INSTAMADNESS

Jings, feels like it's been a while since we just kicked back and caught up!

This week I turned 25. I KNOW. 25! Believe me, the giant ticker to 30 has started counting down inside my head already... Every day it's looming closer! It's a strange feeling - in some ways I feel old before my time (I enjoy an early night and hanging out with my cat more than is probably normal), but in so many others I still feel like a teenager. Recently I've been feeling VERY gawky, unsure and anxious in myself and my decisions. I thought I'd grown out of my horrible emotional/social awkwardness that plagued my late teens and early twenties, but it seems to have come back with a vengeance. I hope this is just a neurotic glitch brought on by turning one year older and not a hint at things to come... Hopefully by 30 I'll have figured it all out!

Besides having a mini mid-life crisis, I also caught the Lurgy and lost my voice completely for three whole days which was pretty inconvenient to say the least. Other than that things have been quiet. I half considered it, but in the end I bailed out of TITP cos I couldn't really be bothered with it and none of the acts bar Florence really caught my eye. I DID go and see The Amazing Spiderman (in the midst of my voicelessness I might add, which caused minor mortification on my part) which was EPIC, despite a few cheesy lines... Spidey: I've been bitten. Gwen: Me too... BOKE!

 Here's a few Instagram snaps from the past wee while...


Oscar holding my hand, nighttime face routine, Chris Kane Galaxy tee, the cocktails that brought on the Lurgy.

Lurgy-busting homemade soup, me as a blonde, 90s choons, me in Topshop today...

Boy London tee and headphones - what a douche, creepers that cause car accidents, Oscar lounging, my dress for birthday drinks this Sat

Couldn't resist a wee MAC Heavenly Creatures collection splurge, philosophy book from my paw for my bday, Alexander Wang Rocco which is pretty beat up now, birthday balloons :)

Double-bagging peppermint tea, @WeirdHorse takes on Call Me Maybe, early night, Jayne persuading me that ABC is a good idea...


This weekend, if the lurgy stays at bay, I'm heading out for some birthday drinks with my pals. It's going to be EXTREMELY weird without Kirsten there... I've really been missing her y'all. I guess that's pretty pathetic but there it is :( I also plan to spend more of my birthday money on makeup and skin goodies since apparently I'm now obsessed, and hopefully get a haircut because it's out of control.

OH, THE EXCITING LIFE I LEAD!



Also, enjoy Lykke Li covering Fleetwood MAc's Silver Springs. I've been obsessed with this tune for ages now and I can't WAIT for the tribute album - Just Tell Me That You Want Me - featuring MGMT, The Kills, Best Coast and The New Pornographers, to come out in August. I still think this'll be my favourite though. Can't get enough of her... And have you seen THIS?! PLAN.

Hope you had a lovely birthday! Your blog is a real stunner by the way! I love these instagram posts, they are all super pretty and it so nice to be able to see what people are up to (in a non-stalker way!!)
I cant wait to see future posts.
