sorting things out.

So it's on the up from now on hopefully!

My thinkings done and I realised I needed it.

On another note. Burberry.

I looooveeeeee Burberry Prorsum. Christopher Bailey is a genius!

Looking at the catwalk clothes they just look so much better on Emma Watson.

They don't look so great on size zero girls, they suit girls with normal body weight and curves.

I mean they just look so much better. It looks like Christopher Bailey has designed them for curvier models, they fill them out better and don't make the shape look like it's hanging off a stick.

Hanging off stick.

That's attractive...

As you can tell I'm completely against the whole starving yourself idea.

I mean I have so many friends who just literally have problems with eating. I'm not going to name names, because that's just harsh. But I mean they're all perfectly skinny, with perfect bodies, I'd kill for. And yet they strive to be skinnier.

And a few of them just go on about eating for like an eternity. They just go on about how fat they are and how they can't eat that and can't eat this, and constantly read the calories off the food I'm eating to me. Yeah thanks as if I didn't already know or care particularly. That's the worst part, when they read the calories of what I'm eating to me and look at me as if to think "you shouldn't be eating that" - you can just tell in the look. Thank you for thinking that "friend".

Anyway. Rant over.

Basically starving yourself isn't cool.

I'll probably get shouted at for this.

On to my next point of interest. I heard from a friend who went for a job at Debenhams and she heard that H! is heading out hopefully March time.

*fingers crossed*

I want a baby chinchilla!

Don't just say they look like drowned rats. They are super super cute!

My sister used to want a chinchilla when we were younger and I never really saw the attraction because I was small then. And our mum always said no. But now I'm older I understand her want for one. We have plans to get one for my sisters house haha!

My flatmate and I were watching baby chinchilla videos on youtube last night, way to entertain ourselves I know. But they are sooooo sweet! &Baby hedgehogs.

We were also discussing getting hamsters next year. One each. I want a little ginger one :)

Not sure what I'd call it. I'm tempted by a silly celebrity name because I think that would be quite amusing. Since it's ginger I'd either call it Rupert Grint for a boy or Debra Messing for a girl. Ha :)

I am absolutely in love with this man.

Like dedicated to him.

I am so excited for H! to come out in Debenhams, I've been checking the Debenhams website everyday for the past two weeks just in case and nothingggggg.

Gutted much.

It says February but it is February!!! Don't keep me in such suspense Debenhams!!!!

I've read so much about his collection, I've watched videos about his collection, I've read the blog... I've done everything but buy it!!!

And I want to buy it... so bad...

I [heart] Henry Holland.

I'm desperate to buy the baseball style jacket, with the cute posh girl style Henry Holland logo. And the boots that remind me of All Saints boots but aren't as scruffy.

I'm way too excited for this!

ps. Yes I have just currently realised what a strange word Debenhams is. It may not look strange but try typing it, then it's strange.

pros and cons.

Is it only girls who make pros and cons lists?
I only started making one yesterday because I felt the need to distract myself.
It's really hard to think of them actually. Even if you know the said person pretty well.
I got to about 8 pros and 8 cons.
Bit of a fail there, right?
But then I went out.
And I spoke to... well not the most (I can't think of the word to describe here) - anyway... she's very opinionated. And I realised another pro. In fact two.

1. Willing to forgive.
2. (Platonic) Love.

I forgot that in all my hurt. Well I guess I may have a little bit more thinking left to do, but it might be good...

On another hand I have a very special boy in my life.

And I am very lucky to have him there.

I've only met him four times.

But every time I do, my favourite part is waiting at the train station, the feeling of excitement in the pitt of my stomach because it has been a while since I last saw him.

&Then he comes round the corner and I run at him for a big bear hug.

He is one of my favourites, and I'm proud to call him one of my best friends. He sits through all my complaints and worries, and he's always very supportive.

Plus he is pretty much loved by everyone, which makes him even more special.

I am so lucky to have met this boy, he has been a good friend for a year or so now :).

Listening to Holding Hands by Unicorn Kid.

my style.

my style.

I never really feel like I have my own style yet. I feel like I haven't found it.
I mean the clothes in my wardrobe vary a lot.
I've got a lot of florals. But then I've got edgy stuff.
Some days I feel like going for a Gossip Girl look, and then other days I feel more of a Taylor Momsen, Ashlee Simpson look going on. Then there's the days when I'm happiest in my leggings, a long top and a checked shirt on top.
I never wear trousers. Unless I absolutely have to. I much prefer leggings or tights. Dresses, I love. I don't often wear skirts.

In the whole time I've been at uni no one has seen me wear a pair of trousers or jeans yet.

I don't feel like I have my own style because I take inspiration from other people. I take a bit of that and mix it with a bit of this.

We had a lecture on monday about how our own personal style can reflect the person we are. &How friends tend to dress similarly whether they notice it or not, but it's a subconscious way of showing that they are similar and that they are friends.
As soon as our lecturer mentioned this of course we all turned to see what our friends were wearing... And of course it would have to be me and Irish noticing we are wearing pretty much the exact same thing. Leggings, boots, top, and shirt. We never realised how in sync we are until then. It's slightly worrying. Because being fashion students we don't want to look the same. So we're now struggling to not dress the same.

I mean it's cute don't get me wrong. But our lecturer said it usually takes till third year for you to physically notice that friend groups dress the same... Nope. Irish and I take a mere couple of months. Impressive!

Today I am wearing a blue and white stripy tank top, with a peachy cream draped crop vest, black leggings and black long cardigan. Yesterday after the Irish fiasco I changed into ripped leggings with leopard print tights underneath, and a long grey top with my blazer (I was meeting Irish' grandmother - we didn't want to look like total twins who co-ordinate what we're wearing yet...).
Tomorrow I'll probably go for a completely different look. I may feel really girly and go for a floral dress or I may go for an edgy black combo. I don't know.

I can't wait for the day when I realise what my real fluid style is. My clothes might then all match and go together by then...

knocked down.

As usual I've been knocked down.
I'm pretty gutted to be honest.


At the moment I'm applying for work placements for my course, so I applied to an array of places and have only had one reply so far. This reply was from an amazing designer that I don't want to name, but I was so overjoyed that they wanted me, but unluckily they want me at a time that I cannot do for a period of 2 to 3 months. I am completely gutted that I cannot do it as I would have really enjoyed doing it and I would have benefited so much from it.


But oh well. Hopefully another one will come along the way soon *fingers crossed*.
