The annotated life

Kinda sad because I thought I was going to get a job and, as it turns out, I did not. That’s a bummer, really.

So, in order to get a bit happier, I decided to go through the box with all the necklaces, bracelets and earrings I have here. It has almost nothing in it because I did not want to bring too much to London and I already had tons of clothes packed. I’m really in love with rings right now, but these four below are the only ones I currently have with me. All of them are from Accessorize. I’m a bit obsessed by their stuff, I do admit it. And since I arrived, I found out Topshop and H&M have some really nice ones, as well, but I don’t really want to spend my parents’ money anymore, so they’ll have to wait ’til I find a way to earn some money.

… remains unfathomable, to me, at least. Women here in London seem to be really into them and you can see girls strutting their stuff down the streets in Ugg boots of every colour and material. Well, that’s actually inaccurate, as there are not so many available colours and, as far as I know, one can only find the regular leathery one and the knitted one. Anyway, I have always found those type of boots extremely ugly. Regular boots can be quite beautiful, but Uggs are just horrible and seem like something that would come up should I ever try making a shoe or, I don’t know, a draft of something else entirely. Those were my thoughts until very recently. The important word here is, mind you, WERE.

As soon as I came to London, I would see the said boots everywhere in the streets and would just shrug it off. I mean, if cute Londoners want to ruin great outfits with those things, that was really not my problem. After a couple weeks, though, the weather started getting colder and colder, and that’s when I suddenly realised their utility. Even though winter was still officially over a month away, feet and hands had already started to need some heavier protection. And, obvious as it may seem to everybody else, it really never ocurred to me that the weather would be so cold that regular shoes wouldn’t be enough to keep me warm.

So there you have it: now I’m some kind of Ugg supporter and I am even considering buying a pair to myself. I still think they’re quite ugly and even reminiscent of Bigfoot, but, boy, do they look comfy and warm. Despite this, however, I really cannot see how can one think one may look truly good with them on. If I ever wear them, it’ll be only for comfort issues.

I do love headbands and tiaras of all kinds, so I just fell in love with the items from Bambako. They are not discreet at all, thankfully! I also love a bit of drama, so having colourful feathers and tapes on my head helps in creating this over the top effect whenever I’m in the mood for it.

A couple of my favorite items:

Bloody brilliant! And they’re not even that opulent!
