It is snowing on Oxford St!

Or atleast it is outside John Lewis & Selfridges. Its raining bubbles outside Liberty. Caos!
After you have been ill all week it is not a good idea to go and completely naker yourself in Oxford St in December. Oh my g.
It wasn't even a sucess. Stillgot presents to buy. Bahh Humbug!
Anyway guess whats back? THE OUTFIT POSTS! YAAAAAYYYY!


Dress - Stolen Girlfriends Club @ www.idontlikemondays.us
Shoe Boots - Topshop

I love this dress. I don't care what people have said. I think its like marmite because at school someone thought it looked like a dress the poor girls wear in 'A Little Princess'. I didn't take that as a direct compliment, but people also stop me and ask where its from too so thats nice :)
I like having rare clothing, especially if its not vintage because it feels even more special.
I remember I used to be known as Topshop girl which made me sick, despite that being because at 14 most girls still only dressed in chavy New Look / River Island, and God forbid, Jane Norman *gags* clothing.
I am no longer Topshop girl anymore, but everyone else is.

Ohh and I meant to post this ages ago...

I got it in Barcelona.
That was a cool trip. Gaudi is awesome.
This now is pride and joy on my bedroom wall.
Meoooow!

Tavi Pop








I spent £10 on magazines today. I bough i-D and Pop staring 13 year old Tavi (Williams) Gevison (don't ask me why she changed her name; I don't know). Some people are just so lucky.
I didn't by Nylon because I mean, allow paying £4.50 for about 10 glossy pages of americanised layout. I just wanted it for Megan Fox, but I can live without.

I went shopping today to get some makeup and couldnt find anything I really wanted. It was one of those days when I would have been a very sensible shopper but I didn't buy any clothes. I was looking in Topshop for the blue dress shown in my previous post but couldn't find it, and this was in the Oxford St flagship store. I managed to get 'The Yellow Wallpaper' which I have to read for my english coursework. My teacher told me it was thin but I was expecting around 150 pages not 32 pages. I'm not complaining though, I just don't see how it can be called a novel; Its a short story, just as Homer's 'Oddysey' is not a poem but a novel.

I am off to Barcelona on Monday. I don't know if I will have time to post again between now and then so I am letting you know now. I will be back on Thursday, but will be busy Friday so am unlikey to post for another week. I am going boutiqe shopping in Hitchin with my friend from Stevenage.
I think I am supposed to be at a party right now lol.
Oh well.
Have a happy half term :)

Im going to party like its 1999!
























top - vintage
black cardigan - vintage
blazer - Sara Berman
leggings - Topshop
shoes - Preen at Topshop

I am off to my friends 17th party on saturday night but since I wont be at home from thursday night, as I am going to university open days far away, I had to pre-plan my outfit so I can take it with me. I cropped the white lace top myself today, which I think has worked out nicely, since every one who is anyone is taking the Tardis back to the 90's to cropy Britney Spears. The fact I adore Britney also makes me even more keen on this trend which I am hoping will stick around for a while.
If I havent been shopping by the 7th of July, (as scary a thought that may be), I will probably wear the outfit on the right with some flat shoes for the London College Of Fashion open day. I already know I really want to go there because not only is it the only specialist fashion university doing a fashion management course, but I have also been there before for 2 weeks doing 16-18s short course and I fell in love. London is my hometown and I don't think I could cope without Oxford Street on my doorstep.
LCF 2010 HERE I COME!

ps. Jimmy Choo for H&M????? Not sure what I think about that because it won't be Jimmy Choo anymore will it? I mean its not just the brand name or design; it's the design and its quality, with a loss of quality its not quiet the same is it? We shall have to wait and see...
