Going gaga over LADY GAGA!

Going gaga over LADY GAGA! by londonlydia featuring rubber jewelry

I'm a prep and I don't care who knows it!

Did Lydia solve her 2010 resolution's?

AAAAAAH 2010 IS ALMOST OVER! THIS IS QUITE ANNOYING BECAUSE IM STILL WRITING 2009! These are the resolutions I made for 2010. You can see them here... SO the big question here is did I actually solve them?

1.Get a brighter smile
Nope. My teeth are still quite dull-looking. Lets try for 2009 ARRRRGH I mean 2011!

2.Lose some pounds(@ least 10 lbs.)
Another negative. I somehow seemed to gain more weight. Probably because I'm too lazy and I eat too much junk food. Must work on that for 2011!

3.Make at least 5 new friends
Finally a YES! This year I started High School so I made many a new friend.

4.Make a piece of clothing

Another Yes. I made my halloween costume, I was Lady Gaga (or Lydi Gaga)!

5.Do some community service

Yes! Iwas part of a girl scout troupe (which I hated) for half the year, but I did community service there.

6.Write at least 100 for 2010(93 is a bit unsatisfying)
No 66 :(
 
Fantastic job Lydia! Lydia. You got a 3 out of 6. (SARCASM INTENDED)

How to dress like Effy from Skins

Effy is sooo cool. She is that badass that doesn't give a (censored). For her look I added a lot of leather and skulls. Her look is very in your face. Like "I do drugs. who cares. whatever"

Why today was pretty damn great...12/21/10

1. I realised i had a crush on someone and had a really good conversation with him.

2. Was totally Jenny Humphrey and spoke to these cool upperclassmen girls (one of them totally looks like leighton meister its sort of creepy)

3. Got to watch Elf in Chorale

4. I got mostly A's and B's on my Progress Report!

Red kiss kiss!

Love in an Old Fashioned Movie!

I'm a hopeless romantic. Sad, but true. Whenever I see a romantic movie (Breakfast at Tiffanies) I dream of the day that would happen to me. Here is a look inspired by this...

How to dress like Cassie- Skins

Cassie is my favorite Character from Skins. She is totally crazy and flaky, but i love that about her. She is totally like Luna Lovegood. I also love that she has her own catchphrase "Oh, wow, lovely". I also love her style, its sooo cute and spontanious!

Skins!

I've recently become obsessed with the show, Skins. In case you aren't from the UK, skins is about sixth formers going to parties, doing drugs, being mentally ill, etc. Its basically Degrassi, but better. The party scenes are soooo cool (see video above), and make me want to go to them. They're making a US adaptaption on MTV though from what I saw of the trailer it is a complete rip-off (same lines, characters, camera angles, etc...)

Betsey Johnson Spring 2010 RTW

OMG Don't you just love this line *droool*

iL Bandito Strikes again!

I've mentioned il Bandito before, she is sort of my alter ego and looks like this:

And by this I mean the villian-type person on the right.

These are some of my inspiration for il Bandito:

Design your own Flipcam

If you know me, you'll know one of my dream jobs is Filmmaker. Right now I own a Flipcam, and I was fine w/ its white plain-ness until now. Today one of my BFF's showed me her customized Flipcam with our favorite singer, Lenka's pictures on it. I immediatly asked her where she got it and she redirected me to the Flip website. I mooched around until I found a section where you could design your own flip. Isn't that soo cool! This is mine:

Miley Cyrus is a druggy how am i not surprised...

If you know me, you'll know I absolutely love Blair Waldorf. So here I made a look that was inspired by blair...

Of Corset!

Today I bought a lovely white rosette corset  from Charlotte Russe.I've never worn anything like this before so I'm very excited to wear it.

Minnie as a Muse!

Oh My Goodness! When I found out that Forever 21 is having a Minnie Mouse-inspired collection I got soo excited. Minnie Mouse is my favourite original disney character. I love-love-love her red bow with polka-dots. I hope you guys are as excited as I am! YEEEEEEEEE :)

City Grrrrrr-unge!

Right now I'm totally in love with the whole grunge-y city look! Especially the combat boots/ Dr.Martens and skinny jeans. I think I love this look mostly, because I'm a city kid. I'm from London, and the style there is all slightly imperfect (Unless you live in a palace).

Ramona West!!

Love the Socks with the Heels and the Topknots!

I NEED CLOTHES!

Okay for now I'm going to interupt this process of me uploading looks and telling you guys that im sooo stylish (i wouldn't know if I was, I pretty much known at my school as the girl who wears crazy NEON tights( in blue and pink) its quite cool if I don't say so myself). Did you like that process? WELL BWAHAHAHAHAAHAA cuz IT AINT COMING BACK!!

JK JK it is!
Ok now im on a Tangent!
Anyway, I just wanted to say That I just realised that I have no nice clothes.
You see, I'm moving houses right now, and I lost 2 of my favorite trousers, and I only brought 2 other good fitting pairs with me. (the rest are in storage)
My mum brought all these pairs of ones that fit gross so I have no clothes, YEAH ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Love that look...ke$ha

Ke$ha, I know she's a crazy drunken (CENSORED) , but her style is pretty cool. I like how her style is all against the rules and she doesn't care. The main pieces of her style is Glitter, Animal Print, and Native American Fringe (I also threw in Glow in the Dark Paint for the fun of it)!

Halloween: Holly Golightly

Since I watched  Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time ever last month, I've been in love with the Style Icon, Audrey Hepburn (especially as Holly Golightly). So I thought that being Holly Golightly for Halloween would be an awesome idea. This is how you could acheive it:

Easy DIY Halloween Costumes Part 2:Barbie

Barbie: we all owned and loved one. So, lets play dressup with ourselves and try being her...

Easy DIY Halloween Costumes Part 1:Twiggy

One of the most classic and famous models, Twiggy is a great idea for a quick easy outfit

For Twiggy's crazy eyes:

1. Start by lining the top of your upper lid with black or grey

eyeshadow

2.Line the top lid only with eyeliner (I prefer liquid eyeliner though pencil or gel works too)

3. Apply the false lashes (I completely suck at this step)

4. Draw lines underneath bottom lashes with eyeliner (Again I prefer liquid)

Hermes Spring 2011: iL Bandito

This Line totally captures what I think my alter-ego (iL Bandito). Think villian character in Diane Birch's Valentino music video.
