ill musings

Sorry for the lack of posts this week...I have been suffering from an illness for since Sunday, haven't left the house since Tuesday (I sound like this Craig David song haha!) and have been unable to do much at all, but I seem to be over the worst of it now, thankfully!

Whilst I have been stuck at home I did have a few moments to do some crafting...
Mainly all these clips!



They don't all suit my style/clothes so I don't know what I'm going to do with some of them.....But I did enjoy making them!

OH MAMA! my nose has turned RED!

Happy red nose day! I hope your all watching Comic Relief and donating AS I TYPE!
It has been and will continue to be EXCELLENT!

Here are the photos as promised of my red nose day outfit and my wiiiigggggy wiiigy! (which I love and am tempted to wear out tomorrow!)





Hope my wig gives you inspiration to donate if you haven't already!

If you haven't donated, or weren't in, or didn't watch it, will do it next year please just donate now.

It WILL be the best thing you do this year, all the money goes to saving lives.

kiss kiss

In lead up to red nose day  I wore my old red nose day tshirt on Tuesday after finishing the scenery I was painting on Monday! Will post pictures soon, when i work out how to get them off my phone haha.

I can't wait to leave school, the moment I go in for one day everyone pisses me off, well apart form the few friends in art. People constantly asking me if my clothes are from Topshop. SHOOT ME. No they are not, there is more than one shop in the world and we don't all have to wear Topshop clone outfits stolen off of the mannequins like you all do. I apologise for my ranting, to make up for it here is my cheesy smile face.



T-shirt- comic relief
Hold ups- Poundland
Skirt- River Island
Shoes- Mark Jasons

Another Poundland Purchase and they have kisses all over them and ribbon bows on the back :)...maybe I should rename my blOg...'Poundland's Purchases!'

I will be doing a comic relief night blog post, and if you follow me( or you could not, I'm cool with that)  on twitter I will doing regular updates on the funny shit!

Off to sea...

Wish I was at the beach for this outfit today. Check out my blank expression on the second photo, had to put it up for lols...yeh my life is exciting.

Tshirt- Select
Skirt- Zara (it has loads of swimming women over it!)
Tights- Asda
Shoes- Mark Jasons
Scarf- Charity shop

I really want to do a week (or certain days a week?) of movie inspired outfits, and really would like some company on this adventure.
The idea was to get a few people to join doing it then either, decide on some classic movies or let everyone pick a movie each and then all wear an outfit inspired from the movie, not like dressing up as the character ( unless you want to, I'm not gonna stop you) but dressed with inspirational links to the film/ themes.

Obviously needs organising so if anyone, anyone at all (please don't leave me like a loner- I'm too used to it, as I'm the only one in my year not invited to this party tomorrow- I don't want to go anyway. they're all shitheads. *anger face*) fancies this or something like this but a bit different ( I'm open to suggestions!) please either comment on this post or email me at medusaswardrobe@yahoo.co.uk
and if you know anyone who would be interested please mention it or link it in your posts, would be most appreciated!
This has the potential to be amazing, and a bit of fun with your wardrobe!

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
Boots- Dr martens (my leopard print ones <3)

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 :)

JINGLE JINGLE

Jacket- Bay Trading
Dress- Zara
Leggings- Primark
Boots- Doc martens

Tuesday Outfit.... I had a really nice outfit on Monday, but left my camera in the studio because I'm an idiot. And yeah, I know my face looks weird in this, this is me in my natural state in the studio and caught unaware ha ha but then my camera died...'Battery exhausted' I hate that.
I love this dress, bought it like 2 years ago but it always seems to get compliments, I think it's the little bells on the waist, I LOVE JINGLING <3
May sew bells onto more things ....hmmm....

I'm well busy this week :( as always! but not with art, with a lingerie project I need finished by Monday, it's a collection of 50's inspired structural lingerie, which I've designed, making and am going to model.....yeh lol

Oh and working my way through writing an essay and reading 3 books  on Palestine/Israel....questioninng the existance of Arab nationalism and all that shizzzz


BTW OMG about John Galliano being sacked from Dior...Lol jokes I hate the racist bastard.

And I've never been too keen on 'fashion houses' anyway, well not in today's society.





NO shit Sherlock!

I went to London on Friday and went to Sherlock Holmes House (again haha) obviously it's not his ACTUAL house...unless you have some cool machine which can send you inside books to live them out....oh I WISH!

It's just the house that was written about in the Sherlock Holmes novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which does actually exist on London but had not relation, and they have turned it into a museum :)

Step inside 221b Baker street...











I love going it's not expensive (£4 a person) and although it's only small the detail is soooo coool!
Especially for a literary geek like me, all the house is set out as it is described on the book, even with pots, books and souvenirs from all the tales just as in the novels!
It's 5 stories of room and some models/waxworks of the characters and then next door is the gift shop which is awesome!  obviously i bought lots of things.well, the things I didnt already have from last time!
If anyone is going to London you need to check it out as its like stepping into that time, and even if you have only seen the movie you will think it;s good, all the staff are dressed up and their is a policeman on the door who you have to give your ticket to:)

I didn't really do an outfit photo for this day but you can kinda see what I was wearing....

