New cooking blog!

YO!
since just over two weeks, i have taken the jump and gone vegan!
so to organise myself.
my cooking is now in my new blog:

www.getvegan.blogspot.com

You don't have to be vegan to read!!!
And it's all very light hearted! (so don't worry!)

I will be talking about baking (and more baking), vintage/second hand, ethics, cool finds and a little bit of personal view!

What will happen to this blog?
Well we'll see, but until then, check out get vegan!

Bristol Zoo Lolita meet! A late post....

Better late than never?

So a few weeks ago i went to my 3rd-ish lolita meet-up, it was held at bristol zoo so yay for seeing meerkats and bats and other cool animals ^_^

As you can see, we are all meerkats now. This is what I wore, I wanted to put a little 50's spin on lolita because I guess it mixes in more with my personal style.

Not particually flattering but it could be worse...lol.

Brogues with lolita = love.

Make up was dead by then due to the rain.

Butt shot!

Amelie looking mighty fine inside a ship window! I had such a wonderful day! Everyone was super friendly and even though it rained alot it was still a laugh.

I'm glad everyone put so much effort into getting (and baking) food and looked so lovely!

I need to go to more lolita meets.

Which means buying more lolita clothing, haha.

Teacup Tattoos, eyebrows and glass teacups

I need one of these for my gin and tonic.

I can't think of a better way to get smashed than with a glass teacup!

I mean in an ideal world i'd have a set of them and a glass teapot to mix cocktails in!

Maybe for christmas? :) Anyways, a few days ago i went and got my three teacup tattoos!

I got them done in Skin art tattoo studio in Taunton (somerset)

Mark and Rob are the two tattoo artists there, mark did the umbrella two years ago with awesome shading.

This time i had Rob to do the cups! I was very happy with how they were done, the colours used are very vivid and once i have the rest of the sleeve done they are going to look epic ^.^

This is the only angle where all three can be seen, but once they have healed i will get close up shots of them.

Whilst being tattooed i was offered (and accepted) tea and got to chat to rob and mike?? (who's started an apprentiship) So it was a great experience and i didn't feel nervous at all.

Which is a hugeee plus.

Hahahaha, so recently i have been playing with my hair more and curling my fringe, meaning i can (for like the first time in yearrrs) see my eyebrows! so i buckled down and watched shitloads of tutorials on eyebrow shape :p

and i finally have decent eyebrows +facial emotion! hahaha

Sad eyebrows! mwahaha

Also i stopped wearing pencil eyeliner (both black and white) Just using a thin line of liquid on my top eyelids.
It looks much tidier and actually makes my face look less tired :p haha.

Vintage finds

So yesterday i dragged my mom to the carboot sale, despite her thinking it would rain, therefore a bad turnout of sellers.

But there was no rain. And a lot of sellers!

I was looking mainly for things on ships, old maps, books on the sea, ect. For my uni project "ill lit ships" (named after a blaqk audio song)

What i found however was much MUCH better.

I have been looking for a typewriter for ages now, it's just one of those thing's i'd love to own, because i love to write, and i love vintage things.

Not only did i find alot of working, perfectly conditioned typewriters, but i found one with a carrycase (it's a junior petite) its TURQUOISE!

it was £5.00

all it needs is a new ink ribbon as the current one has dried out.

eep! it's going to look so cute in my uni room on my desk....

Also my mom found a huge vintage suitcase for £2.50, i found a miniture (A5 size) one for £1 and the book, an old bible dating back to the 1800's for £1 also!

I also found this bag for £1

So all in all an EPIC trip! Though no one had anything on ships...boo!
