you got me electrified, don't stop the rides, i like, i like....

my best friend is hoping to do her dissertation on the idea of how fashion is a fantasy world for some people. i think that this is completely true and its inspired me for this blog. when i think of anything to do with fashion and what inspires me to put together an outfit.. its all pretty much based on an idea that i have in my head that i have associated myself with. when i actually sit here and write about it, it makes me realise i might actually be losing it a wee bit... i totally create this 'persona' that i want people to associate me with...

i kind of think fashion, to me personally, is a form of escapism... whenever im feeling down about something its the perfect thing to take my mind off things. i literally wont think of anything else when im concentrating on anything to do with fashion.

i always feel totally inspired by how i feel, what i see and what im listening to. i would imagine that a lot of people would consider this to be totally pathetic and kinda regard me as a bit of a weak person who needs material things to help me feel better but i think there are probably things that others do which are exactly the same and do the same thing for them.










i think that this whole idea of fashion being this fantasy world is always portrayed through shoots and fashion photgraphy. maybe even shows aswell.

fashion can make me feel different about the type of person i am. it can make me feel girly, innocent, vulnerable. edgy, wild, confident. chilled, relaxed, happy. sexy, playful, daring.

even just by looking at pictures it makes me feel certain ways and makes me picture myself differently.

that probably all sounds like a load of rubbish to anyone reading this but i just think its a bit mad how something as simple as clothing can make me feel these things or want to be a certain type of person and can take me away from feeling what i really feel. i like it. :)

foreign thoughts...

im having a bit of a dilema just now ... grades in uni have been really making me rethink whether or not this (fashion) is right for me. i really couldnt say what it is that i truely love. sometimes i think its fashion...

 and other times i wish i'd never given up music...

on a nicer note.. i cant stop listening to my friends band there will be fireworks. hence the title of the blog. all seems rather fitting.

"She says she barely sleeps and if she does it's fitfully, hears footsteps in the leaves and if she dreams, she dreams of the sounds you'll never speak. the words left out between. the beat of clashing teeth and tongues, the roar of backround hums that blooms inside her listening ears to be the noise she wants to hear. she only wants to do you proud.. only wants to do you proud now."

its been...

far too long since my last post but I feel like I've not had a minute to do anything... busy busy times at uni, work.. just busy life in general..

big 21st coming up in the next week and I need an outfit for my party which i've not found .. stressing slightly now.

I wish I had Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine's wardrobe to dig through for my party frock.. sigh!
