men swear

My Daks check jacket. 

I just can't even describe how much I love this vintage mens jacket. I got it for £20 from Sue Ryder a few years back, but it is worth so much more! This is the original check print designed by Daks in 1976, and is still available today. Of course its over sized and sits a bit wide on the shoulders but the length is perfect and its great for tying in black and brown, which I do hate to wear together. I wore it past the flagship store on Old Bond Street today, taking it back to its roots in Piccadilly. I like to accesorise it with my own twist on heritage; the brogues are battered and my feather has a skull charm attached (Little Wing)

brown and black and birthdayed all over

Saturday night I managed to have yet another faux birthday, but closer to my actual birthday and still awesome. My actual birthday was kind of lame in the day and then better in the evening, but leading up to it I have been completely spoiled with love and generous gifts, which I will blog when appropriate, as I am basically too lazy to document it all arbitrarily. I don't like how I looked on the night as such, the tranny eyelashes were a huge mistake (again, I think its time to send them to early retirement) and my outfit would have looked nice on a wee waif but on me was just unflattering. However, I like to use this blog to record my charity shop and second hand finds, and this outfit contained a few doozies. I didn't have the foresight (or time) to photograph it so I have robbed these pics from Elle to demonstrate. And Simone had backcombed my hair something fantastic... A classic picture demonstrating how ridiculous Furr and I look together. I've really helped the situation with the frou-grab. The suede jacket was a tenner from my (ex) charity shop, its ginuwine Pioneer Wear, made in the U.S of A, baby. I love its pronounced shoulders. The skirt is vintage Topshop - not from the vintage section in Topshop, actual vintage Topshop. TopshopTopshopTopshopTopshop. I got it from a charity shop in Worcester Park a couple of years ago for a fiver and it was - what is very fashionable now but incomprehensible to me then - midi length, so I had it taken up, although it is still just above the knee, not mini. Wish I had left it alone now but how could I have known that a fashion that accentuates a bulky calf would be something I would want to wear? The print is all kinds of rad animal prints and animals. You can just see my new Little Wing earring, a gift from Elle which has skull beads on the top.

I will eat your heart. Creepy right?
Waaa I wanna be blonde

In the other ear I had a loooong feather earring from Topshop (which pre-dates Little Wing so is allowed...) and I wore a silky nightie from Asda as a top. Oooo look at all my hair. Elle also gave me a necklace and this Dia de los muertos skull bead bag charm. I am mad sick in love with it: .... yes this was the bag I took out on Saturday, I have some perverse matching problem. Incidentally, the bag was £2.50 from the second hand clothes shop that is opposite, and rival to, my ex charity shop.

Next up will be my sissys 21st birthday and I can't wait to see her!

slags night out

It was my twenty-faux birthday night out on Saturday, GOOD TIMES. Key members of team slag/girls gone wild were sadly missed but I love my ladies that did make it. I wore (because thats all slags really care about, after penises) a charity shopped pink and white leopard print vest, charity shopped belt and a white leather skirt I have hacked off from the East End Thrift store on 'have a beer, try not to spill it on all the mountains of clothes, and shove as much as you can in a bag for a tenner' night. Its probably got a sexier name than that really, but thats the jist. Obvs in an outfit that trashy 80s and white, one had to top up the tan and the tran. I wonder what these clothes got up to before they were mine. I also cheekily asked for my birthday present from Elle and her Little Wing range early so that I could complete my all-white-on-the-night outfit. THANKS BABE. I guess the jurys out on whether it was a bit too much tack, but its nice to try something new. Please note Georgie's Rubix cube bag, I have got to hand it to the girl, she is probably the only person I know who can get away with a novelty bag.

It made my night that Nomie Mac stayed out and came dancing
