TEXAN TUXEDO

sexbomb noot in elle italia feb 2010

i know it's been done but so has every trend.

^ loving that little ray of sunshine.

i've been lounging around the house for days in this ensemble (the denim vest is much warmer than you think & the jeans are vintage tommy hilfiger and are basically the denim version of jersey trackpants). today, craving the feeling of sun on my skin. i decided to strap on a pair of wildly inappropriate heels for an impromptu bit of photo taking and a short walk to buy Glamour (a girl needs a little light-hearted generic fashion relief... and i'm already subscribed to Vogue anyway).

PS. my sister from another mister now blogging from the fangZINE. go leave her a nice comment. or a bitchy one. or a stoned one. or just go tell her what you really start craving when you're drunk. or what brand of toothpaste you use. i'm sure she doesn't mind. just go check it out already.

the graduate

I got my results back today and am pleased with them :) I no longer have to dread that I can't apply for jobs in my field because of their competitive entrance requirements (it's like applying for university all over again!). Now I REALLY feel like a graduate and it's liberating!

Threw together an outfit with the few items I grabbed before I ran to Oxford (again). I wore this dress (& the headband) to Glastonbury and it was perfectly light and airy, even if I did get raging sunburn on my shoulders and chest.

Firstly, here's a photo of Oxford at sunset... so pretty. Would you believe all of these photos were taken on a little 3.2MP camera Sony Ericsson mobile phone?

Headband: Monsoon kids

Sunglasses: H&M

Dress: Topshop

Necklace: From Venice

Belt: Uniqlo

Satchel: Belongs to the boy, from Esprit

Boots: MY NEW BABIES - Loblan

Saw an old acquaintance at a club in Oxford and she had these on in black... I demanded to know where she got them from and ran out the next day to get a pair for myself! I got them in brown because I'm trying to wean myself off black boots (how many pairs do I have already???) and it's a bit more summery :)

Check out the Loblan plaque and the huge metal stud on the underside of the boot... the leather on these is absolutely gorgeous. They were pricey but completely worth it.

Weather is gorrrrrgeous and it hasn't rained yet!
