Hoorah! a full week of narcissism!

That's it, I have showcased a full college week's worth of outfits. By the way I despise myspace with an absolute passion. So why the frickers am I doing a myspace angle here? Just trying to make it all arty and interesting. Failing.

Well I'm a sailor so that's nice. (Otherwise a rather boring outfit, I am wearing a skirt as a top (the grey creation) No florals! though) Sailors wouldn't wear denim though. Imagine the chaffing, wet denim's a bitch.

I'm going to pretend I didn't want these to match up. I blame the damn leap year. I didn't propose to anyone today. I did get a Kinder egg from my drama teacher as she had a go at us yesterday and she felt bad about it. The play we're doing called Kindertransport, you see the amusing egg connection. I play a German mother called Helga and I have to do a German accent. I sometimes can't actually believe the sounds coming out of my mouth and the fact that I'm actually being serious. Honestly I sound ridiculous, I think its a cruel joke as I'm only one of two who have to do the accent. Rude.

Razzle Dazzle 'em

Funday Monday! I went out on the old razzle on monday night for like the second time ever, which explains the look of nervousness in my eyes on this photo. I am under 18 you see so very nervous i was but all went fabulously in the end. I went with the two silver legged people above, they decided to go rave, but only on the legs it seems. They literally asked me to come 50 minutes before they were leaving, anddd i needed a shower! T'was a crazy 50 minutes but we got through thank goodness.
My outfit wasn't exactly 'Wow!' but i didn't want to stand out too much because of the nerve factor so i went for black tights, denim shorts (which were short shorts-a scary experience in itself, i never wear short shorts!) and a gold and black sequined top that my Gran gave me a few years back.
And the hair, oh the hair, that is a whole different story. it decided to be the frizziest it has ever been that night, but we attempted to work with it anyway, by plaiting the front and back combing a bit. I actually turned out all right, this photo doesn't exactly support that, but honestly it did. The next day though I saw Susan and friends and they all laughed in my face at my hair as it had grown even more, if possible!
All in all it was a very successful night! Me and Suse shall hopefully be going out at Easter, there's just the ridiculously important question of what to wear? We can't wear anything too special to us as we wouldn't want any ruination going on. We have a few weeks to decide so that should be just about enough time. And we will most definitely informing you of what we end up wearing of course!

Sincere apologies for the hideous photo, i bet your thinking 'How did she get in?' and i would be thinking the same thing! I'm the one in the middle, Sister B on the left and Friend on the right.



Wear your own clothes bitch.

This dress belongs to a close personal friend. The shirt underneath is mine. My that's one see-through jumper, lucky I like to layer hey. I inadvertently channeled Victorians today. I hope this doesn't become an issue.

Just wore purple skinnies on my legs. Nothing, got up late and it was chilly. Not like that ever stops me. I care not a jot for mere weather when fashionability is at stake.
Oh my god why am I lumpy??!! (top pic, right side, what the frick is happening there then?)

I'm addicted.

To florals. Don't say I'm not hardcore.


I'm worried I'm confused what season it is, like animals who aren't sure when to hibernate, is it spring, is it winter? they don't know what's going on. The wind was whipping up a storm today, and my skirt.

I've never been so drawn to grey.

Balenciaga has arrived! This is the one I was looking forward to, the big one you might say. I think its more of a grower this one, like the S/S collection was. He likes his structure does old Nicholas. I love how you can always see how he has developed his ideas, you can see how he has really thought about shape and pattern and mixed them up in new exciting ways. I could go a bit over the top but seriously, it makes me happy. Look at the different patterns, how they are placed on the body and how the shapes of the material restucture the figure. His creativity makes my brain happy.

And Viktor and Rolf. I've never looked in detail at their collections, I like how they make unusual and interesting choices but there fondness for monochrome makes my brain switch off, though to be honest it doesn't take much. But I'm highly intrigued by this collection. Just say NO kids...

It's all about composition. Often it's how outfits are put together rather than actual pieces, but if the styling, ideas and amazing pieces are all there. Well, I shan't be complaining.

So its off to the 80's safari kids!

