an insight (with a worrying amount of words)

the above jumper was sent to me buy the lovely vicky of aha shake heartbreaker. it's so fluffy and perfect for keeping me warm that i wore it straight away to the fireworks display that evening. she has some amazing outfits and i'm not jealous of her bag in any way at all!

THANK YOU

you're all beautiful people!

i'm going shopping asap with amy to get a little something for one of you, let's see what liverpool shops have to offer...

looking back, i realise i've never really given any basic facts about myself, so maybe now's the time to have a go (:

i like to have something on my wrist at all times. not a watch, but things i can genuinely forget about. ribbon, string, etc. currently all i have is my brownstock wristband... it's only a matter of time before the collection builds up again.

i was walking down brook street the other day and got weirdly emotional seeing that the luella shop had been converted into an aspinal's of london. i miss her so much... but then i met up with friends and went to starbucks (ADDICTION) and then a restaurant for his birthday. swings and roundabouts.

i like to go out without a plan. it often leads to things that... well, it's safe to say that i've made mistakes, but i don't think that's a bad thing. necessarily.

i play up to characters quite a bit. i try and embody the better characteristics of luna lovegood, cassie ainsworth, the lisbon sisters, blair waldorf and alexa chung (to name but a few).

1) my wrist a couple of weeks ago.

2) luella ♥ (source)

3) mt and jm on the way to frinton.

4) tennessee thomas and alexa chung (i can't remember the source, sorry!)

5) drinking bollinger post-hot house.

sorry for the sheer amount of words... i'll be less sentimental next time, i promise. xo

five o' clock in the morning

Some recent (ish) entries.

And a special mention goes out to Paintshop Pro. Without your blur tool, this entry wouldn't have been possible.

sleep is for the weak

{Click photos for sources}

I much prefer to daydream.

Or at least the transitional state between being conscious and unconscious, where you can vaguely control your dreams. It's definitely more fun that way.

And then I'll stop having visions of wolves (which, although beautiful, can get a bit samey after a while) night after night.

I love to watch the sun rise, and it's mucking up my body clock.

This photo was taken when I had a normal sleeping pattern (2008, I'm on the left):

(Apologies for such a horrifically disjointed post, it didn't quite go to any plan I may have subconsciously made)

social networking

I have been tagged in a quiz by Ergy Erg - I swear this feels like the ultimate combination of Myspace, Facebook and Twitter!

1. Arrr What dog will that be?

For he is not an aardvark:

2. Have you ever got anything good from those 1 pound toy dispensers where you can get

little key chains and hello kitty phone charms?

I used to "collect" the little Winnie the Pooh keyrings where he was dressed up as christmas pies/sunflowers/pigs/etc. Looking back they were barely worth 4 pence :p

3. Band or banned?

I'm with the band (even if I'm banned from seeing them ;) ). Like them on Facebook HERE. You'll hear more about them in the future, I'm sure (:

(For people who know me, don't read into that)

4.Want to go and get a beer mate?

Only if that beer is a double amaretto and cranberry juice. THE DRINK OF GODS.

6.What is your favourite novelty 90's band!?

MC Hammer

7. Do you like animated 90's gifs

The hell, Caroline?! (ha, I had to look at your Lookbook to find your name, I just refer to you as "ergy" pronounced like "eurgh-gee" in my head :p ) But I like the nineties, and I like gifs. I'll just put MC Hammer in again, for funsies. (:

8.What's the best ever thing you've got from a souvenir/museum shop?

She's from Ireland and hangs on my bedroom door (:

seventeen is my favourite number

Today has been rather a languid and apathetic day.

I didn't sleep very well, had to go to the doctor's and watched a documentary on the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy (it was a Culture Show special on BBC2, check it out on iPlayer)

But, as it was my brother's birthday recently, we have chocolate cake in the house. So I put on my favourite dress and had a bedroom picnic (:
