Feel The Warmth We'll Never Die, We're Like Diamonds In The Sky...
Firstly, I just created a facebook page for Zizzi's Wardrobe. I never really wanted one and have fought it for a long time but it just makes sense if I ever want this lil blog to pick up any speed...
So here's the link, www.facebook.com/ZizzisWardrobe I don't ask you guys for much but if you have facebook and are a fan of my blog please go over and like the page cos if I don't have 50 likes by the end of next week i'll probably shut it down out of frustration and turn to alcohol!! No pressure, just sayin.
Anyway, it's been quite a while since I did a post that was in any way artistic.
Sam is refusing to take any more pictures of me atm, (booooooo)... So here's a self-shoot I did after watching some turban tutorials on youtube...
I can't be bothered to list where all the jewellery came from- a few pieces are from Forever 21 and some of the rings are my friends.
I bought the material for the turban from an African shop in Upton Park (East London).
My lipstick is from Nars.
Toodles to you bitches xx

You Talk Way Too Much, You Talk Way Too Much, It's Only The End, It's Only The End As We Know It...
As i've acknowledged in the title, I 'talk' wayyyyyy too much in these posts sometimes so imma keep it short today....
This is how my room is getting on decorating wise....
Still some stuff to do but we're nearly finished...
Would be nice to have a little art hanging up but hey...
Patience is a virtue etc...

- The right hand side wall
- The clothes rail
- The carpet- no we didn't choose it but i'm quite fond of it anyway
- Outdated methods of entertainment, Hookah, Vintage cases used as dressing table
- Fashion magazines, primarily Vogue UK
- New Pentax, Old Pentax
- Noticeboard
- Me, pretending to do nothing
What do you think?? I'm really happy with how it's coming together.
I'll probably do another, more detailed, interior post when we've finished.
Any ideas for cool twists we could add would be more than welcome!!
BTW if anyone's wondering why i've been posting so much these last few days it's cos I have a week off work and i'm trying to make up for months of blog neglect, ha.
Toodles to you bitches xx

My Black Fire's Burning Bright Maybe I'll Go Out Tonight, We Can Paint The Town In Blue...
So there is quite a history that built up to today's post... Sit down and get comfortable kiddies, i'm gonna tell ya a little story...
In the summer of last year I entered a give-away on a blog for two pairs of earrings. I didn't really consider the fact that i'd let my ear piercings heal up a few years ago and didn't think I had any chance of winning... but a few days later I received an e-mail that I had in fact won... Wooooooo... but hold on, how could I wear the beautiful earrings that were travelling across the Atlantic to me with no holes to hook them through?!
So I resolved it was time to get my ears re-pierced and needlessly-long story short, a year later I put my fear of ear piercing guns aside and did.
I'd kept my earrings safe and sound in their boxes and now, finally, I can wear them.
This is my favourite pair, they are in the shape of Africa and painted with a leopard print...

- Tank- Brick Lane
- High waisted knickers- American Apparel
My one qualm with these photos is that they look like we shot them against a screen, or copied and pasted me onto the background when we actually just shot them against our recently painted blue bedroom wall. Oh well.
What d'you think of the earrings?? I can't wait to wear them out!
*This isn't directly related to this post but this has been nagging at me for a while now- my tumblr zizziswardrobe contains almost all of the pictures I post here on my blogspot... So while I am grateful to people using my pictures on their tumblr's it'd be helpful if you could check my tumblr before posting anything and reblogging my pics from there if you can find them rather than posting them yourself. This helps me to promote both of my blogs (tumblr and blogspot) and keep better track of where my page views are coming from.
If you can't find the picture you want to use or are posting the pic on a blog, feel free to post it yourself but please always include a link to either my tumblr page or my blogspot and if it's a blog please let me know you've used the picture. Sorry to rant but it's necessary.*
K, i'm off to watch Solange's 'Losing You' video... AGAIN!!
Toodles to you bitches xx

I Don't Know Why I Fight It Clearly We Are Through... Tell Me The Truth Boy Am I Losing You For Good??...
I know this is a few days old now but i've only just seen the finished product of Solange's fantastic video for 'Losing You' and it would be a crime not to post it.
Everyone knows how much I love Solange, she's been a major inspiration with my hair choices and I think her style is one of the best. I've been playing this on repeat as every time you watch it you pick up on some detail you missed the first, second, or in my case 35th time you watched it.
The cinematography is incredible. The fashion is flawless. The location (Cape Town) looks amazing and of course the song is great too.
As you can probably tell i'm very impressed but what do you make of Solange's latest offering?? Are there any clothes you wish you could steal from the video?? I want EVERYTHING but the shorts, patterned top and cardigan look she's wearing in the doorway is just something I need to be emulating ASAP! PATTERNSSSSSSSSSSS!!
And isn't the girl with the long braids a blogger?? I swear i've seen pictures of her before.
Toodles to you bitches xx
