Quintessential.

Being in London has made me feel SUPER BRITISH and SUPER HIPSTER so most of the time I look like this:



Also the beauty of webcams means that my pictures are not beautiful, but are quicker to upload than with my nice camera. SOZ :'(

So yeah... I'm bored of hipsters. (Crazy, I know right?) I literally dont think you can live here without a pair of "geniously ironic" galsses, but everyone I've met is a genius, so I suppose it is fine.
I've got totally new style inspiration, and I'm going to quickly moodboard it here, but I might put a detailed one up if I can find a scanner, although I might look a bit like a Tavi fangirl because everything is handdrawn as all my magazines are back home.

^^^WOAH sorry about the long sentences there, sometimes I talk without breathing and I think that is a pretty good depiction. 


 Kate and Alexa and Peaches and the beautiful famous english girls that frequent Camden Town and expensive nightclubs and will forever look sleazy and studenty and young.


Mary Portas, because her shop has just opened on Oxford Street, and everyone in London always looks so polished but edgy. I like that polished but edgy look. Do it with kitten heels and shift dresses. 


  
I hear Jack Kerouac's 'On The Road' is being made into a film? Thats cool because everyone is casually undone, and likes beat poetry and politics and being clever and wordy, and looking deliberately scruffy-inteligent. But we're British, so add to their style blazers, tweed and Docs.






 Also loving the nails on Made In Chelsea, and keep copying them. Rainbow pastels? YES.


AND I'VE JUST SEEN THIS PICTURE AND WANT TO LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT. (Audrey Kitching love right now.)

keep calm, stay reem <3

You sound like you are so in your element there in London!
I also love how natural your writing is. It almost sounds like I am sitting there and just having a random conversation with you. Keep writting!

Cheers!
