Maybe sometime I'll be leaving soon...

Danish Pop. S'all about the Danish/Swedish pop.

Such a good song from a really lovely band

Treefight For Sunlight-What Became Of You And I by Check The Availability

What became of you and I indeed.




So I've been a bit rubbish for a couple of days and it's a shame because I really wish I could post I was wearing. I wore my favourite dress yesterday and everything! Things are getting tense because of the looming book launch and I seem to be spending every second I have on it, but it is going incredibly well so I can't complain.

Sorry about how crap these photos are. This is such a boring outfit but it is very me. Plus how do you like the headphones? I really love them! (sorry about the none shiney non-makeuped face)

Sometimes...





Sometimes, it takes forever to get dressed doesn't it? I must have put on 300 thing this morning. Shocking.

Sometimes it's ok to wear the same cardigan every day.

Sometimes I believe my dreams will come true.

Sometimes I don't go out the house all day so I don't wear any shoes.

We're having a party for you.

I must be feeling musical. This song is really really good. So simple. So fun. So awesome.
(also, that's a she, and she's amazing, not sure if the video really goes with the song...)

Quiet Company

This just suits the weather today.

Wishes and shoes





I ordered some shoes the other day, all the way from Sweden. I've never bought shoes online before, but anyway, they arrived at 7.30am(!) this morning. And well, let's just say, for £50 they were put together, somewhat worse that I was expecting. 

Really not impressed. The heel is falling away already, there is an eyelet missing and there's already blemishes on the mirror work. So thanks Modekungen, but no thanks. SO annoyed.

We'll see what their excuses are. Originally I was wearing this outfit with a leather skirt, but I realised that it did a good job of making me look like a hooker when paired with these tights.

Misty Vs Shanti

The cats new favourite place is the dogs basket. Shanti won't do anything about it, they just sit there in a stand off. Such an innocent face...

Longing






I've had this dress for a while but it just hasn't seemed right to wear it yet. Today I figured I may as well just do it. I butchered this tee ages ago this is pretty much all it's good for now.

Sosososososo much to do to get prepared for the book launch in TWO AND A HALF WEEKS. Nightmare. The books are here and they all look great though, so who knows, it might all work out in the end.

Discouraged.

Despite my clothes, this is how I feel today

Something You're Not.





So you've probably noticed, I'm not great at doing colour.

Its a lack of confidence thing. But I'm trying to get better. This is another attempt, but I'm not convinced. I love these leggings and in real life I think they look fine, however, in these photos I'm pretty sure they make my legs look like giant blocks of cheese. Does that happen to anyone else?

hmmm.

I spend too long reading other peoples blogs, it always make me feel bad about myself...

Bad Luck






I've had the worst headache today, I have no idea what to do. Nothing will get rid of it.

I wish I could enjoy the sun.

Run Away

So I'm not proud for shopping in Primark, BUT I destroy shoes faster than you would ever believe. I don't know what is wrong with me, but shoes just fall to pieces, so I buy cheap flats for every day use (people who say pay more for better quality, trust me, I've tried it, it all goes just as quickly).

These however I actually ADORE, such perfect shape and look, not quite a trainer but a comfy everyday shoe. They'll keep me going this spring/summer.

Naturally I had to get them in black AND navy, but I love them both.



(the subtleties weren't showing up..)
Also, I stupidly bought the black ones too small, I took the tags off (and walked to the station in them) but if anyone wants them (most likely to fit UK 4) just let me know and I'll send them over free of charge. I'll take this off the post when/if they go, so if you can still see it then I still have them.
(UK only)

I Wish You Well



I don't know what this is about at all, sorry about the hair, it's just growing back where I shaved it...
 
Thanks so much for all the support lately everyone, it's much appreciated.

Anyway, this is a thrown together old thing with bad photos and well, I can't really believe I'm posting it, but here I am, ready to do it. 

These shoes didn't last the day, which is kinda annoying because they fit me so well, they just, are difficult, its nothing some glue can't sort out though. Also definitely needs some necklaces too.

I'm trying to plan the launch of my book this week and it's a logistical nightmare! (For anyone wondering, I didn't actually write the book, I'm just publishing it)

Here's a couple of snaps from yesterday too, sorry I'm on SUCH poor form : (
This kinda looks like I'm going to work out, but you know what, it was COMFY. I also wore my leather jacket, but I'm sure you know what that looks like by now...


Excuse my idiot face, please. And the arm in the air (What is wrong with me!?).

Wonder what your boyfriend thinks about your braces?

I hate Mondays, not because of the whole 'work after the weekend' thing, but because, it's the only day I have to work 2 of my 3 jobs. it involves travelling across London and spending too much money on food.

Anyway, this is all I have for now. I really love this song, pop music at it's absolute best. Please listen!

Let's Pretend.


 
So the sun isn't really coming out to play today, this is me calling it to. I'll probably put on some tights when I go out, but for now, for baking and sewing (old lady style) I'll stick to this. There's a flash of my foot tattoo here too, it's the inspiration for the name of this blog.

I was feeling more colourful, and I got this cardigan yesterday and don't really want to take it off...

The shoes are the ones from this post here

In a matter of time...

Listen to this when you actually walk through a park, so perfect.

Saturdays

I love when the river bursts it's banks and sugar sits on top of latte's.


an awkward kind of grunge.

awful in everyway, but you have no idea how many times I tried to get this right...

Sometimes I'm so awkward it's funny even to me. I think I'm going to have to apologise about my face in every post it's in. There's just no facial expression I can have in order to look even mildly acceptable. ANYWAY enough of that. 

This is my grunge meets bondage look. I bought these leggings/trouser things from Topshop yesterday, and I really love them, apart from the fact they've stained my legs a kind of odd purple/grey colour, that (from the short attempt I made) is going to be really hard to get off...

I went walking around Richmond today trying (and failing) not to spend much money...
Still, it was a very nice Saturday. 

And once again, sorry for my face.
