Hair Dilemma

World, meet my future hair:

I have always wanted a short-cropped pixie hair cut. Always. It is with this thought in mind that I've finally considered cutting all my hair off. Given that my hair is boob-length and hasn't seen above my shoulders for several years, this may seem a little bit drastic, but I am so ready to see the back of it. I can't do anything with it at this length. Well, I can, but I can't be bothered to. I wash it, let it dry, barely run a brush through it, and that's it. My GHD's get the occasional usage, but mostly from my thieving mother, who keeps them in her room for days at a time until I notice they're not gathering dust on my shelves and retrieve them.

So, should I take the plunge?

Dreams ... shattered

I saw these glove mittens (glittens??) on Tommy Ton's street style shots from Fashion week and fell in love. So I searched like the entire internet looking for them (during English class...) and found that they are Steven Alan, leather and cashmere, and cost $85 (which according to xe.com is 56.5248 GBP)

I don't even buy dresses that cost that much (unfortunately), and even if I did have that sort of money, they're not selling them on his site anymore! So my dreams of having warm and stylish hands next autumn/winter are crushed unless someone sells them on ebay for maybe a tenner in the next 6 months. :'(

Pet hates: Leggings

I'd like to say that I lead an exciting life, and many things I do are of consequence... But I'd be lying. The most I get up to in a day does not really amount to much. I get up, go to college, hang with friends, write, eat, sleep...

But today the thoughts flooding my brain have revolved mostly around how ugly and unflattering leggings can be. I've only had one morning class (English Language) today, and whilst considering ways of confusing my mum by telling her she never respects my negative face in linguistic terms, I managed to pass several girls who seemed to think that leggings are an alternative to trousers or jeans, which I'd say they are not. If anything they're an alternative to tights, and would you wear tights on their own with just a short top? I don't think so. You wear them under shorts or a dress or a skirt, and that is exactly how leggings should be worn, if they really must at all.

I can't really explain my dislike for leggings, it's just one of those things, and I think worn right they can look good... on other people. But not me, because you won't find me wearing them.

Success!

I feel really pleased because I bought Barry M Mint Green nail polish in the hopes of reproducing my own high street version of Chanel Jade (because, as I may possibly have mentioned before -hackcough- I'm poor) and yesterday someone asked me if I was wearing Chanel nail polish!!!!!

Success!

once again addressing money issues whilst obsessing over expensive clothes

Being depressingly poor has somehow not stopped me from going shopping, and even if I'd tried to be ignorant of it, it's difficult not to notice the heavy influences of high fashion this season on the high street. Lace, denim, over-sized tshirts with breton stripes, several different takes on nautical, the short trench, and beautiful neutral colours. I am a sucker for minimalism, and I can happily spend a ton of money just on unembellished shirts in a smorgasbord of pastel colours.

... I can't remember where I was going with this, but yeah anyways I think I was just saying that IT IS DEPRESSING that I want to buy EVERYTHING in H&M, New Look and Topshop right now. Especially the former... Everything is so pretty I just want to throw it all into a pile and sit in the middle of it. I don't exactly know what that would achieve, but I feel that it would be incredibly satisfying.

OH AND for the FRTW2010 shows so far, my favourites are A.F. Vandevorst with the beige body armour pieces over flowing, drapey trousers... Plus they drew on their models with chalk which I personally think is pretty immense;



and Elie Saab's ever-beautiful floorlength sheer black gowns that make me wish I was insanely rich just so I can own one. In fact, upon seeing that collection I told my mum...

ME: Mum?
MUM: -pauses tele- yes?
ME: When I'm on the red carpet, I will wear an Elie Saab dress.
MUM: Oh... -rolls eyes and unpauses tele-

Yeah. So. One day I will be on the red carpet for some reason or other, maybe, and then I will wear Elie Saab. Like Rachel McAdams at this year's Oscars, wearing my most favouritest dress ever!! Oh Elie Saab, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
