by the looks of things, my summer so far has consisted of wearing this top too much. i fully intend to continue this trend.

ps, in regards to the current riots happening across the country, i know i can't put across my view as concisely and well structured as others, so i'll just wish that everyone is well. it's horrific to see places i grew up ("oh, east london!"), go to uni and went to last weekend going up, literally, in smoke. i just... i don't understand people.
he whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
green post boxes. no joke.
dublin castle!! and you can't see up my skirt, i checked.
my inner lit geek went wilde in dublin. so did my bank account. ughhh.
it was lovely to see tessa, and we bought matching temple bar shot glasses. i don't know what her excuse for being a tourist was, she's been there all year! i'd love to go back when i have a disposable income (is that a myth? i'm not sure?). i took some more photos on my lomo (hurry up boots!) so i'll do a higgledy-piggledy post when i get that film back.
oh, and here's a photo of a peacock by the duck pond in the village where i live. i will never understand why there's a wild peacock roaming the rural streets. ever.

i can't work out digital cameras, although the blurriness of the first one is quite nice. i do have the occasional go with "proper" outfit photos.
my days currently consist of trying (and failing) to get through my reading list for next year, spending disgusting amounts of money on public transport, getting frustrated with ebay, and mourning the loss of the most beautiful couple that ever existed (rip alexandalexa).
oh, and don't you just love my "beautiful essex" calendar my mum bought me for christmas that you can see in the first photo? that's horndon on the hill ;)
panic on the streets of birmingham
we started as we ended - the pallasades' starbucks. havoc in the form of yellow max c bags slowly took over with their frappucinos. add to that the tote bags (you can never have enough totes, trust me) courtesy of missguided and motel, plus tesco clothing goodies, and i think you'll understand why i had some fetching red marks on my shoulder. these are the only photos i took (claire and i decided that we just couldn't leave those fur coats behind. in july.), so i'll leave the "professional" shots to the others.
it was so, so lovely to finally meet some of the girls i've been tweeting for months over mushroom risotto at red peppers and a fair bit of vodka at the hmv institute. admittedly, i did quite enjoy the wetherspoons breakfast (and gallons of orange juice) the next morning. heaven in a juicer. i keep checking the #brumbloggermeet hashtag and discovering even more wonderful (and not so flattering!) photos. even if i did start to feel quite nervous the night before, i am so, so glad i went, so massive love for claire and fritha for organising it all! hello to sara, gem, emma, selina, gemma, and (of course!) emma who witnessed my excuse for dancing to the smiths in the little hours, as well as elizabeth, florrie, and hattie who explored birmingham's culinary delights with me. another (even bigger?) hello to char, clare, danni, eloise, hayley, joy, lily, louise, maria and sarah who i didn't really get to spend so much time with, i think we need another reunion to rectify this. anyone up for it? ;)
okay, i'm just going to stop gushing now. yeah.

summer sun says get out more
liverpool sound city was, yet again, about two months ago, yet i only got round to taking off the wristband last night (that's nothing compared to the brownstock one, that happened last september). my review of it will be published in ellipsis (the university of liverpool magazine), so i shan't post the review here, but instead you can have some of the shots i took on my disposable camera.
ed sheeran at bumper, hardman street
miles kane at st george's hall (see if you notice this on the cover for his single "inhaler"!)
black lips at masque. i got the set list. love.
see you in birmingham!

the first photo was taken last
two months ago, ish, when i visited sam in york. the furthest north i've ever been!
(and please excuse my horrifically unphotogenic face. dfgvuckdzkvf)
superlambananas are deeply ingrained in the scouse culture.
i got my last disposable camera from liverpool back yesterday. i'm going to miss being a fresher. (and look at how pale i am in comparison to ellie in that first photo! glowing in the dark, in a club near you.)
dublin tomorrow - this means charity shops and temple bar with someone who knows i cannot stand guinness. it also means flying. i can deal with trains, but this is the first time i've ever flown on my own...

I'M IN A VEST
it's weird to see photos of my uni room again. it took me about two hours to get everything off the walls. and this is proof that i use high tech cameras. there are three exposures left on my current one till i can get that developed and see some incriminating evidence. mate, this is going to be fun.
skirt; £10; topshop. top; £6; primark. st michael's belt; 20p; charity shop. bag; £4; charity shop. made bracelet; £11.50; ebay. socks; £4; asos. customised with a nando's sticker disposable camera; £3 (i think); boots' finest, pal.
