Coat & dress thrifted, bag camden market, shoes topshop.

Saturdays are for sure the best day of the week in my opinion. Today I went to Portobello Market but it was so cold that I did not stay long. Also it is always full of people it is quite annoying. So feeling cold plus bumping into people is not a very nice combination.

2012-02-10T17:20:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I see myself from a bird's view.. going higher until I see houses, states, earth, universe. Then I get scared of being where I am, upside down. I get scared and complex and nothing matters much, once I don't know much. So I close my eyes and I can feel my body sinking, it feels good, it is slightly similar to feeling drunk.. oh the power of the brain. It doesnt want to sleep, so the coffee I sip.

2012-02-08T16:54:00.000-08:00

I want to drive that car,(it could be red tho) write and eat cigarette candies and nothing else.

2012-02-05T09:13:00.000-08:00

I find Sundays extremely boring, no matter what I do. Perhaps due to the unpleasantness it brings to my stomach when I think of Monday. I have been writing these days, writing anything. I have been writing back to my pen pals as well. Hopefully I will manage to send the letters back this week. Well at this time there's nothing more I can do besides watch a film and drink Amarula. x

2012-02-04T15:37:00.000-08:00

That is when I put on a wig and act in front of my mirror pretending to be somebody else.

Hi, so there I was kinda of bored drinking red wine. When I decided to search my name on google. I found a lot of pictures of mine and I found this blog http://steffanypublicdiary.piczo.com/ and I wanted to post here that.. THAT IS NOT MY BLOG , I don't blog at PICZO it is someone else, simply reposting things from here there. I actually believe that most people that like this blog http://steffanypublicdiary.piczo.com/ have no idea that it is not actually mine.. this is starting to sound very confusing. However I wanted to let you readers know. yeah! ( Im still quite surprised how people waste time, reposting my stuffff hahah) geez

i am not the one you want babe, i am not the one you need

2012-01-24T06:11:00.000-08:00

butttttt it aint me babe , no no no aint me you're looking for babeee;. Actually I wanted to write more in this blog, but always feel lazy. Right now I should be getting ready to go out, but I feel really discouraged due to the weather and my cat is lying on my legs, my room is a mess and I had candies. What the hell am I typing , this is so useless. -------------------------------back to my Johnny cash track.

2012-01-20T10:46:00.000-08:00

Richmond Park what a beautiful place and for my benefit it is only ten minutes away from my house. My new year resolution, perhaps the only one I strongly feel the urge to make it happen is , buy myself a nice vintage bicycle to ride around Richmond Park. The day I took these photos was so bloody cold, it was annoying cold. At some point I just told my friend to quit the pictures and said 'lets get out of this place'. I could not even pose properly, fortunately I wasn't the one holding the camera this time ( Oh this sounds mean). However it was nice to walk around it.

This nice dress I'm wearing is from unitedstyles. I don't think the pictures shows it much, due to the cold weather taking pictures without my coat was a torture. I bet I will wear it a lot this summer though. The cool thing about it is that I somehow designed it myself, take a look at the website. You can like design a dress yourself. Oh and if you do design and get one, please show me.. I would like to see what preferences people have when choosing things and stuff haha! 0.o

2012-01-14T14:30:00.000-08:00

Got a nice second hand coat for six pounds and highwaisted pants. Drank cola and listened to the Andrew Sisters. Now I really should be writing essays but I am going to watch the rite instead, terror for Friday 13th even though today is already Sunday.

2012-01-11T12:45:00.000-08:00

Oh I've been lazying around in my room, reading books. When waken up with sunshine reflecting from my window my mood was the greatest and I'd have breakfast and take pictures whilst listening to my new The Sixties Cd collection. Unfortunately as everything comes to an end, my days off is one of the things. The week went by so fast like a wink.

2012-01-04T07:38:00.000-08:00

Dear Readers,

I wont be posting for a period of time, if its short or long I am not sure. The only thing I know is that Iam bit tired of this blog. Therefore I have decided that one of my new year resolutions is to give this blog a break, give myself a break. Not that this is a work for me. I do it because I like but I haven't been enjoying very much lately. I guess this is not the first time I am doing this. However this time I feel very discouraged to keep up posting. I will be back when I feel like it. It might take months or perhaps only a week. Let's see.

With Love

A peek inside Hampton Court Palace

2012-01-02T14:01:00.000-08:00

So many pictures but I loved every single room in the Palace so it was unfair to pick only a few. Stepping into the rooms and gardens was like being alive in medieval times. From Henry VIII's Kitchens to The Great Hall everything is magical. I think I did not manage to visit everything. I didn't get to the maze, although I find it nice my only interest would be taking a picture of its view from above which is impossible, so I don't regret not seeing it. Therefore I recommend you to visit it. I wanted to be one of Henry's wives and spend my life wondering around such splendid palace wearing beautiful dresses and going to the chapel.

