"Exclamation Marks"

Friday, June 5, 2009
"The apparition of these faces in the crowd:
petals on a wet, black bough"
-Erza Pound

WHAT I'M WEARING:
Purple Fur Jacket: Oxfam Boutique, Grey Tank & Acid Wash High-Waisted Denim Shorts: Topshop, American Apparel Leggings, Necklaces: Vintage & Topshop. Alexander McQueen Scarf. Sunglasses: Vintage

I finally stopped going out. 2 consecutive nights completely killed me, but now that its Friday : I'm craving a Saturday night out. Sadly, I have too much to do- fun will have to wait until next weekend.

The weather was absolutely foul today- Summer deserted Durham and winter it seems has sunk back in. In need of an energy boost, I went "Thrifting" (a.k.a. browsing the Charity Shops). I found some amazing pieces, including a lace dress from Topshop, a floral blazer and a floral floor-length dress: all for the amazing amount of 12 pounds- exactly the same price as ONE top at Topshop. Seriously, I urge you all to visit your local Salvation Army: you would be surprised at the great stuff you can find!

Currently eating a Nutri-Grain Bar & drinking tea + listening to the Kook's latest album, which I loveee. It is almost half 2 in the morning, another bout of insomnia it seems has kicked it...but I really should go and get some sleep!
