Bye Bye Blog

As you've noticed (or most likely haven't) I haven't posted in over 6 months. I've started a new blog out of pure bordeom. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't, maybe no one is even reading this. Doesn't matter to me. I just felt like a new one.

thank you, bye!

Things I'm considering getting with the Topshop giftcard I got for my birthday yesterday. I also got driving lessons, first one tomorrow! eeep!

WTF?!

It looks like some kind of monstrous hybrid, it's sickening really. Just no, Topshop, no.

Coming Home Again

Hey!! Sorry for the delay in returning to the blog since I got back, I've been really busy. Got back on Tuesday night at about 8:00 and slept till wednesday at about 9:00 at night. Then I had to get back to school and start catching up on the tons of work I've missed, and my boyfriend took me to see MGMT as a surprise on Thursday night, so I've been ridiculously busy and so exhausted. Anyway, Japan was amazing! I'll post my photos early next week when I finally upload them. Tokyo was awesome, although I would've liked a little more time there, we didn't get that much time to shop. I did buy some things though, two dresses, two scarves, a bag and a little pocket-watch necklace, which is so cute. I'll post photos of new things and some outfit photos from the past few days when I get round to it. It's my birthday tomorrow, so the next week is going to be just as busy as the last few, with various celebrations going on :) so I can't see regular blogging resuming properly till the week after next. Keep checking back though :)
Meanwhile, here's a couple of polyvores I did this morning when I woke up early and didn't want to do work...

Tokyo Tokyo Tokyo!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been up to my neck in work and it's not looking to die down any time soon as I've just switched from chemistry to media studies, because chemistry was awful. So I'm now doing English Literature, Art, Biology and Media, hoping to do something related to fashion buying at university. Anyway, I've missed nearly two months of the Media course so I'm going to have some catching up to do after half term. But the perks outweigh the workload, we're going to see the new coen brothers film, Burn After Reading at the new Leicester cinema, and we're also going to some sort of fashion and film festival later this year, awesome.

Anyway, I won't be blogging for a while as Im off to Japan in the morning on an exchange program for 12 days, so I won't be back here for about two weeks, but you can follow my blog on bloglovin', and be notified when I start posting again.

I'm going to stay with my exchange partner Shotaro for a week, and then I'm going to Tokyo to stay in a youth hostel for a few days. I'm so excited! The exchange school is in Fukushima which is near the Sendai area, which I'm going to on Sunday for shopping. I'm really looking forward to experiencing the Japanese culture and going to a Japanese school, but I'm really nervous about meeting his family and having to introduce myself in front of the whole school in Japanese! I think it's going to be an amazing experience, and I can't wait for Tokyo! I've always wanted to go there. Does anybody have any suggestions for the best places to shop? I'd really appreciate it.

I'll be back with tons of photos and tons to blog about in two weeks :)

Bye :) !

Things You Probably Already Know, But Have Forgotten

Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents, daily.

Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine.

The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan; there was never a recorded Wendy before!

Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors. Also, it took him 10 years to paint Mona Lisa's lips.

A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death.

Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries.

Beautiful Boots

I bought these gorgeous boots on Friday, they're perfect. The leather is soft and smooth, the heel is just the right thickness and height, the buckles are fierrrce and they were only £20 from internacionale. I think I'll be wearing them all winter long.

It could be me, but it's actually Paul Paper.

Check out this brilliant project by Paul Paper called "could be me" . It's an exploration of how different artists all around the world interpret a sentence. There are 78 different interpretations so far, these are some of my favourites. What do you think?

Politics can be a laugh

so...who do you guys think should be the next leader of the good ol' U. S of A?

:P

Recent Purchases

I've been on a bit of a shopping spree lately and now I'm all out of cash, so it's a good thing my education allowance is going to kick in at the end of the week and i'll get backpayed for the whole time i've been doing my course, and I'm babysitting this weekend = top dollar = a shopping spree in Nottingham with the bf after I get back from Japan (oh yeah! I'm leaving for my Japanese Exchange for 12 days next Thursday ahhh!)

So yeah, I went to Nottingham last Saturday with the bf after he rescued me from a disastrous Friday night (basically I was at a flat party and the police got called and everyone got kicked out and I was in a park outside the flats with a bunch of strange drunk/influenced by other substances teenagers and eventually managed to get hold of my white knight who came and saved me before the riot van arrived and then bought me chips at 1:30am isn't he wonderful? everyone send thankful thoughts his way please.) Anyway, we went to Nottingham and it was lovely, visited little vintage shop Cow and then attempted to find the massive Vintage Warehouse to no avail, better luck next time. Anyway I bought this hat in Cow, isn't it adorable? I feel like a goat herder :)

And I got some fierce wrist candy. It's a little pathetic right now, but I will increase the number of angry-looking accesories to make dresses and cardigans less twee.

Then this afternoon my mum and I went shopping for slippers, as apparantly I have to wear slippers at the school in Japan, and at the home of my exchange student, one pair for each. We ended up charity shopping and high street shopping too, and I picked up a few things. Found this lovely bag for £1 in Salvation Army, isn't it a lovely colour? I also bought a lilac cardigan for 50p which I forgot to take a photo of, but you can probably imagine.

I got this dip-dye cardigan in the George Sale for £2, it'll nice for throwing over white tees when I can't be bothered.

Bought this star-print tea dress in MK one which i usually avoid like the plague, but turns out this wasn't actually an MK one product, it was a dress from a collection of another brand they were selling. When I saw Kate Moss in that starry dress in January, I told myself I wasn't going to buy into the star trend that she dragged back in. But many months have passed, and this dress is flattering and pretty and will cheer up dreary Mondays at school.

And finally, the slippers I went into town for in the first place, aren't they cute? £4 at peacocks, really comfy too.

Anyway, that's all for now, hopefully you'll see me in these things very soon :)
