an actual outfit post

2011-01-20T14:13:00.000-08:00

top new look, vintage belt, jeans topshop

This is my favourite 'I'm revising' outfit. Something I can wear that's comfortable but presentable enough to put my mind into 'work mode'. Ok, so I said I had some news, and that news is that after some thinking, I've decided to move over and make a new blog called 'little tilly'. Other than a blog, I'm also trying to make it a place where I can show people some of my photography. It also has a cleaner layout which I've tried to achieve for a while. I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank all of my lovely followers, visitors and commenters, you have all been so nice and I hope you will all continue to read my new blog, I don't really want to delete this blog completely just yet, so after a week or so I'll make it private. Thank you so much everybody!

I hope all you lovely readers are having a less stressful week than me. Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway as it ends in a week and tell your friends as it will get you an extra entry!

On another note, I recieved my first award from the lovely Connie. This means I have to tell you guys seven things about myself and pas this onto seven other blogs, I think. So here goes;

1. Even though I'm facsinated by style and fashion, my first love has and always will be dance. When I'm older I would like to work as a proffesional dancer.

2. My favourite place in the world is New York. I've been there twice already but hope to go again and again at some point.

3. My favourite food is sushi

4. At the moment I'm watching Somewhere, I'm only ten minutes in but it's pretty good.

5. This year I'll be taking my GCSEs, my options are PE, History, French, Drama and Art. For A Level I'm hoping to take Maths, English Language, Dance and Photography.

6. I still own and play a gameboy advance

7. I can't think of anything else to say :)

So there you go, I hope I haven't bored you too much. I pass this onto circus box, its cohen, its fashion damnit, oh-emma, painting the roses black and two breads please

top h&m, skirt AA, vintage belt and jewellery

Yes I've found my camera cable! After about two days of tidying my room it finally turned up, now I have a huge back-log of outfits to show but I'll start with the most recent. I wore this yesterday as the skirt was new. I love this skirt so much much as it's unlike anything else in my wardrobe, and despite my short height it doesn't look weird, bonus! I can't wait until 2011, hopefully I'll be having a few new starts which is exciting and of course carrying on with the blog. I've decided to put my email address in the side bar, so if anyone wants to contact me they can. Giveaway soon! xx

presents

2010-12-27T06:50:00.000-08:00

skirt AA, chloe perfume, polaroid film, nail polish, watch UO, luella book, vogue book, photography book

these were some of my presents, I was a very lucky girl this year. I also got a ticket to Hop Farm Festival for next summer which is good, now my friends have to get tickets. Christmas was very nice this year, I spent it with my favourite cousins and ate my body-weight in chocolate. I got a few vouchers too, so lots of shopping ahead!

mistletoe and wine

2010-12-20T09:52:00.000-08:00

blackberry, marc jacobs daisy, monki t shirt, american apparel skirt, disposable camera, PS1 bag, Christopher Kane Skirt, Carin Wester Wedges, TBA Dress, Acne Skirt

Christmas soon! As my camera cable is still not exactly found I've made a wishlist. I didn't really ask for anything for christmas which makes creating a wishlist quite difficult. Instead I've made a little collage of what I'm planning to buy with my christmas money. I love the t shirt from monki, it's called 'Emma', I think it's fate! I would love another bottle of daisy, I've had one for the last birthday and christmas, the pop art edition would be so cool. Note the very small blackberry in the corner, I don't really want it but I think a phone is needed as my current 4 year old thing has decided to no longer send texts to some of my friends, or receive them from potential babysitting jobs!

I can only dream of the items on the right hand side. If you are very rich and wish to do something generous, leave a comment at the bottom, I would be more than grateful! xx

shoes new look

hey hey, how is everyone? I managed to get all my christmas shopping; both presents and what to wear on christmas day all in 2 sessions, I was meant to go with friends but they were useless so I decided to go on my own. This many sound strange to some as most people my age seem to find it impossible to leave the house without 'meeting up with someone' but I found it so nice and refreshing to go shopping on my own, you get so much done! I bought all my gifts, plus a new pair of shoes and some make up to wear on christmas day. The shoes are beautiful, they're heels which I absolutely never wear and they're black booties so they look really nice with black tights. I would show pictures but I still can't find my camera cable, bad times! This mistaken item brings me onto my next problem, I want to do my giveaway as I have the prize for you guys but I can't upload photos of it! If I can't find it soon I'll just show you guys through photobooth. xx

its beginning to look a lot like christmas!

2010-12-05T06:26:00.000-08:00

top zara necklace topshop

vintage blazer shirt h&m random ribbon

top oxfam necklace chinese restaurant

shirt hobbs (was my mum's) dress zara kids necklace as before

I can't find my camera cable at the moment and haven't had time to look, sorry! But I leave you with some photobooth pictures of outfits. On friday I went to see Vampire Weekend, they were sooo good! Janelle Monae was supporting which was really good. I also got to see Kevin Bridges whose a scottish comedian yesterday as he turned on the christmas lights were I live. I'm so excited as I have just three exams left and three days until mocks are over, then it's only a week and a half until I break up, good times ahead! xx

