I want one of those!

I want one of those!
So, i've been exploring the library recently, (I know. It's not nerdy! Specially when there's Katie Price books) and I was a little dismayed when I found out this bestseller, wasn't stocked yet. I check out www.lovereading4kids.co.uk and love the young adult section. Besides the gripping vampire tales, there's lots to explore. Especially this little read. Here's the synopsis. 'Afghanistan. In the heat and dust, young British army medic Elinor Nielson watches an Afghan girl walk into a hail of bullets. But when she runs to help, Ellie finds her gone. Who is she? And what's happened to her? What Ellie discovers makes her question everything she believes in - even her feelings for the American lieutenant who takes her side.' Different to my usual girly, shopaholic book. Want more? Check it out on Amazon.

Runway

Why wear one lovely piece when five look even lovelier? This t'was the question for Autumn/Winter 2012.  And why stick to one luxe fabric when a wealth of lavish layers looks so spectacular? Pairing skirts (Very Peplum) with trousers is key to the new layered look - seen at Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Prada -  styled slim and cropped. It's also been spotted on celebrities such as Florence Welch. Top tips to conquer this trend:

• Key to the new layered look is the pairing of skirts and trousers - if that feels a little extreme, try wearing a tunic over trousers instead.
• If the thought of layering makes you feel overwhelmed, steamline the look by cinching your waist or choose a cropped jacket instead of a full-length style.
• Height is a necessity as a longer line stops the look feeling bulky, so add heels or autumn's favourite flat-form creepers.

   

Olympics?

What about the 'Fashion Olympics'? Who do you think would be representing various countries if these were real? Would Alexa Chung do the UK? Or  Elle McPherson for Australia? I'd love your thoughts :)

Olympic fashion!

Olympic fever!
The world's top supermodels have joined to celebrate the Olympics, in style. Including Kate and Naomi in September's Vogue issue. (My birthday month!). On the closing ceremony note, we've heard gossip that Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell would be in attendance of the Olympics closing ceremony, but now more details of the spectacle are being leaked. The Mirror reported that the models will be joined by fellow cat-walking Brits Lily Cole,Lily Donaldson and Georgia May Jagger for the show, said to be called “A Symphony of British Music.” The ladies will strut their stuff in British designs (Stella McCartney to name one) as David Bowie performs his aptly-titled hits Fashion and Rebel Rebel. Check these piccies. Loving the 'Midas touch' gowns.  

Friday 3rd August (August already!)

Friday!

Today was interesting. DAMN IT! Didn't tell you about the scenario at the cinema yesterday. Well, I didn't get in to the 15. Cheeky staff. They allow you to purchase tickets- fine. You go up to get in; they mention ID. They could've said that when I handed my money over! Funny thing was there were no coats about, when we 'fainted' he didn't move away from his post and there wasn't a crowd we could sneak in with. Cover blown. We even complimented his bed-head hairdo. Nothing. Funny things was there were a load of other teenagers, without ID, who didn't get in aswell. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of cheesed off teenagers now. Also, got told I was 'really fit' by someone who really wasn't. Awks. I guess doing the prank call saying, 'Darling I'm pregnant' to him earlier in the week was a bit... Oh well. I didn't come up with it. See, if my bezzie (Nerd) did it she'd be found out, but if I do it I don't get found out. Oh yeah babes. We had this painter round our house today, he even said 'Those kids should be helping me.' Yeah, what do we pay YOU to do? Work. He also made my poor mummy with a bad back work. She's now ruined her back thank you very much. He was just there chatting all day aswell. Me helping? LOL. Having a laugh. Us kids don't work. We sit. See ya's for tomorrow! x HCO Summer gear all the way. Bright colours to show off that 'impeccable' tan.

Wednesday!

Today was interesting. OMG Wednesday already! Felt like I wasted my holidays, so I thought 'Lets see Ted!'. Oh gonna see that tomorrow. Tonight i'll prepare my fake id :P Even though i'm 14 and three quarters and let's be honest they want their money; so they won't care. Anyway, I entered a contest to win a new television. AND.... I WON IT! I actually ran home (I was out eating, as per usual when I got the call). I got in (Thinking I was alone as She was out to get petrol)... So, I made up a song and dance about the TV. 'Do ray me for a TV'. Don't ask. I jumped into the kitchen to find myself surrounding by serious, looking people in suits. Looking at me, in my PJ's, singing like a Glee star. Awkward. In total there must have been about six of them all having a very deep discussion! For about 30 seconds, there was complete silence until my Mum burst out laughing and they all joined in! I ran out of the room with my face feeling as if it was on fire! Oh well. Off to get a fake ID printed, I sound like one of those movies. I asked She, 'Could I pass for 15?'. 'Nah, fat chance of that. You can bearly make it into the 12s.' Thanks. Good job she knows the clerks at the cinema. See ya's for tomorrow.
