Is it too early to wear Christmas jumpers???

Today we had a non-school uniform day (finally, I hate having to wear my uniform all the time, it gets so boring) for charity, so I got a chance to wear my new Christmassy jumper!

Reindeer Jumper - River Island

Holographic Eye Necklace - Topshop

Shirt - New Look (but I studded it myself)

Skinny Jeans - New Look

Ear Stretcher - Topshop

Sad Flower Ring - Guide Camp (there was a tuck shop and this was the last ring, it only cost 20p!)

The weather's come for trips to town with friends, cosy little meetings in Starbucks, snuggling up and watching cartoons; for having late night conversations about everything and nothing with people you're comfortable with, for wearing jumpers (or sweaters as you might know them as).

 I love the transition into winter so much, as you can probably tell; I'm more suited to cosying up, wearing layers and walking around town past the German market that pops up every year without fail. 

Have a nice weekend, hope you have a spleeeendid time!

On wanting to start a band

 JUST A WARNING - THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF WRITING BUT THERE'S OTHER STUFF TOO DON'T LEAVE ME PLS

 I've been wanting to start a band for a while now. It seems like so much fun, just playing music with your friends, and seeing as I'm a lazy girl and all I do is sit at my laptop (I wish I was joking but I'm not) it would be something for me to put my unused effort into! The only thing, up until now, is that no-one would take me seriously - but today I started talking about it to Ada and she agreed, and seemed pretty excited for if we did start a band. I'm thinking of getting an acoustic guitar for Christmas, but my friend Martha says up until then she can lend me a guitar, and she's going to teach both me and Ada guitar! The only things now are getting a drummer and singer (Ada says she'll do bass, and I'll do normal guitar), and finding a band name etc. The whole band name thing is important I guess, because for anyone to take us seriously enough to even get gigs or whatever we need a FUNKY NAME WOOT WOOT.

Stage-wise I've chosen mostly darker colours because if you're on a stage with lots of lights having to put a lot of effort in, you're most likely going to sweat, and black is the colour which sweat shows up least on haha ^.^ I wish I owned all of these clothes/shoes/jewellery ahh.


Bikini Kill looking pretty badass

More badass-ness

Excuse me while I wish I was allowed to go see All Time Low live *sobs*

Pretty flowery microphone things lalalaa

All band name suggestions are welcome guys, I will love you forever and reward you with xcupcakes and llamas and sloths and stuff if you suggest any names(◡‿◡✿)

Friday Night Pretty Things (or just Pretty Majestic Things)

I decided literally 5 minutes ago that on Fridays, I will just post a round-up of a bunch of pretty majestic things I've seen throughout the week, and things I'd like to take inspiration from (and maybe you can too!). ENJOY~

Kinda creepy, but overall gorgeous and wow 

Childhood hero if I'm being perfectly honest, so much SASS

I can't really say much about this apart from EXACTLY.

I absolutely love the way this photo was styled, from the school-photo background/pose to the amazing flower crown, hair, everything is wonderful^.^

BOOM.

Desperately hoping this isn't an actual claw but it's beautiful

 THIS HAS BEEN AN INSTALMENT OF JADE IS REALLY TIRED BUT AT THE SAME TIME WIDE AWAKE, TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO STAY UP TILL A RIDICULOUS TIME FOR A WEEK STRAIGHTヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

Style Crush - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu -- きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ

 I've recently found a new style crush in the form of Japanese singer, model, blogger and businesswoman Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Her downright amazing fashion sense really stands out to me, and her music is just so catchy! Kyary (real name Kiriko Takemura) started out as a fashion blogger before she began to model in Harajuku magazines such as Kera! and Zipper. She then became a businesswoman, launching a line of fake eyelashes and started to appear at various fashion shows. She released her first song PonPonPon in 2011, beginning her musical career!

I love the room that the video to PonPonPon was in, so cute!

How can you not find this adorable just look at what she's wearing, those shorts eeeee; I've never seen anything like this seeing as I live in England (where noone really dresses like this ;_;) and I'm going to see if I can take some influence from her outfits because wowowow!

I'm not quite sure what's going on here but it's fantastic.

Possible Halloween costume inspiration, not sure if I could hang upside down like a bat with such skill though!(◑‿◐)

She even makes bowling look like the best thing ever! Those shoes are so cute, I love the fact that they're so simple yet so effective, and the shirt and skirt combo is so pretty(✿◠‿◠) This is one of her more toned down looks, and I think it would be easier to wear out and stuff. Also SPACE STAR BOWLING SOUNDS SO FUN.

Kyary on the cover of Zipper. This makes me wish I could read/speak Japanese-I need to start learning!ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

You can't really see the top of the hat but I bet it's super adorable! 

Kyary's fashion sense is really quirky, cute, and I hope to see more DIYs like the one rookie did sprouting up so I can try out some of her style!

Halloween is possibly one of the best things ever

 I don't think I've ever met a single person, wherever I've been, that doesn't like Halloween. After all, who doesn't like costumes (creepy and cringey), free sweets and the overall very cheesy teenage horror/comedy movie feeling Halloween brings about? Halloween is a time everyone can revel in, whether you're a teenager lurking around for the free sweets, or a little kid still in it for the sweets. Can you tell I'm pretty over-the-moon about the free sweets?

 My plans for Halloween are a little muddled at the moment (which I need to sort out actually) but they basically consist of some trick or treating, a few good old retro-style horror movies (you can't deny the general fantastic fash-off vibe from any female characters involved!), a lot of Halloween treats, and THE BEST FORT EVER CREATED AND KNOWN TO MANKIND.

 One of my very favourite things about Halloween though, aside from girly bonding and whatever, is the very obvious style battles between the assorted teenagers. I mean yeah, it's supposedly a 'kids holiday', but who are we kidding? If your costume is considered 'lame', you must be extremely lame (a lesson I learnt from Mean Girls actually). Plus dressing up for that one day a year is entertaining, and something that with a little effort can look brilliant!

Some of my favourite Halloween fashion finds from across the internet:

Black crushed velvet dress, £28, River Island

Skeleton Leggings, £28, Urban Outfitters

Grey skeleton jumper, £19, SheInside

Metallic Creepers, £98, Topshop

Skull resin ring, £11, MetroParkUSA

White studded collar, £12, Boohoo.com

Bird Skull necklace, £20, Etsy

If you're looking for a Halloween-related song, which I doubt you are but I'm going to tell you anyway, that is fabulous and has a fantastic music video, go watch Panic! at the Disco's 'It's Almost Halloween' (what an appropriate song title). I've kind of been listening to it non stop and probably will until it's actually Halloween (it's not an unhealthy addiction I swear!). And probably after Halloween until next Halloween. Yup.

I'm definately going to post photos from Halloween so look forward to that if you want^.^

I went to a gig!

I went to my first ever gig on Saturday! It was my friend's band, which they've had for a while but I think this is their first gig, they nailed it though.
This is what I wore:
















The flower crown (and room!)-Alex's
Jumper-River Island
Vans-Schuh
Skinny Jeans-New Look
Shirt-New Look
Bag-Accessorize 
Eye Necklace-Topshop
Lamb Necklace-Handmade by me

And these are some more photos:

It was really fun, and the first ever time I've been out with my friends on a Saturday night in the history of ever:') I went round Alex's house after, and we attempted to play Erie - we freaked out as soon as the monster came along though, so that was that.
