Parisian Look for under £30.

I decided today to do a Parisian look, after I saw, Ines de la Fressange on Vogue.co.uk talking about Karl Lagerfeld. She really does have such an effortless look, I adore it! She's been a former Chanel muse and is currently an ambassador for Roger Vivier. She's done well and she's definitely got style. 

Vintage & a Competition!/Give Away!

So I've now got my Uni places, and sorted my finance, and my accomodation, and I'm getting good grades. Time for a new project! So I've always had some form of failing little business going on online somewhere, whether it was on Bebo (which was replaced by Myspace), then to Facebook(which replaced Myspace), then to Etsy (which replaced Facebook) (seeing the link to social networking sites and how they lose popularity?) Anyway,so I've always had one somewhere hidden in the depths of the internet.So I've decided to buy up a bunch of Vintage Jewellery and to sell it on my Etsy site, or I may get a new one, I'm not doing anything till I have done some proper research for a change! But I was trying to think of a name?

So I've come up with a plan!

On the 31st March (providing I get any entries) I am going to run a competition to come up with the name for a shop that sells Vintage jewellery and clothing, whoever I like will get one of my pieces before it goes on sale! and a 10% discount voucher for them to use!

So just post in a comment below any name that you see fit and leave an e-mail address for me to get in contact with you! 

GOOD LUCK! xoxo!

These boots are made for walking...

Eeek! I got the boots that I've been admiring for a while! I went into town with my mum to get some stuff for my shirt etc. and thought I may as well pop into River Island, since I had those vouchers left over from Christmas, and there they were! One pair left, and this usually is something stupid like a size 3, but they were a 6! I'm walking them in over the next couple of days to make sure that they are okay, but I love them! I just thought I'd show you my new baby's! 

On the Third day of Christmas...

I absolutely love these bags! I think they are so different and unique! I'm dying for them to go in the sale so that I can get a couple! I think they would really make a simple outfit really stand out, it's just a really pleasant change to the normal clutch bags that you get. Definitely something for a Clutch bag collector like me to get!

Need! Want! Must have! Trousers! Fashion week!

Joules Trousers Fontaine - £79.00

Can't wait to get paid! I'm just putting that one out there, why is it you see everything you could possibly want or need a) right before Christmas b) when you're so broke you can't even afford a latte! I find this an unfair trick! A very cruel one at that! I want these! There are 2 problems, they are expensive ( but I do need them) and... I've small legs! so they'd come about 2 inches lower! This really does wind me up! But they are turned up, so perhaps I could just turn them up again? I really do love them! They're just part of that easy style, and I could happily wear high shoes with them without worrying, I can still wear tights to keep warm under neath, and they would be quite flattering on me, and make a change from jeans. I also adore my other trousers that I have, my mum keeps saying maybe they'll come up in the sale... I'm crying if they don't! I think they're sale starts at midnight on the 26th December... I am in no way shape or form, going to be sad and sit up so I can get them first time they go in the sale... I am, they're worth lack of sleep! I also do like her shoes but I think I might be able to find cheaper versions some where that might be easier to match with them. I do like Joules clothing, they're stuff is well made and while being expensive is extremely British and smart. Everything I enjoy.

I'm also working on my art book today which is fun, and working on idea's for my pieces for my interviews, I'm actually really glad I have to make things for the interview since it's given me a really great project to work on and a little bit of a direction, because I was struggling as I like to have a little reason behind pieces and when I lack direction my work isn't the most brilliant. I'm going to go into school on Monday and take all my books with me and just hide and sit and work on stuff in their. 

I'm also quite excited about fashion week, my mother thinks I'm being silly since they aren't till January, but I love watching them on Topshop.com. I've decided that next year... the year after even, I'm going to attend, no matter what! It'll be for educational reasons of course....

Today...

What I wore yesterday and perhaps should of taken the picture when I was a little less grumpy and tired?

 I’ve woken up sadly with an absolute headache, and I don’t mean the people one that you can easily solve. Although I’ve that too. My UCAS is still messed up too, ever since my “Friend” sent it to my teacher to be checked, she’s released it back to me, but I still can’t log on, which wouldn’t be so bad but it says that I’m not taking my A level exams, and also that I want to go to Coventry and not Westminster. Which is really bugging me now, since the only open day I’m attending is Westminster not Coventry… pain much? So I’m still really annoyed at that… and her.

