Jeremy Warmsley and Emmy The Great= genius

you know i have not bought a fashion magazine in a very long time

so i have no idea whats going on in the rest of the fashion world

and to be honest i don't really care that much

i had a point to this but i can't seem to remember what that was

i'm not feeling very inspired right now

and i really should be doing some work right now

i really want these but i sadly have not the occasion to wear them... or the money but we'll just dance over that small fact

see Heals fashion lab AW 08/09

i also want this but i also clearly can't afford it

being poor is rubbish

oh i just found this on my website... i quite like it but has no relevence to my project

http://www.dianacooper.net/docs/lg_constructions.shtml

also male or female who doesn't want a pair of these bad boiz

see jeffery west

i should probably go and do something now

Happy Songs Work For Some

Today I feel:

• Confused by the fact that someone actually refuses to close the oven door?
• Fat and ugly but to be honest I'm bored of this.
• Clean.
• Cultured.
• A little bit mellow.
• The unquenchable urge to make a wig.
• Proud I can spell "unquenchable."
• Inspired.
• Creative.
• I have no reason to prove him wrong.
• Amused everyone thinks my ex's big date upsets me.
• Glad I have milk.

There are no boys in my head right now. Okay, maybe one. Missing him SO.

I Always Forget What The Back Of My Hair Looks Like.

Right now I am all for sitting around feeling sorry for myself eating chocolate.

A rather lush jumper I'm customising for a charity fashion show i'm taking part in (http://www.young-lives.org.uk/ if you live in the Cambridgshire area).
It's clearly for my equally lush male model and is THE most unflattering thing ever on me.
Guilty pleasures...

I Wore Sweat Pants Today.

I am healing three tattoos, one piercing and a broken heart.

Why can I not be witty, pretty and kissable?
I cannot even begin to discribe how i'm feeling right now.

I See A Line Of Cars And They're All Painted Black.

I see the girls walk by dressed in all their summer clothes. I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.

Dress: Vintage, Shirt: H&M, Leggings, Zara, Shoes: Not a clue mate, Cuffs: Topman. Ring: Accessorize.

This summer I vow to:

- Eat healthy.
- Take things SLOW.
- Not be embarrased by my body, voice, the way I dress or the stupid thngs I say.
- Write more.
- Sew more.
- Kiss him.
- Only deal with one ex at a time.
- Not check facebook everyday.
- Live by the vow!
- Listen to new music.
- Learn to cook Japanese!
- Have picnics whenever the feeling takes me.
- Not feel guilty.
- Keep my new room tidy
- Paint my nails more often.
- Shave my legs more often.
- Save.
- Not spend too much money on tattoos.
- No, scrap that last one... get as many tattoos as I fancy, in whichever places I choose.
- Visit home more.
- See my Lady more often.

Sounds good to me.

-Dagger.

"Wow, You Actually Look Like A Punk."

I like TATTOOS.

I like TEXT MESSAGES.

I also quite like my hair.

Not so much in this picture.

Jacket: Vintage, Top: Topshop, Skirt: H&M, Leggings: Zara, Shoes: Irregular Choice, Gloves: River Island, Cuffs: Topman.

If This Is My Destiny...

...Then Why Am I So Bored?

well its been another week so here is another blog update.

how is life treating everyone this week?

personally i've been working... and trying to find suitable buttons, it's harder than i thought to find the perfect ones. so if anyone knows where i can find some tiny red buttons... the dome-shaped kind with a shaft please would you let me know. but on the bright side my ballet shoes came so at least my photoshoot will go well... anyway enough about this.

what i wore today:

jacket: free from my lovely nan- but actually m&s

dress: new look

leggings:primark

boots:dr martens

i'm quite proud of this outfit considering i had 5 seconds to decide what to wear cos i woke up so late this morning. also i know there is mega clash going on here but i think it works quite well...

and then i went to work and had my soul sucked out by the uniform (i still had my pink socks on though)

today i also bought these bad boiz... yes i know they are old and you have all probably seen them but i got them for £7! so i thought it was worth mentioning... i love a good bargain!

i also bought these:

oh yes i got some cycling shorts they were £5! i mean seriously how could i not.. saying that though i have no idea what i will wear them with... probably DMs but then i pretty much wear them with everything anyway

i also felt the need to share this album art work with you, i'm probably behind the times here but i love image used on the She Wants Revenge album, made me laugh anyway...

