"You can never be overdressed or over-educated"

Clothes - all hand-me-downs, bowler hat - River Island, pewter shoes - Dr Martens

Today I made the rookie mistake of taking my blog pictures out during the midday sun, hence the horrendous over-exposure on these photographs. As you can see, it was actually a cloudless day in the UK - what is this malarkey?

Goodbye England till next year's snow

Button up shirt - charity shop, Disco Pants - American Apparel, Chelsea boots - Doc Martens

Yes, I am a crazy lady and I took all these pictures whilst standing in the snow. Surprisingly  it wasn't as cold as I imagined, but it certainly was not a pleasant experience. However, I feel like I owe it to you guys since I've not posted in so long. I've done 4/5 of my AS module exams now so hopefully I will have more time but I highly doubt it so I'm not going to make any promises!

This shirt is possibly one of the best items I have ever thrifted. I should've taken a close up, but it's got burnt orange velvet and shiny black autumn leaves on a shirt black chiffon with a black fringed edge. It's really hard to describe, but is all my favourite textures and materials combined into one shirt. I call it my cowboy top but it's sort of annoying to wear since the fringed bits always get hooked or attached to everything. I love it nonetheless.

And then there are my disco pants! Yes, I finally have the much coverted and highly hyped American Apparel disco pants. They are everything that everyone says they are and I love them so much! My sister bought them for me for Christmas and I am so glad I have them in my possession. Anyone wanting a review of them since they are quite pricey but in my eye, completely worth it!

Have fun and stay safe in the snow,

Man-repeller

Beanie - Topshop, dungarees - Topshop, shoes - Doc Martens, crazy waistcoat - charity shop, necklaces - China and Claire's

Dungarees have always had a place in my heart. Despise not being the most feminine item of clothing I own, but who cares as it's not like I ever dress to impress anyone anyway.These dungarees were only £16 from the Topshop sale and they were destined to be mine since they were a petite size 8. I actually have another pair of dungarees too, featured in this post, but they are far too small now to wear - I'm thinking of opening a bigcartel shop or something to get rid of some of my old clothes and earn some money since getting a job is completely out of the option now as I am so ridiculously busy.

Another thing is that I am actually getting so bored of my hair now since it is getting so long now - the ombre used to start at my chin! Should I get it or leave it long?

Can you guys do a huge favour for me? It would be awesome if you could go like my Young Enterprise Facebook group. Even though we cannot trade through the internet (I know so lame) but having the likes really does help us towards this competition for YE where number of likes is one of the criteria. Thank you!

Also thank you so much for checking and reading my blog - I've hit 200 followers now yipee! Also a huge thanks to the Boots Treat Street blog for featuring one of my outfits!

Talk to you later,

Double Tights

Chokers - Claire's, tops - H&M and DIY tights!, belt - charity shop, skirt - River Island, socks - Urban Oufitters, shoes - Office

Pretty much half this outfit is made from tights! The top is actually made from a pair of tights that I cut up and I got the idea from Tigerlily's blog. Lydia has also just posted a post featuring this too and both girls look so awesome and lovely in their outfits, so please check them out! It is actually so easy to make this top and I just want to chop up all my tights now and make them into crop tops - I think it would look really good with a pair of lace tights, so that is what I am going to do next.

Anyway, my life has been pretty boring as of recently. I have not been invited to any Halloween parties this year which sucks balls as I love dressing up, so I just stayed in. I don't usually enjoy Halloween at home as in my area, it is usually just an excuse for delinquents in my town to be antisocial, but luckily they were rained off.

I can't believe it is getting so dark so early now (pitch black before 5.00pm!). This means there is literally no way I can blog during the school week which is so annoying as I can never get good lighting indoors. My garden is also looking so drab compared to how it looked during the summer, such as in this post with all the roses!

Also, I literally have so much homework to finish tomorrow :'( - A levels sucks - so I better get back to it. See you guys in another post.

