Yeah, a run down post. Boring, I know but there’s more important things on my mind right now (namely the Tories trying to destroy everything I hold dear, thanks guys!*). Reading In Watermelon Sugar...

Hey there!

Woah, long time no blog. I’ve been busy getting myself a new job; come April I’ll be joining the commuter herds from Kent into London on a daily basis. I don’t like talking about my job too much in...

Craft as an aspirational lifestyle: the problem with Mollie Makes

Craft is awesome. I love making things and I especially love wanting something and being able to create it myself (preferably out of something I already own) or even not being able to find...

Tales From the Jazz Age

I feel like we’re going to be getting a lot of 203s/30s inspiration in fashion this year in no small part due to the upcoming Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby. I’m not complaining; it’s...

Guilty Pleasures

Like most people I know, I have a bit of an issue with the term guilty pleasures. It implies you should feel ashamed about something that makes you happy and that’s BS, quite frankly. However, I...

Minimalism

I’ve spoken before about my occasional longing to chuck my entire wardrobe and confine it to montone basics*; if I was going to do this I’d probably do it with the Costume National pre-fall...

Links round up

It’s been a while, so some of these links are a little old but I hope you enjoy them anyway! I totally didn’t realise that Barry M was an actual until this interview. Speaking of interviews in the...

Dressing up for adults

I’m often asked why I have an interest in fashion (mostly by people who maintain that they don’t). I find it offensive when it’s assumed I wouldn’t be into clothes because I’m ‘intelligent’ or...

Somewhat lacking

It’s been fairly obvious for a while that this blog isn’t a style blog but more a mish-mash of whatever’s in my head at the time. As much as I’d love to be a style blogger and my interest in...

Happy New Year!

My face, during party season January is always filled with a massive sense of optimism, isn’t it? Even though we’re all feeling terrible from eating too much over the holidays, we’re back at work...

2011: a review

2011 seems to have been a pretty terrible year for a lot of people I know, but in all honesty it was one of my best (bar some minor hiccups, but you don’t appreciate the good without the bad do...

Wishin’ and Hopin’

Ok, so despite the unexpected popularity of my post exposing the party season as the barrel of lies it really is, I’ve been really busy going to parties recently hence the drop off in posting. And...

Lady In Red

Something about the festive season (party season) makes me want to wear red. All red ensembles are probably pretty OTT for work but I’ve been getting a lot of mocking for my bright red shoes,...

Bad taste

I saw the immortal John Waters give his Christmas talk at the Southbank Centre last night and I’m just really sad for everybody that wasn’t there. If you missed out, you can read his recent...

MTV Swatch Playground: Belfast, Oh Yeah!, and goodbye

It’s time for my last post as part of my MTV Swatch Playground collaboration, which I’m pretty sad about! It’s been nice getting some music content on my blog, considering what a huge part it plays...

Mid Week Round Up

It’s been a while! I’ve had a lot of time to peruse the internet of late, being out of action first by a nasty cold and then by serious tooth pain (it’s the worst). If it wasn’t for twitter I would...

Bad Passion jewelry

The more observant amongst you may have noticed that a little advert has appeared in my side bar. I don’t want to go down the ad route really, but I’m willing to host adverts for brands I...

Missbeliever for sale!

I’ve been having a massive clearout of my life of late, inspired by a complete lack of space and a sudden realisation that clutter makes me miserable. I say sudden, it’s been all year but I’ve only...

MTV Swatch Playground: Faye Dinsmore and Vertfight

Bit of a jam packed video post today as part of my ongoing collaboration with MTV Swatch Playground. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the chosen blogger to go over and report from the MTV EMA’s but you can...

I’m Audrey Horne and I get what I want

You either love Twin Peaks, or you haven’t seen it. (cue a million commenters telling me they hate it) It’s set in the 90s but via some weird 50s suburbia and it’s a style dream. I’ve finally been...

Summer lovin’

We’re well into winter now, aren’t we, despite that heatwave at the start of October. Although winter is my favorite season (I think we can all agree that the fashion is much better) this last...

Capsule Wardrobe

Harem pants ~ black ballet pumps ~ classic trench ~ tan satchel ~ chunky sweater ~ loafers ~ motorbike jacket ~ leather shop ~ black scarf ~ pleated midi skirt ~ le pliage ~ black midi dress ~ red...

Mistletoe and Whine: the myth of the party season

All of twitter is ascribing way more meaning to a bloody red paper cup than there could ever possible be, John Lewis is trying to make us cry with nostalgia over a childhood we never had and the...

A/W 2011

Fashion is really confusing. We’ve not long been into a/w 2011 but I’ve already done fashion week for next summer & spring’s looks. It can feel like you’re constantly looking ahead rather than...

Why should I listen to you anyway? You’re a virgin who can’t drive

Stop the presses, the 90s revivial is well and truly a trend now. Fluffy crop top, £22, Topshop

Crazy

Basically, all I want from life is to be Liv Tyler in the 90s.

My wardrobe: ASOS chiffon maxi

I bought this skirt from Asos last week, envisioning it with opaques and military boots. It’s currently too small but it basically represents the pinnacle of my shallowest hopes & dreams; to get...

Unoriginal, or just uninspired?

I’ve been feeling a little bit uninspired recently, so I’ve been looking to my favorite blogs to get motivated. I thought I’d share a few of them with you. I love Harriet and Amy for the best...

Happy Halloween!

Although I never managed to get my hands on one of the Topshop skeleton onesies, I’m still feeling pretty Halloweeny. By this I mean scarily rough; it was a hardcore weekend. Please enjoy this...

Autumn

Halloween My hangover face with no fringe and no make-up, and my new h&m jumper with elbow patches
