I think I can hear my liver failing me.

As of today I'm self-imposing a ban on several things in my life:

 1. MONSTER- oh monster, i love you so, but you do bad things to my body and you make me do bad things in general. To quote lady Gaga, we are caught in a bad romance. But this is only going to end horribly for me, and i don't think it's entirely fair that you will escape unscathed, while i become the first person to enter rehab for MONSTER addiction. But you are just SO delicious... I'm going to have to wean myself off slowly, cold-turkey would kill me. I will limit myself to only one night of VODKAMONSTAA per week, and a maximum of 2 cans throughout the night. So please help curb my addiction, I need you all to be vigilant and make sure I don't overdose. 

 2. ALCOHOL - I mean, I don't have a problem or anything. I'm not dependent on it, but I just prefer it to the alternative. But lately things have become a little excessive. (From Textsfromlastnight.com this seems fitting-(704): Monday: I just need a drink Tuesday: OMG no more this week! Wednesday: oh shit how'd I get drunk Thursday: I'm glad you've stopped the pretenses). 
I realised I had hit new lows recently, I was staying at my mum's house and went out to drink at a basketball game. Yeah, that's right, I didn't go to watch a basketball game... I went with the main intention of getting smashed on 2euro beer and heckling the players (achieved both tasks). So I drunkenly stumble in at my mum's, fully expecting her to be asleep. Unfortunately she wasn't, and attempted to make conversation while I headed to the bathroom. My nickname isn't VOMGIRL for nothing... I end up falling asleep/passing out sitting on the bathroom floor with my head on the toilet seat. AND BEING WOKEN UP AND PUT TO BED BY MY MAMA. life fail? nah, hilarious anecdote. It unfortunately hasn't deterred me from drinking in the slightest, but I think I should start curbing it in...soon. 

 3. FOOD- yup, all food... liquids only. Patsy from AbFab style (Eddie: Patsy hasn't eaten since 1974.Patsy: A crisp, darling. A crisp.). Now don't get me wrong, I in no way at all think I'm fat or anything, I don't want to lose any drastic weight, I just want to fit into my skinny jeans without any hint of muffin top. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR?!? And as this summer has been totally freaking louche, all the excessive drinking, eating, partying has taken its toll on my waistline. The worst part is the vicious cycle that they all fit into... drink monster, get hungry, eat, drink vodkamonstaaa, get hungry, eat. 

I will probably fail on all of this by tomorrow. oh well. louche is as louche does. Here are some drunk pictures as a reminder that this is what happens when you drink VODKAMONSTAAAA...let it instill the fear in all of you.

This is what happens if you drink Monster

You make stupid faces


And style your hair like a skater boy in the 90's

then you go and make stupid VOMGIRL faces
lots of stupid faces (sorry for posting this vommy)
then you abuse your friends, and try to take their clothes off


peace&love&vodkamonstaaaa

Miss me yet?

I'm not going to apologise again for being erratic with my posts... I think my sporadic entries add to the charm and whimsical way of my blog... ok yeah right, I'm just being lazy and have been enjoying it too much to actually do things (or wear clothes) worth blogging about.

Being a stylist, most people assume that I must buy loads of clothes for myself, since I am always in the shops. But I think it actually makes me buy less (good thing) because I see so much stuff, everyday, it all just kind of lost its appeal... I lost the excitement of shopping. Which is kind of super sad times, as who doesn't love a nice bit of retail therapy??
But on the plus side it does make me appreciate the things I get, as I feel that they are chosen with more care and thought rather than an impulse purchase that i'll regret later.

So here are a few new belongings that I'm loving right now... as modeled by Skinny Minnie.

Suuukkkeeeehhhh! Vampire necklace

Amzing ring by Kalliroy (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kalliroi-Workshop/151927084836373) 
Also equally amazing bracelet by Kalliroy

powwwww leopard print vintage Dolce and Gabbana trousers. Haven't rocked them out yet though... 

Awesome old picture from thrift shop in Larnaca

New additions to my bracelet arm - orange rope one courtesy of my PookieTwin,  and turquoise beads&skulls from Elena :) 

CHIEFFEDDDDD jeans shorts from Monkey, and vintage frame with stitched hunting scene (super kitsch I love it) from the thrift shop in Larnaca
That's enough new stuff to keep me happy for now, but I mean... I'm not going to turn away any gifts that might come my way... just saying... 

peace&love&vampfangs

To make up for the dull post earlier...

Here are terribly fascinating pictures of me getting ready to go get my drank on, friday night style. The feeling behind this outfit is a bit Isabel Marant-esque with the 7/8th length jeans, the (slightly more delicate than i would usually wear) heels, and the scruffy tucking in of a plain cotton t. It isn't a particularly daring outfit but it is perfect for a night out where you aren't quite sure where you might end up. Now the only question is...can I ride my bike in the heels? answers on a postcard please.

Quite girlie pour moi, non? 

stay out of the way of my fist should you see me this evening

yeah i just like making silly faces innit

Powwwww mothereffferrr

my lipgloss is called True Babe...hahaha. 

mastering the art of the messy-tuck in

je suis en poseurrrrr

even more poseeeuurrrr

i like the textures and tones of my rings with the sparkle in my jeans and the worn leather of the belt


just a sort of overall, posey look, whatofit???

peace&love&don'tdrinkanddrive! 



Blog Fail



Starting something with an apology is never too good, but I feel pretty bad at being such a slacker on the blog front. I have been in full on lazy summer mode. When brain function is at an all time low coupled with the sheer energy it takes to just type, and the fact that my days have been filled with...with... umm.. a lot of nothing... well it leads to an empty blog. So here goes, I am sorry internet world for not being a faithful blogger. I promise to try harder, i'll get better, just give me one more chance. (Wow blogging is really like a relationship, you have to put so much into it to get any results, and unless it's truly great, it inevitably comes to an end. Hmm... I'm no good at relationships, let's hope I'm better at blogging)

Summer is flying by, yet somehow I feel like I'm still waiting for it to actually start. That's going to be a huge disappointment once work picks up again. Last summer I spent a month in NYC and then London, it was beyond amazingly fun times, but it was so active and busy that I got back feeling like I needed another month of lying on the beach doing eff all. And I got back and got thrown in the deep end at work, so I am really enjoying doing a whole lot of nothing, and mentally preparing for going back to work with a fresh mind.

Ok enough of my rambling nothingness. Forgive me again, as throughout all the fun things I have been doing lately, I haven't been snapping any pictures. I suck at this. So here is a little mélange of what has been occupying my days of late...

Skinny Minnie. I seem to be more concerned that she is nourished than myself.  I guess that's what parenthood is like.
VODKA+MONSTER=GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!





Been watching A LOT of hot vampires...


...see. hot.

Lusting after the MiuMiu trainers

Dreaming of the soon to be released Missoni for target collection.
