5 facts you probably didn't know about me

1. I share my birthday with my brother but, we're not twins he's three years older than me.
2. I am very competative. To the point where I have to be walking faster than the person in front of me, just so 'I win'.
3. I'm the goofiest cool person I know
4. I've had my guitar for two (or is it three?) years and I still don't know how to play.
5. I really want to go and study at the International College of Photography, but the idea of moving to New York when I'm only 19, scares the living daylights out of me.

I've been totally overcome with photography projects, essays and exams recently. College is literally taking over my life. It seems now that photography is in its full swing, everyone wants me to shoot for them, as well has having my own assignment; which is Pictures and Magazines. Every other girl in the class is relating their project to VOGUE, so I decided to step away from that and went with Men's Fashion and Street Fashion, so that's going well.


I have such an urge to go out and spend all my money in charity shops, but being a broke student with no job, this close to Christmas, going shopping for crap I don't need is impractical.


Again no pictures. I lost my memory stick.

I got these back in September but didn't post about it. I love them. A lot.



It took me three tries to find them, but I knew I had to have them, and went around the whole of London looking for them. (Thank you to the guy in Office on Oxford Street that gave me all the possibe locations he could think of.) I paid more than I usually would for a pair of trainers, but they are totally worth it.

Black/Gold is pretty too.

I might go to this. I saw a few pieces I like. Including this ring:





If they have it, I'll definetly buy one.

Even though I'm broke and have to go back to college soon.

The reason for a lack of posts and pictures...

I recently lost my camera in a tragic accident involving a concrete wall, (don't ask) which has resulted in no pictures of recent items purchased or outfits I have put together. So it sucks to be me right now. Although it has given me time to edit a load of photos I have taken in the past. Also I'll be changing the layout and spending a bit of time making this blog better than it is at the moment.
Formal post or what.

Drake Video

I don't really understand why people are getting all hot under the collar about this video. It's a pretty basic video. Everyone's all "KanYe did it. It's metaphorical." No it's not. It's a simple, standard, girls-wearing-not-very-much video. Drake let himself down. He's a good artist, It's a good song. The video was basically summed up by this line.
"But Drake, all yoy ever taught us to do was stretch."
I thought Kanye would have done something a bit more...well Kanye

Matthew Williamson 2010 Resort

The last one is my favourite. The colours scream summer but could also work really well in Autumn/Fall.
The all-in-one jacket/trousers/suit is so cute.
I'm so in love with Matthew William's ideas

Nike Gladiator Sandals

I don't know what to think when it comes to these. I can understand Nike's logical thinking. It's summer and most girls don't want to be weighed down by huge Air Force 1's.
Designed by Nancy Wu. It's a hybid shoe really. The more I write this blog entry, the more I like them. They're growing on me.

Since I have now finished my exams, I thought I'd make a real go of the summer, which doesn't include sitting on the internet for 18 hours a day. So I decided to become a tourist.(Touring the city in which you live can be more interesting than it seems.) I started off in the science museum.


What I failed to rrealise before I left my house was that it was half term, which meant hundreds and hundreds of children. EVERYWHERE. So that kinda ruined it a little bit. After about an hour and a half, I got tired of dodging children and left. I walked around an area of London I didn't really know (which is quite an odd feeling) and ended up in Harrods and spent way too much money. Oops. Then I came home and had a spontaneous BBQ.
The weather was good, so, why not..



This weekend was fun. Saturday I went to this..


I was pretty pissed that I couldn't get to Leeds to listen to the lecture he was giving, so I thought I'd compensate and actually get to meet him.
He's reallt quite nice, he signed my t-shirt gave out some free stuff and all that jazz.

He showed us a few samples of t-shirts, but I don't think it's a good idea to put them up.

The next day, being Sunday I went down to Brick Lane. Yeah, so that was a bad decision, but Ireally wanted one of those amazing Salt Beef Bagels, so it had to be done. I don't usually brave Brick Lane on a Sunday, because that's just madness.

Went out for a meal with an old friend on Monday. Ofcourse we went to Nando's, what a silly question.

Okay I'm done, for now....

Anyone going? This should be good. Although I wont actually be ride anywhere. I'll probably be at Brixton skatepark. BBQ doesn't sound too bad.

Big Fish. x

I know it's been a while. Exams and all sorts have been keeping me on my toes. But now they're over and I can spend more time of this.

I now have brogues
I went to Reset London and got me a few items from Trinotron and UKC

If you haven't seen 'Flight of the Conchords' where have you been? Series 2 kicked off last week on BBC Four. Go catch up on iPlayer.

I'm done for now.

Now I Dont' Usually Do This...But

I love him, his voice is absolutely amazing, and he sings with his dad. I actually think I'm in love. Damn his fiance

I'm in love with this hat. I've wanted one all freaking winter and I couldn't find one for ish. I don't particularly want one with real fur but if I ever did find one I would wear it. (Sorry PETA) First time I realised I needed one was around October, my mum was watching "Relocation, Relocation and the woman, can't remember her name was wearing one.
I know what you're thinking, " it's summer soon, you wouldn't ever wear it"
You are mistaken, i'd wear it everyday, just to prove my point.



The newest addition to my forever growing trainer/shoe collection :

I didn't need another pair of converses, but I had some left over birthday money, so whatever.
My next buy are these really nice patent Brouges. I'm yet to decide whether Loafers are my thing.

I really want that hat!

Trinotron

It seems Trinotron is going places. With him recently being interviewed for the likes of The Sunday Times, his S/S 09 streetwear collection has just hit retailers including Selfridges. I'm getting a a grey one.

Footwear

At the moment I don't really know the essence of this blog, quite frankly, I have other places to ramble about my life. So I think this blog will be dedicated to other things such as fashion, London and whatever else I see fit.

I love footwear. I'll wear anything. From silver hi-tops, to 4 inch heels.

Thank you Puma x Neil Barratt for these beauties. They are so amazing.

Short post today.
Don't stare at my hi-tops for to long.
Enjoy.
