amsterdam in photos

these are all pinched from the lovely mim and lucy because my digital camera is broken and i used film and have yet to develop the 3 photos i took. i fail at life but i know that. literally couldn't have picked a better bunch of girls to go with or had a better time.

welcome to nowhere womens lookbook. see the rest here.

oh lelli kelly got the prettiest shoes

big fan of kelly osbourne's wardrobe at the mo.

michael kors a/w 2010

i don't care if people call it boring its like the dude read my mind about what i want to be wearing RIGHT NOW.

amsterdam

i got back at 7.30 am this morning and it was such an awesome trip. amsterdam is so cool and so different to london. more pics will be added soon.

how's your day going?

if you're not wearing a t-shirt with a bird with a quiff on it and you're not off to amsterdam tonight then not as good as mine is!



smuggness aside, i hate packing. capsule wardrobe's are not my friend and apparently its zero degrees and snowing in amsterdam right now.

i'm in, are you in?

to not mourn the loss but celebrate the life of the recently deceased goldsmiths gentlemen's society. music's good and most importantly, drinks are cheap.

psyched

in other news, i was awarded the sunshine blog award by the fabulous blogger at My New Favourite Thing, so thank you very much!



i'm passing it onto alice at birds in hats as her illustrations do bright up my day and after a chat with her last night (at a seedy russian mafia owned club in picadilly circus, not sure how we fitted in) she's agreed to do one for me.

can i have it like that?

such a major want for this dress from motelrocks.com

rihanna at superbowl pepsi event, miami.

remember this post where i expressed my love for the football jumper dress from alexander wang's spring 2010 collection? well here's riri rocking it, nicely topped off with leopard print louboutins. it was only a matter of time before one of her outfits landed her on here.

shoes from holland, no i don't mean clogs

argh how amazing are these boots for only £50?! definitely my favourite item from henry holland's collection for debenhams.

everyone is picking up on that feline beat 'cause everything else is obsolete.

so this weekend has been eventful. since the weather on friday was actually quite sunny and not freezing we decided to walk to greenwich. we walked up to the royal observatory with a stop off at the charming rhodes bakery and a gander by the river.friday was topped off with a warehouse party in new cross that was actually really good and didn't get broken up by the police. its just a shame the oxygen ran out and the floor was covered in piss. note: if there's 600 people in a warehouse, one toilet probably isn't enough.

saturday was a total write off. i got into rugby. that's about it.

sunday me and ed didn't want to waste the day so after a little visit to time out's website we decided to go to the russian meslenitsa festival at potters field park. it was free and only a six minute train journey away so after recruiting two more of our housemates off we went. after that we had a wander around tower bridge and had a coffee in the dickens inn. on the train journey home for some reason we got on the topic of disney films and this evening i couldn't help but watch the aristocats. i think i'm going to start watching all the classic disney films again, its been years since i've seen most of them. i'm not allowed to youtube anymore disney songs because the superbowl has started and i have to be quiet.

i lent you a hand but you never gave it back

yesterday i went to the hunterian museum at the royal college of surgeons and it was full of fit people drawing skulls.

the hellers

make cool stuff.

"your vulgarian friend is downstairs"

i popped home the at the weekend and now i have a shiney new notebook, see ya later dells and shitty windows vista. HELLO WINDOWS 7! no i'm still not ready for a mac, although there are qualities to my new sony vaio that are definitely macintosh inspired.

so anyway i've lost all my bookmarks from my old computer and haven't had much time to find anything of interest to blog about so it's just me talking about me.

tuesday night was my housemate josh's birthday. we went for a curry in new cross and then had a little party at another friend's house. it was a tame one for me but lots of fun none the less. (photos pinched from lucy)




thursday night was kids club night at the amersham. beaty heart played and a band i hadn't heard of called filthy boy who were really good, especially their song about jimmy-jammies. we saw them friday night too at deptford darling. a really good club night just down the road from us. it was dj josh weller's birthday and paloma faith popped along to celebrate with him. (photos pinched from georgina, the night was space themed hence people's costumes)




then i spent the weekend at home. saturday night my sister hosted a good ole girls night in and cooked which was a lovely evening. sunday was an 80s rob lowe fest. seriously how hot is he in st elmo's fire?! and about last night is one of my new favourite films.

