Tea parties, sunset, and the sea.
But until then, I must stop spending so much time on blogger/tumblr/facebook.
june gloom
Came home the other day to these bad boys in the post.
The lovely Claire at Jazzpad held a giveaway a couple of weeks ago, and I won it.
Seriously, I haven't won anything since I was in year six. It was a collection of felt tips which have completely dried up by now. To win two giveaways in a matter of days?? Insane, I tells ya.
Anyway, it was (past tense, trust me, I can't help but rip packaging) wrapped, so I photographed it with some teapots, only to find out that Claire had popped in a teapot themed card!
Thank-you so much!!
A vintage St Michael bag which my purse actually fits in and a vintage brooch - not to mention the card which is now blu-tacked to my wall
Apologies for the last post. It was three in the morning, it'd been a mixed night out. I shouldn't be allowed to publish at that time.
I quote a friend: "
It serves as a reminder that you should feel?? You little 12 year old emo kid"
So to make up for it I'm going to share something nice with you. I've been listening to the Like so much recently that it can't be healthy.
Happy June (:

vintage scarves
Well, it was a lot cooler today that yesterday. Did I jinx it?
Still didn't want to admit defeat, so I just found my bag of thin silk scarves and chucked one on, in my state of blatant denial. I got the green Mickey Mouse scarf (originally from Disneyland Paris) from the bath product shop Lush. If you buy something from there, you can get it "girft-wrapped" for £3.95 in one of their vintage scarves - so of course I picked this one! The red buckle-print scarf was from a charity shop near to where I live.
But the cute horse one I received in the post today, courtesy of Charly at What I Wore Today! I won her lovely giveaway a few days ago, and received the package in the post today. Have a feeling this'll be my new favourite necklace! And the chocolates are in a safe place, far away from my brother....
(Apologies for the appalling quality of the photos, taken in poor natural light and with my phone, it was never really going to work!)

Yesterday was the last time I ever had to wear uniform to school (well, excluding exams...), so all the girls decided to go upon a theme - St Trinian's.
Originally a series of sketches, and then a series of films between 1957-1980, as well as two recent adaptations, St Trinian's' girls are seen as role models of independence and femininity - just what you need when you go to a boy's school!
And to keep up the continuing theme of nature I took these shots in my back garden where there are still some bluebells remaining - they look so pretty :)

bluebell wood
The trees are bare, the sun is cold,
And seldom, seldom seen;
The heavens have lost their zone of gold,
And earth her robe of green.

A quick weekend meet-up, taking advantage of the very short bluebell season.
When I saw Jil's recent post on the bluebell wood I mentioned it to my friends, and one of them said there was a similar one near to him. So, after a seemingly never ending day at work, we took a short car ride, and ended up here.
Bluebells are one of my favourite flowers, up there with daisies and hydrangeas.

A few people actually seemed interested to see my work!
Sorry for the terrible quality of the photos, but I only had my phone with me.
In the first photo you can see a triptych of acrylic paintings I did (the first two feature illustrate my pillowcase, the third is of myself) as preparation for my final piece.
The second photo is an acrylic painting over three pieces of A1 paper, with ribbons added on to the skirt.
Fingers crossed my grade is okay....!

Who knows why I automatically thought of Pingu when I saw these photos...
Anyway, these photos from an old Interview editorial remind me of what I've been doing in art recently. I don't know whether anyone would be interested in seeing any photos of what I've done? Either way, I love the juxtaposition of the leather and tulle.

Beware of artists - they mix with all classes of society and are therefore most dangerous

I have a three day art exam this week, so instead of falling asleep in history lessons I will try and do some things that are more productive, including:
eating more Crunchy Nut
appreciating the cherry blossom tree that's near to my house while it lasts
wearing my ladybird necklace as much as feasibly possible
(My local Topshop has had a make over! So I went in with no intention of spending any money and came out with this little friend for the hefty sum of £4. Pay day's only a month away after all...)

I haven't done a "proper" outfit post for quite a while now - as in of clothing I'd genuinely wear out of the house. Going out wearing a tutu accompanied with a cuddly jumper and DMs is a cool idea, but I don't think I have the balls ;)
Either way, the dance theme continues in the guise of this American Apparel skirt. I used to have one in white purely for dancing examinations, but I can't find it anywhere. I feel a hunt coming on...

Oh, hi Photo Booth.
I really ought to buy myself a camera. Probably a digital one, even though I'm seriously in love with the Lomography Diana+ and the Fujifilm Instax or whatever it's called.
But for now I guess we'll stick with the grainy and discoloured effort that is webcam.
I think I spent too much time waiting today.
