I don't have alot of money at the moment so the £85 Topshop one's shall have to wait, Im buying a paid off Ebay for £23! BARGAIN! These will go amazing with my white floaty Topshop dress for the Races! :D

Job!

I have now gained a small job, it's zero contract hours so they can call me in at any time which is good but bad. But hey ho it's a job! It's for a shop near me called Impressions. Not great but not bad, it's fashion retail that's all that counts. Had my first shift today, all i did was put clothes out and put new prices on old items. Exciting I hear you say ha. I have a few shifts coming up next week, hopefully I'll keep getting more!

Check this song out it's rocking my world lately! - Alpha 9 - Come Home!

Louis Vuitton...

I love looking through glossy magazines, the hundreds of adverts actually cheers me up...I love looking at how perfect the people look in them and how far people go to sell things, the imagination and creativness is amazing.
I came across a Louis Vuitton advert, and I'm in love with these boots, the colour is gorgeous! They also do a back pack in this colour and material in the Summer 2010 collection, I wish i had it.

Newcastle!...

Today I went to Newcastle to see some friends which was nice as I haven't seen them in a long time! While I was there I always have to nip into the shops and down the town to see what's kicking about...My friend works in Topshop there so I popped in to see her and check out the clothes and I spotted the most gorgeous top ever!

http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=true&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=174506&parent_category_rn=42325&productId=1726212&langId=-1

Beautiful in ever way! It's 'Traveller Chic' as I was informed... Nice summery, floaty, flowery shirt!
I think I may have to purchase! ;)

Hats and Fascinators!

I love hats and fascinators! As a little girl I loved trying all the big hats on! Even still today I do...I don't care if I'm 20 parading through deparment stores with them on...I love Philip Treacy's headpieces! One of a kind! This is one of the popular one's that Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the Sex&TheCity premiere!...It's too diee forr!

I created a headpiece at University inspired by Philip Treacy and Isabella Blow, as part of an Isabella Blow project...



It was created from basic items, a headband, a piece of oasis which I pushed giant flowers into, in the colours of white, black and red. And I used a sieve as the netting! Fiddly to make but looked good in the end, not practical to wear everyday though!

Anyways! The reason I remember all this was because today while walking through town I noticed a shop which I had never seen before, but was instantly attracted to it with all the hat boxes and fascinators in the window. I went in and spoke to the women running it, she's called Jayne Elwell. She explained that 'The Libertaian' was a place to buy hats, headpieces, fascinators, clips and loads more! But this shop was a Pop-Up shop, open for a week only! I'll defiently be going back on saturday when she has a live model in there modelling her headpieces! Also selling cupcakes! :D Perfect!

Check out her site, facebook!

Ebay...

You know times are hard when the contents of your wardrobe ends up on ebay... I hoared clothes like a bitch, so i might as well make use of this obession and just sell it all... I have clothes that are yearrrs old so it's all going on ebay starting at a mear 99p ;) how depressing... somethings I take out the draw, hold up and think I CANNOT possibly get rid of that, it might come back into fashion... and put it back in the draw... defeating the object of making money and space!
So until i get a job lined up this is going to be my source of income ebay... by the end of the summer, my room will consist of only a bed & lamp and I'll be wearing bin bags, how attractive!
Long live ebay! One of my favourite web sites! How I would of got through life without it I don't know!

Doubles...

At university I study Fashion Design, Styling & Promotion and within this course I learn how to use photoshop inside out which I already practically know but anyways...This means learning how to edit photo's. I LOVE LOVE LOVE editing photo's...because personally a photo is never finished until it's edited, even if it just means touch ups or cropping. My favourite part is editing pictures of people and making them ubber glammmm! Because the difference can be phenominal! Which is what i love! Why shouldn't people or celebs feel good about themselves on a magzine cover? or a photoshoot? I mean it's getting distributed around the world it's the least the editing team can do to touch up them nasty bags or blemishes they've got going on!

I was just searching the web and came across this one of Faith Hill...

Of course she look's beautiful with or without the editing it still makes you feel better that somebody's taken care of it though! LONG LIVE EDITING!

The seasons must!...

I have looked through countless of magazines, webpages, blogs etc and still at the moment 'Pastel' shades/colours are still in for nail colours!
From summery lilics to lemons! But my over all favourite colour is grey!



I just love how it looks so concrete and metal, it's my favourite, it just pains me to take it off and opt for something more bright seems as though it is coming up to summer!...But my summer choice is bright coral which i purchased from Barry M and bright mint blue called Bella's Choice from H&M which is only £2.99! Bargaaaiinnnn!

Shopping trip!...

Just a small selection of my jewels, yes i'm a magpie!



Lately my days have been full of watching Maimi Ink, LA Ink, London Ink... Fashion TV... Topgear (Yes, I know very manly programme, still i find it brilliant) and Glee! I am a Gleeek! This programme is just uttlely geniusss! Anyways not the point I'm trying to make, today i went shopping! And with the greatest weapon of them all... my mother :) the woman who has all sorts of credit/debit cards kept hidden in her purse! It's like Mary Poppin's bag! I LOVE it!


Shopping to me is not just about buying things, it's about buying happiness, who ever said money doesnt buy you happiness was clearly looking in the wrong places! I could go into a garden shop come out with some sunflower seeds and have a beaming smile on my face, because at the end of the day i have bought something, something brand spanking new!


Today I purchased, a emerald green coloured hoodie, brilliant for Creamfields in the summer, when im shivering in my tent! Some pink/gold bead braclets & a chunky black ring, i love big rings, in all colours! & some cream sandles with a beautiful shiny gold clasp on them! Of course i bought most of it apart from the hoodie which was a cheeeky purchase from the mother! Absoulte success!

Summer!

Sooo, I'm finally back home from the 'big smoke' i.e London for the summer...we have 6 months off, which technically could kill me living back at home. I have to now find a job because my student loan has somehow vanished from my bank and into my wardrobe mostly... i have kinda of wasted the money but nevermind i have some pretty coool stuff for it!

I have only sucessfully found one job that is pretty decent on wage, hours and location... but it's working in a childrenswear clothes shop, children aren't my forte, at all!... So spending 20hrs a week surrounded by them will be torcher, but we can't have everything i guess. Hopefully i'll hear back from them and if not maybe they've saved me from death by children?...

Peace&Love

Here We Go Again...

I'm back again, with another blog.
I try my very hardest to keep them going, but can never stay loyal to them, but this time it's a must! I must stay loyal, I must talk about random stuff that I find interesting, I must talk about upcoming trends, collections, celebs and all that jazz! I will try my hardest, because at the end of the day it's only my knowledge that will expand, I guess. I will try and write one post a day. Try been the key word.

Peace out!
