7th Febuary, Christian Feast Day


07/02/10 and Darahgna (Angharad) here!
Today I was working so I took my photos in the staff room. I am a Lushette in the Bath store and I absolutely love it! My photo is take in the staff room hence the posters saying lovely :D One of the girls was sick so I had to stay on an extra half hour but I got a lunch break so I got to chill out for five. I don't think people realize how hard it is to work in Lush. You have to learn lots of ingredients and what certain products do and who their right for. Nonetheless you get to play with bubbles and bath bombs and work with kick ass people.
Our dress code is black and white so I had a nice polka dot skirt and a plain white t-shirt with a cardie. The skirt is from H&M about a year back and the top and cardie are cheap things from Tesco.
My boots are just kick ass, their doc martens and I got them for christmas from my mammy. Their limited edition ones so I was so excited when I got them.
My day have been really good overall, work was quiet so we mainly cleaned and danced to pass the time and when I got home we decided to watch some movies. We watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I thought would be a crappy romcom, but I really really enjoyed it. It's one of those films you can switch off too.
I also finished my book, Grave Surprise by Charlene Harris. It's a really epic and awesome book by the same author who writes True Blood (the Sookie Stackhouse series) and it's about a girl named Harper who was struck by lightening and now has the ability to discover how a person died if she's near their body or bones. The book is a thriller and she goes off with her brother to try and solve the murder of a little girl. Very Gripping, I'd advice you all to read it!
I'm now going to go off and chill out before doing some Philosophy work.
Anyway, love and cwtches to you all!!

Snapshot of Laziness.





















So today I was entirely lazy but also incredibly busy so I only have a snap shot of the detail on a top I was wearing today with jeans.
I had a horribly long and busy day at work being scolded by customers for things far out of my control and it wasn't fun. However it has been raining, which I adore and i went for a drive in my newly bought car! it's a cute little Peugeot and I'm so happy with it!
But about the outfit, my mum bought me the top yesterday after she decided she loved it and needed to see it even if they didn't have her size :P I think the detailing is really sweet, hopefully it's good enough to post, it's the only photo I got today :(
Sorry guys, better post next time.

Post Number 38 for you, Number Two for me!

Hello, loserbutter/Emily reporting for duty! Today, I am wearing one of my favourite outfits. I like it for two reasons:
1) I like it!
2) Other people actually compliment it too!

What exactly am I wearing?

1) A Bikini Kill top which I believe you can get on the Kill Rock Stars website but I got mine from eBay.
2) A Black high waisted skirt with attached braces from Urban Outfitters (bought when I had a much better budget than I do now!!)
3) Grey leopard print leggings from the oh so classy George @ Asda

You can't see the leggings very well in the picture to the left but if you look to the right, there's a better picture of them.


My day so far has been pretty interesting. I'm studying English Literature with American Studies at uni but it worked out so that last semester, I only did English and this semester I'm doing the American Studies. I find American history and how their political system was developed really fascinating if I'm honest. My last seminar finished at 1 and I've got another lecture at 4 so I came back to my flat just so I could post this blog :) Even though I've got a part time job now, by some miracle I'm not working tomorrow which means I am going out tonight and getting absolutely wasted, hooray! Have a good day everyone!

And a second update today because I am a goon

Sorry, my beloved Mookies! I had somehow got it into my head that my day was the 5th of Feb, not the 2nd, as a result of exam stresses and forbidding myself from foruming for a couple of days so I could get the fuck on. Exams are over as of yesterday and a message from Candy prompted me to check the date and...*facepalm*. But now I can return to the real world, here's the entry you should have had on February 2nd.

It's 3.15pm and I've only just got out of my jimjams, in my determination to allow myself maximum dossing time. It feels really weird not having exams. Should I not be doing some work of some kind? Oh wait, no. Well, what do I do with my day then? God knows. But yes, It's mid-afternoon and I've only just got dressed and it's rather nice being able to do so.

Today's clotheses consist of:

* A rather nice pale green top I bought from New Look the other day. I love green clothes because of the nice clash they provide with my hair.
* Underneath it is a plain black vest top from H&M which has a black lace trim and straps. Most of my clothes seem to come from H&M - their basic line is pretty ace because it's really cheap and has lots of useful things, like plain long-sleeved tops and t-shirts and suchlike.
* Thick woolly grey tights which, despite me buying size M/L, are too short, so the crotch keeps falling around my knees and I keep having to pull them up in a really unladylike way. Having long legs is ridiculous because I can never get jeans to fit and I have to buy tights in huge sizes so they'll even cover me. Grr.
* A rather nice high-waisted black circle skirt, also from H&M, with a clippy belt. I really like this skirt but I can't for the life of me decide whether or not it suits me because it sits so high up, and because of my long legs and a short waist I wonder whether it makes my upper body look tiny and weird. Perhaps I read into these things a little too much.
* And footwear-wise - stripy socks from Tesco [I am a classy bird, I'll have you know] and my beloved flowery DMs again. I don't think I could ever get sick of wearing these.