2010-11-29T02:29:00.000-08:00

hey hey! I've been snowed under with mocks this last week (sadly not literally, it's due to snow in London tomorrow) but finally I had a free day! I should be studying but I took a break to write. As a present to myself for doing various exams, some not school related I bought myself a present. I haven't bought anything recently as all my money is going towards presents which is partially why I haven't been blogging, so even though it was from the charity shop I'm still very happy! It's a little book about Vivienne Westwood's perfume 'Boudoir', I don't actually have this perfume but after reading it I may try it as my new scent for next year, does anyone have it? If so please tell me. It's such a sweet little book and inside was a little negative picture thing of the bottle, that was the clincher between it and a harley davidson tee. ALSO I've just realised I'm close to 100 followers, yay! I'll probs do something like a giveaway when I get to 100, maybe even christmas-themed as its that time of year so get following, lets get to 100 by 2011! xxx

tiny books of art

2010-10-29T09:59:00.000-07:00

There's something about magazines that amaze me, I think it's the fact that you can keep little pieces of art on your shelf. Bearing this in mind you could imagine my extreme delight when I found a stall by my mum's office that sell back issues if zillions of magazines. None of the vogues took my fancy so I went for Dazed and Confused which I completely missed, the first edition of contributor mag and the first edition of love contemporary mag. All of these were originally at least £5 each, but I got the lot for just £2.70, don't you just love markets? I also got a pair of black tapered trousers for just £5, they just need some little alterations before I show them on here! xx

2010-10-26T09:59:00.000-07:00

I don't know how i missed this but this whistles campaign is so nice, i'm pretty sure almost every item here could nicely fit into my wardrobe...

new york photos part one

2010-10-25T05:25:00.000-07:00

I actually toke over 700 photos, but I won't show them all. This sums up the first couple of days, I enjoyed new york so much, it really made me think about taking photography more seriously. xx

new york things

2010-10-22T09:05:00.000-07:00

here's a little vlog about the things I bought in New York, I also got a

lovely top from american apparel, pictures to come soon! xx

new things

2010-10-10T11:03:00.000-07:00

jacket topshop

vintage jumper

boots primark

shirt H&M

The fact that a couple of these items classed as 'new' were bought during the summer show both how

much free time I've had and how long its been since I've blogged! Balancing school work and dance is

difficult, thank god its half term next week. This happily brings me to some exciting news, on friday I'm

going to New York with school!!! I'm sooooo excited. Its for art so basically we're going just to take

pictures, draw and shop, thats my kind of school trip! Other than that nothing has really been happening,

I loved London Fashion Week the best but Paris came in at a very close second with the Mcqueen

collection (beautiful).

see you soon!

lovely dresses

2010-09-21T14:49:00.000-07:00

yellow dress/pink dress

I hate how I always find really nice dresses on etsy but I either don't have enough money or it doesn't ship to England, this is the case in both of these dresses, therefore if you live in the US, please give these lovely dresses a home! xx

2010-09-18T12:34:00.000-07:00

2010-09-11T10:43:00.000-07:00

vintage shirt and belt, american apparel skirt

a couple of outfits from the last days of summer. Posts may be a bit slow, this week I started school again so the workload is starting to pile up. On top of that I'm taking 5 dance classes a week (aaaaaahhh). All this still hasn't stopped me from catching up on all the fashion week bits and bobs, I wanted to go to fashion's night out but I was at dance (what a surprise), however I've had a look at some of the New York pics, but to be honest I haven'y been too impressed. Here's hoping Paris and London will be better!

my new school bag

2010-08-28T09:18:00.000-07:00

making its way to me in about 10 days because I got 3A*s, I'm so excited!

finally some outfits

2010-08-26T15:57:00.000-07:00

mum's old denim shorts, vintage belt, top american apparel

the sale dress that got away (because it was too big), it was down from £45 to £20!!

tea dress from h&m

madonna vest from T K max worn underneath sheer vest from h&m, trousers from zara, vintage loafers

the best cupcakes ever, especially the carrot cake one.

i'm glad to be home

but the Isle of Wight was so much fun.....

Autumn/Winter

2010-08-17T14:40:00.000-07:00

As much as I love long summer days, I feel that winter is my favourite time of the year. School starts, my cousins come down for christmas and we get to keep warm in big knits and jackets. I think that since I've started to take a real interest in fashion, this season is going to be my fave, for I feel that this season is all about warm colours and comfort; big knits are selling out at topshop and everything from leather jackets to boots are being lined with fur. As much as I would love to cover my shoulders with one of burberry's jackets, I think I'll have to make do with saving up for a high street version, my eyes are on this topshop beauty but I might hold off to see if H&M do a slightly cheaper version. Above are my picks for this season, most of which are from topshop. I'm looking for shoes, a bag and a coat for the new school year, so hopefully some black loafers, one of the the bags above and a pea coat will be making my way soon.

