What I'm Wearing: Urban Outfitters Slouchy Long-Sleeved Tee, Studded Bucket Bag, Boots & Jewellery, Vintage Beige Blazer, H&M Sunglasses & Topshop Denim Cut-Offs.

Every question fades away. Doubts always dissolve. Some moments are saturated in life, a few seconds splashed with a sensation so sparkling it burns your bones. Others... flop by, limpingly exhaling but extinct before they have the chance to collapse into the strange perception of "now"....the moment, a moment, every moment- a singular movement of the heart & lungs- any given minute, this one, that one, the next one...

Friday night. Candles that are supposed to smell like the ocean (but really just smell like the standard faux floral hot wax), Erik Hassle sort of screaming through my pathetic excuse for speakers & a big mug of water that should be tea, but I've run out of milk. What I would do to be on a beach somewhere, with nothing but a bottle of wine and my camera.

What I'm Wearing: Frassy Rags Leopard Jumpsuit, H&M Turban & Turquoise Rings.

'Wild' is a word I am rather fond of, from a night out, to the way people's eyes flicker to a fresh new pair of spanking platforms to the drunk women screaming obscentities outside my window the other night. But for now, when life doesn't deliver the most wild of occasions, I feel you can pour any unsatisfied crazy tendencies into what you pull on in the morning. So thats why I am wearing this insane jumpsuit...half of me feels like I should be going to a costume party...another part of feels like I should duelling Halle Berry in Catwoman...but when it comes down to it, most of me absolutely adores this excessively loud garment. You like? You can buy one for yo'self at Frassy Rags. Pair with dangerously high shoes for some Cavalli-esque flair. Or pair it with bare feet and run through busy streets with a cat-eared headband on.

SLR Self-timer and some Artful Dodger are how these photos came alive. Leading me to another point, I have collaborated with my friends at Nokia Music, who are giving five readers, 10 free downloads at the Nokia Music Store. To snap one up, leave a comment, but please tell me something interesting...anything, everything...what you had for breakfast...your favourite coloured socks...whatever. Most original will win. ......Finally, Check OUT Frassy Rags. The Dresses are delicious.

Photos from: Barcelona, London & all the casual clicks of the camera in between these two locations.

Early rises, long days, I'm officially in the home-stretch of my degree. A couple weeks of solid bookworming follows a long, languid month of June sun & European escapes. Finding myself lured into internet shopping, spending money and procrasinating are two whopping evils I should probably avoid. Contemplating the importance of pocket size and depth in garments. I realise this sounds entirely trivial, but there is nothing better than a soft familiar blazer with satisfyingly snug & deep pockets...and nothing worse than purchasing a jacket and finding that its pockets are merely decorative...and don't actually open. Addicted to Van Morrison & my friend, Niia Bertino, what an incredible talent this woman has. The sun peeking into my windows with her voice belting from my speakers is def. more soothing than yoga or pilates or tai chi or anything, I promise. Just listen to her.

What I'm Wearing: Vintage Paisley Blouse, H&M Hat, Rokit Suede Dusty Pink Blazer, Topshop Sand Boots & Balenciaga Bag.

What my Boyfriend's Wearing: Vintage Ray Bans, All Saints Tee, Ralph Lauren Vintage Plaid Shirt, Replay Jeans & Converse Leather Shoes (it took a hell of alot of persuasion to get this photo anywhere near a screen, let alone via the blog)

It would most likely take a truly tedious geek to sit indoors when the sun is shimmering so encouragingly outside...and so such a mantra was acted on, we skipped the books and headed straight to Covent Garden. The refreshing notion of wandering around with a delicious lack of plans is how we stumbled across our afternoon. By evening, we found ourselves in Camden Town, enjoying the company of some hilariously eccentric characters.

Craig Arend from Altamira NYC shot this of me in London. Everything I'm wearing is Vintage, except the Doc Martens...those babies are fakes, and now the black plastic is peeling away, which I kind of love. The city is beautifully sunny today. I'll be outside all day reading Victorian Literature.

What I'm Wearing: Zara Clogs, H&M Jeans & Hat, Vintage Blazer & Silk Blouse & Coach Satchel.


Back from Barcelona. Ate far too many tapas, but finally found some clogs, which should make the extreme diet I must embark on now, that much easier. I am embracing boyfriend jeans, what do you think? I've never been a baggy jeans wearer but these things are crazily comfy. Bought them this weekend, a 20 euro price tag plus a snug fit and a very alluring denim wash & texture. Flying to London tonight, more soon.

What I'm Wearing: H&M Hat & Sunglasses, Zara Suede Heels, Vintage Trousers & Orange Silk Button Up Blouse & Leather Bag.

Really enjoying the exuberant shade of this blouse. I'm not one that usually wears bright colours, but I love the way it looks against the rather dull colouring of the trousers. And the shoes, sorry for repetition. I packed light, so choices are rather limited.

Last night I was up into the early morning, flicking through random Tumblr accounts, some of them are very inspiring...like virtual scrapbooks. On another note, I'm already looking forward to a glass of wine on Friday evening, is that bad?

What I'm Wearing:
Vintage Mint Lingerie Slip worn as Top, Vintage Suede Skirt, Topshop Lace Cycling Shorts, (Vintage) Mint Green Oversized Button Up Men's Shirt, Zara Clutch and Heels.


Something has come over me and I am finding myself increasingly inspired by Old Hollywood Glamour. Sipping rainbow coloured cocktails, dresses that float at your feet, red lips & hair tucked into extravagant buns. An excess of "Darlings" uttered under the breath of a long white cigarette...


This is a rather bizarre outfit, in that its components are not garments I would usually ever wear together, but I really like how it turned out. Mint Green & Black is def. a colour match I recommend, esp as a "pastel shade" warm-up for spring.

What I'm Wearing: H&M Floppy Straw Hat & Bikini Top, Rokit Slouchy Cardigan & Sunglasses, D.I.Y Bleached, Ripped Denim Levis Cut-Offs.


Embracing my two favourite seasons in one ensemble; my most favourite, most simple bikini top that I associate with my most delicious summer memories...layered underneath a cardigan that embodies lingering hints of winter cosiness.

I had a dream the other night about decorative ankle socks, so I guess I should probably buy some of those. I'm going to Barcelona soon, for a weekend. Oh, and just so you all know, I'm sunburnt again.
