Winter Wishlist

Right now I am very much embracing my 90's grunge teen and have in fact recently purchased my own pair of "Mum Jeans", which to my delight my mum insisted on telling (on numerous occasions) that she used to own back in the 90's. I then went on to explain that they were actually called "Mum Jeans" and were actually based on the jeans that mums used to wear in the 90's. You'd think that would have cleared it all up but no, every time I don them for a casual day my mum pulls out the line, "I had a pair just like that when you were growing up." Yes mum I get it. 

On to the wishlist then...

Before I start I just want to put it out there that if anyone would be so kind as to buy me these items I will love you forever and pay you in home-made cookies and Thai fish cakes (my specialities FYI).

1. Lena Parental Print T-Shirt Dress in Black 
    £16.99 Missguided
A lot of the time I have to wear black for work (I work in a bar most days) and so I am very limited in what I can wear. Sure there are no shortage of black clothes, but I don't want to simply wear black jeans and a black t-shirt like most of my co-workers do. I want to add a bit of my own style to it and this t-shirt dress allows me to. I'd probably style it up with some black knee-high socks, a big gold chain and creepers or my Jeffrey Campbell red velvet Slingin Boots.  
2. Enchanted Ring
    £32.00 Shop Dixi
This beaut of a ring just came onto the Shop Dixi website and of course, like all of their stuff, I want it. It's so unusual and sort of resembles a snake I think. Just need to save a few pennies before I can splash out again.
3.Louise Lace Cami Slip Dress in Peach
   £29.99 Missguided
So apparently the whole wearing your underwear as outerwear is back in, except this time we're flashing our slips. I really love this dress and think it taps into the trend subtly. I would definitely either rock it up with my Docs and a black leather jacket or go for soft look with a floral kimono and maybe tan sandals or wedges in the summer.
4. Blue Palm Print Jacquard Skort
    £36.00 Topshop
I do love a skort and think its an eclectic way to jazz up an outfit especially with this print, which is reminiscent of a Hawaiian shirt, which I totally adore. I am a Hawaiian shirt addict. Anyway I think this would look cool with a plain white tee, maybe a blazer or a light denim jacket. 
5. The Aggy by Agyness Deyn X Dr Marten
    £140 Solestruck
As far as I know these are sold out everywhere, so I'm keeping a close eye on the ebay listings. I already own two pairs of docs, but since I do have an obsession with platforms and creepers it just seems silly (probably only to me) that I don't own these platform docs, which combines my love of both styles.
6. Moonstone Poison Box Ring
    £32.00 Shop Dixi 
I have wanted this ring ever since it came onto the site, however every time I went to buy it it was sold out and then when it came back in stock; I was broke. I think it's actually sold out again but I love it so much it has to be on my wishlist.

OK so that concludes my current wishlist, the actual one is a whole longer but I thought I wouldn't bore you completely with me moaning endlessly about all the things I can't afford haha. Anything major you're saving towards or just constantly lusting over?

The T.M.I. Tag

The T.M.I. Tag seems to be circulating on the blogging and YouTubing circuit, so I thought as someone new to the scene this would be the ideal follow up to my last post. 

So here it goes, hope it's not too much information for y'all ;)

1: What are you wearing? 
An oversized pink vest from Topshop and fairisle pyjama bottoms 
2: Ever been in love?
Yes, twice.
3: Ever had a terrible breakup?
Yep, I've had one really traumatic break up and another one which was pretty terrible.
4: How tall are you? 
5'2"
5: How much do you weigh? 
Arrrrgh, I don't want to say, but I will say I'm a curvy girl lol.
6: Any tattoos?
YES. I'm obsessed with tattoos. I have 7 and I'm planning more. I have both my feet done, my ribs, my wrist, the inside of my elbow, my shoulder and my latest is one my friend gave me when we were drunk. It's on the inside of my foot and is 3 (wobbly) lines. HE IS NOT A TATTOOIST. Clearly -_- haha
7: Any piercings? 
Yep. I have 9 piercings. One cartilage piercing, one tragus piercing and two normal lobe piercings on my left ear. Two cartilage piercings and two lobe piercings on right ear, one nose piercing and I also have my tongue done.
8: OTP? 
Errm if you'd asked me this a year ago I would have said yes without hesitation, but since going through a pretty difficult break up and losing the person I thought was my soulmate I'm a bit more cynical. Part of me still holds on to the fact that that person might be my OTP and will come back to me but the other part of me says, fuck em there's no such thing.
9: Favorite Show? 
American Horror Story
10: Favorite bands? 
The Smiths, ALt-J, Swim Deep, Florence and the Machine, Snakadaktal, Daughter, I could go on...
11: Something you miss?
Being young and carefree.
12: Favorite song? 
Ok I couldn't narrow it to one so I chose four. 
The Smiths- This Charming Man
Alt-J- Dissolve Me/Matilda
Florence and the Machine- Cosmic Love
13: How old are you? 
22, Christ
14: Zodiac sign? 
Capricorn
15: Quality you look for in a partner? 
Good sense of humour, a relaxed air about them.
16: Favourite Quote?
"We're all mad here" It's from Alice in Wonderland, it was my favourite book as a child and I loved the Cheshire Cat who said his line. I actually have this tattooed on me. 
17: Favourite actor? 
Leonardo DiCaprio (I know, what a cliché) but I do actually think he's an amazing actor especially in Blood Diamond. 
Can't forget Shia LaBeouf- MEGA CRUSH ON HIM.
18: Favourite color? 
Probably purple. Most of room is purple, plus I have lavender hair.
19: Loud music or soft?
Totally depends on my mood. If I'm in a mood I like soft depressing music but most of the time I love blaring out tunes and singing along to them, much to the annoyance of my family haha.
20: Where do you go when you’re sad? 
When I lived in Brighton, I went to the beach and would just sit there with my headphones and a book. Now I'm back in London I'll probably just sulk in my bed and go for a run to distract myself.
21: How long does it take you to shower? 
10 minutes
22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?
If I'm showering as well then an hour because I'll have to blow dry my hair and everything. Otherwise it's normally about 35-40 minutes... How specific lol.
23: Ever been in a physical fight? 
Errm yes kind of. It was more my friend but you know when you're drunk and you think you can help. Yeah don't think I was much help.
24: Turn on? 
In terms of a personality, someone who is pretty confident and funny attracts me. Physically I love a muscly back and the veins guys get in their forearms. I also like it if a guy bites my neck. lol TMI? 
25: Turn off? 
Attention seeker, someone who likes drama, someone who criticises everything around them but doesn't look at themselves.
26: The reason I started blogging?
I studied English at university and I've always loved writing. I decided I was fed up of just reading other people's blogs and decided I wanted to get myself out there.
27: Fears? 
Spiders, bananas, being rejected, ending up alone lol.

"This tea isn't sweet enough, put your finger in it for me please."
48: Have you ever used it?
As a joke on my friend we try out the funny chat up lines we hear and laugh at their ridiculousness. (He's probably actually writing them down and using them on girls haha)
49: Last time you hung out with anyone?

50: Who should answer these questions next?
I'm going to tag anyone who reads this blog. There are a lot of new bloggers like me out there who won't have other bloggers tagging them. So if you've read this and you have a blog or you're thinking of starting one, I TAG YOU. YES YOU :P

I hope you enjoyed this post and have got to know me a bit more. I hope my weird fear of bananas didn't freak you out (it's a real thing ok lol). Maybe leave some fun facts about yourself in the comments that could be considered TMI. I frigging love hearing that sort of thing. In  my world there is no such thing as too much information. Ask my friends... They hate it hahaha
