Metal heart




For some reason I haven't been on bloglovin' for a while. I have just gone through about 100 new posts and my eyes are hurting. Completely ridiculous.

The greatest






Her music makes me want to take over the world.

NB Her version of jane birkin and serge gainsbourg's je t'aime is quite the clumsy joy when translated to english.

I love you me either






Blurry documentation of my travles in manchester. New cities are always just a haze of walls and sky to me, but it was nice.

Walking the starry lit streets looking touristy with camera in hand was not nearly as tough on the feet this time. Soft shoes win.

Pics taken by me. Ne touche pas.

Long







Today I visited London for a live art lecture day at UCL where a bunch of artists told us about their creative processes. A lot of good tips for me. Through this I found out about an intruiging New York based artist named Stefan Sagmeister (above).

The city was soooo lovely. Especially just as it was getting dark, all the lights coming on walking through the streets with my scarf up to my nose and my hat close to it as well.

I bought the loveliest shoes a couple days before, my favourite shoes have been chewed by our puppy, and the rest are trainers, so they were needed.

Unfortunately by the end of the day I was so crippled by blisters I was actually limping. I had to ask for the first aid kit at the university and then buy more. I was walking pretty stupidly on my tube travels. I either looked a bit disabled or really really sexy.

No pictures, because you all know what London looks like. But this is truly the best time of year to be there.

Manchester on Wednesday for an open day, maybe then some pictures.

A call to apathy






The beautiful ethereal photography of Ali Scarpulla.

On a side note, I seem to have developed a weakness for anything with an exposed zip. Thanks Alex Wang, you shit. Maybe you will see my planned purchase soon.

Justa great picture

A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop

The cat didn't really like her but I think she looks pretty good.


My friend 'styled' by me. This was fun because she is usually very arty and colourful, so I put her in a black skirt you can't see and soft white shirt. With classic glasses.

Chocolate, dress up and Top Secret. Happy friday.

It makes me so happy to realise that my hectic a-level work schedule includes sitting on my bed til past midnight writing an essay on Alexander Wang.

Handy andy

cutoff jeans, tanks, tees shredded, everything studded. Tie dye, tie bleach. And beads, sequins, buttons should quench my thirst for embelishment. Now to find somewhere to buy them ...

I got knits




I'm a girl who dreams of a life of work and success and independance, surrounded by intelligent people and red wine and libraries. But sometimes I just wish I could knit.

In deepest winter

I just recently bought January UK Vogue ... it's fantastic. The first editorial in particular is a feast for the eyes. Its quite fun to see how the Vogue people style the items you can remember so well from the runway shows they belong to.

One problem though, is that there is almost no consideration of what us lovely people have to go through in the cold everyday. Maybe I'm an extreme noob and Jan Vogue is really meant to show all the S/S ideas, but let's be sensible here.

I wrapped up to the extreme today. It's fun, almost like a challenge because you get to work with so many different layers & accessories and try to find a combination that will make you warm.

So basically here is my outfit theme for heading into London on Monday.







Lookbook, I think you have a stalker :).
