Multicoloured Haze All Around...Part II

The Summer may be showing nothing but contempt for us British folk.  While this rain is making all the plants very happy little sessile organisms - the grass is greener than ever and flowers are in full fertile blossoming mode - we are trapped inside, unable to enjoy the outdoors, missing all the beautiful scents and colours.  So, on a rather tempestuous day I decided that I shall bring the colour inside by painting my nails, dyeing my hair and painting my lips a random mix of colours.

Lavender Dip-Dye Hair - Shoreditch Bitch Style:

Don't be fooled by the camera - it was indeed raining outside...

Purple tips & purple lips:

YSL goth purple

Pretty Pink Kisses...Mwah Mwah Dahling:

God, I love posing for the camera...

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Nail Time:

This nail art is inspired by some of beautiful Hindi (Bollywood) films from the 1960s.

It's so much easier to work on nails that are not mine - the index and middle finger falsies are shown.

And I thought I should include some clips below featuring the exquisite beauty Madhubala - a huge Bollywood star during the 50s and 60s.

Madhubala

An absolute icon, who tragically died at the age of 36 as a result of complications arising from a congenital heart disorder.  I have recently been obsessed with her performance in the epic Mughal-e-azam (Eng: The Greatest of the Mughals).

The film was originally released in black and white.  And while the story, acting and cinematography are all captivating, it is something else with colour.  The colours are so intense.  Indeed it was the director, K. Asif's intention for the film to be released in colour.  Unfortunately that was not possible in his lifetime with techni-color being added later.  There is a beautiful dedication to K. Asif at the start of the film.

...Captivating...
...I love it!...

Titty Much Protilly Fitshaced

Good News Everyone!  Since finishing finals and coming to the realisation that I'm a Scientific Genius, I've been living the life of an alcoholic deliquent, sponging of parental units while maintaining a bloodstream composed of mostly champagne with the occasional haemoglobin cofactor knocking about.

Go Me!

As such, there have been many parties and many party outfits - May Balls, Polo Balls, Graduation Parties, Random Garden Parties etc.  While this provided me with ample photo opportunities for blog posts to show you all how Fabulous I looked there was also a lavish amount of alcohol at said events which greatly impeded my photo taking and posing abilities.

Sigh!

So, I am left with very little evidence for how fantastic June was and how fantastic I looked throughout the month!

Instead, here is a collection of randomness...

Ball Dress + Plasmodium

Ball Dress - Ghost, Feather Bolero - J Lewis

The second photo is the last ever picture I took in the faithful full-length mirror in my college room.  Sadly, I will not being returning :( I am now finished at Cambridge Uni.  But not to worry - my current dwelling comes equipped with not one but TWO full-length mirrors...let the posing begin.

Graduands Dinner

This was my last night at my college...Ted Baker dress (Jamthun Zip Deatil Dress - see below) and academic gown.  Post-dinner, a group of us went into town wearing our beautiful gowns.  Hitting up the town academic stylie...whatever that is?!

Love this dress - corset and peplum - perffffff...

But aside from all the nocturnal fun, I did manage to make it outside during the hours of daylight.

Picnic Time!!

Joules Picnic Basket

Pony Themed Picnic Basket filled with yummyness + Gin&Tonic in a can = Totes Sophisticated

And other daylight activities include graduation.  Unfortunately, Uni rules dictated that I had to dress as if attending a funeral.  Black everything...indeed my inner goth was pleased...but the weather and the celebratory occasion really called for something a little more upbeat.  What's a fashion conscious graduate to do????

We are Family

Oh June!  

You were a fabulous month.  

Here is to the rest of what I'm sure will be a fabulous summer.  

Rain, that's your cue to Frak Off!
