It scares you being alone

Dress - Ink & Paint via ASOS, Jumper - Topshop, Shoes - Primark (old)
You can tell I'm enjoying making doubles of myself, hey? Good old paint. I've had this dress a while and usually just throw it on with converse and a leather jacket but I needed heels for picture purpose as I've not got the longest set in the world. My hairs a right frizzy mess, I just can't be bothered to deal with it anymore but I hate having it up!

So, I've decided to have a no spend two weeks (on clothes and beauty products etc) starting from tomorrow. I'm being a little naughty and buying some gig tickets right this moment (Bastille and only £9 for a ticket - go see them they're awesome!) and a ukulele. I thought it was about time I took up a hobby and I must admit music is one of those things that I've always wanted to get back into, I gave up playing the violin a looong time ago, I'm even tempted to give singing lessons a try if I pluck the courage up to sing in front of someone!

Summer's in the air, Heaven's in your eyes

Dress - Topshop £26
Gosh. You know when you have one of those days? Well any the resultant of today is that I'm now on a shopping ban for two weeks to make up for all the ridiculous charges I've managed to incur and I think it's about time I got serious about moving out and manager my money better. I'm going to use the blog to follow my progress, I think it'll be a lot more helpful to see where my money gets wasted in black and white. 
If anyone had any ideas for get rich quick schemes then hit me up as I have car insurance to pay and an awful, awful habit that I need to give up on!

Anyway, here's a result of said habit. I originally went into Nottingham for some more trainers and came out with a dress and a T-Shirt from Topshop (someone ban me from there, please!). However, it is nice and flattering plus it's easy to just throw on and go and the print is lovely. Can't complain about it at all, except my boobs seem to be somewhat stretching the pattern across my chest - this is usually the case for most dresses I'm afraid. My hair looks awful here, I've just dyed it too it's ginger nuttiness again but I'm tempted to go with the masses and go lilac soon, I think I could pull it off (maybe?!)

Nice guys finish last anyway

Shirt - Topshop (old), Top - Motel (reworked), Shorts - Levis (reworked)
This is probably what I would have worn at the weekend had it actually been sunny at Y Not festival! I stuck with the shorts but layered up with jumpers, socks and jackets, luckily it only rained a tiny bit on the Saturday and Sunday but with thousands of people trampling through the fields it soon turned into a mud bath - my hunters stayed firmly on my feet all weekend. 

I must say that I had the best time there, my third year running and it certainly won't be my last. I'll be doing a little write up on the festival for a website which will hopefully get published :) I'd better get cracking with it now in fact.
