A Wee Bit of A Headache, Don't Ya Think?


Hello My Lovelies!

I was in no way intending to post today- I know, very bad me!!! Seeing as I haven't posted anything for over a week! My only excuse is Uni work. Has anyone else ever tried to write an essay on the semantics of the English language? Yes? No?  Well, if you have, you might just be able to understand my pain.

Anyway, back to the reason for this impromptu post. I was taking a break from attempting to write my essay when I saw THIS!!!!!!!!!

All I can think is 'WOW'. Seriously, when I look at this my mind draws a blank. Unfortunately, my feelings don't. I can't help but cringe at the sight of those.... things. Now, I'm all for body-modification and what not. I'm the proud owner of five piercings, the soon to be owner of several tattoos, I've had my hair every colour under the SUN and I've even rocked an undercut! But this, THIS, makes me want to gag. 

All I imagine is the pain of having this done- and usually I'm all for a wee bit of pain if the end result is something as cool looking and rad as this could be. On a headband.. Which can be taken off. And locked in a drawer. Never to see the light of day again. Ever. 

Okay. So that's my rant over. The creepy feelings I have going up and down my spine? Not so much. I'll probably be posting something proper tomorrow- it is well overdue after all. 

Until next time, 
Love
V <3

With a little bit of Folk and Soul.



Hello again.


As I sit here- enjoying a well deserved glass of wine after a long, gruelling day of shopping- I’ve once again managed to stumble across an artist who has been hovering on the periphery of my musical tastes for the last couple of months- unsurprising really, considering she recently toured with one of my favourite bands, the magnificent Bon Iver. I'm talking, of course, about the enchanting Lianne La Havas. The savvy few of you out there who may have already spied her on Later……With Jools Holland will already be aware of just how amazing a singer and songwriter she is. Nominated as one of the artists for the BBC'S Sound of 2012, Lianne La Havas is definitely someone who we'll all be hearing tonnes of over the next few months.  Especially since her album will be released on July 12th! Until then though, here's a wee bit of her music to get you interested.



Luckily enough for me, Lianne will be coming to Glasgow on May 6th and- as you may have guessed- I will be attending that particular gig. She will also be touring all over the rest of the UK and if you find yourself wanting  to find out the rest of her tour dates, you can check out her official site: http://www.liannelahavas.com/


Oh, and I think I forgot to mention how much I want to steal her dress for myself! ....And maybe even her hair too? On top of probably being the next musical sensation of the year, I'm also betting that she becomes one of the latest style sensations too! It wouldn't surprise me one wee bit.


Anyway, Goodbye again!
Love, V <3

Hello! It's Nice To Meet You!

Hi!

I decided that before I even started blogging about everything and anything, I would introduce myself to those of you keen enough to read my ramblings. And so, without anymore dallying on my part, here's some random wee facts about me. 

My name is Victoria Warnock- but I have been known to answer to V, Vicky, Vicky-Toria, Vic, Vickydoubleyou and Victor (although the last one isn't necessarily by choice!)
I'm 5'3.
I think my hair is my best feature- when it isn't making me look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards.
I was originally studying to be a school teacher but I've always wanted to do something related to fashion and journalism.
I have far too many clothes for my own good, and I never have anything to wear.
I was born and raised in Glasgow.
I'm a second year student at the University of Stirling.
At least 1/3 of my wardrobe is made up of vintage finds.
My most prized possession is my Alexander McQueen scarf.
I love living in Scotland because the landscape reminds me of fairy-tales and magic.
I generally don't care about what people think of me- but I do have bad days sometimes and I'm secretly quite sensitive.
My best memories are of spending time with my friends- waking up the morning after an amazing night out and thinking "What happened last night and who the hell is spooning me?! Oh, it's so-and-so. Let's go back to sleep now!"

Well, I've rambled and if you've managed to make it through this- Thanks!!!  And keep checking because eventually this blog WILL get more interesting.

Bye for now!
Love,
