mister twenty-five.

As mentioned before, my bike and I went on a date today. Oh the good times we had.


As for what I was wearing... well, just an old sweatshirt and some ugly trousers.

mister twenty, you must be my lucky star.

Since lectures finished early today, me and my beloved bike went out on a date to a lovely town 3 miles from where I live. We are just beginning to know each other so we are taking things slowly. I left him well locked up so he could rest and decided to have a walk around to see what the town had to offer. After much pondering about I came across the high street and the oh so glorious ammount of charity shops to be explored/ravaged!! And boy did the ravaging lead to good finds! I haven't had such a good thrifting day in aaaages.

First there was Mind (for better mental health) and it was overflowing with designer things.

1) Red vintage Versace coat. 2) Vintage Escada blouse. 3) Aquascutum coat.

I left quite a share of designer items behind since I felt evil by getting all the goods. Then I found a sari which I intend to wear in two different ways.


First will be the skirt part, which is INCREDIBLY long and considering I'm only 5 feet tall then yep, I think it can be used as a long flowy dress resembling the one in Lanvin.

Then for the actual body part, I'm chopping the puffy sleeves off and using it as a sort of overcoat to lift up simple outfits. But before I do all this, I shall dress up in the whole sari and surprise my indian flatmate when she comes back from wherever she went to.

Of course, there were many other finds. But I think I've been selfish enough by giving a long narration of my shopping day.

On a side note

I'm off to pick up my lovely new bicycle! Am really excited since I've been wanting to start cycling for ageees but never really got to it. This is the most expensive bike I've bought in my life since back home the most they could ever cost is £40.
I'm no expert in bikes but after looking at many bikes that didn't quite feel right, I felt so at ease with the above bike that I had to have it. It's a Diamondback Maravista and you can read more about it here. Weeeee!!! off I go !!!! <3>

EDIT: I just got back :) Can't explain how HAPPYYYYY I feel :D!!!! I've never cycled in the UK before and back home they let us ride on the pavement so you can imagine how scared I was to cycle next to cars!!! brrrr!!! It was all worth it though! I plan to take it out to lectures tomorrow and then some random places. Can't stay out too late though since my lights and neon monster jacket haven't arrived yet.