British and Loyal... not quite Royal

If you follow me on Twitter then you would know that I spent a day in London doing a bit of shopping, visiting and going to British Art Show 7 at the Hayward Gallery (post to follow)

I really do love living so close that I can easily access everything, as I love the shows, shopping and culture there, but I wouldn't want to live there.

I get the best of both worlds !

And what better to wear than a (newly bought at the weekend) dress with the Royal Guards on!












Dress- Primark
Tights- I can never remember where tights come from but they are not new!
Socks- H&M
Shoes- Camden
Blazer- Miss Selfridges
Bag- Charity Stall
Earrings- Republic


Managed to get up and out by 9, with a homemade Egg mc muffin (the egg may of fallen on the floor at one point, but I still made it!)  and then in London by halfpast.

I went to the Hayward first, must be like my 3rd day on the SouthBank in a week, as it is part of the Southbank Centre, where I saw Frankenstein. It was a very Interesting show of all the up and coming artists and I love to go and see something a bit different,,,and some of them surely were!

Then I went to Soho, had a walk around the fancy dress shops there and Berwick Street market which is mainly fruit and veg and some good independent Record shops. Then we walked through China town, and my dad bought me a cute little china bunny, seeing as it is Year of The Rabbit, and a rabbit in a tea cup on a pen!!! I  KNOW> AMAZEMENT ! They have a really good, indoor market/shopping centre, with loads of good, jewelery, Chinese stationary/ clothes/ punky stuff which we always get something in .

After a bit more of a walk around, I ate in Leon, a really good chain for allergies, and fast, healthy food. I had one of their 'hot boxes' with rice, and lemon chicken and sauce and coleslaw :) YUMMY

The last place we went to was Camden as we usually find a few cool bits but we were so glad we went last as tbh, it just keeps on going down hill. It is prettier than ever since a couple of years ago they revamped the Stables which has made it a really great place for vintage and retro wear bit the High street has gone to pot.
There are still a few independent clothing and craft retailers down the lanes, the gothy shops, a few mod/skin head shops, Cyberdog, retro wear, independent jewelers and a few more Japanese clothing stores selling lolita but loads of the highstreet shops have become touristy and commerical.

They all sell the same ACTUALLY THE EXACT SAME stock; sunglasses, England stock, bongs, slogan t-shirts and market stall clothing.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm the first to love a bit of cheap clothing, souvenir and tat but not from Camden, it was the heart of punk and subculture and just like everything else is becoming so commerical.

TBH I was very disappointed and it was only December that I last went????
Oh and there were loads of European school trips going round in 'I <3 Londonhats trying to take pictures of me, ME FFS, one even dropped his camera in the road because he was struggling to take a picture as I walked past. LOL

Anyway enough of the rant, I had a nice day out shopping in town with my mum today,  not for clothing but art stuff like moss and toy trainsets, although I did get a £5 Barbie Tshirt from Miss selfridges and one of the Vivienne Westwood Red Nose Day Tshirts from TK Maxx :)

Hmmmm...really long post, maybe I should of split it up? but i'm just sooo busy!

Back to London tommorow for another trip round Sherlock Holmes house :)

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!

Love to you all...

Here is my valentines day outfit.....sorry for the indoor photos, but although it was nice and sunny through the window it was sooooo freezing!!

Top- wallis
Skirt- H&M
Hold ups- Poundland

I did not get any cards/presents for V-day but that's ok I enjoyed wearing my outfit and came home early after a trip round the charity shops to buy MANY (i know have 9 on my shelf) versions of Sherlock Holmes novels ;)

I finished reading Hound of The Baskervilles tonight and although I read it for my project, I did thoroughly enjoy it, and if any of you haven't read it you definitely should because it is very short and such a good story!

I had a really nice outfit on today...with shoes! But it rained on me with no thought for my clothing, hair or even co oordinated nails, whilst I waited for my bus.
 Then I put my feet into soaking wellies to go out to my poor bunnies so that when I came back in for a lovely curry I got straight into my jammies.

I've been in one of those weird moods today, I just feel so unproductive lately but I am trying to sort that out with some lists and plans!
I have planned some good posts about my trips to the theatre this weekend.... but for now you will have to be content with my excitement about some VERY EXTREMELY important current news....

STEPS ARE REFORMING!!!!

yes! finnally, I can bust out all my old dance routines to Tradegy and 5.6.7.8/.....It is gonna be pure 90's class.

Now I am gonig to snuggle down after finnishing my toast and jam, and now that the (very awesome) \Brit Awards have finished as I need to be PRODUCTIVE tommorow!
Night all xxx

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!
