tea party

apparently, my clothing style is 'pretty, english teapartyishness'
i like that description of my clothes, i think it captures it well.
so going on the label 'Jennifer Douch Clothing - pretty, enligsh teapartynishness

all the shops have summer clothes in and i loooove it

this, with distressed denim shorts + strappy tan sandals + straw trilby


(£25, miss selfridge)


(£17, accessorize)



it's my sixth form leavers ball in 2 months, so started looking for a dress. dress code is 'summer formal', and i definately don't want a standard black dress. kinda boring. love this one from miss selfridge, £35

the fact that it's the ball soon, shows that i actually have only about 5 weeks of sixth form left. at the end of next week, all coursework will be handed in, ending my ict and business a-levels. then textiles exam 21st may, and it's all over.
time has gone so fast, its unbelieveable.



thinking, tan/ brown strappy heels and my pearl necklace with vintage charm jewellery.





i hate this feeling of regret,
and knowing that i am leaving everything so unfinished.
the fear that i'm going to spend the rest of my life thinking, if only.
i really, really annoy myself sometimes.

today i had a bird table dropped on me, not often you get to say that.





it feels like everything is coming to an end.
i'm excited for the future,
it's just i kinda enjoyed bits of the past aswell.

if only it wasn't what you inspired me to do.

asos offering free uk delivery has got to be the best news of the week.
it always puts me off shopping online, especially if what i'm buying is less than the delivery charge. helloooo parcels.

i actually have no idea where inspiration for this came from, but all i've been drawing lately is leather and feather skirts. the contrasting textures would look so good together. i just can't afford any leather to actually make any of these.
one day, maybe.




far left- a-line leather skirt, belted around the waist, with ruffled feather bottom
left- feather covered skirt with multicoloured stitching into feathers
centre- long knee-length leather skirt, with detailed criss-cross pattern embroidered in multicolour
right- shaped leather tulip skirt, with knee high leather look socks, with feather edge, and miltucoloured stitching
far right- short at front graduating to floor-length skirt at back, covered in large feathers and lined with leather. ballerina lace-up pumps.




and she's still an asshole, playing with matches
it's just that he's not around to play along anymore.

i like...

this song, and band;
lace leggings and vintage look jewellery; seriously, the best investment of 2010 so far. £5 from Primark. paired with my satin and denim slip top i made, it's pretty cool. The necklaces are all from accessorize, thin chains, prettier than chunky i think ruffled waiscoats: this is £7.99 from H&M. Can get it in black/ grey/ dark pink aswell, but the cream goes with almost everything. Tunic top's also from H&M, £7.99. Worn again with my new lace leggings. The tartan and denim bag is another thing I made, which has been everywhere with me lately. my uni house; it's pretty amazing, double rooms, conservatory, garden and gorgeous kitchen. september will be incredible forgotten memories resulting in this feel-good video of the week, i promise my laugh isn't usually like this, it was the sambuca shots..


and i like coming to the conclusion, that my career has already begun.
so why aren't i making the most of it?
jennifer douch clothing, is a label. and will be forevermore.
i do long hair, inappropriate fringes, red lips, pale skin, dark metallic eyes, short skirts and a load of pleats.
two door cinema club and the killers are the soundtrack bands to my label
i want richard avedon style shoots for my label, and i want a launch party for the first collection. big screen, showing video of the photoshoot sped up, fairly lights and chinese lanterns hanging everywhere, loud music and fun.
i want it to be big, but with a conscience. i want it to be a charity event, to raise money for action for ME, and scoliosis support

i like.. having so many ideas right now, i could explode :)
xxxxxxxxxxx

so tomorrow i'm off to bournemouth for the week to find a university house.
excitingscaryaaaah. it'll be good though. even if i am totally clueless
'what kinda house do you want?'
me- 'a pretty one'

i've failed on the clothing side lately
feel a major lack of inspiration, but things are slowly returning
hopefully a week away will help
do have some exciting news regarding a website in the summer though :)
but more on that soon.


long walks, with music and good company
are the future :)
(and red lipstick. £1.99- natural collection. seriously, so good.
stayed on through tequila shots and so much more. invest.)
even if they do insist on taking photographs..




if anyone saw my previous blog post, that only lasted about 2 hours before braveness wore off, will know what this is all about.
this is probably the most appropriate postsecret i've seen for us



let's hope i can make this worth it
i need to convince myself, this was the right choice.
