Genie.

 Hello everyone. I would apologize for my absence but that would be boring and lets face it no one likes a groveler. So lets dive straight in eh?

I've been pretty busy these past few days stripping wall paper, going on a night out without any ID (I am 18 FYI), getting addicted to the Logosquiz app and being utterly glued to my telly thanks to the Olympics. Anyone see the mens 100 meter sprint? Cannot tell you how tense my household was, haha.

 Top: Very Old 

Shorts: Newlook

Belt: Vintage

Vest: Mothers

I had Ross stay over for a few days which was lovely as he's gone and got himself a full time job starting next week or so, meaning I wont be able to see him much before we both head off to that place called university. Don't get me wrong I'm really looking forward to venturing off into the big wide world I just hope we manage to see each other along the way.

Right. Clothes. Can we take a moment to appreciate how amazing this vest/waistcoat is? This wonderful thing was once my mum's and now has pride of place in my wardrobe. I've had it for a while and used to throw it over everything yet for some unknown reason it's gotten buried underneath my ever expanding clothes collection. So I thought it was high time I gave this guy some attention. It makes me feel a little like a genie.
 

I paired the vest with a floral top that I've had for literally years, hence the sliver of belly, and I really like the way these two items go together. The vest just makes a rather cute but boring outfit all the more interesting.

 I also decided to finally jump on the bring-back-side-ponys band wagon driven by Chloe. I didn't initially think it would work with my dreads but I reckon it turned out pretty good despite having to tuck in a few lumps and bumps, haha. 

That's it from me I reckon. Just a big thank you to everyone who reads, comments and follows this little blog of mine, it really makes my day.


Here you go:

Because I absolutely love this song.

Lumberjack.

Hello everyone. Sorry It's been a while but I honestly haven't been wearing anything worth documenting of late. Need to get my arse in gear.

Moving on, here is what I wore today, and as you can see I am sporting a rather dashing checked shirt which my brother got me for Christmas from a charity shop. He's learning well. I decided to keep the rest of the outfit simple by teaming the shirt with a plain white T-shirt and denim shorts for an easy casual look.

 Shirt: Charity Shop

T-shirt: Stolen from friend

Denim Shorts: DIY

Big Elephant Necklace: Ebay

Little Elephant Necklace: Mum's

Long Red Necklace: DIY

*Yet another pirate pose for your entertainment*

Not sure If you can really see it or not (note to self: take detail shots) but I made the red necklace myself using a broken keyring my boyfriend got back from Turkey and some red cotton. Now let me tell you plaiting that red cotton together was the worst idea I have ever had, took blooming ages. So I've decided to order some leather cord off Ebay when my funds allow it so I can have a go at making my own jewelery and sharing it with all of you, of course. So watch this space.

Also, my yoga DVD came in the post, woo!

Because my friend said Frank Turner was a babe, and I couldn't agree more.
