BUILD IT INTO PINNACLES AND SHRINES

It's quarter to two in the morning and I felt like making like an organised shrine out of some of my stuff on my windowsill. Taking the photos was a little bit risky because the shutter's really loud and everyone in my house is in bed, but no one came into my room complaining of a ruckus so I guess I'm okay. Looking at my little organised half of my windowsill is very satisfying, but the rest of the windowsill is kind of where everything went when I was making room for this, so it's not as organised but I shall work on it tomorrow because it's the summer and going out involves effort. Each of the headbands here are the ones that I made, the disco ball is something my sisters and I have had for a long time, the light up skull is from Sainsbury's from a Halloween long ago, mini chest of drawers I don't know. Same goes for the transparent box, I think it came with hairbands and stuff in it but no one was using it so now it is my jewellery box. I got the bubble gum dispenser one Christmas and it's amazing and the best thing is that I made money out of it, but now I have run out of bubblegum so I filled it with random crap that I couldn't figure out what to do with the first time I cleared out my room like a year ago. I found that little pink bead bracelet today and I think a friend made it for me years and years ago, anyway I thought it was really cute and it's the same with the Hama bead heart. Hama beads are the best. That copy of Slimeball Comics was sent to me when I ordered the Japanese Voyeurs B Sides and Rarities CD and I put my copy of Weetzie Bat there because I felt that it went with the whole feel of it. The flower headband around the disco ball is one I did not make (DUN DUN DUNNNN), it was braided into my hair like a crown when my friend and I were early for an MGMT gig at the O2 Brixton Academy, and the staff just randomly started doing peoples' hair with flowers in to kill time because we were so early. The transparent strips of pictures of Disney princesses came with a tracing kit thing my sister had, but I kept them in case I might use them again and I have proved my past self right, I love it when that happens. 


To relate to the title of this post in a different way, the new Purity Ring album is unreal and I just bought tickets to see them in November for like £12 GO ME. This is one of my favourite songs it makes me feel so many emotions all at once. 

FEET SHOES

Yeah, I made Comme des Garcons rip off shoes. I had some Topshop boots that were starting to bore me and I thought feet shoes looked really cool so I just painted it with acrylic then sprayed shoe protective spray over the top because I am too lazy to get leather paint (it's like £7 NO THANKS). I've been making loads of stuff recently because all my exams are over so I have nothing to do except make stuff, which is a good use of my time really. Take a gander at the headbands I made, I'm going to wear them to Latitude which I am going to ON THURSDAY. 

I'll probably take pictures at Latitude, so I might post them if I feel my ego can take the rejection of no one commenting. HAPPY TRAILS FRIENDS

REBEL GIRL YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF MY WORLD

Bleached/ripped shirt, shiny skirt & Jeffrey Campbell tardy boots - even if I do say so myself, I love this combination. Wearing shiny things makes me happy. ISN'T THIS SKIRT THE BEST? It is my favourite thing in my wardrobe right now. When I feel sad, I think about my skirt. When I feel like I look too boring, on goes the skirt. When I just want to twirl and feel pretty, SKIRT. It can solve so many problems, it really can. 

These Jeffrey Campbells I got for like half price and I couldn't not get them because I had been wanting some for a long long long long timen and HALF PRICE. Man, do I know how to shop. 

Right now I am sensing the beginning of an obsession with Rebel Girl by Bikini Kill, it is such a good song. It's the perfect thing for me to be listening to right now as it helps me vent all the anger and frustration that sprouts as a product of endless hours of revision. I'm not even revising that much, it's just that I HATE science. But this song, it gives me energy and hope and oh you guys I think I might cry just listen to the song. 

SURFIN' USA

Since my art exam finished I have been giving myself a 'well deserved break', despite the fact I still have all my other exams ahead of me. In the past week I have watched The Graduate, The Virgin Suicides, Heathers, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and The Truman Show - all of which are now in the long list of my favourite films. I don't know if you can see in these photos, but my socks actually kind of almost sort of match my top and it made me feel so coordinated.  There is a surfing dude on my top, and I love the Beach Boys THUS the title of this post. Also, my cat crept in to say hello so that's her tail peeping in the bottom of the third picture, she loves to get in the way of absolutely everything. I apologise for the lack of effort and writing in this post I am MEGA tired after a busy weekend of doing nothing. 

BLUE MONDAY

DO YOU GET IT
because i am wearing blue
and it is monday
i love making jokes to myself.
anyhoo today was just another school day fvgsyjvkdfiukjcvheo89sdiufh (that is how I feel about school. I say that now, but I know I am going to be an emotional mess when I leave) but I got to wear my new dress from etsy yaaaaaaaaay. It's so flowy and preeetty and the lady that sent it to me also sent a little thank you card with it which made my day. 
Also, I just got a tumblr and I would love it if all zero of my followers would take a looky here. 
Now let's jam to Blue Monday by New Order just to remind you of my oh so funny joke  

SCHOOL DAY

So today was just a boring school day, but it was the first day of wearing no uniform for my year so I celebrated with a dinosaur T-shirt. 

I love my new chunky shoes from Rokit, they hurt like a bitch but so completely worth it.

I felt a bit like Andy from The Devil Wears Prada today with my long skirt and chunky shoes.

A PRODUCTIVE DAY OF PROCRASTINATING

 You know when you have so much to be doing that eventually you end up doing none of it? That is my day/week/life in a nutshell. I DID take some photos for art today but unfortunately I cannot show them off because 1.) I have no followers to show off to 2.) I'm pretty sure my sister would be against me displaying her face all over my blog, especially when I painted her face to make her look like she was just beaten up. 


I decided to do something creative to procrastinate today so firstly I made THIS beauty of a headband.

Basically, I ordered 32 fake roses off eBay for £8.99 (£8.99 WHAT) and they came today and I got a little bit over excited and made this headband. I think it looks like a crown I FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS. 

I also made this in tribute to one of my favourite bands, Japanese Voyeurs, who are sadly no more. I wanted pictures of flowers as the background, but all the pictures I could find were kind of boring and I really couldn't be bothered to make a collage out of them and then those dinging bells from cheesy game shows when someone gets an answer correct rang through my head and I thought of Stella McCartney. To cut a long, boring and pointless story short, I remembered she did these flower collage things and so I used them = EFFORT SAVED. 
I love the song 'Get Hole' and you can listen to it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx4QxUoE05g. I sound like an advertisement.  
Also, please excuse my two little fingers at the bottom of the page.