Sixth Form Outfit 1: Spanner in the Works

Blazer - Mum's, jumper and shoes - M&S, shirt - charity shop 

In my last post ("Going for the Jugular"), asked you guys whether you would be interested in seeing some of the outfits I wear to sixth form and some of you guys said yes, so everyday, I am going to post whatever I am wearing to this blog! Before I get into this actual outfit, I'd like to first mention what our sixth form dress code actually is. Some people say that our dress code is really relaxed, but others think it is quite strict. You guys can judge for yourselves.
We have to wear:

1. A blazer and matching bottoms
2. A shirt/blouse with a collar

We are not allowed to wear:

1. Any sort of denim or jeans
2. Leggings 
3. Any "stretchy-material" skirts
4. Clothes that are too revealing. 

As you can probably tell, I am already breaking quite a few rules in this outfit, but teachers like me so it's okay. I am wearing the illegal leggings, mainly because it is literally so cold and raining outside today (yes I took these photos in the rain!). I am also not wearing matching top and bottoms. My friends like point out that whenever I wear this outfit, that it looks like I'm not wearing any skirt at all, but in fact I am wearing a black body-con skirt from H&M - another illegal item. This is because I am pretty short and the blazer with the jumper are pretty bulky anyway, so if I were to wear a proper skirt, I would look like I was drowning in my outfit. 

Also, just like to talk about the title of this post - "Spanner in the Works". It is in reference to the first line in the song "Moscow State Circus" by Eugene McGuinness. In fact, yesterday's post title ("Going for the Jugular") is also a lyric from one of his songs. I have a penchant for idioms and am also so obsessed with his music, so I am going to continue with using his lyrics for song titles as I think he's a genius. Also, I had technology today and used a spanner so I thought it was vaguely appropriate. 

Anyway, must dash to my violin lesson - cheerio,

Going for the Jugular

Spiked headband - Topshop, necklaces - Claire's & Topshop, cardigan - friend's, dress - charity shop, boots - Pascals Doc Martens

This outfit was probably one of the most awkward outfits to take photos of, as one my neighbour's son/daughter was having a bouncy castle birthday party, so they would keep bouncing up and down, looking at me and think "what on earth is she doing?". However, it did make me feel a bit nostalgic as when I when I was 7, I had a bouncy castle birthday party in my garden too!

I do realise that this outfit is pretty similar to this outfit here, but I felt bad for being such a terrible blogger, thus I've deemed it acceptable to repeat some items of clothing in posts. Also excuse the puffy face - I took these photos just after I woke up and after some quick googling, I have found out that this is due to fluid retention and continued pressure on the face during sleep.

There are two main reason why I haven't been very regular with my blog post, firstly being the fact that school is major busy and full on basically all the time, so I have no time to take outfit posts during the week days. Because I seem to put in so much effort working out what to wear everyday now being in sixth form, during the weekends I just feel like wearing something boring, casual and not blog worthy. However, I am enjoying the freedom of not having a uniform to wear to school, so would you guys be interested in seeing some of my sixth form outfits?

The second reason for the lack of blog posts is because I've just not really acquired any new clothes recently as I don't have any time to go shopping! However, seeing that I now have so many outfit posts up, I think I might just repeat some of the clothes I have, but style them in a different way.

Saying that, this cardigan was actually new though. My friend OW gave it to me and I'm so glad as it is amazingly soft due to the angora in it. However, one major problem is that it literally sheds everywhere which is annoying as everything gets super fluffy and linty. It's nonetheless very awesome so thanks to OW for giving it to me.

In other news in the world of me is that I HAVE TWITTER (YIPPEE :D) - follow me @ScatterrBrained I've had this account for a long time, but I have no idea why I have used to earlier as it's amazing. I am literally so addicted to it, plus I think it's great as I can now interact with you guys on a more regular basis.

Ciao dahlings,

P.S. Revenge has also returned to US TV which has made me so happy as it's possibly one of my favourite TV dramas of all time! So many secrets yet to be uncovered, I'm so excited to see how everything unravels.

Here's One I Made Earlier

Bowler hat - River Island, denim/paisley jacket - DIY, polo shirt - £1 shop, trousers - M&S, shoes - River Island 

This was my lazy Sunday outfit as I'm wearing tregging sort trousers - something I'd never do on a week day! I normally wouldn't post an outfit like this, but  I thought I might as well today to show you guys the denim jacket that I DIY- ed with some paisley awesomeness.

I have been in love with Sara's WAISTE denim jackets for a long time and if I had all the money in the world, I would buy them all, but unfortunately I don't, so I thought I might as well get crafty and try and make my own interpretation of one. Since I am literally in love with paisley print, I thought I'd make a paisley print denim jacket!

This jacket looks like it would've been relatively easy to make, but it certainly was not. I really wanted paisley panels, so I through a plethora of charity shops, trying to find something paisley. At last, I found a paisley quilted floor length jacket, which I cut off the ends and used the material for this DIY. Since it was quilted, I had to unpick ALL of the criss-cross stitching, in order to detach the lining and the padding. Once I had done, then I could finally attach the pieces of material.