I'm off to the Isle of Wight to see my friend for the weekend which will be fun, after that its results, then back to school! Can't wait *said in the most sarcastic voice*!

lovely bag

2010-08-11T06:51:00.000-07:00

i saw this bag and loved the shape, its so cool and perfect for carrying around my dance shoes. If you wouldn't mind voting for me on facebook i would love you guys for ever and ever! All you have to do is log on to facebook, go onto the marie claire page and like my photo, who knows, there may be something in it for you guys too! xx (i know, its such a dodgy picture!)

summer

2010-08-10T08:35:00.000-07:00

vintage denim jacket, ring holder from indonesia, vintage belt, m&s nail polish

pink lemonade with strawberries, a very big sweetie jar

sportsgirl top, vintage belt, h&m kids joggers

chanel-like tattoo from art of love

banana bread

Some things I've aquired/made/bought throughout the summer. The denim jacket was such a good buy. To be honest I didn't think I'd wear a denim jacket after turning 10 but when I saw it in my local charity shop I caved and it hasn't left my side since.

I'm so pleased I found these tattoos also, they don't last long but compared to the chanel ones they're not too expensive and fulfil my transfer needs! At the begining of the summer I always imagine it to be filled with sunshine, friends and fun things to do, but the same problem seems to always crop up. Friends go on holidays. However I didn't think I'd enjoy having my own company for a couple of weeks, it's not been the most exciting time but it's really relaxing to tick things off my list and just do nothing.

these past few days

2010-08-03T05:16:00.000-07:00

Since I've not been dancing lately I've had to stick on my trainers every morning. To be frank I don't really like it that much and my cat could probably walk faster, but it gets me up in the morning and when you have views like this, it seems a little easier. (source)

I've been making pancakes....

I've been into the village. I nearly bought a barbour-like jacket for £7 but it looked a tad small and this Sleeping Beauty record is a little kinder to a purse that's trying to save up. (On that note Grazia is only £1 this week!)

I've been catching up on some art. The book needs to be finished by September.

After having family stay for 3 weeks and sharing a house with 8 other people for a week its so nice to just laze around the house for a few days and and get some work done. I'm trying to get ahead of work before September since I'll be going into year 11 and dancing 5 times a week. It's also nice to have a rest before all of this.

late nights in the garden

2010-07-31T11:45:00.000-07:00

amazing new shorts from h&m which i haven't stopped wearing and new nail polish from m&s. Honestly, the nail polish from h&m is a little bit nicer and half the price of topshop's stuff, i fully recommend making a trip there. The shorts are so cool too, they're completly dotty, nicely flowy and have pockets deep enough to keep in my camera lens, phone and ipod.

Sadly i have only one day left with my cousins and my best friend has gone off to france for the summer therefore the week ahead will be full of revision, art and doing absolutely nothing! My cousin and I went shopping yesterday. It wasn't too successful but i saved some money by following Gem Fatale's advice and shopping in the kid's bit of h&m. I may share some pics from Rye soon, it was so nice to get away from london!

favourite things

2010-07-18T04:40:00.000-07:00

1. daisy perfume necklace

2. topshop american flag shorts

3. glitter nail polish from brighton

4. bright flowers growing in my garden

5. taking pictures of the cat (she's never shy)

this, running and pink lemonade probably sums up my summer best. So far my summer has been good and busy, I've just made my way back from Liverpool where we did the 'Beatles experience' which was really good, tomorrow my cousins and I are going to Abbey Road to finish off the experience and hopefully doing some last minute shopping before leaving for Rye on friday for a week where there's *gulp* no wifi! I'll still bring the laptop and try and do some posts. Somewhere.

the end is here!

2010-07-15T03:23:00.000-07:00

yesterday to celebrate the end of school Connie and I made our way to the V&A. We wanted to go and see Grace Kelly but we couldn't get tickets for that day so instead we walked around the fashion, textiles and theatre bits. The fashion stuff was amazing as usual, I can't actually go there without staring at the beautiful Mcqueen for at least five minutes; its so amazing and to be able to look at it in the flesh (minus the glass) is nothing less than a privilege. We also went to the textiles and theatre section. I'd been before but they must've added more because there were so many more posters and costumes. Also dotted around the museum was an architecture exhibition on building in small spaces, my favourite was the giant bookcase that we could walk up. We also popped into the natural history museum hoping to see the giant t-rex but he was closed for construction so no luck there! I'm so excited for this summer, mainly because its the last chance of freedom until year 11 in september (aarrgghhh!!!). I'm off to rye in about a week so shopping is needed, I'm in desperate need of a good hat!

my first festival!

2010-07-07T20:11:00.000-07:00

hop farm was amazing, i just want to be back there now. I've already planned to spend my whole summer next year once gcses are done. I just wore a simple crop top and skirt from american apparel, vintage belt and my new sunnies. I'm so annoyed I missed Laura Marling because I heard she was so good but Mumford & Sons were amazing! The trend seemed to be flower headbands, even the men wore them as the night grew on. I can't wait to go next year!

my purchases

2010-07-02T15:18:00.000-07:00

1. t shirt from neurotica £5

2. teacup necklace £4

3. tatty devine glasses necklace £10

... i also bought a pair of dance shorts from pineapple. I'm so pleased with my purchases from the clothes show, i could've spent all my birthday money on things i'll never wear but i focused and had stuff in mind before i went. I absolutely love my t shirt, I was about to buy another one until I found this one on the 'fiver rail'. The glasses necklace is amazing, the whole lot of my life savings could've gone on the tatty devine stall, but after a good ten minutes of deliberation i decided on this little beauty, i looked on their site and it usually is £33!

