LET'S GO TO THE MALL EVERYBODY!


♪♫PUT ON YOUR JELLY BRACELETS♪♫


♪♫AND YOUR COOL GRAFFITI COAT♪♫


♪♫AT THE MALL HAVING FUN IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOOT♪♫

*Ahem* I suppose this is the part where I should explain myself. Since it's the last week and two days of school, we've been having a fancy dress week with different themes each day. Today was Superheroes/What you wanted to be when you grew up (it's pretty flexible). When I was around 6 years old I wanted to be a singer, so I put together this Robin Sparkles outfit. She's a fictional pop star from How I Met Your Mother, which I had to explain  to people a few times. However, some people did know who I was supposed to be! Two year 7s came up to me to being all "HIMYM!" Only problem is I can't let go of this outfit now and I might have to wear the jacket everyday.

If you don't watch the show, here's the clip of Robin revealing Robin Sparkles to her friends:

Off with your head!

Shirt - Primark, Skirt - Topshop, Necklace - Next

Bracelet - eBay

Happy Friday! Even though the bank holiday meant we all missed Monday my week still managed to drag on and refuse to end. Luckily it did as I was starting to become incapable of getting out of bed.

Anyway, this t-shirt has been getting compliments every time I've worn it, and every time I just say "Primark, men's section, £2". Not a bad bargain right? And I know everyone's a little sick of galaxy print now  but that doesn't mean it's stopped looking good. The shirt also has a picture of Manhattan and says NYC at the bottom which is the main reason I got it. And it was cheap. The skirt is proving itself to be a great wardrobe staple and I would wear it all the time if my capacity to get bored with things very quickly wasn't so huge. The bracelet was an eBay bargain and the ring was a gift from my friends.

I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line

Shirt - Brick Lane, Dress - Siam Square (Thailand), Necklace - Next, Watch - Swatch

Hello all! Oh and pinch, punch first day of the month etc. I'm in a very good mood after getting some good coursework grades and coming home to find Vogue waiting on the door mat. As you can see I'm pretty simple to please.
One thing that is looming is exams, however, and that means I should stop enjoying everything and devote every waking hour to revision. At least that's what school makes it seem like, I'm just sitting here happy blogging away. Although, I should probably study for that test tomorrow...

Ignoring that, this outfit is something I threw together in a rush before school one morning which turned out to be quite nice. Usually these rushes end up in me wearing something really plain or really mismatched, but this time things worked out well. I really like the layers on the skirt of the dress since it adds a nice detail. The shirt has a collar and contrasting sleeves so that automatically claims my affections. Blue on blue is a combination I've really been liking lately, partly because you can't mess it up if one blue is like denim. And forget everything you learnt in English: blue does not equal sad.

You're just a junkie craving one more plastic fix



Hey everyone! Who else is currently procrastinating?

This is what I wore to school today. They keep telling us they're going to take a class photo so I try to look nice, but then it always gets postponed! According to the laws of the universe, I'm betting it happens on the day I'm dressed like a slob.
My friend got me this shirt for my last birthday so I don't know where it's from, but it's pretty awesome. It's so comfy too I could fall asleep in it. I paired it with my bodycon skirt since I was trying to look nice for the photo that never happened. Oh well, I got a good blog post out of it!

Lyrics in title from Puzzle Pieces by Saint Motel. It's from their debut album which is definitely worth checking out.
