do a bit more - especially since I got invited to a whole load of press days which, as it turns out are actually quite fun. Pretty much all the bloggers I've met are babes as you shall see in future posts. For the moment I can't do much though, my camera was left in Newcastle but rest assured the latest from Gogo Philip, Republic and Vintage Corner at Cancer research are coming soon ;) Anyyyyyyway... summer is here at last, less clothes, more creeps, sunbathing, diets, colourfulness and BBQs are happening. Had a really good BBQ yesterday managed to jerk a sack of chicken legs, got Rob to make burgers and fell asleep on the sofa in a food coma afterwards, SATISFIED. Green hair is also happening in case you didn't notice :) . The absolute babe that is Suzan from La Moda sent me this gorgeous white satchel the other day. I actually ran to the post office to pick it up, looking like a mug struggling to breathe with my studded bumbag and a parcel under one arm- yay me for working out. I haven't taken it off my shoulder since, THANKS MAAAN :) , also goes with my friggin cool new white coltranes. I actually hated Jeffs for quite a while but my white obsession came to a head and when I saw these, I had to have them. Already had them for a few weeks, went to a warehouse rave in them - if you go there I recommend white shoe polish cos they look good as new!
Sorry about the rant, I'm pretty sure I can't be the only one who thinks sometimes maybe blogs may get a little boring? (aside from the arse lickers of course) LET ME KNOW LOVELIES :D
KISSES

AMSTERJAM - Part 1
I'm sat in the library procrastinating. I've had two exams already and I've got three more in the space of three days next week. Kill me now. I'm past the point of caring tonight anyway, so I thought I'd do a quick post I've been meaning to do for a while about my recent trip to Amsterdayyyyym! It was the best trip EVER! Worthy of a huge photo montage for anyone who wants to see it
Enjoy :)
We got a coach there and went on the ferry.
Stayed in these cool little eco lodges just outside the city centre- Camping Zeeburg, I'd recommend it :)
I put two hats on for a laff - Get both of them at www.educateelevate.com
They had bunkbeds, I obv went for the top bunk.
There were so many canals in Amsterdam, it was BEAUTIFUL!
The Dam in the city centre
It was SO COLD, hence wearing a million layers
Dickheads on tour
The Cheese Museum was AMAZING! Free samples of cheese all round.
Went to the Van Gogh museum, Jade took a sneaky picture :)
No trip to Amsterdam is complete without visiting the Sex Museum

Jeans : Topshop Joni
Trainers : Adidas via Asos
Nails : Models Own - Luis Lemon
I've just come hack from Amsterdam and I'm back to living in a perpetual hell of university work AND IT'S HORRID! I'm going to do a post on my trip this week at some point, it was SO GOOD! I am chilling tonight watching Game Of Thrones and shouting at the telly during Made In Chelsea - thought why not do a blog post ey? My lovely housemate Emma took these photos quickly after we got back from the library, and let me just say I made a rookie error wearing this fluffy coat outside when the weather was actually quite warm. I cannot express the amount of love I have for my new trainers, I ordered them off ASOS the other week after much umming and ahhing, the fact the 20% student discount code was still working a day late was a sign and I had to have them. ANYWAYS... thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and do one of those random facts posts to jazz up le old blog ENNNNNJJJJOOOOOOOYY :) !!!
- I lived in LA for a little bit when I was a tiddler, being 9 and moving to America was WEIRD, my second day in school I put on an American accent at school for the rest of the time I was there - LOSER!
- I LOVE CHEESE - it's so good, if I was lactose intolerant I would get the shits everyday because I'd still eat cheese.
- I have a perfectly rectangular scar on my forearm because my housemate Gabby used her laser hair removal thing on it and apparently it doesn't like black people.
- I still suck my thumb and have a blanky... I refuse to grow up
- Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 years WINNING!
- My ear used to be stretched to 1.2cm - don't do it, I have a cats bottom on my ear now.
- I don't like cheese and onion crisps, they are mule.
- I think everything should be tried once, or twice....or lots.. ALL THE TIME!
- I read A LOT of historical romance and fantasy books.
- I grew up in Bristol and it's my favourite place in the world.
- I used to work in a butchers when I was 15 and loved it- but not when my boss wiped a cow tongue down my arm when I wasn't looking EW. Bone bins and blood tanks were fine though :)
- I think 50 Shades of Grey is shit. Nothing erotic about it.
- I always used to win the wrestling matches that took place on my kitchen floor in halls BEAST!
- I am always talking about poo.. its weird.
- I love cooking curry, I nail my grandmas butter chicken recipe TO A TEE!
- My middle name is Gregory. Wtf.
- I don't care about being skinny enough to exercise/eat healthily - I'd rather have an ass and boobs - you don't get 34FF boobs without cake!
- My favourite colour is GREEN
- I've never so much as set foot in a Hollister/ Jack Wills/ Abercrombie and Fitch shop and I'm bloody proud of it.
- I am gay for Rihanna, totes had a sex dream about her the other night.
There you have it. Hope you don't think I'm a dick now :)

OOTD - Attempting to dress like a lady
Floral Crop top : C/O Shopvalscloset
Dress : Found it
Denim Hoodie : Bootsale
Shoes : H&M £24.99
Socks : H&M
Hey Hey !! Yet again I am too busy to do anything apart from procrastinate with my uni work and sleep, but I am determined to keep at the blogging. I CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER - I'm sick of wearing three jumpers and dressing like a man, my legs need a tan ya know! On a slightly sunny day last week I donned this outfit, pretty girly for me but there's something lovely about wearing a dress when none of my jeans are fitting :) The lovely Val of Vals Closet sent me this lush floral crop top from her vintage store ShopValsCloset, I didn't fancy getting my belly out- IT'S FREEZING MAN! So, I layered it up to brighten up this boring dress. I'm already planning on whipping out this bad boy when it's a bit warmer, with a floral skirt- going to be wearing a lot of prints this summer I can tell you now. How cool are these H&M shoes too? I've seen them on a few bloggers , including my fave Helena of www.bellsfashion.blogspot.co.uk, They look like something Jeffrey Campbell ripped off another brand but are nice and cheap for skint students like me :) Anyway, safe to say I'm not going to be blogging much BUT I have already recorded a Youtube to go up for you guys, when I figure out how to work Windows Movie Maker it'll be up... could be a while HA!
Make sure you check out Shop Vals Closet, grab a 20% discount with the code FRANKIE20