OH MY GOLLY GOSH

i have just this second discovered this: http://www.vivaspinups.com/cms/index.php

i have to say that i love that HMSlatex is on deviantart

pin ups are fun aren't they

i feel there should be more latex in my wardrobe, her are a couple of my favs but i feel you should look for yourself but beware there is boobage:

also i'm mega in love with this hat! but i sadly cannot find the creator apparently they go by the name of Topsy Turvy but i cannae find it on the web... but then google isn't god. the dress is by HMSlatex:

see http://hmslatex-designs.deviantart.com/ or http://www.hmslatex.com/ for more latex goodness... i have to say that i am a huge fan

this reminds of a book i bought i may have to get scanning at some point to show you all

and on that note i shall be leaving you all

until tomorrow then...(please note the ed harcourt reference)

Whatever Happened To Saturday Nights?

Dagger: Can you believe lilac lipstick is ment to be back in fashion?
Lady: Oh my, what is the world coming to!

Why does no one else blog here anymore?

-Dagger.

Lady Madona

Girly?

I do most things on a whim. This is the reason I'm writing this with a shot glass over my belly button.

Let's run away together and I can write really awful poetry and you can make really beautiful clothes and we can be finally happy.

-V. Dagger.

Happy Deadline Day!

Yeah. I have so many better things to be doing right now. It can all wait a minute though.

Ten Things That Make Me Feel Sexy:

1. Plucking my eyebrows. I need to do this wayyyyy more often.
2. Moisturising my legs.
3. Totally sweet text messages from pretty boys. "Morning you =) you a busy bee today?" you know who you are LOL.
4. Jay Brannan.
5. When people say they like my hair.
6. Having my tattoos kissed =)
7. Having naughty piercings =D
8. When I've just painted my nails. I can fool myself into thinking I'm an elegant one for like a minute. Before I smudge them.
9. Reading on busses.
10. Flowers. Flowers are very sexual things. At least there's on thing me and that prince agreed on before we went our seperate ways.

Bring on tomorrow.

-V. Dagger

gigs, work and more work

sorry i haven't been around much this week and seeing as i have the whole on sunday i felt i should update you all on my wearabouts this week:

i saw the maccabees on tuesday... very unlike me i have to admit but a bit of pure pop is very much needed sometimes. it was a good set, they didn't play for long enough though and they kicked us out at 10:30 i mean come on people. also some radomer thought it was okay to grope my head... so not okay! they didn't play one of my favourite songs though which was poo and as it happens i can't find the video i was thinking of but i particularly like this one from a creative point of view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j44-GTlOU6k

i was also wearing the best t-shirt ever, i bought it last tuesday when we all bunked college and went into london, i got it from this little clothing exchange place on the edge of soho. it was only £10 and everyone was telling me how nice i looked all day so it was defo worth the money!

and of course everyone knows that flamingoes are the best birds... mostly for the camp value

wednesday i had the girls round after college for a evening of junk food and movies. during lunch we all went out and bought matching pjs like the 13 year old girls we wish we were. you can't deny that look alot like medical scrubs but for £5 from primark you can't really go wrong.

thursday and friday i worked all day, but i won't bore you with the horrific details

now don't get me started about saturday, Dagger came home from uni! we had a fabulous time shopping then nandos then another gig! i spent alot of money that i shouldn't have and got these t-shirts:

which lets face it i needed in my t-shirt collection

then we popped over to shepards bush market for a nandos pitta and then on to bush hall for Jay Brannan. now most people have never heard of Jay but you must listen to his music because he is amazing!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVuhdIK2E7o

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNxzFPTA1y4

he was stunning! and is also on myspace and facebook so add him!

oh i almost forgot to mention that he was in pop's 20th anniversary animal issue last season, here he is:

i have to admit that i felt rather impressed by the fact that i already knew who he was when i read this... this is how lame i am. but anyway find him and send him some love because we all love him

i also felt the need to mention these shoes i bought last week, i saw them sitting on the sale self and had to snapthem up... i think they are kind of ugly and cute and amazing all at the same time and my dad thinks the laces look like liquorice. and i thought these pied a terre creations were are bargain at £35 especially as they were reduced from £110!

anyway i should probably go and get some college work done or get showered and change out of my pjs

see you next time

I Want To Be A Housewife

Okay. Last night was AMAZING.

http://www.myspace.com/jaybrannan

It's like he plucks the thoughts out of my mind and makes them far more eloquent. It's so good knowing you're not the only muppet wandering around being depressed about that kind of thing.

