'Standing Out in the Rain'

 One of my favourite stores in Camden, Artbox! There's also one in Covent Garden which is bigger :)

Remember like two posts before this, I said that I really wanted that floral roses top from Topshop but it was sold out? Well yetserday I found it on Ebay and got it for £25 :) Yaaay.

So today was raining again which was a complete downer and also the day started off with double chemistry.. We got our test results back, I got 90% which I'm pretty happy with. Then it was maths.. Blaaa and philosophy and ethics. What a load of bull. Er and my school day ended off with German and French. In French we're doing these French poems which are rather... Interesting. Haha I swear one of them, the poet is gay. He writes about this other man in a cafe, lighting up his ciggarette, without a word, with out looking at him and stuff haha. His name is Jacques Prévert. And then the other poem we're studying is about some dude who is majorly depressed and feels like there's weeping in his heart. Bless him.

I had piano lessons today.. Euuuugh but when I got home I had this really nice risotto and ate it while watching the latest episode of 90210. Lovely. It was a really good episode! Silver's mum has cancer! And also The Script were in that episode playing "We Cry" at The Beach Club.

Oh yeah and apparently most of the girls can come to London next Tuesday so I'm pretty excited! Going to Westfield, Camden Town, Oxford Street and Regent/Covent if we have time.

I need to go finish off my homework :)

Goodbye

'In a Storm in my Best Dress Fearless'

Didn't have time to post yesterday! Was just too busy caught up doing IT coursework. There's sooo much and I still don't think I'm up to date! Also I feel really sick- like really, really bloated even though I haven't eaten much.

 So today was raining like yesterday, so everyone's mood was already dampened and to make things worse, in form, Jakey drew on my Jonas Brothers book! I had maths first thing. Although Nathanael always makes maths fun hahaha :) Then we had English in the music room because the current room is getting redone. I had saved a seat for Kelly and then ADAM comes and sits in it cause it was the only one left. Only because Kelly didn't know what room we were in for English and she was TWENTY minutes late hahahaha, what a FAIL she is. But the funny thing was, Mrs Chow didn't seem to mind that she was late. In double IT I worked my friggin' socks off and I swear Big Mac still hates me. Blaaaaaa. Then we had Jeffrey and Mrs Kenny for history.. She was in a singing mood, so yes.. She sang on the top of her lungs for the whole lesson.

So yeah I arrived home, and I find three things in the post waiting for me..
   -First was the latest Elle with Cheryl Cole on the cover. First Vogue.. Now Elle.. What next? Tatler?
   -Second was the skirt I ordered from New Look last week. I still need to try it on.
   -And third was the Jonas Brothers Lines Vines and Trying Times t-shirt, which is exactly the same as the one Nick is wearing in the first photo :) And on the back it has this quote which says, "Live like you are on the bottom even if you are at the top." He designed the t-shirt himself, how sweeet? So wearing it to the concert ahaa!!!

WESTWOOD

             Backstage at Lanvin, definitely my fave of PFW.

Now off to do some homework, au revoir xoxo

'And A Perfect Rainbow Never Seemed So Dull'

So today I was meant to go to Southampton to see Lisa and Jake and Big Mommmma, mais non.. I HAVE TONS OF HOMEWORK. Ffs. There's loads of IT coursework I need to catch up on: annotating, print screens, finish the database, edit my data capture form, highlight the errors, finish writing the software comparison, finish the data structure table and explanation. Oh for goodness sake I'm seriously haveing second thoughts about choosing IT AS as an option, thank God after this project is finished we're on to website design which I'm kinda looking forward to. And then I have loads of French homework, a science sheet, maths and others.

So my parents have gone to Southampton for the second time this weekend and I'm home alone for the whole day again. Anyway, I was on Polyvore and I found the photo (top of the post) and thought it was rather beautiful. It reminds me of the house my mum and dad used to live in when they lived near Cannes and Saint Tropez in France. Ahaha this morning I was going through the channels and I saw Hannah Montana on the TV guide so I went on to the channel, thinking I was on Disney Channel but it was Channel Five? Since when did they show Hannah Montana on Channel Five? I as like what the hell haha, and apparently they show Wizards of Waverly Place as well. I'm still sticking to my beloved Disney Channel though :) It was the episode in season 2 episode 1 where they start high school and Miley has to pretend to be Rico's girlfriend because he has a photo of her kissing a teddy bear but she thinks it's a photo of her being Hannah Montana. Hahah silly child.