Now, before last week, the last time I had done any sort of machine sewing was in Year 9 in our textiles lessons, so I was worried that I would be a bit rusty with it, but turned out that the sewing part was fine - getting the material so it was the right size was the hard bit!

Alas I have finally finished this jacket after 4 hours unpicking the quilting and sewing. I wish I had bought a larger jacket than this one to have done this DIY on, as I think denim jackets look better oversized, but I am, nonetheless, very happy with it! Making this jacket was actually quite fun, so watch this space - I might make some more and sell them in the near future!

That is all for today. School has been majorly stressful as of lately (doing technically 6 A level subjects, looming violin audition, running Glee Club, MD of Young Enterprise...), hence why I have had no time to update this blog. I thank all the people who have been patient and not so patient (Olivia ;)) with my sporadic posts. I will post more frequently when I have more time - half term maybe?

Ciao for now,

P.S. This is my 100th post on my blog! How time flies when you're having fun ;)

Bargain Hunter

Tie-dye shirt - DIY, necklace - market, shorts - Topshop via charity shop, belt - charity shop, black sheer shirt - punkyfish, Chelsea boots - Doc Marten's via T.K.Maxx

This look is called Bargain Hunter, due to the fact that most of the items I am wearring in this outfit are absolute bargains. Take my belt for example, it only cost 25p from a charity shop at the bottom of a bucket full of belts, yet it is so awesome looking and genuine leather. On the back, there is MOD DEP engraved on it, meaning modele depositato, which means registered design (i.e. copyright). There was also a brand on the back which I googled and they were selling belts for around £40, so I definitely bagged myself a bargain.

Moreover, I also found these Topshop shorts as well as the American flag shorts from Topshop in a charity shop for only £1.25 and £1.50 respectively as well! They just caught the corner of my eye as I was walking down the street and it was like the thrift gods were rewarding me with shorts that were exactly in my size, brand new and so ridiculously cheap. However, I had no money on me, so I literally sprinted to the cash machine to take out some money to buy them. I am literally so happy with them and I think I might customise this pair with some tie-dye or patches.

Third item I'd like to mention are my amazing Doc Marten Darla boots in black. They were only £35 from £130 and I found them in T.K.Maxx. They are deceivingly high, which is a bummer as I don't usually were heels, so it's going to take a little practice getting use to them. However, there is actually a slight platform, and since the shoes are very well made, they are really quite comfortable. In fact, I have actually aquired another pair of Doc Martens from T.K.Maxx as well in the last few weeks (brown leather with wool lining!), which I am unfortunately going to give to my sister who lives in Scotland, so she could do with some warm shoes.

So basically, I advice everyone to flock to T.K.Maxx. asap to snap up all the amazing deals on Doc Martens as they are by far my favourite brand of shoe. I've had my blue Pascal boots for half a year now, and I reckon I've worn them 30% of the time and pretty much 100% of my outfit posts feature them, as they are just so comfortable, high quality and look better and better as they age. Most shoes I buy wear out within a few months of continuous use, but my docs are still going strong, so they are definitely worth it, even at full price. I cannot see myself going back to normal high-street shoes now having experiencing the awesomeness of docs. Shoes are definitely the item I spend most money on, because cheaper shoes wear out so quickly due to abrasion and spending that extra money really does make a huge difference.

Anyway, that is it for today. I apologise if the ramble above makes no sense as I'm so tired from my first week of school. Hope I can put up more posts than I am now, as need to practice my literary skills before they disintegrate completely, due to lack of essay subjects taken at A level. Currently, the subject where I do the most writing in is DT, so that is saying something! However, that probably isn't going to happen as I'm a terrible blogger.

Farewell,

P.S. Danke to all the lovely girlies who said my hair looked nice in my previous post, I actually did do something different to it! I had dyed the ends slightly more red again! You guys are so observant, I wouldn't have noticed! 

Back To School And Update

Tweed blazer - St Michael's @ M&S, top - Topshop via charity shop, trousers - mum's, shoes - M&S

I realise that this outfit is not exactly that inspiring and it's sort of similar to this outfit. It is really quite a boring outfit, but since it was our first day of school, I thought I might as well be a bit more conservative with my appearance as I don't want to get off on the wrong foot at Sixth Form. I thought I might as well post it as I do want to catch up with you guys and just have a little chat. There are a few things I want to tell you guys.
Vintage sunglasses:

They are actually worth £120!

