So it's awfully late...

Sorry ladies and gents, or gent in the case of Dave! I missed out on my last scheduled post - in fact I might have missed out on two, when my next one is due, I'll post two!
So here's a fill in post to make up for the missed May post.

This is an outfit I threw on to go up to the shops just because it was such a lovely sunny day. The beautiful weather we've been hving is such an oddity in Scotland, but I'm loving it regardless. It's not much fun while I'm work with no AC, but it's nice when I finish my shift for the night and it's still warm outside.

Anyway, my dress is a sundress I bought out of my work for £2.30! It was originally £17.99 when it came in, and gradually dropped down in price till it went into sale for £3. I got it then with my discount and I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it. I've had to repair the design at the bust and both the straps, but it's still rather lovely ^^
My sandals were also bought from Internacionale and I had to buy them because it was getting too hot in the shop to wear my combat boots. These are much cooler, but don't actually have much about them by way of a shoe, so they get uncomfortable after three ten hour shifts in a row.

My bag was a present from my mum for when I was going to a New Year's dinner dance. It's from Topshop and it's one of only two things I actually own from there. I'm not much of a fan - can never find anything I'd actually manage to pull off in there. It's a nice bag, just big enough to fit my phone and purse.

So again, apologies for the lateness!

longest day

Mooksters, I am ecstatic for I don't have to revise any more! After weeks of panic-cramming I'm finally free to do as I please...which at the moment is sitting in a boiling computer lab from nine til five every day, listening to recordings of four people having a conversation and transcribing exactly what each individual is saying. Four people and four hours of conversation...sixteen hours' worth of conversation to transcribe, and it takes longer than you might think: I was working flat out all day today and managed to transcribe half an hour's worth of speech 'Long tings', as my friend Herb would put it. It has its perks, though: on Tuesday last week I gave a presentation to a load of academics and was rewarded with lunch at a noodle bar paid for by the university. I could have a worse job :)

Luckily I'm allowed to wear just about whatever I want to work [though boiling as it is I don't think I'll dare wear shortshorts into the office, much as I'd like to!], so today's outfit consists of:

* Polka-dotted skirt/culottes from Ark. I lusted after this for AGES but it was expensive, so in the end I bought it and refused to let myself wear it until I'd done my exams. It was a good incentive! It hangs in lovely folds and looks like a skirt, but...LOOK! IT HAS LEGS! [me AND the skulottes]. Oh myyyy.
* Grey sweater, which came from TK Maxx but which I believe is Tommy Hilfiger [no logos on it or anything though, luckily]. I regretted wearing this today as I was roasting.
*Black footless tights, pretty standard.
* Pink dolly shoes with black lace over the top, from New Look [I don't think these show in the pictures].
* Silver necklace made by some jeweller friends of my mother :)

I had a bad face moment in the first picture...don't you think my new one is quite an improvement? ;)

And now I am off to read my lovely book and listen to Soundgarden, which seems like a perfect way to spend a summer evening.

EYE HEART BALLZ.

Sorry this is slightly late, ladies. I have had the most hectic, amazing week ever. I went to two May Balls, on consecutive nights. They start at 9.00pm and end at 6.00am, and so I have effectively reversed my sleep cycle and now I am nocturnal.

This is my first dress. I am not showing you my face because it is gross. The dress is from the interwebs, from a shop called e-dressit, in China. It was so cheap, and is so beautiful. I am wearing a necklace with a little elephant on it, because the theme for the ball was Scheherezade. There were live camels and a snake charmer.
I just realised it looks like I have massive shoulders in this photo. I don't think I do in real life... Also, it was so cold, my posture sucks. Never mind. Anyway, it was a lovely night but not a patch on the second ball. Here is dress number two:
My face looked silly in this one too... But never fear, there will be a shot of my head, because I am very pleased with the way my hair turned out. I used rollers! My dress is from Debenhams, my feathery stole is from Monsoon kids...And the lace gloves are from Accessorize. You can't see my fascinator in that picture. Oh dear, I have to upload another one. What a shame...
I am vain... My bad is from Primark like a thousand years ago or something... I was channeling my mother's wedding outfit with the cleavage rose. Gosh my mother is classy. And so am I...

Aaaaanyway, sorry about the late and confuzzled post. I love you all, and I love looking at your clothes!!

Piano exams and other tales.

