on the meaning of the word "home"

photos of louise by edouard plongeon

speckles on the physical barrier between myself and the world, reflecting the blue flashes repeatedly until their urgency is irrelevant

thigh highs and low rise

stagger out of sync

running in front of buses, through pollution and into brief euphoria

i've just made myself a cup of tea in the starbucks mug i liberated and i'm going to watch wednesday's gossip girl and i'm going to ignore the weird amount of texts i'm receiving for 1:14 in the morning.

word to mother

ever want to go outside?

just... outside

to a field, park, roof, overgrown carpark, whatever.

get out.

wow, university's been intense.

i need sleep, and freshers isn't even over yet.

all that glitters

it'd be nice if it wasn't always me who had to make the effort.

always.

thanks to everyone who wished me a good time at brownstock. despite getting far too little sleep, drinking too much (even if not playing wizard myself), and my phone dying, it was okay.

i didn't get food poisoning, anyway.

shame every photo i've seen of myself so far makes me want to throw up

i put five disposable cameras into boots' vaults yesterday, so we'll see what treats there are in store soon.

here in my car i feel safest of all

no need to hitchhike.

all photos by eleanor hardwick. (click though for individual sources)

she's stupidly, stupidly talented for a sixteen year old (she's done the photography for the jack wills catalogue for the past few issues) and has a great blog, even if she doesn't update very often!

i've wanted to share her work for a while, so why not do it when i've just passed my driving test? :D

i am the stig.

a very british summer

orla kiely is an irish designer based in london, with a fantastical shop in covent garden. i don't own any of it (although i am VERY tempted to go for one of the dresses which is £150... in the sale) but LOOK. the socks and shoes look is essentially what i am renowned for (as well as my tights. clearly my feet/legs get more attention than i do) and i love her signature patterns.

the reason british people drink tea all year round is because there is no need to have cold drinks. it is always mild.

yet i am heading off to the seaside until next weekend; armed with disposable cameras, elle collections and a big carpet bag. And an optimistic bikini :|

if you want to keep up with what i'm doing, just follow me on twitter.

see you in a week (:

(and if that dress is still available in my size upon my return, i may have to make a purchase...)

you're a stone fox

kirsten dunst in virgin suicides, directed by sofia coppola, my own screen caps

a word of advice, this probably isn't the best film to watch at four in the morning.

ps, do any of you know brighton well? i'll be there next week, and it'd be nice if any of you could recommend some nice things to do during the day (don't worry, i'm sorted for the nighttimes, having older friends helps occasionally!). either leave a comment or email me (rebecca (dot) cohen (at) hotmail (dot) co (dot) uk) - thank you! i should be able to get another post in before i leave (:

This is a story of a girl who turned out wrong, because she only loved things that couldn’t love her back

Hannah Murray by Clare Shilland

Hannah Murray is better known as fictional character Cassie Ainsworth from Skins. Cassie is very quote-able.

This is one of my favourite televisual moments

ps. I don't know what people want to see here.... More outfit posts? More about me? More writing? Yeah... if you have any ideas, just let me know in a comment. (:

change:

This is what I do instead of going out (which translates as "I paint". A few people asked if I painted this, the answer is "yes")

I can't be bothered to finish it, but I felt the blog needed a bit of a change.

And if you live in Essex, I recommend the chocolate brownie from Abigail's. I can't quite explain in words (or the amount of texts I sent about it) how good it is.

My persistent love for Luella is continuing despite the company going under. Between theoutnet.com and ebay I have obtained two blouses and a keyring.

Should I just make a shrine to her?