Tomorrow i'm off to brighton for the day with school (7 days left and counting) which is fun. We have to dress quite smart because we're visiting a university beforehand, i'm going for a simple black dress and cream shirt but i'm still deciding on tights and shoes. I tried to find a boater hat at the clothes show but they were all at least £15 which is crazy, hopefully i'll find a cheaper one in brighton!

like i promised!

2010-06-30T15:17:00.000-07:00

I think it was safe to say that the theme for the clothes show was neon/not-alot-of-clothes/sequins. We got great seats but were sadly right behind the photographers, all the same we were very lucky. Most of the outfits were from the high street but some however I'd seen before from some independent designers, I defiantly recognised the last outfit from fashion week earlier this year (think giant shoulder pads filled with barbie heads). It also really annoys me the second picture at the top, anyone else seen it? The concept of the show was travelling around different fashion capitals (how original) each with different trends, my favourites were Japan and London. This was my first time at the Clothes Show and all in all it was a fun day out but more of a 'girl's day out' than for the serious fashionistas. Soon I'll show you my buys which included a tatty devine necklace and neurotica tee so watch this space! I'm currently trying to convince my mum to take me to hop farm festival on saturday, wish me luck!

2010-06-27T15:31:00.000-07:00

top zara, skirt oasis, brogues office, dodgy face all mine

today i went to the clothes show, it was surprisingly good. More photos soon though, have to sleep now.

the big chop

2010-06-26T13:14:00.000-07:00

before

after

I felt that after over year (yes a year) it was finally time to get a hair cut and have a change. Please don't judge me on the fact I never, ever get a haircut but I must admit I have a huge phobia of the place, but I faced my fears, got the big chop and I have to say I love it. No more buns for a while now.

all the pretty colours

2010-06-19T14:31:00.000-07:00

the flowers in greenwich park were so lovely on saturday.

too tired to think of a witty title

2010-06-17T02:03:00.000-07:00

1. sunglasses by sportsgirl

2. jacket from topshop

3. playsuit also from topshop

4. my new favourite book from my best friend (the world challenge blog)

5. a suitcase full of sweets

6. dress from m&s and tank from american apparel

As of now I'm finally free!! Today was so good because I didn't need to go into school until 10.30, then after a 45 minute exam I had PE which was fun because everyone was so relaxed.

So here are some of my presents like a promised. Most of them are from the land of Oz because my mum came back home the day before my birthday, from what she brought back from Sportsgirl (which at first sounded like some sort of surfing shop) the fashion in Oz looks really good. The dress in the photo was one I bought with some money I'd got, I saw it a few weeks ago and from then on it was love at first sight, however I'd already bought 2 dresses so it wasn't too lovely for my little purse. Hopefully everybody else is starting to feel a little less stressed since exams are coming to an end.

happy thursday!

plus, please check out Gem who currently is holding THE best giveaway

birthday time!

2010-06-11T15:09:00.000-07:00

1. finally a real camera after over a year of blogging!

2. one of my lovely presents

3. and another one, a lovely top from sportsgirl

4. my cake!

5. a little extra pic, the cat loves 'roo' my than me!

I turned 15 yesterday, woohoo! I've had the nicest couple of days and I only have a week of exams until I'm free! Once this week is finished however, I do have a couple more things to sort out but come july I will be all yours. I think this blog is going to be a lot better now I have a real camera, I'm so excited! Today was amazing, first we went to the Ivy and sat next to Omid Djalili, then we went to Chicago. Also on the way back I got the baseball jacket I posted about earlier and a pair of those american flag shorts I've been wanting for ages. I think it shows how much I know about the world cup when I buy american flag shorts on a day like today! I promise a post on what I got very soon because I got such nice things including a subscription to lula!

happy saturday! xx

this week

2010-05-16T12:04:00.000-07:00

top cos, skirt oasis

vintage shorts and belt, random cardi, lace top and parrot bra topshop

I've been uber busy this week. I had my first gcse on friday, just six more to go! I'm trying out new hairstyles at the moment, plaits just seem so summery to me. After all my dance things I might just get my hair cut short instead, somewhere around Alexa Chung height.

I tried out some nail polish from the topshop make up range, I really wanted to try this colour first because it reminded me so much of the chanel colour. I loved the colour but I found the bruch a little clumpy. I really want the lilac one next. Posts will still be a little slow, but in a month I'll be free for the summer!

i know i've been slightly absent, I hate to give you guys the 'revision' excuse but on top of all of that stuff I'm dancing nearly every night plus I hurt my knee yesterday by doing absolutely nothing :(

I'm getting so excited for summer, only a month and a few weeks until I'm as free as a bird! Its also my birthday soon which is such a nice relax between exams., I'm already starting to compile a little list however top of my list is a camera for my new york. I think my hopes are a little too high however with the gorgeous mulberry alexa, but i did see a bag very similar in new look for about a trillion times less so I might do some searching at the weekend.

Hope everyone else is getting into the summer mood, and good luck to those taking exams! xx

i'm sueing!

here are two bags, one from warehouse, the other from urban outfitters

and this is my charity shop bag i bought two years ago, mr warehouse and mr urban outfitters, you'll be hearing from my lawyers (or in my case, my stepdad)

posts may be a little slow in the near future, sorry, exams come first! Also if anyone knows how to stop this underline please tell me how, i guess i can goodbye to that ict gcse!

who the hell invented tests????