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas even though its already gone & Happy New Year.

Some hats, some song..

loads of photographs

2011-12-21T17:07:00.000-08:00

It's the second time I accidentally unplugged my earphones from the laptop with my elbow. WTH, I'm here lying in my bed staring at the windows and thinking. Thinking is all I do once I can't get asleep. So I have been thinking about how I wish it was summer and I could be riding a beautiful vintage bicycle wearing sailors shirt,or running in a field full of daisies, and a song would be playing while I was running. Like in the movies, it adds beauty and gives great sensation. It's like when you listen to your earphones, but the difference is that only you'd be thinking life is beautiful, people around might even get annoyed of the buzzing from the earphones, or maybe try to hear to which song your are listening to (I do that very often). Most of the time it sounds like electronic music than I wonder if everybody only listen to electro songs. I like to create a mood, for instance when its cloudy and grey and raining I put on some depressing soul songs. When it's sunny I go for 50s songs and when I don't like people I listen to The Beer by Kimya Dawson, don't ask me why. The other day I was in the bus, and this guy standing next to me with his headphones on, kept staring at me - I guess he was flirting. I rapidly looked at him them I turned my face towards the window and jumped to the next track on my iPod which was These Days by Nico but then I decided to press pause and try to listen to the sound coming from his headphones, it was hard to define but then the sentence 'because I got high la da da da da da da da da' sounded clearly. Then I sipped my coffee and pressed play again.

2011-12-20T14:18:00.000-08:00

When I feel like taking pictures the sunlight vanishes, it is been like that during the past few weeks, these are some pictures I managed to take before the monochrome sky ruined my intention of photographing. Besides cloudy days, the cold is unbearable but fortunately I have purchased a nice second hand faux coat and comfy gray sweater. But I still feel cold and will always feel (when outside, in winter)

Today I got up late, listening to voices from the kitchen. I watched TV and chatted with my parents. Then I dressed up and went to a get together. I had fun. Although I don't think I find things fun or funny anymore. The party was okay though. But there were kids and they wanted to play downstairs in the garden. Then a woman gently asked me if I could a watch the kids for a second. I wanted to say no but I said yes. The kids were running and asking me to play with them. I did and helped them climb trees. I am not that into kids. But then one of the kids called me Miss and I felt old, like I could be their teacher or something, I don't know, but the kids were nice. Some of them. Overall it was a good day at least I ate a nice apple pie and carrot cake. Now I plan to take care of my unfinished work .

I need a good night of sleep and coffee with cream for when I wake up.

And I love you, standing all alone in a black coat

2011-12-11T10:26:00.000-08:00

Dress from Primark, coat from Second Look, Glasses www.proopticals.com
Now the bag is from Camden market and it is so lovely, it costs 15 pounds and they can write your name or whatever text you wanna on it, for free. I will add some close ups of it in another post soon. This is basically what I wore today, it was so cold but at least it wasn't very windy as last week. x

cant be bothered

2011-12-07T07:55:00.000-08:00

Pictures & pictures and chocolate sticks and floral dress and sunny day. ( so windy though, I really hate wind; so cold, you get running nose, chapped lips, it mess the hair and skirts flies up. oohh.

I want to use the typewriter but it makes such a noise in this empty room.

2011-12-06T17:49:00.000-08:00

I can't believe it is 03:12 in the morning and I am still up. I was typing some letters. But the typewriter noise is not so good in this quiet night. So I stopped it, I might go to bed as I gotta wake up early tomorrow. Although I've got the day off tomorrow, I want to get up early to enjoy it with my sister as she is leaving tomorrow evening and will be back only by the end of January. So tomorrow is picture day, I plan to take outfit pictures, it is been while since I last took some, the weather outside simply discourages me, cloudy and no sunshine, saying hello to seasonal depression.

The glasses, oh I how I love these glasses, cat lover, it is from http://www.proopticals.com . It is worth checking the website, there are so many more nice styles and a variety of colours. I'm actually short sighted, and when I put my glasses on everybody looks ugly to me. I wonder why, ( I also look ugly when I see myself in the mirror, well actually without too haha). Anyway I will go to sleep now, the few hours Ive got left tonight. Good Night x

2011-12-05T14:22:00.000-08:00

I have to say that when it comes to make up. I suck at it. Especially applying the eye liner, as you can see in these pictures haha! Well I have to practice and practice, but I bet I will never manage to get it the way want it. These are the make up products I use. My lashes looks kinda of dry, that is because I had old mascara on them. I'm really relapse so sometimes I can't be bothered to remove make up before going to bed, which is a bad thing. My lashes are a bit naturally long, but I think I can live without mascara and at the moment my favourite is Bourjois Volumizer Mascara 2 Steps.

