I Put A Spell On You

 

• Dress (modified by me) from East End Thrift Store, £1
• Jacoby Body Harness from Ivory Jar, £45
• Ankle boots from Topshop, £??
• Hat from H&M, £??

I've always been the sort of person to buy clothes to customise but then never gets around to it. Not this time. I transformed a crappy pink floral dress I bought for £1 into something I would actually wear and all I had to do was summon the Dylon Demon. 

A photo what the dress looked like before - photobombed by Rexy.

The innards of the fabric cauldron.

Dying the dress what fairly easy - I just followed the instructions on the packet and hoped for the best. I had to dye the dress twice though because the first time I clumsily made a noticeable black patch, oops. 

My favourite part of the dying process was washing out the dye afterwards - such cool splash patterns!

Shouts to Ivory Jar for lending me the amazing harness.

Does anyone else plan fancy dress outfits even though they have nowhere to wear them to? Is that weird? To be honest I'd totally wear this to a non-fancy dress event too.

As promised - here are more images from my collaboration with Bill+Mar - you can buy the main pieces that I'm wearing from their shop. These aren't all the images, there were so many good or funny ones that'd it'd take forever to edit and post them all. Saying that, some of these images are completely unedited. If you want to see more - keep an eye out on the Bill+Mar social media channels. 

Photography by Anna Yeung, styling and everything else by me.

I love the how the colours from the jacket fade perfectly into the skirt

I've been featured and interviewed on the Bill + Mar blog! Not only that but I modelled, styled and did the makeup and art direction for the accompanying photos. All the photos were taken either in my house or round the corner on Brick Lane and were taken by Anna Yeung.

Ghost of Xmas Present

Maisy under last year's tree =^.__.^=

'Tis the season to be bored because everyone's doing family-related stuff. Don't get me wrong - I love coming back to my hometown to see my cat and raid the fridge, but other than that home is definitely not sweet.

If I wasn't constantly giving off Scrooge-vibes this would be how my perfect Christmas day would go down:

My pastel Christmas tree would be up and decorated with Slayer themed baubles and I'd be stuffing my face with chocolate whilst watching the Most Haunted Christmas Special DVD in my limited edition pink dinosaur kigu.

For those of you who actually enjoy the festive season -- Merry Christmas! Have a good one.

On the walk back home from my slack-free internship yesterday, I stopped off at the Old Truman Brewery to ogle at Stevie Gee's motorbike-inspired solo show. His drawing style is fun and I love his use of colour, but my personal favourite was the customised actual-real-life motorbike illustrated with a cat-head on the most perfect gradient I've ever seen. If I ever have a mid-life crisis, it's the bike I'm going to get. 

Gift shop featuring prints, tees, beanies, patches and zines. The cat shirt was so good!

If reincarnation is a thing I want to come back as this bike because it's the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life

Could someone please get me the pink helmet? I promise to wear it all the time, even to the supermarket or in the shower.

Mr. Gee was there himself, he gave us these stickers and wrote his website on the back in pencil.

Shouts to Nick for alerting us to this show on his instagram.