2010-04-13T04:52:00.000-07:00

revision is drowning me, especially re :( at least i have the comfort that i only have to do it for one more term then its over. I also have some lovely coloured pens and beautiful notebooks to keep my concentration (thank god for artbox!) plus i finally found a copy of lula which i'm very happy about which is very nice to read in the sun in revision breaks! I would post outfits, but leggings and tops aren't very exciting! Although i did find a pair of jeans at the back of my wardrobe which made me quite happy. Oh dear, i need to get out more.....

i wear these shorts way too much

2010-04-11T09:36:00.000-07:00

my favourite t-shirt

happy easter!

2010-04-04T15:56:00.000-07:00

happy easter everyone, i haven't got any outfits today :( so here's a ballet pic from when i was about 6. I'm the shortest one second from the back ( nice, can that leg be anymore turned in and bent!). I love these photos, they make me wish i'd carried on ballet instead of giving it up then joining a couple of years ago.

I kinda gave up chocolate for lent but i think i'm going to give it up again, i've just had that one more creme egg, now i feel rather sick.

today

2010-04-01T08:28:00.000-07:00

my shoes came :)

i found this for just 9 pounds

i took these for my passport for new york (i always look dead in these)

got some magazines, i've never got elle before but it's actually quite good

i've been living off these because my mum doesn't trust me to cook on my own

easter's quite good so far

freedom at last

2010-03-28T10:58:00.000-07:00

cardi cos, random necklaces

perfection

2010-03-25T11:15:00.001-07:00

i need these in my life

shattered

2010-03-21T15:45:00.000-07:00

hey, y'know that beautiful blouse in my last post? well look at what i found at the charity shop for 5 smackers at the weekend (i hate how charity shops are starting to cotton onto how popular they're becoming and therefore raising their prices). Now all i need are those docs, hmmmmmmm. Oh god i've been so busy this term, i can't wait till easter. I also can't wait because then i can have chocolate (just one more week!)

it's all vintage baby, except for the necklace, thats marc jacobs.

the latest addition to my room when i really should've been doing my drama coursework this weekend :s

last week we went on an art trip to the V&A which was so much fun. We only spent our time in the fashion and costume places and even the whole day wasn't enough just for there! These were my favourite pieces. The first is Chloe, the second is Longchamp and of course the last is Mcqueen. I felt so privileged to be able to see this dress for real, even if it was through a sheet of glass. It truly was like nothing I've seen before.

top primark, vintage belt, skirt AA

i apologize for my messy room!

2010-03-05T10:44:00.000-08:00

friday was so much fun. This was my costume for our school dress-up day, my hair was much better but these were taken two hours after getting back from school. There were actually some really good costumes, one of my friends was juno along with her guitar which she played throughout the day. After a few hectic weeks posts should be more frequent now, we're going to the V&A in the week for art so that should be fun.

happy saturday xx

2010-03-04T08:28:00.000-08:00

Tomorrow for world book day, our school all dress up as a book character. Everyone else in my school are dressing up in those neon tutus (i'm not saying anything) or comic book characters but I'm dressing up as Holly Golightly, my costume's not very good but I can't wait! Now to go and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's for research, life is so hard sometimes :)

oh i do like to be beside the seaside (only when its warm)!

2010-02-19T07:25:00.000-08:00

On wednesday my mum and i took a spontaneous trip down to Brighton. It was really fun but very cold and i managed to wear what i thought was a practical yet nice outfit. Turned out that even if you put wooly tights under them, shorts are still not a good idea just yet. I'd never been to Brighton before and it was so much fun! I re-kindled my love for those 2p slot machines then after spending nearly £5 on them remembered why i haven't played on them for so long.

we wondered round the park which was so pretty, i tried to take a couple of pics with my polaroid but it must've been to sunny coz none of them came out :(
after walking around we went for a bit of shopping. For the second time this week i've had the offer from my mum to buy me something but i'm still empty handed! Does anyone else get that, when you only find something nice when there're no pennies in your purse?
however i did manage to find a tiny camera shop that sold polaroid film which was good because i was down to my last pack! The man that owned the shop said that their going to start making film again, i really hope this is true. I also picked up a ss lookbook from jigsaw. I've never really been into their clothes but the pictures are really nice!

I spent today finishing off some homework and watching live streams from london fashion week. I really liked the first half of Caroline Charles' show.

But for the rest of tonight, forget lfw, i wanna know who killed Archie! My moneys on Ben or Peggy.

happy friday xx

2010-02-15T02:41:00.000-08:00

top new look, shorts topshop, various necklaces

Sorry about the photo, i look dead in the eyes! I love this top so much. I've got so much work to do this week which is pretty dull. I went shopping yesterday but i didn't get to go to ant god shops because my friend lost her purse which was a shame coz i really wanted to catch the end of the topshop sale. On friday i helped out with a disco for the younger years which was funny. Its weird seeing how we probably used to be! I'm so excited for london fashion week, I tried to watch the Alexander Wang show a couple of days ago but i got the times confused and missed it :( but i loved it all the same. Oh yeah, I'm trying to find a good but cheap dslr, my limit's about 300 smacaroons. I was looking at the fujifilm s9600, does anyone know if its any good?

happy half term xxx

WTF????