I’m still waiting too warm up since my Dad has opened the windows to let some of the cold air in, and once that has happened… so in a few hours. Then I’m going to go on the Wii (if I can get it to work) and then I’ve some more of my list to do, and also this picture to finish off, but I should be able to finish that today and post a picture.

A close up of my pretty necklace (:

Here is also my new top that I brought at Debenhams in there sale and used my staff discount, so it cost me something like £6.50 in the end which impressed me no end. Hopefully it’ll be long enough to go over just leggings or something, but it’s cute either way. The necklace is from River Island and I got for £4, but I thought it would go well with leggings or my grey jeans which is quite good. I seem to really like long necklaces and rings atm. I also want to go in with Dad to town and get a ring from there which I was unsure of at the time, but I actually really like, I’m not sure whether to wait and go in with mum tomorrow though which I’ll probably end up doing. The blazer is also from River Island and I ordered online in there sale, it cost me £30 but it’s quite big which I love and is fairly long which is nice, since I prefer stuff to be long, since I can just put a top on over some leggings and then my jacket and not worry about being indecent from behind.
I've also today managed to finish one side of my business coursework, and I hope to later this evening finish this Kiefer picture that I keep starting and stopping!  I also want to do another page in my book for this years course. I've other than that done pretty much nothing since I didn't even manage to get on the Wii, but maybe I'll manage that later anyhow. I also aim to do my history homework as well, since that means that is out of the way, least she hasn't set us an essay this time, and I am thoroughly looking forward to tomorrow! Even though I need to text my driving instructor and see if she has any lessons later in the afternoon.
I also just watched gossip girl. OMG! Chuck and Blair so have to get back together! It's heartbreaking! I hope they will, I think to take down Julietta and that lot, I think they'll manage some devious plan and manage to finally get back together! I read some of the synopsis for next weeks, and lots of Hate sex was on the agenda! Here is the Canadian preview for the next episode! Sorry about the weird size, I dunno how to change that!


I'm also now about to set fire to some bits of paper to put in my art book for research purposes of course... and then I also want to draw a picture of a destroyed city, and then that should add a few extra marks on to my work hopefully. It's getting re-marked in summer and I really need to do lots of work to complete it. I've also at some point got to re-learn all my work from last year to re-take my Tudor paper which I hated. Least this year it's more coursework than exams. But I'll post a video of last years portfolio for you so that you can see the work I did in my book, my final piece is still at school I'm afraid. I looked at society and how everything in upper society is all nice looking and how it's only when you get lower down socially that you begin to see the cracks in the city. So it was based on high society and how they couldn't see the cracks in their perfect society. It was also of course based heavily on fashion, as is all of my work.
I'm also looking forward to getting a dress making mannequin soon if all goes to plan! I'm gonna save up for one and try to buy one off the internet since they aren't too expensive hopefully. But I'm going to wait till the end of the month to get one because I don't want to spend all my money at the beginning of the month again.

 Quite an interesting dress concept 

Ill, and apologies!

My apologies again for forgetting to do this, Saturday I worked then got farrr to drank, so sunday I was hungover and had work. Then monday I just did nothing apart from my night course which went excellent and I'll post up some pictures of my fashion design book since I've stuck my samples in there.
But today I feel awful, headache, sore throat and very tired. But I've done some work and I refuse to loose momentum so I've come home to work with coffee, water, and my darling laptop and a quiet room which will hopefully help, but I think I'll feel better once I've done lots of work and gotten back on top of it.
So later I'll post pictures of what I'm wearing today though I'm afraid not much effort went into it and I'll look more awful than normal. On the upside I ordered a nice dress from Asos, in the sale which was only £10! so I'm pleased about that if not now broke but it looks really sweet so I'm sure it'll be a good buy, I just need some shoes which is my major thing, so I'm gonna save up and go to london and see if I can't find any. Have though seen some nice ones in RI and Dorothy Perkins but I'm worried there too high for normal wear, but I may just get them and hope to be honest, cause I really am fed up of having no shoes! and they are gorgeous!

And the girl above is off of lookbook.nu and is Olivia L, but I thought she looked really good and that she looked like she was walking to school, although I am jealous of the fact she appears to have sun!
