When I said it people called ME crazy....


*SIGH* Ri- Ri, i thought we had a talk about this ?????




THERE IS A REASON HE WAS THE CRAZY ONE?!?
I suppose everybody (and their highly-paid hair stylists) is entitled to make their own life choices.





As we are throwing ideas around, how about you go for a short blonde fro?










Just a thought....

Soooomewhere inside my nail bag.........






In amidst the winter blues and insolvency procedure rules, I have found 'happiness in my nail bag.

You really must understand that there is a thin line between happiness and psychosis....


It really is the little things...































What do you MEAN I have a workshop  in a few hours? Why so judgemental???

I'd like to thank my inspiration Mrs Joker. You're my GIRL!

18 + 5

Hey guys,

It was my birthday today! I KNOW right? Excitement galore...I got so many gorgeous prezzies (all of which will be posted in due course- can anybody say KG's?) from so many gorgeous people I felt like a Disney princess.

As my brother kindly pointed out to me this morning, I am erm, 'getting on a bit' so what does this mean for my wardrobe? Should I start wearing girdles everyday (as opposed to on special occasions when I decide to buy a size 10 body con only to discover that the real con is my non-Nicole Scherzinger abdominal muscles)? Should I wear longer skirts? Should I stop thinking that bow-ties are an acceptable fashion accessory for the Summertime? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!! Any answers/suggestions are welcomed.

Until that time, I am going to post a few pics of me at my house  library. Wearing my favourite pair of boots ever alongside my new favourite Forever 21 hat and a candy-striper-esque top from H&M. You really have GOT to love the January sales.










Boots - gifted from the boyfriend

Leggings - gifted from my baby bro

Hey ya!


I’ve been a bad girl, a very, VERY bad girl....although in my defence, I had exams and then I was ill, then it was New Year so you really are going to have to forgive me. To make up for my absence I have prepared a review of my fashion highs and lows of 2010 and also my inspirations and resolutions for 2011.

As Crystal Renn has shown us, it is apparently not acceptable to be overweight and so I am going to try my damndest to be slim and trim by March ( however, considering I got a GREAT deal on tortellini at Morrissons, I give it 3 days)

She looks abso-frickin-lutely gorgeous in these shots for Jimmy Choo *sigh* #movestubof icecreamawayfromlaptop #attemptstodoasitup





and again for Zac Posen




Nicki Minaj has taught us that lace body stockings should be reserved for strippers and well erm, yeah just for strippers. However if my tummy was that flat I would also...erm well no I wouldn’t but I would be very happy J. My resolution for 2011? Wear lace in moderation. I must say that I am a fan of her other outfit, maybe just with a skirt....?







I must ruffle more, in dresses, the hair of random passer’s by, covered in chocolate – ruffle/truffle same thing. These beautiful dresses by Christian Sirianos for his Spring Summer 2011 collection are simply beautiful.




I must find and embrace my inner Motherland....







I must be nicer to others, even when I have had a really bad day and have accidentally stepped in dog poo (whilst wearing my favourite boots) and missed two buses because bus drivers are evil and my oyster card (which costs frickin £20 million now) has stopped working.




SMILE! – It really REALLY could be worse.












HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

and a fantastic and prosperous 2011!

Focus on menswear...



Now, I like boys just as much as the next girl, although I have to say that I probably like clothes more. Now whilst some girls dream of sailors and police officers, I dream of a man who teeters on the edge of meterosexual but still with a rugged edge and maybe some stubble and an axe or something. I do like a boy to take pride in the way he looks and have often been caught staring shamelessly at men on the tube, not thinking phwoar look at those 'guns' (muscular arms) or check out that million dollar smile but rather check out the tweed jacket on that bad-boy or I wonder where he got that satchel from because I want one. It ALWAYS gets really awkward when they try and wink back though because you have to run away on to the central line when you are really trying to get to Stockwell....alas, if only I had self control.

In honour of my embarassing tube journeys, i have put together a list of my favourite menswear pieces that I have spotted around town.









A nice suit....

A cute little man bag




A nice pair of shoes- i spotted on a little fashionista I have befriended.



A snug chunky knit


A sexy trench....

That's all folks.....

All I did was ask you to fix my shoes...

Just a quick rant...

People in the customer services industry should not be in that industry if they don't like human beings, this goes for:


  • taxi drivers
  • locksmiths
  • Retail managers
  • Customer services assistants
  • Cabin crew
  • Anybody employed in any establishment in or around the Elephant and Castle area
  • Russian Costa Coffee baristas (particularly as you are in direct competition with the extra friendly Pret staff)
  • Call centre agents - particularly those involved with telephone companies or internet
  • Shoe Repairmen 
I wouldn't mind, i'm a friendly girl and I do understand the horrors of retail but do not be rude to me because you are upset with your life. We all have things going on. If I now decide to cock my head to the side, put on a Nigerian accent, remove my earrings, take off my shoes, hitch up my skirt, assume the Mike Tyson stance, tell you about your life and THEN give you the 'People's elbow' they will send ME to prison and not you. Nobody will ask me why you decided to serve me uncooked porridge or not fix my shoes when you said you would or charge me an exorbitant amount of money to drive 3 yards. DO NOT LET THE PLEASE AND THANK YOU's FOOL YOU, i am from Benin City Nigeria.

You are just lucky I like law more than i don't like you....

Now I am going to have to buy new shoes...
.



HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
