<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A clutch by Christopher Kane! I know I shouldn't have but it was reduced from around £395 to £140 including p&p, which nobody can deny is a huge reduction. And Kane is by far my favourite designer, I really could not resist. Online shopping is dangerous and in future I will avoid it like the plague!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However this morning I got a call from my mum and apparently I've won the prize for textiles from my secondary school (based on A-Level results), and the prize is £100! So that makes me feel better since most of my little splurge has been covered :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just a little update to show you my room now that I have fully unpacked :) It's way bigger than I had expected which is nice, and I have my own ensuite shower and toilet. There isn't much happening this week during the day so I've just been hanging out with flat/blockmates, but on monday I go into uni for the first time to enrol which i'm looking forward to. There's a massive UV party the night before though so I don't want to stay up too late!</span>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-57351573004611928752012-09-08T16:34:00.001+01:002012-09-08T16:34:16.109+01:00Off to uni!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow i'm going to university for the first time!! Well sort of- i'm moving into my accommodation but then I have freshers, so I don't go into uni until the 17th really. I know I haven't posted anything for a while again and I don't know what my schedule will be like when I move so we'll just have to see how it goes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is a mad packing day; most things are sorted now, and I just finished packing my clothes! (Apart from coats and jackets that is). The photo shows less than half the clothes i'm taking haha, I didn't realise I had so many! I still have about half a wardrobe full too, but they are staying at home. That leopard print dress above is amazing, I bought it yesterday from topshop and it's kind of neoprene fabric- my new favourite!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">p.s. my course is fashion design with production and marketing, at the University of Huddersfield- maybe it will inspire me to keep up with this blog!</span>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-68460334239215715472012-08-06T17:32:00.000+01:002012-08-06T17:32:00.245+01:00Milan Part 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will try not to write too much since this post has lots of images, but sometimes I can't help but narrate because a) not everyone has been to/knows Milan, and b) I had an amazing time.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is during the daytime (obviously) but I was in this square at like 3am once with the girl I was staying with, and it was PACKED full of people all sitting down chatting, drinking and smoking.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later that evening (after I met up with a certain gorgeous 23 year old Milanese boy...) I had dinner outside D'uomo sat at the base of a lamp post. Then this other Milanese man came over and starting chatting to me (late twenties, maybe 30)! I swear men in Milan/Italy are much more forward, but in a nice charming way.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I did get a bit sick of panini (in Italian panino=1, panini= plural) towards the end of the month, and my host mum gave me a pack of 4 mini yoghurts one day so I bought a fruit salad to go with them. It was delicious!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My balcony on the last day, about 20 minutes after I woke up. I was so sad to leave so I took tons of photos.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was my favourite place to hang out around the house, lying down on my balcony listening to my iPod. My flight wasn't until the early afternoon so I spent most of the morning of the last day here, crying because I really, really did not want to come home! Even now if someone offered me a place to stay/ another internship in Milan, I would go tomorrow.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aaaand back at King's Cross. Considering I came home on the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and had to travel across London with my suitcase, it wasn't all that busy. Before this trip I never drank coffee but as soon as I got back I had a cappuccino from Pret, and as you can see I went to American Apparel at the train station. Oops! I will have to show you what I bought soon, it's in the wash at the moment.</span><br />

