I Will Possess Your Heart.

So, tomorrow, the 2nd July 2011, I am going to see my favourite band of all time - Foo Fighters, (Death Cab For Cutie and Biffy Clyro supporting).
Me and the other half are planning on arriving extremely early, so we can be close to them! However, the weather is supposed to be hot and sunny, not what I'd hoped for as it's going to be so warm already surrounded by 65,000 people that we didn't need the sun beaming down aswell!
I get a really bad headache if I'm in the sun too much, and thought about taking my sunglasses. But after plenty of thought decided against it, as I'm likely to get punched in the face somehow even if i try my best to avoid it, and I don't want to end up in hospital with sunglasses hanging out of my face.
So I needed something else to protect me from the sun.
This is what I decided on!

This lovely floral trilby is only £9.99 from New Look. It fits perfectly as I have a tiny head and it sits just right! I am not one for wearing hats, but I want to try it out, at least for a day so let's see how that goes!
My main aims tomorrow are - 1. Touch Dave Grohl.
                                             2. Not come home black and blue.

Unicorno.

I went to visit my other half in his lunch break today (he works in a comic book store), and I came across these cute little things. They are called Unicorno's, and there's a selection of ten to collect.

When purchased they come in a blind box, so it's a surprise what you get, but that's all part of the fun!
My other half said he'd buy me one, so I made him pick one for me. He just so happened to pick the one I wanted the most!
Mine's called Bellina and she's the cute pink one on the right hand side!
I think I may get addicted to collecting them.

'For me it has to remain underwear - and I don't want my underwear to disturb my outerwear'. - Veronique Branquinho

 Marie Jo L'Aventure, a Belgium based lingerie label, has asked Veronique Branquinho to create a collaborative selective collection.
The final product of this collaboration is a stunning, polished, aesthetically perfect capsule.

The technical aspect is right on perfection, with a sublime fit offering comfort and style.
The colour is a beautiful emerald green, and looks stunning against the pale skin of the model.

Veronique Branquinho states that she took huge inspiration from 16th century artist Lucas Cranach.
Lucas Cranach was a German Renaissance Painter, one of The Old Masters, who drew many images of nude women seen in mythology and religion

Adam & Eve - Temptation in Eden, 1526

She goes on to say that the Eves and Venuses seen in The Old Masters paintings remind her of women today. Women may have adapted to modern times, but we are all still the same form as women you see in these older images. Branquinho wants to be able to design for 'the universal woman of all time', 'time changes but the woman looks the same'.
Other inspirations Veronique Branquinho has take from couture. The shapes, the fabrics and the aesthetics, including layers and layers of tulle, along with reinforced pleats.

I think all lingerie designers should keep this quote stuck on their fridge to remind them that UNDERWEAR is for under, the outerwear.

Thank you, and goodnight.

Skull & Hearts

My new ring. Bought it yesterday for £6 from Matalan. MATALAN?! But I love it. It's all gold, and sparkly and skeleton like.

Just been browsing the Alexander McQueen website and noticed these lookylikey's;

Gotta love a bit of McQueen.

Bargain Ahoy!

Found the cutest little shop today which was closing down. Everything was extremely cheap, and extremely cute so I couldn't help myself!
Things to go in my new BOY FREE flat :)

Beautiful little heart shaped trinket boxes, set of 4. Covered in images of hearts, angels and fairies!

Pink knives, forks & spoons, £1 each!

Frost glass Wonder Woman glasses, £3 for a set of two!

Wizard of Oz tin bin, absolutely love this.

This all only came to £15! Couldn't believe it, could have bought everything in the shop!
Today was a good day.

Big Me.

Best day ever. My Foo Fighters tickets came today, for the gig on Saturday.
I have been wanting to see Dave Grohl live since I was 15...I am now 20. It only took 5 years to happen!

Think I will actually cry when I see him! Such a shame I'm going with my boyfriend...

Fairyland.

Just wanted to share these beauties with you all. I unfortunatley don't know where they are from or what they were taken for as I came across them on a fashion forum, but they are absolutely stunning!
The shots make me think of the magical world of fairyland, where anything is possible.