Dancing in my room to the 50s songs, my lovely pop hits collection. I drank soda pop and bought cigarette candy today. Now I've got delicious coffee and raspberry & coconut cake to savour. xx

2011-12-01T16:53:00.000-08:00

Hi, I'm a bit glad to know some of you share the same thoughts. So, it is Christmas and it's happy time, right. Therefore I will fake positivism, ha no, actually I'm cool today. I had a quite normal day, a day that I probably won't remember later on. But it wasn't so bad. And tomorrow is Friday, and weekend means ' GREATNESS'. Except for Sundays, Sundays are depressing and boring. Oh by the way, someone asked me how I keep my skin looking good, so the last picture is a proof of how bad it is, three spots. It is not a recent picture though. I should drink more water, but I forget to do so, mainly because I don't feel thirsty which is weird. Also these pictures aren't recent I just had them here. I've got to get a roll of film developed soon. But I also have some digital pictures I took these past weeks.

2011-11-29T14:16:00.000-08:00

You know what, well let me tell you up front that I will be pretty negative in this post and that is because I feel like writing what I feel at the moment. I feel really tired, I feel tired of saying the word 'tired'. I don't know, I get this bad feeling about days, and life. Sometimes I don't even know how to explain it properly. I get tired of this blog, and of myself and people and I don't know what to do. I don't longer know what I really like, or how I want my life to be. And the worst thing, I get annoyed by positive people that generally says 'oh, stop complaining life is great, you gotta go for what you want and be happy'. Oh screw that, if I sound dramatic or depressing I don't longer care, at least not today not at this very second. I might walk into the kitchen to eat a toast and all of the sudden I will feel inspired and bloody happy. Of course this is very unlikely to happen. But who knows! I'm just tired of feeling tired and not physically. But in the other hand I'm okay emotionally. So I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. I wish I was normal. I wish I wouldn't think too much about life.. and I wish I would care a little less or perhaps I should care a little more. Sometimes I wish I could change my name, move out of the city and dye my hair black with bangs, and act totally different.I might do it someday or maybe not. In the mean time I'll be myself.

I don’t care about anyone, and the feeling is quite obviously mutual.

2011-11-28T02:54:00.000-08:00

I have been so lazy to carry my camera out, and take outfit pictures or even portraits, so I have been photographing this kinda of things. I know it is a bit repetitive. But that is all I've got to show you ha! By the way that cute vintage lipstick is from Boots. So I'm dressed, perhaps not really prepared to face the cold outside. Soon I gotta go get the train to go to university,I might get a coffee, read my book and listen to music, and this song is part of my soundtrack along with Elvis, The Everly Brothers, Frankie Lymon and Connie Francisssss.

If you gotta go, go now..

24th of November 2011.

When the sun don't shine.

2011-11-23T15:59:00.000-08:00

I stare at the cloudy sky.

I feel tired, it seems that doesn't matter how early I wake up, time won't be enough. It goes by so bloody fast and it makes me tired. I tell you something city life is not good as it seems, especially when are getting older and have no much enthusiasm. Oh I know I am not old at all. However, I'm really enthusiastic to lay down on bed. x

Retrospective volume one

2011-11-20T16:37:00.001-08:00

Hello there. So I have found some old photographs from my old blog which I got it deleted and I decided to post them in this blog. Summer 2008/2009

Black & white snaps

2011-11-19T10:35:00.000-08:00

Between stations and bus stops, waiting waiting.
I wait for the train, I wait slow walkers.
Alight, doors closing. It is so tiresome, well I won't even mention traffic.
Public Transportation; the main cause of my stress - I should wake up much EARLIER.

take me to a farm, with starry sky and let's swim every night

Let's try to live this temporary life we have.

2011-11-15T17:36:00.000-08:00

Good night, late night once again I can't obey to my own rules. One more day goes by to never come back, at least I registered it with these photographs. Today was a cold day I spent in this gray city, reading books all over and being scared of dogs. Parks = dogs = me being afraid of them running. Even the dogs don't give a damn about me, all they wanna do is run to get the log, wont even bother to bite.

a room post

2011-11-13T05:47:00.000-08:00

<

As I have promised here it is, a room post. Although I think this post has too many pictures my whole room is not fully shown. Just wanted to show you a bit of it, plus I still need to decorate it a bit more. I've got a list of things I need to get, but as I am a poor person I need to wait a bit to get them all. This Audrey Hepburn book is my new lover, it's such a great source of inspiration and great for copying her beautiful eye make up, but I find it quite hard to apply the eye liner, honestly I wish I was professional about it, doesn't matter how many times I try, I can't never manage to get it even. I'll keep practicing it though. Are you any good at applying eye liner?