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that i'm properly settled back in England (although i'd still rather be in Milan), I got a craving the other day to visit the charity shop. I never really went regularly because I'd always see something that I couldn't afford, or I wouldn't have money for at the moment then next time it would be gone. But I swear this particular charity shop is the best thing about Peterborough; it's two storeys, three rooms full of womenswear, menswear, accessories and a bit of homeware. It is a specialist 'vintage and retro' Sue Ryder charity shop so prices are slightly higher than in 'regular' charity shops, but it's worth it because you always find something amazing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I walked in and went straight to the shoes, and found the most perfect chunky Kickers ever; they were like men's deck shoes crossed with builder's work boots, but with a heel. I almost died with happiness, then I saw they were a size 4 and I really died, in a bad way- i'm a size 5. I tried but they were definitely too small, so reluctantly carried on. In the end I bought a mid length slip and a pair of chunky black patent leather heels. These photos were obviously not planned for the blog since I just took them in a mirror (my mum's- mine is too dirty!), but oh well you get the idea. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay so whilst I know I still have no proper excuse for not blogging for so long, but I do for July. Because I was in MILAN (!!) doing WORK EXPERIENCE with a FASHION DESIGN COMPANY (!!!). As you can perhaps tell this was super exciting! Four whole weeks living with a Milanese family, working full time at Krizia. It was heaven (eventually, after a few days of adjustment), and by the end I really, really didn't want to leave. These are just a few of the photos I took; I have more to upload but I thought it would be less heavy to have 2 separate posts.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And this is the view from my balcony at the apartment in Milan- I was so lucky because I had my own balcony, bathroom with a shower and even a separate front door which went straight into my room. The family were so relaxed and let me come and go as I pleased, which was awesome! That's the part of being back home i'm struggling with now, as I don't have as much freedom (can't wait for uni!)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I had a roasted vegetable and mozzarella panino almost every day for lunch from a kiosk near work- so yummy! Also there was a gorgeous guy who worked there which may have had some influence on my choice of lunch venue (we had a bit of a thing actually, but I won't go into details here!)</span><br />

Taylor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw this book in a charity shop in Hunstanton (small coastal town, my family has a flat there so we go often) ages ago, before I went to Milan. I thought it was cool but never bought it, because I guess I thought my parents would be like 'what are you doing you weirdo'. But then when I saw it again last weekend I thought what the hell, for 80p I must have this book! It's mainly pictures of the artist's work, along with a few quotes from him and from literature/ poetry. I love hair, so I love this book too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a bad, bad blogger. Let's get things rolling again by showing you what I had for breakfast yesterday! I found a recipe whilst browsing tumblr (that holy grail of inspiration) for <a href="http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/07/26/reeses-peanut-butter-cup-baked-oatmeal/" target="_blank">'Peanut Butter Chocolate Baked Oatmeal'</a>. It said it was 280 calories which I would say is about right for breakfast, and cereal gets boring sometimes, so I thought what the heck let's try it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Easiest recipe ever, I had all the ingredients already and you just mix them together like so:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi35kY88HG6QpIssGqndg8ecS3N32jkNSMApvzecDrbHg6HJS0nZhhI0JlTtt6nZYczhx-kNxWALNyaIlzeZTFMEqAWvBVnt8dFS7AtVoresvf1qvLr58aXWzXhJYxRNcUqo0d9N092mlc4/s1600/IMG_0160.