Because I live in England and don't go to a fictional American high school in the 1980s, I have never and will never go to a prom, so I viciously live through American 1970s-80s movies and Rookie's 'Strange Magic' installation. Above is my inspiration collected around the theme of proms and that glittery teenaged thing, u know... majorly inspired by the Virgin Suicides and Jawbreaker and you know what I'm talking about anyway (I hope).

I just haven't done a mood board sort of thing in a while and all these photos seemed to fit together- The title of this post is a lyric from a Bleached song. Forget Haim, Bleached are a super cool duo girl band from LA who make rad punkish music slightly similar to Hole and The Primitives. 
              

Best songs are: Dead in Your Head

I have mocks tomorrow and haven't revised at all for half my subjects. This holiday I've mainly been revising and stuck inside because of the rain, so nothing much has happened except I am now a regular contributor to the Wandering Collective, an online publication thing and it's super cute so have a look here.

The maddest thing happened to me while I was in the east end thrift store the other day buying clothes, I found the exact same jacket that I had almost bought about a year ago on the Portobello Rd. It had the same small rip in the lining so I knew it was the same and this time I bought it omg how weird? It's so pretty and has a sequin detail on the back- I'm in love.
Here are some photos I took of my bedroom a few mornings ago, and my favourite Christmas presents. I got the Rookie Yearbook 2 which is so so beautiful and some other books and dvds and TAROT CARDS which are the best and remind me of that My So Called Life episode where Rayanne's mother teaches Angela how to use them. I also got super pretty glitter nail polish, a cute little kaleidoscope and a palmistry book so I can master the mysterious arts and become Mrs Trelawney and tell ur future. 
I also added to my shrine and melted down all the candles around it so everything is stuck in the wax, and I stuck up all my posters and photos on my wall (finally).

My new years resolution to stay of the computer is really going well (pls recognise my sarcasm) -Bye from Daria x

Sharing with The Lisbon Girls

In France during Summer, we stayed with a family who had rented an old house in a small French village surrounded by hills. These are some photos I took of my bedroom, with only a blue tint added. They remind me a lot of The Lisbon Girls' bedrooms in The Virgin Suicides, especially with all the small religious items and the lace and bare walls. It was quite creepy sleeping there on the first night because I had just finished reading the book (of The Virgin Suicides) and if you have seen or read it, you know it doesn't end very happily. But it was really pretty in the mornings when the light shone through the lace round the bed and the whole room was a really bright white, so here are my photos:

 

     

A/W13 inspiration

Inspiration for the Autumny/back to school vibe for drawings I might do soon- I'm back at school now which is awfulll because I get so much homework, (hope all you kids can relate)- so basically, what with GCSEs and all I might not be as sincere to my blog as I was in summer. Sorrehhh. </3

Pretty sure I wont be disappointing a lot of you seeing as not many people read this blawg but oh well..

I just discovered Freaks & Geeks- the 90s tv show about an American high school and the Weir family, but it's so unfair that there's only one series and now my unstable and rapid addiction to this show cannot be quenched because I finished the entire series last night. #TVjunkie #helpme

Hope y'all have a good start to school (if that's possible) (its not) and please keep an eye out in one of my next posts for when my summer disposables get developed..

bye kids, stay safe ♡

bedroom inspiration

So due to my lack of creativity and imagination, I failed to think of a good idea for something to blog about, so here it is, you are being presented with my bedroom. Sorry. Because of all my school work and stuff and the fact I never leave it, it is a total mess. Therefore I have tried to photograph small parts of it that may give you an idea of what it's like. The wall collage is one of my favourite things because it permits me to gaze into Morrissey and Sky Ferreira's faces every time I wake up. So here it is..

 i collect matches/lighters

favourite CDs: (downwards) alt J - An Awesome Wave, Arcade Fire - The Suburbs, Crystal Castles - (III), Echo and the Bunnymen - Best of

Everyone has a dream bedroom, and you've heard me raving about Submarine in one of my last posts.. Oliver Tate, the protagonist of the film's room, happens to be perfect. His type-writer, the clouds painted on his wall, the postcards and posters plastered all over the walls and the attic slanted ceiling all made me fall in love with it. If anyone else has a dream room based on some movie/book/theme comment on this post?

And now because you're all definitely sick of hearing me talk about Submarine, here's more of my room inspiration:

okay we can all safely admit we all want the bedroom from Princess Diaries

The Virgin Suicides

500 Days of Summer (chalkboard wall)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Pretty in Pink

The last few are all from tumblr

Now that I've actually written it all down, I realize that most of my favourite bedrooms are from 80s movies.. Anyway, sorry for the picture-heavy post, I'll try to do more fashion/writing next time.
