playtime on polyvore.

i need the ocean, or its sand, or the high that i felt when i first held your hand. by mm-megan featuring Opening Ceremony shoes

So, the sad, sad truth is that I spend most of my time playing on polyvore rather than actually working towards my A Levels. But that's okay. It's not like they're important or anything.

I just thought I'd incorporate those amazing sandals by Opening Ceremony I mentioned here into a set, and show you guys how I'd wear them. I also could not resist throwing in an image of the first generation of Skins, because I finished the first and second season recently and cried like a baby.

And just because I need some eye candy at the moment, here is my object of desire, Joe Dempsie (Chris Miles from Skins):

This is an Alviero Martini two pocket miniature backpack.

I have been lusting after it for little over four months after it randomly appeared in a vintage store less than ten minutes away from my house. I thought I didn't have the money to pay for it, but I've looked at all my pocket money and have realised that I actually do.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-

I WANT A WOLF SHIRT.

If this doesn't make your day, I don't know what the hell will.

"I hope there's an explanation for this," he said testily, tucking his arms around himself to brace against the chilly wind. "Something other than you're a recently paroled psychopath and I should be alerting the authorities."

"First month of parole's always tough," the redhead agreed.

i even hid the small comma and its tail, but the future that awaited me became a full stop.

If there's one thing you need to know about me, it's the fact that I'm kind of obsessed with certain aspects of Asian culture. This covers a ridiculous spectrum, from future husbands/male idols to dramas, from clothing to food, etc.

I've always been omega interested in Asian music, since music has been a big part of my barely lived life, and there's one band who recently caught my eye.


This is Epik High.

They're a South Korean band and although the members aren't particularly pretty, they're really amazing at what they do- I think the music industry definitely needs more talent, rather than sex appeal. One of the members, Tablo, actually went to Stanford for english literature and this is why their English lyrics do not suck (do not even get me started on Hug by DBSK. I love them, but it was painful.)

The ending of this music video (Run - Epik High) will drive you absolutely crazy, my friend actually cried when she saw it this morning in our common room. It's been filmed so well- when I watched it again, the stills leave all these subtle hints: like how they only focus on the upper half of the boy's body and his left leg.

She had never been very expressive with her emotions, but he could always read her like a book - wayward punctuations, the detached relationship between words and sentences - and something told him that if he looked at her face right now, it'd be wearing an expression that meant her heart was breaking, and even though he could quote Chaucer and give shots and care for a chemotherapy patient, he didn't know how to deal with that.

Your broken heart was your own to bear and bury.

a voice like this could calm me in an A level exam.

I was browsing youtube (as I usually do when I have piles of homework/revision to do) and stumbled upon Hannah Trigwell. She's a street musician in Leeds.

Her voice is so clean and pure. I couldn't stop watching her videos. She's been signed to Hear Me Roar management and according to her website, she's going to release an EP very soon- which means an incredibly happy albeit lethargic teenager.
