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

Remember back in '09?

this just went up on lookbook too :]

random photos :]

I'm saving my 14 things (no I haven't forgotten!) untill the end of the holiday so I can do a sorta holiday-14-things list :] that's in about a week (yeh, my school's holiday system is weeeeirdd)

snow and stuff :]

As promised, here is the roundup of pictures from the holidays...

First... CHRISTMAS :D lots of cute cousins (I am the oldest in my generation, you see, so there are many kiddies running around and asking me for things at any family occasion. Not to mention *shudder* lots of Miley Cyrus music *shudder*)

5 TOP CHRISTMAS PRESSIES :]

1) ipod touch 32g :D This was the big cheese for me. I've been wanting one for ages.

2) A giraffe. Well, sort of. my grandpa adopted one at the zoo for me. what a surprise that was.

3) THE CURE GREATEST HITS in my stocking (yessss!) and the ministry if sound 'electronic 80s' compilation from Loopy.

4) two books called "You know you're a child of the 80s when..." from Phoebe (and yes I am aware that I'm not, technically, a child of the 80s...) and the sartorialist's book in my stocking :]

5) a vintage baseball jacket from bee. Well it wasn't actually a present. I just stuck it my suitcase and she didn't notice. hehehe :3

WHAT TO BUY WITH YOUR XMAS ITUNES VOUCHERS

Out Of the Blue - Julian Casablancas (now that sounds really soppy and taylor-swift-y, mostly because his name is casablancas but it's actually pretty good.)

Letting Go - Team Waterpolo

Haven't we all made this face when opening something?? :p

my amazing handmade wrapping paper :o

GERMANY (wooooo)
a snowball in action. This is a favourite pic of mine :]

the little town of Heidelburg ...and bee :]

OHMYGAWD. Did anyone else watch the dr. who christmas special?? OMGOMGOMGOMG. The master is so fucking evillll (lol at the part where hes wearing a dress :3) and the time lords cant come back. NOO. Then the doctor wont be the only one!! And they looked a little leery. Not like the doctor at all.

wow. I'm such a nerd. no, seriously. :L

Me eating my favourite German word (hmhmhmh that sounded better in my head) a FRIKKADELLE :] and what a word it is!

llamaaaaaahhhkhdks

if you have any more awesome German words (or any language for that matter) drop me a comment :]

3 EPIC THINGS I DID IN GERMANY :D

1) Visited a store where everything is made of gummy bears (well, not everything, but there's a lot of shit made of gummy bears)

2) wore three pairs of socks at the same time o_o

3) Stole some cool posters off the street. Except when my friend told me I could be arrested. Then I stopped.

I think that may just have been a record-breaking amount of photos.

So I won't bore you with a huge chunk of text at the end.

happy holidays bloginos :]

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)

I nearly broke my leg but it was worth it in the end :)

I mean, is there any pose you can't do in mid air?

You'd be surprised, actually. The temptation to don freaky/intense facial expressions is unbearable :p

and of course there's the constant fear of missing the trampoline on the landing.....

Sorry about the outfits, you caught me on a slobbier day :)

go shawty, it was my birthday

Yep, September 10th was my birthday. I am now fourteen! (ok, maybe the header was a dead giveaway on that XD)

As some of you may know, (the more awesome among you ;p) it also happened to be Vogue's Fashion's Night Out :D I managed to trawl most of Oxford Street with Bee and Loopy. And got the TShirt. oh yesh. :D sadly that I didn't get to do New Bond Street... apparently KARL LAGERFELD was in, plus some pretty damn amazing Vivienne Westwood shoe displays :[ it had to be a school night, eh?

I did see some great stuff in oxford street, however :D Selfridges had some cool events... there was a photobooth on the ground floor run by fashionair.com , which I have just checked out and it rocks :p The people there were actually really sweet and let us go in three times *cough cough*



Oh, and, I finally got my creepers!!! Aren't they cute?

aahahhahahaha, no need to flatter me, they're kinda ugly :p but, like, in the cutest possible way, right?? ..........oh well, I like them XD

Ok, now get ready for a shitload of pictures from the day. Some are taken at school, one or two at FNO and a couple at my house afterwards. I know theyre kinda crap, still havent found my way around the DSLR.

Featuring: (in order) loopy, me, alice, nicky, lulu, and abbie :]

(MJ tribute!)

(oh. yish.)

(I love how you can see Abbie's earring.)

I'm wearing: Beatles Tee- DIY, Levi 501 Shorts-vintage via rokit, tights- eh, Creepers- TUK, Jacket- Thrifted (sorry for the repeat there.. I've kinda been living in it XD)

Oh, and let me just thank you guys for the sweet comments about my homemade shorts :] I'm getting ideas put into my head!! I *might*post some more homemade stuff when I can be bothered :]

this suit is NOT. BLACK.

ok, I think I'm ready to show you the pictures from Isa and Violet's stay. I promise some more drawings and designs soon (I'm about to start a new manga doodle which I'll post if it comes out ok, and I have the designs from sewing class still to post n_n)

By the by, these were taken at about 10pm and the lighting was super bad, so i turned my cameras light setting to "warm" which should explain the temperature on some of these~~

anyway, without further ado (oh how british I am...) here are the picturesssss... Tallulah, and Violet (but not Isa!) allowed me to style their outfits, so I shall be way professional and say where everything comes from......

Tallulah~ skirt, American Apparel; Asymmetrical Vest, homemade; Pink Ladies Jacket, boot sale :3

Isa~~ CropTop, Topshop; Bikini Top, Topshop; Shorts, American Apparel; Sunnies, the sharpiefied wayfarers :3

Me~~ CropTop, homemade; hight-waist hotpants, Topshop, Pink Ladies Jacket, Same as before, lazy (jks) Bow, Kings Road.......

Violet~~ Dress, Topshop..... ;)

ok, there's 9 pictures which I think is just about enough to crash your browsers for now :) there are, of course, a ton more, including some gorgeous ones with Tallulah and Isa and the hugest red roses, but I will save those for another post (*cough* don't count on it *cough*)

This suit is black................................................................................................................NOT!
