Keep your curiosity sacred.

As a trainee journalist I need something to aim towards, or a print that I love to read. And to be honest ive never had this, untill I found 'Oh Comely'. Ive never heard about this magazine untill I found it in a little newsagents in SOHO, but im so happy I now have! It such a beautifully set up magazine that is so easy to read. The editorials are about things like biscuits, illustrators, musicians and tattoos, things that make you smile as you are reading them and im sure they love writing about. My favourite would have to be an illustrated story 'Four-legged meditation' 'Scenes from walks with my dog' by Rob Hodgson. He's literally just telling you about his dog Jack and when he walks him. For a start im a massive dog lover and have two of my own, who I miss very much whilst away at uni. And yet the sheer passion in the way that he writes it and the small snippets that move you make this piece of writing something that makes my skin tingle. "For all Jack the dogs humbleness and his quiet appreciation he can sometimes break out into a run, when he perhaps he is overcome by clarity, happy to be alive he is galloping through the pines." You should definitely have a look if you get a chance. This is the front cover...

Heres Rob and Jack...

Broken

So I have no money. However I still found myself wandering around Guildford shopping centre yesterday arvo. This is a real problem for me, and yet, I didn't actually buy anything! Actually what I did do was grab everything around me that I would have bought if money permitted and tried it on, then took photos! Not quite the same effect in the long run but momentarily made me feel a bit better. Here are a few favourites...

This was perhaps a size too big, although the baggy look is what is intended with this dress. Im thinking port royal Vans in the summer. Topshop £29.

This one was absolutely beautiful, however its sleevless which is a bit of a no no for me as I need lipo on my arms, DRASTICALLY! Topshop £50.

Loved this, im going to Thailand for a month and a bit in July and this would be perfect for trekking around the islands. However the tan lines may be a bit odd. Topshop £29.

At the moment its a tad easier for me not to be buying the world as we are currently in that transition period before summer when its still really cold but the sun is out every day. Im also trying to loose a shed load of weight before summer so I can be a size 10 goddess. Wish me luck!

Agyness Deyn.

One of my faves in the fashion/modelling world edgy beauty Agyness Deyn is back. After a short while having a break from the modelling industry she is back and better than ever. Deyn was featured in this months Vogue looking rather STUNNING. This woman can literally do no wrong with her stunning natural beauty. The shoot is very 60's bad girl with floral prints, big hair, lots of liner, bold lips, YSL playsuits and plenty of colour. Not that I dont like the boyish casual look that she normally goes for but she looks awesome in this editorial with slightly longer styled hair and a bit of lippy...

Very jealous of her right now!

Freeze Please.

No matter how many times I say 'I cant wait for summer!' or 'I need to get a tan,' I do eventually need to come to terms with the fact that I wont be going anywhere near a climate above 5 degrees any time soon.  Retailers may be now launching their spring lines but that does not mean the cold is going to be leaving. Winter may be, for me anyway, deathly pale dry skin, numb toes and what seems a constant god damn runny nose, and it hasn't even snowed yet. Grr. As I write this im actually wrapped up in bed with the radiator blasting, but is that such a bad thing. Who says that snuggling up in bed is so terrible? Sorry to those of you who are out at work and cannot enjoy such a pleasure, I am however a student and will probably be spending the next three years of my life in bed, until it comes the time when I have to enter the big bad world and get a real job and I in fact move back in with my parents. But back on to the silver lining thing, winter isn't all that bad. There are many things this season comes hand in hand with, would be rude not too. Pyjamas, Big Fluffy socks, scrummy hot food, Christmas! Hats & scarves, baths, suede Dr Martens just look at them...

Just suede in general really, and velvet, burgundy velvet yum, furrrr, the red cups at Starbucks, baggy tee's, oversized knitwear, bold prints, hot showers after running from the rain, hunters on the beach, full length skirts, bright jeans and bright lipstick. Summer couldn't come quicker but as it isn't here just yet, and to be honest we have a couple of months before it does may as well make the most out of it and don some of these beauties...

Just a few things to brighten up those lazy days. Don't you just love Topshop.

Blonde!!!!

Ive finally taken the plunge and done what everybody has been expecting me to for the past year and gone back to blonde. I was originally blonde for about 5 years, dying it since I was 15. I haven't gone quite as blonde as i was previously as that was pretty platinum! This is just a softer, very ashy blonde that I like very much indeed. Whether i ever go back to platinum/white I don't know, I kinda hope not! Its funny because know that im blonde again everyone is saying how much better it is, love how they tell me that now! Here are some pics...

I got the colour by whacking some bleach all over it for about an hour, then after some rest (the next day) I applied a packet 'pearl blonde' over the top. I really love it actually and am very glad I got bored that rainy day!

Also ITS CHRISTMAS!!! Im currently getting ready to go out and hit the pub, its a big thing going out in my town on Christmas eve, everyone goes out so its a really nice chance to see everyone and wish them a Happy Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful day too! And get everything from Santa that you asked for! Is anyone else going out too? Let me know...!

Happy Birthday to mee!

So the 15th of last week was my Birthday, my 21st. New York was a birthday present from my mum so thats mainly what i did for it. but my amazing flatmates Sophie @BABYGOTHGIRL and Lauren planned a night out for me in Kingston. So of course i had to get an amazing dress! 6 hours it took us to find the one. 6 hours. We started in Topshop, then onto Urban Outfiters, then to Zara, Miss Selfridge, New Look and River Island to no avail. Finally ending back at Topshop. With 15minutes untill the store closed all three of us piled into the changing rooms with mounds of dresses. Low and behold the last four were the best and I was torn between them. I actually ended up buying two, both a beautiful deep red colour. One short, simple and velvet. The other short at the front with the recently popular elongated back and a deep v-neck back and front...

The Girls also decorated the flat for me...

I had the best night! Thankyou girlies!

New York, New York.

First off big apologies for my lack of posts in the past couple of weeks! Its been rather hectic, week before last I spent six days in New York and last week it was my birthday! More on that later!
New York...where to start. Amazing, however extremely hectic. It was mainly a touristy holiday for my birthday with my mum and my younger sister, we did things like Empire State, Statue of Liberty, Brooklin and New Jersey. Photos...
To start off here's the view from the top of the Empire State, we went up twice actually because the first time we didn't really think about it and went up at night. It was so foggy we could hardly see anything! But it was very cool to see the city covered in this strange thick fog.

 Me and my mummy.

And again during the day...

These are only a few of the hundreds of photographs that I took! I had the most amazing time and owe my mummy a MASSIVE thankyou for taking me!
