i'm loving every idiosyncrasy - GIVEAWAY

title lyrics: dan les sac vs. scroobius pip - the beat that my heart skipped

alexa wants to celebrate too!

seeing as i've reached five hundred followers, its nearly christmas and it's my birthday next week (nineteen, scary) now seems like the perfect time to say thank you to all my wonderful followers. and, as it's the festive season, what everyone needs is that uglycute jumper to wear when sipping on glühwein and making mince pies.

this jumper is from a little shop in liverpool called pop boutique which sells mens and womens vintage clothing as well as homewares, cards and some of their own designs. this jumper is made by pop and it has reindeers on it. reindeers! it's super comfy, so when i've got my birthday money i may have to go back and get a similar one for myself. this is a medium and fits me fine (i vary between a 10 and 12 uk dress size, never thought i'd be saying that online...), i'd say it'd comfortably fit sizes 4-14.

if you'd like to enter just comment below saying what your favourite thing about winter is.

as it's a thank-you to my followers, it's only fair that entrants must be a follower of my blog via google friend connect/blogger. for extra entries you can tweet about this giveaway @rebeccacohen and follow me via bloglovin', just let me know in your comment.

the giveaway is open to international readers and closes on wednesday fifteenth december.

good luck (: xo

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!

dress; urban outfitters. jumper; vintage via vicky

five hundred followers?

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

on the meaning of the word "home"

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.
