And I was like WHA'EVA

Sooooo, I must admit I am STILL knackered from Friday, jeeeez what's going on with me?

But here are my lovely buys from yesterday...

I got the multicolor-belt from Rokit. Anyways, it's black,red,pink, and blue, completely tacky and I fucking love it!

Then I got to my favourite stop of all times, Beyond Retro where I bought this amazingly comfy red skirt (for a tenner) and this dress / servant costume lols. I have to say their store is by far the best. In terms of merchandising and the stuff you find (god, I could still go on about that black and red check shirt I found last week) I think they're unbeatable.

Later, in Camden, I almost got myself into trouble whilst looking for my badly wanted Cramps Shirt, but finally I was successful! Well, the trouble was just me caught in the depths of one of these incredibly stuffed goth-trash stores, but that's another story... After exploring some other depths, of Camden Lock Market that is (oh, you HAVE to see Cyberdog, it's like a little stint in hell, but amazing) I finally found my shirt for just 12 quid. YAY! ok, sure, it's not an original but I just love the print.

My song of the day: Sonic Youth - Incinerate

A Sunday in the City.

I AM DEAD! I NEED TO SLEEP. NOW!

OFFSET FESTIVAL

Will be taking place on 30th and 31st of July in Hainault Forest, just 30 mins from Central London and a slight bit more from Chelmsford, like always...

The line-up consists of bands like Gang of Four, Blood Red Shoes, Young Knives, Johnny Foreigner, XX Teens, BoomBox and Horrors DJ sets and an awful lot of great new and/or very interesting bands (my faves are definitely S.C.U.M, doing something beautifully dark and without a guitarist!)

yeah, and since it seemed quite the way I would not find anyone who'd go there with me, I just signed up for volunteering, so I get free entry, food and drinks and I get to see my favourite bands (ok, at least I hope so)

I'm really excited, I just pray the weather will be getting a bit better. English summer seems to consist of one day to be exact. Which is alright with me, but that heavy rain and wind all the time gets a bit boring after a while...

London Rain

yeah, I actually was all over writing this post on Saturday which due to the development of a slight cold (what some people mistake for being a killer-cholera-like disease) never happened.

sooo last saturday i got way before my usual time just to make my way to spitalfields and get the most amazing haircut and COLOR i have ever had! this pure feeling of looking in the mirror and seeing EXACTLY what you wanted to look like since you had developed that thing about cropped blonde hair is just pure bliss! ok, it was some kinda expensive bliss but hey, life's definitely too short for a wrong haircut!

so, if you fancy a similar experience check this out!

after this fabulous experience i made my usual stroll down brick lane when it just started to pour down for basically the rest of the day. but i was a lucky girl that day, finding my perfect red/black check-vintage shirt and the PERFECT hat at beyond retro. I absolutely adore this place!!!

A nice latte at Café @ Brick Lane later I just went down to Rough Trade just to bump into a free gig by Poppy and the Jezebels, an all-girls band from Birmingham which kinda goes under that infamous "underage" label and after having read about them in i-D some time ago I was happy about my lucky choice to flick through some fabulous books and Vinyls. Their songs were quite nice, you should check them out.