Ahh, well I tried this top on in Topshop a like six months ago and didn't have enough money to buy it at the time and kinda forgot about it.. Then I saw someone wearing it last week and now I want it again, but it's all sold out on the Topshop website grrr. It's like a baggy crop tee with bat type arms so it can be tucked into high waisted clothing or worn similar to a poncho with a top underneath. I guess I'll need to do some scavaging around to find it!

'It's a Roller Coaster Kinda Rush'

beau⋅ti⋅ful

–adjective

1.

having beauty; having qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind: a beautiful dress; a beautiful speech.

Lanvin's S/S '10 collection is truly beautiful. Alber Elbaz is simply a genius with magical powers. He never seems to fail and I really have fallen in love with him and his new designs. The show started with the trademark Lanvin black dresses- I love the lapels on the dresses (second photo). Then a splash of colour came in with shades of reds and creams, asymetric dresses, puffy shoulders and frills. So Elbaz was on a roll already.. But then came the embelishment. And once I saw these, I think I had just died and gone to heaven. Every little intricate detail- the scatters of gold sequins carefully sewn own, the elaborate gold necklaces, sculptured belts and studded jewels You just can't ask for more. It doesn't get much better than this. An unforgettable collection to die for.

A true genius.

So I'm sat on the sofa all aloney on my owney at home when I could be at Jess and Megan's partay with a load of people, but my parents are out so I had no way of getting there and back. My alternative? Watching X Factor ahaha. I haven't really watched it this year as I've been out every Saturday since it started and this is the first Saturday I've been at home in like 7 weeks haha. First week I was at Kelly's, second I was in New York, third I was at Dani's, fourth I was at Ryan's, fifth I was at Natalie's and last week I was at Kelly's again haha. Anywayzzzz, I don't like that Nicole lady who's in the Over 25s because all she does is shout and it's turning into SCREAMO mwahahahahaha!

Been home all day and freakin' bored as. Cleared out some of my stuff, so I've found some things to sell to get some money for the trip to London :)

Goodbye xoxo

'And It's Two A.M. And I'm Cursing Your Name'

OKAY FIRST OF ALL I AM BLOODY ECSTATIC. BASICALLY I WAS MEANT TO BE SEEING THE JONAS BROTHERS WITH A FEW FRIENDS AND WE ORDERED TICKETS BUT THE CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION NEVER WENT THROUGH OR WHATEVER AND WE GOT A EMAIL SAYING "OH SORRY" BLA BLA AND ALL THAT CRAP SO I WAS REALLY UPSET AND EVERYTHING. THEN TODAY MY FRIEND GIULIA'S DAD JUST GOT FOUR TICKETS TO SEE JONAS BROTHERS WHEN THEY'RE LIKE ALL SOLD OUT AND SHE'S ASKED ME, ALEX AND AMY TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MR CATTANEO, YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

Christian Dior, new collection today. To be honest, I think it hasn't changed much from last season. It's all really "Gallianoish" (is that even a word?). Nothing has caught my eye yet. Looks like Balmain's winning at the moment.. Let's see what happens tomorrow!

 VIVIENNE I LOVE YOU.

So I tried to order my coat from Topshop yesterday but my mum or dad's credit card never seem to work on www.topshop.com. It's so annoying.. So either I have to find time to go out and try find it or just keep on trying with the cards. But anyhow, I managed to find a skirt in the New Look sale for £9 and ordered that. I don't really shop at New Look, but I love this skirt. I think the waist detail looks really flattering and the buttons on the side are just adorable!

School was actually alright today, believe it or not! In English we have to analyze and compare two different cultural poems which was boring, but Tegan wasn't in today so it was even more boring haha. But Mrs Chow is actually starting to like Tim and Nathanael now.. Shock horror! Ahaha, then we had chemistry and Mrs Green made us watch some video about oil and fire, but I didn't learn a thing as Kelly and I were too busy tickling and stroking each other's legs and grabbing her feet. Oh dear, that sounds really wrong.. But it was hilarious hahaha. Double German was mmkay as well. We were just recapping stuff again which we might have forgotten over the holidays. Aww at lunch, Andre came in and then he was told to go home by Mrs Hooper. Guttard. Yeah and then Alex, Amy, Giulia and I went round school to stalk some certain people which made my day :) In maths I actually fell a sleep because it was so boring. Well I wouldn't say a sleep as in snoring, but you know when you like close your eyes and you don't know what's going on around you and then you open your eyes like ten seconds later? It was like that. IT was a complete load of bull.

