Dear Mr Bank Manager,

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spend more money...I am a woman in love. With a dress.

ps I found this dress via cute blog Reflections of an Urbanite!

Oh American Apparel, what are you doing to me? You appear to have read my mind and discovered my love of sheer things, things with the letters of my name on and oversize things (they make me feel skinny)...

They didn't have a picture of the Rr version (explanation of R here) but it does exsist!

Loving the leather

This (taken from here, via Childhood Flames whose own awesome version I am also in love with) has really got me wanting a bunch of crap to put on my arms, especially something leather with a buckle...
This'd do nicely. Hermes, interestingly only on the US website, for $440.
More realistically, etsy came up with this baby, for $15



I guess I could take a trip to some charity shops and attempt it myself, that seems like the most fiscally responsible option...

A retrospective

Today is my actual birthday (it seems as if I never shut up about it, doesn't it?) and I thought I'd share with you outfits and giggles from previous birthdays, back as far as digital cameras go anyway!

My 21st, you've already seen soem highlights but I thought me and Sea on a bathroom counter was worth seeing!
My 20th, note the similar hair accessory. Yup, we're vogueing.
Saving the best for last, this is my 19th. I weirdly still own everything I'm wearing there. My only wish is that I'd worn something under that vest because the visible bra is so tacky!
This serves not only as a fashion history, but also as a catalogue of my stupid poses!

Happy birthday to me

Hey!

Last night was my birthday party! I had possibly the funnest night ever and got some amazing presents (I shall share the presents later as I won't get most of them until Wednesday, my actual birthday!). We started with drinks at my favourite bar/pub - it's cheap but classy and has hot barmen and random decor; bee wallpaper, mexican wrestling masks and an animal head in 3D glasses...I'll be back there soon enough and maybe I'll get photos of the decor! We headed to a club afterwards which turned out to be awesome too, which is good! You may have to excuse the outfit pictures, Sea and I took them in the bathroom after having had a few drinks!

My vintage shoes were from ebay, 100 denier tights from H&M, Topshop dress and vintage pearls. The hairband is from Topshop too! Traditional toilet shot, mandatory on all nights out:
The fashionsqueah myspace picture, it's really just Sea's fringe and my eyelids!
Shoooes! Mine are the black ones, of course!
Taken in the club by some girl who was drunk enough to point the camera the wrong way but it actually turned out pretty good!
I wanted to show you guys my fur, me and F thrifted them (hers is on the left) yesterday, don't hate but I totally love that thing!
Token crazy drunk photo. I actually wasn't that drunk, even though I had drinks bought for me all night, the magical thing about birthdays!

Thought I'd share that randomness with you!

Come with us now on a journey through time and space...

Hey!

Oh my god, last night was so fun! We saw The Mighty Boosh live and it was the first show of the tour, it was awesome! If you haven't seen the Boosh, please do so immediatly! The only thing that ruined my night was waiting in the merchandise queue for ages for a cute bag, only for the last one to be sold to the girl right in front of me! I got a mug instead though so it's all good! There were not as many people dressed up as I thought either, don't worry I didn't dress up! I was tempted though...I didn't take outfit photos but I basically repeated this outfit; checked dress, big yellow bow, tights...Oh, and we hung around the stage door afterwards to see them come out. In the words of my friend M, "You were like 10 cms from Noel? That's like 1cm from his awesome hair!". Amen.

This was my outfit from during the day, my friend F and I went thrifting but I didn't buy anything 'cause I am poor! F got me an awesome bracelet though as part of my birthday present! It has pearls, I hope she brings it tonight so I can wear it to my party tonight! My party is tonight even though my birthday's not till Wednesday, I'm making my birthday a week-long event this year, apparently!

I love ankle boots but they are so not flattering! Thunda thighs! So these are my new thrifted boots, my usual tightsplease tights, H&M dress which I wore like two days ago and H&M tee. I think the headband is H&M too but it is truly ancient, pre-Gossip Girl! My new flatmate arrives on Sunday, eep! My mum freaked me out by putting the idea into my head that her Mum would like check every nook for dirt so I'm off to clean the fridge! Very glamourous on the day of my big party!
