where do people like us go??




i've been spending the day rooting through the bags upon bags of clothes i have had stored at my parent's house for well over a year now...trying to sort everything into some kind of vague order of ebay/charity/sister/keep. so far i'm two bags down (and afraid to actually count how many more to go) and i have rediscovered some gems already. my favourites so far being this scarf, a pair of bright red shoulder pads (that i'm thinking could look ace underneath a sheer white deep v-neck tee or the like) and a polkadot crop top that i bought in a spanish thrift store a few years ago and thought had fallen victim to my attic (which i seriously suspect eats my belongings).

apparently my brackets addiction still exists.



back to the bathroom mirror, my own camera and trademark awkward poses. :]

"i mean, you probably wouldn't shine if put up against a normal girl..."

...some people i know really are are just charming.


assortment of trinkets: large silver and broken heart rings from bijou brigitte, stacked rings from sfera, panther ring leaving present from friend.


last week equalled finals and a shamtastic but very much appreciated and enjoyed neem visit. aaand my camera kind of broke (i'm working on it). so this is half a post.

anyway, i know that with it being 43 degrees (celsius) here, summer 2009 has essentially already started. but i tend to think about summer as being when i go home. either way, i intend to spend the majority of my summer (mallorcan holidays, rainy belfast times, cold nighttimebeachwalks and belgian festival craziness alike) pretty much dressing like a gypsy. in fact...this is an urge so strong and with such longevity that i am tempted to say i plan to spend the majority of the rest of my life as such.

basically:
the baggiest/most oversized/most layered tops/dresses/jerseys i can get my hands on, preferably in airy summery off whites.
turbans/headscarves/headbands/fascinators/feathers.
too many stacked/tacky/ridicuhuge rings and layer upon layer of chains and pendants.
heavy eyes and blood red lips.
hair i can enjoy hiding behind before i finally take the leap and cut it all off for autumn.

yeah, yeah...i know. i probably, pretty much, definitely just described the way i dress now anyways. but it's tiny differences...it'll make sense i promise. one of my housemates plans on dressing up as a native american, listening to music too loud and painting all summer. so it's nice to know i'm not alone in my insanity.
