Ice Cream Shoppe




Shirt - American Apparel
Skirt - American Apparel
Tie - French Toast
Tights - Primark
Hairbow - Argos

I have no idea whats wrong with me today. I don't quite know why I'm dressed like a demented ice cream seller or why I'm pulling some really random faces in these pictures but nevermind eh? I'd wanted this lilac shirt from American Apparel for absolutely ages but I actually found it hard to dress it in a way that didn't make me look like a bank cashier. So I took it the other way and now I look rather twee haha. How cool is this tie? You might recognise the style if you're a Gossip Girl fan. I actually bought it from French Toast which is an American school uniform retailer and its where they bought the uniforms in the show (minus all the designer add ons obvs...). I'm sure most people loved all the looks Blair rocked in the first couple of seasons. I've not watched it since the crapfest that was the first few episodes of season 3 but I'm intrigued by all this Dair stuff so I'm considering catching up. Is it worth it GG fans?

I actually would really like to own an ice cream van when I'm older. Partly inspired by Duncan Bannatyne, the epic video for Today by Smashing Pumpkins and the film Trees Lounge (which I only watched because my fave actors Chloe Sevigny & Steve Buscemi are both in it, I did not know that they disturbingly get it on). Thats kind of my dream for when I'm retired, just driving around town selling whippys. If you've not seen the Today video, you must! Its one of my faves, wish I could drive around the desert going mental with a young Billy Corgan. Enjoy!

  1. You look goood in a really unique way ha-ha. The colour of that shirt looks great with your blonde hair! GG is just mega annoying now (sorry fans) my two friends were hardcore into it but they're just over all the random couplings now ha-ha.

    Adore the smashing pumpkins song!

  6. Love the neck tie, you wear it well. I stopped watching GG after the 2nd series, the fashion was the only thing keeping me watching so I gave up on it.

  7. The colour of that shirt is so pretty, it looks lovely with the wee tie!
    I used to love Gossip Girl but I haven't watched it in YEARS. The first couple of series were really good but I kind of just lost interest after that.