Also, the guy standing next to us had some cute inkage that made me actually pine for more lol.

Seeing my Lady again was actually, I don't know. Indescribable. "I miss you like... like... like I'd miss toothbrushes if someone decided to take away the world supply of toothbrushes!"

I'll leave it to her to post pictures. I don't think I managed an outfit post, which is a shame cos I found an adorable vintage dress jacket in my wardrobe here in London which is clearly travelling back to Cambridge with me.

Anyway. Should be doing some form of uni work. Shall leave you to enjoy the glorious weather of today!

-V. Dagger.

I Can't Give You Anything But Love

Shirt, pants: Zara, Dress: H&M, Shoes: T.U.K at Schuh, Bag: Vintage.

The cute YMCA guy: "Ohhh. I like your ummm... WOW."

I honestly can't resist sequins right now. Amanda insisted it was because I was "all about the texture." She may be right.

Sitting in the bed I grew up in, the bed I lost my virginity in no less. And I feel, I really don't know how to describe how I feel. I don't feel lost anymore.

Feeling creative, and dare I say it..?

Screw it. I feel HAPPY and PRETTY.

And I actually just laughed at the KitKat senses advert. Which is possibly a sin but I enjoyed doing it anyway!

Sleep well Blog readers,

Today...

Today I got up early for no reason *ahem flatmates.*

I feel a little bit like a princess today. To be honest it's a miricle I feel anything about myself other than self-hate and self-pity.
I have decided I only only deal with one ex at a time. Such a shame the only civil one lives so far away.

Have a good day blog readers,

V. Dagger

Good Morning World!

I reeeeeally really need a new laptop. It hurts I don't have anyone to help me understand all the numbers anymore.

I hate to keep moaning about it, and I promise I'll look back at my Morrissey-esque winging in three weeks and laugh.

Or maybe I won't. I miss my Prince, and I miss being a princess.

Always will a little bit.

ANYWAY!

Here's a really tiny, shitty webcam pic of what I'm working on... aka why I'm up so early...

It's kind of a petticoat to go under a poofy jacket I've been making. I'm sure I'll possibly show you all one day. It needs three more layers of netting under there... aka why I'm going to be up so late tonight!

Anyway, off to shower, to change out of my pjs, then owards and upwards to work!

Have a good day lovers,

V. Dagger

Sale shoes and erm.........Bras... How I love thee!!!

Oh the actual shock to go to get measured at Bravissimo and find out that your HUGE... thats all I can say. Wonder if shoes doesn't let you feel like a pregnant woman..... well my size is still available 'Office how I love thee' looking at these beauties makes me wanna skip up and down the YMCA. Well as a student you calculate everything around the same price.. like sale shoes £25 erm... new fitted bra £25.
Okay choices, choices.

Better to have them popping and wearing a new pair of stunner office beauties and hum to myself 'Oh Office how I love thee' the soundtrack of my day today.
the choices :s

~~~Two Sugars Please~~~

Hi tops and new eras =D

I has new Hi tops!! =D

Nike Oncore Zoom Air Hi 6.0 They are available in black too :D

They are seriously compfy. Personally i like wearing the bow behind the tongue. I love the tongue on these its huge but not too huge like on diesel impression.

My next Hi tops will probably be the Osiris bronx II black n white. Whenever i have the cash.

I'm thinking of getting a new era heres three the of my favorites. Don't get much of a choice because of my dreads makes me size 7 7/8. Lame...

Please tell me which one you like best :)

Two Punks Walk Out Of A Japanese Resturant...

Sounds like the start a joke doesn't it?
Nope, just my latest and greatest relationship lol. Now I'm supposed to say "ohhh ended up like a bit of a joke anyway" but I just can't bring myself to.
I actually miss him with every breath I take.

CHEESE.

Forget boys, i'm on the search for something intensley feathered.
In black, of course, or even grey would do quite nicely. But E-bay just isn't showing me the love.
I saw a lovely lovely picture of a lovely lovely feathery skirt in this month's Grazia (VOMIT) that was apparently from Topshop but I feel it lied to me.
However, I do adore this... http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=60&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=151408&parent_category_rn=85550&productId=1132373&langId=-1
even though (a) I am veggie veggie veggie and the thought of suede makes me cringe a little and (b) I have the black letaher one from last season despite point (a).

Might have to make do with some feathery eyelashes a la Lady Gaga crammed under my glasses for the time being...

Anyway, peace love and happiness,

V. Dagger x
