THE GOOD TIMES ARE KILLING ME

I have gone on a shopping ban for the next month. Good thing I went shopping last weekend. I've got loads of stuff I want to incorporate into the blog, so I'm sure I can keep the vibe going without resorting to the petty exchange of tender to pique your interest (here's hoping ). And here's today's look:

HIS WAS A GREAT SIN WHO FIRST INVENTED CONSCIOUSNESS. LET'S LOSE IT FOR A FEW HOURS.

I'm currently enamoured of dark dark DARK matte lipstick. I bought some really nice deep plum lipstick the other day which I'm going to try and figure out how to pull off in a future FOTD. Inspiration: Drew Barrymore, see beloooow. 

Feeling a little sick today, so I'm going to watch Mad Love and then go to bed!

Love,

DO YOU WANT THE WORLD INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY!?

Hello Beetles,

Take a moment to revel in the glory of chunky platforms with me courtesy of Rachel Comey. Love these loads, I just wish they had an open toe to counter their bulk. I quite like chunky shoes and boots. I find they balance everything out.  Anyways, I hate wobbling around on matchsticks.

February. Get ink, shed tears.

Write of it, sob your heart out, sing,

While torrential slush that roars

Burns in the blackness of the spring.]