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi35kY88HG6QpIssGqndg8ecS3N32jkNSMApvzecDrbHg6HJS0nZhhI0JlTtt6nZYczhx-kNxWALNyaIlzeZTFMEqAWvBVnt8dFS7AtVoresvf1qvLr58aXWzXhJYxRNcUqo0d9N092mlc4/s320/IMG_0160.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Then you pour it into a ramekin and bake for around 20 minutes (I left it in for 23 so make it a bit firmer), after which it looks like this:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilbOFWhZLIjPyIBpNUPJaZMCcirRJJc5DSo214IvSvMTrYL0Y7ZrL3aCkBAa6EHQR14Bfl-AQt5sRhz8yK-57nwDheUXtTVYjWb9NfjltwSgiCFeEruXLld_vjRTvXwdfDefC95HvZc5a2/s1600/IMG_0164.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilbOFWhZLIjPyIBpNUPJaZMCcirRJJc5DSo214IvSvMTrYL0Y7ZrL3aCkBAa6EHQR14Bfl-AQt5sRhz8yK-57nwDheUXtTVYjWb9NfjltwSgiCFeEruXLld_vjRTvXwdfDefC95HvZc5a2/s320/IMG_0164.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Remember to grease the ramekin first! Then it comes out super easy, as you can see below.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The ingredients called for 1/4 cup of mashed banana which only used up half my banana, so to prevent wastage I mashed the other half and used it as a kind of icing- it tasted better than it looks I promise! I can't really describe the texture, it wasn't as light or spongy as a muffin but also it wasn't super dense. Either way it filled me up until lunchtime which is always good in my books!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think this will be a good one for uni maybe to even make the night before and just grab and go in the morning- the ingredients are all super basic and could probably be played around with a bit to make different flavours. If you try it then let me know how you get on!</span></div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-34707798220870474422012-03-10T17:22:00.002+00:002012-03-10T18:49:49.420+00:00Shopping Trip<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOeHCla7FZGruB9zUhFs6hBUG77JQ-cP9ywi79noEcpMQPyFDh1nZtxeeLp5zVjLdx_bF8ThK6ryTHU2KRBkziqTE_yF1TTRwXffoROo687mnAFKMTGdmo_eeaRtchVmnwDC1fNncO2RK7/s1600/IMG_0521.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOeHCla7FZGruB9zUhFs6hBUG77JQ-cP9ywi79noEcpMQPyFDh1nZtxeeLp5zVjLdx_bF8ThK6ryTHU2KRBkziqTE_yF1TTRwXffoROo687mnAFKMTGdmo_eeaRtchVmnwDC1fNncO2RK7/s400/IMG_0521.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718320762777800066" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>jacket, dress, blouse, bag- charity shops, brogues and belt- H&M</i></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3xV2iyIymrcTnFgiqA9XnVF4CabylK_x0zB4UPgPwpfE-gIHlFJiPjGCltemwueEzyFgIQF53XcDcH1vYmnYHwBmNBlMGBXUyC023zsPydZ2JaT-1pYiLJ-AQgOdrp_oXUw_NaxkyIIu/s1600/IMG_0524.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3xV2iyIymrcTnFgiqA9XnVF4CabylK_x0zB4UPgPwpfE-gIHlFJiPjGCltemwueEzyFgIQF53XcDcH1vYmnYHwBmNBlMGBXUyC023zsPydZ2JaT-1pYiLJ-AQgOdrp_oXUw_NaxkyIIu/s400/IMG_0524.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718320751380571778" /></a>Hey everyone! Haven't posted for a while again, nothing interesting ever seems to occur to me haha. This September i'm going to uni (to study fashion design) so I should have much more to talk about, and I won't have to wear a uniform any more so there will be more outfit posts! This is what I wore today to go into town, as I had a few things to get mainly from the charity shops. It's my friend's 18th birthday party next sunday and there's a 50's and 60's theme, so I had to find an outfit and luckily found a lovely skirt to go with the blouse I wore today- I will definitely post photos next week! Overall it was actually a great haul today, including a saucepan and colander for uni (just under £4 each) as well as these clear plastic neon bags.