Meat dress just too Gaga?

It's out there, contemporary and made of 100% livestock. Controversial? It goes without saying, but whether or not it can be described as fashion is a matter that is very much up for debate and it is being just that, debated. It's been front page news in most newspapers since the VMA's a few weeks ago and has flared animal rights protest as well as bemusing thousands of people wondering what the statement was, if there even was one. The theories have ranged from the more obvious like anti-fashion to the less obvious like how the US army's view on homosexuality. Personally, i don't understand why we feel the need to find hidden meanings or statements behind things, some things in life exist simply to be beautiful and us picking them apart often takes away the beauty. Some people might disagree that the 'meat dress' is a thing of beauty, but art is personal and i don't think people would be so quick to say Picasso's abstract paintings aren't art. The only problem i see with her dress is isn't it a waste of meat...? Love and stuff x

stipey jeans anyone...?

Turns out my computer has broken, meaning i can no longer blog from the comfort of my bed and have had to leave the house to find another computer to keep my approximately 0 readers updated.
But anyway, I'm roughly two weeks into college and I'm wondering if it's too early to bring out the florescent stripey jeans? Now i know I'm completely backtracking after in my previous post saying how bored i was of stripes, but these jeans are in no way a safe fall back option, they are pretty out there. I have one red and black pair from Camden market which used to be my brothers when he was going through a 'grunge' phase and a green and black pair from the North Lanes in Brighton. I love them, but i constantly get weird looks when i wear them out and I'm not sure how well they will go down in college, especially since i have only just started making friends. Maybe i will leave it a few weeks...
I will leave you with pictures of my lovely jeans, they're really old, but seeing as i can't blog from my own computer anymore it's the best i can do for now. Love and Stuff x

Beautiful, beautiful brogues...

I would like to formally welcome my beautiful new brogues to my excessive shoe collection... Brown with patch work roses, the perfect combination of masculine and feminine. Granted i probably didn't need a new pair of shoes (on a rough count I'm going with having at least 16 pairs) but they were just too beautiful to resist; walking around in them today every time i looked down a fell a little bit more in love. Besides brogues are a classic and they can look formal and go with practically everything!
On a different subject entirely, i feel the need to tell you about my Friday night out in Essex. As it turns out it is the place to be if you want to end the night watching your brother in the back of a police car being driven back to tesco's where you had gone to feed his ridiculous appetite on the way back from the pub when some abusive 14 year olds had attempted and failed at starting a fight, ending with them telling the police your brother had 'slapped' them...Fun night all round.

beanies

In typical English style the weather at the moment is being very unpredictable. But seeing as September has arrived I'm pretty sure nobody expects it to be very warm anymore, which is disappointing, seeing as i absolutely love the summer. But winter being around the corner does have some plus sides, like the fact that you can wear woolly hats! Hats are my absolute favourite thing to wear, in the summer i wear them in those long evenings but in the winter I'm hardly ever out of one, including when i sleep. Now, i have three fall back hats at the moment, my grey topshop slouchy beanie, my bright yellow topman slouchy beanie and of course the river island panda hat. My collection of winter hats is pretty big, but these three are the ones that i wear the most. Hats are pretty difficult to pull off properly and I'm not sure i do them justice to be honest, i am constantly reminded that i look like a gnome when i wear my slouchy ones, but i just don't care. They keep me so warm and i just love them. This winter I'm in search for a cable knit slouchy one with a bobble, maybe in blue...
You will have to excuse the pictures, i didn't have much time to take them, so they aren't very good. Love and stuff x

Stripes...

Don't get me wrong, i love stripes as much as the next person, they're aways a safe option. Everybody can rock a casual stripe. But they have been in high fashion for so long it's getting boring. First stripes, then nautical style, which is, let's face it, mainly stripes. Since when were fashion designers creatures of habit?
Here's me wearing stripes, just to proove that I'm not completely anti-stripe :)

Good morning:)

Good morning blogging world,
here's my first blog...
I'm Abigaillucy, i like music and friendly people and sunrises and pokemon and photography. I'm 16 and i don't have anything interesting to blog about but I'm going to attempt to anyway.
I'm currently listening to sail by the stars and avoiding tidying my room. I'm kind of unreliable and just generally don't care.
That's all i have to say right now, i will write again if i ever think of something interesting to write.
Love and stuff x
