purchases and whatnot

this is going to be mostly image-based, as a warning.

so last night as i was waiting for justin to turn up and have drinks with me i did a spot of shopping in wanchai's various cheap shoe shops and chain stores. i didn't photograph everything i bought; i bought two pairs of sheer patterned tights, lace pop socks, a black h&m skirt and underwear that i couldn't be bothered to take decent photos of...i'm lazy on holiday.

what i wore to go out.

H&M olive green button-up top

H&M black shirt

TOPSHOP diamante studded shorts

CONVERSE black sneakers

silver smiley face ring & black multi-loop ring

papa cheung took me to page one and i got these three; i'm saving the stephen king for when i've finished reading all the books in my dad's house.

red, blue and green tie-dye maxi dress from maple. i've been looking for a vest-top kind of maxi dress, as all the ones i have are strappy.

silver stackable rings, h&m

revlon nail polishes; 917 plum seduction & 791 midnight affair

pastel sharpiessssss

bought some today and proceeded to colour in the roses on the peach/cream tights from topshop. two on the top of my thigh and one on the bottom of my foot. i didn't want to do the whole pair of tights so i figured i'd do it in a more subtle area.

revision is consuming me

nail polish.

these are all the nail polishes i own. i have about twenty others but they're those really odd ones that come out of those debenhams make-up kits and they're all varying shades of shimmer. unwearable on their own, but helpful when layering and whatnot.

due to the tube strike i'm not going to central london to fight though sale racks. i'm also unable to shop online as my cheques haven't cleared. i'm settling for chilling out in bed and possibly doing revision. i thought i'd do a post on my nail polish collection today. it's a decent size, although lacking in some colour areas. and i've been meaning to buy some cosmetic glitter for crazy nail art. did a gradient manicure earlier with some of the pinks and the reds.


black lipstick, barry m. it's tricky to do, but i think i managed it. for non-costume purposes, i'll probably wear this layered with red or pink, and gloss. i'd like to wear it on a daily basis but it would end up all over the place after lunch.. and i don't intend to sacrifice lunch to wear black lipstick.

just a couple of things.

1. the aldo shoes from asos arrived a few days ago. they're crazy high, but the wedge helps. i like them best with bare feet, and therefore legs, but it's too cold for that. tights aren't really an option since they make me slip out of the shoe. which is of course extremely annoying. i have a month to think about it, and even after i can sell them on ebay if it doesn't work out. but i love them too much. ignore my pastel socks, my feet were cold.

christmas pre-sale at debenhams, so i picked up a couple of things.

2. i made a necklace with a spare chain and all my old single earrings from claire's accesories. the tights are from the sale; black floral from miss selfridge, peach lace from topshop.

3. the skull ring was actually a two-finger ring with three skulls, but it broke... still wearable though, so no biggie. my left index nail snapped so now it looks silly :(

4. two necklaces from miss selfridge that i liked. the chains are superrrr long though, navel-length, which could become annoying. the leaf ring is from topshop, an adjustable two-finger ring, and the black sapphire and diamond ring is from forever ago in thailand.

5. this morning i got my mother to drop me off at debenhams at about 9 so i could get at the sale stuff before everyone else XD the corset was £15, and has detachable straps. the blue jumper was £10, and it's quite warm even though it's not chunky. perhaps the wool content is helpful.

6. i wanted to buy this but there's only £15 available in my account and it was £25, plus i'm seeing little fockers tonight with george and terence. it's silk, which meant it felt lovely, and it has a really casual luxurious vibe. once my cheques clear i'm going to see if it's still there, but i highly highly doubt it. it'll probably be gone by the end of the day. :(

christmas is tomorrow and i haven't a stitch to wear ;)

edit://

I GOT THE BLOUSE! yay.

more shiny new stuff.

things i bought at debenhams;

henry holland playsuit, £10 sale.



topshop sunglasses, £15.



two sets of rings, topshop, £5 per trio.



t-b; pearl and gold ring, black and grey portraiture ring, black rose ring


l-r; owl ring, Love ring [topshop], gold and silver bands [topshop] and my sapphire and diamond ring from thailand which is probably the most expensive thing i own.

doubletone tights, topshop, £4 sale.



i'm having a ring thing right now. was going to buy a blue dress like the playsuit but decided against it. also wanted marl trackies from topshop but they're kind of a maybe. mmm i'm chilled atm. got some maths homework to do but i'm still chilllll. life is nice.

meadham kirchhoff

kind of underwhelmed by the meadham kirchhoff for topshop. i like this dress, not that it would look right on me. i just really like the detailing, and the sheer parts. mmmm.
