strawberry fields forever

I've finally broken up from school, meaning I have 2 months to relax and forget everything I learned before the exams. I've started watching Skins and its so good, I definitely recommend. I don't have much to say seeing as I haven't gone away yet, but in a week I'll be going to Cornwall and then Italy and France later on which is exciting
 

I watched Donnie Darko a few months ago now, but after rewatching it I developed a massive girl crush on Gretchen Ross, the character who plays Donnie's girlfriend. She's so pretty and I love her although she has a hideous name- dem eyebrows guyss

      

I bought some Levi shorts from Rokit in Camden yesterday and theyre awesomee, 
outfit of the day: 
Tracey Emin top, Rokit shorts, Liberty/Nike airwalks and Brick Lane sunglasses

I really hope this will be a good summer, because it's my last proper holiday before all my GCSE's and other exams start next year which I can't even think about rn, so I'm going to go and sunbathe now, this is me and my awesome friend Tom yesterday:

some weekend pictures

Last weekend in photos/drawings/collages:

I went for a walk up Camden canal with my dog and picked flowers and did art homework and collages because #nosociallife but it was sunny and cute:

anticipation for an upcoming post: Tracey Emin

the smiths and prozac nation

So this April, after reading Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, I've been listening to Nirvana and The Smiths a lot and feeling that whole vibe (don't hate me for using the word 'vibe'?).. I mean that kindof 80s grungey, melancholy style that goes with old bunches of flowers and denim jackets with scuffed black matte Doc Martens and Velvet Underground vinyls with a bit of angst, and Ian Curtis from Joy Division's voice singing in the background.. Like that photo shoot of The Smiths walking round those abandoned gas works with Morrissey holding a handful of daffodils? It's hard to explain.. But I hope these photos sort of sum it up?

Also I hope this playlist sums all that up, I feel they all fit together:

80s sadness 

I tried to channel this in a casual outfit today:

                                           

Clothes: top from eBay, doc martens are borrowed from my mum, jacket from a stall in Portobello Market, and jeans are from a vintage shop in Brick Lane (also the flag in the background of the first picture is from a junk shop).
