Americana.





Well Im pretty far behind on this, I took these photos in April, but yeah, Americana. I adore it. Also this top was an awesome find in the mens sale section in River Island (I got the obligatory crazy look for being in the mens section) , got it in a large for £7, cant really see a guy wearing it but hey who knows! Denim jacket was a bargain find my my mother, £7 in the charity shop, I had been searching for a cheap won for ages, so it was a nice surprise when my mum came back with one for me! Since I last updated, I have been to Egypt, got very ill, went to Rockness (OMG The Strokes were AH-MAZING. And I always love The Maccabees), destroyed my HOH tights at Rockness and can no longer find any pairs, but more about all that later! Also those are one of my favourite pairs of sunglasses, got them on Asos in the sale about a year ago for £5. Love them! Love those Zara shorts too, gotta have me some studs!

Accessories Galore!


So I recently bought a pair of "Paparazzi" style GaGa glasses of the internet, which were sent all the way from LA and I absolutely LOVE them. My GaGa obsession is slowly spiralling out of control! Today the weather was crap, once again (we are never going to get a summer!), so I had to change my outfit from a nice wee shirt with a fairly swishy skirt, to my trusty DIY shorts and quite possibly one of my favourite tops ever. Today I felt like changing my rings up a bit, so I took off all my regular rings and decided to put them on one of my necklaces just so I didn't lose them, but I quite like it! It was quite nice wearing big chunky rings again today, although I find that sometimes people seem to be a bit intimidated by them like I'm about to punch them in the face. It's peculiar, I'm not going to hit anyone! I went shopping today and I've since realised I didn't buy ONE thing from the womans sections in all the shops I went to ahah! I ended up going to the River Island Men's section where everyone looked at me like I was absolutely crazy, but I got some absolute bargains in the sale! Two cardigans for £12 each and 2 t-shirts for £7. I also bought a very plain but very cosy black mens hoody from h&m for £20 pound which will most likely be worn to death! I may post some pictures of my buys soon, but I am currently drowning in uni work! Also, Im getting the urge to paint t-shirts just now, but like I said I should really get my uni work done!

Pink, leather & lace


My first ever outfit photos, apologies for the crap photos, I didnt realise that taking full body shots would be so difficult to do ahahah, it ain't easy to fit the whole of me in my camera! Also the first 2 photos were taken in my mums room, the mess is not mine! I was attempting a slight grunge but a little bit girly (the pink top&nails) look today because the sun was shining. Never trust the sun in Edinburgh though, I was bloody freezing in those tights! It was also the first outing for my newly customised old trainers!


Top-Topshop, Jacket-Superdry, Skirt-Warehouse, Tights-Topshop, Shoes-Customised and I have no idea where I originally got them from!

Studs at 4am.


I was wrestling through my very un-organised shoe collection recently, just for the hell of it, and came across these really old tatty pair of fake leather converse rip-offs. I loved these shoes, super comfy but they look rather boring. I also remembered that I've had a bag full of old studs which I pain-stakingly took of two very emo belts I used to own thinking I would use them for something eventually! Eventually happened aha! So yeah, started studding these trainers, I had to press each stud in to place to imprint the fake leather and then cut through each imprint with a scalpel. Then I pushed the studs through and bent the spokes (is that the word...?) with a pair of studs making sure they were properly attached to the shoe. (I know the second photo is pretty lame, but I just wanted to show what the side of the shoe looked like before!) I am super happy with them, even though it took an age and my fingers are pretty messed up (I was half asleep when I finished them, 4am scalpel in hand-not the best idea!) I am considering continuing the big studs all the way down the tongue to the plastic toe cap, although I dont have enough studs just now so I'd have to go on a hunt to find the right sized ones..



I have also decided to add a "song of the day" on my blog, even though I rarely update it, I will try though!
Soooo todays is....

Song of the day
The Killers-Midnight Show (Acoustic) (which I can only seem to find on youtube..!)
