Cheerleader Look #10: I Need A Photographer

Any offers?

I'm bored of taking pictures of me posing like a Lame-O in my bedroom mirror.  I Need A Photographer.

I also need a new setting, new scenery.  As the weather has been absolutely stupendous recently, I thought I would take a few photos of my Lab outfit out on my balcony.  The view is lovely...however, my photography is not!  It's a lot harder to take pictures of yourself than I thought!

Balcony View

I look a bit disjointed...head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!

Outfit: Vintage Leather Jacket - Sheer Pink Shirt (buttoned to the top) - My Fav High-Waisted Jeans - Orange Sandals

 

So, if you fancy yourself a photographer, please get in touch!  I need you now!

Frollicking Like A Little Lamb in A Field

HELLO SPRING!  Long time no See!  Yes, I was talking about you a while back...you've taken your time...Oh how I've missed your excited, colourful, sweet smelling self!

Let's celebrate by watching some little frollicking lambs and some blooming plants:

To be young, playful and curious...(Representing for Napoleon Dynamite)...

Pretty, Pretty...ABCE Model (AP1/2/3+PI+AG)...BOOM!

If you didn't already know, I've already told the world what they should be wearing this Spring...if you're in doubt, check it out here.  However, I forgot to mention a key trend that, in my opinion, will always be "in" in Spring...

...Antique Lace.

I'm wearing a delicate lace slip dress, sans heels, i.e. barefoot (Flats are not an Option!), so I can dance in among the flowers and trees...although I stress this outfit is not bicycle/Lab friendly...actually, are any of my outfits? ^_^

And of course, everyone needs a flowery hair accessory complete with feathers...OTT much!

And there you have it!  I am the embodiment of Spring...

...Strike A Pose

Voguing Dahling

But let's not forget that Spring is about fun and frollicking...

Cake Baking, Lingerie Making & Booty Shaking

What else is girl to do on Valentine's Day?

1.  Bake a Cake
2.  Knit some Lingerie
3.  Dance in front of the mirror wearing leopard high heels and a Boy Hoodie.

Many thanks to the man that didn't actually give me permission to use the hoodie...^_^

Cake Baking

Well, not strictly cake baking...more cupcake baking. 

My cupcake cases

I took a Donna Hay cake recipe (simple apple & bluberry cake) and just poured it into my cupcake cases and rather than add bits of fresh apple and blueberries on top, I just layered them in the middle.

Recipe taken from her Fast, Fresh, Simple cookbook.

Nom, Nom, Nom...

Lingerie Making

Of the Edible Variety

Unfortunately, I did not create the above piece...awesome, though, isn't it?  Who knew strawberry laces could be so versatile?  Find the pattern by Dawn Payne at knitty.

I'm trying it out with some cream cotton yarn...I'll keep you updated ^_~.

Booty Shaking

I'm dancing in front of the mirror to Rihanna (don't be ashamed to admit that you do it too!) in an H&M fawn coloured hoodie - it's so cute it can be worn on its own...

Come here Rude Boy, Boy, Can you get it up? Come here Rude Boy, Boy, Is you big enough?

Get down low

Cheerleader Look #7 - I'm seeing Legs and Dots and possible Hypothermia

Warning:  That crap about Spring springing...it was a lie...it's quite clearly winter...a fraking, baltic winter.

Which I discovered when I attempted to cycle across town in some truly awesome, but not winter-proof tights.

Clements Ribeiro b**ch

Now, I didn't go out in these tights and hot pants, although the thought did cross my mind.  In fact, I went out in a black turtle neck dress (and chain), knee-high suede boots, tux jacket (held together with a safety pin - buttons are so 2000), and my Cossack B**ch Hat (r'prasentin' fo' ma' Kossaks).

Who needs buttons?

Cossack Gangsta

Be warned - hypothermia kills...even those that dress in a fashionably inappropriate way.

Spring is in the Air

Spring is right around the corner...some plants have even started to burst into flower, which as a plant scientist I think is pretty f**ked up, January is far too early for that sort of thing - get back to your senescent state.

But botany aside, with a new season comes a new fashion - shrug of the old, drab thick winter ankle length blacks, greys and navys and enter into the vibrant shapes and hues of spring - we're talking candy carnation couture here.

This is my favourite season - the weather dictates that hemlines aren't so short you have to bear all yet the colours are like a botanic garden in bloom (forever a botanist!) and bring some light into what seems like an eternal winter.

And I know what you are all dying to know...what will I be wearing to celebrate this season's sweet return to life?

Peplums:

Not only is it a great way to accentuate your waist but it's such a cute word (I ♥ plums).

Moving on to the next point - colours:

Pistachio:

Now, Lady Gaga mentions mint green being the colour of next season - I beg to differ...well I don't beg - she's just misinformed - it's pistachio.  I love all the pastels - pink, apricot, peach, lilac, lavender, lemon yellow, sky blue - but I am slightly obsessed with pistache. 

Versace S/S 2012

ASOS Collection

And onto shoes:

Mules are back in...but with a twist.  I'm loving the KG*Kurt Geiger metallic toe-capped version and Miu Miu mules are phenomenal.  It's trends like this that make me happy I was born before the 90s - I have so many mules in my closet that can now see the light of day.

KG* Kurt Geiger Mules

Stilettos - I've always been more of chunky heel kind of gal (less likely to break your ankles) but Prada's Cadillac Stilettos have me wanting to dice with death.

And, of course, spring would not be complete without floral patterns, courtesy of Christopher Kane (S/S 2012):

And now it's my turn:

 Shiny, flowery, sparkly jewellery!

The ring I'm wearing is probably the prettiest knuckle duster you'll ever see, it's also the fiercest - those sharp points will take your eye out.

Lavender Bows

Mirror, Mirror on the wall.  Who has the cutest lavender shoes of them all?...Er...ME!