If you remember this post from ages ago (if you do, you are a true ScatterrBrained fan!), I featured some vintage sunglasses. Being the boring middle-aged people my parents are, they decided to go on "Flog It!" and find out how much they are worth, along with some other antiques that we have. If you are not from the UK, "Flog It!" is a very English, day-time television program that has been broadcasting since the beginning of time, which is all about buying and reselling antiques in an auction to see how much money can be made. Turns out these turtle shell glasses are actually worth £120-£150, but my mum reckons they are worth more! We didn't sell they as they are a family heirloom and have a far greater sentimental value, but it was very interesting. Next time I shall definitely be more careful with these very fragile sunglasses as they are actually worth something.

That is it for today - my first day of school has made me feel so tired. I'm doing 5 subjects (maths, further maths, physics, chemistry and product design - resistant materials!). I was going to drop res mat, but today just reminded me how much I enjoy it! However, all these subjects have worn me out, yet somehow today, I feel more productive so I just had to put a blog post up, hence the boring outfit, but I hope it was alright for you guys.

Bleached Out

Shirt - DIY, barbed wire necklace - Topshop, green denim shirt - Camden, trousers - local shop, shoes - Doc Martens

This is really awkward as I've just realised that I've got my hands on my hips in all my poses and I've used the same photograph twice by accident... I cannot be bothered to take the photos again or re-edit them, so you'll just have to excuse the terrible photos. I think this outfit would've looked awesome if I had a camouflage jacket to go with it, but since I don't, my green denim shirt which you guys are probably getting very fed up with will have to do!

I made this t shirt myself and I'm super happy with how it turned out! I will definitely be bleaching more items as there are so many possibility that you could have with this technique. One thing I forgot was that the t-shirt would stretch over my boob area, so the yin-yang sign is a bit lopsided, but it's only a minor problem. Would you guys be interested in buying t-shirts like this if I were to sell them on an on-line store (they would only cost £7.00 ish + P&P!!).

If you want to know how I made this t-shirt myself, click below to watch my tutorial. A huge thanks to MP for doing the bleaching with me and helping me film! (Please excuse the fact that the thumbnail for the video is my arse...XD)

Anyway, on the brighter side of life, I got my GCSE results yesterday! I got 11A*s, 1 A, A in AS Chinese and A in additional maths. Wooop! My dad has said that he's going to buy me a new laptop as a reward for my awesome grades, so that will mean that I will be able to edit videos which are over 5 minutes long without take a week.

You guys are awesome for still reading my blog even though I am a terrible blogger when it comes to consistency. All I know is that I am consistently inconsistent! That is mainly because I have run out of clothes to blog about, thus I will be posting more outfit posts when I acquire new clothes.

Ciao dahlings,

∆

Spiked headband - Topshop, necklaces - Claire's and China, crop top - H&M, rainbow shorts - Motel Rocks, shoes - Docs, denim shirt - vintage

I know what you are thinking: "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN REBECCA!"

I apologise for my unprecedented hiatus from the blogosphere; I have just not been motivated to write. However, fear not! Once every blue moon, I am in a strange essay writing mood and today is one of those occasions. Today I am going utilise this rare phenomenon which comes upon me to talk to you guys about this band I have been enjoying: alt-J! I usually keep these longer posts on my second blog (PeaaBrained), but I have a few things I want to tell you guys, so unlucky you!

Alt-J
The title of this post refers to a band that I've been digging. Known as "alt-J"or "∆", this band is really having a huge impact on the music industry as of lately, since they are being loved by a plethora of musical taste makers everywhere.

The name of their band refers to the delta sign that is created when you press alt-J on your keyboard. The delta sign (little triangle) is also a mathematical sign that symbolises change, which appealed to the band as the new name came at a turning point of their lives. I think this is awfully clever and it very much appeals to my nerdy tendencies, thus I automatically had a penchant for this band, even before I even heard their music.

As for their album "An Awesome Wave", I think it is a work of art. I have listened to their entire album during the duration of putting together this post and really reminds me to the album "XX" by "The XX" in 2009 (can you believe that it was that long ago? I know I can't!). My favourite parts of the album are actually the interludes and the nostalgic samples used. The hip-hop break beats, xylophone solos, falsetto harmonies and folky melodies are also a killer combination. As you can probably tell, I am truly terrible at describing music, so I encourage you to listen to the entire album below. If you are new to them, I recommend their lead single "Tessellate", but my personal favourite songs are "Dissolve" and "Interlude II".
I reckon that they are the most "indie"/"hipster" band in the history of ever, especially with lyrics such as "triangles are my favourite shapes" - even the name of the band is a triangle! With that being said, I hope that they have similar, commercial success as the moody emos that make up the XX. It's always fun to witness the irony when their elitist, hipster bubble is popped by the enticing lure of wealthy broadcasting companies and transnational car companies wanting their music for advertisements.

Now I've just gone off on a tangent and I think it is time to end this spiel as it's gone way off topic!

Ciao!

P.S. My brain is turning into mush after watching the entire series of "Revenge" in two days... It's just so good! Anyone else watch it? I love Nolan!
P.P.S. You may notice something different about my blog header and my YouTube background. My super cool friend Jack from "Desirous Designs" made it for me. Please check out his YouTube for more of his design portfolio. He's great at doing 3D graphics, backgrounds and making YouTube introductions, so if you are interested, just message him and tell him I sent you! :)
P.P.P.S Apparently on my last post, the video link somehow seemed to miraculously disappear, so I've fixed that problem! Here is an amended link to my "What's In My Bag" video.
P.P.P.P.S. The awesome Riley from had a great give away which I was very lucky to win! Check out her blog here.
P.P.P.P.P.S. This has been a weird post - apologies for the verbal vomit. I really am out of practise when it comes to blogging. I will post a more coherent post ASAP!

Join the Fray

floral headband - Primark, necklace - DIY, shirt - DIY, shorts - Urban Outfitters, socks - Primark, boots - Doc Martens

Yes, that is right, I made that crazy shirt. Yesterday I had a huge tie dye/hippy party with my friends (more detailed post about this coming tomorrow) and I decided to tie dye almost all the white things in my wardrobe, so look out for more tie-dye stuff in the future!

I made the fatal mistake of not using warm water, so most of the items have come up pastel coloured, but I don't particularly mind that. Then I went a bit scissor happy and decided to shred it up with plenty of fringing, creating this top as a result. It does sort of fit the hippy theme to my party with the tie dye, but it is more something that I would imagine you would wear to a festival. I probably did this subconsciously because I am not going to any festivals this year. :(

And yes, I know what you are thinking: "Rebecca, you are an utter failure! Only two days into BEDIS and you have already managed to miss out a day!"

I really dislike making a promise and not sticking to it, but I have been seriously busy these two days with the tie dye party and other such shenanigans. I wasn't even in the right frame of mind for today's post, but I felt like I couldn't let you guys down. I have filmed a video to accompany this post, as well as snippets of my tie dye party and me cutting this top, but I have not had time to edit them. I also took these pictures when it was super late, hence the awful lighting, but I felt like I had to put something up!

See you tomorrow (fo'shizzle) and PEACE!

P.S. Does anyone actually still read my garble below my pictures? Am I writing too much in my posts? Please inform me of your opinion in the comments below!

Triple Burgundy

Headband - Accessorise, top - mum's, skirt and belt - River Island, sandals - M&S, bracelet - Primark, lipstick - starry-eyed by Rimmel

 ~RANDOM NUGGET OF KNOWLEDGE~
Yes, I am bringing back this awesomeness - if you are a hardcore ScatterrBrained fan, you guys will know what I am talking about.
Did you know that burgundy is a red colour associated with the wine of the same name, which in turn is named after the Burgundy region of France? (You probably did as it's pretty common knowledge, so a fail on my behalf...)

Today's outfit is pretty different to most of my outfits as it is quite put together and feminine - two adjectives I usually don't associate with my style. However, I do like it, so I am sharing with you today for day 2 of BEDIS: Blog Every Day In Summer!

Ciao for now!


Rebecca x

P.S. Just an early warning, I may not be able to complete BEDIS tomorrow as I'm super busy with a tie-dye party! I apologise in advance, but since I did two posts yesterday, I hope that compensates!

Pull Yourself Together Now

Hat and striped leggings - Hype, tie-dye vest top - DIY, necklaces - Claire's, China and Prague, shoes - New Look

I always seem to be moaning and always negative on my blog nowadays and I realise that this has got to stop! I'm just going to quickly vent all of the issues I have with this post and move on: I don't like the fact that I look super grumpy, the video is literally terrible, I have written / filmed various other outfits but I am having serious IT problems and the photo's white balance are both messed up.

Now for the positive things! 

• BEDIS: Blog Every Day In Summer!

I am honestly sick of my terrible-ness as a blogger, hence why from today, I am going to re-commence BEDIS, which stands for Blog Every Day In Summer! No more tardiness from me. I going to try to post at least every day either on this blog or Peaabrained, my second personal blog, so keep remembering to check back.

•  Giveaway?!

I have started gathering some super cool items for a super cool giveaway which I will be hosting soon. A quick hint for one of the multiple items in the giveaway: it's included in this outfit!

• DIY posts/videos?

This shirt was tie-dyed by yours truly about two years ago- I realise it hasn't turned out that great but I feel like I'm quite familiar with the process now and in fact on Monday, I am having a tie-dying party. Would you guys be interested in a video regarding how to tie-dye? I have also done a few other t-shirt customisations recently and I think that would be pretty cool to show in a video post too.

Again, apologies for being a moody cow recently - it's just frustrating and discouraging when I've spent hours (literally) working towards content for this blog, but it hasn't materialised into posts. However, blogging is something that I cannot see myself without in the near future, so I'm just going to try to forget the past and start again fresh with new and better posts. I have done a tad bit of shopping, thus my need of new clothes to document has been forfilled.

See you tomorrow in BEDIS: Blog Every Day In Summer*!

P.S. *I might have to miss a few days of blogging this holiday, but I'm going to try as hard as I can as I don't really have any excuse to not to. The large majority of my friends are on the otherside of the world having fun on holiday, but instead of weeping in my sorry, I'm going to channel that energy into creating great blog content for you.
P.P.S. Just because I am feeling nice to you guys and I don't have enough new findings to create an entire music post, here is a dude I have just stumbled across who is literally so talented. 16 year old Leo Stannard is definitely one to watch for the future - yes he looks like he could be in One Direction, but he has a voice which I would compare to the likes of the amazing Ben Howard with his incredible tone. I also love his guitar playing with all the harmonics. Enjoy!

Patterned Shirt and Smart Trousers

Patterned shirt - charity shop, trouses - mum's, socks - New Look, brogues - M&S

Here is the same shirt from the last outfit post, but styled with some smart trousers instead of leather shorts to make them suitable for my sixth form induction, where the dress code was smart/casual.

I think I have slightly improved my editing skills, but the quality of the video is still pretty lacking. I am learning and hopefully the next few videos will be even better. I apologise about the fact that the video is so quiet, but I was talking a load of nonsense anyway most of the time. Again, I feel like a parrot by constantly regurgitating the fact that I have been very inconsistent with my blog writing and video making. However, now since it is the holidays, I hope I will have more time for more regular posts.

On the other hand, I have stumbled across a slight problem - I have run out of clothes to blog about! However, this is a perfect incentive for me to do some shopping, especially since I have acquired quite a few gift cards for my birthday.

Thanks for being loyal to my blog, even though I have not been that loyal myself to it.

Rebecca x.
P.S. I am very slightly worried about some of my viewers to my YouTube videos - someone who commented on my video seemed to have a disturbing fetish for disabled people sex (I'm not even joking...). Luckily I've blocked him, but it's still rather worrying! 
P.P.S. New post on my second blog - My Birthday Wishlist!

Patterned Shirt and "Leather" Shorts

Patterned shirt - charity shop, shorts - local shop, thick leggings - Primark, boots - Doc Martens

 

As I said in the video, I love this garish shirt. It reminds me of the Bayeux Tapestry as it document a specific moment in history, just like how the Bayeux Tapestry documents the Battle of Hastings. It depicts this huge village scene where there are people travelling across the river via oxen (THAT'S THAT WORD I WAS THINKING OF IN THE VIDEO!), washing their clothes in the river and just generally carrying out their daily lives but in a way which is so foreign and simplistic compared to our complicated lives nowadays.

Also as I mentionned in the video, I am almost developing a thing for gaudy and loud patterned shirts, so I may film a "How I style Patterned Shirts" video anytime soon. Thus I think that that is a perfect incentive for you guys to head on over to my YouTube channel and subscribe?! ScatterrBrained's Youtube


As usual, I apologise for the terrible quality of video and the aspect ratio again. I think it is YouTube's fault since before I upload them, the aspect ratio seems fine.

PEACE!


Rebecca x
P.S. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I was sort of depressed in the morning, but your comments really did cheer me up - thank you.
