"Imperfection is beauty"

               

 

 

 

I found a load of photos whilst trolling through my computer of which i took last summer when VERY bored.. I tried finding quite ugly things and making them look beautiful & visa versa with pretty things..

Back home i have painted onto my wall a quote by Marylin Monroe - "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring". This fits even with the flowers which we know look pretty as they have certain qualities which make them a little more ugly like the vein like shadow in an orchid petal. As for the others theyre quite nasty. Well a sack of onions will never be looked at as beautiful ever again .. 

OOTD & my new shoes :)

Patriotism for the wrong country.

A little bit of patriotism on my nails looks pretty, even if it inst for my country ho hum. 

A sucker for jewels.

Not only two blogs in one day but two "online browsing/dreaming" blogs.. This can only mean one thing, its Sunday in Gala.

So heres a quick spread of some of my old time favorite jewellery brands & my favourite pieces at the moment. Some are mens but ho hum i normally go with it anyway :) 

 ASOS, Disney couture, Tom Binns, Jacey Withers, Calourette, Disaya & Pyrrha.

The "if i wasn't a student" wishlist.

I first saw another blogger do this post & i couldn't resist doing it myself too :) So heres my list of items im dreaming of... Enjoy.

New hair colour :) just to blend in with Scotland a tad more.

Just a quick one to update my blog. Long story short decided that the strawberry blonde/ginger colour i was previously wasn't quite ginger enough for Scotland. So to add a bit of boom to my hair i dyed small sections red and ginger to accentuate the original colour. However don't worry too much, im sitting in the sun which is making it glow a little :)  

Yet more nails...

As always the prospect of bland, boring nails bored the life out of me. lets spice things up a little :) 

Creativity and its consequences. & a sorry to my mother..

Once moving out and into my own room at university I've finally realized just how messy my "projects" can be. Lets just say acrylic paint doesn't come out of carpets, bummer.

Just as good the final product made my room a little more homely and frankly. Pretty.

 

Yet again more F.D antics.

& to think i travelled 500 odd miles only to continue dressing up not only myself but now also other people as stupid things. Spider man, great one...

"You've got your head in the clouds"

Thank you to Ailsa and her family for a stunning weekend up near Glasgow.

 Never have i seen a mountain before let alone a whole car journey full of them. I could begin to like Scotland if it can look as pretty as this all year round just PLEASE don't get tooo stupidly cold for my first winter ? :)

Exciting stuff.

Beginning uni was amazing frantic but having our first teasing glimpse of the kind of work we will get to do is even better. I say bring on more quarter scale pattern cutting lessons.

Chaotic fancy dress antics.

Put a group of excitable, creative fashion students into one room, add alcohol, energy drink & cupcake high levels of sugar and the result was never going to be a quite one. Apparently my new friends and i don't like being told to dress in burlesque so take it into our hands to dress as the polar opposite,pirates. I believe we look the part :)

A lesson in cookery.

Which occasion exactly doesn't deserve cake? I call a 19th birthday is a pretty good one so late as it is, happy birthday poppet :)

& for my first post, the thing people know me for most. My random, time consuming nails :)
