girl and the party: 2011

shut up and dance.

it's nearly christmas mother fuckers and it's time to party.

you got left behind one night. supposed to be in the lost property. now you're mine.
you have a hole and are a little bit skanky. you were meant for a boy. and you are a little bit 90's. but i really like you anyway. i havent taken you off since. seems fine.

some girls have all the fuck.

~~i like your cherry sex.~~

i like ur face.

~~girlsontv~~ - mixed media collage. i did this. steal it and i will cut you.

now playing. a lot.

Nights Like Bonita by Icona Pop

well good.

and i quote.

"i really miss you. it's been 24 hours and i miss you"

feeling frilly.

untitled random sketchbook tear, for some project that i never finished, ages ago.
as usual steal it and i will cut you.

so i'm drunk. on affection.

(and probably mostly red wine)

Two Different Ways

Factory Floor - Two Different Ways.

mesmerising yeah.

you used to buy me flowers.

~~what happened to our times?~~

got told I was more-ish. a bit like crack. i think that's a compliment.

art shit.

Frieze art fair. 2011.
this was the one thing, which i rated.

she dumped him.

he said it was on his birthday. but that's a lie.

some of them came out okay.

i took these pictures. they are mine. i am not particularly pleased with them or proud of them for that matter. they are the best of a 36 exposure film. but nonetheless. steal them and i will cut you.

basic bitch

there just aren't any words to say other than that i'm embarrassingly obsessed with this track.

i can't stand the rain.

'beep beep. who's got the keys to the jeep.'

this weather seems un fine.

i want to drink you up.

keep seeing this burnt orange colour on all the chicks and in all the shops.
personally i don't rate it. i like to drink my orange not wear it.
but seems fine.

'i'm a pretty big colour right now if you hadn't noticed' pencil on paper.

silly old you.

'silly old cat face' - ink on paper illustration - steal it and i will cut you.

don't you want to kiss me.

no.

home town bound.

i always forget about how pretty home is.

eyes wide. shut.

i got some bins finally. and i can mother fucking see stuff. it's incredible. i've been missing out on some good things. like detail, facial expressions and everyday life for a long time.

quite a lot of mad things have happened to me recently.

and it's made me quiet. i'm mostly sorry at myself for that.

street sitting. street drinking.

keeping it forever classy at Hackney Wick-ed.

the stench of ck one makes me want to be sick.

just saying.

to have. and. to hold.

stunning.

i'm not the relationship type let alone marriage. but the Givenchy couture gowns make me wanna get dressed up and march down the aisle with the next boy that even looks at me.

i have two secrets.

but i only told you one.

dream girls.

keeping it casual, some inspiration for a saturday night raving taken from the Dior couture show. lol.

the boy said to the girl.

'don't you ever get bored of partying'

no.

crush.

i heart freja for chanel.

i want to be a cat. i want to wear chanel. i want to look like freja.

i don't want much.

i am a shadow.

my eyes hurt. and i am half here.

split ends.

i wish my hair was better. more like the above maybe.

all time low.

i can run. but i can't hide from this one.
quite bad.

i didn't mean to disappoint you. i'm just sorry that i did.

really old polaroid. re-presented. recently.

get over it.

i'm not in love with you. we just kissed one time.
or two.

its quite annoying that

i liked street drinking with you and that i lost my nose stud when we made out.
also that i lost my purse on the bus on the way home. but an honest person found it and made getting it back to me, their sunday mission. very lucky. too lucky. must. must be more careful.

('i liked street drinking with you, i lost my nose stud when we made out' - mixed media illustration steal it and i will cut you)

~~i take back every word i said.~~

future forecast.

yesterday, quite randomly, i had a 'reading' by a clairvoyant type, someone my mum knows but apparently doesn't know anything about me so wasn't influenced as it were. for the record i didn't ask for this 'reading' either she just started telling me things and in the words Tim Westwood she 'dropped bombs' one 'bomb' in particular - apparently there's unfinished business with the ex boy. she said his name, told me his profession and some other basic things about him; she didn't know exactly what the history was. but when i filled her in that he was quite a prolific ex, she began to go on about how there was unfinished business and how it wasn't over, she also knew he was currently with someone else but that it is 'temporary and will pass'.
(that bit could be true, i mean his new girl might be 4 years my junior - better, she's no girl and the party fun times)!
she then went on to mention an 'Andrew': who he is or when i'll meet him wasn't specified but apparently i will have to choose between him and the ex boy.
how dramatic perhaps the ex boy is gonna crash mine and Andy's wedding and i'll have the decide at the altar.

or not. because this is probably all nonsense.

also apparently i'm going to have my own business.

watch this space mother fuckers.

what it says.

yeah i do xx

('i think you are WOW' - mixed media illustration steal it and i will cut you)

stolen kisses.

you stole a kiss, in fleeting final moments.

forget me not

('we danced to lcd soundsystem. it was good' - mixed media illustration)

i am

off to Leeds this
weekend to see my favourite face

let's stop hanging out.

so you can't break my heart.

