Pray for the people inside your head, for they won't be there when you're dead

Mullet skirt: Primark, Belt: Topshop, Denim shirt: mother's from the 90's, Longer necklace: China, Fishy necklace: Accessorise, Cardigan: M&S a few decades ago

Quack, quack.

For once, it was actually lovely and sunny, so I decided to take some outfit photos, but alas, I could not get the camera to do what I wanted. I had to use the self-timer, which wouldn't seem to focus where I wanted it to, even though I changed the settings to centre focus,  so the pictures came up really blurry. The photos are also far too over exposed, as if I changed the aperture the bottom would either be too dark or the top would be too light.

Anyway, long story short, I decided to just edit the images loads to try and conceal the fact that I don't know how to use my dad's camera. I'm going to have to pass it off as a "vintage" effect again... Eurgh. Something else that is also really annoying me is the fact that my feet aren't in any of the pictures, but I thought I might as well use the images and not waste them.

I love this necklace apart from the fact that it is sooo noisy.

I rolled up the skirt a few times at the front as it was too long.

I will try and actually learn how to use the Canon sometime or later and take some pictures that are actually of decent quality.

P.S I really hate it when people put lyrics to a song in the title or caption of a post - yay for being hypocritical. Here is the song from my title (Gasp, Johnny Flynn with brown hair and without his guitar with a dobro resonator):

P.P.S. Bonus picture I decided to edit. Oh yeahhh. 

I love MS Paint. Also, how embarressing, I spelt my URL wrong... It's scatterrbrained with two r's.

Dip-dye top and Denim Shirt

Here is what I would style with my dip-dye top and denim shirt. It is quite a summery outfit, as I was in the mood for it. I wish it was warm enough to wear this - darn British weather. Thus, instead I decided to just lay the outfit out on the floor and take pictures.  This is really not my style at the moment, nor am I really that content with it, but oh well - here it is.

What I would wear with the clothes I currently own

Top: from the "Teens" section of New Look for £9.99  - all the clothes there are pretty much the same as the adult section, but far cheaper, due to less tax. If you are size 10 or smaller, they actually have some good trendy clothes there. I love how it says "too cool", because that's just so me, obviously. Black Bandeau underneath as the arm holes for the top are quite long. 

Denim shirt: from a Vintage shop in Camden for £15 - I really like how this shirt is teal/green colour, instead of the average indigo denim, since I have so many items that are that colour now. It's quite oversized, but I like it like that, as it covers the bum, and by rolling the sleaves up, a bit more shape is given, so it doesn't look like you're being swallowed by your clothes.  Once the weather is warmer, I look forward to wearing it as a jacket.

Lacey leggings: not sure where this is from - I wouldn't normally wear this with it, as I think it makes the outfit too girly, but I have nothing else to wear with it.

Shoes I wouldn't pair with it.

 Here are 2 pairs of lace up brogues probably wouldn't wear with this outfit, but I have no other shoes which would go.
Brown leather brogues: from Marks and Spencers. I hate wearing brown and black together, so this is why I wouldn't wear with it.
Floral brogues: from River Island. Too much pattern going on, if I wore this and my lace leggings.

Head accessories

Wire floral headband and flower: from New look
Flowery headband: from Primark
Trilby: Sister's

Obviously I wouldn't wear all 3 of these acessories together, but here are some different options.

What I would wear if I had all the clothes in the world
I think that the outfit above is okay, but I think that my own personal style has changed, and is no longer as girly. Here is what I would chose to wear if the world was my oyster.

I don't know about you, but I personally think the Dr Martens Langsten boots are the most ridiculously awesome shoes to ever be designed. I love how it is shiny and is "petrol" coloured. The bracelet also matches the boots so yay. I like being matchy matchy.

I was going to do an outfit two, but outfit one has taken me long enough!

Buh-bye!

Jewellery

I love jewellery. There is no doubt about it. Here is my ethos when it comes to collecting jewellery.

1. I rarely spend more than £1 on each item of jewellery because...
1. Jewellery is generally quite cheap to produce, so I think it's absolutely ridiculous for some shops to sell a pair of earrings for £15. 
2. Most jewellery from high street shops are absolutely TERRIBLE quality. Very few items that I own haven't broken within a few weeks of purchase, so usually end up having to be soldered back together/ fixed with pliers/ super-glued back together by either me or my dad. 
3. I will probably lose it. Making this post has made me realise just how many of my favourite items are missing. They are just so small, and easy to lose, most of my items are probably sucked up in the vacuum, or in a field somewhere. 
2. I don't buy...
1. Really beady jewellery. It's just not my thing. I do like pearls and turquoise though.
2. Cheap, chained metallic necklaces, because I think that I'm probably allergic to it, since it can be really irritating on my skin. I only wear the ones that I currently own under a collar or something similar to provide a barrier between the metal and skin. 
3. Long, dangly earrings, mainly because I have a phobia of my earlobes stretching or ripping. I am being deadly serious, as I have honestly had recurring nightmares about this happening, and it is very traumatic. 

So yes, here are a few of my favourite items of jewellery, catagorised into themes (click the pictures to see them larger!) They are mostly from the Topshop sale or Accessorise sale, since you can get items for actually reasonable prices.

Tribal and Ethnic

Here is a real mish-mash of stuff from all around the place. Surprisingly, most of these items are from lots of different places that I/family members have traveled to. I absolutely love the yak skull necklace (which I got from I almost went to Tibet last year)and the large silver necklace, just need to think of a way to wear them out more! Not too sure why I have 3 turquoise earrings though.

Studs and Skulls 

This group of jewellery are the items I actually wear the most frequently, by far! Possibly my favourite item (ever!) is my brass pyramid earring (right hand bottom corner) but as you can see, there is only one, as I lost the other one at a party, leaving me distraught. I am ever on a search for a replacement, but I can't seem to find any as good. Loving the collar-esque necklaces at the moment.  

Girly and Kitsch 

These items are all quite old, but I don't really wear them much at all at the moment, as my style has changed.  I still love my Winnie the Pooh bracelet though (which I dad actually found on the floor - we aren't hobos, honest), but it is currently in need of a new battery. 

So there you go, just a peek inside my jewellery collection, as this literally isn't even half of it. I am still upset that I have lost my favourite fish bones dangly earrings and blue and gold earrings, since they are some of my favourite items. This is why in half term, I'm planning on making some sort of jewellery solution, to actually store these items. At the moment, I've got this make shift Ferrero Rocher box which I drilled holes in to store my earrings. 

At the moment, I have lots of items that I want to buy, such as some collar tips, body armour necklaces, evil eye rings, ear cuffs, more collars etc. But this is the only item that I'm really craving.

Cool tings,

P.S. Please excuse my terrible attempts at some arty-farty depth of field. I also didn't bother editing the colours/ cropping the images too, as my laptop is far too slow, so they are look really grey. Once I sort things out (such as the dimensions of this blog) I will have better clearer and larger images for you guys.

P.S.S I have been really liking this one song, need to check out some more of their songs!

It reminds me of Sleigh Bells - (who's new song "Comeback Kid" sucks.)
