I've been a little bored and cold-y lately so I started playing around with some settings on photoshop.
The photos are all old, you might recognise some of them.

this one took me the longest... ended up with 108 layers!!!

also I made my blog a bit wider :) tell me if you like :D

my week BOOM

and what a stressful one it has been.
Last week consisted of:

dressing up as a leopard

I finally inherited this coat from my Grandma after bugging her about it for ages. I actually wore this outfit on Monday... and. omg! My headteacher saw me in this outift and told me, "young lady, you look very mysterious. I like your coat." lml :)

Oh and that's a pocky in my hand. I wanted a cigarette in a long holder like audrey but the pocky had to suffice :)

and it's on lookbook too WORD :D

drawing

This was inspired by 'Petals' by the Honorary Title. (Does anyone know what that is???)

Vyu eet in hiyur resolooshun heer

baking conceptual cakes

cupcakes are a human right of passage. These were actually baked to keep my little cousin busy but after she left I couldn't help but get a little artsy :p

OBSERVE!

zipper cake

Chanel cakes

Cakes which observe YOU :o

pacman cake and friends

patriotic cake (I didn't have any blue...)

CAKEEEEEES :)

making gcse choices

stress! Other year nines will know how I feel. Only at my school we have to choose four extra subjects instead of three. AGH. well, as it stands, my gcses are:

English English Lit. Maths (grr) Blodge Chem Physics German

and my extras are: Art (yeeaah) RS History Drama

only my Dad wants me to do Latin instead of Drama 'cause it's family tradition or some shit. grraaaaaah.

and I've been reading Lord of The Rings and dancing and singing and thinking about dying my hair :)

AND ONE LAST THING! (this is important...)

thanks for all the support after my drawing of michelle! (I'm almost at 60 followers! keep em coming!) SO. If you commented asking to be drawn... email me at bella.englisheccentric@googlemail.com and it shall be done :)

"who's been icing the toaster?"

(^^^what my mum said to me the other day when Bee and I were making yummy buttercream icing and it went all over the kitchen.)

Anyway, michelle of glisters and blisters asked me to draw her (I was going to use the term "bellafy" but it made me physically cringe inside my cowboy boots.) She has a fantasic polished-yet-edgy style, creating some patchwork leggings which I find pure genius :) Of course they were included in my drawing along with some other stuff I thought she'd be likely to wear. taadaaaaaahahhh

view it in higher resolution cause bigger is better :)
if you want to be drawn then do tell me. Otherwise I will be lazy and just stalk lookbook rather than being creative.

and shall we finish with a humourous album cover?

Boogie on, my little goats. Boogie on. *wipes tear from eye*

I'm not trying to impress you but..... I'm Batman.

so here is my gentlemanly outfit :]
I tried doodling it and thought the two pictures looked kinda cool next to one another.
wwowooooooo

jeans - Topshop, Creepers :D, shirt - brother's, bracespenders, the hat! woot!

oh and then I put it up on lookbook :)

I nicked the abe hat off my friend. I have been saying "fourscore and thirty years ago....." nonstop over the last few days :D fo shizz. I mean... for the shizz-eth (???) The braces/suspenders (whatever the hell you wanna call them... they both have alternate meanings...) are my latest purchase, from a store called "crazy vintage" in portobello :)

also, I have been considering a little new-years revamp. Maybe change my layout and header a little?
Thoughts?

Fail Nails (and other tales)

The Fail Nails

OMFG I PAINTED UNION JACKS ON MY NAILS! Nothing says patriotism like wearing one's flag on one's manicure. It was a bit of a fail...and you're not seeing the other hand (it turned into modern art.)

