✧ Feeling Festive DIY ✧

FESTIVE MORRISSEY DECORATIONS - The obvious way forward, to achieve festive cheer this year. Get out the glitter and print off a picture, (I tinted them pink on my computer's photo editing software) and stick them round your house to add some Christmassy cheer. 

*cringe* lol but trust they look really cool espesh the glittery eyebrows. Obviously it doesn't have to be Morrissey but come on, I recently discovered he lived NOT TEN DOORS AWAY FROM ME towards the end of his life with the Smiths, how amazing is that? I went and stood outside his former home to gaze in awe at the windows he once looked through, the doorstep his lovely feet once stood upon ok I know this is creepy but he is someone to be adored, he encourages it. fun for all the family. 

Place your new favourite decoration on top of your Christmas tree because he's an angel. Much love ♡ 

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 ♡

stealing my mum's clothes

I was bored on the weekend, so I got out a box of my mum's old clothes from her 'rebel teen years' (as she claims) and looked through it to see if there was anything I could salvage. I found one thing: a wool-mix L'Anarchie t-shirt which goes with practically ALL my favourite outfits! I can roll the sleeves up so it looks like a short sleeved top on hot days and roll them down for winter and it's just the type of thing I've been looking for.. #perfectfind

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).
