topshop 09

i was going through topshop's autumn/winter lookbooks at some of the outfits actually made my jaw drop............ just thought i'd share :)

you can't really see them but this total babe is wearing sequined hot pants, which i would kill for at the moment! rachel (from kasms) wore them at offset and rocked out, and to be honest they're just really really sexy. speaking of offset, and because she's also wearing a sequiney jacket, josie got a killer one at offset for 15 pounds or something, which is really similar to an old (60 pound) topshop one. and it's better, obviously, because it's vintage. what a fiiiiind, josefine!
a) thigh high boots are growing on me like a mould (but a very nice-looking one at that). if i had money to spare, i'd buy some. i don't, but either way they're still pretty cool (prada are doing them <3), onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH3qIKX2tUGDYzoC8fr0gIJnJDPoIB2YXXqXCvX2_bTgZ_HIqdoENvfNTiu_eJ4_-DHsYsxr2kJ9RkrCHhRQ5h5sXuy-RW5uZqSSmG3HbCRbbdFl1wce7nA2KTDj5X4kB1GScWffpQHkU/s1600-h/main_HorrorG-3a.jpg">i posted this just so i could rave a bit more about thigh high boots. i love them. total shoe obsession right now.

just because it's inspired. tartan cropped corset and matching kilt? oh my actual god. bright scarf to top it off? i might actually drool i want to get that outfit so bad.

and apparently i'm the only living person who likes this video, but i think the song's awesome.

patricia

this is patricia, and today i found her blog. she was at offset (the picture just above this text). she was also in brighton at some point (top photo!) not only does she have killer style, but she also doesn't half write a good blog. check it ouuuuuuuuuuuut x

jeffrey

offset was AMAZING, i'll post pictures when i've had the films developed. for now however...

g ducks

here's the poems gabriel duckels has very kindly sent me for supra boring. this is his blog. i wasn't going to put them up (i was going to save them instead) but i really, really love the second one. it may be about a rather distressing subject but it's amazing

BOY
Barely male, I have been raised to stumble
over broken bones and hands of stone.
The ache inside has seldom tumbled,
but for snatches of love and mobile phones
whose ring I've dreaded, or begged to hear.
And late nights spent in my own noise
have earned me an anguish, not quite cleared:
I have known the cage of other boys.
A pair of hearts, sweating and tangled;
two outfits thrown onto bedroom floors.
I have left love affairs mad-eyed and jangled,
to greet the same wolves I knew before.
As a boy, I've sometimes been the prince,
or fed the fool, or felt the fist.
Since young known fire, and ever since,
I’ve treasured that danger: a gentle kiss.
I have left my soft bruises on your neck,
dripped down your thigh, and dared to speak.
As boys we do not know the truth yet:
We are most afraid of the games we seek.

JENNY, I THINK OF YOU
Jenny, I think of you
in that bath of blood
the shower shuddering as
the whole world drags and
howls itself down your thighs
from the place inside, Jenny,
that bit of you deep inside
where the moon stopped turning
and it fell down down, now a
mess on the base of the tub.
And you
didn't fall down the stairs you
barely even smoked these months
and it's more than blood
but less than a child, and absolutely
nothing else in the universe exists
besides what is now gone and
you,
stood there,
screaming.

ciao for now

going tomorrow <3 expect lots of updates of band's favourite dogs and politicians on monday since i'm going to be interviewing :):)

i can't decide which one i like more! shoes are one of my big obsessions at the mo, i should be packing for offset but i'd rather oggle at acne booties.


Acne Atacoma Heel via creatures of comfort

just look at how goooorgeous it is! i know these have been blocked beyond repair, but i kind of think they deserve it considering i could sit and stare and them for hours. i'm obsessed with wedges and ankle boots at the moment, and acne, so these are like obsession heaven right now!

alessi really is my favourite musician at the moment. album of the year for suuuuuuuuuuuuure!

sam edelman - 'zoe boot'
aren't they just the best. i'm really into ankle boots (so into them in fact that i'm applying for a job in a shoe shop) and i actually gasped when i saw these beauties. and then i saw the price, and it dashed all my dreams of me skipping (wobbling) down ditchling road in the babies. seriously, you do not want to know. it's not worth the pain.

ann sofie

i really really love these pieces from ann sofie madsen's graduate collection. at the moment i'm making a little cocktail dress style thing out of this mint green mesh fabric (which i got for £1 at a charity shop). it was always going to be see-through but i loooove this detailing so much; i really really want to recreate it, if i can find some mint green cord i definitely will, or i could maybe do it in black...

i've been watching nearly famous, my old favourite tv show, on youtube. it's the best! at the moment (right now that is, at this minute, while typing) i'm watching this bit. watch it to the bollywood dance bit, it;s brilliant! and the oral replacement gag at the line makes me chuckle :) also the ginger girl, kate i think her name is, is a proper fashionista. I LOVE HER FASHION SENSE!

partyyyyy

tonight we went to a fancy dress party, i dressed as a tramp. it was epic. i got so much free stuff woooooooop


yum yum yum yum, loving the slits in the shoulders, like a casual holes-in-shoulders-shirt thinngy. wummy wum yum. so doing that on my stripey dress. primark won't know what hit them. :)

if only i could afford urban outfitters, oh my actual god it's only the best thing in the woooorrrrrld! and you couldn't make it goddamn!

really sweet dress, and probably not even that hard to do! if i find some nice fancy fabric, i will definately have a go at this!

i really really wuvvvvv viv westwood ANYTHING but especially her shoes in collaboration with melissa! they're like jellies kicked up the arse (by a massive heel). i love them sososososo much! honestly, i think they're the only shoes i'd spend £50+ on and not regret
