Can my hair please do the thing?

Not gonna lie, the thought of lopping all my hair off is very tempting. But it's scary, isn't it? I mean, I've had super-long dead straight hair forever and I have always been in a very strong love/hate relationship with it. Its just so awkward.

And yet I've seen examples of short-ish hair done right. Ellie from ellie's favourite things for example. There are girls at my school who look friggin fabulous with it. There are literally hundreds of examples of people with damn awesome hair everywhere.

I think (and this is what I always end up doing) that I'm probably going to take it agonisingly slow and cut off a few inches every couple of months. I'm not sure. I think if I did take the plunge THIS is what my reaction would be:

All hail the 70s

1 | 2 | 3

4 | 5

9 | 10

To be quite honest, I was never one of those people who were *ahem* bold enough to go for the 70s look. The closest I ever got was perhaps a flower crown and I'm not even sure that counts. I would have cringed at the thought of wearing wooden wedges and mustard colored pieces. I would never, NOT EVER be seen dead in THAT.

But times have changed.

And frankly my younger self should have at least tried it because (if done subtly) it can be awesome as hell. For example, my favourite coat has a lovely 70s/80s feel to it and I wear it with my roll neck jumper, my mary janes that I got from a charity shop and my ripped light blue skinny jeans. I personally think it looks very cute and quite spring-ish.

See ya soon guys

The Unicorn Hotel

I often find that when I'm thinking up posts, I have all these creative ideas and I can't wait to execute them. The only issue is that when it gets down to actually doing it, I either,

A: procrastinate and never get the project done,

B: Find that when I'm doing the photography for the post the lighting is so poor and I give up completely, or,

C: the background for the post is totally awful and I end up searching around the house WILLING for there to be decent floor/wall to do it in with adequate lightning but end up getting so frustrated so I just flop down on my bed in a mixture of despair and irritability and wonder why I even bother.

Please say that someone agrees with me and struggles with this! I often wonder how people actually get those perfectly white walls that look like they're straight out of a fashion magazine. How do people DO this??

*sigh*

See ya soon guys

Dawn of the Pretentious Slippers

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

AGhhhhhhj;dsnjkcnsdcmdl.

I had my teeth out today. OH. MY. GOD. It was just awful. But at least its over. Its (supposed) to be a smooth downhill slope from here. Wish me luck.

But anyway, I think this is one of my more... mature-ish outfits. I say this because of the frankly, weird shoes. What the hell are you meant to do with your heel? They remind me of pretentious-slippers quite honestly. What do you think?
I do really wish I had a gorgeous gigantic jumper like that one though. I would love to snuggle to up in that, read bizarre fanfiction and try not to spill tea on myself in that.

(I was clearly meant for Fashion Week as you can tell.)

See ya soon guys

Leafy Appreciation

I'm getting used to dragging my camera out everywhere I go now. I mean, its still seriously awkward just doing random photography in the middle of Nottingham and I still prefer going out to quieter places (ie Clumber Park) but I'm getting used to it.

If I could, all my photos would be of fluffy puppies. There was a stupid amount of dogs that I both cuddled and photographed that day. There are lots of failed photos saved of blurry pups cus' THEY KEEP MOVING. Don't get me wrong, it's cute as hell, but it would be nice to get a decent photo of a living pom-pom for once...

See ya soon guys