2011-11-11T15:04:00.000-08:00

I have 1111 followers on this blog and today is 11/11/11. ha I don`t know I just wanted to register this. Now I`m off to watch James Dean a rebel without a cause.

2011-11-10T12:38:00.000-08:00

Answering some questions.

Fireworks, milk and Justin Bieber

2011-11-09T11:43:00.000-08:00

The title resumes the photos. I've been wearing boots, drinking milk, gazing at fireworks, cause it was fireworks day you know. I think it's nice, but when I was younger I was really scared by its noise and I always thought the sparkles would fall on me and burn me. I got over it. The last picture was taken in Westfield shopping centre, at the day Justin Bieber launched something I can't recall. Anyway it was quite packed with girls as you can imagine. And it was absolutely pleasant funny thing to observe. I didn't see Bieber, because they've put curtains around the stage and only people who arrived earlier got to actually see him. But the best thing was seeing girls crying over him and screaming. Gosh! I guess it is quite bizarre, adoring so much another human being, and I personally don't understand why certain fans cry when they see their idols, come on what is wrong with you? haha, but I think they shouldn't quit doing it, because it's such a fun thing to watch. It entertains me. Shame! but they might regret doing such things later (I hope), you always feel ashamed of something you did in the past.

wake up little suzie, wake up

2011-11-07T16:25:00.000-08:00

Mellody and I pretending to do a serious photo-shoot. ha!

I guess I am in love with autumn

2011-11-07T11:01:00.000-08:00

The streets are looking beautiful, despite the cold autumn is definitely the best season. This is what I wore today. Such a comfy outfit, the coat, bag and hat is from primark, boots from topshop. It is been very windy, so in order to wear the hat without worrying it'd be blown away and I would have to run after it to get. It actually happened to me once, and it was such a funny scene. Anyway this time I used a lace and some pins to get it fixed, making a bow around my neck. You can slightly see it in the third picture. It also look a bit vintage.

a little weird

2011-11-04T11:00:00.001-07:00

Today

I drank strawberry smoothie
Listened to Brigitte Bardot lying on the floor
Sang out loud in empty train couches
Cuddled my beloved cat and brushed my hair

Pretending we are tourists

2011-11-02T18:42:00.000-07:00

Pictures from a sunny day in London, I should actually pretend I'm a tourist more often and explore the city.

monday morning wake up knowing that you gotta go to school

2011-11-01T05:08:00.000-07:00

Hi there, I forgot to mention here on the blog that my birthday was on the 28th of October, but I wanted to thank for all lovely birthday wishes some left me on Facebook. These pictures are recent I took them in the new flat. Today it's uni day off so I'll probably spend the day watching films, I somehow feel like watching Amélie once again, Oh I forgot to post the film stills I promised to post, but just to let you know the two films I have seen are Sense & Sensibility and Elvis & Annabelle. And I'm glad to see you guys like the music list, xx

Happy Halloween

2011-10-31T12:54:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween, I'm going to eat chocolates, and watch a horror film!
The first picture 'umbrella in doors' is from a superstition project I once did.

2011-10-27T10:52:00.000-07:00

This is a list of my current favourite songs, or maybe my favourite songs at all times. So I'm on the move, I'll be moving to southwest London and I'm quite happy about it. Although I should be packing by now. I feel so much like bloggin, plus I won't have internet access for a couple of days which will make me miss my poor little blog. I'm gonna go packing now, but I will probably blog once more today ha.

my mom would say i hope someday you get paid for being kimya dawson

2011-10-25T08:00:00.000-07:00

I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide

Couleur Café

2011-10-24T16:16:00.000-07:00

Hello, This hat is from H&M. I'm obsessed with hats I guess I once wrote I would show you guys my hat collection. Yeah I forgot to do that. I've been thinking about adding a FAQ here on the blog, because I feel a bit tired of answering the question 'what camera do you use'. Perhaps I sound mean, I'm sorry I don't blame you, ask it how many times you want. No, well I'll do the FAQ, so I wanted to know if are there any questions you would suggest adding to it. I'd be happy you if you let me know. I'll eat pancakes with strawberry jam now. Good Night.