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdlti3EHPCf7xs_0L8R2RqmA_8cmcCExcFZ-7QYF6F28Qh8hfqt0lRFXARbrdFJICIgYZ8TZz8bz3bgGLk4lKlRs-YCuamexSbifZH9DQhGquP1lBAp4-Dpap7nVA4vnz8uaBMqQmS7sq-/s1600/IMG_0529.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdlti3EHPCf7xs_0L8R2RqmA_8cmcCExcFZ-7QYF6F28Qh8hfqt0lRFXARbrdFJICIgYZ8TZz8bz3bgGLk4lKlRs-YCuamexSbifZH9DQhGquP1lBAp4-Dpap7nVA4vnz8uaBMqQmS7sq-/s400/IMG_0529.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718320742947475330" /></a>I wasn't sure whether to get them at first but though what the hell, for only £3 i'm sure I can get some use out of them. The biggest one is the only one really, well, big enough to use as a handbag, but those canvas handles are hideous and just make it look even cheaper so I might see if I can do something about that. <div>All of this shopping for uni things makes me so excited! Now that I've confirmed my offer and applied for finance and accommodation everything seems so real, I really can't wait to go live by myself and study fashion full time. Anyone else going to university this year? If so, what are you studying?</div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-88276753406378569172012-02-21T20:35:00.002+00:002012-02-21T20:48:52.750+00:00Sweet Controversy<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 249px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivwC8GNN0xpmgApXx9fGxd9FuW1iLLX76zxar76k40XOgIQzqH2PUjCrUsidixjHbeDz-jfU_I0dB819pqta8MHg6Hk6eW7QFilLDZi7WQz35y19VuXG_WuxOarqCbb1MojPCM8Yoq4jZ9/s400/Sadie+Frost%2527s+daughter+Iris.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711690406577442866" />I saw on the Daily Telegraph website earlier that Sadie Frost's daughter Iris caused 'controversy' at LFW by wearing a dress covered in love hearts which upon closer inspection said some apparently dodgy/ inappropriate things for a 14 year old, such as 'drop dead' and 'please drown'. I personally don't think her age makes any difference in this case; by the age 14 i'm certain I had heard much worse than anything written on that dress! Sadie Frost said the dress was a present, and I think it's a great individual piece- sweet but still packs a punch when you look properly. Unfortunately I can't say I like the rest of her outfit much, especially those white lace tights, but kudos for the dress anyway!Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-12345919647053433312012-02-21T19:36:00.002+00:002012-02-21T19:45:05.673+00:00Christopher Kane is still good as gold...or purple leopard print<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRBB5Qikms4uz7aSRG_gjtwWz43txEh7vAMeHIZg-yvZ0NSxEusGHRbGmOcunJ0auaD91I1POkM5qixU8pMPY2c05Rr81AWyIS_pnUePKNVGOYacyXkf9O1Gh1AcG84UCKt4bBVGUnzoL/s1600/00360m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsRBB5Qikms4uz7aSRG_gjtwWz43txEh7vAMeHIZg-yvZ0NSxEusGHRbGmOcunJ0auaD91I1POkM5qixU8pMPY2c05Rr81AWyIS_pnUePKNVGOYacyXkf9O1Gh1AcG84UCKt4bBVGUnzoL/s400/00360m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711675864647742658" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkn0y50mtU92KsqMQDlOoR9SfLTCTB7vVJP-1muo3lvxmmbzKPVtPflNIqN2IAPoXIq5R1VBazm4bGEQX_-bxEgaKbDUEroITpWzUr-xAtUdP7VJnQbdr0l3TsSbdspoO5Le70W7ZgevJ7/s1600/00350m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkn0y50mtU92KsqMQDlOoR9SfLTCTB7vVJP-1muo3lvxmmbzKPVtPflNIqN2IAPoXIq5R1VBazm4bGEQX_-bxEgaKbDUEroITpWzUr-xAtUdP7VJnQbdr0l3TsSbdspoO5Le70W7ZgevJ7/s400/00350m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711675859816306738" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFid3Uo-Iz7dQKQgRQh4ogHKqeEsJnWgVH6ALhyphenhyphenevyj3zMLiZg2LOL8ZcnLrlxuypWOp3RByr_Fo5EA0msplMc9StdTY7JNbwpsfdimY9Hv4Kw2ELEyl2dhGybWQSSYzQ3aqM_zzqX6RXI/s1600/00210m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFid3Uo-Iz7dQKQgRQh4ogHKqeEsJnWgVH6ALhyphenhyphenevyj3zMLiZg2LOL8ZcnLrlxuypWOp3RByr_Fo5EA0msplMc9StdTY7JNbwpsfdimY9Hv4Kw2ELEyl2dhGybWQSSYzQ3aqM_zzqX6RXI/s400/00210m