the first time fashion's been un-fun.

Yep. That's where the fashion show is being held! How incredible does it look!?! I am soooo excited. There is so much to do. Stress is one word that keeps popping back into my mind! Hard work. Organization. Those are a few more words that I'm feeling.......

Anywho, anyone that can help in anyway shape or form, even if thats via a logo design, clothing boutique willing to lend us clothes etcc........

Lots of LOVE

crazy times ahead

WOW. I'm organizing a fashion show.

Yep you did read it right! I am so nervous, but this will work and be amazing! I'm doing it for/with my bestie, Jaz. She is a finalist for the Miss Teen Queen UK 2009 competition! In the competition there is a section where you have to raise funds for a charitable organization called the Phillip Green Memorial Trust, which help disabled children to lead a normal life. So I am putting my PR skills in to practice, (ok I have none so far but hey this is what I am going to uni to study so hopefully I shall do a good job!)

The Manager of the nightclub where I work has agreed to let me have one of the rooms called ENVY, for the night for FREE! How incredible is that!! So hopefully it will be a success, we have a lot to do considering it is going to be taking place in under a months time!!

I am currently looking for clothing boutiques and stores to either lend us a few garments or donate one garment, which will then be showcased on the catwalk, and if donated will be auctioned off at the end. What do you guys think? I also need to create a logo sort thing to be a letterhead for all of our correspondence, as we are going to be very busy bees these next few weeks travelling around and having interviews with shop buyers, managers and potential sponsors!

If you are creative and fancy trying to create a logo then email me and I will give you the deets and requirements. Anyone who attempts this will be my best friend forever :)

Hopefully this will now explain why I am going to be very blog very far between. Lots of Love. SMILE XO

Style obsession...

My current style OBSESSION is with Ashley Olsen! One half of the amazingly beautiful and stylish Olsen twins, I personally feel that Ashley is almost ...cleaner(?) if thats the right word, she has an air of sophistication that I don't see about Mary-Kate; DO NOT GET ME WRONG I LOVE MK's STYLE! But I just think Ashley is more... me :)

This is my favourite look out of the pics I chose for today. The simplicity of this look is what makes it rock for me, the way her hair is scraped but with the sunglasses. The oversized scarf and top with the skinnies and boots. I love everything and would be eternally grateful if I were given this outfit haha. Outfit number two, again is very simple yet sooooo chic! I love the oversized bag, ripped jeans and flats. This outfit would be very simple to re-create. Me likey.

Outfit number three again simplicity is the key, a fur coat with leggings and a pair of killer wedges all come together perfectly for Ashley. Adoring her style more and more by the second.

This fourth outfit rocks because of the booties we see again the oversized bag with skinny ripped jeans, but the boots are incredible. Yes please. Lets see if the closet angels could do their magic and let these boots appear there tomorrow!

This final outfit I just wanted to get a picture of to further stress how beautiful and sophisticated Ms Ashley Olsen is, there is no tacky bone in the young lady's body, she is all class and looks a vision in this beautiful The Row gown at the Costume Institue Gala.

.

All of these photos are borrowed from brilliant Olsens Anonymous, a fabulous site with beautiful pictures of the Olsen sisters, and their inspirational outfits. (Go check it out, you'll be hooked like me.)

.

Anyway, if I had Ashley's wardrobe I would need a spectacular closet to keep it all in, so if you click here you can see Joanna Goddard's article on fabulous New York closets....

.

I hope you all had/are having a fabulous day, mine was rather dull, but I remembered for tomorrow, I have some photo uploading to do. Yay. I'm off to sleep now, so I'll see you all tomorrow. Lots of love. XO

P.S remember- Smile, its infectious xo

P.P.S I saw this gorgeous Kate Moss for Topshop dress in about three different weekly mags and they all quote different prices, but I found it here on topshop.com and its only £40!!! What do you think of it??? xo

Leaving home...

I cannot stop thinking about going to uinversity these last few days. Even though I am not going until the end of September, I'm just really dreading it. I think I want to keep this blog going though because at least then, when I move away, 5 hours from home, at least this environment that I know and love will still be the same as long as I have my trusty lappytop with me :)

.

Moving out of home for the first time is soooo daunting, how old were you guys when you first did? Or do you still live at home? Did any of you get really homesick when you went to uni? Any answers to these questions would be a delighful help.

