Double-team.

Hello second post of the day. I'm on top of things for once. I've uploaded everything onto eBay, and even already have a few watchers, and I've got my outfit from today to show you as well as photos of my babe.

I went to Wing Yip with my Mum, sister, auntie and cousins this morning/afternoon for dim sum and ate myself to death. That's the danger of dim sum, so much choice, so little room in your stomach.
I spent the rest of today playing in the garden with my cat, talking on the phone with Moon and uploading those clothes onto eBay, pretty productive Sunday if you ask me.

So not looking forward to the Jobcentre tomorrow, really looking forward to heading down to Dorking to visit my Gran afterwards though, but super-silly nervous about my Alamy interview on Tuesday, eep!

Shirt: H&M
Necklaces: Topshop, H&M
Bracelet: Gift from Moon
Playsuit: Primark
Belt: Dorothy Perkins (with dress)
Tights: Superdrug
Shoes: Converse/Amazon




I actually really love this playsuit but it was stuffed in the back of my chest of drawers for months and it has a tendency to get a bit 'bummy' when not enforced so not the best for winter, which is why the nice weather was a good excuse. I'm really glad that spring is trying to let us know that it's around the corner. Not that that doesn't terrify me at the same time due to the fact that it will soon be nearly eight months since I officially graduated and, not including internships, will be eight months that I've been unemployed, which is very uncool.


I was so happy when I remembered that I had this, it also makes up for the fact that my watch is stuck at Moon's house until I see him at the tail end of next week. I never thought I that I wouldn't like naked wrists.



My cousin has two young sons and this is a drawing of a cat that my mum did to entertain the youngest. She was kind of absent-mindedly doing it too, so it would seem that I'm not the only who's feeling a bit cat-centric since the arrival of our feline friend.







I'm trying to start to compare how she's grown since we got her, I know she has but I haven't got any real evidence. She's definitely more ballsy in any case, not to mention more of a pain, but look how beautiful and white she is in natural daylight :)




Hope you had a proper Sunday like I did. Fingers crossed for the chilling out to continue into next week, I don't mind so much about the impending stress of Tuesday though, obviously.

Rinse, repeat.

Definitely beginning to feel a little stale and repetitive, I'll try and be a bit more exciting soon. Probably not going to apologise for having obvious interests though ♥

Here is a photo of me trying to show you how cool the Barry M glitter I bought the other week is. Although you can't see it very well, I'm actually in love with it, it looks different all the time and even though it's glitter it's not too over the top. I think that should I ever need something over the top it will be a good point of call though.

This is what I wore yesterday, I love this dress but am so sad that all the beads from the neck keep falling out. Pretty glad I got it in the sale, I would be furious if I'd forked out the original £45 price tag. I really like this outfit actually, I was pretty comfy all day without the usual 'omigawd I'm so hot' episodes that often happen when going in and out of places.

So in love with Models Own Aciiied, definitely a current favourite.

As I said, I'm in need of a bit of a change of scenery but it was Vintage Flea Market time over at Spitalfields and it wasn't like I was doing anything else, so I dragged my sister along for an afternoon out.

I managed to nip into Maiden, which was lovely as usual and I spotted these cuties. There are so many adorable salt and pepper shakers around at the moment, particularly on Modcloth, but these are easily the best so far, ever. They're made by Quail Ceramics, the same company that made my pug egg cup and guinea pig money box, everything they do is good as far as I'm concerned, particularly their new goat egg cup.


Maiden is just very good, every one should pop in take a look at all the wonderful things they have to offer.



They were filming some kind of film in a café across from Boxpark, strictly no gawkers, but I managed this sneaky pap.



It was pretty important to pick up some of Cyber Candy's own-brand cola, so Boxpark was on the cards. I've only noticed the great neon underwear signs that Calvin Klein has.





We went to Square Pie for lunch, so tasty. I also loved the packaging for this milk, I'm not really a 'milk as a drink with food' person so I didn't get any, but how sweet are those cows?



We had a wander around the market, as is standard, but there was actually loads to look at that was realistic and affordable, it's just a pity that currently, affordable for me still needs to be free or not at all, but it's a bit vulgar to talk about money so I'll just show you the rest of the snaps.










This is a pretty poor photo but how cool is this vintage luggage?



Here are some cute tiny milk jugs on display in InSpitalfields.






I did manage to get my hands on a can of Cyber Candy cola by the way, it's currently sitting in the fridge though and I've yet to try it, fingers crossed that it's tasty.

It was a good Saturday afternoon, I think it's definitely time to research into other areas to explore though, everything just seems so samey.

Current mantra.

How great has the weather been for the last few days? What a weird month, snow and now this, crazy. It's nice to not have to be in a scarf and coat at all times, but I'm on edge, knowing how indecisive British weather has a tendency to be, particularly as Spring makes it's way in. Still, a good excuse to wear some different clothes and have a clear out.

These are some photos that I don't think will fit anywhere at the moment but that I like.

Yep, Dolly has got a taste for outdoors and managed to get out of my bedroom window. She wasn't able to figure out how to get back in either so ended up running up and down the neighbouring houses. It was kind of fun, and I do eventually want her to go outside and be a hunter, but as we plan on letting her have kittens, she's still just too young and although it makes her a bit sad for a while, I think it will be easier in the long run to be responsible for a bit.



This was my outfit on Thursday, I was in jeans but promptly changed into something a bit more summery. The jacket will be on eBay tomorrow as I've come to the conclusion that it's just too big, and that's not really what I'm going for at the moment, seems a bit silly given that I wore just the other day, the colours are great, but look at how boxy I am. :(

Gratuitous sunset photo from Thursday, it was a cracking sunset though.

So here is me letting you know that I'll be listing a few things on eBay tomorrow, generally to get rid of them, but also to get rid of the guilt I have over buying them and never wearing them. A link to my eBay can be found here. It's such a drudge to list things but £0 insertion fees are pretty nice. Here's a quick preview of some of the items I'll be listing.




eBay photography is so strange, it becomes a bit odd when you begin to realise how structured the whole process is, despite the difference of ability between users. I'm sure there's a University Photography project in that somewhere.

I hope that you had a nice Saturday and that you enjoy the rest of your weekend. I went to the Vintage Flea Market at Spitalfields this afternoon, but I think I'll save that for tomorrow to save an ultra-long, muddled post. I think for my photo-taking it's kind of imperative that I have a change of scenery soon...