2010-02-11T08:48:00.000-08:00

RIP

i was gunna do post today, but I don't really feel like it now, big one tomorrow :( xx

let the drummer kick

2010-02-07T10:40:00.000-08:00

i didn't do a lot today. ok i didn't do anything, except for some art coursework. I found these shorts in some old chest in the spare room, how did i not find these before??

shirt topshop, cardi m&s, vintage belt and shorts, tights primark

this is my new ring, i had a few pounds left on my toppers gift card so i grabbed it, this really isn't a good photo, its basically two leaves wrapped around. I really want to get some more rings.

oh yeah and i just found out that i'm going to Barcelona for the weekend sometime in march, i'm so excited! xxx

2010-02-06T13:41:00.000-08:00

hey! your favourite worst blogger here with (finally) a post! i've been so busy these few weeks, this week i only have one day free. On wednesday I've possibly got the best mixture of my two fave things, i'm dancing at my school fashion show! I was playing around with some things to wear (the theme is planets?) when i somehow concocted this outfit. I'm now praying for someone to throw an 80s themed party, or if all else fails i'll just were it out!

I also think i have a sub-conscience penchant for velvet now!

body topshop, homemade skirt, vintage belt

on another note, this baby arrived in the post, its from oasis and it was down from £80-£30! plus i had a £25 gift card. I literally jumped up and down screaming when i saw it!

i'm now catching up on material girl and dipping into a packet of hula hoops!

2010-01-28T10:02:00.000-08:00

a few outfit posts and thrifts

:)

2010-01-18T11:30:00.000-08:00

just to say, i'm not on my laptop doing this (its borrowed)!

NUTCRACKER!!!

2010-01-08T11:38:00.000-08:00

I must apologize before a start this post, I really meant to post it ages ago (like AGES ago) but I've been soooo busy, and i didn't want to do it badly. However I managed to lose my camera cable so I can't show you more pictures :(

right, real post.

Ok, so about a month ago I found out that I'd won a giveaway from the wonderful Elise from Ballet News. And the prize was 2 tickets to go and see the Nutcracker around christmas time and a signed pair of pointe shoes from Elena Glurdjidze, the senior principal dancer for English National Ballet!!!! If none of this is making sense for all you 'fashion savy' readers, here's a picture of Elena Glurdjidze:

yes that is a mr karl lagerfeld, and yes that is a chanel tutu!

my tickets! I was so excited, they were on my bedside table every night!

dress h&m, coat zara, cardi cos, vintage bag (haha, see how i sneaked an outfit post in there!)

This photo is sooooo terrible, but because of the crap weather (only rain though!), this was the only one we took before we legged it to the station! Anyway, the show was AMAZING! The set was so cool, it was like a huge book! I could go on forever about the dancers, they were beautiful!

Now to sleep, I'm pretty sure i've only got a normal weekend sadly, no more snowdays :( we had one on thursday but that was it.

It's also technically this blog's first birthday! But since it didn't really get going until around April, I'm going to make that it's official birthday, like the Queen!

god that was a long post! Happy friday xxx

i know we've just finished christmas, but.......

2010-01-03T13:10:00.000-08:00

i want all of these, there mainly from topshop except for the bags, which, despite my christmas pennies are probably out of my price range :)

ps, HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! mine was very hectic, i need to show you guys about my lovely trip and my lovely sale buys! xx

oxford street just after christmas, a very scary place

2009-12-28T14:52:00.000-08:00

I'm in such a good mood at the moment, but more about that tomorrow! I hope everyone had a good christmas, I most certainly did, it was very quite, just the three of us and included a lot of food (mostly chocolate) and a lot of sitting watching the telly. I didn't get anything huge, just bits and bobs like books, make up and vouchers. I was actually pleased (and very pleasantly surprised) that instead of giving me topshop vouchers, she gave me an urban outfitters voucher and a cos voucher :). So yesterday mum and i went sale shopping, at first we thought that all sales had been canceled, then we went to topshop, it was hectic. I was trying to find a couple of items in the sale but after about five minutes just gave up. However after that i was very successful and got:

a lovely shirt for £20

A cardi to replace the old one :( this one is lovely though, i got it from cos which is becoming my new fave shop, the pic gives the colour no justice and it was only £35!

This was probably my fave prezzie, it hasn't left my neck since i unwrapped it, its amazing and yes, it is marc jacobs!!!!!!!!! I love it so much, and an added bonus, if you twist it round there's a little bit of solid perfume!!!

I've been watching the big fat quiz of the year these past nights, noel and russel are legends!

happy monday xxx

1 more sleep!

2009-12-24T03:28:00.000-08:00

this is what i wore yesterday to go and see a show on southbank, it was really good and very fun (sorry about my bad writing, its christmas so my heads not switched on today). I've had all these silk scarfs from various places but barely worn them very well, i might start wearing them more often in the new year. Today i'm going to see st trinians 2, mmmm david tennant :P

happy christamas eve! xx

new bits and bobs

2009-12-23T11:23:00.000-08:00

happy wednesday! xx (2 days till crimbo!)

SNOW!!!

