Kitty Daisy and Lewis

Did anybody watch the Natalie Cassidy being British program thing? Nah me neither, I dont even know who she is, why she deserves a tv show or why we need a program on Britishness...anyway, my boyfriend alerted me to the fact that Kitty Daisy and Lewis were on it! So I watched it and it was actually really good! Apart from the awful bit at the end where the natalie woman is being patronising and all that malarky

Ever since I saw it I literally havnt stopped listning to them...I can't wait to see them at the Camden Crawl...it also alerted me to two facts:

1. we should all say "hoo-ha" a lot more
and
2. I really want a leopard rug like this:















I saw a lion rug at Spitalfields on antique day, that will suffice - for some reason I have no problems with stuffed things, I'm not sure why it just really doesn't disgust me at all and I really want a proper stuffed lion or a crow or something, just as long as it was vintage taxidermy, you know? 

anyway! Lewis went past Superette last week and into the vintage shop next door and we all got a little excited! "Thats Lewis from Kitty Daisy and Lewis!!!!" "OMG!!!!" 

they really are the best :D




Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Here is me being a lucky girl with my eggs!
















The Mini Eggs tube is almost finished, feeling a bit sick! I made carrot and walnut cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting (that went
 wrong! it was more of a syrup) yesterday with my bf also so its been a bit of a sweets overload

Here are some Easter cupcakes done properly by Leona (miss Lady Luck herself - I'm currently interning over my holidays!)















The chicks were so cute! But Sam's fell apart and Lucy got her's wet so it looked melted and hilarious! Mine was called Abraham Delacey Giosapicase Thomas O'Maley, O'Maley The Alley Cat (which is what Id call a cat if I had one, Abe for short though)

Hope you had lots of chocolates and cupcakes!

eeksph

I really need to get my bloggingness together and start blogging!

I got my hair all cut off - its always the way isn't it, something in your life changes and (as a girl anyway) you get a dramatic haircut! 

So I just had loads lopped off!














I sort of feel like I need to go in a completely different direction and stuff cus atm im really not cutting the mustard! 

I pretty much got rid of half my wardr
obe today...literally drawers and half of my wardrobe empty! I just really dont feel like the person I was when I bought them and so cannot wear them anymore in some wierd kind of way, maybe I have too much stuff anyway who knows.

This is me now with my hair grown into a bit! In only 3 weeks aswell its a bit fustrating that my hair grows so darn quickly!

Thank you mr Yves Saint Laurant

Im so chuffed today I managed to get a free Yves Saint Laurant tote bag and book and usb pen! 
I saw a mini note of it in the London Lite and sniffing a freebee I knew had to be mine I set off to get it! Me and my flatmate spent quite a long time looking around for where they were giving them out and finally stumbled across the YSL ladies in black bomber jackets - I never give up when freebees are involved!















although the bag is useful I think the USB pen is my favourite - heart shaped especially for today!














This is my new dress from Catch 22 on Carnaby street - 70% discounted!

Cry-Baby

I have a new favourite film!!! (and director)

I only got Cry-Baby on monday and i watched it three times in a row and am trying not to watch it again because i dont want to spoil that new film feeling! these are a couple of reasons why I love the film:

1. its set in the fifties! Everyone loves the fifties! 
2. seriously amazing music
3 "you got it alisson, you got it RAWWW!" (if anybody said this to me i would spontaniously combust with pleasure perhaps - why cant i be RAWWW?)
4. Iggy Pop!!!
5. Johnny Depp looking like this: 


















6. 'tis a John Waters film and he is seriously becoming my favourite director
7. fifties singing and dancing and extra slimy kissing with tongues!


So theres no reason for people to not see it!
Next time you see me I intend to look like this:















...think I might watch it now...

on the plus side I managed to get the snow twice  - deep deep snow in london and in my hometown too when i went home at the weekend.

My boyfriend came down to see me and we made these:

snow snail and freaky ass monkey penguin 




















In London there was the most snow in 18 years or something and on tuesday we found lots of these had popped up around london:
