la mode de l'automne et l'hiver, que j'ai volé de Vogue et interprété pour moi...

Okay, well no more excuses. As of tomorrow the summer has officially began. No more exams. No more coursework. For six weeks. I repeat. SIX WEEKS. hurray. so I am going to be blogging propperly. yays.

There is a reason for the french title is that i got a good mark in my french exam today. whoop whoop. so I thought I'd be cool and use the highly innacurate and unneffective google translate tool to write out what (according to said website) roughly translates to meen; 'autumn and winter trends, stolen from vogue and interpreted by me'. and thats basically what this post is going to be about.

Okay well you get the idea and i dont really feel much explanation is necessary but I loved the floaty fabrics used by the designers above and I didnt have a floral dress in this sort of fabric so I layered a sheer black dress and a floral one to give this effect, obviously its a quirkier interpretation but I cant help looking a bit crazy, I meen its me for gods sake.

tigthts and both dresses are from primark, H&M belt

I'm loving this idea of mixing knits with glamourous fabrics. One of my favourite ideas to have come out of this seasons shows. My interpretation is less glamourous and I was undecided whether to upload this because it doesnt really fit but lets go for it.

I got given the satin dress, primark tights, topshop legwarmers with my own ribbon attatched to one, my mums cardi with my own green ribbon threaded into the knit, H&M belt.

Very similar to the last trend, infact one could argue they are the same thing however as I said before I'm really loving it at the moment so I dont really care about what you say to me doing to similar trends because I feel that, in my interpretation, I have approached both in entirely different ways.

Old dressing up skirt, random tank top, mums cardigan, TopShop glasses.

I don't know quite what has happened here and why the models have gone all skinny and odd, however I don't have the energy or the broadband speed to do anything about it. hehe. Therefore I'm hoping my outfit is jubbly enough to redeem my lack of effort in the sizing of images.

Dorothy Perkins tights, Fat Face shorts, random top, H&M belt.

As you can probably tell I went a bit crazy in the editting department today, however it was good fun and I'm hoping that you'll agree when I say that being a teenager with a blog is definitely more about fun than sophistication. blah sophistication. when since have I ever been sophisticated. I'm not trying to imitate vogue. I'm having fun with editting software that may have gone slightly over the top. but y'know. hehe.

Hope you enjoyed my friends.

Okay quickly, quickly... daintily though

Okay well I would write reams and reams about this dancer and the video had I bothered to research it propperly but I really dont have the time due to the need for revision and the slowness of my computer so I hope that you get the idea of the inspiration for these photos.

Some Place Between Twiggy, Steampunk and My World...

Recently I've been fascinated by the various sub-genres of goth, punk excetera. Mostly after some long discussions on my beloved facebook with a friend who is into 'alternative' and 'goth' fashion. Perhaps my favourite of these styles is steampunk. I have to say that I have never met or even seen someone who would class themselves as steampunk but its something I find wildly exciting because of the fantasy, historical elements. I found this picture on the internet for those of you who dont know what a steampunk is. I particularly like this image because its a red head, admittedly I am a big fan, she has white pale skin (obviously achieved with some sort of makeup but must have been fairly pale skin in the first place to pull it off) like me, however I am largely red from sunburn or laughing too much. And aside from that she is stunning. What more could you ask for.

Twiggy is my other influence today... tehe... my darling best friend bought me a photography book on twiggys modelling career and I have read it several times over... thank you Jamie.... and obviously my makeup is largely influenced by twiggys drawn-on lashes.

A couple of photos I took on my phone to show the twiggy style makeup... I know it meens you can see all the inacuracies of it but thats what I love... I hope you see the perfection of its imperfection too.

can you quite believe this jumping shot is real?? I cant believe how high off the ground, my positioning, my face... everything, something always goes wrong with my jumping shot, but not this one... this time its real.

Not too bad, funny face, not far enough off of the ground, bootlace undone but its okay.

I look like a bird. scarrryyyyy.