2011-10-23T18:03:00.000-07:00

I don't know if I like having two consecutive outfit posts. Anyway this is what I wore today and as tomorrow I have to go to uni :/. I decided to post it today. Well actually now is tomorrow. It is 02:16 so I got to go to uni today. I should be sleeping . That is what I'm gonna do. Before I go just let me tell you what I wore, in case you ask. The poncho is from Primark, shoes I can't recall, hat from h&m, bag thrifted and blouse from romwe. xx

Piece me back together

2011-10-22T10:34:00.000-07:00

Good night. My computer just broke so I haven't been much excited to use the other laptop I have. But as I took these photographs I thought I should post them. This is totally a Primark look ha. I've been in love with green so I don't have to mention how much I love my new coat. So apart from the hat which is from TK Max the rest is from Primark. Now I'm ready to watch a movie for the second time. I'll post the film stills later for you to see. In the mean time here is a song for you <3 Melodica,Melody and me. Current favourite song :)

2011-10-18T14:02:00.000-07:00

These are a couple of photos from my trip to Exeter. I think I can't even call it a trip once I stayed only one day there and did not have much time to tour around. I simply walked around the city centre which was crowded with teenagers and musicians playing great music. I spend the few hours I had going to Starbucks and charity shops. I bought myself a glass vase and popped into Marks & Spencer to get food to eat in the coach which included a plastic glass of red wine. Although I didn't do much it was nice to get to know the town a bit and enjoyed the stay in the most lovely hotel. Which would be great for vintage pictures, if I had a proper camera.

hello do you remember me, I am your long lost pen pal.

2011-10-14T09:42:00.000-07:00

Dear lovely pen pals. So I have received your letters and it is so amazingly nice.
I've written reply letters that I'll be sending it to you tomorrow. Letters from Amanda, Myrte the postcard from Lydia. Remember if you want to be a pen pal just send me a email at stefanyalves@live.com

Inspiration

2011-10-13T02:07:00.000-07:00

I guess I have never posted anything that inspires me, apart from films of course. So I thought I would post little things that are currently inspiring me, or things that I must add to my 'things I must get' list. Therefore here is my top 5 list.

1st. A Melodica, I don't if it is a hard instrument to play, I think it isn't. And simply love the way it looks and sounds. I would like a yellow or blue one.

2sc. I adore this ukulele, such a lovely shape. I've got an obsession for ukuleles, so I would like to have a red one as well. To be honest I wouldn't mind having a whole collection of them.

3th. Such a pretty instrument, oh I really want it. I wish I could play it as well.
Although I'm not a Taylor Swift fan. I kinda like her 'Mean' song and the banjo she plays.

4th. I would drink this at this very moment, without the fork & knife though.

5th. I love frames. I've recently started collecting and I'm in a hunt for oval ones. I guess they are bit more hard to find. But they are the loveliest in my opinion.

2011-10-12T18:57:00.000-07:00

I can't stand my insomnia, I'm fed up of it. Every day is the same thing. I stare at the computer because I can't get asleep. I also drink coffee and I always thought that it wouldn't keep me awake, that it wouldn't affect me. But I'm starting to realize it might be one of the reasons why I cant sleep. Anyway, I'll keep up drinking it. Sorry if my text sounds repetitive, I got the feeling that I am always talking about lack of sleep and coffee, I get really bored of the things I say. Perhaps I should also be sorry for not being one those bloggers who can write long text beautifully explaining their choices for a certain outfit. I guess one of the reasons why I was never good on writing essays is simply because I go straight to the point. I'll try to be interesting and write more on my posts. As I write this I already feel like I'll neglect. Anyway I hope you appreciate the pictures cause the text content sucks, okay I shouldn't have written this I just did because I want this post text to be long.It's late I'll force myself to sleep, (counting sheep doesn't work, who the hell invented this). Good night to you all xoxo

remember last summer when we had the chance to find each other starting making romance

jacket from primark, pants romwe, shoes thrifted, glasses camden market

I never know if I should stick to vintage or wear something a bit like this. I struggle between both styles simply because I like both. So the only solution I find is to dress according to the mood of the day. And today I felt like wearing something like this. What do you think? x

Escalators

2011-10-11T18:24:00.000-07:00

I fear elevators but I kinda like escalators and I think they are both two cool words to speak, I will be pronouncing 'escalators and elevators' when I feel bored. I also like the word 'pancake' not only the word of course. I don't know why but I have been thinking about my favourite words and I think I like the word 'ORGANIC'. Do you have a favourite word? I hate the world , I mean word. I hate the word world, and the word word. Sorry I just got confused. I'm going to sleep now, good night to myself! and to you. zx

take advantage of the season to take off your overcoat.

