Hello Bleach

"Same Dirty Game, Burning Like A Flame"
-Dub Pistols

What I'm Wearing:
Frassy Rags "FAKE" Tee (Buy Here), D.I.Y Balmain-Bleach Job to an old pair of H&M skinnies, Topshop Zipper Heels & Bleached Denim Studded Bag: Zara

Have to say: this outfit is very Knighttcat inspired. The Bleach, graphic tee & studded bag remind me SO much of everything her blog embraces.

I leave for London tomorrow. Just about finished packing. Nightmare, is all I will say (but I am so PSYCHED!) Great packing advice from lovely Park& Cube though: thank youu. And priceless words of wisdom in ref. to travelling, from my insane Jenny over at Happy Because, via facebook chat: "I like you. Don't Die. For ME".

And to end, sometimes its really hard to stick to a diet. Being a little hungry for a couple days is tolerable, but after about a week and a half, your mind starts reverting to food: food you want to eat, food you ate in the past, favourite foods....and then it all gets a tad more difficult. However, I discovered the best distraction/diversion ever, and it only costs about 1.50: BLEACH. Take some old dark denim garments, lay them outside, pour bleach sporadically over the denim and watch fashion formations take place before your eyes. The sensation was what I would expect a pyromanic to feel; its mesmerizing, fascinating, exciting and no matter how you try, you just cannot stop! I literally went running back inside to dig up all my own denim and so I poured, poured and poured. Needless to say, it was a denim delight.

Or maybe I am just uber nerdy and find really common cleaning chemicals intriguing.
Either way, the bleach fumes have certainly gone to my head,
I best be off to bed.

Isee the Frassy DID change her nail polish to mint green. Have a fantastic time in London.
I love what you waer here, it embraces summer in the perfect way, a slightly grunge tee, but with bleach tie dyes jeans, you get the feeling of a drug hazed '70s afternoon with velevet underground lighting the steros...
