So today I went to Enfield town.

A) I finally found i-D magazine, in the mens interest section. For a start its not a mens magazine, its unisex, and it used to be in the womens fashion section so you can't just decide one day that it is going to be a mens magazine. Why is there not a unisex section? I mean Wired and New Scientist are in the mens interest section, next to FHM & Nuts. Thats a little bit sexist, that suggests women are not in to science and cannot enter a career in medicine, and also forbids women to have any interest in technology. Is this or is this not the 21st century?

B) On the bus home some girls got on and looked about 13, but were really short, and got asked for their oyster cards and said they were 10. This only really shocked me because they were wearing leggings and mini skirts and tights with real Uggs and Abercrombie and Jack Wills hoodies. They were talking about fashion and shopping and trying to be all grown up, but then when the bus door wouldn't shut properly, like the immature 10 year old they were started laughing like loons. Totally juxterposed themselves there.

Point is though that back in 2002 when I was 10 I didn't get anything better than Tammy Girl. I was still recovering from the 90s grunge look wearing 'grunger jeans' and grey hoodies, with slogan t-shirts and long wavy hair (yeah I was a misfit, lol.) I didn't even know what Jack Wills was. They are going to grow out of it, I mean what a waste of money! It just irritates me.

There is just too much pressure to grow up fast these days. I would have rejected that statement when I was that age, but now I guess it's true.

I am going to London Zoo tomorrow :) How cool am I! I probably haven't been there since I was 10. Should be awesome.

Shopping withdrawal symptoms.

Yes Mr Branson I do know what they are, you don't have to tell us again for the 12th time. It's ok, really.

I went and bought Dazed & Confused today and Vogue, couldnt find i-D and they dont have the Nylon with Megan Fox on it yet and I didn't want the other one. I only really want it for Megan Fox to be honest. GIRL CRUSH!
Lady Gaga is in Vogue and shes looking hot too. I love wierd people, not freaks or really wierd people, but just people who aren't mundane you know? I would love to meet a bunch of people like that and start up a 'Factory' type thing, like Andy Warhol had in the 60s.

There is so much stuff I want in these magazines and I'm just poor. Damn you EMA!
It's just like...

(Excuse my phones crap 3.2mp camera, and my French. Pardon.)

The Iliad.

I just watched The September Issue which my mum bought me on DVD. It is all about the making of the US Vogue September Issue in 2007. The American Vogue looks so much better than UK Vogue. In the UK I prefer Elle and i-D but if we had the US Vogue and US Elle, out of the two, I would choose Vogue. Grace Coddington is pure genious; I adore everything she does.

I thought Anna Wintour's daughter was really pretty so I googled her and this picture came up.

It just makes me laugh how she has taken the Iliad to read at a fashion show. You can tell by her facial expression she doesn't want to be there. If shes going to be so ungrateful I don't mind sharing a freaky friday moment with her, I mean Oscar De La Renta vs Odysseus? No contest!

Not that Classics is bad because it is actually really quiet interesting, especially the Athenians and their really very strange lifestyles, (just search Symposiums, Hetaera and Boys). If you ever have the chance to study it, it is well worth doing, just lets please refrain from taking The Iliad or The Odyssey to any fashion shows, Ok?

You taste just like glitter mixed with House of Holland

T-shirt - House of Holland

Legging - American Apparel
Hoodie - Topshop
Shoes - Topshop

I went shopping today and purchased the leggings, hoodie and shoes. I wanted to get another set of leggings from Topshop 'Tee & Cake' in black with bones on them, but they have sold out online and at Oxford Circus, with only the multi coloured ones left, so instead I am going to invest in green tie-dye ones from American Apparel.

Today was the first time I actually bought something from American Apparel. I am going to see Lady Gaga on tuesday and thought these sparkly leggings would be perfect for the ocassion. I don't know why I don't shop there more often because they have some really cool stuff!

I finally managed to get a copy of the new i-D today aswell. It is sooooo coool!!! The 'i-D' is written out of Sponge Bob Square Pants because its the FUN issue.
Hahahahaha. The simple things make me giggle :)

The Unwanted Presents Of Aunty Elle.

This morning my Elle magazine came in the post with a free gift; an 'Urban Outfitters' bag to be precise. At first I wonder as to why Elle would do something as tacky as to give free gifts with the magazine but then I came to the conclusion that perhaps Urban Outfitters payed them alot of money too, as part of a marketing campaign. My illusions of it being a one off, however, where soon destroyed when, as to my horror, as I was reading the magazine, I read that next week there will be a free top with "4 colours to choose from".
I am disapointed in you Elle. If I wanted such junk acumilating in my house I would go to car boot sales on a weekly basis, but I do not. Infact I only just emptied my room of such rubbish throwing out about 2 bin bags full. I do not need anymore.
You may then say "throw it away", but what about saving the planet? Being "green" and unwasteful? Producing all these things that people will just throw away is far from helping the planet and contradicts the concept of eco-fashion.
I feel sad to say that every week when I read Elle it does seem to be going downhill. Im not sure what it is: the content? the features? the celebrities? but something in my opinion has made it lose its touch. Maybe its that Vogue and i-D get better everyweek but my preference of fashion magazines is changing.
