gin in tea cups & leaves on the lawn, violence in dole queues & the pale thin girl behind the checkout,

just remembered about a vintage fair that's happening in a week or so, only a quid to get in so i might go along see if i can find anything nice :)

which also reminded me about 'freshmans' this vintage store i haven't been in for so long, i'll have to go.

& maybe if i find something i can make some outfits & steer the blog in a more 'fashion' direction again lol, i love my music too much i get distracted :)

i fancy you with a passion,

..under these lights you look beautiful ♪

everybody's looking, you’ve got control of everyone's eyes
including mine ♪

me & beth booked tickets to see arctic monkeys this november :)

can't wait !

it's gonna be amazing, hometown gigs are always the best x

broken glass. it's just like glitter, isn't it ?

''yes, it was riveting. despite everything, you knew there was goodness there. something to believe in. something which is good, pure and untainted by anything.''

• pete doherty on meeting carl barat.

pete & carl = love

i've noticed i'm posting less & less about fashion, more about what's running through my mind.

what if punk never happened ?

I'm taking you with me to see another time,

A place you could only have dreamed in your mind,

An alternative reality situated just outside of Clapham,

So strap yourself in,

Cos where we're going you don't need roads,

To get to where punk never happened.

There's a lesson to be learned, one that I will take home,
When I return to my normal reality zone,
Punk rock has the power to change the world,
It lies in every single punk rock boy and girl,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,
Take pride in being whoever the fuck you want to be,
Throw your fist in the air in solidarity,
And shout ''Viva la punk, just one life, anarchy''

last night was amazing !

i went to see U2 last night on their sold out 360 tour and loved it, it's the first time i've seen them live (my dad's seen them 4 times grr) and it was just incredible..

there were soo many people and we had a great view of the stage, it was a really amazing night.

pictures!

the stage.

view from my seat.

stage with 360 screens

another view.. (the stage kept changing colours :) )

love this one (minus that dudes head lol) can't believe how many people were there..

this was towards the end of the night, Bono told every one to get out their phones & then they turned off all other lights.

katie;x

p.s. i'll see if i can get some vids up soon :)

but here's a link to 'with or without you' that was recorded last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyl8stgNh_0

p.p.s. i found my bracelets haha i knew they'd turn up ..

i'm too sexy for my shirt ;)

so i'm loving the checked shirt/denim shorts combo atm, especially the way it looks great with both biker boots & gladiators so you can adapt it to the weather :)

i'm also including close ups of my boots & gladiators so you can see them nice and clear haha.

U2.

'Oh you look so beautiful tonight

Oh you look so beautiful tonight

Oh you look so beautiful tonight

In the city of blinding lights.'

in 3 days (!) i'm seeing U2 live for the first time i can't wait :) i'm so excited i love U2 & i'm sure they will be amazing live.

pictures of my U2 stuff..

i have 15 records, 16 CDs, 2 videos, 1 book & some casette tapes i can't find..

ceramic is the new paper ;)

i know i love my starbucks, but every time i get one i'm always thinking ''hmm.. another paper cup..''

so now i want one of these :) so i can use it again and again.. love it.

it's cute & environmentally friendly .. also good for your back pocket (apparently you get money off at starbucks if you use your own cup.. not sure though)

get yours here:

trash.

we went to a college on a school trip a while ago to enter a fashion competition ..

we were given a fashion brief saying that our group had to create something made entirely from 'trash' and a moodbaord to go with it.. this is what we did :

our mood board

close up of the back

back view

front view

sideview

it started off as a thick waist cinching belt and ended up like a corset lol

we were pretty pleased with it :)

bright eyes blue denim, bright eyes blue denim..

i love nicole richie's denim jacket, here you can see her wearing it with three different outfits.. which goes to show that one jacket can be used over and over, and look completely different everytime :)

get nicole's jacket here:

bit pricey for me though lol, so i'll either be checking out the charity shops or seeing if i can dig my old one out :)

red.

''And I can't do this by myself

All of these problems, they're all in your head

And I can't be somebody else

You took something perfect

And painted it red''

well my hair wasn't perfect by any means but i dyed it red.. it just kinda tinted it really cause my hair wasn't light enough to start with but i like it :) you can't see it too well in the pic though..

went to hollister yesterday, i could easily spend all day in there lol i love it .. also went to topshop and got a jumper in the sale- half price woo! only £15, love a bargin

very bad picture of me with my new hair and new jumper:

katie;x

i know i haven't posted in a while, i will soon :)

god knows where beth's got to with her posts though lol.

so it's summer, not that you'd know it.

seriously, in summer i want sun, fun, friends, bbq's, time to relax :) but nope, i'm home, it's raining outside, i'm so bored lol.

one good thing that's come out of my boredom is i've been to the gym twice this week (!), although i hate exercise it's actually not that bad.. although that could have something to do with these three guys that have been there both times ;) if that's not motivation i don't know what is haha.

and there's hollister opening near me tomorrow too (yay!). so me & rach are gonna go and check it out, already been on the website seeing what i want..

anyone fancy sending me some money haha ?

brazilets.

brazilets are a 200 year old accessory from brazil, it is believed that they grant wishes to all that wear them, when the material wears down and breaks off, then your wish will come true.

beth x

so we thought that if we wanted people to follow our blog, it'd make sense that you knew a little about us,

but since none of us are the types to talk about ourselves, we're doing it for eachother :)
so prepare to learn a bit about Beth ..

i first met Beth at secondary school four years ago, and she hasn't managed to get rid of me yet ;)
i love her to bits, everyone does.
She's 15. a great friend, laidback/easy going, funny, pretty, stylish, thoughtful & obsessed with friends :) you think someone like this would be really big headed right ? nope, she's so modest it's untrue.. when i told her i as writing about her today she said ''try & make out i'm a bit cooler than the geek i am haha''.
she's not a geek though lol, she loves music, fashion, dance, books, magazines, films. & i don't know why she's friends with me really.

we've got quite a lot in common; similar tastes in music, tv, humour & fashion.. which is mainly why we set up this blog together, because we love putting together different clothes for different looks. (i think the style advisor at topshop gets annoyed that we have to try on almost everything in the shop.. more than once)

bet you love her already, yeah ?
i know i do :) x

me & beth, (she's on the right) x
