My darlings! How are you? Good I hope. Well, I've been having a crap few days so I haven't got round to taking a photo of my outfit properly. Luckily I had the initiative to take some emergency photos just in case I felt too gross/sad/ill/lazy to take new ones. As you can see from the lack of pink in my hair these aren't very recent.

Here's my new-ish bag. Do you like? It was made by some local woman who sells bags and driftwood art. The black mini skirt is from Topshop, and you can't tell but it has cute poofy pockets on the front. The tights are from Blue Banana and I loooooove them because they are fishnet but only in a stip down the side. Looks rather snazzy.

Wonder woman top is second hand and the hair was a bad idea.

I've been asked to submit a photo for a style blog on Tumblr. Thing is it has to be a full body shot from head to toe and I don't have any of them and I don't exactly feel like asking someone to take photos of me. :/ Boohoo. Looks like I'll have to pass that up.

Well, toodle pip! xxxx

Hello world!

My dearest and most adoring fans!

I'm really really REALLY sorry if I'm stepping on anybody's toes here, and this is your day, but Candy told me a I could post a few days ago and as I'm so late on the mookwagon, I wasn't actually given a specific day, so sorry sorry sorry!

This is my outfit today! It's actually quite a lot different from what I usually wear, because I tend to have some sort of belt that cuts off my circulation around the middle, and I'm unsure if I like it or will wear it again, but the dress (which is actually a size 16 top I bought on ebay on a whim, fnarrfnaar) arrive on my doorstep in a little package and i got very excited! I do believe it cost 99p or something ridiculous. I'm actually really happy to be wearing the shirt. It's my favourite shirt, and it's so soft and lovely and vintage but haven't worn it for about a year because that's how long ago it was I wore trousers. I was dressed as a pirate, wow!

The spoon necklace I made myself, and I love it. No really, I adore it hugely. It's probably the favourite thing I own. Thing is, people don't seem to understand it. I get asked a lot on whether I use it to eat yoghurt. I don't even really like yoghurt. It's made from fermented cow. And it causes lots of dialogues like this-

IDIOT: Is that a spoon around your neck?
CHARLIE: No darling, it's fashion.
IDIOT backs away slowly. CHARLIE sinks to her knees in despair
CHARLIE: WHY CRUEL WORLD, WHY? WHY GOD HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?
SARDINE enters, and taps CHARLIE on the shoulder with walking stick.
SARDINE: This serves you right for wearing eating utensils around your neck to look as though you have a personality. raises top hat Good day mam'sel!
Exuent SARDINE.

50's Hood Look... Misery style ;)

Hey y'all! It's Lady Misery, and today I'm wearing my baby (leather jacet, now a size too big for me) a bright red camisole top, the basic blue jeans any self-respecting 50's hood would wear and... fluffy blue bed socks. With cats on. I forgot to grab a photo of them, but I think you can just about see them here.

The sunglasses you see here are last year's- I have new ones now in black. However, I was too lazy to retrieve them from my handbag so here are my beauties from last summer. They do not look very Goth. But then again, it is summer so my wardrobe is gonna be pretty limited.

This here on the right is my brand new 'The Lost Boys' poster. Keifer Sutherland, in his prime, hanging over my bed everynight. Drool. Okay, that sounds kinda creepy and Edward Cullenesque, but it's okay. I have Eric Draven on my opposite wall to keep me company :)

I hope you all have a fab summer! Love Rachel xx

Zu spaet...

Hey beauties! This is my delayed post from the 29th [?] of May. I couldn't post that day because I was holed up in a cottage in West Yorkshire for my future sister-in-law's hen weekend. I was hoping I might be able to post some nice pictures of my outfit on the night we went out in Leeds, but alas, there were no good photos at all. I will, however, provide you with one photo from the night, which I find hilarious because it emphasises exactly how giant I seem to be. Towering over everyone else...I think my knees come up to Jo's armpits, lol.

Everything's been a bit crazy because of the arrival of everyone's favourite time of year: the exam season. All but one of my housemates have finished now except me; I've got an Old English exam on Tuesday which I am dreading slightly because it is an absolute fucktonne of work. On the bright side, though, it's been so warm that I've been able to spend most of the day in the garden. Before that, my revision space looked like
this, and my room is still cluttered with myriad books and notepads and sheets of paper. Suave.

My outfit today is a little bizarre, because I got a package in the post yesterday from my mum which contained a skirt. Bearing in mind my mother is generally not very good at picking out clothes of my taste, I was apprehensive, but the skirt is really nice. The only problems I have with it are that it's really a little too long [more librarian than secretary], and that it's got a layer of aqua netting round the bottom which is more twelve-year-old goth than anything else. I think I'm going to modify it slightly when my exams are finished, but then I will wear it all the time.

Other than that, today's outfit is just a plain black tank top I got from Peacocks years ago [but is one of my favourite staple items of clothing], flowery ballet flats from New Look, and a little bottle necklace made by a friend of mine. It's been so warm today that I didn't really want to make much effort, plus it's not as though I'm going out with all the revision I'm supposed to be doing. Oh, wait, revision. That's what I'm supposed to be doing now. Til next time, Mooks...

I'm crap, I'm sorry.

Okay, so I've missed probably a few dates, but I'll make it up I promise. I have no interesting things to wear nice clothes to right now. But have some pictures of my slobbing it in my PJs with no make up and messy unwashed hair. Yeah, I'm sexy, right? My PJs are from Primark and my slippers are from Tesco I think!

Let's pretend it's May 23rd.

Hallo!

My darlings, I am so sorry for not having posted, I took pics and everything and thought I'd done it but I never did. Please forgive me! ):

I cut out my head in the first photo because I looked weird. However, I know that everybody is just DYING to see my face (note the sarcasm here), I'm posting yet another photo. Please focus on the jewellery, not my startled expression.

I'm wearing a charcoal dress I bought in Dorothy Perkins a few weeks ago on my Great Dress Raid which resulted in six new dresses. I like this dress because I think it's really pretty, the colour is nice and muted and I love the flower embroidery. On my feet you can see my wonderful black leather brogues - I adore them! I'm also wearing sheer tan stockings from H&M. It took me a long time to find "tan" stockings that don't look orange when I put them on. I suppose these stockings are so white-ish because H&M is originally a Swedish shop and everyone is pale in Sweden! Hurrah!

Let's move on to more interesting things. I'm wearing a black headband that goes back to my mother's teenage years. The necklace is from Accessorize, I bought it last summer at Gatwick Airport because I had to spend my last Pounds before going back to my silly Euro zone country. The bracelet is, I think, from Tunisia. I don't remember who gave it to me, but I like it because I'm pretentious and it makes people think I've been to Tunisia. :P

This will be all for today, I'm off to practise the piano like a madwoman. My exam's on the 15th and I am, in coarse terms, shitting bricks. Oh yes I am.

Toodles!

2nd June. Winter ahoy!

I am so happy Winter has finally begun! I didn't realise at the time, but I inadvertently celebrated by buying myself a new coat. I also bought a new dress the day before then from Tree of Life.

The coat is a black cotton coat for every day wear and the dress underneath is from Tree of Life and is tie dyed and awesome.
