Today's boot lust

Added to the boot wish list... although I think at least 2 must be purchased at some point (the blue ones :D)

H&M 

metal guru

I take a lot of style inspiration from fabulous men. Aside from Keef and Jimi (as if you hadn't guessed already :P) I  lurve love Marc Bolan's style, and this started back when I was little and thought the dude was a lady...

Back in the day my mum got this Virgin records Glam Rock video to take her back to her glam rockin' twenteens and this is now a real childhood memory for me (except the video was tragically eaten by my VHS player two years ago *wipes tear*. I was mesmorised by Gary Glitter's huge silver platforms and the tiger motif bodysuit that Brian Connolly wore in a live performance of 'Hellraiser'. I did some drawings for an imaginary label called 'Jeepster' that largely consisted of flares and top hats with big mirror discs a-la Slade, ha if only I could do that in reality. 

But the one thing, perhaps not particularly exciting, that has stuck with me is the outfit that Marc Bolan wore in a video for 'Get it On'. I have never found a replica of that Rupert the Bear t-shirt. If anybody knows where I can find one of these please tell me immediately and I will forever be in your debt! Tee hee.

free cocktails, party rings and Disney

Had the best night last night. Went to a fabulous cocktail bar in London with Froucy (view here blog here it's good!) and her flatmates. Had free cocktails, the yummiest being a short amaretto sweet one which was heaven and a tall slushy mint one - simply gorgeous! After that Froucy and I went onto a friend's birthday house party where we stayed up until the early hours having too much Cava, dancing to cheesy classics and doing elaborate performances of various Disney songs! I love that Disney never grows old and that I can still leap around singing songs from The Lion King in my twenties :P

Froucy and I stayed in Mat's bed and woke up to Jim Morrison, never a bad thing.

On another note, the fringed jacket has been purchased.. 

Today's boot lust

I have been searching for a pair of boots exactly like this for agesss. And finally found them at Jones the Bootmaker. At £99 I may be waiting a while for them, unless I can make a nice sum on ebay this week. They will be mine! (YES, they are another pair of Chelsea boots. I should name my blog "Eleanor Put Your Chelsea Boots On"...)

Live like a Cavewoman

For some reason I wasn't my usual negative self this week - it's like someone spiked my drink with a happy pill. I think the fact things had calmed down on the stress front at work really really helped, but I had a really positive week. And, unusually, I got to catch up with so many friends on three occasions. So I don't have my usual Sunday night blues - it feels good! I only hope it lasts..

Anyway, in order to try and retain this new-found positivity I'm going to try being a Cavewoman. Haha, no not literally. I read a very interested article in Glamour magazine about how if women who suffer from anxiety, stress and fatigue would only live like the Cave-folk did then they would all be happier and healthier. Read about it all in the article here. It's pretty obvious stuff like not eating hydrogenated foods, loads of sugar and caffeine, getting exercise and actually going out and seeing people - but I need to start doing all of these things and plus - I like the cavewoman spin! Let's see if it works, and lasts!

my space

Just a little peek inside my little room. I've been back at home for a year after having my own house for three, I really miss the space so I pay a lot of attention to the little details in my small space to make it my own. 

I love vintage photos and these frames were just perfect for them. The frame is from M&S.

My mini Harley

My love for animal prints and sequins extends to my room as well as my wardrobe. This is the comfiest throw ever. 

This champagne has been here for nearly a year... just waiting for the right excuse to crack it open. So for now it can be used as a door stop...

Few vinyls from my (very small) collection

And the jumbled Narnia tiny room in the wall that is my closet. You can stand up in here and get lost at the back.