The Other Tales

An outfit I wore ages ago that was decidedly blog-worthy.
Batman top (you now have the batman theme tune stuck in your head.) - Portobello/DIY, Velvet shorts - vintage, tights - topshop, cardi - uummmm new look?, geek glasses - boutique-ish place full of art students


Not only is there a rosette in my hair, but it's a FIRST PLACE rosette which was actually won by my dog... (my mom/dad/brother got bored of me raiding their wardrobes.... but the dog can't speak english so....)

it looks a little better bigger

and lastly, my friend Autumn asked my to draw her. If you want to be drawn, drop me an email. I'm pretty lazy about drawing and will never do it if people don't ask me.

sorry this was so overdue, agghhhhh, I'm behind on my blogging and commenting! (speaking of which, 37 comments on my boingy photos :D)

because we haven't had a drawing in a while

nope, it's been mostly photos and outfits lately. shocking.
here are some drawings from egypt.... due to a shortage of scanners over there I was forced to do the whole picture-of-a-picture thing.... never all that flattering (especially with my little camera.)

*cough* still havent got any emails *cough cough* ;)

Hey, Teacher, leave my shorts alone!

Yes, I did get a scolding at school today for wearing too-short-shorts. I feel I give a new meaning to the phrase "suffering for fashion" :p
speaking of school, (which started last thursday, by the way,) I've seen a lot of first-day-of-school posts and wanted to do one. I snapped this slightly crappy picture before I walked out the door :] Vivienne Westwood-ish, no?

Jacket- thrifted, TShirt- Little Boots gig :D, shorts- homemade, tights- who cares, boots- garage sale, necklaces- primark/King's road, bow- King's road

It is also an exciting time for me, as Jonah has allowed me sub-ownership of his semi-proffessional camera :D this was taken with it, but it is not done much justice because..

1) I have a ridiculously early wakeup time and the sun was not even out at this point/I was extremely tired...

2) I have no idea how to work it (he didn't think to give me the manual :p)

3) We have just had this wallpaper put in and I doubt I can stand in front of it for too long without passing out/going silly from the fumes :]

and I now have a few "separate notes" which may be somewhat interesting...

Some of you may know my incredibly fluffy dog, Cosmo....

(with Abbs)

legend :D

Anyway, in exchange for my picture of her (thanks for all the lovely comments on it :D) abbie gave me this rendition:

Thanks, love :]

and, last but not least, Alice, my incredibly chic friend, has created Little Miss London 09 , she's done a few great posts already so please check it out :]

cheerio for now :D

A spoonful of Chanel :]

I saw Coco Before Chanel the other day with Bee and it inspired this little doodle of a Chanel-ish person....

please click for the bigger version,  or click here if it isn't working. It looks a lot better in high resolution!!

Anyways, I have always liked the understated glamour of a drapey silk shirt. I added a boyfriend jacket and tapered trousers, which Coco seemed to be wearing throughout most of the film. You should definitely see it if you haven't already, by the way :D 

Oh, and if anyone knows where to get those amazing lime-green tapered trousers I keep seeing, could they tell me cause I want some like hell?

quick quick quick post of quickness :D

just wanted to very quickly show you this doodle of my OCs Mariko (left) and Sachiko (right) cause i havent posted in a while ;)

I'll post some more tomorrow/later :)

now, how quick was THAT???

Most Recent :)

Well, the site is pretty much set up and I've sorted it out so it looks ((hopefully)) like I've put some work into it. anyhoo, here are my most recent drawings, designs and photos....

Drawings~

I'm taking a risk putting these up, cause i have no idea if blogger will do them any justice. Hopefully the picture quality wont emphasize those little flaws that keep me up at night!! (joking!! :p *nervous laugh*)

Here is my Lady GaGa, which i spent two weeks on despite not actually liking her music all that much and feeling ever-so-slightly suicidal by the end.... the lyrics on her arm are from 'Paparrazi'

and here is Anon, (credit to Abbie for the name n_n) she's my cool little angel-turned-Devil. Cliched?? noooooo ;)

Designs~

Last week I went on a sewing course and made a ton of crap, but I think I'll make a new post for that. For now I'll just show my sharpie-fied wayfarers....

Photos~

The last photo-taking oppurtunity I had was at Latitude Music Festival. I had semi-blue hair (hahah) and was with Loopy :)

tomorrow Isa and Violet, my photographic muses, (eheheh) are coming over for a few days so expect mucho photos soon :)

yayyyy!!! i just made my first post!!!
