Walks and Ponytails.

I was in the process of writing this blog post yesterday when my boyfriend Ross pulled the plug on my laptop and forced me to go on a walk. I wasn't happy to say the least but admittedly I really did enjoy the walk as it was such a lovely evening and there was practically no one about. If you follow me on instagram (safiyamarie) then you can have a looksee at some picture we took. 
 
Dress: H&M
Cardigan:Saved from being chucked out

Moving away from being forced to do exercise here is what I wore to my friends house on Thursday. I took these photos when I got back hence the flash and what not. I don't think they turned out too bad but I do prefer my normal shots. 


I bought this dress a couple summers ago and wore it for the first time at a house party. I ended up getting rather drunk and jumping out of a window (it seemed the best idea at the time) and catching the dress on the side of the window resulting in a giant hole. Upon discovering the giant hole I cried. A lot. 

I'm proud to say that I've recovered from the traumatic event and have since patched up the hole. 


I'm also wearing a cardigan? Waistcoat? Wooly thing without sleeves? Seriously someone one help me out here. Anyway, I retrieved this item from a bag of my dads clothes that my mum was chucking out. I just love throwing it over otherwise 'boring' outfits and is great for the summer if it's a bit nippy but not nippy enough for a cardigan. 


Going off track here, but wasn't the Olympic Opening Ceremony awesome? Well apart from the hobbit bit at the beginning of course. What did you guys reckon to it? Personally the best bit was the giant blow up Voldemort, I mean how awesome was that?



Just as a bit of a dread update: they're coming along nicely though some of them are still wrapped in wool and I've banded the roots of some of them as the roots are a tad loose. I guess only time will tell. I've decided to leave my top layer of hair loose as I think it suits my face better and still allows me to do other things with my hair. Perhaps I'll dread the whole of it in the future, we shall see.


Ross did my hair for me yesterday before we went on our walk, it turned out really pretty don't you think? I might have to enlist his help with my hair more often. 

Here's the Beatles:



Because I've had this in my head all day.

Feeling Dreadful.

I cant believe it's only Tuesday. I just want to crawl back into bed and sleep for 50 years then wake up and wonder why I have a beard and wrinkles. I imagine my hair would be down to my feet by then, as it grows at such a ridiculous rate, and I would dust the floor with my long locks as I walked. Hey, It would save me hoovering all the time. I realise I'm rambling now. Sorry.

Here is an outfit I wore last week but didn't have time to post unfortunately. I love the colour of this top which looks rather brown in these photos but IRL it's actually quite plum-y. The skirt I'm wearing was a spontaneous buy from The October Union as it was on sale for five dollars. You can see me wearing it in this post too. 

Skirt: The October Union
Top: Primark


Elephant Necklace: Ebay
Cross Necklace: Ebay
Ring: Ebay
Owl Necklace: Present from Ross


What is it with me and pirate faces, eh? Anyway, as you can see I decided to make myself an experimental dread, although I'm lacking in a crochet hook and so I have a lot of loose hair at the moment. I am planning on taking it out for my prom (thanks to this video I realised I wouldn't need to shave my head) as I would like to look elegant, lol, before I head off to uni and become a full time scruff.

Right, I'm going to curl up with a hot water bottle as my stomach is killing me, watch youtube videos on how to make my dread look less shit and read my friends Nanowrimo from last year all washed down with a cup of tea.


Because Amelie is a cracking film. 

Also, anyone out there who has dreadlocks and could help out a failing novice?
