spring wishlist

Spring is in the air. Actually in Beijing it isn't really, but whatever. Exams are coming up so I could use that as the scapegoat for the 2 month blogging hiatus but I can't really because I haven't been revising at all *slight moment of extreme panic*. 

ANYWAY. These are some things on the internet that I want but can't have right now because I spent all my money from chinese new year/in general on shopping online/in the UK/in general. 

I have expensive taste. Hence 'wishlist'. Emphasis on wish.

Proper blogging soon, I swear,

like the air of december, i swear i remember it that way

I'm back (Back again. I am resolutely not writing the lyrics to that Eminem song.) with a second outfit post because I've been dressing way less boringly lately. I mean, I'm still not at the levels of weirdness I was before but..it's a start. I've bought a shiny black calf-length skirt on ASOS, so that should help with that.

Jumper: stall in Shanghai - Skirt: Reiss - Hairbands: presents - Shoes: somewhere in Kaohsiung

The skirt I'm wearing in this photo is one of my favourites- I found it in this awesome shop in Sunderland for like, six pounds and it's gloriously textured and flappy. Same for the jumper- this whole outfit was basically put together because I really liked feeling all the flaps and soft, feathery things.

My shoes are super beaten up (I don't even wear them to school anymore because the sole's half come off and the inside is all warped now) but I still love them because they're my first ever pair of creepers.

 

Okay so.. life updates? I'm currently clawing my way through my IGCSE preparations and trying not to sob at the amount of work I have to do in Chemistry. My birthday's coming up too, on the 25th so.. expect pictures of Naomi and I eating Korean food and pies at our joint birthday thing (hers is on February 2nd).

Hi! It's been a while since I posted (life got in the way) but I have finally gotten round to it. 

This is just what I was wearing today- the skirt is the new pride and joy of my wardrobe because I got it super cheap at Selected and it's MARNI, YOU GUYS. They also had an Alexander McQueen dress for 500 kuai but since I'm broke I couldn't get it. Anyway, I'm in love with the print of the skirt (even my dad likes it) and it was only 300 something kuai so I'm still pretty happy about that shopping trip.

Shirt: H&M - Skirt: Marni - Collar: Taobao - Chain: Secondhand - Shoes: Rocket Dog 

This was a terrible post, I'm sorry! When I get back into the swing of things it will get better I PROMISE.  I have posts to write about fashion aspirations, ugly shoes, and a million other things so don't worry!

au revoir 2012

This was what I wore for new year's eve, which was super low key for me. Family and a couple friends. Watched fireworks from my KL apartment. Boring outfit, but here you go anyway. It's hard to wear interesting things because Malaysia is extremely hot so most of the time I just wander around groggily in my pajamas.

Christmas presents. I don't know where the blue one's from and the others are from Diva.

Bracelets from my mother from Ale Hop.

I need to get a haircut.

Dress - Forever 21

Shoes - Vincci

Bonus photo of today's makeup with my new black lipstick and neon eyeshadow.

online shopping is the pastime of gods

Some stuff I ordered from ASOS finally arrived today, and I love boxes/packages/deliveries, so here is an extremely detailed picture diary of the last hour. I was too lazy to do a full fledged outfit post, but I SWEAR ONE IS COMING SOON. The skirt looked weird by itself in the picture and I had to try it on anyway so here, have a totally accurate representation of how I would wear it out. *cough*
There were some more photos of me apart from the totally lame close up but blogger is being annoying and won't upload them, so you'll all have to live without seeing my beautiful face for one more day.

I heart boxes.

Anatomicals face wash and Barry M lipstick. 

The lipstick shade is called Champagne. I really don't know why I bought it, there's no way I can pull it off.

Studs detail on the skirt I bought.

Slightly awkward close up, but whatever.

gold on the ceiling

This is just a super fast post about some stuff I recently ordered online on taobao (the chinese version of ebay). They should be arriving soon! Sadly I'm broke now. YOLO.

I'm getting the black crosses.

SO EXCITED ABOUT THESE TIGHTS.

I never usually wear dangling earrings, so I don't even know why I got these.

DECAPITATED BARBIE NECKLACE. Which I got in blonde barbie. *evil smile*

The piece de resistance, clear creepers! The white ones were somewhat cooler but I can wear these to school.

OUTFIT POST SOON.

Naomi

PS: Here are the links to all of the above-mentioned stuff.

