Weekly Wish

Feeling a bit eccentric?

Ok, so maybe I have too much time on my hands but this week I spent some time having a little look about for some nice, but different, jewellery, and I think I found it on Eclectic Eccentricity. At the moment I really love little animal themed jewellery, and therefore was super excited when I stumbled across their website and found some lovely little necklaces and bracelets, here is just a sample of some of my favourites:

However, my favourite piece on there just has to be this pug necklace; it’s just so cute and I can really see it looking pretty against a dainty little dress and cute ballet shoes, ooooooh :)

You can buy this little jem here.

So yeah, that’s my weekly wish, a wee animal to hang around my neck...

Ciao,

Last Day of Magic

"Last day of magic, where are you?
A little tornado, a little hurricane roar..."

This post's TUNE comes from The Kills, you can see the youtube video for this song here.  If you've never heard of The Kills before, then you my friend have been missing out!  With one of the coolest front ladies in town and the edgy dark lyrics, why wouldn't you love them, I know I most certainly do!

So yup, please check out The Kills!

Anywho, on to the outfit post...

 

Leather Jacket: New Look (Old)

Skirt: Primark (Old)

Cardigan: Primark (£5.00)

Collar Shirt: New Look (Old)

Shoes: Tesco (Old)

Bag: Miss Selfridge (Old)

Scarf: Dorothy Perkins (Old)

Bowler Hat: H&M (£12.99)

I knew I really wanted a bowler hat because quite frankly, I think that they are the bees knees and can make any outfit look too cool for school.  So with some money in my purse I set off in search of one.  Now I don't know if I have a bit of a weird head (it is quite likely givent the brain it contains) but all the hats I tried on (namely the ones in topshop) seemed to be too big, and to be honest with you, too expensive!  So I was thrilled when I found one for just £12.99 in H&M, and being the excellent shop that they are had the hat in different sizes, so mine now fits perfectly!  I do love H&M for having different sizes in accessories, I presonally have child sized wrists so the fact I can actually buy bracelets in here which do not fall off my arms is amazing!  All hail H&M!

My skirt was a bargain a few months back at just a fiver in Primark sale, the cardi, again just a fiver, and the collar is from an old top that I skillfully (not so skillfully) managed to burn a hole in, fortunately, I can still use it for stuff like this :)

Let me know what you think, does the hat work

Peace and Love People,

This week I've been browsing on ebay for a lovely brooch and I know exactly what I want, unfortunately, to have a proper one they appear to cost a lot of money :( booo

Anywho, the brooch I want is a Cameo, and they look a little like this:

I really think that they are just so pretty and would look lovely on a bit of faux fur or on a pretty blouse! Wherever you decide to pin your cameo you can guarantee that is going to look just a tad classy :)

If anyone is feeling particularly generous and would like to buy me one I would be more than happy to accept your lovely gift :)

Kerpow,

Heart of glass

Finally, I have created my first ever outfit post, done so whilst listening to Blondie's "Heart of Glass", hence the title!  On the totpic, you can watch the video here.  If you've never listened to Blondie before, then make sure you give them a go, amazing!!

I've decided from now on my outfit blog titles will be songs I like, thats one way to spread the word about music I love, I think you'll start to see just how eclectic it is!

Anywho, getting off the point here....

So this week I had my first go with my little camera and modest tripod, and this is my first ever outfit post:

Leather Satchel: Camden Market (old)

Shoes: Primark

Coat: Internacionale

Jeans: Primark

Shirt: H&M (old)

Belt: Topshop (old)

I love this satchel, I've had it absolutely ages, bought it on one of my first trips to Camden, one of my favourite places!!  I do wear it with absolutely everything, so it will pop up on more than one or two occassions so learn to love the satchel!! 
I'm a massive fan of jeans and shirt, any combination, any colour, it's all good!!! Especially when teemed with a pair of brogues, I do spend alot of time in my brogues.

On a totally separate note, but not that separate because I wore this outfit on the way up, I've just been on a course up to London.

This was the first time I've stayed over anywhere by myself, I know, I'm a big girl now!  It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be, I had two meals by myself (Yo Sushi and pub grub) and sat in Starbucks for my breakfast and managed to survive it all, I'm in a sad way quite proud of myself :)  Before now the thought of doing something like this seemed uttererly terrifying, but now I know I can do it it's fine.
 Yey :)
The only down side to the trip was the fact I had to go up to London and actually NOT go shopping, a fact which was killing me haha.  But fortunately, next week I will be heading up for a spot of Christmas shopping!! Can't wait!

Bish Bash Bosh,

Dear Santa (boyfriend/sister/parents/anybody who wants to buy me a christmas present),

This year for Christmas I would really like a Swatch Watch.  I've wanted one for quite a while, but Christmas seems like a perfect opportunity to aquire one without me actually having to spend the cash.  I have kindly lined up a selection of ones I like, please see below:

I would like either this one:

Or this one:

Or this one:

Or this one:

But, as I am a very understanding woman, and it may not always be possible to lay your hands on one of these (especially as your so busy at this time of year), I would happily still have a good old fashioned classic black one please, like this:

So yeah, thanks Santa, if you could sort that out I'd really appreciate it!  There is a mince pie in it for you if you can make sure I get one.

Thanks again, and give my best to Rudolph, the shiney nosed little blighter,

Derren Brown... What a Man!!

If I could meet anyone on God's good Earth it would be Mr Derren Brown.  I cannot begin to explain just how much I love him!!  Not in a weird way, just in a way that I think that to me the man is like God!  Ok, so maybe in a weird way...

Anywho, Derren Borwn being the good man that he is has made yet another amazing show, this being "Apocalypse".  And what a show it is!!

Imagine finding out that you've woken up where the world has 'ended', a meteor has stuck and left very few people alive, many of which are infected and you have no recollection of what happened and how you got there.  This is the situation in which Derren Brown's chosen 'survivor' has found has found himself, where he will hopefully find value in himself and turn around his selfish, lazy lifestyle.

It's like 28 Days Later (awesome film, please check iit out) on crack, and I blinkin love it!!

The first part of has already been shown, you can watch it here.  Please please please do, you won't regret it.  And the second part is on tonight 9pm Channel 4, you should watch that too.

Just to add, that I think the man is a genius, please watch all you can of his and and I guarantee you will sit there agape and declaring "but how, how does he do that" and in my case "I bloody love Derren Brown".

Oh and did I mention I love Derren Brown.  You can visit his website here, oh and look at his art work too, oh and his books, seriously, there is nothing the man can't do!!!!!!!

Thanks for listening to my disturbing rant,
