She's Back And Better Than Ever!

Hello all! Summer went by FAR too quickly, didn't it!? All eight weeks of it...And August really didn't count. In fact, August was practically autumn, which pained me. It was so dreary and humid I was in jeans for the rest of the summer. No wear out of my shorts AT ALL.

What's my September about? Hmmm..the return to school means it's impossible to navigate your way down the high street without being practically battered to death by a sea of pushy parents trying to grab their little Jimmy 3 Casio calculators for the price of 2. You also can't lie down in the park any more :'(, cause if you do you'll get brown crinkly leaves plastered to you or wet patches on your behind from the deceptively dry-looking grass...Suddenly there's a chill in the air and flicking on the central heating becomes a daily occurrence, as does the re-emergence of huge woolly sweaters from the attic storage. Sob.

On the bright side, all the best shows return in September...including the fashion shows! NY Fashion Week's already kicked off and I'm following it religiously :) More on that later. TV show-wise? GOSSIP GIRL. IS. BACK IN MY LIFE. Can't wait for the second episode of the new season, out tonight - it'll be on Sidereel by tomorrow.

Anyway, along with the majority of other British students, I went back to school last week...and I'm inundated with homework already. I accidentally let it pile up last week and now I've got three essays to do by tomorrow. Sweet, sweet joy. (So why am I on here?) Oh, and before I forget - well done to everyone who got their GCSE results back last month (and AS and A results as well)! According to BBC News the overall pass rate was 98.4% and 65.7% of exams taken were awarded A* - C grades, the highest statistic in 18 years, so I hope everyone's happy with their marks! :) :) :)

HAHA! Another thing before we start talking business...or fashion, or whatever. In Astronomy today we discussed "scintillation" and I found out the true physicist's meaning - scintillation = stars twinkling. Made me smile to myself.

ANYWAY. Rebellion's a key trend at the mo and I'm luuurving all things tough generally...Refer to Alexander Wang's A/W 08/09 (below) for the ultimate sexy rebel collection.






1. A leather jacket is a classic wardrobe staple! I'd been lusting after one for ages and FINALLY got one yesterday. In my opinion, a leather jacket's the one item of clothing that mixes being defiantly sexy with effortless coolness. And they keep you warm(ish), of course. Practicality, sexiness and coolness? SCORE.
From left to right: Biker jacket, £100, . Hooded bomber jacket, £100, . Hooded jacket, £595, Mike & Chris at .



2. Love these fingerless gloves - they give me some degree of warmth whilst allowing me to show off my brightly-coloured nail polish, plus they combine grunge with military. Open any October edit of a fashion magazine and those trends will scream up at you from the pages :) £16,



3. More leather - jump on the trend bandwagon early with this Thomas Burberry leather mini. Leather skirts were all over the Resort 09 collections. £200, my-wardrobe.com

That's all for now folks, got to address the homework situation before it swallows me whole and spits me out in front of the entire class tomorrow. I'm going to try and post more frequently though - I know I've been negligent! Lots of love :)
