Knitted jumpers, snow & more reference to nerds...

Hello/Happy Christmas! Sorry I haven't been here since the 4th, well I have been here but unmanageably busy (plus Miranda's been on) Basically, this is what I've been doing- and it froze my feet untill it felt like blood circulation was impossible...






There really is something lovely about knitted jumpers- somehow, in my head, anybody wearing one becomes instantly attractive, fashionable and trustworthy. Maybe that's just because I'm perculiar and have an inkling for nerds, but look at these...



To be fair- there are other contributing factors as to why I fancy Kurt Cobain and Noel Fielding, besides the knitted jumpers. Anyway, these next photos were taken on the journey back from those clothing coated trees, encase any of you were wondering how that went for me...


There's my mum (just to reassure you- the car wasn't moving at the point)

And finally, here is some more nice knitwear and, not just my inspiration for the first lot of photos (I have more but they're on the school computers), but my general hero and inspiration in life, photo's, ideas, whatever... Tim Walker.




^Sadly, not mine


Trying not to sound cheesy, but I hope whoever you lot are that read these rambles and look at these things had a magical Christmas and have a lovely 2011

Cycling In The Rain

I'm eating cheerios [they are amazing], looking at old photos of Christams and listening to the Foo Fighters album 'In Your Honour' *Lyric Of The Day: "Dancing on the bones of my dirty past" ..that combination makes me feel rather happy- plus Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins are gorgeous!



Anyway, moving on from that ridiculousness to Nick Grimshaw- I absolutetly adore him, I think he's a complete love, not to mention his wonderfull accent and his friendship with Henry Holland
[Whom I fancy the pants off, even though I know he's gay]



Anyway, whilst listening to Grimmy's excellent interiew with the Klaxons (oioi) I decided to do a bit of Google Image stalking and came across an adorable photo of him riding a woman's vintage bike. I know he may not look his very, very best but how fantastic are his boots and wicker basket!?,,,



So partialy inspired by that beauty, but mainly because I quite fancied an AC/DC album, I decided to cycle to my local library, also in a black and white stripy top-cause I'm so rock n roll- really it's cause 1 CD's only like 98p and three are £1.50- bargain! And I think my lovely bicycle needs more public airing, I do allways feel like I should be transporting ET in the basket though...



So I was happily cycling along by the sea in a retro Damon Albarn style jacket and sparkly shoes, when it started to rain. It got heavier and heavier then pretty soon I realised I was practically stuck in a torrential downpour, not good. I arrived at the calm and quiet library, after having to shamefully push my bike up a very lighty steep 'ramp' in a cocophony of drenched, flustered, fustrated and quite frankly, embarrased mess then having to discretely check my homeless dog type reflection, in the back of a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD for dribbled mascara. Deary me. I decided to stay to try and dry off and wait for the rain to stop- it didn't. So I looked at the September Issue of Vogue, glanced at Q magazine and read an old Nirvana interview. It turned out to be rather enjoyable because there was a cute old lady sheltering from the 'monsoon' who kept giggling at a 'Things That Grumpy Old Men Do' book... and I think I fancy Kate Moss.



After years of hating her I've decided she's amazing at her job, allthough her mouth is allways slightly open, it is a good pose, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a bad photo of her and she's able to make girls want to wear the clothes she does- when she does decide to get dressed- and I can't not mention her spectacular taste in men- Pete Doherty and Johnny Depp <3
She's naturally beautiful, has lovely hair and must be everywhere for a reason.



I can't explain my jelousy. On a final note- Freja Beha is my new favourite model, I just can't get enough. She has a brilliant mouth and I love the way she stares into the camera like a lost child, she is able to make anything look good with her face and hair alone. Basically she's hot stuff!



And after Google Image stalking Pete Dohery, again, I discovered he went out with [or is going out with?] the model Irina Lazareanu, who I have loved for ages just without knowing anything about her, lucky lucky. I really like her innocent and fragileness...



And finally, if any of you like lips, polaroids, friends and bedrooms- your in luck...
Because I found a wonderful website thingy http://bit.ly/9PhBUy
Sorry this blog was so outrageously long! And cheesey.