Well I feel like having a lazy night in, I'm all aloney on my owney tonight as my mother is at a friends and my dad's at badminton club. Not really in the mood for anything to be honest, but I don't quite know why ahaha. Life's pretty good at the moment I suppose apart from some pressure at school and piano and all that. Anyway, tomorrow I was supposed to be hitting the shops with some of the girlies but I don't think we're going anymore because apparently we're going to London on the inset day on the 13th this month. Can't wait, I haven't been shopping in London in like agessss, since June. Need to dig out my Oyster Card and get some monies! But like before I went to New York I loved London so much, but I just find it rather boring now compared to New York. But nevertheless, I still love London a lot. So tomorrow don't think I have anything planned, but I do need to go to O2 to sort out my messed up sim card. It's not working at all, so there's been no texting or anything for like 3 days. Home aloney all on my owney again on Saturday afternoon and evening as mum and dad are going to Southampton because a friend is moving to America. On Sunday, they're off to Southampton again to another friend's house and this time I'm going along because I think Lisa and Jess will be there along with Jake and Gayz and Lulu who I haven't seen in ages.

Au revoir, xoxo

'Just One Spark Starts A Fire'

 BALMAIN.

Ahh YES! So PFW has finally started!! I've only seen stuff from Balenciaga and Balmain so far.. Balenciaga has a hard urban edge with blocks and bright colours but toned down with more neutral shades... But man.. Balmain just did it for me. It had that extra oooompth which just put me in awe. It was jungle chic meets army- military jackets emblazoned with crystals, distressed, aged, bleached, battered and splattered with holes.. That's just the way Christophe Decarnin rolls. HAHAH OMG JUST REALISED THAT RHYMES! How clever ahaha?

But man, this next week going to be très stupéfiant. The ones I'm most looking forward to seeing:

Found a new coat which I'm just about to order.. I need a new coat for school because my long black one from GAP is too thick for some types of weather and I'm not allowed to wear the MAX MARA(!) trench coat (which my mum's super, super, super, super, super rich friend bought me as a present- I obviously wouldn't be able to afford it myself!) to school because it's too light. So I went coat hunting last Saturday in Reading and bought this grey coat from H&M but I don't really like it so I'm returning that one and getting this one from Topshop. :) Hopefully The Anwar will let me wear it as she only allows "dark, plain coats with no logos".. But this colour is kinda medium dark.. Hmmm.

OKAY, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY: R.I.P. IKY PARAMORE MY INDONESIAN PERVERT.
Okay, to explain that, basically, some random Indonesian paedo added Amy on Facebook and he was like commenting on one of her statuses and yeah I had a go at him and then loads of people joined in and it turned into this massive arguement thing which was bloody hilarious hahaha. Anyway, yeah, and then like yesterday Indonesia had these massive earthquakes and nearly 1000 people have died so Iky is probably one of them. Ahahaha. I know I shouldn't be laughing, but it is rather appropriate for what I just said.

I have just come back from the dentist, what a lovely person. I really don't see why so many people are scared of them ahaha. Apparently my teeth are fine.. Open wide :D

Aww, well I had double history today. Mrs Kenny is off her head but that's why we love her. Seriously she's c-c-c-crazy. She said she used to go to school with Jordan's boyfriend Alex Reid and she said he was a right idiot and attention seeker mwahaa and she tells us lots of other fun stories, yay. Double PE is a right load of crap at the moment but I love it. All we do is badminton now which is good to me and Mrs Edwards never checks on what we're doing. Ewwwwwwwwww, but had the most hideous view while playing badminton: Nicole True wasn't wearing a bra so err yeah you can imagine what I saw ahahaha. Lunch was errr. Lunch. I can't even remember what happened lol. Right, well I said I didn't like Miss Chow in an earlier post, but she's alright now.. Well at least I like her. Everyone else still seems to hate her- especially Tegan, Matt, Tim and Jess haha. So we finished school early today at 2.10.. But didn't arrive home until like 2.45 because Alex and I waited for the later bus.. That bus was MASSIVE! And there were only like 10 of us on it haha. But yeah the journey home was lovely, we talked about stuff haha and a certain year eleven.. Maybe two certain year elevens ;)

lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove.

So yeah got home and watched the latest episode of JONAS. I've only just got round to watching it as I didn't have time on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. It was the one where they forget Stella's birthday.. Bless her. Nick♥.

