UGLY BETTY

2009-07-31T02:08:00.000-07:00

Ugly Betty has finally started again here in the UK and i'm about 3 episodes in. Diet Coke are the sponsors for the ad and I really just found them plain and annoying at the beginning but believe it or not it has grown on me. The dolls are actually quite interesting and so are the ads, this was the only one I could find on YouTube to show you. There are some more interesting ones but I'll put

Today was GOOD GOOD GOOD. Work experience finally got interesting! Was shadowing a divorce lawyer and got to go to court, the woman I was shadowing was so lovely and actually gave me things to do (besides filing, coffee etc.) bless her heart!It rained cats and dogs today too, glad I was wearing my riding boots. No wet feet today, HOORAY!What I'm Wearing: Cream lace blouse, Accesorize Chanel-esque

So. Here it is, an outfit post. I'm [discreetly] hiding my sunburn with my hair. OUCH! It really really REALLY hurts. Half the Nivea Cooling After Sun Spray has disappered, maybe I'm just a little paranoid, but who wouldn't be walking into a law office looking like a salmon or as my sister has called me since sunday "Patrick," you know, the cute little starfish on Spongebob, well, I think he's

SUNBURNT: Yes, I've become a victim of sunburn. Went to watch The Ashes on Sunday in Caerdydd and who could have thought it, sunburnt in England? Should have listened to my mates when they constantly verbally attacked me, telling me to put on sunblock and a hat. Well, I guess I'm paying for it today. And, even more so, because I started my work experience at a law firm. Yes. That's right. I

Here's what I'm wearing today. The sun is trying to peer through these clouds but, hey, it's summer so I'm bringing out the florals:I'm selling the outfit below. The dress is so "minnie mouse" it's gorgeous. It's actually a size 18 top from Dorothy Perkins but I wear it as a dress size 8/10. The belt is going to be sold with it too, it's a good cinching belt. The total for this outfit? £15

Forgot to say, I got my hair cut the other day, you can't see it in these pics though because I'm wearing it in a bun, it's about shoulder length now, I don't feel the same without my long locks. Well I wore this today to do a bit of shopping and then I watched Billy Elliot (love it!) I'm wearing a waistcoat, Barbara Hulanicki for Topshop Skirt and a Christian Lacroix for EJF t-shirt which I'm

Woah! While watching Billy Elliot I really did go over board on the inspirational posts so I have made a vow to only post outfit pictures for a while. I think that sometimes personal style is the best inspiration and I don't know about you but I love seeing what real people wear on sites like lookbook.nu so keep checking back, I'll be doing almost daily outfit posts next week.

As promised I wore my new spicy pink heels today. Teamed them with ripped denim jeans and a floaty Barbara Hulanicki Top, unfortunately it rained and I think I've already ruined the suede on the shoes. Got a few weird looks but obviously those people don't appreciate fashion!Btw the shop has been updated and I'm also going to sell the Barbara Hulanicki Top I'm wearing below, I've got two of them

However, instead of an outfit post I decided to dedicate a post to the one and only Michael Jackson, I know it's a bit late and I'm sorry but I was a true fan and was devestated, it's embarassing to admit but when I heard the news at first I thought it was a joke but on hearing that it was

And, typical that as soon as I am free to roam the world after exams that the rain comes. So, more inspiration, I perused through my computer files to give you this selection!Btw, anyone know how to make these pictures bigger? I'm clicking large but they look medium

Ahoy there matey!

2009-06-05T13:18:00.000-07:00

Yes, I found the camera cord! So here is me working the peg leg look a few days ago and I told you I loved 80s denim so teamed these trousers with a denim jacket! I'm finding this look surprisingly flattering.I have found so many things inspirational these days, which you can probably tell from like my last three posts. PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES. I think the loss of my camera cord allowed me

2009-06-05T00:39:00.000-07:00

The sun is non existent today. Oh, I may write an ode but right now what is keeping me happy is the fact that it is summer, sun, sand and surf! Brading hair by the lake, staying up till late and not freezing my arse off! Bohemian, festival, 80's denim...I'm particularly in L.O.V.E with 80's denim at the moment combined with acid wash tops. Hmmm, that gives me an idea for today's outfit.Will post

I will post some outfits soon, I donned the cute peg leg trouser look the other day in the summer heat so keep your eyes peeled for that.
