Hello. It's a not so estranged Capulet(t) (That extra t is the current bane of my life. It is not pleasing on the eye at all.) here post mooky meet. So, as it's my turn to post I thought it would be silly not to include this picture, which features the most well dressed bunch of people I have ever had the pleasure to meet! My mum laughed when I showed her the pictures from the meet because she says we all oddly match together. Which is sort of nice.


I suppose I should describe what I was wearing that day then. My tights and dress are both from primark, as is my denium jacket. I found it for £1 in the winter time and recently decided to stud it and add patches on to it (which are on the back)

Look at how scary we are: Grrrr, argh.

Anyway, love always, Capulet. x

Leopard Print Lateness.

Hello ladies! Once again my post is late because my internet allowance has been reduced by a mad man and I'm very forgetful so here's my post from the 3rd.

Alrighty then. This sugar skull top I got from ebay and cut the sleeves into tassels and then cut the shoulders and tied them to make a vest top thingy.

The belt was free in a magazine ^_^ I'm such a little scab.

The leopard print skirt was a charity shop find. I was a bit unsure of it at first but I think it looks okay on me. I tried so hard to deny the leopard print trend when it first emerged but now look at me going all out on it. I blame my love of rockabilly.
And these shoes are second hand off my mum. They are cute and vintage-y, go with most things and have a low heel I can actually walk in.
Bandanna/headscarf thing is from ebay, fake gauged earrings are from a piercing shop in Cardiff. You can't really see them in this pic though and swallow necklace if from Claire's probably.

A little update on me if you want it:
Tonight I am going to see Eclipse in the cinema :/ Not looking forward to it but I'm looking forward to spending time with my girls (and two boys - but they're not mine really.) I'm looking forward to making fun of sharkfootface man though. I might even be one of those shits that shouts stuff out if I'm feeling particularly rebellious.

Oh yeah and it's three days until the mooky meet. SQUEEEEEE!!

HEY HEY HEY GAIZZZZZZ


Please note that in the title I mean 'guys', not 'gays', I only just realised how it looks. Or both, you know. Please do not feel excluded if you are a heterosexual female.

Anywho, here I am today, labelled from the neck down.
*Red scarf, that was my mum's in the eighties.
*Red beads, my Nana's
*Flamingo/teapot necklace
*White long sleeved top, Tesco
*Grey vest, Topshop
*White belt, Camden
*Green skinnies, H&M

Yeah. My birthday was the other day, and it was one of the loveliest days, mainly because my dear Frusciante came round and we watched 500 Days of Summer, a film I've been wanting to see for ages. And there was cake. I love cake.
Until next time, home skillets!

*Creeps in* Hiiiiiiii




Yeah it's Ruby here, you may remember me from posting months ago. I missed my last two I think- pathetic.


So here's a filler for you.
This picture was taken last week in a very nice bar on Canal Street. It had thrones, so naturally I pulled my fiercest poses, despite being covered in sand from the World Cup fake beach and also being rather damp from the traditional Manchester rain.
I am queen of the high street here, rocking:
New York t shirt from H&M
Shorts from New Look
and cover up thingy from Primark, or Primada as I like to call it.
And if you look very closely, you will also be able to gaze apon my St George cross nails, that aren't tacky at all. Honestly.
It's my 19th on Thursday and also the gorgeous Spikeyfaerie's wedding- so I'll like to offer my best wishes to her and her husband to be.
Good luck gorgeous!
I'll try and be more punctual next time, I promise!
Mwah!
xxx
P.S. So psyched for the Mooky Meet it's unreal!

Lady lolita

Hola! It's Lady Misery here with my newest post! This is one of the two new dresses Mum bought from The Gothic Shop, an online store which sells loads of gorgeous alternative gear. This is my lolita dress, complete with ribbons and pink. You probably can't see the detail properly, but there are tiny silver crowns and cobwebs all over it.

The shoes you see were bought in ASDA (shock horror) for my part as Tallulah in our school's production of Bugsy Malone. I'm wearing skin coloured tights underneath because my legs are currently a mess of insect bites and assorted scratches from God knows where.

The necklace you see is one of my all-time favourites. It is a little egg I got whilst collecting faberge eggs. I LOVED those things.

Anyway, enjoy your wednesday! Love Rachel xx

Horrible humidity

Hello mooks! Antonym here, doing a little fill in post to make up the numbers a bit :) The weather is absolutely boiling and I'm really not a summer person, so I have returned to my gothic roots in an attempt to convince the universe that it is indeed Halloween, so it will BLOODY COOL DOWN.

Now chickies, you may or may not have seen a photo of my mad French hair yet, but here it is in all it's (slightly blurry, a thousand apologies for my dreadful camera) glory. When I first had it cut and then dyed it, my dad came home from the pub, glared at me for an inordinate length of time and then remarked "Well, it may be more corporate but I prefer the pink, I don't like this". Bugger off, old man! I think it's brilliantly weird. For my interview I wore it sleek and straightened, but since then I've just been putting a bit of mousse in it and ruffling it up for a 'loveable street urchin' look. You've got to pick a pocket or two, boys... For special occasions I plan on attacking it with hairspray and then backcombing like mad, which will hopefully make me look like a Victorian lady who has fallen on hard times, gone insane and been carted off to an asylum where they have hacked off her lovely long locks to sell to wig makers, and left her with a bizarre bird's nest. Ahem. Anyway... Back to the outfit...

This is one of my favourite dresses, it's from boohoo and surprisingly comfortable in the summer. Even if it wasn't, I'd still wear it all year round, what can I say - I'm a sucker for black lace. The tights are just sheer black ones from Dorothy Perkins (laddered I'm afraid, hosiery despises me), and my shoes (which you probably can't see very well) are Primark's finest turquoise leopard print slip ons. I'm also wearing my silver ankh necklace, and a bit of eyeliner.

Where did you go in this glorious get up, I hear you ask? A Hungry Horse pub, for a cut-price curry and glass or two of cheap white wine. We're classy here in Berkshire. I ate far too much and felt bloated, then decided to record my discomfort. This is my 'if I eat another bite I am going to explode like Mr Creosote' face. Sexy. At least you can see a bit more of my dress here! Mmm, goffiks. Anyway chapettes and chaps, it's past lunch time so I'm going to go and mix myself up a gin and tonic and play with my new phone a little more (it's dreadfully high tech and gorgeous, and it has a Guitar Hero game on it! No lie! Absolutely bizarre, I love it).


In the words of Charlie Brooker, "That's the end of the show, now go away."

I'm actually on time for once!




Yay! So today my mum and step-dad went to cuba for two weeks, which means I get to look after their house, and Molly, our very very old lady dog. My mum treated me to a facial and to have my eyebrows waxed earlier by her beauty therapist, she did a bloody good job on my eyebrows. I leave them to grow wild because I'm scared I'll pull them all out!!! And on Saturday I'm booked in to get my hair cut and dyed at the hairdressers, which my mum paid for too, as 'payment' for minding the house/dog!

So, my outfit today is my bargain dress from New Look, it was £15 in the sale and I love it. It ties up at the back and with two bows, I've tried to take a picture but it's very hard to take a picture of your own back with a mobile phone. My tights are also from New Look, and my shoes are from Matalan. I stupidly forgot my ID so I'm off to try and get served in the shop for some cigarettes!

Hmph, the picture uploader has made my post all backwards... It's so hard to figure out how to get the pictures where you want them on this thing!
