beret.

two weeks, no posting. *shrug*

in which i done a trip to london and had a short what-i-call 'sad spell', which i dug myself out of by listening to the smiths and then watching an awful lot of QI, followed by happyfriendtimes in uni on monday. 4th year is actually lots of fun.

of course, sadtimes mostly involve looking as good as you feel, i.e. not very, so it was tuesday before i went 'I AM HAPPY AND AWESOME AND SHALL DRESS AS SUCH' upon crawling out of bed. cue beret.

also it was sunny, as you may notice.

it is now, of course, saturday, because i am very punctual when uploading photos.

there was a possibility we would end up at legends* so goth boots were a necessity....we did not end up at legends.

we're talking uni again.

what?

it's all i do right now*

my muse board was missing something; the kind of products she would buy and so on. i mean, i had such a strong muse in mind but it's hard to express "a spoilt heiress with no concept of the value of money, who stomps around her mansion in couture dresses with vintage army jackets and walking boots on a daily basis and doesn't do much but daydream" in visual form.

so when it comes to getting that idea across i really had to draw on my 'comparitive brands' and utilise a little blog-spiration to put some outfits my muse might stomp about in together in the style of textbook**

**if you're not familiar with textbook, shame. SHAME. he's currently guest blogging for fashionista but mainly styles literary characters using contemporary fashion on tumblr and he's fantastic. AND he's been in my blog list over there > for some time.

the skirt.

everything is handed in.
when loan day and hand in day collide, reward shopping is a necessity.
my friend clare told me 'jenn, there's this skirt in h&m that i saw and thought of you' and so as straight to h&m it was. i'm glad she brought it to my attention...

they only had a size 6s and size 14s, but luckily since it's only fitted at the waist i could wiggle into the 6. s'all good.

so much for saying goodbye to witchy fall vibes...

i can find a mere two official videos on youtube (juliette's dead isn't even on the album. you should seek said album out cos it's awesome) but there are unofficials a-plenty. as well as a version of 'laughing all the way to the plank' from the gig i saw them at this one time in york. exciting...
