here come the girls

'its swinging '60's London rocked - with Brit 'It' girls Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton and Marianne Faithfull taking the world by storm. Well, at last their successors have finally arrived...'
-Grazia

After reading an artical in Grazia about the new 'It' girls and a piece in Teen Vogue about Topshop finally opning American stores I really thort I should do a blog about good old Britan.

The English are coming! London's secret style weapon, fast-fashion mecca Topshop, finally lands on American shores this month with a New York City megastore.'

Irish Dancing

As you may or may not know, I am a keen Irish dancer, I'm do quite alot of compatitions that are called 'feises'. I have a small one this weekend, then in a fortnights time i'm flying over to Ireland to do a feis and in four weeks time i'm doing the GB's 'the great british championships' so it was time for me to get a new dress. I got my dress back today from the dress maker, it cost £600.

My plans for today are to go to my beautiful friends meggy's 16th, she lives about 45 minutes away, shes a friend from dancing so shes having a big game of rounders in the park, she said its going to be dancing vs school people should be a larf. As obviously i'm not going to wear a posh smock, i'm going casual.

Chop Those Locks

I’ve been debating for some time now if I should cut my hair to a bob. Not a really short one, just one an inch above the shoulders. I’m not sure though, or should I get a different cut or grow my hair out, help!

I wore this rather dull outfit to the cinema and the clinic. My day was quite eventful yesterday, my friend had to go and get a test for chlamydia yesterday so I was dragged to the clinic with her. My friend, who will remain anonymous, made me get one to because ‘she felt like an idiot’ but it was okay, all we had to do put a swaud up ourselves in the toilet and hand it to the nurse. We then went down to the cinema and met up with the boys, unlucky Step Brothers was sold out so we got stuck watching the disaster movie, i’d of preferd to sit in the lobby for 2 hours eating popcorn really.

Katie Perry

She’s one of the hottest new artists to come along this summer, she was nominated for best new artist at the mtv awards and has the uks biggest song of the summer with ‘I kissed a girl’. And to boot she has the hottest new wardrobe, here are some fabulous photos.

It was my gorgeous friend Hannah’s 16th party yesterday and I must say all the girls made spectacular efforts, high wasted shorts, pencil skirts and LBD where seemingly popular. I chose to wear a h&m top, a Miss Selfridges skirt, a pair of brown tights, some tan shoes from Italy and some ‘vintage’ jewellery. Now my vintage jewellery was completely free, as I borrowed it from my mum’s old jewellery box. Here is a few pictures, sorry for the poor quality.




Spring 2009, style. It looks like pastels are going to be big, creams and baby pinks look so refreshing, and will be a lovely change from thoses rich, warm and berry colours we've been wearing over the winter.

I’m starting my third project on art my topic name is called surfaces, so it has a lot of poetic license as most things have surfaces. We have to show the surfaces, such as showing tone and texture. Before we start anything we have to collect some images of what we would like to study. I would like to have this as almost a fashion project, researching designers and such, so I’ve collected photo and editorials, tell me which you think I should draw or if you have any other ideas for my project.






Heres the pictures of my school uniform I promised, all thats missing is my blazer and that just makes me look like a man, does anyone else have a uniform or am I the only unlucky one.
