"sick of being someone he did not admire,
took apart his old things, and set them all on fire,
he's gonna change, change his ways.
and it feels like his new life can start,
and it feels like heaven."

paolo was right.
I think I have decided what I'm wearing tonight. I think. No I have, I have. New shoes, is this a painful mistake? Vodka and squash, and it's 'Anything But Clothes' night at Liquid but I am clearly wearing clothes, and if anyone thought I was going out in a binbag they can SING FOR IT.
Today I ate too much Nandos with course mates and things went back to normal.
also, tumblr, if youre interested
BIG LOVE

Candy Chang
Candy Chang is an artist who took over the side of an abandoned house in her neighbourhood in New Orleans. Chalk is left out for passers by to compete the statement "Before I die...____"
The house has since been bought but she talks of popping up the project in other places now.
See the rest of the photos and read the updates here.
I think this is so special!

a victory for the kids who believed in rock and roll
If any of you are university/college age people, or even beyond, do you know what you'll be doing as a job in the future? Cos I certainly don't! And I pretty much felt like the only one growing up, surrounded by kids with concrete job aspirations. Of course now I realise that most of the people around me only have a vague idea of the job they want, if that. And maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on career - I know its not the most important thing in the world. But I do think being happy is important.
So, blow it, if it all goes wrong here are my outrageous bank-busting back up options ;)
(also read: dream plans)
1. Village Pub
It is a fact of life that I have watched too much Corrie over the years, but this means that I am slightly obsessed with the idea of running a pub and living above it. The pub could be anywhere doesn't have to be a village, in fact in a slightly unhinged/romanticised way I wouldnt mind a slightly scummy street corner pub! But being the softie I am for a village green, pretty church and slow pace of life, this would pretty much be my dream job!
2. Vintage Boutique
I'm sure the current (last 2/3 years?) fad for vintage clothing will fade soon (and as an avid vintage fan hopefully this means the pricing will go back to normal!) but I hope there is always a market for good quality vintage. But I'm no snob; repro or vintage inspired modern pieces have just as much of a place and sometimes are even more perfect! I'd love to offer some kind of personable, glamorous service a la Lucy In Disguise haha (side note: have you seen their website? now that is a website)
3. Tea Room
Maybe I could even combine this with the one above, and have a cute lil tea room in the corner of a vintage boutique? (The mothership would love that haha). I remember being introduced to tea rooms on our many family holidays to Scotland as a child, being given sweet meringues with cream! As a grown up with a mild to moderate tea obsession I can now seriously appreciate a good pot of English Breakfast tea and a toasted teacake.
Anybody else have secret dream jobs? Or not so secret in my case!! haha
This was a bit of a cop out post. I'm going to write something good soon *pinkypromise*
I have a few exciting days ahead, but I must stop procrastinating and battle through this uni coursework first! Good luck anyone with exams!!
big love

screaming rule britannia
oh yeahh so I'm 19 now waaaaaaaaa
I am a very lucky girl, with an adorable and generous family, and friends who are willing to dress up in togas, on my whim. :) That was a couple of nights ago, it was a crazygood night in the wootown. On my actual birthday yesterday there happened to be an Italian market in town so I popped down to buy some stuffed olives and eat local ice cream, then after an old school birthday tea with my increasingly hilarious grandparents, we just watched old movies with a glass of wine haha I'm so freaking rock and rolllll

In Other News...
Would just like to go on record and say that I was completely swept up in royal wedding mania this weekend! Watched it with (and with a hilarious commentary may I add courtesy of) my rents and a friend I had over. There was tongue in cheek discussion over whether the Queen was in 'primrose' or 'sherbet lemon', my mum pretended to know who Sarah Burton was, there were comparasons between my dads eyebrows and those of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and speculation about Prince Harrys best man speech / bachelor status. But despite all the fun we were having (and the cake. don't forget the cake) Kate looked truly breathtaking, naturally graceful, and it was a moment that made you proud to be British.