('lets stop hanging out' - mixed media illustration - steal it and i will cut you)

i also made this playlist to make damn sure i don't change my mind.
"lets stop hanging out"

(what the fuck) floaty frocks

tore this out of Grazia a few weeks didn't i. i love the melancholy. all the grey. i just mostly like the dress. alot.

gang of hours

a little while ago Elena and I did a little project, under the name of gang of hours. feeling frustrated creatively we started making and designing jersey necklaces based on and evolved from a concept i'd had in the uni years. we did a shoot to document the whole thing. we had intended to take the project further and push forward with more collections and colour ways. but we both got kinda busy. bummer.

the gorgeous girl doing a mighty fine pout for us is Sophie. a massive bless her/ thanks too, for it was a very bright but deceivingly cold day. she's also totally rocking that absolute babe 90's thing i have a penchant for.

the wonderfully accomodating and v talented mister Charles Sheldon took the pictures for us. Check his shit here please.

Necklaces: Gang of Hours

Concept & Styling: Elena Picone and I

Photographer: Charles Sheldon

how not to end an evening

waking up in Hainault. the last tube back to civilisation long having been and gone. is not the one. to the then realise you have left your debit card in a pub in Soho along with your unpaid tab. is also not the one. and very distressing. you can't even actually begrudgingly pay for the over priced probably illegal mini cab home. i would not recommend this series of events as the end you want to casual Tuesday night drinks.
thank fuck for Addison Lee and the kind pal who sorted it.

mind your own business.

"can I have a taste of your ice cream. can I lick the crumbs from your table. can I interfere in your crisis... no, mind your own business."

pure brilliance from Delta 5. love this track. someone in the youtube comments described it as handsome and i think i totally agree. been somewhat obsessed with it since some one played it to me at a dinner party recently. granted everyone else was somewhat older than me at said dinner party but that made it super interesting when it came to music discussions. i was asked to compile a playlist to accompany the evening and i'm not gonna lie it went down pretty well (if you have spotify get it here) so we did a YACHT, Trash Kit, Cults for Delta 5 and Television trade off. pretty fair swap i should say.

wish i could find a better video or if this is the proper video i wish it was better. tried to find some live footage of this song too again didn't have much luck. found this rad picture though. wouldn't look out of place partying in Dalston with us this weekend, right?

total love forever

love at first sight. i could only be talking about my new shirt and not some silly boy. proper old school 'Mosch' vibes from the Love Moschino range. i laid eyes on it and wasn't going to let it out of my sight again. i think it's just too good. also i'm loving the buttoned up kook at the moment, i'm trying to keep things modest. but the shirt is also over sized enough or i'm short enough for it to be worn as a dress with very opaque opaques. win. but perhaps not so modest. guess it evens out.

I couldn't help but accessorise it with my ornate black metal collar necklace.
which i have decided instantly adds a certain je ne sais quoi to anything and everything in my wardrobe. that said it was an absolute steal costing me all of £4 from Primark of all places and people never fail to comment on it, whenever i wear it. weird right. its funny how you can just pick something up on a whim and it turn out to be the perfect accessory.

shopping for shirts and always for jokes.

google this.

so Alice painted my nails again. yay. again of course couldn't resist shopping for some more jokes with my design choice. so i have seemingly acquired 10 new google eyed friends to accompany me about my chores for a while. they are such fun and people can't help but be amused by them. especially boys which of course i definitely am not complaining about.
(please excuse as always my awful hands)
you can read Alice's full post here.

more loveliness from Manuela...

most annoyingly i missed the preview of this collection last month. now seeing the look book images i'm even more annoyed that i did. very much liking her progression from last season but how it's all still very Manni and in keeping with her lovely aesthetic that i do so adore.

below are my favourites from the AW11 look book. the pleated skirt in look 14 has definitely made it on to my want. need. list. actually who am i trying to kid so has the sheer t-shirt and cut-away dress. yes please.

look at her website and blog for further more than loveliness.xx

Becci bought me a disposable camera most of them came out bad.

balloons. bunting. bands. booze. best buds.
i was hoping these pictures would come out better. seems fine.
