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...

  1. The right hand side wall
  2. The clothes rail
  3. The carpet- no we didn't choose it but i'm quite fond of it anyway
  4. Outdated methods of entertainment, Hookah, Vintage cases used as dressing table
  5. Fashion magazines, primarily Vogue UK
  6. New Pentax, Old Pentax
  7. Noticeboard
  8. 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

Cry Me An Ocean Build You A Boat Then Sail Away, If This Is So Difficult I Cannot Make You Stay...

Ciao bitches. How are you all?? 
I have been a lil busy of late- getting my tan on and looking for a new house to move into AWAY FROM THE OLYMPICS, hence the blogging dry spell...
Anyway, here I am again. Wearing the jumpsuit I dust off every Summer cos I still love it... In my latest reincarnation i've matched it up with a braids-incorporated turban, chunky belt, my round, blue sunnies and glossy orange lips...




  • Scarf- friend's
  • Glasses- Ebay I think?!
  • Jumpsuit- Retro Rehab
  • Belt- Clothes Show Live
  • Lips- Illamasque and Mac mix


Back soon

I'll Bring You Flowers In The Pouring Rain, Living Without You Is Driving Me Insane...

So in case anyone was wondering, the 'twist' I mentioned with my latest braids was just that I added a few blonde ones... Very exciting I know. Other than that they are essentially the same. Same length, I put them in in the same way and they're still 1B in the rest of my hair. However this time I have 60 plaits as opposed to the 35 I think I had last time- which, when considering their thickness and that both sides of my head are shaved and a bit at the back, is rather a lot...



Hoochie mama show your nana!!!!!... Swear my butt is shrinking though, very strange!!...





People are still always asking me if my hair is heavy. It's noticeable for the first day or two, then it feels completely normal!!...
So no, I do not have to walk around with my head tilted to the side tryna stop myself from falling over under the weight as people seem to think!!! Hahaha

I Could've Been A Princess, You'd Be A King, Could've Had A Castle And Wore A Ring...

I don't know how many of you read i-D but it's one of my favourite magazines. They have loads of great editorials and in the Pre-Spring issue I was especially struck by the stunning portraits of Chinese models photographed by the incredible Chen Man.
They've stayed on my mind since I bought the issue last month, might have to buy another one so I can tear a few out to stick up on my wall.

Here are my favourites...







Really love them, what d'you think??
You can have a look at all 12 portraits here, i'd highly recommend it.

Toodles to you bitches xx

Live Fast, Die Young, Bad Girls Do It Well...

Finally, after years of searching, I have a proper blue, blue lip pencil!!!!
Was messing around trying it on and ended up styling myself up like this... I've loved M.I.A. for years and have had the video for her new single Bad Girls on repeat since it came out- (if you haven't seen it it's at the bottom of the post- watch it!)- think that was my inspo today. 

 I'm liking the look so much I might actually redo this as a better shoot with my photography student friend in the studio next week, but for now you can have a look at these pics I snapped quickly in my bedroom...







  • Gold scarf- borrowed, friend's
  • Black headband- Primark
  • Floral crop top- Forever 21
  • Necklace- Forever 21

  • Cheeks- MAC mineralize blush in Gentle
  • Eyes- Maybelline gel eyeliner
  • Lips- Illamasque medium pencil in Debonair

Hooray for blue lips- may the Avatar comments on the streets of East London commence!!
Thought??
That's all i've got for ya today, don't forget to leave your blog links!!

Toodles to you bitches xx

Be Your Best Friend Yeah I'll Love You Forever, Up In The Clouds We'll Be Higher Than Ever...

Cold, cold, cold, cold!!!!!... I guess I shouldn't really be complaining, the English Winter is usually A LOT colder this time of year. Nevertheless it's still freezing to stand on the roof half naked on a cold, windy London evening!... (Took these yesterday).
Arsema was the photographer again, really thought I was gonna slip off this table and break my neck... Don't try this at home kids!!





Now i'm feeling so fly like a G6- sorry, couldn't help myself!!



  • Top- Forever 21
  • Skirt- Primark & DIY
  • Sunglasses- friend's
  • High waisted knickers- H&M
  • Hold ups- La Senza
  • Maroon lipstick- MAC


...So are you ditching your sheers until Summer or braving it through the Winter months as well??... I keep wanting to put some nice thick thermal under my sheer skirts but it feels like such a copout, gonna see how much longer I can take the Winter air biting my arse...

Toodles to you bitches xx

I Really Don't Like Your Skinny Jeans So Take Them Off For Me...

So me and Arsema were out looking for a greasy spoon to eat in a few days ago and stumbled across this cafe. Not quite greasy enough for my taste but what can you do??!! 
Well we snapped away as usual, or Arsema snapped whilst I sat looking uncomfortable as the waiter stared at us in fascination. Then we walked home. All very exciting... Witness the magical day here...













  • Barbour jacket- my friend's, thrifted
  • Black skinny jeans- Dorothy Perkins
  • Boots- Primarni
  • Glasses- Claire's Accesories
  • Bag- Primarni
  • Lipstick- MAC
Hope you're all leading happy mouse free lives. Unless you own pet mice.

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
