'On Wednesdays We Wear Pink'

So, I finally got the courage up to do an actual clothes post, and I'm new to this so try not to judge me too harshly. Thought seeing as it is the 10 year anniversary of Mean Girls, I'd do an inspired post of a 'Pink Wednesday' sort of outfit.






And here goes..

Oh and apology in advance for the 'mirror selfie,' the auto focus on my camera wouldn't, well.. focus on self timer so this was the only option. My mirror has weird lines running through it, so I apologise for that too.






 



Top - h&m (very old)
Shirt - Primark 
Jeans - Can't actually remember but possibly also h&m, DIY ripped, click here for my tutorial post
Boots - Ebay, but this is the link for the person who sells them
Scrunchie - DIY

I have actually had four whole requests on a Scrunchie DIY tutorial, from real people!! So a post will follow soon, along with a 'How To' do french plaits on yourself as that has also been requested (fans x)


Happy Mean Girls Day!

London Lights

Feeling a little nostalgic about leaving school forever and I've been looking through my AS photgraphy, and I came across this shoot, mainly taken on London Bridge but also the surrounding areas.

The images were inspired by Michael Bosanko, a photographer who uses artificial and natural lights at night to 'graffiti' on pictures, taken in a slow shutter speed. You'll recognise his work in the Talk Talk advert maybe, well whatever.. this is him:

So this is a little selection of my light graffiti-
hope you like them






Sorry about all the 'noise' in the above picture, it lost focus in the editing ages ago and ive lost the original image so can't fix it!

Best Dressed- Coachella

As every other jealous person in the world I've been stalking coachella instagrams all this month, and as A-levels are still a little while away I thought procrastination could be achieved in the sense of a blog post of a best dressed. (and worst)

Firstly,
OBVIOUSLY BEYONCE
Solange making a fabulous appearance also:
Both rocking afros


The hair, the co-ords, the dance moves - the Knowles sisters are doing it for themselves (Picture: Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images for Coachella)


LOOK AT THAT SASS
Coolest sister duo possibly ever? Except maybe the Olsen twins..

Forget denim cut-offs - this is what we want to wear at Glastonbury (Picture: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella)

Secondly, although perhaps the most obvious best dressed. goes to Vanessa Hudgens, tied in with almost every festival cliche, the shaggy hair, oversized hats and boho look. Love.

Oversized floppy hat and denim cut offs? Check (Picture: Xposurephotos.com)


So buff



I think this is the girl who sings Royal, Lorde?
She looked hot, like sporty chic
And I rate any girl with hair like this who keeps it natural and how she isn't ashamed to have bad skin. New role model or sumin.





Shes a bit like a normalised brunette Florence Welch.


Sienna Miller looked really good, I cant remember who she is, but she looked cool so she gets a spot on here. Im sure she will be over the moon when she reads my blog.



With the Delevingne sisters, also a cool duo. I'm sure theres a third one though. They can go on best dressed, the bikini Poppy is wearing is from a company called Lisa Marie Fernandez, or something like that.



OOH okay, Jourdan Dunn looked amazing, but she always looks amazing, but still, she looked amazing. Now i've said amazing too much and its sounding weird. Anyway, Ms Dunn:



She makes me want to cry



Cassie looked cool, but then when does Cassie not look cool, chilling with P Diddy calmly



Anywho,
Onto worst dressed, idk anymore man. Some celebrities are clueless, its not that hard to dress casually for a festival how can people get it so wrong.

Firstly, Kendall Jenner
Shes just trying waaay too hard to look cool, and she doesnt... she looks like she has a monobrow.




Although she actually looked really good here, for some reason the flares work really nicely, and Im a fan of these gypsy style crop tops.



Kylie on the other hand not so much,personally I didnt like any of her outfits over the weekend. She looks really weird but I cant figure out why.




Ordinarily, I like Ellie Goulding, she comes across pretty down to earth, normally dresses well. But I'm confused by this outfit, is it S&M, is it underwear, is it taken off a horse, idk. And the shorts are possibly the most unflattering thing ever, and she actually has a nice figure. This whole outfit upsets me.



HAHA THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THIS NEXT ONE
The ever beautiful, Pharrell..



"Pharrell performs on stage wearing a fetching hat."
These hats are the funniest things I've seen in time, I feel like he keeps trying to bring it in, but noone is having it. 'Fetch'



Onwards,
Ah I didnt know Justin Beiber performed, but to my delight he did and now he has a place on my worst dressed:



Chance looked spicy though,



Im creasing, someone made this, beliebers are bare funny lol



Andre 3000 actually gives me jokes, I dont know whether I love or hate this, but it can go in worst dressed even though I would probably wear (and rock) this jumpsuit.





I hope noone ever see's how I dress at festivals and thinks to put me on a 'worst dressed' blog, although luckily I dont wear ridiculous outfits. Apart from my wolf scarf/hat/gloves, but thats fine.
Seeing as this is my blog, ill post some past festival pictures that I can find, me ft mates


This is at Reading 2012






Parklife, 2013



Lovebox, 2013


This is Reading Festival 2013, featuring the wolf scarf. Majority of the weekend was just bikini and shorts weather, and that is what I wore.




Slightly wishing I hadn't spent time trying to stru]ing together all these pictures but whatever this is a really long post now..................................... so you are welcome

HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT
