Last day of Term

Pants/ Beyond Retro, Shirt/ Rummage Sale, Jacket/ Sun Thrift, Shoes/ T.u.k.

$up,
Today was the last day of my first term at LCF! Whoohoo! I'm thrilled to be done because that means the holidays are here and I get to go home and see my family! So much exclamations.

Lets talk about this outfit.
These pants were probably one of the best investments I have made since I have moved here. They are wool and on really cold days like this, they keep me warm and of course they are plaid. You can never go wrong with plaid. never. One of my favorite things to do with plaid is mixing it with floral designs, like this jacket. This jacket is a bit to short for me, but it fits my shoulders (which is hard to do). It is velvet and super itchy on the inside. Truthfully, it's a hassle and I don't really like to wear it, but today I needed to. The shirt I got from the rummage sale a couple of months ago in east London. A lot of the clothes were stained there (not in a gross way, but in a painters way) and this shirt, I found out this morning is one of them. I know that sounds kind of odd, but when I originally bought it, I thought it was pink, but now I think it was white, but it was washed with something that was pink, and it got pink-ified. Lastly this outfit is complete with my creepers. I have warn these near to death, they are kind of falling apart, but they still get me from point A to point B. Thats the important part.

So I had to get these shoes. I just had to. I remember my mom had a pair when I was little and I thought they were so ugly. I never thought in a million years I would be searching Ebay for a size 5 at 3 in the morning. They are surprisingly comfortable and I love how they look. This is my sort of Lazy Sunday [posted on a friday] look.

Music- I find it fitting to post some music that has been occupying my mind, the past couple of weeks.

I think I am slowly getting used to the weather. It's been really nice the past couple of days. I have only had to wear one pair of tights. I used to wear three pairs and two sweaters under a jacket. It is only going to get colder though, so I better prepare. Every time I skype my family they tend to point out how hot it is in Los Angeles and then I get all butt hurt because it rains every day here. I think its more funny then anything.

This picture is one from a shoot that I did on wednesday with the donuts and the ice cream. So of course I have the lovely Rachel Dunlop to thank for this. She is really an amazing photographer, please check out her pages, facebook, Website.

Donut Talk to Me

$up,
Sorry for my absence this past week. Things have been pretty hectic and yet not. I have had class every day this week, but there is a lack of consistency with the times and people in the classes I am going to. for example today I had class at 4:30-6:30 and it was with BA footwear and FDA footwear, but yesterday I had a lecture at 9am to 10am with a whole different course and the day before that there was a class in mid afternoon that had about 10 kids in it. I can't always take a picture of my outfit mostly because of the weather. I'm still trying to figure out this whole living in London thing, I guess. I've been told the weather has been surprisingly good this year, but to my california blood it's been cold and rainy. I am adjusting though! These pictures were taken yesterday for a friends photo project. I don't know what the project was for, but I loved doing it, it was really fun. I also got paid in donuts, which is always a plus. A good way to get my love is giving me sweets, or flowers (but that's pretty obvious).

I am wearing two different outfits in these pictures. The all pink long sleeve dress is from that rummage sale I mentioned in the last post, I absolutely adore it. The other dress I have worn before on my blog. I got it in the Camden Market. It was a really great find, and I still am obsessed with it. The donut necklace I am wearing is from Cyber Dog in Camden Town, and the earrings I got in the market in that area. My headband is actually a real donut, thank god it didn't fall off.

All these pictures were taken by Rachel Dunlop, and please please check out her facebook page here and her website here, she is so talented!

What is it about overalls that makes us feel like girly 6 year olds again? I got these beauties at a rummage sale under a sketchy bridge in London. I went by myself and wasn't very familiar with the area, there also wasn't an address so that made things a little tricky. Someone told me to get off the tube turn left and then another left and then walk to a bridge and that is where the sale is. Sketchy? I followed those directions, but when I got to the bridge I didn't see anything and felt a little on gard. There was a sign pointing down this little alley way next to the bridge and that is where the sale was. I ended up being one of the only ones there, but my oh my what a gem of a sale. There were 20 racks of clothing all second hand, and you picked up a bag (small or large) and you payed 10-20 pounds and you could fill up the bag. I spent 20 and got the large bag, and I got the best stuff. The person that was running the sale was so friendly, he let me slip in some more clothing then the bag would allow. I thought it was so nice of him to do that.
