Song for Miu Miu

IN MY HEAD
I CAN SEE YOU ALL OVER ME
IN MY HEAD
YOU FILL MY FASHION FANTASIES
IN MY HEAD
I'LL BE SCREAMING YEEEEEES
WHEN YOUR PRICE GOES DOWN
GOES DO-OWN
IN MY HEAD

Nerding out.

I had a little freak out when I saw this and spent most of my lessons fantasising about my new dream outfit.


Skirt is McQueen from ages ago, I don't know the year or the season, I seen it in a video. It's just perfect for the rest, which is Miu Miu. (beige shirt to be worn without the collar and bit of skirt pictured) Can't you just imagine someone who has no clue about banking and money and technicalisticmayjic stuff going in for a job interview in this outfit, just with a riding jacket and driving gloves. The looks they would get would be priceless.
I want to be that person.

DIY

Yep. As I said in the last post, I done some DIY which I am in love with, and here it is.



DIY dress. Shoes, bracelet and hat; all Penneys.
The dress. It used to be my mum's gypsy skirt, which came with the belt I used as the neckline. I sewed it on as a halterneck, and tied it around the back. I love the way it falls, with the low back.
The hat probably makes it look like I'm on my way to a funeral, but I've been craving an 'Undertaker' hat(thanks to Ewan, my 9 year old brother, for the name) for some time now and when I found one for 4 euro in Penneys today I bought it. I was in Penneys a few weeks ago with my friends and they were making fun of the gold version, actually. I suppose this sums up how different I am from my friends.
My house is just so photogenic, look at the lovely brown bread in the corner.
I can't wait to go to my cottage in Canada, it's so much more photogenic, the area is beautiful.

Oh! This bracelet is just so amazing. It's a snake in case you hadn't noticed. I was going to buy a silver Salamander version on Ebay, but I found this and love it more seeing as I'm a little obsessed with gold jewellery right now. I was thinking of buying the matching ring or another snake bracelet and doing a give away. Tell me in the comments if you'd enter and I'll think about spending my hard earned cash on you.
Oh and Penneys, if you're reading this, please make a YSL Arty-esque ring just for me seeing as I am walking advertisement for you 'n all.


Anyway, that's all for now. Hope you had a good weekend!

What I wore

I went shopping today, and this is what I wore.




Skirt; Thrifted. Blouse; Alexander McQueen. Belt; DIY. Shoes; Penneys.
Nothing to really say, been a fairly eventless week. But I did do some DIY and I'm in love the outcome. I'll post pictures later.

BROKE

Uh oh...



Yeah so I totally went out and bought a 200 euro collar with birds on it cos that's how I roll.





butnotreally.
I just spent the whole day making this collar thing because I love Miu Miu.
Basically I dissected an old men's shirt and a necklace, and this is the result. It took a long time to get it in a triangle shape. Actually, scratch that, it took me a long time to make it full stop. You don't want to know the details. Instead, lets look at outfits.


I am so unphotogenic and so awkward in front of cameras.
ANYWAAY, I was going to throw this dress out but I dug it out from a big bag in my wardrobe because it was more or less made for this collar. I'm going to go back to the second hand shop and buy the granny pencil skirt with a kind of Miu Miu-ish pattern, and then turn this dress into a 2 piece and cut 2 slits in the front of the top because I can. And then I'll wear Miu Miu-esque outfits for the rest of my life.

I was so tempted to draw pedobear onto this collar but I resisted because the questioning from my mother would have been too painfull and weird. But if there's anyone out there who can make a collar without parental guidance, you should totally do it. And then show me the pictures.

I like turtles!

That little boy is more or less my hero.

I had a bit of a DIY day today. I spent all morning searching for a belt with some really weird animal on it that I could actually afford, but no luck. I left my laptop feeling a little depressed because I couldn't afford Christopher Ross belts. So, while looking through our 'pins and buttons' box(yes, we have a pins and buttons box) for a button for my other DIY project(more in next post), I stumbled upon this gorgeous little turtle.







Accidental flash actually does something productive! It kinda looks like he's falling. Or if you're an optimistic, he's swimming through a glass of milk. Either way, awesome.
I knew I had to have him swimming across my waist one way or another. The pin had broken off him so I needed to superglue another pin onto it.

Anyway, I slid him onto a skinny belt. It's detachable so I can wear it as a brooch too.
I have a feeling he will go everywhere with me.


sorry for the very blurry photos- no matter how hard I tried, every photo came out like that.

Outfits

Here are some outfits I put together with my new purchases.


Skirt; Thrifted,Pink soda. Tank; South. Bag; Erickson BeamonxDebenhams. Headband; DIY- vintage Topshop necklace with Penneys headband underneath. Shoes; Penneys.

As I said in the last post, this skirt doesn't photo well. It's much more sparkly and pretty in real life. The same with the bag. I think they were made for eachother.

Top;Thrifted, topshop. Shorts; vintage. Shoes; Penneys. Headband; DIY Vintage topshop necklace.
2 words; Breath in. This top is so tight! And short. It looks pretty cute with the very retro shorts though.


Vest; Vintage, Next. Skirt; Thrifted, River Island. Shoes; Penneys. Studded bracelet; mens, Penneys. Headband; DIY vintage topshop necklace.
I love this skirt. So pretty. I think it looks good with a really laid back, Wang esque vest. This is the real deal folks, it's been washed and worn so many times it's actually loosing it's color. Pretty cool.


I made the headband today, it's very comfy and it looks amazing. I've always loved this necklace but I was never crazy about the choker style- it was too overpowering for more outfits. So I sewed it onto a plain black headband and haven't taken it off since. It's comfy and looks good with everything.

Have a good weekend!