Jacket on: 'You look like you're from the eighties'

Jacket off: 'Are you going on safari?'

I cannot win.


Err I need new curtains.

I'm going to go for a chop. My hair is too much of a hassle, Its been long to a ridiculous extent for nearly 3 years and I'm quite frankly bored. I have faced some adversity though, some people who like hair, mine in particular, are outraged. They want me to let them have it for extensions. Is there a charity I could donate it too? I think this is weird. Pamela is getting a fringe, I have been pestering her like you wouldn't know to get one and finally she had caved.


I'm worried I will feel a sense of loss and nakedness though....I'm thinking shoulder length, more of a side fringe........

Thank you unknown Maison Martin Margiela model with nice hair. The collection was interesting but I feel he didn't push himself as far as he could (god I sound like a school report) but then again maybe it's better that way, not too extravagant, subtley strange. Heckers what do I know.
Entirely unrelated, Paris Hilton is going out with Benji madden, Nicole Richie's husband's brother. I suspect Paris gatecrashed some kind of family picnic and thought she'd have a bit of what Nicole's having, a Madden lad if you will.

I see purple people

The zip was broken on this dress so it was reduced to £2.50, then it turned out it was buy one get one free so Pam got a top so it was £1.50 in the end. Turns out there's a reason people don't buy clothes with broken zips, it was rather difficult to repair. Not that I actually did anything. My friend unpicked it and Pamela sewed up the hole. Turns out I needed the zip though. It's noq quite the squeeze to get on. Let that be a lesson to me.
My friend was also wearing a very similar pair of blue tights today. We keep dressing similarly. Pamela was going to wear blue tights aswell, imagine the horror. Some kind of psychic connection..... about clothes.
Download 'That's Not My Name' by the Ting Tings. NOW NOW NOW! I defy anyone not to love it.

The many sides to Susan

I dress up a bit every now and then, I think it stems from my childhood. My nan made me some awesome costumes such as a mermaid number including a green, shell-shaped bikini top and matching 'tail', it made me waddle something chronic. So this is what one young evening consisted of: Florals, jumpsuits and librarian chic:

Some influence behind the outfits, there is an unhealthy amount of Chloe Sevigny pictures here but I just can't help it.

A bit of a YSL angle...


We all know it, most of us love it. There's a new load out but this was the original. I'm building it up too much, and Kate looks more than a little disturbed I personally think. Just because I'm all about the narcissism (this is odd because in normal life I hate having my photo taken, this is why you will rarely or never see my face here) I decided to make today's outfit post a little different. I need to be more adventurous. I think the mirror frame ties in nicely with the spring trend for florals. I just remembered I have a giant window..... One day I will photo Pam through it, in the real YSL style, see what happens...
It was chilly enough to freeze your barnacles today. I'm not entirely sure what I mean by that but anyway by golly it was cold. I braved tights like the fool I am but in time honoured tradition I layered up. I also wore my lovely Topshop military coat which I DID NOT get it the sale in which it was reduced to HALF frickin PRICE. Whenever I spend more than usual it goes horribly wrong, I lost a metallic bomber jacket from Topshop in Primark just before Christmas. £30 it was. This is why I like my bargains.

I now shop all the time.

Everywhere we go we manage to turn it into a shopping experience. Even college. And its not like our college is in town, its in a village. Usually we only venture to the co-op in our free periods (which we did today and bought a chocolate cake, 89p I sincerely reccomend it, the swiss roll is lovely too, and the victoria sponge, all under a pound. Yes we have sampled them all.) Anyway today we had 2 hours with nothing to do, work you say? Don't be silly. So off we popped to the village charity shop and my what we did find! All this for £1.45, I think the scarf and belts were 60p each the purse was 25p!! (this does not add up but I got confused)And inside it says Purseonality, I would have bought it just for that! The little old ladies in the shop were excellent and rather amusing. My aim is to befriend them.


I'll tell you it was frickin chilly today and I didn't have a coat, left it in Liverpool at my nan's, fool I am. Sort of went for the grunge look today. Changed my belt when I bought the new one as it looked better, and Pam stole the one I was wearing. Rude.

Haha my room is a bin. Yep.