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711675645402311362" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEnKw8Yl_UPQU9IPQRf71MxtZc8w-YUcDIfPdZqQMTkAwg7DOb078MtsbYSPj3VA4imELvN9wgUjTfsgJ0SkW70rkShhOK-jlILqbEdM0yYeb2gYo00zxqDzx-InUXDWuDMfFWGOZSL5X/s1600/00180m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCEnKw8Yl_UPQU9IPQRf71MxtZc8w-YUcDIfPdZqQMTkAwg7DOb078MtsbYSPj3VA4imELvN9wgUjTfsgJ0SkW70rkShhOK-jlILqbEdM0yYeb2gYo00zxqDzx-InUXDWuDMfFWGOZSL5X/s400/00180m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711675634637339426" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJiBsAErqCW78CQbXoWRPr-4Z0alAES2QD9zWIv_pCk_-lkbmM-_Vohm3XQCfbUcbnSPlUl3IQ9wGbOUnGDLCnPGEyyvPbzD06jrZTbZwMY8DXFNNHRahe2lAnyrZtOfqwmDhWEjaAkgWm/s1600/00140m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJiBsAErqCW78CQbXoWRPr-4Z0alAES2QD9zWIv_pCk_-lkbmM-_Vohm3XQCfbUcbnSPlUl3IQ9wGbOUnGDLCnPGEyyvPbzD06jrZTbZwMY8DXFNNHRahe2lAnyrZtOfqwmDhWEjaAkgWm/s400/00140m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711675621738559938" /></a><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8xmSfvj-Q3_WF-JEnlMqIMVkDJGkTwOmod41_oCtiuEzStOt6FH_297yj3axjuGBFWQx1lt9uoMIMPNb1PB6hdhlwUyc0waawjFr-QlWgoONZeXt11333JJxcwZNlHojTgngLottwfku/s1600/00100m.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8xmSfvj-Q3_WF-JEnlMqIMVkDJGkTwOmod41_oCtiuEzStOt6FH_297yj3axjuGBFWQx1lt9uoMIMPNb1PB6hdhlwUyc0waawjFr-QlWgoONZeXt11333JJxcwZNlHojTgngLottwfku/s400/00100m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711675620530442834" /></a>As per usual I adored the Christopher Kane show; he seems to be the one designer I can never get enough of! With this collection he said he wanted to go more grungy, and he certainly achieved that whilst also managing to include some weird 90's looking elements such as that lilac and purple leopard print!? I especially like that 'last' outfit (I uploaded these in reverse order accidentally, it was earlier on in the show) with the loose leather bow around the skirt- a DIY opportunity if ever I saw one! </div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-44095666929715943952012-02-19T19:08:00.000+00:002012-02-19T20:00:29.975+00:00Topshop Unique A/W '12<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPNGagq7l6OKTzAB1p-Ge0W7_t8wHRS1I8EXrhHUhySYKQRSiBbzHn3F1L2PaUxkA6Hp2Eq-QW8AQ93sCjNBGoKt7dikHk5uINalynPus57fTmY95nR9uFtikLGgGnn8WFpY7IVorMaxOi/s1600/Unique12-getty_2143637a.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

I was completely blown away by the Topshop Unique collection, don't get me wrong they are always good but generally you can tell that it's a high street store. Whereas this season with Kate Phelan as creative director for the first time, I thought it was stunning. Literally every look was beautiful, and I have already created a mental shopping list of things to look out for in shops and charity shops.

I can't promise how often i'll post, but it depends on how interesting my life is/becomes. <br /><div align="left">Yesterday I went to London with my brother to do research for my art exam project 'The Natural Environment', mainly drawing and photographing different environments. Unfortunately our train was delayed and took 3 hours instead of just over 1, but I had this delicious chocolate cream wafer to eat which I bought from the oriental supermarket the previous day. We also had waffles from this stall along Oxford Street which were tasty but waaaay too filling, and expensive!</div></div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-17831275980230466342011-09-21T21:59:00.000+01:002011-09-24T21:04:43.367+01:00Meadham Kirchhoff ss '12<div align="center">By far my favourite show of London fashion week has been Meadham Kirchhoff- not only were the clothes amazing, the show itself was so fun and theatrical. It began with a whole group of Courtney Love style girls powdering their faces and putting on lipstick, and then they all started dancing and the show really began. Later on there were even little ballerinas!</div><br /><div align="center">The runway was decked out with loads of streamers and balloons in pastel colours, looking like an old style school prom.

