ACID WASHED HAIR

I GOT A HAIRCUT! it should be exciting except for the fact that I really had no choice, I hadn't cut my hair in a year (a whole year? SRSLY? yesss.... I'm fo realz.) my hair was all fine and dandy except for like the last two inches which looked literally like they had been set on fire. I didn't really want to get that much off, cos I was starting to like the length of my hair and my fringe that I'm trying to grow out etc. etc. She cut my fringe a bit, and now it's just back to the awkward "poke-you-in-the-eyes" length it's been for the past six months :s

At the salon, I was LOLing over how many times Taylor Momsen was in all the haircut magazines, and thinking how many people tried to copy it, turns out my haircut just looks like a bad imitation of it, but I didn't mean in to, I SWEAR. ha.

aaaaaaaaaaanyways... I've been rampaging on the DIY front recently, to get all my projects done before school starts (next week, fudruckers!). So I GOT MY PERMIT YESTERDAY (!) and as a prize for being so great/skilled etc. etc. I got a big tub of bleach, your probs thinking, waat? But I wanted to try to bleach a few plain Hanes tees I've had for ages, and then if it worked out well I'd try my black jeans.

So, I'm officially being initiated into the world of cliched bloggers. I present you my DIY jeans, but note that I keep the talk of Balmain low, ha!

Like ma shoes? Believe it or not they're American Eagle, they were on sale, I couldn't resist. I think the jeans worked really well, I might slit the knees though, or even stud a bit, like those really overdone Topshop jeans, you know the ones...? no? right, then....

topshop, durr.

I also acid-washed two t-shirts, this is the one that turned out better. I think I'll end up cutting it up to tank top or something.

I cut this long grey top as well. It's sort of a long crop top length now. I like.

Went to Target for a last minute shop before we leave for Ireland. Got a new schoolbag in the form of a really sturdy rectangular handbag. This will definitely be going under neath the stud-knife... Also got this amazing felt bowler hat with some feathers. A hat is a definite need in the Irish winter, I must protect my hair from the rain. at. all. times. I just need to figure out a way to get it to stay on in the wind, why helloooooo booby tape, ha!

I'll leave you with this little gem (err, not.) PEACE MOFOS.

FAUX FEET

I hate to be a copy cat, but when I saw these at Fur Coat, No Knickers' blog I couldn't help myself...

The String Republic

I never really like espadrilles, I think they're kind of lazy, like wearing slippers around in public (none to different from uggs... ew.) But these are amazing! Trompe l'oeil shoes, can it get any better than that! Although I don't think they'd really hold up in Dublin's rainy weather, they'd be amazing for the next last few weeks of my summer.

How many times have I said 'amazing' in this blog... hm? ooops....

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!

But Alexa Chung on the other hand, is fabulous as always. :)

CROOKED CROWN

Finally finished my driver's ed. today (thank God) so Mum and I went to the Mint Museum in Charlotte to check out this temporary exhibition, "The Art of Afluence: Haute Couture" which was basically a bunch of dresses donated, must were from the eighties so it was pretty lol-tastic to see the Versace 'night-dress' inspired gown etc. There was actually a Balenciaga suit donated by Hubert De Givenchy though, thought that was pretty cool.

The exhibition was kind of mediocre though, it was only one room and there was this lady in khaki pants explaining every outfit and why she didn't like to an eight year old, that commentary was pretty worth it. My favourite quote was, "See how the blouse has a puffed sleeve? Now I don't think that works well. Have you ever heard this phrase before? See, she's not wearing the blouse, the blouse is wearing her..." the 'her' was a headless mannequin, so I don't think it really had the emmmm, personalit

y (?) to 'wear' the clothes. I'm pretty sure this was in reference to a John Galliano white blouse.

But the best part in my opinion was the gift shop, Mom and I were trying on all these wierd half-face-masks and I was so tempted to buy loads for some photo props, ha! In the end I found this toy crown, I love it! I was wearing it all day, and it kind of got me in the mood to write a song, so now I've deemed it as my thinking cap!

Wearing it made me feel like Max from Where The Wild Things Are, now all I need is a catsuit, and not the Pam Hogg type...

I'm actually so excited for Where The Wild Things Are words cannot describe. I've watched the trailer at least five times on youtube, and once right before seeing Harry Potter 6, and every single time, I've cried. It might be because the song is Wake Up by Arcade Fire, and that's just like this unbelievable epic/euphoric song, I was trying to explain to my parents how certain songs make you feel um, 'infinite' (Perks of Being a Wallflower, duh) and they both just thought I was really inarticulate/crazy.

Anyways.... Karen O is doing the score for the entire movie as well, so it's ozzzley going to be unbelievable, also the wonderful Spike Jonze is directing it. So I think I can come to the conclusion that this is my dream movie.

That is all.
