we are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods!




Yeah, sorry about the MySpace style 'photo-taken-in-mirror' shots! Unfortunately I do not have have a cool photographer boyfriend, a tripod or even a decent flat surface above waist level, so mirror shots will just have to do until that situation is rectified.

Anyway, back to the point, that's my new dress; what do ya think? It's from Topshop, cost £45.00 (£5 off with Nadia's student discount, SCORE!!!) and is probably the most flattering thing in my ENTIRE wardrobe, no joke. It's got that nice skater shape without the horrible clingy material and the black stripe down the middle just SHRINKS you. SHRINKS! Anyone else got an item of clothing that just works?

Aside from dress buying, what else have I been doing recently? Something a little less superficial, prehaps? No, not really. Aside from flat hunting and working (shoot me), I've met up with some (ex)potential housemates who turned out to be AWFUL (but hilarious), met with the lovely Daniela from Couture & Crumpets who introduced me to proper dirty American food at The Diner in Soho, got a rubbish tweet retweeted 100+ times (ONE HUNDRED PLUS TIMES!), got involved with my mum's new obsession "shabby chic", re-watched Quadrophenia and had my debut viewing of Up! If you follow me on Twitter then you're probably also aware that I cried (though not as much as I did when I saw Toy Story 3), ten minutes in, right on cue. God, saddest opening ten minutes ever.

Anyway, hope you're all alright! I am hoping to get back into the swing of blogging regularly again soon, just been quite with the flat hunting (moving very slowly) and the working (even slower) and the sleeping... (slowest)

Until next time.

    I've heard tell of The Diner - it sounds bloody amazing. I could murder something a bit naughty and delicious right now.

  15. My tripod broke so I've resulted in piling up lot's of books and other random stuff to take photographs! Serves me for buying a cheapo one though. :P

    Up is a really cute film. I cried again when he takes a look at the album again and sees that his dead wife wrote their "adventure" in it. :( That was so beautiful!
