Those Three Words: "You've Got Post" | Saint Kidd

Inspired by the endearing pirate, William Kidd, Saint Kidd is Dougie Poynter's clothing and jewellery line. HERE is the site where you can open up a chest full of wonderful treasures! Yeah, you read it.

























After ordering something from Saint Kidd, I always feel myself counting the moments until it arrives by pirate ship (metaphorically). Then the moment approaches and the happenings between hearing my mum call "You've got post" and having the package in my hands as I sit cross-legged on my living room floor are a blur. Anticipation controlling my every move, it's time to unleash the beauty of Saint Kidd.

 

To the left of the text is the Skeleton Horse T-shirt which you can steal a cheeky glance at HERE and to the right of this text and above is the Flying Cat T-shirt which you can get Captain Hooked on HERE.

The Skeleton Horse T-shirt is made out of a very light material and is super soft to touch; like what I would imagine a layer of marshmallow sheet would feel like. It's lovely and loose and I love the print on it so much; it's hauntingly stunning. I normally wear it tucked into a black skirt with tights and a shirt and what I particularly love about it is that it's light for the summer but easily layered up for the winter! The iconic Flying Cat T-shirt is awesomely unique with stitched seams that are really quirky and, of course, the flying cat that is deservedly so one of the images I see when I think "Saint Kidd" the main attraction. I'd normally wear this with black skinny jeans when I'm not admiring its beauty. Both of the tees I have are of incredible quality and a type of beauty that makes me say "m-arrrrrghhhhh-vellous"... *Coughs nervously.*

In terms of how my items look upon arrival, when ordering online, I expect nothing extraordinary. A few crinkles and dull packing is forgivable (up to a certain extent, of course) but Saint Kidd make extraordinary look boring. The detail Saint Kidd pays is awesome. From Saint Kidd tissue paper (more than one kind!) to flying cat pendants on awesome Saint Kidd tags to hidden messages to free tote bags to stickers, it's all incredibly magical.

I always wear my Saint Kidd tees as soon as they're back in my cupboard and I can't wait until I've saved up the money to buy THIS bracelet and THIS tee. Saint Kidd makes me "ASDFGHJKL".

This post is part of my 5 day blogging challenge that you can read about HERE. I really enjoyed writing this as I love Saint Kidd so much. I hope the pictures aren't too terrible for your eyes to bear!

Skeleton Horses & Flying Cats,

Proud of Dougie

Dougie Poynter's perfection is impossible to describe with any language's dictionary so I won't try and "proud" doesn't do justice to the emotion I am feeling today. 2 years sober...

Being a fan of McFly, living my life with them and their music has been the most natural thing for me, but when Unsaid Things...Our Story was released, I was in no way prepared for Dougie's chapter: the "lowest point" of his life. I was a mess, that was for sure, but more than that I was proud. Dougie, one of my four heroes had overcome something so sad and had made himself and all of his fans immensely proud.

I was in a mess of my own making...

Sat, statue-like in my living room, I was incredibly sad reading about what Dougie went through and his thoughts and feelings, but, now, 2 years on, 2 years sober, I smile.

My time of sobriety has been the best of my life.

In Unsaid Things...Our Story, when Dougie had said to Harry that it was "too late", for a moment I was reading a novel, the world and what I knew to be true forgotten. Those two words seemed, not only relevant to that specific night but to how he felt about his life and, for a girl who sits at her laptop, listening to McFly albums on repeat next to her posters, it's safe to say, I was living it with him for that moment his sadness was mine too.

Sobriety isn't always easy. I go through patches when I know I'm more likely to relapse, but I take things one day at a time.

Maybe, those who aren't fans won't quite understand the severe sadness I felt and the incredible happiness I feel right now, but I don't care. I know Galaxy Defenders do.

I'm in recovery, and I will be for as long as I stay clean, which I intend to be for the rest of my life.

It's not always easy, but McFly's here forever,

Stars & Dreams,

The Girl in the Moonlight.
