London, and oh, the rest of England.

Have I ever told you how very much I love Britain? No? Well, It's about time that you see how far that obsession goes.  Beware, my dears, beware.

This is the soundtrack for you browsal of this page, okay?  play again if it ends.  Bang Bang bang Bang by Soho Dolls.  You gotta love her wig.










Alexa Chung for superga, Alexa Chung at Coachella, A Memorial field for Remembrance Day, Black Adder (anyone know where this image is from?), Twiggy, Harry Potter, Shirt by emilythepemily on etsy that I desperately want, J. K. Rowling with HP7, Old twiggy lashes ad (I want them!), Union jack booties.

So you probably can't really tell how obsessed I am 'till I start raving.
Alexa Chung.
Well, she's definitely someone  follow in fashion. A lot.  OH COME ON SHE'S SO COOL.  Her hair is so pretty, with its little summery waves, like the sea on a breezy-but-not-too-breezy day.
She also seems really real, not caught up in being famous.  Which is nice.  And she seems so interesting, an' stuff.  SO, that is why she's awesome.  The dress that she wore to coachella was so pretty, the lace up is the front is adorable. 
Remembrance day is something that the British just take to such a level.  A good level, but sometimes it makes me, as an American, feel a bit unpatriotic.  oh boo.  And plus, the poppy is such a striking flower.... so red.  It's really a beautiful thing.
THE BLACK ADDER.
Well, oh goodness.  if you haven't seen that show, go watch it. no pressure.  I'm a big fan of oldish british comedies, like Monty Python (spamalot) and Black Adder. Though I don't actually get around to watching them all that often.

Twiggy deserves a lot more words than I have for her.  SHE CREATED SUCH A LOVELY IMAGE. Excuse my over use of capital letters in this post, but she definitely is one of my fashion icons.  The hair, eyes, and lashes create something that sticks in your mind forever as the 60s.  That's what the sixities are in my mind, that and the beatles.  And the stuff she wore was beautiful too.  The sixties (you can slap me if I say those two words again) had amazing high necked dress 'n stuff. I AM so glad they are coming back.

Harry, the lightning-headed child.  The start of my obsession, he's been with me from first grade, when all I wanted to do was wear my stripy sweatpants and read about harry (well, mostly hermione, really.) Still, I wore my harry Glasses to school and drew lighning blots on my forehead with cherry red marker.  When the seventh movie part two ended, I cried for fifteen minutes straight.  No joke, really.  And then there's this Potter more.  Which is so exciting~~

This shirt is amazing, and someday I will get it.  Hopefully.  Oh please, tell me who could not like that.  maybe you, but not me.

Twiggy lashes.  ENOUGH SAID.

And a total misuse of the union jack that I felt necessary to put on this post.  Alexander McQueen.

There are so many british singers j'adore, but I'll just give you a few more.
Ellie Goulding, the writer, and Pixie Lott, boys and girls.
I saw ellie live, and it was beautiful.  I'm waiting for Pixie to come somewhere near me so I can see her in concert.
LAST BUT MOST DEFINITELY NOT LEAST:
Heavy in your Arms by florence + the machine.  She's one of my favourite singers right now.

And one more thing that's completely unbritish:
(more like Korean)
is that I'm uber-excited because I found the top Hyuna is wearing in her Bubble Pop music video, the one that says BOY.  Very exciting.

BYe then~