It was only started on 1st September but already has tons of readers- probably helped largely because Tavi (of Style Rookie) is the editor and told all of her followers about it. I don't think I could ever explain or describe it as well as Tavi herself did, so I will just leave you with her 'editor's letter' from the site:<br /><br /><br /><div><em>When I started thinking about the possibility of Rookie a year or so ago, it seemed like a good venue for pure aesthetic enjoyment and smart, fun writing. As my freshman year of high school progressed, I found myself needing something that could be more than that. I suppose that was a result of some experiences specific to me, and some more typical among females my age. But I don’t want to even think about what makes someone “just your average teenage girl,” or whether I fit that mold, or if that’s who will read Rookie. It seems that entire industries are based on answering these very questions. Who is the typical teenage girl? What does she want? (And, a lot of the time, How can we get her allowance?)<br />I don’t have the answers. Rookie is not your guide to Being a Teen. It is not a pamphlet on How to Be a Young Woman. (If it were, it would be published by American Girl and your aunt would’ve given it to you in the fifth grade.) It is, quite simply, a bunch of writing and art we like and believe in. While there’s always danger in generalizing a whole group of people, I do think some experiences are somewhat universal to being a teenager, specifically a female one. Rookie is a place to make the best of the beautiful pain and cringe-worthy awkwardness of being an adolescent girl. When it becomes harder to appreciate these things, we also have good plain fun and visual pleasure. When you’re sick of having to be happy all the time, we have lots of eye-rolling rants, too.<br />Infinite big fat thank-you’s to late-night superhero Anaheed Alani, life- and butt-saver Emily Condon, Cool Dad Ira Glass, fairy godmother Jane Pratt, my dad, our amazing site-building team, and all of our wonderful writers, photographers, illustrators, collagers, and thinkers. All of these rascals agreed to take part in this project before there was the slightest possibility of paying them in grownup cash and not candy and mix CDs. THIS IS AMAZING. Do you know how much human beings like money?? We’ve got a special bunch here! They have dug deep into their hearts and souls and Netflix Instant queues to provide the wonderful content for this site, so please, please respect what they have to say. If something rubs you the wrong way, tell us, but be levelheaded and thoughtful. Internet fighting is not only redundant, it makes other people too shy to share what they want.<br />On that note, do feel free to mosey on over to our </em><a href="http://rookiemag.com/you/"><em>You</em></a><em> page, where you’ll find out where to submit your writing, brag about how great your friend is, ask questions about frizzy hair, and much more I won’t list here in case it overwhelms your brain.<br />We post three times a day: roughly when school ends, when dinner starts and when it’s really late and you should be writing a paper but are Facebook stalking instead. (Oh. It’s just me who does that? Cool.) (Also, LIAR.) Every month of this site will be a differently themed issue, and our theme for September is “</em><a href="http://rookiemag.com/theme/beginnings/"><em>Beginnings</em></a><em>.” Firsts and starts and back-to-school, etc. And, of course, the beginning of Rookie.<br />From here, you write your own handbook.<br />Love,Tavi</em></div><br /><div><em></em></div><br /><div>p.s. even if you aren't a teenager, or even in education, it's still a fun site to read with such a variety of articles which will leave you feeling inspired and kind of fuzzy inside!</div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-78439925404537425162011-09-07T21:34:00.000+01:002011-09-07T22:04:42.194+01:00Peridot<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649718994689504130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 343px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge8aaogKjHaQccKoHo5gBPT3aUAI8jEVJUlPN0I0n0h-zNvSrIguGnSmQ_UVxFTpVFGft_q5ccqC4Sc-7HuKB0-wMmbya3i0KZj4Y5gjNNpKvxzJNjPwNteXTBEzd6G8G9ToF-TwIez9Hq/s400/fashionsquad-chanel-peridot.jpg" border="0" />Only last night I saw this photo on <a href="http://www.fashionsquad.com/">FashionSquad</a> and fell in love.