I need to go have my dinner soon so bye.

'Maybe Two Is Better Than One'

Times Square at night.

View of uptown from The Empire State Building.

I♥
NY
Oh yes I do..

I've just realised it's exactly a month since I came back from New York.. *Sob :(*
Seriously, I miss it so much it's unreal! Like all I think of is NYCNYCNYCNYCNYCNYCNYC. It was amazing. From the apartments of the Upper East Side to smelly Chinatown to strolls in Central Park to running outside at 8 in the morning in the pouring rain in my pyjamas just to see Miley Cyrus to "crossing 14th Street" (yes I have made a reference to Gossip Girl and if anyone understands what I was on about, no I didn't have the same effect Blair Waldorf did aha). It is an incredible place. I don't think I'll ever forget it. I would kill to go back.

Anyhow, this NY shiz is depressing me. Had a science test today.. 'Twas hell, so was maths and then philosophy and ethics was just crap. However, there are a few people in my class who just make me LOL. At lunch, Kelly decided to shove an ice pack up my back, so i beat her to death for doing that and then had a lovely singing session with Ian, Stephen and Dom attempting to sing The Climb and Hey Stephen. They are both now completely stuck in my head. Ahh then after lunch was German AND French. Bloomin' lovely.

I had piano lessons today. Grade 8 is such a bore! Seriously! But I do need to get my head round it all and just start practicing properlly again. I haven't been practicing at all basically for like the past errr... Few months. So my day wasn't too good in the first place.. Switch on telly and guess who I see? Kim Kardashian. FML. FML. FML. I hate her. She has no right to fancy Nick Jonas, he's like ten years younger than her, then hug him for like 20 seconds on live television at The TCAs and embarrass him. I mean I know people call me a paedo at school for chasing little children around, but... What a cougar! Humphhh.

Now I'm like desperate for a wee wee. BRB!

Okay back from les W.C.. So yeah I decided to watch The Hills instead. I mean I know i used to despise LC and all her little gay friends running around L.A. but I guess I can kinda stand it now! Anyway, it was the episode where Lauren and Whitney go to Paris and it made me laugh haha. Basically, Lauren said to the driver, "Can we go to Givenchy please?" And she pronounced Givenchy like "giv-en-chee" and the driver was just like, "you mean Givenchy?" pronouncing it properly as "jee-von-she". OWNED. Totally. I mean she works for TEEN VOGUE and she doesn't even know how to pronounce Givenchy properlly? GET SOME SKILLZZZ WOMAN. Awwh man, all this Paris-ness makes me want to go to Paris! I haven't been in like five years... Time to do some convincing with the parents ;)

Goodnight and goodbye xxx

First Post (How Original?)

Hello ahh, yes until today, I have been a posting virgin. I've been reading various people's blogs on Blogger for a while, but I suddenly feel the urge to create an account and post something. But I don't quite know the reason why?

Anyway, today, I had school which was completely poop. Started off with a maths test! Which I know I have failed on, yet I still desperately want to find out my result! Then it was English. Don't even get me started about Miss Chow! She does my head in and she doesn't teach us a thing. Some people are thinking of complaining.. I might join them. IT AS was a complete waste of time. I really can't be bothered with all the coursework and I'm behind so badly... So guess I'll have to work my socks off at home this week to catch up! Lunch was... Lunch. Haha apart from the fact that a window in the English block got smashed because of Ben and Mike haha. But anyway, I had science in the maths block with Jeffrey (Mr Hill), my gay best friend Dom and I were lolling the whole way through lol. Jeffrey had these massive sweat patches on his back which was actually hilarious and disgusting at the same time! Gross! But yeah I have to admit, it was boiling in the room! Thank God for the air conditioning in the history block for last period, otherwise I think I might have passed out.

I still feel ill from yesterday which is a major bummer. Not really in the mood for anything, so I've been sat on the sofa with my laptop watching music channels and Disney Channel. Heaven :)




As MFW has nearly finished, I had another look at some of the collections.. I swear half of the stuff is see through? Ahaa, anyway, bring on Paris on Thursday! And then we say a farewell to fashion week.

Omg, as I was saying I was watching music channels, Taylor Swift has just come on. As most people know... I LOVE her. Literally LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and LOVE. So many loves it's not even possible- one day I shall marry you Tswizzle.

Righty, well I'm off to have dinner and then I have to revise for a science test tomorrow. FUN.

Au revoir. xxx