H&M Jacket and top, Zara trousers, Primark boots.

Hope you enjoyed my musings yet again. I have delighted in sharing it with you. Steampunks make me really excited.... tehehe... well fashion does to be honest.

I love my blog

Egyptology...

I've had this book since I was much younger. I recieved it as a Christmas present from my grandparents who had  heard that I had been studying egypt in school. When I saw that it was a book about egypt, I came to an immendiate misconception that the book would be dull, boring and text book-like, but on opening the book I discovered it to be none of the above. Infact it was one of the most beautiful books I've ever owned. Okay these photos really dont do the book any form of justice but I suppose they are neccesary simply to pad this post out so that it is not entirely made up of my ramblingness. There were enveloped letters and fold out games, encased in tiny origami packages and fold out hyroglyphics, the hole book is just so stunning its a wonder I havent done an inspired outfit before. By the way, if your an artist, design student, or just a blogger who is fond of arty, street style, fashion books that you enjoy trawling amazon in order to find (okay I know I'm kind of describing myself here but I'm sure theres others) then you should buy this book, even if ancient civilisation makes you feel like commiting suicide (erm thats me!)...it is stunning.

I was going to post some photos of the pages from the inside of the book aswell but the pages seem to be really shiny and the ones taken with flash the light has just reflected off of them leaving big white marks in my photos and the ones taken without, well they are beyond an acceptable level of blurriness.

okay, I attempted egyptian style makeup because I meen, how can you not, and I failed but, hey, please get over it. I'm fifteen. I had fun and at the end of the day this is why I blog, so that I can share with the world a way in which I enjoy myself. Like I've said before... there is something beautiful about imperfection.

H&M satin dress (rolled up and worn as bodice) and belt, Zara shoes, dress from the clothes show.

God, I must be the only teenager on earth sad enough to stand infront of an awkwardly balanced camera leaning against a pencil pot and a battery on her bedsides table on a loudly bleeping self timer and hold a pose such as this dressed like an ancient egyptian... tehehe, it does make one feel maginally pathetic.

Okay I'm crazy, one day I'll get over telling you that.

Tehe....

Skinheads and regurgitation of old posts...

well I'm sure I've done a post about skinhead culture before and for some reason this image wont rotate... and I know I've definitely posted this collage before but ah well you get the inspiration behind my outfit. I'm afraid its not as imaginitive and well thought out as yesterdays but its an outfit post all the same.

This post is starting to look like a regurgitated mix-up of previous posts because I used this teddy in a punk inspired post as well but sometimes I see things in my room and I just think... like the dreamcatcher yesters... oh I'll grab that... it will work with my outfit and it tends to work out quite nicely and it just so happens that i had the same train of thought twice.

Bear Factory teddy, random tights, DMs, Ethel Austin shorts, Next shirt, random denim hair tie.

Sorry this post has been rubbish so I'm going to bore you with 'a breif history of skinhead culture'... Tehe... Only joking lol... okay I cant resist a very brief one... skinhead culture originated in 1960s Great Britain and became so popular that the rock band 'slade' temporarily adopted the look... hahahaha can you believe that... yes thats really what I wanted to tell you... tehe.

Alice through the Dreamcatcher...

Hello again bloggettes, Today guess what? We have an outfit post... gasp... I am so impressed with myself... I doubted that I even had the ability to take blog photos, its been that long.

Anyway basically there are four inspirations for todays post, the first three of which is evident from the title of the post... obviously the first one is alice herself. The idea of this girl with such beautiful imagination and the concept of wonderland itself is one that has always fascinated, intrigued and excited me. I really enjoyed the Tim Burton version and if you still haven't seen it... why not?... go and see it in 3D it is simply stunning. I was blown away.

Another alice based inspiration and the most significant one, is Anne Hathaways role as the white queen, however I did feel in the movie her acting was rather too realistic for the abstract style of the film, noone can deny the beauty of her soft white skin against the blood red lips and all with elegant posture and poise... I am incredibly impressed with the picture bellow for Anne Hathaway was someone I had always considered stunning but I could only see this on film. Every time I had seen shoots she had done for magazines I had felt that she struggled to connect with the camera but in this photo she has definitely proved me wrong.