Good bye summer. It has been pretty windy these days. I also read on the newspaper this year winter will be one of the coldest. The problem about winter is not only the cold, is the lack of sunlight which leads to 'no pictures'. especially analogue ones. I somehow only enjoy photographing when it is sunny. So I just wish for a bit of sunlight this winter. Otherwise it will be days of seasonal depression. x

PEEK

2011-10-08T17:47:00.000-07:00

Hi, this is what I wore today, this lovely shirt from ROMWE, jacket from primark and skinny jeans. It seems like I should start getting my winter clothes. Today was pretty cold and I can't wait to wear scarves. Which by the way I'm in need of one. Sorry about the pictures, they are not good, I barely had time to take these, but I'm planning on taking more this week. xx

take another picture with your click click click camera

2011-10-04T17:41:00.000-07:00

I had the worst day ever, when things start wrong it will only get worse. It's murphy's law. The only good part of my day was when I had three doughnuts. And no I don't regret having a huge amount of sugar in my body, at least not atm. I will surely reduce the amount of sugar I put in my coffee though, people always stare at me when I ask for six sachets. Actually I've been asking for only five, lately.

My summer photographs

2011-10-03T16:29:00.000-07:00

Hi there I know I haven't been writing a lot on my posts. I hope you understand I was not in the mood. I couldn't get things off my brain to the keyboard. Anyway these are some photographs I took during summer time. I have so many many pictures so I thought I'd better start posting them up.

I'll miss summer!

I think the world's nicest little calendar arrived in my mail box today. That's why I am sharing these images with you guys and I want to thank http://ulicam.blogspot.com/ for it. I love your handwriting. I know my address is visible on the second picture, but please don't use it, unless you want to send me letters and lovely gifts, I would accept it haha. If you want to be a pen pal, send me a email at stefanyalves@live.com. It can be strangely fun. xoxo

For your birthday she sent you a card she didn't sign her name she gave an autograph

Happy birthday to Mellody

Today is my sister's birthday and it seems like it is also a day devoted to eating. It is what we have done the whole day (not literally of course). I made her 'English breakfast' (kinda of, I wish there was toast). Then after great fun around the town, we went for a picnic in Hampstead Heath Park, including tuna sandwich, garden salad, chips and delicious macaroons accompanied by a cup of latte. It is funny how I have been into eating these days, a few months ago I couldn't think of any food that would rise my appetite.

You're the one pretending to be licking stamps all alone in a room following lines on maps

2011-09-27T05:08:00.000-07:00

I started my day listening to Camera Obscura while having breakfast. Did some sketching and sew a dress. I also had an eye test today. And yeah I've got short sight. I might get my glasses this week. I don't know if I like the idea of having to wear glasses. Anyway ain't no big deal. Now I'll get myself an iced cola glass and keep on drawing. By the way I promise to do a photo editing tutorial soon. xx

overdosing with you

2011-09-25T15:58:00.000-07:00

I've just returned home from Exeter, I took a few pictures but they are not really good. I will edit them before posting, perhaps they get to look a bit better. Sorry my blog has been boring lately. I guess bloggin gets tiresome sometimes. Even though I can blog either I want to or not but I think it became a habit. I'll quit this habit for a while haha. Good night,,,,,,,,I need an eye test, maybe I'll need glasses. :(

I don't love anyone, but you are not listening.

2011-09-22T17:35:00.000-07:00

I annoy myself sometimes, like my mind gets so messed up that I have to do lists for everything. I somehow think it will get me organized. Therefore I am doing one for tomorrow and I hate how I start it by obvious things such as ' Wake up at 7:00am, get up at 8:00am then have breakfast'. I thought about adding 'brush my teeth, dress up', but it is too much details. Anyway tomorrow I'm leaving this town and I ain't coming back. I am actually. Btw the second picture is a book by Stephen Shore that once got from my college library and had to pay five pounds fine, because I always forget to hand books back at the required date. It is a really nice book though.

What is in my bag today,

2011-09-20T09:11:00.000-07:00

I was only going to post the first picture of 'what is in my bag'. But then I decided to add these. In my bag today I had my diary from camden market, sunglasses from camden market as well, camera coin purse from H&M, blackberry and a film roll to get developed. Do you have a 'inside my bag' post? If so I would love to see it. Send me links :) xx

the blues are still blue.

2011-09-18T12:48:00.000-07:00

Good night! This is the coat I mentioned on the last post. I pretty much love it and my wish came true, today was a bit cold and rainy ha. Therefore I could wear it and drink my cup of coffee on my favourite spot in Hampstead Heath. Besides enjoying the weather ( at least for while, because I know I will hate the freezing weather as soon as it gets colder and I won't be able to wear only one coat, but so many layers of clothing, which will make me look fluffy) Anyway my inspiration these days has increased so I've been feeling excited to take pictures. I hope this enthusiasm lasts.