Definitely my new favourite polish, any time I have when I don't have school or work (nail polish is banned for both- they don't know what they're missing) this will be on my nails. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649722910043250034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt_WHy5YM4RgxBwqcpKgmZH27F-o8x4ak6sg52tyzo2xtRt-xm1XQWV0F4mJw5B1wNrpIcSN3dPYbiqc9TTqM8Ivm89Re9yd0vhRl4FRp8aDgBWZx926c2BsO2t4kKim8fpNLrtucsi-FT/s400/Untitled-1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>Believe it or not this photo is actually photoshopped!!

<br /><div align="left">All summer I've been meaning to go to London in order to take photos of the window displays down Bond Street for my art project, and last wednesday I finally went with my brother. For lunch we bought baguettes and sat in Hyde Park, and I *forced* him to help me take outfit photos! This dress is from a shop in Cambridge which I had never seen before, but it was amazing- similar to Topshop only slightly cheaper and a bit more interesting. The top is sheer but there is an underskirt to keep you relatively decent, which is important when you are walking down Bond Street surrounded by posh people and scary security guards who seem to have sensors for detecting 'commoners'! </div>
<br /><div align="left">I want to create a new header soon but I don't know what feel i'm going for on my blog yet, so who knows when that will happen. I do feel more inspired recently than I have done in a long time though, I have been reading through my reference books and some old Vogue Paris'. I also bought Issue 6 of LOVE magazine off Ebay for almost £15; I had Issue 4 already and though I didn't thoroughly read it when I bought it, both are actually very good. </div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272292993415636119.post-63457146110182933252011-08-31T20:30:00.000+01:002011-08-31T22:01:10.955+01:00Camping in Houses<div align="left">I don't want to ramble on about how amazing my trip to Sweden was (although it <em>was</em> amazing!) so instead I'll just show you these photos. The basic facts are that it was a ten day Rotary sailing camp in Karlshamn, which is on the south coast of Sweden with lots of small islands (archipelago). There were sixteen people there including me, all aged between 16-19, and all from different countries- though there were two girls from Slovenia. These photos were all taking with my Minolta X-300 using film from Poundland.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmsEbr0cdo7SldpgalDjJnGNlD0Ty5oajrrzCzGa01tjw5HpLzGcgRYfFdV9iysZwjy2XT8cRNrAwD9wDtlB34mBhgCQttz0xi3ZY9yO5ov6r903bcunRdxC2QDp-8436TL5b_Aqf_zpER/s1600/scan0001.jpg"><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647109351014652146" style="DISPLAY: block;

It was so great, I may post some pictures soon. I have also bought several new things recently, some of which are in this post and some I will show you another time. In a few days i'm going away again with some friends to the seaside but only for two nights, so there should be a few more posts up within the next couple of weeks.
