IT WAS BEFORE YOUR TIME

Today was just kind of a lazy day on the boat and swimming around. So lazy day = BLEH outfit, whatevs.... I'm kind of obsessed with this shirt at the moment, and tried tucking it in to all my denim shorts but none of them were high waisted enough. So I ended up just wearing this kind of gym shorts I got a few weeks ago, they have a string so i just tied it into a little bow. A bit embarrassing though, the shorts were so short that a little bit of the shirt was poking out :s I just wore it around the house though, so s'all gooooood. anyways, bleh bleh bleh.

shirt, thrifted; shorts, Topshop; necklace, F21

(love the expression on my face BTW, the pout returns! :P)

While my sisters and I were out today, one of my sister's (ladyjadey) sunglasses lens literally popped out while she was wearing them! wie-uuuuurd if you ask me... So being the wierd hoarder I am I asked for them and popped the other one out. To add to my len-less frames collection, (I always wear them with outfits but then chicken out as soon as I leave the house :s)

Altogether Professor Trewlawney-ish if you ask me.. but, who's askin?

NEW EPISODE OF TRUE BLOOD!

SO EXCITED I ACTUALLY MAY SPAZZ OUT RIGHT NOW!!!

(BRB I'M SPAZZING AT THE MO....)

I'm watching it as soon as I'm finished this blog, so stop holding me up, jeesh!

On an ending note, I painted my nails silver, love ittt! My mother does not approve though...

This next pose is partly to pay homage to me and my sisters having a pose off today to vogue, also to pay homage to my silver nail polish (so shiny, oooh)

Anyways this has been a long and boring post, so here's a little party for you...

NEED/WANT/MUST-HAVE

Was just flipping through my backlog of NYLONs, you know... cos I'm just that cooooool, and I came across these beauties in one of their editorials.

I've kind of been lusting after the white AirWares for a while. I've just always been to lazy to actually save up for them, but I think I might actually make the effort to save up for these ones. I love the colour of them, the pink is like a ballet shoe, but it's still tough cos they're doc martens duhhh, bit of an ol' fashion antithesis, you know, inject a bit of irony into my wardrobe (a bit like my socks and sandals look; don't worry, I'll eventually come around to telling that story...)

Other shoes I've been begging for...

London Underground winklepickers

(am I being immature if that word makes me laugh?... nah...)

On another note, my sister reminded me of this song today, made me lol. Also got ridiculously stuck in my head and somehow led me to watching youtube videos of the fifth element (the bit where the blue alien chick sings... ozzley) for a good hour... oooops...

CAPTAIN KURT

Recently I've just been really drawn to dressing like I haven't washed or shopped in years, kind of like rPatz I guess... so though it may look like I'm trying to dress like your typical scenester/grime kid, I'm actually being kind of inspired from the era of my birth, the 90s, LOL. Grunge is kind of taking over my style at the moment (much to the dismay of my family) and I'm kind of digging a Kurt Cobain look...

rockin' the flannel. Quite literally... "rockin" the flannel.

So I got a new lace tank top, and I've been playing around with layering it, so I got this CRAAAAZY idea, why not put it over a sleeved tee? hmmmm... so I tried. It still looked a bit odd, so I tied it at the waist (like, typical train of thought, no?) and I kind of digged its belt effect.

My Mum said I looked like a hooker wearing a lace bra over a t-shirt, but I guess that's kind of it's charm, yeah? right....

It gets better though....

I've also been going through this weird phase of tying my flannel shirts at my waist (if that doesn't scream grunge, I dunno what does...) yeah this is the phase that came directly after my socks and sandals phase, but that's another story...

It drapes really cool, like what I'd imagine a grunge super-hero to wear, armed only with their rock axe (guitar ozzley) and quick tongued wit...

Much to my annoyance though when I was looking for pictures of Kurt Cobain wearing flannel, this obscenity came up

DAMN YOU MK! CAN'T YOU JUST EVER HAVE ONE OFF DAY?! >:(

I think it looks better this way though.

the layering continued to evolve to a leather jacket (why can't it be fall yet, argh!)

and then I think I was finally satisfied with the outfit. yessss.

shirt and jacket, thrifted; I heart NY tee shirt, stall; lace tank top, F21; shorts (cut-off skinnies), Lux from UO; sunglasses, RayBan Wayfarers; lipstick, MAC; moccasins, xhiliration at Target.

P.S. Yes, there was a bowling pin behind me in my room

P.P.S. LOL

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.

picture imnotobsessed

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...

MK 4EVA

NiftyThriftyFifty.

Some good mall sales, and a scour in Goodwill have left me very pleased.

shirt thrifted; necklace F21

I just wish it wasn't so hot here, I need an excuse to wear my new American Eagle tie dye scarf. Kind of a simple outfit but you can't see my shoe boots and high wasted skinnies. Just a nice comfortable outfit, yummm. Do excuse shitty webcam avec another shitty background. I can definitely see myself constantly wearing this in the coming Irish winter...

So long, so warm... SO CHEAP.

STREET ATTITUDE

These awesome candies in France had tattoos on the backside of the wrapper, no need for water, just ready for instant stickin'. They were really random, some were in Japanese, and the rest were like weird ghetto sayings made accessible for small children. Yeah, anyway they were called Malabar and I am definitely planning on buying a bag of them next time I'm in France.

I think Fiona looked pretty amazing with her 'rock' tattoo.

Remember folks, STREET ATTITUDE.

heavy weight

I don't know why but lately it's kind of been my (pathetic) obsession to find like loads of different cool bracelets, and just build up a bunch of metal bracelets that I can wear with annnnnything. I was looking out for any goth bracelets, keeping in mind pretty much every amazing burberry bracelet that's been made. SRSLY Burberry's jewelry is alwa

ys just so cool... anyways...

So yeah, I was recently in St Tropez, and I went to the market, there's always these amazing/tacky/crazy stalls selling loads of jewelry and I managed to find this massive chain for 5 euro, have to say, I was pretty pleased with myself with that find. I also got this simple black one with a gold peace sign (happened to be a tad more expensive :s). 

Here's the finished product, I'm pretty happy with my collection (albeit it's weight)

watch swatch, gold studded bracelet UO, other bracelets market finds