2009-12-21T08:22:00.001-08:00

finally, a post!!!

some pics of recent outfits over christmas. However I have some slightly bad news, there was an incident today which meant my favourite cardi (the one in the first pic) had to be thrown away :( I'm a bit sad 'coz it was my only snuggly cardi, better get hunting for a new one, another thing to add to my ever-growing list of 'sales buys' for new year. Lots of happy shopping in the next few weeks, can't wait! Also, since its the holidays, I'm going to try and post everyday to get back into the swing of things, so I warn you of maybe a few random posts in the near future.

happy monday xx

oh yeah, IT'S SNOWING AGAIN!!!!

2009-12-04T12:40:00.000-08:00

top gap, cardi h&m, vintage belt, trousers new look

2009-11-20T12:20:00.000-08:00

I'm so sorry for my absence, i've had soooooo much on these past couple of weeks, including ISAs (A*!) LOTS of art coursework,catching up on work, dentists etc etc........ biggest news though is that last weekend i went up to birmingham for a dance competition! i usually do these things (5 years but who's counting?) and never win anything but this year was very different. I managed to come home with TWO gold medals, one for tap and the other for modern! I also came 2nd overall! and to top it all off i also got a special award for the highest stage mark of whole competition which was 95/100!!!!! sadly i left my camera in my friend's bag so no proper photos i'm afraid but here's some webcam ones for the while.

this rosette makes me feel a bit like a pony :)

now i'm off to drink some fizzy pop and watch children in need, happy friday :) xxxx

and i thought this day couldn't get any worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not a good day :(

2009-11-10T14:12:00.000-08:00

eurgh, i'm so tired at the moment. This week i've only just found out i have gcse practicals, i had my hpv on monday and i'm stressing out about my competition on sunday :( oh yeah, and my cat just brought in a slug. at least there's a movie on tonight, my giles deacon scarf came through the post today and i managed to fish out my old polaroid camera, now i have two!

hope you guys can have a lovely tuesday!!! xxx

trick or treat??

2009-11-01T06:29:00.000-08:00

halloween was good last night, although now i feel slightly sick. i stupidly forgot to bring my camera so i can only show you this part of my costume, hopefully my friend will 'facebook' her photos so i can show you guys. My hair still isn't back to normal. Also, i'm a very happy bunny because i was lucky enough to get a wonderful caramel bunny scarf designed by giles deacon, can't wait till it arrives!!!

happy sunday xxx

2009-10-26T15:27:00.000-07:00

a bored emma + a plain white tee + a biro =

shirt primark, diy tee, skirt american apparel, vintage belt

i got bored of art, dance and various other things today so i decided to make cookies (which tasted more like cake) and to customize one of my spare white tees, I also got to wear it out for tea :) more christmas shopping tomorrow! plus some sale shopping (hopefully!)

happy monday xx

blog roll

2009-10-22T06:09:00.000-07:00

doesn't anyone else think that sounds a bit dodgy? Anyways, i'm gunna do a blog roll on the side of the page so if anyone fancies doing a link swap just leave a comment on this post xx

happy thursday :)

you don't have to be james dean

2009-10-20T14:14:00.001-07:00

tee h&m

today i took my grandma out shopping with my mum, and for getting good grades this half term she bought me some good quality art pencils and this tee although i think she got it for me more because of her obsession with James Dean. I'm gathering an increasingly big collection of printed tees at the moment, i still haven't shown you guys my lovely new vest! I also came across the most amazing pair of boots from topshop but the £68 price tag was a little out of my range (to say the least), my christmas wishlist is growing by the day! full on work for the rest of the week until all my friends get back next week, then halloween, can't wait!

happy tuesday :) xx

NEWSHOES!!

2009-10-18T13:37:00.001-07:00

well, if you wanna get technical they're very very very old shoes, mum found these at the back of her wardrobe today and didn't want them so i snapped them up. They're a little big but i'm defiantly not one to turn down a free pair of shoes! Sorry for the bad quality, i only have a crappy digital camera and i've literally just taken the photo. I'm off school for 2 weeks now (thank god) but these past few days have been quite good, a got a good grade card, i got into our drama finals and my granny's down to stay! Can't wait for halloween, i'm going to a party but i don't know what to be, any ideas?? What's everyone else being for halloween?

happy sunday! xx

soooo much work!!!!!!

2009-10-11T10:50:00.000-07:00

Today i went shopping with my cousin, i also went to london last weekend but if i'm honest, i'm starting to not like going up to high street shops in london more and more. I would much rather go vintage shopping in london or go high street shopping in a little town centre. Today i went to Guilford which is literally in the middle of nowhere but there are soo many nice shops! we also went to Dorking which had loads of charity shops, they had so many vintage cameras which, if i had more money would defiantly be mine! Whilst shopping i managed to grab a copy of nylon, OMG OMG OMG i swear its their best issue in a long time, a mix of alexa chung, gossip girl AND melrose place!!!!!!! Anyways, this is what i wore/what i bought/what i nearly bought:

shirt and skirt topshop, bag vintage

dress next, i was so close to buying this, i'm thinking of going back and getting it, its literally just lace with shoulder pads (i'm wearing a skirt underneath it)

My lovely new shoes!!!! I bought these from M&S about a month ago (suppose you can't really call them new then?) I've worn them out a couple of times but i can't wait to start wearing them with some lovely little dresses for winter!!!

happy sunday xx

what you be doing in 10 years time?

