It was the night before christmas...

Merry Christmas everyone and thank you for visiting/commenting/following my blog. Its much appricated. Hope you all have a good day!

Yesterday I went skating with my friend Sophie to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde park. It was really good however the ice was bumpy because they hadnt resurfaced it. That wasnt the most exciting part of my day though. We took a visit to selfridges (Love it! Favourite shop of all time) and omgoshh theres a massive shoe sale going on. Im talking about Prada, Gucci, D&G, V&R ect. shoes with £100's of pounds off! I was searching for louboutins but didnt find any as my mum got very impatient. There were a pair of Prada shoes for £90 reduced from £390 that I plan to go and get saturday. Literally there was a massive section with thousands of shoes reduced. Its like a beautiful dream! Selfridges havent advertised this shoe sale due to the fact half of britian would be there fighting for shoes.
Sophie had never been to Abercrombie and Fitch before and so we took her there. I hate it but it has a few nice clothes (things that arent skin tight and have "A&F" plastered right along the front). I brought a top that goes well with my velvet skirt to wear for my birthday (going for afternoon tea at the Ritz!)

Well happy holidays everyone and Ill blog soon!

Good morning Starshine the earth says hello

Good morning! It seems that I post now every Monday instead of every few days as I intended. Ohh well.

The highlights of last week:
Last week of school!
Gave out presents
Early christmas presents (had some amazing things- Harajuku lovers perfume. headbands, jewllery ect.)
Snow on Friday although its been freezing all weekend. However it has really got me in the christmas spirit. Only 4 days to go!

Here are a few photos from french vogue that I meant to upload the other day.

Let it snow!

My dog, Chester (who is now stretched out in front of the heater hogging all the heat) loves the snow and getting in photos. I love how the snow covers things and makes them look pretty. But its so cold! This jumper reminds me of the Ashish tracksuit top.

Ou Sont Les Creatures Sauvages?

Hello everyone :D
I havent posted for over a week now. Sorry. Iv been so busy with christmas shopping and wrapping. Only 11 days to go! For once I'm really prepared. I brought my Mum a Radley bag, My Nan Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair Serum and Annie a few little bits from Jack Wills (I had been saving for a while in order to buy these nice presents). I cant wait for the sales!


The christmas light display at the front main entrance of Selfridges (The one with the awesome doors)
Oxford Street was really packed! We managed to grab ourselves a few freebies: A cup of tea outside Superdrug, An american express shopper bag (my mum was really pleased with it!) A Gucci Flora ribbon and free gift boxes from H&M. When I go to London with Annie we always seem to get freebies given to us. It felt so christmasy as there were crowds of people with masses of shopping bags and a christmas market opposite M&S.

My mum went to Paris on Saturday and brought me back Jalouse and French Vogue. I will upload the Images from Vogue tomorrow. I love the cover of Jalouse and how it is layed out in polaroids. I wish they would sell this magazine in England. Luckily I have a French friend who willingly translated some of it to me (she wanted to read it anyway so it was a fair deal)
Here are some pictures that I have taken of it:

This is a picture of the adorable and rather (okay very) fashionable Tavi (http://www.tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/)

What is everyone hoping Santa brings them?

Its the end but the beginning

Finally its Friday! Goodbye to last week and a Big hello to this weekend:Shopping! I did really well in a few subjects in my mocks so I think I deserve it although I plan just to buy presents for people.



I was looking through photos on my computor and found this:

I made this waistcoat ages ago. I still havent got round to lining it.Once i've lined it I will post an image of it.

The Sonia Rykiel collection for H&M is released tomorrow! I have seen a few pieces I like and so will be patiently waiting for H&M to open. I'll post my buys sometime over the weekend.

Different is Pretty

just cause i know where she lives

i won't stick around like adhesive

instead i'll skin my knees

and wait inbetween

she'll tug on my imagination

i'll wait for an indication

systamatic smiles

with it

shes just so sweet so fine

so polite too

sophie i'd like to be for you

but the only, only way i know

takes so long, so long

Lyrics taken from the song Sophie by Goodshirt. Elland (one of my best friends who moved back to New Zealand. Miss her loads) suggested I listened to it. I absolutly love this song. It reminded me of this image of Gemma Ward.

I'll search high and low

I would really like a Yves Saint Laurent t-shirt but have no idea where to get one or how much they are. My mum does'nt believe in internet shopping (sadly enough) so I will have to get it from shop unless I ask my dad for it (but he'd probaly end up ordering the wrong thing) Anyone know?

Its nice to know...

Its the 1st December only 24 days to go! Im not in the festive mood at the moment as I get the results of my mock exams this week. However I am sure I will be feeling the magic of christmas when I do my christmas shopping on saturday. Annie and I are venturing to London (as always) to do alot of christmas shopping. Harrods here we come!

I finally have a few followers of this blog! Thanks everyone for your comments and followings :D


Im supposed to be doing my textiles coursework now but decided to take a short break and blog. Heres my design for a dress that I am making. The theme for my dress and bag is Nautical. (I know the pose of the model is a bit weird but I was meant to draw a border around the drawing so that it looked like she was posed inbetween two walls)




I know that my drawings arent particulary great but practise makes perfect (so i'll keep practising)

This is a prototype of a clutch bag that I may make. Its a really rough copy (took about 10mins max to do so very rough copy) and so none of the edges are finished off and the sides are not very straight.
