The Pocket Guide to Plays & Playwrights by Maureen Hughes; House of Holland nails in Zig Zag Stardust


Here's a quick post documenting my new October entries. Its been a while since I've done this sort of post, so I wanted to show you whats new in my Narnia-esque wardrobe. And contrary to popular belief, most of these items were indeed cheap thrills, with the exception of the rad House of Holland nails gifted by my sister. I picked up these shirts at a newly opened thrift store the other day, and I could not be happier about them. There's another shirt that I got, however I haven't pictured it since I have DIY plans for it. My  parents returned from London with this book thats amazing for only £2! I've also got these hair products (freebies) that are going to be instrumental in taming this mane of my head. Alright, I'm off to nomming on swiss rolls in preparation of winter (yes that is a thing).

CALIFORNIA ENGLISH









Shoes- Office, Dress- Mong Kok, Choker- DIY

To say that nothing's changed at all between the duration of this post and my previous post would be a complete and utter lie. I sincerely apologize for my absence on the blogosphere but life really has taken a toll on me, namely school. I've been in a mad frenzy handing in first and second and third drafts of overdue essays and when I'm not working, I'm literally counting down the seconds I have until the next thing is due. Its a vicious cycle of procrastinate, realize I actually have to do something, work work work, hand in, repeat. And on top of that, my parents are away on temporary leave, claiming to aid my sister in the UK. Which leaves me, the former second child now proclaimed eldest child, in charge of two youngsters with a billion extra curricular activities. So when I'm not running about for work, I'm running around the house, making sure nothing's on fire. So being parent-less and sister-less and immersed into work has left me little time for outfits and blogging. In fact, I rushed home today just so I could get the last bit of light to take these photos. Leading into my next point, although I have younger sisters, who are great especially when you're older than them and thus have authority over them, I have been without photographer for yonkers. So If someone would like to help me out in the jpeg department, that would be greatly appreciated! Drop me an email or message me for further info. Ok, let me stop there, too much for the night!
