She Figured If She Didn't Move No One Would Notice Her... Underneath A Winter's Sky Her Eyes Were Bright, Tonight Would Be Her Night...

We have no internet at home atm so this is a super quick, low-quality post!!!!...

Thanks for the lovely comments regarding my realllllll hair, I will get back to y'all when I have tinternet back (sic intentional, my family visited today, feeling very Northern right now)...

This is the camera I bought thanks to the advice of the wonderful blogger Sade, didn't use it for the pics in this post but will be doing so in the near future so hopefully I can finally start to step this up a bit quality wise...

• Jumper- Sam's
• Shorts- H&M

What d'ya think of my new braids??? They're thin and many so it's a slightly different look, i'm feeling it atm, though I did only plait them the other day- took the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy to do as well!!! Longggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!

And FYI, no, I don't like cats!!!!... I like Dawgssssssssss.... Sooooooooo...

Toodles to you BITCHES ;) xx

What Is REAL? What Is REAL Now? Am I Still? Am I Here Now? If I'm Still, Will I Feel Now??...

After braids questions the second most common thing people e-mail me about is my REAL hair, i'm not sure what's so interesting about it and i've posted pics with it before but i'm gonna quickly address the main questions in this post.

I took my braids out this week so that I could rest my hair and rebraid it. I pin it inwards for styling but you can get the general idea of what it's like from these pics Sam snapped the other day...

• Shirt- H&M
• Necklace- Forever 21
• Jeans- Bershka
• Shoes- Primark

• As you can see my natural texture has grown out a fair bit but I still have relaxed bits haunting me for an inch or 2 at the ends.

• I don't take a great deal of interest in hair type and categories etc but from what i've seen over the years on the internet and in magazines my hair is probably best described as a combination of  4a and 4b. It is combed out in the pics though so you can't see the curl pattern.

• When straight the longest part of my hair is now over 6 inches long 

• In terms of protecting hair when sleeping I have pretty much the same routine as when my hair is in braids- P.M. night time oil and a satin cap, only difference is I also plait my hair before putting the cap on to minimise knotting and breakage during the night.

For those of you who have asked questions i've addressed I hope this is helpful, if anyone else has anything to ask about my reallllll hair just leave it as a comment or e-mail me and I will add it to this post just below!!

Additional Q's

• Both sides of my head are shaved and about an inch of the back

If you're more interested in braids questions this post addresses all that! Off to work now. Boooooo.

Toodles to you bitches xx

I look quite manly in this photoset but hopefully the more I allow other people to take my picture, the less nervous and fugfaced i'll look when they do!!!... These were all taken and edited by Sam, you can look at his amazing website here ...
I take absolutely no credit for the idea of wearing tights as a top as i'm doing in these pictures... I saw it on my tumblr dash the other day and thought it was a great idea- imitation is the greatest form of flattery etc etc. Anyway, I put my own off-the-shoulder spin on it... Have a look...

• Top- DIY
• Leggings- Oldham St, Manchester (forgot the name)
• Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

• Shirt- H&M
• Necklace- Forever 21
• Shorts- Brick lane

London is actually really sunny today, for the first time in a LONG time, so i'm gonna go out and bask in it like a cat.

Money Is The Anthem Of Success So Before We Go Out, What's Your Address??...

So, no June posts at all... Very poor I know... In my defence I had a very busy month; Moved house TWICE (I live in Shoreditch now, yay) and started a new full-time job in Forever 21. Also i'm really hating 99% of my clothes atm and the few picture i've taken have been pretty crappy too... 

Including this one, which i'm only posting so that this isn't just a straight rant about how unsatisfied I am right now...

• Hat- Beyond Retro
• Basketball shirt- Vintage & DIY
• Shorts- Dirtyloves.com
• Hold ups- Primark
• Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

I also went to Lovebox festival the other week which was great, i'll do a post on that when I have time. Did anyone else go??

Anyway, i'm going to try harder this month to get at least one post out every week.

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

Oh Say Can You See My Stars, The Night Time Is Almost Ours...

So I finally went to the post office to collect my Dirtyloves shorts. Besides the obvious camel-toe potential i'm really happy with them. Looking forward to the weather being good enough to actually be able to wear them outside (did that sentence make sense? I'm really not sure)...

Assumed a bun like this wouldn't be possible with the length and weight of my hair, but I was wrong... all my hair fit in, no clips or bobbles necessary, it stayed secure for hours and it didn't strain my hair or weigh me down at all!!! Win...

• Top- Still a mystery item!!
• Shorts- DirtyLoves
• Waistcoat- Brick Lane
• Glasses- Primark
• Ring- Forever 21

That Mean I'm A High Roller, My Ex Wanna Work It Out- Bitch Try Yoga...

Y'know, my friends often tell me to get rid of this shirt- I've had it for years, it has a hole in it, frayed edges  and a few missing buttons, but I love it and don't think i'll ever throw it away... Even though it's usually in-house only these days and my friends use it as pyjamas when they stay over, I still occasionally find some new way to wear it...

• Shirt- Vintage on Oldham St
• Shorts- Brick Lane
• Necklace- Canny remember

Do you have any comfort clothes you refuse to get rid of even though people encourage you to chuck them??

...Love, love will tear us apart, again... One of my favourite songs for sure!!

Even though i've always found Creepers quite ugly shoes, I knew they'd be a great asset to my collection. 

They go with just about everything!!

So finally I have some and wear them all the time so expect to be seeing a lot more of them in future posts...

• Hat- Beyond Retro
• Glasses- Claire's Accessories
• Joy Division vest- a shop off Brick Lane I stupidly forgot to find out the name of
• Hold-ups- Primark
• Creepers- Ebay
• Lips- Illamasque
• 
  

There doesn't seem to be any middle ground when it comes to Creepers- people either seem to love them or hate them with a passion. Which camp are you in??

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

• Earrings- 1menaturally
• Top- Forever 21
• Bloomers- Beyond Retro
• Cheeks- Mac painstick in Nocturnal plum
• Lips- Mac paintstick in Nocturnal plum coated in Dior lipgloss
