it's been a while

i've been rather busy at university getting drunk, writing essays and generally having an excellent time. but here are some tidbits for you all, in case you're still around :)

american apparel very briefly did this in forest, which is the colour i desperately wanted; however it sold out in record time. by the time i got to it there were only XS and S sizes left, and i'm a L in AA most of the time. i'm tempted by this blue - i'm attempting more brightness in my life.

i got this for £1 in a charity shop in falmouth; the charity shops here are absolutely incredible! there's so much houndstooth and tweed and suede and velvet it's making me cry with happiness.

l-r; skull ring, miss selfridge. blue stone ring, topshop. black sapphire and diamond ring, thailand. silver cross ring, urban outfitters. rust stone ring, my mama bought somewhere.

silver stackable initial ring; i got a v and a c.

the mandarin jacket in this was £6 from this amazing vintage shop called mondo trasho in falmouth.

i have a dentist appointment for my wisdom teeth soon, so i'll leave now. those who are still reading me, thank you for sticking around :)

things to note.

1) selling my possessions on ebay is only beneficial to my bank account if i don't spend the profits on new stuff. i made around £50 by selling various old items of clothing, and am now being led into temptation (and into the red) by a pair of dr martens. the retail price is £85, UO are selling them for £75 and i have a 20% discount code THEREFORE they are a mere £60. and i've wanted them for as long as i can remember. so i'm in a pickle. i loathe pickles.

look at them. LOOK AT THEM. christ they're beautiful.

2) it is not hard to get through my list of unseen films considering my lack of progress in the land of work. some recent views are

• due date
• whip it
• the hangover
• the 40-year-old virgin
• the da vinci code
• angels and demons
• up
• despicable me
• wall-e
• the virgin suicides
• mean girls 2 [abysmal]
• cruel intentions 2 [also abysmal]

i'm noticing a trend. sequels need to die.

3) i eat too much during half term. i also don't go to the gym in half term. conclusion; half term = weight gain and shame spiral.

4) i apparently am incapable of brushing my teeth correctly, as i have a new cavity. and a fractured tooth. how this came to be, i'm not sure - it's not like i open beer bottles with my teeth. or chew on gravel for fun. the dental hygienist - to put it lightly - raped my mouth, and there was blood all over the place.

5) i am itching for a new piercing. but i'm running out of ear space. and facial piercings will draw attention to my moon face. and i am not getting another body piercing as i would prefer for my mother not to have a heart attack/rage attack. they come hand in hand i suppose.

well that's all. i have no interesting fashion news. besides the fact that christian louboutin's spring 2011 shoe collection is so abominable that i can't even bring myself to look at pictures, much less post them.

and this is today's outfit.

jaeger blue cardigan

american apparel black u-neck dress

miss selfridge lace floral patterned tights

out of sight;

topshop gunmetal pumps

LK bennett navy & white striped cardigan

tainted obligation

i've been re-watching grey's anatomy, so all my look titles and my blog posts will be titles of episodes. which are also all song names.

today;

L K Bennett nautical striped cardigan

Lacoste polo shirt

Levi's leather belt & denim cutoffs

Urban Outfitters polka-dot tights & black lace-up shoes

i've decided I should start doing outfit posts. i have lookbook, but sometimes i feel like writing about my personal life in the box is odd. and this way i can add in other things that i've been looking at, and talk about my day. i like this idea. and i think bringing back the song lists would be nice. my mum's ill. pneumonia, or a chest infection. i don't know which, but i'm still worried.

a national acrobat; black sabbath

blue ridge mountains; fleet foxes

kelly watch the stars; air

jump; van halen

...more shopping

AA Cotton Spandex Jersey Double U-Neck Long Sleeve Mini Dress

i've already got this in black with short sleeves, but i thought i'd get another one since i love the black one so much :) also, AA sent me a 30% discount code for the new year. also, i desire the shoes the model's wearing.

UO Mini Headphone Speaker, 2 Pack Bottle Opener Rings

these were a couple of 'fun' purchases. i need both a bottle opener ring and a portable set of speakers - now it seems i have both :D

UO Sheer Dot Tights, Sparkle & Fade Lace Up Mesh Panel Dress

i've lost both my large and small polka dot tights that i got in h&m last summer somewhere in my house, so these will be my replacements. and i love them. the dress is lovelyyyy - i've wanted something with mesh for a while, and since the Rare dress from ASOS fell through, this will be my new buy. and it's cheaper by about twenty quid which is always great for me.

UO Silver Ear Chain Cuff, Black Lace Up Shoe

i like ear cuffs and since i can't afford the incredible feather ones Anni Jurgenson makes, i'll settle for this simple chain cuff. the shoes George found for me; i've needed black flats for a while. they're a 4 but hopefully they'll fit, and if not, we have shoe stretcher!

i'm not going to spend any more money. promise. -.-
