Panda Escaped!

Just a quick post of Yesterday's outfit as I am just back form my local Primary where I am painting the scenery ( western) and about to go out to do crafts (sequined necklace, and I'm obviously making one for myself too!) with my local Rainbows <3 :) aww I love children...well as long as they don't smell...ha ha
It was Freezing cold but then brightened up so I went outside of the studio .....*gasp* she escaped, she never comes out *gasp* to take a photo...
Well I only got as far as the quad where the back of the studio is but hey, it was nice and sunny there.....

First photo = me: please don't take a photo, the sun is blinding me

Friend: haha lol

Second photo= Panda is escaping

Third photo= Panda has escaped, But I love him <3 ( lol check out one of my art buddies' faces in the window, haha, yeh, this is the excitement of our lives)

Update: After escaping Panda was sunbathing outside, he has now had an unfortunate encounter with the evil strimmer man, but will soon be back to full health .

Dress- Gratan

Beads- Vintage

Hairclip-  H&M

Yesterday DeeDeeOhho commented on this post wondering if I would show some of my art. I never really had decided to Post my art because I didn't think you guy's would be that interested in it, but seeing as I talk about the studio, and little bits about what I'm doing \(especially if you follow me on twitter) maybe I should?

Give me some comments guys if you would like me to post on some of my work :)

Holiday inspirations

Dress- Vintage

Boots- Mark Jasons

Jacket- Miss Selfridges

Had Friday off and put my spare time to good use by dyeing two of my friend's hair. One had a caramelly highlight and the other had Florence and The Machine/ Paloma Faith inspired Ginger, well I am good for some things!

1 huge bottle of prelightnener and two bottles of Orange hair dye later and her hair is a shocking orange, I love it, she seemed very shcoked, but if you buy orange hair dye...what do you expect?haha

Also had a subway and a huge danish pastry with icing, custard, raisins and god knows what else in, so it was a pretty chill Friday!

Oh and bought some sale fabric, metallic diamond checks and silky leopard print of course!!

Went shopping Saturday in Bromley and got some bargain in Primark, Bought some clay and a really cool Sherlock Holmes case study book as well as some angel wing earrings from republic and 50p for 3 pairs ( I know what a BARGAIN!) knickers :) Yeh simple pleasures ;)

One of my teachers bought me this book, as a thankyou for helping etc....its gorgeous and has lovely pictures/sewing ideas inside...

I am going (hopefully) to get loooads done this Holiday, mainly little things I don't get time to do.

Have already started tidying up the garden, cut all the lavender bush back them burnt the trims in the Chimnea (so fun!) and have sorted digging over the veg patch...but what to plant?

Any suggestions would be helpful!!!

I have about 12 sqmtres or so and have tried most things the last couple of years but  I need easy to maintain, fail safe, eatable plants?!

Also I am going to sort out my wardrobes, as I have so much I do not wear they needs altering/selling and I could do with the money too!

Sorry for the poor quality photos, if I won the lottery I would defo be buying a proper camera!

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Happy Chinese New Year guys!!!
Year of the rabbit this year and I celebrated by wearing my favourite Chinese dress :)

It was my mothers from when she was a girl and I have worn it countless times for fancy dress when I was little, but now it (kinda) fits me properly seeing as I'm a big Girl :)

Its such beautiful fabric and looks so stunning, needs no accessories or anything.

Needless to say my day was spent with people looking at me through glaring (more usual than often) and asking me.. 'why are you dressed up?' 'are you jappanese?'

Most people didn't even know it was Chinese New Year :/

I enjoyed wearing it today tho, and will definitely be getting it out again now that it fits.

WARNING: RANT

Some people really just don't have any sense of fun, do they not understand that we are only young/live once (well in this life anyway!) and there is no point sitting around being bored just because they don't want to be looked at or cant be bothered to even be light hearted...Eurgh I hate people sometimes.

Sorry should of put a RANT WARNING in front of that haha. I just have felt like this alot more these last couple of days, maybe because I've spent more time in communal places with people other than the 10 or so people in the art studio and they have pissed me off with there comments.

It will never change me, I (and my family) always have and will get it, all those sarky comments, shouting from cars ( at least a few times a week) and all that shiz but hey

I DONT CARE!! Haha and  no one else should, Be free, be who you are and HAVE FUN!

Oh and also gradually move a nodding panda around the studio every time your fried turns their back till it is on the window sill, outside the open window, and on the roof of a shed across a courtyard from the window, until she realises it's you and she's not going mad......

Seeing as that's what I did today, but if you don't have a panda any other type of glaring animal would work fine!

And here's a picture of my lovely friend Nami who has been taking my photos for me (as well as some other peeps) for the last couple of days after we have done a strenuous walk up a hill in the freezing cold at 8am.

Thanks Nami!

Precisely ....Precisely

Yesterday I decided to embroider some of my favourite feminist quotes, it was very therapeutic until I got to 'precisely'. which, I do not know why I decided to embroider TWICE.

IN THE WRONG PLACE. 

Was obviously so relaxing that I forgot how to use my noggin. Well, it only took me half an hour to realise this and then unpick it all.

But I have cheered myself up with some nice outfit photos today, would of liked to do them outside but its still pissing it down AS PER USUAL. Well, that's what you get for living in England.

Tee Primark

Dress New Look

Tights :/ OLD

Shoes some cheap shoe shop

Beads Vintage

Belt Vintage

Flower Gift

Apart from that my weeks been pretty good, a little scarce on outfit photos due to the fact I spent a few days in just paint covered leggings and shirts.... Getting some emulsion on to boards to start my first paintings of the year!

I love this outfit, its abit of everything, and although I love to dress in a theme this  really cheered me up. I love stripes especially tights and love the looks people give me because they know there not fashionable and not many girls wear dresses this length at my age... well not where I live. It's just plain jersey but a simple design is really nice to jazz up, i think its supposed to me a maxi dress but  my tallness combats this a makes it a midi ( there 'in' right?)

Also loving these shoes, bargain satin red sneakers which I have mostly been wearing all of this week, its nice to have a change from DM's and still be comfy.

And flowers in my hair always make me happy, especially these satin red ones I got from my buddy for Christmas...Instant spanishishnessss <3

Incase you were wondering what quote I was embroidering it was this one by Rebecca West...

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: 

 I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that

differentiate me from a doormat.

genius.