Dreamcatchers have been something Ive had since I was tiny... I have been given them by various relatives for years and obviously santa has been known to put the odd one or two miniture ones into my stocking on a night before christmas, however I really know very little about the culture and history behind these things. To be honest I have rarely hung one in my window as your supposed to they have just been pretty things I have lying around, but I love the idea of them taking your bad dreams from you and to combine that idea with the idea of a dreamt up world really excited me.

I was even more excited when I read on shop it right now about Ann Sofie Blacks dreamcatcher necklace... I like the idea of having a dreamcatcher necklace for Alice because it would protect her from her own dreamt up world... is that not a lovely idea... I think that I definitely need to do some artwork based on this concept and perhaps I could have a go at making my own Alice inspired dreamcatcher necklace though I'm a little unsure of how complex this would be to achieve.

 And final... less deep and well thought out inspiration is this young hollywood shoot that appeared in the terrible monstrosaty of a magazine that is Teen Vogue ages ago and is one of the only shoots I have ever felt has 'feeling' or 'inspiration' behind it.

Okay so enough on my inspiration shall we get down to the nitty gritty and start posting some outfit photos.

I love this... I have achieved the dreamy feel (aka blurriness!) by taking the photo by placing my dreamcatcher over the lense of the camera... you can see a little bit of the feathers creeping in on the corner too.

Old ballet pumps, TopShop two tone tights (rip off of the chanel ones which I love), Dress bought at the clothes show (dont ever go, I went with school, it was a waste of time), yes I am only wearing one glove and its a vintage doe skin one and I have no idea where the dreamcatcher is from or who bought it for me etc. 

These photos really remind me of my fantasies of wonderland as a child.

Okay well there you go... I am definitley starting to feel like my life revolves around my blog, much to the disgust of my parents who dispise me using the computer and I do this kind of derranged fast typing and cant even turn around incase I loose my train of thought when I am blogging. I know that meens most of it is illiterate but I dont really care... I dont feel the need to strive endlessly for perfection.

So here I am, overly inspired, being creative once again with my jubbly outfit posts.

I Am Sorry Bloggers...Sorry With All My Heart

I feel so terrible at the unbelievable length of time its been since the last time I posted and most of those posts involved the words 'sorry I havent posted in a while' but I've had sniffles on and off and been tired and stressed from school and for one reason or another have felt too detatched from myself to just well... be me. And thats what my blog is primarily about... me sharing my world with all my lovely bloggettes.

So massive apology over lets get back to some blogging... I'm afraid theres no outfit post for today as I've lost my camera charger and theres no batteries in our family camera so thats no use really but I'll get hold of some batteries and use that until my charger turns up. But for now guess what there is theres some art and theres some crazed goth photos from my vain obsession with uploading myself to facebook via my phone.

Its a people tree... tehe.

Its another people tree...

This is one of the first ones I did... I had just had a shower and as you can see my hair is drenched but I kind of like it... it makes me look as if I'm from another planet.

some slightly less dark ones... liking the face on the middle one here, it really makes me laugh, I do have silly facial expressions but its good to laugh at yourself...tehe

pushing emo territory here a little... reminds me a little of jonny depps eye make up in alice in wonderland and seeing as I appear to be eating myself in the first one may meen I'm acting a little like a mini mad hatter too... tehehe

its deep... haha no its not its makeup :)

This ones a bit weird... I look kind of like a fish lol.

crazy old me

and all happy and light again... these are my favourites, theyre not so scary.

Anyway apolagies for there not being an outfit posts... and if you were worried i had died or something during the extensive period of no posts well I'm back and blogging now and thats the best way I can think of to say thank you for being amazing.

Hope youll be back to read whatever I have to say... even if its truly nonsense... another day.

Tomorrow x