Suede Jacket - thrifted, backpack - romwe, shoes and hat from h&m

It already looks like winter and I surprisingly like it. Rainy day, lovely coats and cups of coffee. I cant wait for winter clothes. I bought myself a coat from H&M today. Therefore I've got my fingers crossed for cold days.

strawberry yogurt, croissant and pumpkin heart.

2011-09-15T10:39:00.000-07:00

I'm starving and I just realized that the reason why my stomach has been making noises is because I had no lunch today. I forgot to eat. How can that possibly happen?.Therefore I feel really excited to cook dinner tonight. I just don't know what's for the menu. What did you eat today?

Welcome to my wardrobe

2011-09-14T11:21:00.001-07:00

On my visit to Kew Gardens I bought a Roots Sack, because when I first set my eyes on it. I thought I could turn it into a bag. So when I got home I cut a bit of the sack and made the straps. Once I applied my mother crocheted the edges.Hopefully I'll be getting a sewing machine, perhaps an overlock too. Then I could do so many more things and finally get the clothes I want.

Things are way too complicated

Ready for Winter

2011-09-12T13:59:00.000-07:00

I totally splurge on coats, I love buying coats, bags, hats and coffee. These are the things I don't mind spending my money on. Sometimes I think I should stop buying bags and get some new shoes. But oh well, I can't help myself. What do you splurge on?

2011-09-11T13:17:00.000-07:00

I've got more pictures of this outfit, but I feel a bit lazy to post them now. So I will do it later. I could actually wait and post them all instead of posting only this one. But I don't want to do that and I don't even know why. I just arrived from Milton Keynes. I spent my weekend there. I tried to go clubbing but as I did not have my ID with me. I couldn't get into any club. That's because I look like a 15 year-old girl. It would be good if I was actually 15, then I would be happy. But I am 19, I have to be responsible and take care of my life but when it comes to have fun I can't because people never believe I am nineteen. It sucks.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Project

2011-09-08T17:55:00.000-07:00

Isn't she inspiring? I've seen Breakfast at Tiffany's last week and I just admire her style every time I watch it. Therefore my sister and I had the idea of dressing up as Holly and go at Tiffanys early in the morning. Of course we might stop to grab a coffee and croissant before we take pictures.

2011-09-08T17:03:00.000-07:00

Do you guys remember when I once asked what would you wear for a wedding party? Well this is what I wore. It's been a month or so and I thought I could post the pictures. I opted for something casual and simple and that I would feel comfortable wearing. The dress is one shoulder and I got it from Oxfam.

From Portobello.

2011-09-01T11:47:00.000-07:00

A few things I purchased today. The little picture frame is from Camden market, the rest is from a Oxfam except the old photograph of a boy which I found somewhere in my father's things. I even found a box full of my moms and dad old photographs. I love spending time looking at them. It inspires me a lot. Especially because most of them were taken in the 60's and in my opinion in terms of fashion and music it was a great era (the 50's too). I also got that high waisted jeans which I was looking for quite while. I might have to make some adjustments to it though. The dress I'm wearing today was hanging in my wardrobe and it has been there for a long time. I can't even recall where it is from. However it is now my most wearable piece this summer.

you wouldn't put your pen to bed when we hadn't found our own our own

I'm by myself downstairs watching Children of the corn. It makes me keep looking at the dark side of the living room. I'll stop doing so. It scares me a little ha! Today I went to Hammersmith to get something done, when I go out by myself I can't walk in the streets without listening to music, it is like life is strange. But today I had to face strange life,because the battery of my iPod was dead after a half hour I left my house. I felt really sad. To make me happy a bit I bought myself original glazed donuts and latte from Krispy Kreme. Then I got into the bus, accidentally tripped over a woman, who perhaps did not find my 'sorry' acceptable and asked me if I was desperate. That's why I don't like buses, because it unites MEAN people. I got home later and did some sketches.

2011-08-29T18:08:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I tried many clothes on just trying to set up outfits and perhaps get a bit inspiration from it. I don't really know if I like them. Do you like any of these, if so which is your favourite?

Stop and stare.

