It Couldn't Be......

I can't believe what i am reading, it's like a dream come true! Matthew Williamson collaborating with H&M. How very exciting!! Roll on April 23rd - the date of the womenswear release to 'selected stores'. (They best be including Leeds H&M in these selected stores or they're in for a world of abuse). Then in mid-may he'll be releasing his first ever menswear pieces exclusively for them, the lucky devils.
Oh Yey, Oh Yey, Oh Yey!!!

One girls search for comfort

Over here in the good old UK, we don't get to see the new Gap ads on TV, but after seeing them via the internet, I have been wanting to find a big, comfy jumper. So i guess their advertising has workered! Good for them! So the search has begun. I do hope it is successful. I will be looking on ebay mostly as the cold doesn't motivate me to leave the comforts of home much. :D

The other day in college was "uniform day". Basically for Children in Need (A charity day over here, were all the money raised go to children in need, the name kind of gives it away.) So to raise money our college said that we could come in dressed in uniform (no fishnets or suspenders though). We couldn't dress as what we wanted as that would be having too much fun.

Not everyone dressed up as they are dull. And some who did, did the typical school girl thing. Of course we did not. We Gossip Girled it. Here is my outfit. Sorry for the quality!

On another note my dress from ebay should be arrviving soon! its just a little black dress, every girl should own one i believe...now i have 3!

Roman Holiday

As Pammy said, Susan and I have been in Rome and we are back now, which is lovely. Rome was nice, not what I had expected though, but it was nice...despite italian men shouting "Ciao big tita's" and "oooff Mamma Mia" at us. No joke. I suppose the sterotyping has to come from somewhere. It made Susan and I wonder what the English sterotype would be, and whether people who come and visit England actually see them. So if you have been to England and encountered any sterotypes I would love to know what they were! :D

Anyway! Outfits! We didn't do as many as hoped but here are a few. For once I didnt over pack and regretted not taking more clothes but it makes you be a little more crafty I guess.

(Cant believe I haven't bragged about the leggings below! American Apparel but cost me £7 instead of £30!!)

This outfit was inspired by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday..hence the post title.

One thing I did not enjoy about Roma was running through the city (nearly getting killed by the crazy drivers!) as our teacher walked behind us shouting RUN!RUN!. It was just ridiculous as I did not sign up for a fitness regime!

Also Halloween has been and gone. Can you believe it is Novemeber already?Tres silly! Pamela did make it to halloween and we didnt really have costumes planned so we decided in an hour...record times I do believe. It was basically an excuse to wear what we would want to wear but cannot as college would mock us.

I was hoping to show some pictures but they didn't turn out!! I went as a "punk", Pamela was dressed as a "checker board" and Susan was dressed as a "ballerina on acid"...well thats what I would describe us as.

Happy Halloween Everybody.

It's a little early I know. But i'm a more than a little bored. Wendy-May and Susan are in Rome for a few days, and i feel lost without my partners in crime. But i'll get through it. They get back tomorrow.

I'm joking, we can all survive without each other......

They say they are bringing me a gift back, i told them not to bring the pope, but i wouldn't complain if they did. Although I did preferred the last one.

I'm very jealous that they're there right now, probably getting drunk, in Rome. Here I am in this frosty weather, freezing my toes off.

Anyway, just thought i'd post because we haven't for a while. Thanks for all the lovely comments as usual! The leathers are continuing being glorious! I'll probably be wearing them this coming weekend, lots of parties to go to! or just the one, we're not very cool.

Wendy-May and Susan are deserting me again for halloween as they're off to a party in York and going on a ghost walk at midnight. It sounds so much fun. But i cannot attend as i have to go to an open day in Wales the next day and have to set off at some ungodly hour in the morning.

Their idea for halloween costumes is the many stages of Madonna. We were all gonna dress up as different madonnas. I refused to be the 50 year old Madonna in a leotard. One of us was going to be 80's Desperately Seeking Susan Madonna. And that's as far as we got with ideas. Maybe one of us could be Cowgirl Madonna. I can't go now so i'll help those two's costumes be fabulous!

They could be the pointy bra madonna....

If anyone has any other ideas feel free to suggest them!

I have to say, though I love some of her songs, I'm on Guy Ritchie's side just because I love his films. They're all truely excellent. And i'm incredibly excited for his new Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey jr and Jude Law!

So what's everyone else dressing up as???

One Day We're Gonna Live in Paris. I Promise.

I am disgusted at myself. It's been officially almost 2 months since i last posted. I can't believe it I didn't even realise because it's not like i stopped reading blogs pretty much everyday, they are addictive. So apologies for my long absence.

Down to business. I LOVED the Sonia Rykiel show. It was amazing. The colours, the feathers, the designs by other designers, the top hat - what's not to like?

I must also add that I really enjoyed Louis Vuitton, i never thought such words would be said by me but it's true I thought it was very excellent!

Since being away i've acquired two things that have made me very very happy indeed. I have these obsessions with items, i usually really want something for ages until it gets to the point where i don't feel my life can go on with out my buying whatever said item is. And for ages now i've wanted leather trousers and thigh high boots. So you shall never guess what. I bought some. Yey!!! I got the leather babies almost a month ago from Bershka in London when myself and Susan were supposed to be doing art research stuff we accidently wondered onto oxford street and stumbled into quite a few shops when i found the trousers sent to me from above. They have lots of zips and everything!

Then the thigh highs came into my life via Ebay, it was a bittersweet moment when i bid. Handing over such a massive portion of my money isn't the greatest feeling but receiving such beauty is pure excellence i tell you!

