spring cleaning.

Big news, guys. I tidied my room.
This sadly meant throwing the spider my boyfriend and I (team work) trapped under a glass three days ago out the window. Goodbye Chuckles, you will be greatly missed.
I love my rails, they remind me of a jumble sale or a thrift store which, ironically, is probably were most of it comes from. The view makes my clothes look clashing and disorganised, which is very aesthetically pleasing for me. This one time, I organised it by product and colour but due to my poor ability to commit to anything and my affection for anything in dissarray, it didn't last long.

A couple of my favourites here are: 
1) My nude Taylor Momsen for New Look dress;
2) A little red pocket bag with an elephant pattern on the front which my sister brought my back from Thailand;
3) My UT t-shirt from Uniqlo, in purple, grey and mustard yellow
4) My brown silk shirt with leaf pattern, bought from a vintage shop in Georgia
5) My lovely Sparkle & Fade socks with lace trim, a birthday gift from Aaron
6) A Levi's denim mini dress, a bargain find in a charity shop in Whitton, bought for £3.50 and
7) My purple and yellow tye-dye play suit - surprisingly still unworn.

Note the ingenius bra hanger - thank you. Not so ingenius when you want the bra at the bottom of the heap.
In a dire need for hanging space, I resorted to using the curved ends of my rails as hat and bag stands. Some of these little numbers include:
1) A black velvet headband with 'Megan' printed across it in silver, a gift from my sister I am genuinely grateful for
2) My big red bow fascinator, which my friend Matt bought for me before he realised how much it was and
3) A foam head dress in the shape of the Statue of Liberty's crown, a gift from my friend Zoe from New York.

Due to an unfortunate lack of space in my bedroom, I have resorted to using my mirror as a jewellery box. It gives the illusion I have twice as much, which is always a nice surprise when I'm getting dressed in the morning. Here you can see, amongst other things:
1) A couple of of custome jewellery pieces bought in a lucky-dip-style bid on Ebay, including a brown and gold linked chain and chunky gold necklace.
2) My Butler & Wilson dragon necklace
3) My necklaces which I bought in Sydney which say 'OMG' and 'YEAH' and
4) An apple-shaped comb necklace purchased from an extremely cheap and extremely brilliant website named http://www.myvintagecharms.co.uk/.

And that, for now, concludes the tour of my newly spruced up bedroom.
And yes, I do love tapestry bags.

  1. TAPESTRY BAGS WHICH YOU STEAL FROM CHARITY. Yes, don't think i'm not watching you, because i am. I also enjoyed reading this, because this room is practically my second bedroom. Fond memories here, especially when just you an i shared a bed, probably my highlight of my time in number 19 Duffield Road.

    You also forgot to mention the coloured solider hat i brought round on New Years eve, the centre piece of the room i would have thought.

    Isn't it fun how i comment on everything you post? Just good fun.

  2. pure good fun jack. I like it, keep doing it. I genuinely don't remember just you and i sharing a bed, but that would make sense, right? taking into account your usual tactic of getting women into bed anyway...

    P.S. it's number 21.

  3. They never remember anything because the sedative i use is also a concussive! "Firing concussive rounds!" Yeah, out of my penis. We did share a bed, how can you not remember? Fair enough that girl Hannah was there too, but she didn't get in the way of that magical night we had.

    Shit! I knew it was 21! I only said 19 because Danni lives at number 19, me 20, and you 21.