<br />
<br />
<br /><div align="left">I'm sure the title for this post sounds a bit odd, but it's all I could think of to sum up this outfit! I have wanted this corset since I saw it on <a href="http://blogg.veckorevyn.com/amandabrohman/">Amanda's</a> blog some time ago, but when I had no luck finding it after looking in several H&M stores I gave up. Then a couple of weeks back I was buying jeans and saw this one in my size hanging in the changing rooms. Result! Even better was that it had been reduced from £25 to £3. I paired it with some baggy shorts to tone it down a bit, and also tied a jumper around my shoulders for some extra coverage! I don't know when I would wear this outfit but I really liked wearing it.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIxhBDq-l-fJIqcyKeAUUossQ3wrLXd9HznnoW25yt6IVt5fUlQmwCtGPKoESfKWOCFVbOpWQH-L8gKwUKPF5T_Ni8CSlM83TVTAL0BfToe9G_Je93l2l3FIXXmR910g2C5K_Jmaw7p4q/s1600/IMG_9386.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640364763639066530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 332px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnIxhBDq-l-fJIqcyKeAUUossQ3wrLXd9HznnoW25yt6IVt5fUlQmwCtGPKoESfKWOCFVbOpWQH-L8gKwUKPF5T_Ni8CSlM83TVTAL0BfToe9G_Je93l2l3FIXXmR910g2C5K_Jmaw7p4q/s400/IMG_9386.jpg" border="0" /></a>

<br />
<br /><div align="left">Despite owning three pairs of sunglasses I forgot to take any with me to Sweden, which I deeply regretted since the weather was pretty good! However this did make me want a new pair, in particular some cat eye shaped ones. The ones i'd found before just looked a bit too....weird, but these tortoishell ones ticked every box for me so I had to have them! You can also see my new necklace, a nod to the choker trend for a/w but not so dramatic. It's so simple and easy to wear with anything, I think I will get a lot of use out of it! I also painted my nails this morning but just took it off, possibly will paint them all red later.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQFubMEzzNrSpLvnFX-HP3UvHcuUWzIp_VAp76Onucdwf1IApmvZKwmWlpLdvSZi_JQ33NbTNFypFsfDyN-XrbxL_ZhP3cdixi_fE_0s7vXo5br3s1c_byT5Zy3SmoDz9qqQIik03nuM8r/s1600/IMG_9393.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640363513427548450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQFubMEzzNrSpLvnFX-HP3UvHcuUWzIp_VAp76Onucdwf1IApmvZKwmWlpLdvSZi_JQ33NbTNFypFsfDyN-XrbxL_ZhP3cdixi_fE_0s7vXo5br3s1c_byT5Zy3SmoDz9qqQIik03nuM8r/s400/IMG_9393.jpg" border="0" /></a></div></div>

The very next day I was in Topshop in Nottingham after an open day and found this dress!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630350728333673346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 332px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHWmgBoOHRP8Uck8CYFycxyg8mjndyTkzMBXzaLjt0v-aZuavIN7oxtFC61Wlp-cm-cM_eYkuNtj087sM05qxNJFneptGtCV2Q9a9dlfxzfsdNTaZz9lTnQA7qrT488UAzPNEi723zJOjg/s400/IMG_9223+copy.jpg" border="0" /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em></div><br /><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">dress- Topshop, belt- H&M, scarf- mum's/vintage, tights- unknown</span></em></div><br /><div align="left">Dusky/dull colours tend to suit me better than brights so even though it does look a bit autumnal I will wear this all year round. Also, because it's so simple I can dress it up or down for any occasion. Best of all it was only £32 minus 10% student discount, which for Topshop is pretty cheap! I made this collage with some of the things I would wear with this dress, if I had them (everything from Topshop). The boots are my favourite, but at £75 even with the student discount I won't be buying them any time soon. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630039873019402690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 323px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikA88-uZA0tdBGIrnGVPmgRt2EX4aa7ZXjtCu3whIqflOBvFQVEC8VVlaymyk0Rd5-CCpT6RSmlhrbygQIVRKXsr6tgk34WnDiIAd5KmFctz5VTpNLGw20VoqXOikCDYhx_gmGqBC_Jj-x/s400/Untitled-1.jpg" border="0" />On an unrelated note my mum bought me this bag from the Next sale yesterday morning- I really like the colour! The photo doesn't really do it justice, it looks very orange here but in real life it's more of a 'tomato' colour. It only has a small magnet fastening so I'll probably use it mostly for the beach- it will be good to throw a towel and sunscreeen in on my sailing camp in Sweden.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630038763002617890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbddUHi66KBaYTx1Zy2j2d8tfW3iFfF33hKleRw5OUNCrgxR8HigPrg3swvI-X9om_Er53SJVQEJh_Yfse9ukjnO40ah14m9lgg5HCveUIJBVtmEOYfjQwFRod0aDY7QRFdCgUeWOE1U16/s400/IMG_9237.JPG" border="0" /></div>Gemmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14539324902850964400noreply@blogger.com1