2009-10-02T13:26:00.000-07:00

as part of our art project we had to bring in interesting garments, this is was i brought in; the first was dress from when i was about 3 and the second i bought earlier this year. If only i could wear the dress now, its sooooooo utterly nice! We had mufti day today (you the one where you have to wear a pair of jeans and a pink top) so i would've done an outfit post but i think i've got a cold and i can barely move my right shoulder :( other than that today was a very good day! This weekend should be very good, i'm going to see fame on saturday and on sunday i'm taking my friend up to london to go shopping! hopefully some lovely winter clothes will be showing their way up soon!

happy friday xxxx

as promised :)

2009-09-30T12:49:00.000-07:00

Thankyou some much for those lovely comments, the show was amazing and I even ended up winning 2 awards; 1 for the best modern exam mark in the school and another for best level 3 ballet mark in the country (OMG OMG OMG!!!!!) I wish I had got some more photos, especially of my Mary Poppins costumes but because of quick changes it wasn't possible :( shown here are a few of the tutus, a sleeping beauty costume and the (what seems to be now a compulsory show dance now) high school musical costumes. I'm in love with my tutu, so much it will probably need a post to itself! My competition is in about 6 weeks so I'll show it to you guys nearer the time :)

AND an amazing bonus, remember that thing I was sooooooo excited about a few weeks ago?? well there's going to be an art trip to NEW YORK next year and my grandparents were so proud of me at my show they said they will pay for it!!!!! omg omg OMG!!!!!!!!! (can you tell i'm in a bit of a happy mood?)

happy wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

Luella!!!! ( get ready for a few pictures!)

2009-09-26T00:56:00.000-07:00

(credit to style.com)

By far my favourite collection! I'm surprised I haven't seen much luella lately although I did see Alexa Chung wearing the white and yellow dress.

There's so much i've fallen in love with about this amazing collection especially the cutouts on the dresses and the pastel colours and the shoes OMG THE SHOES!!!!! how amazing is the detail on these babies, i feel a diy coming on!! I'm so excited for ss10 its going to be really good me thinks!

anyways, today's my dance show (*screams*) i'm so nervous! my camera is definatly coming with me so lots of costume photos to come in the near future!

happy sunday xx

just keep calm, and carry on

2009-09-19T14:37:00.000-07:00

blazer vintage (well, mums old)

tee primark

bottom half all m&s

the last pic is just so you can see my new shoes! I've been looking for so long for a cheap blazer since to be honest, its not something i would normally buy but nowadays its something every girl should have. so i search high and low in charity shops, primark and markets but not a good one in sight, until i went to the spare room and found all my mums old work clothes! its slightly bigger than 'oversized' so it might need some tweaking, i also might change the buttons to some gold ones, what do you guys think?? its become a ritual after dance on a saturday; buy look magazine and a drink, go to charity shops, i tried to find a sparkly top i saw but someone had beaten me to it :( i saw a nice pair of shoes that i might go back and get though, has anyone else noticed that the price of things at charity shoes has gone up or is it just my ones??

Everyones sooooo stressed at the moment, to many changes, cut and re-choreographing are happening, people are not happy, i'm glad i'm staying out of the way! wow i've just realized how much i've written, its like a mini essay (sorry!) if only i could write this much so fast for homework!

happy saturday xx

kerazy for kane

2009-09-17T15:34:00.001-07:00

Everytime I see this AMAZING collection i fall in love with it even more especially this crazy tee, i tried convincing steve to get it but he didn't buy it (in both ways) i might try and convince/beg/grovel my mum for it since i have no money whatsoever :( :( :( but by then it will probably be sold out. tomorrow connies sleeping over then on saturday i might go charity shopping after ballet. then dance dance and more dance for he rest of the weekend (show in 10 days eek!) my costumes are so amazing, my dance teacher's mum keeps on giving me little extras to try on but i haven't seen any final outfits!!! i promise photos!

happy thursday xx

want want want!!!!!

2009-09-13T13:47:00.001-07:00

all from topshop (surprise surprise!) i have something AMAZING to tell you guys but i should probably wait until it becomes real, here's a clue; it includes art gcse and something happening this week!!!

happy sunday :) xx

blazer gap

dress h&m

belt vintage

wow 50 posts! this is so cool, thankyou for all the lovely comments lately, reading them makes me feel really happy (god how cheesy does that sound?)

my mum is starting work again so we've been shopping two days straight buying her some lovely dresses and amazing shoes (she doesn't know it, but she won't be the only one wearing them) first we went to bluewater (i got some great complements for what I was wearing!) the today we went up to london where i got some amazing shoes (more about that later) and i went to beyond retro for the first time! i could literally spend hours in that place. The day ended at trafalger square, a guy we know set off balloons on the 4th plinth! I've also been invited to an outrageous hat party, time to get creative!

i don't think i'm going to sleep tonight, gcse results come in tomorrow, i'm going into year ten in september but for some reason (which i'm regretting now) i decided to take my music early, bad move, i think i'm going to need to get interview magazine so that this lovely picture and many more can cheer me up:

happy thursday! xx

omg

2009-08-21T06:56:00.003-07:00

i've just made THE best brownies!!!
