RIP ME TO SHREDS

As I have already committed the crime of cliched blogger posts (I.E. shitty photo booth pictures, 'DIY' balmain jeans tutorial etc. etc.) I feel it's necessary to commit to the cause...
I got my shirt at Target. It's a 'tissue tee' which I think makes it easier to shred like this, I didn't shred it the whole way, just half-way down, and only on the back. I think I'll get the white long sleeve version of it and do the whole back of that one. Anyways, I'm sure there's an abundance of DIY how-to's on basically every single fashion blog out there, but to make a nice short and sweet one.

1. cut a hole (whatever size)
2. pull on the 'ladder' that will form to whatever length/extent desired.

The more important thing in doing this though, is not how you do it, but what t-shirt you're doing it to, I find that it's easier to do if the cotton is fairly stretchy, and relatively thin, I have wasted a lot of money on plain thick cotton t-shirts only for it not to work.

Anyways, got the new CoverGirl 'Lipstain' basically as soon as I got back to America. Got it in a dark berry colour, turns out more of a red though. I was a bit disappointed with it though, it was less of a stain and less watery than I expected, and more of an actual lipstick, it does last for a ridiculously long time though, so all is not lost...

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...

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!

BRB; HAVING A KSTEW HAIR MOMENT

I've been trying to grow out a middle parting (much to the distaste of pretty much everyone I know) in the attempt to eventually have luscious, long, brown, middle parted hair. So far not looking so great considering my hair is Splitzville, USA. ANYWAY... it's at a really awkward length right now and I've kind of been subconsciously messing with it, resulting in a KSTEW situation, which does not look all that great...
(I apologize for the obligatory pout)

If you've watched any interviews of Kirsten Stewart on youtube, it's pretty much impossible to not pick up on her constant head scratching and changing her parting every ten seconds, and if you know me you've probs seen my imitation of KSTEW like a zzzzzillion times, involving too much blinking and slowly brushing hair back with a claw hand, don't get me wrong, KSTEW can act/blink as much as the next professional teen actress. Behind all the mocking, I secretly love her....

BUTTT She recently cut her hair for the new Runaways movie that's filming. She's playing Joan Jett, and had to get the haircut to match; DO NOT WANT.
gossipteen (<- lol)

aaaand these photos from the recent Comic Con in San Diego, do not do anything for her... I think she came straight from shooting though, or I hope so, it's the only excuse for looking like that...
YO KSTEW!!! YOUR HAIR = DO NOT WANT, PLZ.

think. wink. peace. pout.

It has come to my attention that I have recently (more like ever since pictures have been taken of me) become a victim of an all-too-embarrassing pout. For reference, see pictures from my last blog. I can honestly say I do this subconsciously, I'm pretty sure it just evolved from me trying to smile with my mouth shut because I was super self-conscious of my teeth when I was smaller. The famous case is at a line up for a photo at a party, and my so-called "friends" screams at me to "stop fucking poutingggg!" and my comeback to this is the ever original, "I'M NOT POUTING THAT'S A SMILE..... I think....." But I have finally admitted to my denial, and realized, I am an unapologetic pouter/poser.

But in times of trouble (I need to pick a new default pose now ahhhhhhhh! jokes bruv) I always look to my inspiration for a pout that borderlines on cute, embarassing, mysterious...
who else? MK Olsen, ozzley.

Just as I idolize Zooey Deschanel for possibly the coolest hair ever, I think 'lil MK would have to win in the pouting stakes, how does she pull it off?!

But now, what will me default pose be....
perhaps a faux pas Lyndsay pose..?
nah... the peace sign only belongs to..

A) Models in ID.
B) Hippies from the ACTUAL era of hippies (now grown up either in the form of top businessmen, my father, or both).

or c, my fave..

C) MILEY CYRUS BITCHES!
Who usually attempts both the peace sign and pout simultaneously, still never beats MK though. When I google "Miley Cyrus peace" I almost had too many to chose from, well; 413,000 to be exact...

House of Minty-Fresh Breath

I recently went on a trip to London, and I have to say... one of my proudest purchases cost under £4! Is it really lame that I'm super proud of owning a chewing gum holder designed by House of Holland? I don't think it is... it's really strange and random though, I mean it's great to see collaborations with designers but really... chewing gum? Henry must be pretty desperate for the moneys.


By the way, I grabbed mine in white.