i promise i'll be more interesting next time.

gold digger

the blogosphere has been going crazy this week over what kanye and his gf amber rose have been wearing at paris fashion week, and with reason too - shit is unreal. i'd just like to bring attention to mr wizzle's bling (am i the only person in the world still using that word? i think so)



i'm diggin' that.

and you've just had some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving slow go ask alice i think she'll know

my sister lucy has really gotten me into wearing lipstick (even though she just LURVES gloss!). i'm a growed up lady now and thought i should get into it, although i'm still not ready for red (i look like a spanish floozy)i'm easing my self into it with nudes/peaches/frosty pinks. i've just seen these lipsticks, part of the paul and joe alice in wonderland collection and these colours are PERFECT.



massive want. also the alice in wonderland packaging allows one to still feel slightly childish in their womanly lipstick ways.

whilst i'm on the subject of bling

a bitch could really use these too,


from thomas sabo.

in love with pamela love

plus, she seems really awesome. i want her to be my new bff.

last one today i promise

some trainers i could get along with. by gianni barbato.

putting the 'fit' in 'urban outfitters' part II

i wish i was loaded and could just live in all of it. huff.

i'm looking for a man like josh radnor

so if you know anyone, hook a girl up.

just a stream of consciousness.

even with essays aside i've been pretty rubbish at blogging. thursday was my good friend sarah's birthday and i drank most of a bottle of white wine before going out for cocktails. convinced i resemble carrie bradshaw sipping my cosmo i decided i only ever want to drink out of cocktail glasses for the rest of my life and stole not one but two, very impressive if you saw the size of my handbag. we then went back to mine and danced to all sorts of hip hop and rnb and drank more wine.

friday i was very VERY ill. still not sure if it was a hangover or not. either way, it was the worst i've ever felt. i threw up a lot. in fact anything i tried to eat or drink (including water) came back up within minutes of consumption. graphic huh?

saturday the lovely rose and mima came round and we had tea in my bed. in the evening i went for a couple of pints in central with a good friend from home and we got quite smashed. really really great times.

sunday i ILLEGALLY watched sherlock holmes. it was good. definitely set it up for a sequel too, excellent.

today i went to golders green and only realised on the tube there i was using my shopping bag emblazoned with "i've been to the FANTASTIC SAUSAGE FACTORY". whilst normally it is amusing i felt in a predominantly jewish area of north london it was particularly insensitive. i spent the whole time trying to cover it up, scared somebody might spit on me. anyway, here's the blazer i bought for £6



it looks like its part of a school uniform with its burgundy and black strips on grey but they gold pin stripes going through it assure me its not. then i popped to oxford street to pick up my housemate a birthday present and couldn't leave without picking up a top in zara sale. bik bok at the moment is so good! i wanted so much from there but managed to resist. they have crushed velvet black leggings for £12.99!

oh and i forgot to mention, i booked a trip to amsterdam for february. excited!

new cross, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

this week i've already completed a 3000 word essay and i'm currently on 776 of a 1500 word source analysis (history students are cool) so naturally i'm blogging.

thursday night we went to off modern at corsica studios, i didn't drink and it was completely rammed to a ridiculous extent, some health and safety codes were definitely being violated and i went home early. still, i had a good time.

if you were in the south east london area on friday night then you might have been aware, or if you are a member of the metropolitan police force within the south east london area then you definitely would have been aware about a certain house party that went on. it will a night that will go down in goldsmiths history as i'm pretty sure most of their current alumni were in attendence. there was a lot of drink, a hell of a lot of mephedrone, the most amount of police i've ever seen, an incredible set from beaty heart and a very good night had by all. 8 musgrove road, we salute you.

photos pinched from various people.

yep that's me at the back stood on a sofa clapping my hands like i just don't care.

i'm also pretty sure i met the man of my dreams that night too. oh well.

which brings me to monday night and we all went to bite at the den for zoe's birthday. now i've talked about bite before and i was a big fan but monday was so bad, it is now dead to me and i never want to go again. the new venue is shit and the music was awful. very very disappointing. any good suggestions for a new club night to go to on a monday with cheap drinks?
