all I know about her is she had soft lips when she was 10


shoes - office | dress - banggood | bag - my sister's

I had such a wonderful day today, but I kind of feel a little queasy from eating so much pie! Basically me and my best friend made a list of all the things we were going to do last summer but we ended up just lying around and eating in our favourite cafe all the time instead. Oh well. Instead we're trying to do it now, and one of those things was making pies and watching Pushing Daisies again. So everything was wonderfully sweeeeet today, and now I want to lie down and sleep forever because Ned is such an adorable darling and I will probably die alone. Nice. Here's some pie pictures to lighten the mood:


The large one was an apple pie with Gruyère cheese baked into the pastry, an idea actually from Pushing Daisies; we call it the Chuck Cheer-up Pie. It was heavenly.
Also that dress is my witchy dress and it only cost me £19, such a blessing; I wear it when I want to feel powerful and mysterious. Those boots also make me even more ridiculously tall than I already am (5"7 isn't that tall but I'm usually taller than everyone I meet so...), but I've been called an Amazonian in them so I adore them ceaselessly.

held together with hope and candle-wax


Leggings - Black Milk Clothing | Jumper - Peacocks | Shoes - Dr Martens | Shorts - Miss Selfridge

Well hi. So this is my first post on this blog and I'm not really sure why I wanted to do it, I just wanted to see how I felt about writing about clothing and the things that I love. This is kind of where I will vent and talk about anything that tickles my pickle. 
Okay, so I'm kind of madly in love with Hieronymous Bosch at the moment, and his artwork, which is the print on the leggings 'The Garden of Earthly Delights', but I can't decide whether I would have preferred 'The Garden of Unearthly Delights' because it's a little darker and probably more suitable for me haha. I feel a little sorry for these leggings today, I spent the day cleaning at work and might have scuffed the knees a little. It was all for a good cause. I'm sure they understand.


Cards - London Fancy Dress Shop | Unicorn - Christmas gift | Nabokov & Fitzgerald - etsy store

I kind of forgot that I had the Nabokov and Fitzgerald pins so it was a pleasant surprise coming across them again; they're my favourite authors, though my love of Fitzgerald is bittersweet now having read a biography of Zelda Fitzgerald and being unable to stop crying about them. Their lives were so devastating, so tragic, they broke my heart. Also the fancy dress shop I got the pin from was magic and I swear to god, I wanted to buy everything in there but was suffering from a severe lack of funds due to the student life.

Well my darlings, there was a brief and kind of boring first post: really want tomorrow to come now, I'm making pie and watching Pushing Daisies with my darling best friend. 

Until next time x
