Off to the Lazy Meadow

Second day in NYC = vintage shopping, including my guilty pleasure purchase (string vest, and wot) watching women's soccer and hanging out. All in all, as awesome a day as ever, complete with a fab evening, spent with a group of friends, including Russell, our friend from the Tommyguns salon, Thomas Hooper, the epic tattoo artist who has inked my brothers and father in the past (and will be doing more on Monday!!!) and his wife Kimberly, who are all so cool it's crazy. Sorry I have almost no photographs this holiday, but it's pretty difficult, with the crutches and all. However, I do still have my little Lookbook page, so if anyone is interested, check it out. Proud to announce that I have over 800 fans now! Pretty fly for a white guy.

Tomorrow, we're going up state to the Catskills to stay at the same 'Kate's Lazy Meadow' lodge that we did a couple years back, which is so rad and exciting and gah I can't wait to hang out at Duffy's and Lucy's place again! Their barn is awesome and the massive group of friends down there just make it even more perfect, so there will be a post about all of that happy stuff either on Monday, if I can be that efficient, or when I get back from New York on Wednesday. Hopefully there will be some tales to tell, and if not, I will just show you pretty pictures of the stream. And of Duffy's beard.

Hasta la vista.

Hobbling in Brooklyn

The first day of this trip was marvy, as we went to the Whitney Museum to see the  retrospective of Yayoi Kusama and then to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations'. Kusama's work was phenomenal and as an artist she was so ahead of her time. The second show was such an interesting concept that I forgave it for not being very well planned out ie. the way it was set out, but it's always fun to drool over vintage couture and Prada, so I was a happy bunny.

After being cultural n shizzle, my Mother and I took our traditional shopping trip to Reformation. Me oh my, it was all so pretty and Miley-esque (okay, don't be hatin', I used to despise her but c'mon, she is a goddess now she is past her cowboy boots and Hannah Montana days). It was a successful trip and as always, pictures will be up soon. There was also a little trip to American Apparel, which is just as over priced and average as always, but I still bought some pieces, including bright turquoise... wait for it... disco shorts. Please don't kill me, but it is my mission to make them 'werk'. Yes, I may fail miserably, but at least I don't wear them with Jeffrey Campbells and a bedazzled bralet (like the rest of North London girls) but imma stop ma self b4 i get 2 nasti!!!!! ;-) 

Report back tomorrow with more tales from New York!

Middle class rebellion

This title is pretty much the epitome of what happened yesterday. My friend thought it would be fun to climb over the fence between the park and sneak into Highgate Cemetery, and I am a fool and agreed. It was all fine and dandy until we had to climb back over the said fence and I plummeted to my near death and fractured my ankle (mind you, I am 5 ft so that was like... a whole 6-7 ft). 

My excuse was 'yolo' but we all know that's just slang for 'I'm a massive noob'. Best part? I was informed after the whole shambles of it all that it's free entrance. On the bright side, I got a gnarly boot for it, which I put stickers on, and I have already bedazzles my crutches. Remember who u talkin' to, gurrrl. Another glorious piece of info? NEW YORK CITY, HERE I COME.

Countdown to NYC 2012

There are only 4 days left until I go to New York, which is too rad for words, and I thought I should just do a lil' post on here to inform you my summer is supa dupa and I am pumped for this next holiday. As always, I will be blogging about my trip pretty much everyday in NYC, but I will be spending a weekend in the Catskills again with Duffy and his friends, which is going to be off the chizzle, so I will hopefully be able to document about it all on here.

Not sure if I mentioned, but my hair has returned to a white bleach blonde, which is a bummer because I miss the unicorn locks, but I might get it dyed on my trip to NYC... I am not positive about that, BUT my brothers and father are getting more tattoos by Thomas Hoope! Dinos Chapman drew them again, so when they get 'em done I will have a post dedicated to just how awesome they look and how jealous I am!

'Til then...

WAH - Take 2

Yesterday, I returned to WAH nails in Topshop with my friends, and I had to stay low key for a wedding I am going to tomorrow, but they went all out with the cray cray nails. Here's a photo we took after, and if it's not obvious, mine are the lilac ones with the tie-dye design on the 'wedding finger' (right, I thought that was the technical term but I was laughed at, so 'whatevaaa, mingaaa' - excuse the year 5 diss, it's all I got). For the wedding, I will be wearing a mint Missguided dress with my Opening Ceremony heels, and as always, pictures will be up soon.

Insta-ed. 

That means this was posted on Instagram, Mum.

Then, I saw a couple other gals before they left me to go on holiday, received a hilarious phone call from a friend who was at a party literally 1 minute away, and I was off. It was a b-day ting, the boys wore suits, there was birthday cake with candles, it was magical. Here is what I wore, if anyone cares. If you do, remember, I have Lookbook yo! Hype! Follow! Yay.

Yet another photo, which is just so cringey and horrendous of me, so let me say that I accept anyone throwing something at me at this point. 

It's only for the nose piercing, I swear!

Now, I must bid ye farwell, as I am off to scrape in on my brother's date with his gf to see 'The Dark Knight Rises'. If you didn't already, read about all the crazy incidents that all are linked to the Batman films here. 

If that's not crazy, I don't know what is. Apart from this. 

Sassy.

P.S Pretty sure I am yet to go a week without blogging a comical picture of an animal. Is there some kind of rehab? Help would be appreciated <3

P.P.S Sorry if I don't blog for a wee while, Mother and I are taking an impromptu 3 day holiday to Biarritz. How very Chelsea of us. Au revoir!

No doubt you love No Doubt

Let's face it - Gwen Stefani is a goddess. She always has been and always will be. Also, she doesn't age which is like the biggest mystery in the universe, but I love her so much and when I heard No Doubt had a new song I did a happy dance and trolled youtube to find it and here it is. Listen and enjoy. If you don't like it, listen to Channel Orange. If you don't like either, you can leave my blog 4eva. OHMYGOSH I'M JOKING DON'T HATE ME I LOVE YOU ALL.

But fo rizzle, sort yo self out. 

An oldie, but a goodie.

Some Frank for y'all.