2011-08-29T06:23:00.000-07:00

There I was sitting on the tube, packed of people. Fortunately I was sitting really comfortably but with nothing to do, no music, no books to read. My only option was either sleep or try to look out of the window behind a guy who was sitting towards me. I was really trying to stare at the widonw behind him, but most of the time his face was on the way. That was when I started feeling embarassed once he kept staring at me, So I started looking at people's feet, I was even getting tired of looking down. Then I remembered I had my analogue camera with me. There it was my salvation, entertain myself unloading the film. Little did I know it wasn't fully unloaded when I opened the back of the camera to check it. Disappointment, disappointment. Why am I so fool. What I learnt from this experience is that I will always stare at people on the tube or I shall never unload my film while I am in the train. These pictures I took on my way back to London. I spent the weekend in Milton Keynes. Did you guys see the rainbow yesterday? that is if you live in London :) x

America and London.

topshop shorts, shoes and top from h&m.

Hi, This weekend I went to Milton Keynes and I got stuck inside a elevator with seven people for ten minutes or more. It seemed like an eternity but it probably wasnt. Three people there including me almost died of a heart attack, you might think it is to much drama. I just closed my eyes and tried to avoid the thoughts I was having ih that moment, but it did not help, my sister was crying actually i was crying to, between prayers and claustrophobia and even fights haha, we got off alive (ofc). But in a way it was a good, because if I had any doubt of how i am afraid of lifts,now I am completly sure, I rather climb the stairs.

2011-08-23T17:26:00.000-07:00

I was feeling inspired to make a vlog today, but then out of the blue I started feeling asleep. So I decided to do not do it and go to sleep instead. In the end, I didn't actually sleep neither made the vlog. Plus my sister wasn't here and I dont know if it would be normal talking to my camera alone in my room. It is a bit depressing if you analyse it. I talk to myself when I am on my own because I'm the only one I have to talk with, when I am alone 0.o - Right, I've added my last.fm link on the sidebar, add me if you want. I somehow don't feel good having all of those links. I might eliminate one them. Maybe twitter, once I rarely twitt and I bet nobody reads what I write and to be honest I don't recommend you to; it is nothing interesting anyway.

Je déteste les couples, je les hais tout court.

2011-08-22T18:23:00.000-07:00

This is what I wore today, I'm trying to remember where this dress is from. Anyway I won't remember it now.
I took these pictures in Kew Gardens. I've got a bunch more. I'll post it later. Now I shall go to sleep. Good night!

2011-08-21T17:21:00.000-07:00

God Natt, haha everytime I go to Ikea I think of swedish. The weird thing is that I don't even speak swedish. I just know a couple of words, very few to be honest. I guess I have some swedish readers. I do remember having one at least. (Hej reader). Okay I will stop before I get tacky. So today I went to Ikea and to a park, it wasnt a really exciting day as I thought it would be. I planned to go to Kew Gardens but I didnt. I might go tomorrow morning though. Did you have an exciting day?

A really sunny day;

2011-08-21T07:12:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I decided to get out of the 'vintage' zone. And wear something a little bit more rock-n-roll like. To be honest I don't actually know what kinda of style this is. If you do, name it and let me know. The thing is, it has been a very long time since I last visited H&M. Purely because I got tired of it, but this week I took a peek at Westfiled and found simple items that I could try to combine. I'm a fan of hats, beanies. Perhaps because I have many 'bad-hair' days. I will even make a post about my hat collection ha!

Jeans thrifted, shirt+shoes+beanie from h&m.

2011-08-17T18:21:00.000-07:00

I think these are the worst photographs I have ever taken. It tells me that I really need a light meter or a new camera. Taken with a vivitar v3000

2011-08-17T17:52:00.000-07:00

Today I got up with the urge to cook pancakes for breakfast. I thought it was something easy that everyone could do. I happily started, everything went fine except when I had to flip the pancakes. They did not look really good, at least it tasted good. I guess I will Google ' How to flip pancakes'. But hey of course I choose the best looking pancake to photograph and to eat.

This is a video I did on Saturday. I and my sister Mellody, the video is not suppose to be funny or interesting. Mel just wanted to test her camera. You can hear how bad my voice sounds. Anyway I'm scanning pictures right now. Bye

2011-08-16T10:25:00.000-07:00

Although today I got up pretty late and feeling really lazy. I somehow felt inspired to dress up and select a few outfits for the week. I took a few pictures of some of them. And this is the first one. I will be posting the other ones later. They are all simple and casual. You can hype it on Lookbook if you want. Have a good day x

2011-08-13T17:18:00.000-07:00

Spent the day listening to my 50's and 60's Cd collection. Went to get a roll of film developed. I also went to the supermarket to get food for my cats. I was hospitable to some guests. I had cheeseburguer and milkshake and have been wondering what I am going to do with my life. (I also made this video today and it has exactly 1:00m).

super mario and carrot cake is all I need atm