Once again, apologies for being a noob and getting my dates wrong. On that note, I'm going to go and spend the afternoon doing bugger-all. Bimble around the internet, write a couple of letters, do the washing up; all the fun things in life. Not to mention continue ripping all my CDs into Windows Media Player after last week's computer disaster! I'm not even halfway through yet, and it's taking years. Currently listening to Suzanne Vega, who made beautiful acoustic singer-songwriterish music in the 70s and 80s and is still doing so. If you can get hold of the song 'Small Blue Thing' then you really really should.

Much love to you all :) xxx

Just a short one today, before I dash off to work -I've taken a picture of my pre-work clothing rather than my super-sexy Ikea uniform. I work in the restaurant, and have to wear a hat and hairnet, plus my uniform is about twenty sizes too big. No-one wants to see that.
Today most of my clothes come from Primark! I'm wearing:
  • White Clouds t-shirt, Primark -I bought this about two years ago for a holiday to France with my then-boyfriend and his family, it was part of my pre-holiday clothing haul, and I still love it.
  • Long Grey Cardigan, Select -This was only purchased yesterday! I love long cardigans, and the colour of this will go with pretty much anything, I think. Plus the fabric is nice and smooth.
  • Jeans, Primark -I need a new pair of jeans actually, these have lasted well but they're on their last legs I think (excuse the terrible pun).
  • Beaded necklace, Primark -This is terribly long, so it's actually wrapped around two or three times. I know at least three other people will this same necklace, all of whom wear it quite frequently, so I don't tend to wear mine too often.
  • Doc Martens -Schuh -Got these in the sale a couple of months ago, and I love Love LOVE them! They're a size too big, but I couldn't let them go, so I just wear an extra pair of socks with them.
  • And, as usual, I'm wearing my silver bangle, green bracelet and silver & amber ring.
Ciao bellas, I'm off to serve meatballs!

Your argument is invalid.. So here's a Ruby with a bunny on her head. [Day 33 I think]


It's been a little sparse on the blog recently, our delightful pink haired Annis has gone AWOL, but we've got our spies, so we'll find her.

I'm currently writing with 14 minutes of my day left, but it's been pretty busy what with trekking to a police station that doesn't exist and then one that does (IN THE SNOW, IN FABRIC SHOES) and being spoken to like I'M the criminal. I tell you what, if I had known I was going to get so much grief from Bad Cop and Bad Cop's Arse Wiper Cop then I WOULD have sold my bus pass to a dealer and got some cash for it like they accused me of. I might as well, they treated me like I had. To be fair to them, they see that scam all the time and probably assume that every student who loss their bus pass is pulling it, but it is so infuriating standing and smiling when you're being spoken to as if you're scum and you know you don't deserve it.

To Patronise and Spit on?

ANYWAY. CLOTHES.
I have a bonanza of images today.







These are my beautiful velvety slippers that I loveeeeee. They got very wet in the stupid snow.


That is my Icelandic rune that I got SURPRISE in Iceland last year, it means creation. :)

Here's my whole outfit:



I got the belt in a Spanish market for one euro and I actually need to glue it together again...
The dress is actually a skirt from New Look, but I pretty much only wear it as a dress.

I'm calling this blog post over now, as it is 15 minutes into the next Mook's day!
P.S. Ignore my rash ridden skin in the first pic, I have been struck with a plague- OUT OF BLOODY NOWHERE MAY I JUST SAY ATFER A PUBERTY OF PERFECT SKIN ARGHHH.
P.P.S. My hat is awesome.
P.P.P.S I HATE the way Blogger deals with images, this has taken me bloody ages.

Hi guys,


If you look at the title of the blog today's date is a palendrome - 0102 is the opposite of 2010 :)
Not that much is going on with me atm just excited about the half term in two weeks as I'm going up to Camden with my friends and then to the Hole concert also in London, apart from that school is as dull as ever and I am freaking out about the art courework deadline :S Wish me luck.

So my outfit today is actually my uniform minus the gross red school jumper.

- High waisted skirt - New Look
- White shirt with balloon sleeves - Topshop
- Shoes with 2 / 3 inch heel - Clarks
- Waist belt - New Look
- Leopard Print Hair Band - Friend's stall
- Necklace with moon and planet signs - Random french shop.

Hopefully next blog will be a weekend so I can do something more exciting if not I'll do a previous outfit or dress myself up.


Love Sophie x
