3000 photographs

So the past few weeks have been eventful. Back to school = STRESSFUL!!!!

There seriously must be something wrong with me, because I have a bad case of bad luck. Everything keeps on going wrong for me, but I don't know why. I haven't done anything...well that I know of. So this morning I am making a drink and go and knock the bottle of squash all over the sofa. Yesterday morning I open the fridge and an egg falls out and goes all over the floor. The day before I decided to spill milk all over the table. And that’s just a few things; seriously my life is so bad at the moment "/

It makes things worse that my house is completely upside down; with us having are kitchen re-furbished.  So now the whole house is crazy; in the lounge there is: 2 sofas, table, coffee table, fridge, 2 dining chairs, microwave, kettle,  toaster, all of the food, pots, pans and cutlery. So wherever you go, you end up walking into everything! It’s a lot worse than it sounds; and it doesn’t help that everyone is stressed about it.

At the weekend I decided to chill, and I didn’t realise but I took around 3000 photographs. :)

Summer is nearly over

So two more days left of summer vacation, and school starts once again. To make matters worse we have the new school uniform; which is just utterly terrible. The worst uniform I have ever seen and I look like a Harry Potter reject!

Grey trousers, white shirt, black blazer with a random bird logo and a clip-on tie. Why clip-on?  Why not a normal tie….So life at school is going to be hell for the next months, living with my tight top button done up unable to breath, paired with my obese white shirt.

So my plan is to try and make my uniform more interesting. Any ideas? I have some brogues and a nice bag, and I shall wear some kind of hair accessory like a flower :)

Found in a chest

So I decided to sort through my chest of draws and I found a folder full of manga drawings from last year, which i completely forgot about.

        

      

It has been a while since I have drawn some manga, so i might pick it back up again soon :P

Autumn collection H&M

So summer 2010 is nearly at its end, when it doesn’t even feel like it’s even begun; with this terrible weather we have had but I suppose that’s England for you!

So most shops have their autumn collections in store, one of my favourites is H&M. I am in love with the “cool in Khaki” collection; the colours are bang on trend and you can mix it with other looks like: military, worn fabrics, denim, long shirts, maxi, and authentic details.

Arizona Dream. Knitwear and all things denim are all big this season and Autumn is hot this year

The new black. “Consider shades of brown as substitutes for black and match your neutral favourites with this season’s metallic colours in various yellow tones. Or make the most of what’s left of your summer tan by mixing various beige hues with gold details that pick up on the bronze. Unlike your suntan, the bronze/gold trend will hang on all autumn.” H&M

Who's that girl? Sporty wear meets glamour.

1980's Leg warmers and jelly shoes

Over the past few days I have become obsessed with the band ‘Blur’, and the so called 1980’s fashion. It’s amazing what people used to wear back in the days: leg warmers, ray-bans, jelly shoes and oversized sweatshirts.

Today I brought a nice pair of vintage 1980’s polka-dot shorts from a car boot sale for a bargain 50p; it’s amazing what you can find on car boots. :P

Xoxo, Roxie
