Maxi skirt & emo bracelets

Hey, it's (insert your name) right? Welcome back. Sorry to have abandoned you for a week but the joys of end of year exams have joined me. I know lots of you have had actual real GCSEs or other exams too, so I'm sure you're in a similar state of procrastination. In other news, this giant skeleton-like branch fell from a neighboring tree into our garden and I thought it would be interesting to shoot an outfit with.


 
This is my new signature hairstyle I think. I've sort of stolen it from Lucy in my favourite anime Fairy Tail, which if you don't watch I totally recommend. I sometimes wear a ribbon around the little side pony too, which definitely adds to the anime character effect.


 I have been loving my new maxi skirt lately. It's so comfortable and easy to wear. It's oddly empowering and instantly makes you look taller. 


Silver ring - H&M (from a set)
Mid ring - Miss selfridge


Heroes shirt - brother's old
Skirt - M&S
Boots - thrifted



Necklace was a gift from my friend Shivani ("necklace?" - how she will respond to reading this) who I don't think even knows I have a blog but hey thanks! It's so pretty and I've been wearing it all the time.


And here are said Emo bracelets next to some dainty flowers because who doesn't love a good contrast? The skull charm one is sort of childish but really reminds me of my very own cliched goth phase. The other black beaded one was a gift from my brother, and if you look closely has all the My Chemical Romance album cover art on each bead. And that is why I call them emo bracelets.

2. I play the ukulele, guitar and I sing in a band
3. New York and Sydney are my favourite places in the world

11 questions for the nominees
1. What language(s) do you speak?
2. What are your hobbies/passions?
3. Have you changed a lot since childhood?
4. What kind of movies do you like?
5. Are you a shoulder or hand purse kinda gal?
6. Where have you or would you like to travel?
7. What kind of books do you like to read?
8. What are you interested in?
9. What made you start your blog?
10. What is your fondest memory?
11. What's your dream?

1. English and learning French at school.
2. Blogging, I love reading, watching anime (if that's a hobby), photography and drawing/art in general.
3. Yes, I've learnt a lot which has influenced many changes, but I still have a child's spirit when I need it.
4. I like comedy movies the best (preferably with a decent story line too). Disaster movies are good and I like the way you immediately think about what you would do in that situation. Oh and black and white movies always make me really happy (bonus points if it has swing music included).
5. Backpacks or bags with a shoulder straps are my favourite, they are more comfortable and give more of a laid back look.
6. I have been lucky enough to travel a lot and I really love it. Some of my favourite places I have been to are New York, Australia, Las Vegas, France and Belgium. In the future I really want to visit Japan and Vietnam.
7. My favourite books have a good story to them with a romance on the side (I'm a sucker for a love story). I also really like dystopia books.
8. Too many things. Fashion, literature, artists and philosophy to name a few.
9. I'd always loved fashion and writing and I had just discovered photography at the time, so I thought it would be a perfect way to combine all three. I loved the idea of an outlet for my creativity which I could share with others.
10. That's impossible to pick one! Last Easter I was in Sydney and very jet lagged so I woke up incredibly early, as did my dad. We were staying in this super quirky apartment filled with weird art but I liked it a lot. We went and sat on the balcony and just watched the sun rise. It was so blissful because the whole city was asleep for us and all we could hear was the sound of gentle crashing waves. That's a good one.
11. I think I will be very unhappy if I get a job that isn't creative. Doing something involving writing and fashion (eg magazine editor) would be my dream career, or a rock star I haven't decided yet.

Okay here are my 11 questions

1. Wardrobe staple you can't live without?
2. Favourite chocolate brand?
3. Mood your currently in?
4. What jewellery do you wear every day (if any)?

11. Meaning behind your blog name?

If you don't want to do this because it doesn't suit your blog don't worry I understand! Also me and Mattie have done this at the exact same time and were tagged by the same person so I expect we have listed similar people.
