its bad poetry day!!

I've been writing quite a lot of poetry at the moment.although I haven't been keen on sharing poetry recently, but I've decided to share this poem as i'm quite happy with it. About a week ago Me and my sister decided to take some photos as the weather was really nice I think they kinda match the aesthetic of the poem. Anyway here goes.... 
Her.

She could float 
I envied that. 
she wound herself up,
in colour, light and 
pretty dresses
hiding,masking, exposing
posing,glaring, gleaming
dancing her way through.  

I stood back, 
being a part. 
while she sang to the world 
 I enveloped myself 
in a safe mystery 
I did not want to share. 








just to clarify this poem is about no one in particular, its an accumulation of references to events and feelings, of envy, love and friendship 

I hope you enjoyxx

lots of love sophie

S-s-summertime, summertime sadness



I think summer may have started.
 The weather has been absolutely perfect for the last few days, (although it probably won't last) I have 4 exams left and then I have finished secondary school, FOREVER. 
It's quite tough at the moment with all the revision and bleugh and I haven't blogged for a while, sorry. But I promise I will blog regularly in the summer.
anyways I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and document a summer outfit, I am sorry about my face i'm awful at posing.. 

dropped waistline dress- Topshop, Kimono, dressing up box, 
Dr marten boots, socks- sock drawer miscellany 


This fedora is my absolute favourite accessory,
 its not only a pastel dream, it is big enough for my head ( I have a big head) 

some pretty awesome embroidery on my kimono 

bitch face, newly made flower crown 


a very attractive henna cat Sinead did,








lots of love and kittens

weather permitting fashion

I thought I should compile a summer wish-list of clothes I wish that I could own (or afford!) These clothes are also weather permitting as English weather is often erratic and down right mean and doesn't always allow you to wear shorts. 


1- I really really want a new shirt (as my last one got ripped on a gate:( )  This one in particular is from Topshop, but I'm sure you can find one just as good in the men's section of any charity shop. 

2-I need me some lolita style heart shaped sunglasses, because who wouldn't benefit from wearing the cutest shaped sunglasses in the world. These are from - asos 

3- kimonos are just flawless and I have a few in my dressing up box, so I will definitely utilise them this summer. This Kimono is also Topshop

4. I have lots of clunky brogues and boots and their just too hot for summer I need some sandals that are clunky but keep my feet cool, This pair of shoes from Topshop will do the trick  

5. This shorts are just lovely, they are from a brand called madewell a brand I have never heard of) they are quite expensive; so I might just embroider some shorts I already have 

6. I have always wanted a really floaty tulle skirt that I can swish around everywhere unfortunately I don't know where this skirt is from :( 

7. This awesome Frida kahlo t-shirt is from Forever 21, It has given me a great idea for a stencilling project!! 



I hope this has been helpfulxxx 

lots of love

,hmmm


At the moment it doesn't quite feel like summer or even spring, I feels like I should be wearing floaty dresses and shorts, but its really cold and just a little but miserable. Revision has been taking up a lot of my time but this half term break has allowed me to blog a little bit more, so I hope thats a good thing. 

I took a few photos, they kind of match my mood, which is good.

I've been listening to The Smiths pretty much constantly,
 I'm beginning to think, my parents think I have a problem
ochres and mustard colours have become my life 
unknown

anyway, be happy

make tea, not war


Last weekend I went to a pretty flawless camping trip/ wedding. The weather was great and everything was just lovely. 
On the Friday me, the family and other wedding guests went to a pub (which name has slipped my mind) I thought it would be a typical english pub with lots of wooden beams, and horrible curtains,but it had this insane 60's/70's decor that was a complete dream. 

too true 

My grandma actually has the same plates,
whenever I see them I am struck by how awesome and psychedelic they are 

                       

two examples of awesome wall paper 

Saturday was the actual wedding ceremony , it was held in the walled garden at Hartland Abbey, It was a very beautiful and I almost shed a tear, almost. 


After the ceremony we meet some adorable and friendly donkeys, that just stood there and let me and Emily stroke and pat them.  
The wedding car was beyond cool...

After the ceremony we went to this really pretty farmhouse place that had been decorated with probably about 1000m of bunting (heaven) 



at the start of the weekend all of the guests had to choose a mug, they were all really cool and vintage and it took me a long time to choose one! 
A really pretty outhouse that I think was a therapy room.




The wedding also included- a folk band playing an acoustic set outdoors, some delicious cakes, another really cool band that played a Tina Turner Melody and.... a really cool old guy playing the bagpipes. All in all a very good weakend!


lots of love

angsty teenager creations.





I've only just re-discovered my polyvore, and trawling through all the angstey sets that my 14-year-old self made is very interesting. Some of my creations are actually quite cool, so i thought I should document a few....
ignore the dubious titles.
if you want to check my polyvore out, here is a link 
;ATTENTION USERNAME WITH A DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE! 

OMG, ^ 

I actually did this yesterday
 to make sure I could still polyvore like a pro
subtle doctor who stuff was my thing 





If your brave enough and if spelling mistakes don't bother you, you should check my polyvore out -- (or not) 

lots of love

Sophie
