Sooo in love with...

ERM...so I am in LOVE with MIU-MIU's Ready to Wear Collection for Fall 2011. Like seriously, I could have a long term relationship with that burnt orange floral dress, have a casual fling with the black skirt and finally settle down and have a family with that forest green clutch...no I don't have an unhealthy obsession with clothes and even if I do blame society or at the very least Primark

Yeah so I am off to study so that by Fall 2011 I will be able to afford to look like this....

This really made me laugh

I see a pattern emerging...

Uh-oh...SPAGHETTIOS!!

I am not actually sure where I heard that phrase, I know that it was many moons ago, probably on an American film and since then it has been used as my indication of mild dread and general foreboding. In other words 'Duh-da-duuuuum'.

Fear not my friends, there is no ACTUAL problem, I just seem to be developing a clothing pattern i.e. bright tights with everything. I really should try to utilise the other 78,000 items of clothing in my wardrobe shouldn't I?

#BadAiz!

This post is kinda dedicated to my lovely sis who told me that you can't wear hotpants  sensible denim shorts in the daytime.

Can't Shmant i say!

Why Would You Wear THAT Weekend.

Finished, finito, done, over, no longer in progress, completed, concluded.  If somehow you missed that I had exams, let me fill you in. Basically, I had to learn how to set up a company, navigate it through a conveyancing transaction, advise on a civil dispute it had encountered, advise one of its key personnel through a criminal investigation and finally bring the company to an end.  Sounds PRETTY cool right? Yeah, it’s not.

In celebration of this truly monumental milestone, I propose to share with you things that have been bugging me this week, I call it ‘Why Would you Wear THAT’ Weekend.

Well, as you can tell, I like fashion. NOW, fashion by definition is:a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing, etc.

Whilst an apt description fashion should be distinguished from a cortege or a follower, people really must learn to develop their own conclusions and should resolve that there are some things that JUST LOOK BAD.

Exhibit A – The Ugg Boot.

Retailing at over £110 Great British Pound Sterling this brute of an item has monopolised the feet of the floppy haired for many a moon now, but what devastates me more than these completely useless highly inelegant shoes is their appearances during the summer months. So it is 27 degrees celcius, one of the only two summer days Great Britain will experience out of 365 but you bypassed the entire collection of summer sandals on sale on the high street and thought...”yup, I want to wear the one with the fur”?!@%!


 I love warmth and I love comfort, but I also love individuality...

Why the outburst? I counted 25 girls in one learning institution in one day wearing these monstrosities...

Yes I am sure they are very wonderful and they keep you super duper trooper warm and they ‘go with everything’ but I can’t help thinking there is a mountain climber out there absolutely wetting himself that people actually bought into this phenomenon.

Yes you will probably all hate me and I am sure they are ambrosia for the feet,  but if so then please explain these to me.....

Like serious, detailed explanations....

The Prosecution rests....

They call me mellow yellow.....

Guys, today was breakdown day. YIKES, I'm goingtocrymyexamisontuesday day but then something beautiful happened. My wonderful family came ALL the way from my home-town to bring joy into my life. Whilst I was in the library they made my room/wardrobe super duper hotel clean (and stole some clothes in the process), brought me food, general merriment and two new outfits!!! 

They really are little rays of sunshine in my life. Speaking of sunshine I wore yellow tights the other day (yes that was a perfectly legitimate link-not tenuous at all) I couldn't understand why people were looking at my banana inspired legs. I call them haters.

I forgot my 'hater blockers' that day so I just had to close my eyes....OR I blinked when the picture was being taken...you decide.

Shirt- French Connection
Skirt - H&M
Shoes - Pressie from some chick i know (River Island)
Scarf - thrifted
Watch (my new favourite) Gifted
Bag - Zara - also gifted

Wow so many gifts all I need now is the gift of exam technique (I'm counting on you Jesus)

So my secretary tells me you would like some legal advice...?

Today I had my interviewing assessment, it was fun (if fun involves a slightly neurotic divorcee with bad personal finances). SO, I had to do my best serious lawyer impression. I wore a smart dress and sensible shoes. Like seriously sensible- they are an inch high! I mean I did borrow the glasses in an attempt to enhance the whole competent lawyer thing. I think the neon pink and blue polka dot nails took the edge off the whole 'lawyer' image that I was trying to go for but to be honest, my nails aren't giving you the legal advice so.....

I finished the exam and just had a quiet celebration in the corner.....

Whaddaya think?
