Eleonore gee i think you're swell...

Street style blogs. I visit far too many. And nearly all the time my favourites are the swedish/danish minimalist ones, which is nothing new, everyone knows they are way cool (possibly more than londoners and the french?) but when I was on Copenhagen Street Style I saw this picture of Eleonore... I think she is like the cutest ever. I read her blog and it just is so nice. She has such good style, and it is proper style, not just fashion following...


And on the note of those beautiful miu miu socks, i bid you farewell.

Song of the week...Tennis-South Carolina

Hello again everyone! The past week has been a bit shit to be frank, but life goes on. I figured that I haven't done song of the week for far too long so here it is...
I just thought I'd chuck that in there, I'm not sure if I like it but the video is pretty neat. So umm yeah I think i'll do a proper post after this in like 2 minutes cause I have something to write about FINALLY.

kafka

Hey everyone, the other day i went to the library and got a few books, based on their covers. i know you shouldn't do that but i was in a rush etc. anyway one of them was Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Honestly one of the most famous books ever written, i didnt even notice what it was when i picked it up. anyway ive been reading it pretty much non-stop. its pretty cool i must say, some of the stories in it are like a page long. I haven't got to the actual Metamorphosis story yet, i'll update you when i do. here are some pictures about how i feel today, this was kinda pointless but im a bit bored so yeah...

Song of the week- Shimmering Stars

Hello there, my laptop has currently died so i have to use a shitty dell thing which is like a billion years old. Nothing works on it, not even a sudoku pc game i got in woolys when it shut down for 38p.

Anyway here is song of the week, Shimmering Stars I'm Gonna Try. It's pretty sweet, so i thought i would just throw it out there and see what you think. Ok i have to go now, not that I have anything to do, but you know.

stop trying to be courtney love/taylor momsen/alexa chung

Most of this is fuelled by tumblr, because everyone on it think they are so damn rad because they can emulate the 'style' of the afforementioned 'idols'. Well they are shit and so are you.
1. Courtney LoveHere's the thing, without Kurt Cobain she would be nothing. I don't just mean not famous, I mean absolutely nothing, living in a gutter sucking whiskey out of a damp old bar napkin. So she was in Hole, possibly one of the most talked about yet not actually listened to bands of all time, they are shit. Don't even get me started on her 'style', cause honestly I will never stop. Although kudos to her, she doesn't take anyone's shit and she can handle herself. Also she wrote this, devastatingly nonsensical tweet aimed at Taylor Momsen which I like, because she basically tells her to stop being such a TIT...@taylorxmomson shut the FUCK up you overpriveliged bratty bitch that picked on every freak in high school mention my name again? BAM… is that youyr name? i dont watch tv or read teen mags and gossip rags so i wouldnt know, do NOT still “like my music”please… if i was pissy about every chick that every bit me id be busy indeed your just annoyingly cloyingly wrong.WORKWITHYRHANDS… oh btw i doubt it would be from me that BAM, i think it would be from every “freak” and Fag” in high school you ever picked on. Christ!UGH.
2. Taylor Momsen
Oh look, it's Taylor Momsen! She didn't just change to this 'punk glam-goth' because her character on gossip girl did, oh no, she changed because it was who she really is. And her band are so cool and edgy, no one her age gets her because she is so complex, so her band is made up of middle aged men.Dear lord. She is 16, granted we are the same age, but she has absolutley no clue about anything. She wore a babydoll. Shock horror. Then she wore stripper shoes. Just bad taste. Then her tampon string hung out and she showed the world things they really didn't need to see. Seriously?Yes, she attempts to act older than she is, ultimately backfiring and making her look like a childish wannabe. Taylor Momsen, you are not so different, you were in Gossip Girl and the Grinch, and your band makes me want to die. Oh the irony, thats one of their song titles. Inventive.
3. Alexa Chung
I like Alexa Chung, when she presented T4 it brightened up my saturday morning. What I don't like is all the 'Chung-ettes' I see everywhere. I understand if people would like to take inspiration, but honestly an entire outfit? And haircut!? And mannerisms?! I don't understand how this Alexa admiration has gotten to such a level...she was just a presenter on T4!!!
Well that was fun.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Hello everybody.Or nobody nowadays. I dunno, I'm getting bored of not getting feedback or anything. There was a time when it was like every post got at least 1 comment. And now it's just nothing. Which is shit.
Anyway today On Her Majesty's secret service was on ITV, which is like the worst Bond film because it has George Lazenby in it and he is the rubbishest one. But still, I like the costumes.
Look at the ruffles on that shirt. BEAUTIFUL. In the film though there's an African lady and she has the coolest attire ever, but the stupid internet doesn't have any pictures. It's like a traditional african dress and headscarf, and she's really pretty and it looks so nice. But alas no picture so my shit explaination will have to do.
I need to get out more. I honestly feel like I'm stagnating right now. How lovely.
