Bag, Borrow or Steal.

Remember in the Sex and the City movie when Carrie's assistant rents designer bags for a week at a time? What a great idea, right?

Well in my search for last years Brit Award dress I came across this handy website for renting designer dresses- Girl Meets Dress.

You name it they have it here, from Alexander McQueen to PPQ, cocktail dresses to wedding dresses it's such a cool idea.

So far I have my eye on this ACNE ruffle shoulder dress or this Miu Miu colour block belted dress....

Eeny meeny miny mo. x x

Top Not?

Why oh why oh why when I try to put my hair into a top knot I end up looking like a retarded cave woman and not like this....





I'm down but I'm not out, I'm determined to get this look down before the week is out!

Caterpillar Friday..


Howdy : D

I'm so very glad it's Friday, another week of work is over and I'm ever closer to handing in my notice at work, even closer to turning 25 and more importantly even closer to the Brit Awards 2010 (this and Glastonbury being my fashion focal points for the year!)

Absolutely nothing planned this weekend, my parents are up from Cornwall visiting but I'm really not in the mood to entertain so I'll do my best to put a happy face on and push through til Monday....god that sounds awful but I really am feeling that bad! I'm hoping it'll turn into a butterfly of a weekend, caterpillar Friday.....

Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are x x x

Wonders of the Wikipedia

Since banning Facebook at work the days have seemed a lot longer, I'm sure it's for the best though as I have been much more productive googling all sorts of important things such as the calories in Starbucks Hazelnut Hot Chocolate and the lyrics to Interpol's C'mere.

A friend recommended that I get a life and start learning some new "facts" about people, places etc on Wikipedia. My first port of call after finishing the Twilight Saga recently was to head to "Breaking Dawn" which lead me to the leaked manuscript of "Midnight Sun" This is Stephanie Meyers companion novel to Twilight written from Edwards perspective....fascinating stuff, such a shame it was leaked and now won't be finished for a long while......boooooo!

So here you go- read the manuscript here

I'm going to see what else I can find! x

Nicest Thing.

Play time

I've been fiddling with the settings on Blogger during my "I'm bored of life, shoot me now" day. Maybe this was why I was drawn to the black background?! However the pastel colours cheer it up a bit, so it's not all doom and gloom.

Throughout my day I've been obsessing over lookbook, adding fashion inspired new bloggers to my ever increasing lists of blogs to follow and figuring out if I actually need a pair of lace up booties for my trip to Brighton this weekend- So far I'm thinking yes, obvs.

I was a little bit annoyed that Glamour Magazine this month decided to write about lookbook, it was a little (well global) secret site of mine which I liked to pinch ideas from, recycle and make my own. I thought "now every bloody bricklane/camdenmarket/brightonian uniformed girl will swamp the place" with a heavy sigh.

However I was pleasantly surprised when this little beauty showed up! I'm LOVING this girl, shamelessly stolen from her blog. Pale, beautiful and from the UK which obviously makes here majorly cool.



Sooooo backtracking (ever so slightly) I say keep the ideas coming ladies, lets show the rest of the world what we're made of ; ) x x x
