The other day I had an epiphany (lets say a thought, like those you get when your on the toilet, you know, a one off random thought that makes you think about the previous thought even more, no? Okay. I guess it's just me). Well, anyway I got one of those and I realised that the real reason why I started a blog, was to express the things that I like. But I've noticed that I'm just trying to write about or post photos of what I think others will like. And I don't want to do that. I mean, there are lots of blogs out there that tell you everything that's on the catwalk this season or what's in and what's not. But I want my blog, well to be about me! Because to be fair there's only one person that I know most about (me!) and If I don't blog about her, the person who I know about most, who else am I going to do it about. There is no use rambling on about trends and clothes and models if I don't like it, don't enough enough about it or is too serious. As then it won't be different to other people's blogs and well that's what I wanna do! Clothes is something I love and blogging is something a want to love, so that I can show others, how fashion doesn't have to be about trends or how much it costs but about how much fun it is. I don't wanna give people what they already know or can find on a better, more professional site. SO, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE OUT THAT BLOGGING SHOULD BE ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LOVE AND NOT WHAT'S COOL...SO GO ONE MAKE YOURSELF A BLOG AND GO CRAZZZZYYY (also give me the link to it so I can support it)
So enough of my ramblingsss! Let me tell you what fashion related things I've been up to lately.
Well first of all after the notafahion show event, I went to a festival to celebrate the art of Indian dancing. It lasts for 9 days and I went to 4 out of them (as college and schoolwork gets in the way, boo!)

Hope you all like Indian clothes. When someone says 'Indian clothing' we quickly associate it with lots of colour, sequins, glitter and lots and lots of material, and let me tell you cuties, ya not wrong, it's exacly that! I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed posing for them.

day 1

day 2

day 3

day 4

I was soooo much fun! We danced into the night without any care in the world, looking as beautiful as everrr (well if beautiful=sweaty that is). It's funny how my hair is slowly turning ginger, I can't smile and I look nothing like the rest of my cousins (see last photo).

In my next post I shall show you more photos of the notafashion show event, a lovely day with my good friend and other random shenanigans! Soo keep checking back for more clothes and bad humour!

OH AND I'M GONNA BE IN THE NOTTINGHAM POST FOR MY TRENDY FASHION SENSE (kidding about the last bit. It's because my friend's got work experience at the local newspaper studio and she gets to do a post on street style, so bless the girl she asked me! YAY!)

Last Thursday I went to a event called 'Nota Fashionshow' . I only knew about it from a friend on the day, so unfortunately I could not participate in it. However, enjoy the beautiful photos of those who modelled down a red carpet at The Exchange Arcade in Nottingham.

Most of the models here are based in Nottingham and have styled themselves.

Look out for my next post which will feature an interview with Aja Ireland (the model in the first photo).

what i wore wednesday.

My v.smart Events Organiser outfit:

cream dress/top - Primark

black stir-up leggings - River Island

black tailored blazer - Dorothy Perkins

black t-bar flats - sister's wardrobe
black birkin style bag - Matalan

Average Wednesday. Double period of history. As exciting as the cold war gets, I actually enjoyed a bit of USA and USSR rivalry after a couple of horrible days at the hospital. Then I had frees which consisted of moaning at Nadine Coyle, Joe McElderry and Kelly Rowland's songs/videos on repeat on Viva in the college's refectory. But it was actually quite fun as we repeatedly sang 'It's T-shirt Timeee' in our best Pauly D voices. It's sad but I really love Jersey Shore. It brightens up my day, haha! For lunch I went to my weekly student exec meeting, where we discussed what theme to have for the snowball this December. Masquerade sound coooool? A la gossip girl and A Cinderella Story, yes please! The day then ended with me making some lovely pasta, watching 90210;s latest episode online (arrrggghhh it's sooo good!) and popping off to the hairdressers with the mother to get her haircut. It looks lavish. Little trim, lots of layers and thinned out, how I always have my hair. Mother's such a copycat, but she just says I'm trendsetter, haha, I wish. But it's okay, the mothers hair is a lot shorter and a rich black colour. When I got back home, the excellent events organiser that I am, I got my Vogue, Elle and Glamour copies out for some inspiration on the ball this xmas (as you can tell from the last photo).

Thank you soooooo much vouchercodes.co.uk. The day was amazing. I mean you can't not have fun when you're surrounded by clothes, makeup, freebies, models and martinis, non? It was heaven (minus my poor feet in them clogs)

London Fashion Weekend 2010 - Catwalk

I was supposed to post this last week but I was REALLY REALLY REALLY POORLY (so ill that I took days off college and the geek that I am that rarely happens), so here it is now!

Saturday was utterly amazingg! And because of this I am going to dedicate LFW 2010 3 posts. Split into the catwalk, the show bag and outfit/random posts of the day.

These were all taken by my lovely sister, who has now left me to go to university in Leicester to be a doctor.

Even though all the outfits are gorgeous and I'd lurrrvve to have them all, my fave outfit has to be the pinkish/reddish long-sleeved top with the tight black trousers. It's a simple outfit yet SO fabulous and original. I love the deep neck regardless of the model having no chest (like me) and the way the fabric clings to the arms so delicately.

'till next time, xoxo
