more inanimate than amateur

could I just say that this is my favourite website? and that you should browse it whilst wearing something fancy and consuming an entire cheesecake. Envious facial expression optional.

my my my, what have we here

wow woah well wouldja look at that, it's been almost three months since I posted on here.
here are some photos of me pulling faces and ting.





I would not be surprised if there are none of you lovely readers left, but those of you that have stuck around  thankyouuu for remaining subscribed, I shall lob some content at ya very shortly

The last few months of summer were spent soaking up the lingering last rays of evening sunshine, wandering through the Yorkshire countryside, eating far too many of my mothers peanut butter cupcakes and generally wasting time in the best ways possible.
Since moving back down to Pompadomp a month ago I have moved into a beautiful (not visually, but in soul) terraced house with four brilliant housemates and despite the second year workload piling up I can already tell that its gonna be a good year. Those of you that have been reading my blog for more than a year will know I had a rough old time of it as a fresher but all that is changing ohh yeaahh

I'm gonna make these blog posts brief but regular, (hopefully with lots of pictures, be they photobooth or not, and I'll still use it to pile up arty things I like) and even if nobody reads them it will be nice to prove to myself that I don't always give up on everything ;)

Hope youre all well, I have of course been reading blogs as regularly as ever all summer

shouting lager lager lager


Mark Menjivar photographed the content of peoples fridges, as is, in the hope it reveals something about the owner. Accompanied by a job description, how many people live in the household, and a snappy one-line bio. See the rest here.

Innovative art, you guys! x

well honey, don't


the next thing I shall save my pennies for is something by The Kooples. My favorite brand to drool over at the mo. Simple silk blouses, cigarette jeans, modern cuts in rock and roll fabrics. Chic, French and classic. Any of these skirts would do peachy, but I've particularly fallen in love with these Wedges, a snip at £105. Best get pinching those pennies then...

"it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring"

adventures in Newquay.


me and my dysfunctional family style band of eight friends went for a week in seaside party town of the uk - Newquay, Cornwall.
There are no words for the amount of cider drunk, the hideously embarrassing encounters with locals/other holiday goers, the attractive faces we pull in photos, train journeys endured, and terrible songs listened to. We spent the week shouting catchphrases such as "flip flop time!", "duckface", and "possum fall!" at eachother, whilst avoiding our terrifying landlord and perving on lifeguards at the sunny beach.

Pics or it didn't happen.

dream yourself awake

 

I am going to set aside my jealousy of all the people who were at Glastonbury festival this weekend, one of my besties was amongst them & I would very much have liked to have joined her running around a field covered in glitter and mud.
BUT here is something cool and sweet. Resident Glastonbury photographer Jason Bryant took these photos of before and after a couple of famous glasto sights.  Enjoy the rest from earlier in the year, here.

watch out cos he'll steal your girlfriend

barry m lip paint in Baby Pink (until i can justify £22 for YSL rouge volupte!)



Made In Chelsea (trashy tv at its best. constantly tipsy posh people - it epitomises everything that I know I should hate, yet everything that i want to be. sad, but true!) 




Mumford&sons set at glasto (even if i did have to watch it on the tv rather than in the flesh)



hating:  summer solstice being over (means shorter days! feels a tad like we're giving up before summer has even started)


british weather! (2 days of sweltering heat followed by cool wind and rain. logical.)


but hey ho, on friday I am off on hols with the crew! Watch out Newquay, us midlanders are invading. Every so often Im reminded how good a bunch of friends I have. Although organising a holiday for eight people is crazy difficult, more of a military operation. I am thinking of putting it on my CV as managerial practice.
