Brush and Floss

First of all, thank you for the response to my zine! I think I have 10 people now, and I will aim to get it sent out by next Monday. I also made my first two etsy sales so I'm a happy human right now, despite school tomorrow. I've decorated my folders and books but it's too late to take and edit pictures so I'll do that tomorrow with some glorious pictures of my locker which I'll decorate like as soon as I get to school and upload them then. Tomorrow isn't even a proper day, we go in at half past one and get our planners and timetables and leave at half past three, so that's good. 

The pictures below are from a disposable camera I got developed on Saturday, it's mainly two days out. 

"i wore a 70s brown/yellow floral shirt with a spoon collar and a 70s brown/yellow circle print skirt both of which looked like dorky wallpaper prints and a 50s pink mohair sweater today and we cycled and went to the lake in throop and went on a walk and took pictures and had a picnic there and there were cows and we picked flowers and climbed trees and then this evening we went and watched fireworks on the beach and ate chips in the cold and ate candy floss (cotton candy) and wasted 2ps in the amusements and watched a queen tribute band and this is what teenage life should be like everyday"


Is what I wrote on Tumblr on Friday, and it was a truly lovely day. Half of these pictures are from then (the ones with me in them basically), when I went out with Flora, Lizzie and Frankie and the others are from when I went to a pick your own with friends called Becky and Laura.

I really love mohair/angora right now so I ordered a 50s hot pink jumper made of it from EBay, it's what I'm wearing above. It was £6, and my skirt is actually a dress that I chopped the bodice off of because it was too small, it was also from EBay for £5.20, and the shirt you can only see the collar and cuffs of was from a vintage shop for £10. The saddle shoes are red or dead and have awesome heart cutouts on them.

Have a good first school term i guess.

    1. Thank you! I'm glad you did find me because I also love yours! That's so sweet, ta, and yes. I always put off getting them developed because of the cost but my reasoning is that I'll spend that money eventually so it's just impending to be spent. I don't know if that is logical or not.

  2. Amazing photos! Seriously looks like so much fun, and some of those pictures are simply stunning! Makes me want to get my disposable camera (which I've been savouring) developed.
    I think I'm on your zine list and I'm super excited!
    Do you really decorate your locker and books? I can't wait to see pictures. I always want to but feel embarassed. Which is unlike me. UGH SCHOOL.

  3. wow this is so beautiful, the photos are just so nice. its unbeleiveable. i love film so much better, the flash with digital cameras makes everything look so weird sometimes, and shiny. But film cameras give such a soft look :)

    1. Thank you! Same, it feels more real, too. Digital pictures feel too fake a lot of the time. Will do!