So all in all i'm a very happy lady right now! There is the new addiction to capes that i've acquired, but i'm sure i'll shortly remedy that issue.....(bring on Ebay).

Hope everyone is keeping well and of course wearing fabulous clothes at the same time.

Oldy Lady

Yesturday was Susans 18th!! YAY! We went to blackpool pleasure beach and it was pretty damn cool! I feel a bit battered and bruised though, as at one point we felt our heads were going to fall off, but it was worth it!!The nicest looking rides are often the worst!And of course we celebrated in style on the train with a bottle of wine and cake....the only way to travel!
I know this is not fashion related at all but o well!
Hope all is well!

Please Confirm...

Ok, so us Brits may be a bit behind on America's Next Top Model, but 'cycle 10' has just started. At this moment I am watching their first photo shoot, where they are being homeless with other people in the shoot who were actually homeless...i think thats the gist of it anyway. ANWAY! Is is just me or is one of these other girls (who is called Isis) the Isis from cycle 11?and if this is right, should she be allowed to be in cycle 11?I am not sure on the rules or what not, I would just like to know if anyone else thinks it is her?

Sorry the pictures aren't to good, its the best I could find, if you would like to see more prove go on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut2EXdECpr0.... yes I am getting a little to obsessed with finding this out but I would like to know! Please let me know if i am wrong or not!

I got the Topshop tartan trousers . YAY! I decided to go for size 8's so if they did sag it wouldn't be the end of the world! I also managed to get my mum to buy me this coat (I realise I look very moody but I was planning to cut my face out...only I have seemed to misplace my photo editor sorry!!):

Addiction starts with shoes

After years of cursing Ebay I am now slightly addicted. Maybe not as much as pamela, but addicted all the same. However it is the place of finding bargains! I won the boots I posted about earlier and they actually fit perfectly. Well not at the moment as I fell over at my friends 18th and spent the next day in A&E, which resulted in a fat left foot, bandages and crutches, its not broken, apparantly I have done "soft tissue damage" (?) and I must go to physio yet again!. I blame aerosmith and alcholol. O the shame.


Anyway, back to Ebay. Yesturday the blazer I won for £1.04 ( o yes!) arrived. So here it is:

Pretty good price to say its new with tags!
However, Ebay isnt the greatest as you fall in love with an item then someone steals it in the ast few seconds. Thankfully this has not happened to me yet.

On Saturday I am off up to Liverpool to look at the university and while I am there I am going to get those tartan trousers from topshop which I posted about earlier. But I do not know whether to get them in the size 8 or 10, as both fit, but I am worried if I get the 10's they will stretch, as all my jeans seem to. The 8's fit and I know they will stay as skinny jeans, I just dont want to look like I have been vacuum packed in! But if this is the biggest worry in my life I am happy. Hopefully I will be able to walk by saturday!

Tul...eh?

It is official, I'm the geekiest person ever. I have made a compedium, this is the only word which I think justifies my overly comprehensive word document containing my favourite looks from every catwalk show so far. Thanks to WWD and style.com I have looked at everything (and by everything I mean everything, freakin William Rast! What was I doing! If, as Timberlake says its "a true American brand" I fear for Americans who will have it inflicted upon them. It's not all bad, there's a nice fringe dress and some sleeveless tuxedo jacket things, but the mini ties? What you thinking there Justin? We used to think that was the height of cool in middle school, but that was middle school, in Yorkshire, step up your game Justin dear! Is it just me or does he look slightly ashamed as he walks on at the end, it's like he knows what he's set free in the world)

As I was saying........ Yes! In my searching here there and everywhere, I came across Tuleh, a line that I had heard of but never looked into. It's crazy! Like power dressing on acid. It reminds me of the outfits they wear to the wedding in The Sweetest thing, by the way this is a hilarious movie, if you haven't seen it, what are you doing? Go watch it now. please, you'll thank me for it. Cheearz!

If only I could be this nerdy about my college work, 2 pieces of 3,000 word coursework and my personal statement to do........ mmm. Should get round to that...

I realise I've been rather agressive in this post. Sorry, I'm angry and tired.

I guess I didnt get the memo

So yesturday during the free period I had by myself I decided that I should do some work. Naturally I got distracted by blogs and Topshop. Whilst on Topshop I feel in love, twice. Firstly with these trousers, I really want them but I am uncertain wether it is wise to spend the money on them when I cannot wear them for years....I feel i may end up getting them.

My second love was these boots, but it was short lived, as shortly after I clapped eyes on them I found out our dear friend Sister A had bought them that same day. She had emailed us all declaring her love but I didnt get it. However this is a very good thing as it saved me £80 and I can borrow them, even if they are a tad big. So when I came home I got to searching for some new boots, but my expensive taste in shoes isnt the best thing, I don't even know why I went on Kurt Geiger, it's like torture. However Ebay is the best thing, once it finally let me create an account. As I found these... for £20! I do hope they arrive soon!

Now I need to find some new boots without heels, as the ones I got in a vintage shop sale last year have a hole in which today I covered up with masking tape for a quick fix, as holes are not good in this stupid British weather and the heel is gone, making it hard not to fall. Yesturday I nearly fell on my butt 4 times in the college social area, once I had to grab the door frame to try and keep some dignity. Also, when you are about to fall, why do you have to make a ridiculous noise, that draws more attention to yourself?!

I should really go and do some work now, seen as by the first lesson of the first day of college I was behind. A good start I think. Also my mind is finding it hard to decide on outfits but hopefully all will be well once I get used to not being as lazy as I have been over the summer.