• DECAPITATED BARBIE NECKLACE
• CREEPERS (the ones I got were slightly cheaper and a different link but they're basically the same, if you want to find a cheaper one just copy the item name and re-search it)
• LIGHTNING BOLT EARRINGS
• TIGHTS
• STUD EARRINGS

we sure are cute for two ugly people

Greetings and salutations. As I now have a legitimate VPN, I really have no viable excuse not to be posting. This is NAOMI by the way, not the party pooper who wrote that lame hiatus below.
Anyway, these are some pictures that I took ages ago (like a month ago?) when the outfit I'm wearing was still...wearable for the weather. Now it's getting cold again
*retreats into dark cave to hibernate until April*.
None of the photos are very good/get the whole outfit into one shot because it was my first time using the tripod with the camera in the...yeah. I'm working on it.
Right now it's the mid autumn festival/october holidays so I should be posting more soon. Hopefully.

Me in my room.

As I have often lamented, MY HAIR USED TO BE GREEN UNTIL I DECIDED TO GO SWIMMING.

I can never find a pair of matching socks.

Close up on hair and top detail.

I was trying to show the boots better. I'm standing on a stack of Nylons (the magazine, not tights or whatever).

Yay, accessories. I almost never accessorize.

Details:
Top - Zara
Skirt - random boutique store in Beijing
Headband thing that I'm currently forgetting the actual name for - Zara
Boots - taobao.com (I bought them ages ago, don't have the link anymore, sorry)

UNTIL NEXT TIME.

the irrelevant life updates tag was created for posts like this

Hi~!

This is completely irrelevant (as the title suggests) but I'm super excited and basically want to shout it from the rooftops so LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY IGCSE EXAM RESULTS.

I already posted this on tumblr/instagram and danced around school shoving the results papers into everyone's faces and  shouting "SEE, I'M NOT DUMB." at random intervals, but I'm actually just really, really happy with my grades. I only sat two exams because I was taking them a year early- the top two maths classes do Maths early then Further Maths next year (kill me now) and my class all did Mandarin early too.

Anyway, it's super hard to see in this terrible webcam photo but those are my results papers and I got A* in Mandarin overall and for each of the tests, 99%! I think that's the highest percentage I've ever achieved in an exam. Except for English. Mandarin is legendarily easy though, so I wasn't that nervous about it, although there was a brief moment of panic when I convinced myself I'd probably gotten an A. FUN FACT: Naomi and I got the exact same scores for the exam!

BUT MY MATHS RESULT IS THE ONE I'M SO RELIEVED ABOUT. I'm pretty much bottom of my maths class because I'm just generally not good at that kind of thing and hate working hard, so I was convinced I'd fail and get a B or maybe an A. Also I made the dumbest mistake on the last question involving the quadratic equation. AND YET I GOT A*. WHICH IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. IT WAS UNPRECEDENTED. Plus I got the satisfaction of beating people in the year above who'd studied the material for two whole years and still achieved lower grades.

So yes, that concludes this unnecessary post!

I'm going to bury you in the ground


Hi! I'm in Shanghai right now with my family, visiting my dad. My parents aren't divorced, my dad just lives in Shanghai because of his work. I refuse to move to Shanghai because I'd have to do IB instead of A-levels.

Anyway, it's ridiculously hot and sunny right now, which might be good for people who tan/enjoy the summer/enjoy SWEAT WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE but I actually hate it. I miss English summers, where it rains constantly. I mean, the heat really limits what you can wear- I've gone from what my brother dubbed the 'nun on a holiday' look (I was actually flattered by that) to wearing a see-through shirt and a miniskirt. It's all good though, I actually love the see-through shirt, I just hate the circumstances that forced me to wear it. SUMMER IS EVIL.

I apologise for my ugly bra, all the other ones were in the wash. Also isn't this skirt the coolest? It was super cheap at this awesome secondhand shop in Sunderland and it doesn't fly everywhere in the wind, which is always a plus.

H&M shirt, Reiss skirt, shoes from shoes0.taobao.com

wearing urban decay 24/7 liquid liner in perversion, a tiny bit of occ lip tar in a mix of belladonna and stalker 

I look all sweaty and disheveled in these pictures, so they're pretty accurate portrayals of me during the summer. I mostly hide in air-conditioned flats watching Adventure Time and playing with makeup/admiring my slowly fading hair.

BUBBELINE FOREVER,

Hannah
