Don't Matter If It's Long Short, Do It Do It Whip Your Hair...

I know this is supposed to be a fashion related blog but in the continued clean up of the files on my computer it dawned on me just how many hairstyles i've had in just over 1 year... All in the pursuit of a big ass fro!!!

The story begins here... My style before required relaxer and as I wanted my natural texture back I stopped using it... After a few months I had this head of natural hair...

... But i'd effed it up so badly I decided to work towards starting over. Stopped at this stage...

...Before I went in for the big chop and went completely Baldylocks...

Even though I wanted to keep things completely natural I couldn't help but go blonde for a while...

But it required such constant colouring that I eventually dyed my hair back to black and just chopped the split ends off...

When it was long enough I started weaving it up- not my favourite look but any black girls reading this will know how super fast hair grows in weave...

...Tried a brown one too just to change things up a bit...

When my hair was long enough I went and got my hair braided nice and thick...

I had a short natural interval but the length was a bit irritating, I want a long fro!!...

So I braided it back up with these super long braids and here I am today...

The road to the natural hair length I want certainly is slow but I do love the braided look!!

Do you have a favourite look?? Mine's probably the Amber Rose, I really did like that even though it was mashing my hair up!! lol

Toodles to you bitches xx

No One To See, I'm Free As The Breeze, No One But Me And My Memories...

Looking through my photos, tryna organise everything because there's something very annoying about disorganised files on your computer, well for me anyway... And I noticed all these pics of me in my beloved American Apparel long johns. 


Definitely one of the best items of clothing i've ever bought: Really versatile, comfy and warm- what more can you want?!

They've taken me from...

an Amber Rose-esque bald blondie...

...to a short cropped black style a la Solange, much to the amusement/horror of my boyfriend...

...to a braided up hobo sans stupid aforementioned ex-boyfriend but plus his jacket...

...to weaved up as a booted brunette in the Winter...

...to scarfs, prints and braids again in Spring...

...and now (or should I say last week before the new braids) keeping me warm on a day in during the unpredictable British Summer...

...And yet after all those wears and washes they're still in great condition!!

Guess the moral of the story is that men and hairstyles change but Long Johns always remain...

Or perhaps it's that you should invest in things you like instead of being a cheap bitch- I really should order some more lol.

Anyway, toodles to you bitches xx

Hopped Up Out The Bed, Turned My Swag On...

... Words made famous in the UK by Cher Lloyd's rendition of the Keri Hilson remix of 'Turn My Swag On'. Hate her or love her, she's probably gonna do big things and was spotted wearing one of my cousin veeveeandneco.blogspot.com/ watch designs on the set of her new video...

Well I went to have a nosy at their collection today and had to do another post on them cos it's so good!!

I know i'm supposed to be biased but honestly, look for yourselves...

My arms decked out in watches and rings from both collections

Neco in the popular 'black magic' watch from the ET collection

Neco and Vee wearing their watches and glasses

At the end of my visit I even snagged myself some glasses i've bin wanting for ages.

Sorry people, but you know im obsessed with black and white atm... Photos just seem to look so much more interesting this way...

And one colour photo so you can see the glasses properly...

• Jumpsuit- H&M
• Denim Jacket- Vintage & DIY
• Glasses- VeeVeeandNeco

Those glasses are gonna become a Zizzi's Wardrobe staple so get used to them!! lol

If you like what you've seen you can also check VeeVee And Neco's Facebook to see updates of what they've created.

I've decided NOT to cut my hair btw, i've got used to the weight now and don't want them any shorter... Think the yeti look suits me :)

Thanks for all the comments and don't forget to LEAVE ME YOUR LINKS!!!... I will get back to all your blogs eventually, just having a busy week.

Toodles to you bitches xx

My Art Is Called Egocentric Soft Porno...

Hello chikas... How are you all?? Enjoy the weekend??... Good good, pleased to hear it!

I don't know how many hours I spent plaiting these super long, Solange inspired braids but my fingers are very sore....

I will cut em down a bit to stop my head falling off but what d'you think?...

If you comment don't forget to leave a link to your blog if you have one.

Toodles to you bitches xx

(P.S. Title = lyrics to 'Art Bitch' by CSS... An amazing song I quote all the time!!)

She Has Never Seen The Sunshine, Yet She's Getting Along Just Fine...

K, so you could say this '80s/swimwear look is a little tongue-in-cheek dig at the English Summer... I mean, I know I complain about hot weather but rain in June, really?!?!? Never get used to it.

Need to go to the shop, might take a snorkel too...

• Jacket- Vintage, Oldham St
• Shorts- Cow & DIY
• Shoes- Cow
• Swimming tankini top thingy- friend

And my favourite GFW piece from the romantic collection of Rochester graduate Lyudmila Lane was...

Her full GFW collection...

Hope everyone's enjoying their Sunday.

Toodles to you bitches! xx

On The Edge Of A Dream That You Have... Has Anybody Ever Told You It's Not Coming True??...

Ok, so there's quite a bulk of GFW stuff i'd like to share so i'm not gonna do it all in one massive post that  everyone's too scared to read it lol.

Instead, i've set up a youtube account to upload blog videos onto and i'm gonna feed it to ya in manageable chunks using some short videoclips I recorded and a few of my favourite stills as well.

All the graduates on stage with presenter Caryn Franklin

Today's pick is the menswear collection of Manchester University's very talented Rose Dent...
(Have a peek, the clip's less than a minute long)

And my fave pic I took was...

What d'you think?? Will we be seeing more of Rose's work in the future??

That's it for today, more GFW stuff tomorrow...

Toodles to you bitches!! xx

With Lips And Teeth To Ask How My Day Went, Boots And Fists To Pound On The Pavement... (Lace vest challenge day 3)

Shout out to Ronan, my 100th follower <3 Thanks to all of you.

Camera's still messed up, hence the very grainy pics. Looks like there's no hope... Time to start saving for a new one :(

This is Sophia's other suggestion... Didn't mean to do 2 of hers in a row, just worked out like that, haha...

• Lace vest- H&M
• Blue bra- La Senza
• Levi's cutoffs- Vintage, Manchester
• Boots- Shop on Oldham St that has unfortunately closed down

Graduate Fashion Week was great as always... Will do my post on it tomorrow.

Toodles to you bitches xx

After I Saw The Light, I Packed My Things, The Light Gave Me Life, Helped Me See More Clearly...

Graduate Fashion Week in a few hours!! Yeahhhhhhhh

I bought this LBD from a shop in Levenshulme, Manchester (where I used to live) a few years ago.

It's closed now...

Toodles to you bitches!! xx

I'm gonna start posting the music from my titles at the end of my posts now I think. Some of them are such good songs, like this one.

Put On Your Red Shoes And Dance The Blues... (Lace Vest Challenge Day 2)

Well it's frustrating me to death but there's nothing I can do about it... I seem to have well and truly mashed up my camera!!! You're just gonna have to bear with me and these crummy, dark, blurry pics till i've sorted it out or got a new one (which probably wont happen any time soon).

Day 2 = one of Sophia's suggestions- black leotard underneath with hotpants and coloured or cheetah heels...

Well I don't own hotpants so I used my beloved knitted knickers and I don't have those kinds of heels so I used my friend's not so heely red shoes...

• lace vest- H&M
• lace leotard- gift
• knitted shorts- TopShop
• red shoes- friend's

GRADUATE FASHION WEEK TOMORROW!! Eek

Toodles to you bitches xx
