Wait, what?





That's my Hugh. Just thought I'd share his beauty with the world. Sometimes he looks really confused. Others just handsome.

Only Boring People Get Bored.



Yesterday I was bored, so, in order not to be a boring person, I had all my hair cut off. It is now very short, my neck is naked but I love it. Though it will never again look this chic, ever.
A song for our Kizzy in America playing piano. Talent oozing from her every pore.

Gin and Juice.




It's summertime and I have become bored with what is on my ipod, so I went trawling the internet and various other people's music collections and both came across and fell in love with Beirut, there song Postcards from Italy is just lovely, and the video kind of captures a summer feel reminiscent of your childhood, ah tis just great. Just so you know they are not from Lebanon, a rather long and rambling discussion was had about this before a googling of the matter occured, turns out they hail from America, New Mexico if Wikipedia is to be believed.
Also loving the new collections for Autumn, all full skirts, capes, waists and trousers. TROUSERS. God I love trousers, they are friggin awesome, so much more comfortable than jeans and in an amazing cuts and fabrics are just so beautiful. Can not wait for these to enter my wardrobe, above are some of my favourites dudes.

Mad as a Hatter Indeed.


Well, two weeks later, safe to say Ali's in Wonderland was a complete success. The birthday girl and her dress were amazing, and as usual completely unique, and I was soo impressed with the effort all her friends made, it was whopper dude, had a great time!! My own outfit was kind of awesome and I think I will probably wear it again, what can I say sequin hotpants, any excuse.

Mad as a Hatter you say?






My darling Ali shall be turning 21 in a matter of weeks, and in order to celebrate it is having an 'Ali's in Wonderland' theme.
I am the laziest person when it comes to dressing up, love the idea, but when it comes down to it, I'd rather sit on my arse to be honest. As it's Ali though I am going to make an honest effort, so I need some tips. I plan to dress up as The Mad Hatter, sure as Ger says I am a Mad Hatter, so it only makes sense. Any tips or advice would be gratefully received.
Sizzy.

Love, death, violence, sex, anger, anxiety, nightmares, dreams & drinking.




For well over a year now, like a lot of people I have been listening to Florence and the Machine on loop, queuing in snow and frost to get tickets to gigs (always failing) and basically just idolising Ms. Florence Welch. Though it is not my favourite song from the album Lungs, Cosmic Love is undoubtedly a brilliant piece of music, that just evokes such strong emotions from everyone, and sends shivers down your spine the first time you hear it (for the record, My Boy Builds Coffins is my favourite song, it reminds me of my Dad) and she has just released the video for it which is incredibly beautiful, all lights and red hair, relying on the power of the song more than any crazy visual affect that might only distract from it.
Ms. Welch is also a style icon, which at 22 and having really only been on the scene for a year, at most, is pretty impressive, she is the reason I own, and love, sequined knickers, as well as why I kinda want to dye my hair red, basically dude, she's just whopper, go buy the album, or check her on YouTube, it'll be the best thing you do today.

I can't believe this!

Bitch copied my swag!!!

Katy Perry at the 2010 Grammies wearing a nude Zac Posen dress and a bindi.

We all know bindis are my thing... It's the one thing I do that no one else does. Seeing someone else wearing one makes me feel robbed. :(

The question now is, will it become a trend? If it becomes a trend then I started it!

To be honest I will be majorly upset if the general public begin to wear bindis. There's just something about other people doing my 'thing' that makes me want to vomit. If everyone else starts wearing bindis then I'm never wearing one again!
