Birthday Wishlist



Acne leather jacket / American Apparel Disco Pants  / Kitty Pants  / Double Strap Heart Garter / Swim suit / Black ankle boots / Melissa aqua shoes / Shoes / Mel Blue Toffee Apple Pumps / Disney Couture Jewelry / Hello Kitty iPhone case / Beanie hat  / Black hat  / Nintendo 3DS XL Special Edition Console with Pre Loaded Animal Crossing / Disney Couture Icon Snow White Opening Treasure Chest Ring / Luella's Guide to English Style Luella Bartley / Moomin Flask Woodlands / Halfords | Pendleton Somerby Hybrid Bike - 17"


I'm not sure how to tackle this as there's loads of stuff so I'm just going to go clockwise from the bottom and ramble about things.


VW Mel boots: I want these boots so that I can wear them every time it rains and be happy rather than sad that I'm going to look like a drowned rat when I reach my destination. 
✧ Mel Toffee Apple shoes: Everything in my life is blue at the moment. Except my shoes. I want more blue shoes.
 Disco Pants: I've wanted a pair for a couple of years now and these mint ones are probably super impractical because I'll get them dirty as soon as I put them on but everyone has black ones and I want to be a snowflake.
✧ Kitty pants: I don't need to explain why I want these. The rest of the stuff in this collection (feat. bears, pink bunnies and bodysuits) is just as adorable. Go check it out.
 Anything at all from the Fast Food Paperchase collection: Once it's gone it's gone and I want all of it to furnish my Peter Pan house (no I will never grow up and stop loving food with faces).
✧ Topshop sandals: Someone's solarized me and I've gone from all black everything to pastels, white and sunshine. I also really want some Mary Jane dolly shoes. These tick all the boxes.
 Nintendo DS XL - Animal Crossing special edition: I know I really don't need this but I recently started playing Animal Crossing again and this is just so cute. I'm totally romanticising this and looking at it as a mini laptop/PDA (I don't think it has the functionality of that at all and that's exactly what my phone is) but I've come *so* close to buying this on credit so many times the past few days, and that's something I swore I'd never do. Nintendo's got a dangerous hold on me.
✧ Various jewellery: Disney Couture - the range has been flagging a bit recently but there's still been a few things that make me wanna cry cause they're so beautiful, including these. Unicorn ring - duh. Fuck off necklace - because sometimes people need an extra hint. Burger ring - If my boyfriend wants to marry me ever, then this is the ring I want to be presented to me when he proposes. Preferably on top of a cheeseburger. The company that makes these also make customisable necklaces where you choose the fillings and you can even put little top hats or bows on top. Sometimes I question humanity, things like this restore my faith.
✧ Moomin flask: I never get time to finish my tea before I leave the house & the take away cup I have is great unless I need to walk super fast to get to the station (which is always) and then it just splashes all over my hand/arm/sometimes face so I'd like a thermos so I can just chuck it in my bag and drink it on the train. Also Moomins. 
✧ Bike: I can't work out if this is a good idea or not. I need to exercise more and feel like bike riding might be a nice way to do that & a cheap way to get around, however I went out bike riding with my Dad for the first time in what must be about 10 years and spent most of the 15 minutes we were out with my feet on the floor pushing myself along. I eventually got myself going but I don't think I could ride on roads, I'd be straight under a bus.
✧ Swimsuit: Like bike riding, I haven't been swimming in a very long time. I think I was 17 the last time I had reason to put on a swimsuit and whilst I might not have grown much since then, I think it might be time to retire the bikini that never really fit that well in the first place. This style is really classic and I'd wanna wear it off the beach too!
✧ Garters: I went through a little phase a few years ago where I got brave enough to wear suspenders & stockings out but the hassle of going to the loo, (are you meant to put them over or under your underwear? I don't know) meant it was short lived. However, these are beautiful and seem a lot more practical.

✧♡ Come on Barbie, let's go party ♡✧


Gold rope chain - Cancer Research, Barbie long sleeve crop top - eBay, high waist acid wash Levis - Urban Outfitters, black hi top Nikes - Outlet


Since finding my mum's no doubt CD's around the age of 13, I've been super in love with Gwen Stefani & she's always been a big influence on how I dress. She's the reason I bleached my hair when I was 17 and first dared to wear red lipstick. I think she might have even been partly responsible for me falling for pin up style. 
After having black hair for two years, I needed a change, and not being one to do things by halves, I went blue. Since then I've found myself channeling 90's Gwen Stefani as you may or may not be able to tell. Ha. xo

Flower headband, polka dot pinafore & white socks - Primark, long sleeve black top - GAP, Dr Martens 1461's

I picked up this really cute little 90's style print pinafore dress today. Aside from basics, I don't go in to Primark a lot, but when I do go in I always have to go check out what's in the kids section! I'm usually a 6-8 but apparently I have the build of a 12-13 year old girl. If it means I can pick up cute dresses like this for £8, I'm totally fine with that. 

I also cut a whole load of my hair off today! I was going to wait and get it done properly, but as I always I got impatient and just went at it with my cheapo hair dressing scissors. It's kinda 1960's bouffant-esque and minus 3 inches of split ends, it looks a lot healthier!

✿ Gunning for Summer, stuck in Spring ✿



Cropped fur coat & body suit - Forever 21, gold rope chain & netball skirt - charity shop, super sparkly ring & pink pastel socks - Primark, Dr Martens 1461s


I've been co ordinating everything with my hair since dying it and there's been so many things at work that I've been tempted by. I'm in love with this bodysuit, it looks like it should be vintage and the colours in it are just perfect. The photo doesn't show them very well but my socks are the same pink as the bodysuit. They were a 4 pack of pastel colours from Primark and ideal for adding the finishing touches to an outfit. 

More pre emptive summer purchases - all from Forever 21

Summer has been taking it's sweet time arriving but I'm hoping for a late summer so it's nice and sunny for Bestival!

Cat sitting



Sunglasses & dress - Forever 21, sweatshirt - re-homed from a friend (I forgot to give it back), socks - Primark, shoes - Urban Outfitters

This week I have been cat sitting for my Dad while he's on holiday. We've had some beautiful sunshine, yet I've still managed to look like a total princess of darkness. Not the most exciting of outfits but I've got the ombre thing going on with my hair finally!

L to R: Rat eats cat food as cat sits and watches, cat is kept out of the way after proving useless in rat catching attempts

Whilst at my Dads, we had a bit of a Tom and Jerry style fiasco with Mog and a rat that was running rings round her after she brought it in to play. She was literally sat watching it as it ate her food, it then ran through her legs and jumped in to one of my Dad's work boots. We had to shut her in the house so we could go and release it outside without her bringing it straight back in again (which she still managed to do later on anyway).

China Town

Untitled #8


Black bobble hat - New Look, oversized cut off shirt - eBay, tulle skirt - H&M, black glitter socks - Topshop, platforms - Office, gold chain - Claires


One of my favourite places in London is China town so when my boyfriend had a job interview in Soho so we decided to make a day of it and have a little impromptu date. We went for noodles, got bubble tea, had a look around the shops, got some cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon & went to the arcades in Leicester Square.
