Rock and/or Roll.

Hey everyone,

Just a quick outfit post today.
I've been a bit 'off' all week and spending most of my free time sleping.
However I'd been looking forward to seeing The Flatliners at Trillians, so perked up for a few hours.

It seems like a few bloggers are experimenting with their looks at the minute, and going for a darker look (notably my blogger twin, Claire and also Georgina) which has inspired me to go for a more rockabilly look for the gig.


TOP: Steel Wheels.
SKIRT: New Look.
CARDIGAN: H&M.
HAIRBAND: Marscapony Handmade Goods.
BELT: ASOS.
NECKLACE: Dorothy Perkins.
SHOES: Office.
BAG: Primark.
POINT OF FASHION: Rockabilly-ish.




1: The hairband was very kindly sent to me by the lovely Donna of Marscapony Handmade Goods and I absolutely LOVE it. Due to having quite fine hair I sometimes find hairbands which tie at the top slip away from my hair unless I use lots of bobby pins and hairspray the whole thing in place.
However, Donna's hairbands have wires hidden inside, making it easier to bend into shape. I now want every pattern available!

2: I'm still addicted to leopard print nails.
The blue is 291/Cobalt Blue and the sprinkles are 210 both by Barry M. I drew the print freehand with the Models Own pen.

The Flatliners were absolutely awesome, and I love gigs where everybody dances.
You should definitely check them out:


Finally, you win a (virtual) cookie if you got the reference to this blog.
I named it after one of the greatest moments on The Simpsons.


Muchos love,
MessyCarla.

  2. Loving the outfit, those shoes are fab & funky nails to! haven't painted my pinky nails in a while - you have inspired me dust off those polish bottles. Totally hear you about hair bands etc, see so many pretty clips etc but then end up half way down my hair lol.
