I'm feeling grunge at the moment...

This is gonna be short today as I've been busy painting, drawing, cutting and sticking for my art, and I'm ment to have already gone out. I guess I'm becoming addicted to the blogging lark. Anyway I'm very much in the mood for tartan and Doc Martens, so will be belining for any such items come pay day.

Also, I've heard that Bourjois has a tint pen for lips coming out, so that's making me very giddy ^^

feeling girly

I came across all girly today. My inner child was screaming out to play in the sun in a pretty frock and i just couldn't argue. I rummaged through my wardrobe to find one of my first ever vintage dresses. It's bright, happy, floral, pleated and has bows on the shoulders. It made my inner child very happy. To stop myself looking completely Stepford i put a little bow tie on a necklace and teamed it with socks and (yes, i'm wearing them again) my sandals.

Happy with my pretty dress, me and my boyfriend headed out to get a few bits and bobs done and have a walk in the lovely weather. We packed a picnic, which was lovely (though a little warm by the time we sat down to eat it) and wondered around the beautiful Victoria park, which is full of very pretty flower displays. We also headed up to the Ilkeston musuem, as i haven't been in years, but, alas, they were closing as we got there. Instead we walked through the grounds and took pictures. I tried to take nicer pictures this time. There are no animal masks, but there are lots of flowers and trees and pretty things.

I hope you enjoy them (:

On another note, I've added links to my blog. I hope noone minds. There are alot more blogs I have enjoyed reading, but can't remember the addresses, so if you read this, say hello and I'll take a look at your page.

working on the sabbath

Sundays used to mean staying in for family dinners and going to mass, but for us modern-ista's it seems to mean work. At least for me. Why shop on Sunday? Really. You couldn't pop out anyother day- no? Ah well, i suppose it's for the money. (But who buys a coat in weather like this?!).

I work in Select. For those of you who don't know what this is (many i assume as 1. it's only in England, and 2. if your fashionable, odds are you don't shop there) it's a cheap high street store aimed at the 'chav' end of the market, and us happy Select-ors get to wear ALL Select as our uniforms. Yay!

Hence the outfit. I don't look too happy either. I had just got home from work. And we don't have air con (grr). Though I am wearing my new sandals, so that makes me a little happier.

And, ok, I know the Sabbath isn't a Sunday, but I'm RC, it's our day of rest.

I'm craving animal masks at the mo...

I don't know why. I was thinking I could use them in a photo shoot, though I haven't been getting much photography done recently, but perhaps that's just my excuse for wanting them as i know very well I will never wear them out. Maybe it could help me with this whole picture thing, i feel so silly standing in front of the camera, I don't know where to look or how to stand. Maybe i could go al private eye and disguise my face. And my outfits never seem to look as nice in the pictures: note to self- must create nicer photos/images. I never seem to have my camera on me at the right time, and like i said, i feel silly posing. Oh well, I'll have to come up with something...

First blog

what I wore today
my new dress
How adorable are these tags?!

This is my first blog. It's exciting and daunting. Maybe in a years time i'll look back at my illiteracy and clothes and wonder "What was I thinking?". I apologise in advance if my links don't work and for anything else I get wrong. So i hope anyone that reads this enjoys it and please say hi, i'm friendly (honest).

It was such beautiful weather yesterday and me and my boyfriend had planned on a nosy around the vintage shops in Notts. However we slept in and decided on a mini rummage through our local charity shops instead- and I was so glad we did!It was as though fate had made us forget to set our alarm! Within 20 minutes I had picked up 2 pairs of shoes, a skirt, a bag and a denim jacket and my boyfriend had snapped up an amazing pair of brown leather oxfords!

The shoes are above.I think the first pair are going to become my summer staple, they just seem to go with everything in my wardrobe!

The second pair will be better for cooler days, so i'll be breaking them out in autumn (:

It was hot again today so i wanted strappy and flow-y: The skirt is the one i brought yesterday, i have this predisposition were i just HAVE to wear something i have bought as soon as possible, and it was ideal for todays heat.

I have mountains of work to do in preparation for beginning my art foundation course so i've been working hard getting some done, and so i needed something comfy too.

I was also very excited today as my sally jane vintage dress arrived :D

I'll be wearing it tonight for when me and my boyfriend go out for a meal.

Hopefully I'll soon be able to fanthom how to incoorporate images into the text- if you could give me any help it would be much appreciated!
