You ain't born typical

This isn't the sort of thing I usually post, but I saw this guy in the paper yesterday, and since then he has become my new obsession. Liu Bolin is from Shandong in China, and here is part of his latest series, Hiding in the City. He paints himself in order to blend in with the surroundings, then takes pictures I guess. I think they are actually amazing.

I'll do graffiti, if you sing to me in french

Despite the HIDEOUS weather on Sunday, T4 on the beach was amazing! The best act was definitely Dizzee Rascal, followed by Basement Jaxx and Gossip, they were both really great. I was really looking forward to Calvin Harris, but it seemed like there was some sort of technical problem or something, so it just wasn't LOUD enough. Florence and the Machine was absolutely incredible, but I think she would have been a whole lot better had she played the smaller stage, you know? Other than that, I managed to see rather a lot of artists, including Little Boots, Frankmusik, Paloma Faith, and, er Peter Andre. He just appeared on stage at one point, which was rather odd!

Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves

This weekend has felt pretty surreal for me, how was yours?

I can't say I've ever been a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, but I couldn't not post these pictures, taken from the new Tim Burton film. It's not going to be anything like the original story, more like a sequel, which I think is rather cool. Here is the synopsis and some pictures, it's out in March next year if you're wondering (:

Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.

PS. This was my fiftieth post, and I think now I have fifty followers! Thanks (: x

I love that little game you had called, crying lightning

I know I should have really posted nearer the time, but Exeter on Saturday was really good! Unfortunately I forgot to take (or rather get Lynsey to take) an outfit picture but oh well. Here is a picture of her from the train ride home.

We did spend rather a long time in the Topshop sale, I think I tried on eleven things!? Anyway Lynsey bought this rather cool checked dress with a massive poofy skirt, and I got a new boyfriend shirt, a skirt and Barbara Hulanacki bag. I'd seen the bag before but thought £25 was pretty expensive, so I was pretty pleased to find it for £12. It's a really nice, summery colour and absolutely huge! I've been on work experience this week, and although it's been pretty boring, it has given me an excuse to wear everything!

Finally you know I mentioned getting an outfit for T4 on the beach? Here is the dress I got! It's from H&M and I really like it, though it's a bit long so hopefully soon I'm going to take it up a little. Here's a picture, anyway.

Ate a slice of wonderbread, and went right back to bed

Emma Watson is officially my new favourite person. I've never really liked her style before, but after seeing her ELLE cover this month, those Burberry ads and now this amazing Teen Vogue editorial, I think I may be obsessed. I literally can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this (:

I'm off to Exeter with Lynsey tomorrow, to meet up with a few old, old friends and hopefully find myself something to wear for T4 on the beach! Any ideas on what I should look for?

PS. You may have noticed the Regina Spektor lyrics in the title, I've been listening to a lot of her recently, and this song, Samson, is beautiful. I've heard her new album is really good, I might buy it soon. Any other recommendations? x
