And All That Is And Ever Was, Begin Again, Begin Again...

Kinda irritating that I didn't get to do my intended post this weekend, didn't get chance.
Anyway, i'm working on a look inspired by this amazing Chemical Brothers song...


Don't know if anyone's seen the film Hanna but i'd highly recommend it if you love The Chemical Brothers like I do (they did the entire soundtrack), Cate Blanchett <3 and artistically shot action sequences...

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
Toodles to you bitches!! xx

Cash, Last I checked I Was Overdraft, Spent More Money Than I Guess I Had... What Do You Do About That??...

Recently i've encountered a problem... A big one at that... I have NO money!!!! lol Furthermore i've made this problem worse through my addiction to spending money I don't have- mainly on make-up... Dior, Chanel, Benefit, Black Up, MAC... I am just in love with make-up. And expensive make-up in pretty packaging especially. As the mighty Valentino once said in a documentary 'I love beauty, it's not my fault' Hahaha, beauty products are bankrupting me...

(Pictured: Black Up concealer no2, Black Up Powder, Maybelline gel eyeliner 01 intense black, Illamasque lipstick in Atomic, MAC liquid foundation, Chanel Lipstick 65, Illamasque highlighter in Ether, Fashion Fair lipstick in Burnt Almond, Dior Addict ultra-gloss 557, Benefit erase paste No3)

Of these recent purchases i'd recommend Maybelline's gel eyeliner, Benefit's Erase Paste concealer and of course Illamasque lipstick, of which I now own most of their collection!! Gel eyeliner is so friggin amazing!!... It has the easy application of a kohl eyeliner pencil and the precision and intensity of  liquid eyeliner. What a revelation to my life!!

Definitely time to start seriously searching for a job, ha...
What do you splurge on?????

Toodles to you bitches xx

Gravity's My Enemy, It Grabs On Me Like I'm A Leech, The Stars Are Bangin Close To Me, As I'm Floating In A Light Odyssee...

Shout out to Tamara for my new label... 'stylin' :) Imma add it to all my older posts too!!

Sorry if I haven't got back to your blog yet, i've bin a bit lazy but i'll have a whiz round everyone who's commented recently later on!!

Silly post today really. My outfit was just a plain pink '90s jumpsuit (from Retro Rehab, Manchester) and matching pink lipstick- an Illamasque/Dior mix. I kept having lucid dreams, not sure how many hours I actually spent properly awake and that gave me this idea...










Toodles to you bitches xx

Club Tropicana Drinks Are Free, Fun And Sunshine There's Enough For Everyone...

Too much friggin light coming though my window!!!... My sister bet I couldn't style out a Hawaiian shirt so I endeavored to prove her wrong and bought this one from Cow in Manchester. There's something very satisfying about taking the lame holiday staple of a middle-aged man and trying to make it wearable...







I'm happy with the result. D'you think I pulled it off or is it still lame?? Hahaha

Toodles to you bitches xx

Fashion! Turn To The Left... Fashion! Turn To The Right.. Oooooooh, Fashion!!...

I just booked tickets to Gala Show 1 wish they were for Gala Show 2 & the after party but those tickets were too expensive at Graduate Fashion Week in June. Me and my friend went last year and it was great. Seeing the collections of emerging design talents while they're still fresh out of uni really is an amazing experience!!- Cliche but true.

Last year the River Island Gold Award went to Manchester Mets talented, young designer Rebecca Thomson...



My favourite piece of hers was probably...



 ...You can have a look at this link: Rebecca Thomson's Collection to see more of her winning garments from Graduate Fashion Week 2010. Wonder who'll win this year?!?!...

If you live in London or can get down I highly recommend it. It's held at the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre from the 5th- 8th of June and you can get tickets from £12.50 for the individual university shows and that will also include entrance to the exhibition. Have a look at http://gfw.org.uk/home.aspx to see more about the event and/or book tickets...

Last years judges included Alberta Ferretti and Erin O'Connor so it's not an event to be missed- And no i'm not being sponsored to say all this, i'm just very excited!!!! lol

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures for this lil blog too.

Toodles to you bitches xx

Garage Glamorous, Not Sure What It Means, But This Photo Of Us, It Don't Have A Price, Ready For Those Flashing Lights...

Bought this black and white bodycon mini dress yesterday in H&M. My friend had been wanting me to buy it for a while but whenever we went in, it was never there. But we were browsing around yesterday and there it was. So I bought it... Beautiful story huh?! lol...

Son I'm 30, I Only Went With Your Mother Cos She's Dirty, And I Don't Have A Decent Bone In My Body, What You Get Is Just What You See...

Afro times!!!! Admittedly it's only been for two days but I want my hair at a better length before I start keeping it out and any black girl reading this will know that keeping it in extensions, weave etc etc is the fastest way to grow afro hair.

This dress is as summery as I could ever look and I wear it at least once a Summer. I must've had it since I was 17. One of my favourite buys from Retro Rehab ( that vintage dress shop i'm always going on about on Oldham St in Manchester)...






Right, i'm off to go melt now... Never understood the appeal of hot weather... Gimme some snow and a wool cape any day!! 

Toodles to you bitches xx

Six Inch Walker, Big Shit Talker, I Never Play The Victim... I'd Rather Be A Stalker!!...

As you'll all notice i've drastically changed the design of my blog... That jarring black print was getting on my nerves and I think the writing's a lot easier to read now. Anyway, that's the story behind why I stripped down to the simplest template- If I ever work out how to, i'll add a pic to the title but other than that plain it is!! :)

These pics really make me laugh at myself, like i'm such a badass! Ha.. But i'm rather fond of some of them anyway- 'The only thing i'm missing is a black guitar'...












Whoops, even though I took these pics months ago i've just noticed I posted a really similar outfit (same jacket & glasses) not too long ago!!... Oh well, these ones are in a bath!! Haha

Toodles to you bitches xx