Good evening, ladies.

Here I am, once again, after a rather turbulent but successful day. As you already know, today was the day of my piano exam. I'm pleased to report that it went very well indeed. Exams are graded here - I got an A and the judges said that I'm a brilliant pianist. Hurrah! (I apologise for the awful webcam-ness of the pics, please forgive me.)

I'm wearing a Dorothy Perkins dress which happens to be one of my favourite dresses. It makes me happy and I was very worried about my exam so I put it on in the morning to cheer up. It worked! I wanted to keep my fingers warm, toasty and protected before the exam, that's why I'm wearing black lace gloves. Jewellery-wise, I'm slightly boring today because I'm not wearing any rings - they get in the way when I play the piano. The beaded necklace was a birthday present from my friends. I love wearing it because it's so versatile and goes with almost every outfit! I'm also wearing two black flowers in my hair, black like my dark beating heart, BWAHAHAHA. Yes.

As for my shoesies, they're lovely and old-fashioned. I've got two pairs because they're so cool and I want to wear them until I die!

Before I go, here's my victorious "I passed grade 7 piano exam!" face:

Toodles!

Since it is a sunday

Good afternoon all. I should really begin this post with an apology. I missed my last post because I was probably sleeping or revising- bad excuses, I know, since other ladies are capable of posting during exam season, I'm sorry.

Now to begin today's post, before one leaves to see her lover. In my typical fashion, I present to you:

• Scarf, from my mummio's bunch of scarves
• Guns N Roses tee
• White studded belt
• Teapot/Flamingo necklace
• Purple skinnies, from H&M

The Guns N Roses tee I've had since I was about 12, but it was a men's size M from HMV, so didn't exactly fit. I only got around to customising it to fit me last summer, after which time it has recieved many a compliment. Enjoy, mes amis.

Holidays In The Sun

I hope I'm not treading on anyones toes by posting a few hours early. I have a fun filled day of babysitting tomorrow, so I wont be able to get to the netbook to upload things I'm afraid.

So, hello! It's the estranged Capulet here providing you with June based joy and wonder. Summer is a strange time where we have these expectations of what it's going to be like, and what we're going to do and instead (in my case) it ends up a dvd and sleep fest, with the occasional bout of responsibility. Or something. I have gotten through a shocking amount of Lost DVDs in the last couple of days. Haha.

So, my outfit:

(If you could possibly ignore my facial expression, the camera was at a particularly unflattering angle and for some reason it's impossible to crop on this blasted laptop)

*Top was found tucked away in the sale section of New Look last summer.

Oddly enough, that's it inside out. I had to cut all the labels off. It's a strange thing.

*My shorts are my beautiful nautical striped pair that I bought from Primark two weeks ago, only to have the buttons break off by a drunken idiot who thought pulling at peoples clothing was a clever way to get attention.

*My tights are also from Primark

Also I'm wearing a bunch of bracelests and my spiked metal cuff that I've had since I was about 13. I also got a little fed up recently and decided to put pink through my hair and stretch my ear, but you can see neither venture very well in these pictures. So that's that then :). A week tomorrow I'm going to see Green Day for the second time. I'm pretty jazzed about that. Have a few parties this week too. Hope you all enjoy your summer :).

Love always.

The day I risked my sanity for this blog (12/6/10)

Okay, so you're probably wondering about the title. If so, look no further than the posters on the wall in a few of these shots! I have not become Jonas Brother crazy overnight, so fear not. I took these pics in my sister's room as she has a lovely contraption known as a full size mirror, therefore it is much more convenient to take pictures!

Today, as you can see, I am wearing some color! (Or colour, depending on where you are from.)


I am wearing my No Doubt t-shirt that I got about this time last year at the concert! They were so brilliant, and I was actually listening to them today, forgetting I had the top on. I always feel like such an obsessed fan when I wear a band t-shirt then listen to them on that day!


Here are my amazing stripey fishnet tights! 2 for $5 at Wet Seal, I believe! I have some purple and black ones, too, but they're not stripey, more just like interwoven. And they ripped a bit. Gahh. I do hate that. I bought some stockings from Victoria's Secret last weekend and they already have those little black lines on them where the thread is bunched together!


Last of all, here is my expression next to a picture of Justin Bieber. This describes the whole picture taking experience, really :P

Ciao,
Immy x
