And although I'm sure you don't want to hear them, here are my 7 facts:

I have a dog called Bunny.

I live in London and I intend to live there all my life.

I don't think I could live without tea.

I drew alt-J's album cover for their Mathilda EP.

I have an obsession with Morrissey, Peace and Joy Division.

If I could look like anyone in the world, I'd probably want to look like Sky Ferreira.

Submarine is my favourite film ever.

british weather and preparation for summer

My new thing to do when I'm bored is just make up outfits I'm going to wear in summer, so  here's one of them, with me looking deathly pale as usual *sigh*:

Clothes: t shirt from Latitude festival 2012, skirt is Rachel Riley vintage, shoes are white canvas converse.

Over in England, if you don't live here, you won't know that we have all become grey and ill from lack of sunlight, and recently we have finally actually got some sun, so everyone is madly celebrating and going outside in shorts when its only about 12 degrees. Therefore I made a playlist to celebrate the occasion, because we're very serious about weather here in Britain.

So a thing you may have learned about me by now, is that I spend WAYY to much time on the computer. Im serious guys I literally never leave my room, and whenever I look away from my computer I get seriously dizzy and little stars pop up in front of my eyes. Okay maybe it's not that serious, but to sever the close relationship I have with my computer, I decided to do more drawing/writing on paper.. 

I drew this, based on the anonymous poem 'Tea for Two' because I think it pretty much sums up Britain, what with the tea, and the rain *sigh*.

casual outfit of the day: all in blue

Short post today just on my all-blue outfit of the day. It is the last day of the holidays so I'm devoting the day to just crying in my room and trying to ignore the pile of homework in the corner. Well thanks for reading, and hope you've all enjoyed the holidays..(please ignore my embarrassing poses, and my dog)

Clothes: chain necklace- car boot sale, jacket- vintage, t shirt- eBay, jeans-Leigh Topshop, shoes- Nike/Liberty

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?

Credit: (going down) Joy Divison - Control, Nirvana, my photo: Smiths vinyl, Prozac Nation and Polaroid 500, Jeremy Deller(twice), and The Smiths

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).
