Polyvoring

Hey guys, long time no see! :)

- I've been finding it really difficult to find time and space to take outfit pictures. Excuses such as the fact I don't have a decent camera, and the family one is far to complicated and foreign to understand. I'm thinking of investing in a DSLR but finances at the moment are being spent on driving lessons, a car and insurance. So that's really out of the question. There's nowhere around I'd like to use as 'photo space'; apart from outside, which I personally don't particularly like. I'd like a plain white wall, with good natural lighting surrounding it. Which we don't have. But to be completely honest, I can't be bothered, my outfits aren't that interesting, and they're starting to look a bit dated. Due to the fact I have no money, I haven't been shopping in a while.

- I dyed my hair again! Actually I dyed it twice in three days. The box was blonde, but on the side, it showed it would come out light brown on my natural hair colour. I had to re-dye it a bit lighter afterwards because it only showed up on my roots, not my whole head. It still looks lighter on top, but not as bad as before. I'm going to re-dye it before I go back to school, because by then my roots would have come through.

-As I mentioned before, I'm buying a car! WOO! Kinda excited, I had my first lesson yesterday and it went really well. I know buying a car might seem unimportant at the moment, but because I'm trying to pass in as little lessons possible, I need to practice A LOT, so what better way than to buy a car?! Seen as it's too expensive to get insured on my mums car I may as well get my own. I've done a few trips to view cars, majority of, have been a pile of crap. Bar one, it was beautiful! A Ford Ka, luxe version, low mileage not a bump in sight. Then some stupid bidder outbid me on eBay. So now, I'm not allowed to buy a car on eBay, only autotrader. I'm viewing a Silver Ka later today and a Burgundy one tomorrow, so fingers crossed I'll have car by the end of the week!

- I've always has Polyvore, but I forgot about it, and didn't really know how to use it, but today I decided I'd work it out. So I downloaded the clipper thing, so I can upload photos of things from sites that might not register on the site. I also worked out how to put text on it and actually publish it rather than save it as a draft. I used it to create two sets of things I'm lusting after for A/W this year. There's lots of shearling, leather, suede, luxe fabrics, buckles and studs and earthy tones. All in all, I'm quite happy with the outcome, and I'm really starting to LOVE those Suede chunky heels from River Island and the Acorn necklace from asos!

Anyway, enough of what I can't afford!
I'm going to promise you I'll put more effort in with outfit posts and interviews. I have a few lined up, so that's a head start.

"If"

CENSORED: Look away now if you have an empty purse and don't like temptation!


(Everything Topshop)


I should get a ban on online shops. I genuinely get all depressed after online 'window' shopping for things I can't even buy! I need a ban, some parental block or something.

This morning was VERY productive. I stayed with my bestests last night and we were abrubtly woken at 7.30, leaving at 8.30am to go to and set up our Car boot sale! YUM! (NOTICE sarcasm) None of us thought twice about bringing jumpers or coats... because it was a glorious morning. But how that changed! Within an hour I was wearing a BRIGHT blue knitted poncho thing over my outfit, just to keep warm. My dignity literally, happily leaped out of the window in spite of keeping toasty. Chic! It then got worse and I ended up sporting an ankle length camel coloured 'felt' coat over the top of the blue fluffy thing (think; cookie monster style) Attractive.

But, on the brighter side, we're 80 squids up, I scored a gorgeous pocket watch, which was infact, my grandads and mine for the taking anyway, silver cross earrings and cross necklace, 2 first edition Enid Blyton books, a stamp collection and a vintage bag! YAY! I'm sure the bag will be making its debut soon :)

Hope all is well elsewhere!