So I thought what way to make myself feel even more homesick? I know I'll do a post on things that I'll miss from home...

I'll miss the way my pussycat licks my hair to wake me up in the morning to feed him; I'll miss the beautiful sun shining through my curtains, reflecting off the crystals hanging at my window; I'll miss the sound of my mum hoovering outside my door on a bright summer morning; I'll miss the way the postman is never ever early so you have to wait around half the day for your important mail; I'll miss my best friend who is going to still be here in this same town whilst I'm away up there; I'll miss the massive wardrobe and all the storage I have in my boudoir; I'll miss half of the clothes and shoes that I wont be able to take to university with me; I'll miss the five minute walk to my nan and grandads to talk about them hating eachother in the 60s because they were mods and rockers and then telling me how they fell in love; I'll miss waking up to the smell of my mum's delicious peanut butter cookies; I'll miss the way the the little children knock on my front door saying "my balls in your garden can you throw it over please"; I'll miss the familiarity of the people whom I have seen everyday for the last 18 years in the road where I live; I'll miss the friendly shop keeper who always says hi to me when I buy my fashion mags; I'll miss the friendly lady bus driver who always asks me how I am (even though I rarely see her anymore anyway as I passed my driving test); I'll miss the closesness to Brighton Pier and the fabulous shopping in the Laines; but most of all, I'll miss my mum, my best friend and protector for the last 18 years. Now I'm off to fend for myself.

.

Anyway, have a nice day. After the long weekend revision starts again for me, I have some VERY important exams coming up, so I have a feeling I'll be popping by alot to give myself a break from it all.

.

If anyone has any tips about moving away from home, or tips to not worry about doing such a thing, or any sort of advice they can give me to stop panicing about this whole shabang, then please- don't hesitate to comment lol.

Smile- It's infectious XO

we are now on...

...Twitter.

I don't know why I would sign up to such a thing with a fan base of approx. 4 (lovely readers- I thank you for taking the time to visit my shoddy blog)... but hey. If you've just stumbled across here (hello, nice to meet you (: ) then feel free as a bee to 'follow' this blog on Twitter. The all important link you need is here.

Ooo, I went to see Girls Aloud in concert last night, it was rather fabulous, however I did get rather tipsy, also I went to a restaurant called 'Zizzi', it was delicious. I think it may just be an English chain though, so sorry to all of you not in the 'lovely' land of Eng. Im in a really annoying mood right now, can you tell? I think I'm just extremely bored. Oh and if you know of any blog or site that is about or has posts about DIY-ing your clothes, then link me please. I have finished college now, so I have a lot of spare time on my hands, and what better way to spend it than making my clothes look fab?

Anyway, what are you upto this evening? It's bank holiday Monday tomorrow here in England, so its like another Saturday night for me, aren't I lucky. I am going to a bbq I think, which will be nice... I shall take some photographs. (Maybe- that isn't a promise, we know how rubbish I am at keeping those.)

Take care, be happy & smile.

Welcome...

...To the newish blog, you may notice the difference in URL, colours, and title... and hopefully after we get into the swing of things you may also notice the change of direction in post topics!

I have literally been non-stop lately, May and June are always busy months for me as I'm still at college, but this year especially as I am doing my exams to get into university. BIG important stuff!

I have recently rocked some hot outfits, but each time forgotten to take a picture for you all to see! I suck at this game!

Also I have some questions for you genius bloggers out there, if you could help me with a few answers that would be excellent!...

1. What programme do you use to edit your photographs?

2. How did you build up your large reading audience?

3. Any ideas or design ideas for my blog header? I can't seem to do one because I'm using only paint to create any header images.

...Any answers to those questions would be fabulous help!

My week this week was hectic, I had college 5 days, and then went out on wednesday night, got a tad drunk and paid for it the next day!

Here's a picture of me and my best friend:

Anyway what are you upto this Saturday? I have work again tonight! But before that I'm going on another date, which means yet another hot outfit to conjour up. I think I may be heading over to Bebelicious, Art of Jordan, and Chictopia for some inspiration!

Who and what inspires you for outfits?

Comment away guys, oh and it would be a great help if you could click the love, like or boring buttons below this post as it will give me a hint of whether this direction is going the right or wrong way!

Love to you all. XO
