Then The Night Takes Over And There Is No One Else Around, Your Face In Broken Pieces, Don't You Look Down...

Hey, just a quickie to let you all know that I have a new Tumblr blog up...

Presenting- Zizzi's Faces

... Now don't go getting too excited ;) it's got exactly the same content you'd find going through zizziswardrobe.tumblr.com > About > My pictures... It's just in a nice lil portfolio layout so that you can find whatever picture of me you were looking for quickly and easily... So absolutely no excuses for reposting my photos on tumblr any more people!!

I'll still be just as active on my Zizzi's Wardrobe tumblr and i'll reblog all the portraits I post on Zizzi's Faces there anyway... It's basically just that Zizzi's Wardrobe is my general style, fashion and beauty tumblr and Zizzi's Faces is... Well, just a lot of pictures of me... Kinda like this blog minus my ramblings.

If you get chance have a look!

Toodles to you bitches xx

Cause If You're Not Really Here, Then I Don't Want To Be Either, I Wanna Be Next To You... Black And Gold, Black And Gold, Black And Gold...

This may be the first time i've ever had a title that's the lyrics to a song I REALLY don't like but it fit so well and black and gold are gonna play such a heavy part in my wardrobe this year that it might even become my Zizzi's Wardrobe theme song.

Spotted these lil black booty shorts in Forever 21 last week and had to snap them up- the material is so stretchy and they're high waisted so I know i'll be wearing them all the time with different jumpers, crop tops etc.

The necklace/belt was left here by my friend the other week, guess now it's no longer going to be a secret that i've been wearing it, haha... Can you believe the only place I went today was Tesco to buy a frozen pizza?!... Need to wear this outfit again somewhere worthy!!...

• Doc Martens- from a friend
• Tights- Primark
• Shorts- Forever 21
• Top- from a friend
• Necklace- a friend's
• Hat- Beyond Retro

How do you feel about black and gold?? 

Toodles to you bitches xx

These Chains You Bound Around My Heart, Complete Me, Baby, I Would Not Be Free...

There are two really irritating things about this post: 1- Althougthe seam is intentially in the middle of my leg, one of my stockings had rolled down a bit at the top and I didn't notice until I uploaded the pictures and 2- It looks like my last few pictures are crooked when actually it's my clothes rail that's crooked cos I don't have a hammer to knock it into place... 

Anyway, now that i've got that off my chest, here are today's photos... And look who figured out how to shoot full body shot self-portraits, heyyyyyy!

I wasn't really up to much today so my outfit's nothing special but these are the second pair of earrings I won in the give-away I blogged about a while ago (read the post here). I wouldn't really describe myself as much of a 'Rude Gyal' at all but I am Jamaican and they look pretty good with baggy clothing.

Still haven't completely figured out lighting and perfect focus yet but you'll just have to bear with me for that...

• Banana Republic jumper- Brick Lane Market
• Earrings- Zoe Love (think it's closed atm)
• Fishnet hold-ups- Primark
• Lips- MUA black kohl eyeliner filled and blended with Nars lipstick and Illamasque lipstick in Howl

Toodles to you bitches xx

Life's Too Short To Even Care At All... I'm Losing My Mind, Losing My Mind, Losing Control...

One of my greatest character flaws is impatience. I'm not impatient in every sense, I don't get annoyed easily or anything like that but when it comes to things like: learning new skills, waiting for a delivery to arrive or buying something I feel I need I can be ridiculously impatient- Once my mind is made up- I want things when I want them and that doesn't always work to my advantage...

That is why I still haven't learnt how to use my camera. 

My mind was set on being able to take better photos for my blog and in general, so when my friend offered to sell me his old camera at a reasonable price I emptied what was left in my bank account and bought it.... This was several months ago.

As hasty as i'd been with making the purchase, I was so impatient with learning how to use it that it's basically been sitting on my shelf collecting dust while I use my other (inferior) camera or borrow other people's for 99% of my photographs.

Well today I decided I was finally ready to take a deep breath and tackle it again. The quality difference between the Lumix i'm always using and the Pentax I should be using is like night and day. See for yourself...-

Even though i've obviously messed around with the colour etc, the first pic (and unfortunately the best one of the bunch) was taken with my Lumix...

All the rest were taken with the Pentax...

• Top- Ebay
• Leopard print bra- Next
• Chain- Forever 21
• Robe- from a friend
• Docs- from a friend
• Lipstick- in Trash by Illamasque

What a difference!!!

I've always wanted my blog to have big, clear, bright pictures on it, with better detail. More about my clothes, hair and make-up products and less about my stupid, unchanging face lol...

 Maybe with a bit of intense practice I can finally put my impatience aside, stop wanting to throw my camera out the window every time a picture doesn't come out how I wanted it to and make the adjustments here that i've been wanting to make for so long...

I feel my patience increasing slightly just saying that lol

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...

(Photographed by http://www.samueleapperti.com/)

• Africa earrings- Zoe Love
• 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
