This is what I've been doing all day. Besides work of course. I just keep typing in variations of '90s grunge american fashion' on Pinterest and drooling over the results.
 The torn distressed denim and plaid and bag tees and chokers and little round sunglasses and grunge and long natural hair and uh, it is just lovely.
And the music! Nirvana, The Cranberries, R.E.M, No Doubt, U2.
The 90s were a great decade.


What're your thoughts on 90s fashion and music and yeah, just in general as a decade?

springers

See what I did there? No...well I merged the word spring and fingers. Springers...sprin-gers. Never mind! Today I thought I'd share with you my lovely spring fingers. I can be a little crap at actually doing my nails and when I do, I forget to take a photo and share it but I'm having a loungey day that's consisting of reading (Of Mice and Men), popping down the shops to get some food (bananas, yoghurt, rice cakes etc) and then painting my nails whilst drowning out building work with meditation music. Oh! and Pinterest.

I decided to paint my nails in a lovely peach colour and then go over a random nail on each hand with my sequin nail polish. The peach one is really easy to use but I don't find the sequin nail polish very easy. The sequins clump together so the nail doesn't look smooth which annoys me a little! However I think the effect is good and although I am far from being good at nails, I'm quite happy with the result.

I used:

Barry M - Peach Melba & SNE White (Sequin Nail Effect)

I took some inspiration for my nails whilst browsing Pinterest.

today i'm wearing daisies

You may have noticed that my pictures aren't quite DLR quality. While visiting home I completely forgot to bring my camera back with me so I've been using my mum's digital camera. 

[dress, leggings, boots - newlook, nail varnish - topshop, rings - h&m, cardigan - primark, necklace - accessorise]

today i'm wearing zig-zags


[leather jacket, boots, leggings,skirt, jumper - all newlook and my necklace is from accessorise]

Here's a snap of me outside my house today. Just one picture cause I think you can see everything quite nicely. I'm not a fan of taking fifteen pictures where each is barely identifiable from the next. Like, I've moved my hand slightly and somehow this gives you such a fresh outlook on my style! But dare I say I may have gone too extreme in the opposite direction. I should and could have taken a couple more...
I will work on this.

Anyway,
Happy First Monday of March!
and
Happy Pancake Day tomorrow!
