OOTD: He Is Legend

Here's on of those posts where I wear clothes and strike dodgy and awkward poses! I did, however, have some fun taking these pictures - especially since my tripod has vanished and I had to use a toddler's patio table in its place...Gotta be inventive sometimes, folk!

CHOKER - Ebay
TOP - He Is Legend gig
SHORTS - Primark
FISHNETS - New Look
BOOTS - Missguided
BRACELET - Actually a necklace, from Primark
SASS - All mine

Sometimes shorts are just denim underwear, aren't they? I mean - when did it become all hunky dory to stroll about in shorts that just about cover your butt? Who knows. Who cares! Combine with a band shirt, fishnets, a choker and some boots and you're good to go!

What's your take on short shorts? Are you a band shirt fiend, too? Let me know! Comments up top!

OOTD - Pushing Up Daisies

I'm a little bit daisy obsessed at the moment, which is handy since daisy print seems to be everywhere recently. I've never been a floral girl - either in prints or scents, but I think this may be changing seeing as I also can't stop wearing Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' perfume...daisies everywhere!

Something I wore to take the boyfriend out on Monday - how very modern! We wined (cocktailed) and dined at 'Revolucion de Cuba' before heading off to 'Matt and Phred's' for the blue jam, which was ace. If you ever fancy a chilled out evening of music and a drink or two, definitely check out what's on at 'Matt and Phred's', it wont disappoint.

Cardigans and lace aren't very 'me' either, but for some reason I couldn't pass on this one when I saw it. It's probably the '50s/ rockabilly lover in me!

Naturally, with so many typically 'not me' things, I had to bring it back around with a spikey necklace, fishnets and creepers.

All in all a top night - though now I need to find a fellow rum lover I can drag to the 'Havana Club Bar' in the 'Revolucion de Cuba', those rums be callin' my name...

OOTD - Out with a Bang

OOOH WOULD YOU EVER GUESS IT'S 2014?! Because my blog feed sure as Hell hasn't, I feel like I know absolutely everyone's resolutions and plans for the year ahead, it's madness! So I'm not going to bore you with that stuff, just show you what I wore to party into the new year...

I spent the night drinking old school Sailor Jerry's from the days when it tasted like caramel, dancing with my sister/ boyfriend/ friends to a mix of rock and power ballad classics, running away from a guy who looked like Kurt Cobain and stuffing my face with veggie burger. All in all - excellent fun!

Hat - New Look
Vest - Primark Jumper - Internacionalé
Necklace - Topshop
Bag - Vintage
Skirt - New Look
Tights - Primark
Shoes - Demonia
I felt a bit like somebody from 'Clueless' meets stereotypical American high school 'alt kid' which I guess is a pretty good mix for me!

I hope you all had a great night, and happy new year!

Up in the Woods...Video/ Photoshoot

My boyfriend, Jonny, loves making films, editing, playing with cameras, so what better way to test out his shiny new Canon 5D than playing in some woods? I snapped pictures (attempting not to get in his way) - it's a challenge  taking photos when the model isn't posing FOR YOU! You might just recognize our model, Lis, from this post where I took photos in her cellar.

These are my three favourite shots, though they look quite flat thanks to Blogger's compression -_- I wish I could upload them in a higher resolution as the depth of field really POPS...ah well!

I'll post links and 'behind the scenes' pictures whenever the final video is put together - but that probably wont be for a while yet. Either way, it's definitely gonna be a stunner...

Follow Lis on Twitter/ her blog/ her Tumblr.
Follow Jonny's blog if you're into filming and editing geekery (and horrific pictures of me).

OOTD - Leather Look and Sheer Shirts

Something I wore yesterday to go exploring! I've spent all week being super busy with uni (even though it hasn't *officially* started yet) so myself and my flatmate decided to go and look for 'some green' and explore the town. Bolton is mostly shades of grey and rust so far. And the chippies close at 5pm on a Friday - what's the deal with that?!

Hat - New Look

Necklace - Antique

Top - Primark

Sheer Blouse - Peacocks

Leggings - H&M

Boots - Peacocks

Right now I'm listening to the drip of semi-wet clothes hanging from my curtain rail, since I went a bit Cinderella and had to wash my clothes in the kitchen sink ahaha. There are 3 washing machines between 700 people in these halls and no laundrettes -_- Ah well! Time for some much needed Rekorderlig and a City and Colour fest :)

How would you wear these leggings? I felt like Ricky Martin going to fancy dress as a pirate!

Pretty Polly Suspender Tights

I know I'm so late to the party that everyone is ordering taxis, crashing on the sofa or raiding the fridge, but I HAD to show you my suspender tights! I've been wanting a pair since I first saw the House of Holland ones, but refused to pay £12 for a pair (I go through tights like Jordan goes through fake tan - with reckless abandon). I'm not a big fan of the ones with hearts, bows or scalloped edges so was really happy to come across these...

I love them! I wore them today with denim hotpants, a Jack Daniels top and black military boots for a trip to Manchester Art Gallery. I really wanted to see the Anish Kapoor exhibition - everything is so much more striking in person, well worth a look (no excuses, it's free and right by Picadilly Gardens!).

Do you own suspender tights? What do you wear them with?
