May

May has been the fastest passing month of 2011 by a mile! So much so, i forgot to do this post on time. For the first couple of weeks after getting back from the States i felt very out of sync, it felt like i'd never left yet a whole month had passed so i was essentially a month behind, bad times.
I had such an amazing day yesterday and was dreading all the menial tasks i had to do today like washing and hoovering but then i remembered BMB was due a monthly round up so this is a very welcome relief from boring housework : )

I am so glad this month has been good. I was quite worried i'd be on my post holiday blues the whole time but in all honestly aside from a couple of moments where i missed Seattle i've been a proper happy chappy.
We've had consistently nice weather, i spent two weekends camping & reenacting, i met some new and pretty dang awesome people, it was my birthday, the list goes on and on.
The one thing i am a bit bummed over is that i FAILED at taking pictures. My promise for June is that you guys will get a seriously picture heavy end of month post.


MUSIC
As always; just listing the stuff that srsly sticks out.
Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta! (the whole album in it's awesome entirety)
Seasick Steve - My Home (Blue Eyes)
The Very Best of Otis Redding (again, the whole album)
Lady GaGa - Judas
Adele - Hiding My Heart

FILMS
Someone take me to the cinema, i haven't been in so, so long. It's a damn shame. I watched Little Miss Sunshine on the flight home right at the start of the month, what a cute and awesome film, so good! I guess May was a bad month for me and cinema.

BOOKS
I read Recorded Zombie Outbreaks and The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks but aside from those i've mostly been on a magazine binge. I was getting bored of glossy pages though so i'm pretty thankful to the person who has just lent me World War Z by Max Brooks : )

I always write this little bit at the end like "So this was an amazing month, so good blah blah blah" and it just occurred to me how much that makes it sound like i was expecting a shit time. I don't panic myself into a stupor on the 1st of every month thinking it's all going to crumble around me as the days pass, honest. I guess i just A: Need a way to end the post and B: Want to celebrate how awesome my life is!
So yeah, May was a fantastic month, I am so excited to see what June brings i'm finding it hard to contain myself! Love to y'all.

Alive and Kicking

What an amazing weekend i had! I didn't take a single picture though : /
I went camping/reenacting. I really should post some pictures of what i wear whilst doing my little historical bit, i suppose that would tie in quite nicely with the theme of BMB. I'm off again in couple of weeks so i'll remember to be snap happy then.

I'm pretty sure it was Memorial Day Weekend for those of you in the US so like us lot here in Olde England you got a long weekend. I hope it was fabulous for each and every one of you!
From what i've seen and heard from friends across the pond you guys had awesome weather.
Ours wasn't too bad but i did get rained on and nearly froze to death in my tent on Monday night: damn you cold front coming in from the east!

I'm super pumped to do a good half week of posting now i'm back and well rested (nothing like your own bed and a good hot shower!)


Mucho Amor Lovelies : )

Seeing Red

Jeans - £30 - ASOS Curve

As much as i adore the colour red i actually do not own one single piece of red clothing. I have some patterned stuff with red in it and i wear red lipstick but i think red is a seriously hard colour for me to pull off! I always felt like a 14 year old punk-pop addict when i wore my now long gone red t-shirt with black jeans, there's something about the colour combo. I guess the point, or question i'm trying to get to is what do you guys think?

I've been wanting to try the whole coloured jean thing for a while and i'm desperately in love with these. I just worry about [A] Looking like my 14 year old self and [B] only ever wearing these with a plain white tee for fear of [A]

Maybe you have some outfit suggestions? Any help would be appreciated so that i can successfully own colourful denim without reverting to my emo baby-punk fashion mishaps!

Morgaine: 20 Today

It feels so strange saying 20. I'm not so sure i like it just yet. I already feel like i can get away with less mischief : /

Here's a whole bunch of pictures of this evening starting with my outfit and then some shots of my meal with dad. We went for Moroccan food and a hookah pipe then on for one (un-pictured) drink.

 

BLOUSE:DOROTHY PERKINS SKIRT:TOPSHOP TIGHTS:EVANS SHOES:TORRID

I actually wore flat shoes with this in the end because the restaurant is all cushions blankets on the floor and sitting cross legged with wedges on for a meal is tricky. I am currently living in black tube skirt based outfits, it's just easy and comfy and i really fucking like it : )

For anyone interested the wedges are SO comfortable. It's like wearing flat shoes, honestly, i love them.

And now for lots of random pictures like the books i got as presents and the decor of tonight's food venue!

OOTD: Brian Fantana

So i didn't get a single shot of my clothing last night, i was having too much fun, i hope this makes up for it though! I'm not actually that hungover, more tired due to sleeping on my friend's floor for less than 6 hours, but whenever i wake up from a night out i always think of that scene in Anchorman

 

 DRESS:PRIMARK T-SHIRT:H&M BANGLE:EVANS

Yeah, still wearing yesterday's make-up, rock and roll baby.
I have been dying to show y'all this dress. I bought it the weekend i got back from the states for £9, god i missed Primark; yes it's busy and messy and not exactly consistent but you can score some serious bargains! I bought the top in America and saw no one wearing it there but since i've got back i've seen 10 people in it, random fact but i thought you should know : )
I really need to learn how to knot t-shirts better, this one ain't to bad but sometimes it looks terrible when i do it, srsly terrible.
I'm not wearing any shoes, because i'm a free spirit flower child (as i announced to the whole of Topshop yesterday when i walked around the store wearing 3 flower headbands which, for the record, i did not buy)

The more i look at it the more i am loving double stripes! And the thing about it is i threw this on. I packed the dress in my bag yesterday to wear on the drive home and when i got in i put the t-shirt over it. I didn't plan it or think about what i was doing i just chucked it on.
I swear some of the best outfits happen when you put no conscious effort into dressing yourself : )
