Ooops...

I don't like making excuses but...

So there has been a complete lack of posts for... what like a month? =/ Yeah I'm just a trrible person, but what with my birthday, my sisters birthday, preperations for my year abroad, I just got a little bit swamped. But its all good now =)

I'll make it up though, soon I'm gonna be getting a Lady Luck Rules Ok secret swag bag through my door. Either tomorrow or Friday I think =) Mega exciting! Oh, and it's secret as it's only available after you log in, check it out if you want some mega bargains! (I think there are still some left anyways!)

I'll be around much more, honest =)

Layering it up!

I experimented the other day...

with layering up necklaces. My big big sister was taking me to a gig at our local bar/music venue (which I looooove). I kinda wanted to go for a layered look, and just well, went for it. It happened in a few phases, between which I was being my very indecisive and not so confidant self...

1. So this is what I started with. I kept it mostly pink (not a hard thing to do for me really...) with a few other colours splashed in. It looked ok, but I thought it needed a bit of something extra...


2. So phase two! I went a little bit crazy, added a bit of purple and some shorter necklaces. Stuck with this for like five minutes, then decided I should maybe tone it down a little...


3. Phase three, took out everything I added in phase two, except the purple.

4. And... then I chickened out. I dunno, I think it all came down to a lack of confidence in the end.

I'm kinda glad I decided against the layered look in the end, I was sooooo warm and the gig and having a load of necklaces on would have just made it worse, and I would have spent all night trying to keep them all in perfect place! But I can't decide whether layering is something I'll try again, I think confidence issues will always kick in at the last minute (it happens to me quite a lot). I guess this is as far as I'll ever take it:

What I wore...

Yesterday I went with my big sis to my big big sisters house!

Trust me, that sentence makes sense in my head... But yeah, we had a bit of a "Glasto party" =) involving lots of food, but no carbs =/ (when big sis was driving me home, she told me that she was craving carbs so bad, "I want some bread!!" ha). It was nice, we all got to watch blur together, it was a special moment =)

This is what I wore =)


The necklace is another Heidi Seeker =) Another name necklace... I do love them. (I realise now that adopting an alias and then taking photos of myself wearing name necklaces isn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but oh well!) I perhaps should have taken a better picture of the t-shirt, as it is amazing.

What I wore...

The other day at my sisters...


Went round to check out her new rabbit run =D and to generally hang out. Caught a bit of sun, not good in the t-shirt I had on, now have some rather attractive tan-sleeves. Woo...


This t-shirt is preeeeetty old... but I love it =) Mainly because it has a unicorn AND a rainbow on it, mega bonus! My pink plastic gladiators are also a love of mine...



Obligatory necklace shot (ooh and Rainbow Heart Sunnies, yaaaaaaaaaaay!)
This necklace is from Heidi Seeker and is pretty amazing =) I do love personalised name necklaces! And pink. And neon. =D That ring is another Lady Luck, and they still have them in stock! They didn't have the purple and yellow ones in when I got mine, they're pretty cool colours.

Oh, and don't buy rainbow heart sunnies from Topshop, they have the same ones (or if not the same, then pretty similar...) in New Look for £5, and the Topshop ones are £15 I think.

Fake Festival

My and my sister went last Saturday...


To a Fake Festival. Woooo! Its like a festival, but with tribute acts. And my dads band =) (which is why we went...) It was pretty cool, there was an Arctic Monkeys tribute and lots of food! (I pigged out just a little!) My sister finally got her pics on Facebook, and I likey this one =)

My sister has also decided she wants a name necklace for her birthday, need to decide which one to get. I'm terrible at buying necklaces for other people... (mainly because I don;t want to give them away!)

Fringe necklace

Today I stumbled across this...


A beautiful fringe necklace from Norwegian Wood! (I love that name, just because I love the song). This necklace is so wonderful, I love the layering of different sized chains, and of course the beautiful fringing in gorgeous colours, again in different sizes and an offset design which gives it a bit of an edge. I do have a soft spot for fringing, I always wanted to live in the 20's and dance the Charleston in a fringed dress =) The closest I got was in a dance show when I was younger, dancing to Fat Sams Grand Slam in a purple satin dress with a row of white fringing along the top and bottom (it would have been way too expensive to cover the whole thing in layers of fringing) and a pretty cute headpiece. But anywhoo, the necklace!

(Image belongs to iheartnorweiganwood)

Isn't it just gorgeous? Unfortunately, its a little bit out of my price range at the minute =( But I might add a 1920's flapper inspired fringed necklace to my list of diy's to attempt. Check out her harnesses to, actual love!

Vintage Silk Scarf

I "acquired" this scarf when I got back from Uni...

Meaning, I found it in the house, started wearing it and mum said I could have it =) Its a bit damaged, but I do love it! I spent a while taking photos to do it justice, I'll probably get a better one some time in the future

It also looks great tied round the handle of my plainish oversized tan leather bag =) Yay!
