a photo says 1000 words, and so do i

so i've notice my blog has been pretty pictureless lately (i had used to always try and include at least one picture) and i'd been getting all debbie downer on you guys, so here, to get things back to normal, are some clothing and stuff! (please excuse the awkward poses)

in england, i didn't buy a whole heck of a lot because i didn't have tons of time to shop, but, this is what i left with:

Photobucket
shirt from topshop london
it is open in the back and closes with a tie
topshop in london was INSANE. there were i think 4 floors (for girls, and another one for boys) and each floor was about the size of a huge department store and stuffed with clothes from wall to wall. tons of cool clothes, but a)the layout was weird so i probably missed tons wandering in circles, b)i get really frustrated when i'm stuck in a crowd and there were way too many people in there and i felt really cramped, c) again, it was too damn big, d) it was expensive (well, not what i bought, i found it on the sale rack lol), e)when i was done, i couldn't find where to pay or how to get out!

Photobucket
cardigan from h&m in nottingham and dress from a booth at the big chill (i bought it caz it was super hot out one day and was hot in what i was wearing lol)

Photobucket
vintage store in nottingham for £10 (so 20ish dollars)
walked into the store (pretty much a warehouse), and there were huge piles of clothes and stuff everywhere! i went straight to the shoes, they had tons of super killer leather boots, but apparently the british have tiny feet and none of them fit, until i saw these!! i love em. super shocked when i found out how much they were caz they're in perfect condition and real leather. plus there were in a vintage shop, which usually means high prices. great find. marcus bought two 80's track jackets and some sweet short shorts lol for £20 total.

Photobucket
i also got these grey pants from uniqlo

Photobucket
at the music fest, i bought a mighty boosh tee, but didnt take a pic and couldn't find one online, so instead, you get a picture of noel fielding. he's a babe. i like my men blindfolded ;) ...and in leather pants...and, wait..heels? hmm. okay, whatever, he's still a babe.

then when i got back, i kinda went on a spending spree and got:

Photobucket
this watch from silver lotus in osborne. i asked the guy one day if it was a guys watch, he said no. next day when i went in to buy it he asked if it was a gift. i think it's a mens watch. but oh well, i like it. the black circle looks like a plane radar thing that you can set to another time zone.

Photobucket
dress from costa blanca. saw this dress before i left, didn't buy it. went in again, and it was 50% off, so went for it. it's comfy, cute, and slimming, what more could you want in a dress?

Photobucket
skirt from my work. i'd been lookin for one like this for a while. a plain black cotton-like material high waisted skirt with pockets, and voila, there it was on the rack at my work! (normally i prob wouldn't wear it with the top i'm in in the pic, but i was too lazy to fully change)

Photobucket
little boys shirt that fits perfect from joe superstore. apparently i'm the same size as 6-14 yr old boys.

then two more pics:

Photobucket
i was bored last night and wanted to try a certain drawing style, didn't know what to draw, so i just did me...i'm cool.

Photobucket
while i was gone, my parents painted my room for me as a "surprise" (i quote it caz before i left my mom said "there'll be a surprise waiting for you in your room when you get back!" lol, way to be obvious), it's a robin egg bluey green :) when i got back i finally got to but up my shelves and bring out all my dvds/mags/cds again! well, this is only a small portion, i didnt want the shelves to collapse so the rest are in my closet hah.

i read the book "the yes man" by danny wallace on my trip. so good. if you're looking for a book, this one's great. easy read, entertaining, and super funny.
"'I, Danny Wallace, being of sound mind and body, do hereby write this manifesto for my life. I swear I will be more open to opportunity. I swear I will live my life taking every available chance. I will say Yes to every favor, request, suggestion and invitation. I Will Swear To Say Yes Where Once I Would Say No.' Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead he was avoiding people. Texting them Instead of calling them. Calling them Instead of meeting them. That is until that one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'Say Yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. Yes Man is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say Yes to everything, in order to make his life more interesting. And boy, did it get more interesting." (synopsis from amazon.co.uk)

THE END. now go hug someone you think is cute.
