Couture and its relavance

I LOVE this video although i think it was aired a while back, I'm a student and i do not own a TV at my flat, only because we can only get channel 1..... great.

watching it though i wish that we still had balls such as these because they are sooooooooooooo beautiful.

If we did though, the chardonnay (and I'm not talking the champagne) society would all be wearing the most ghastly Primark dresses.

I WISH COUTURE WAS STILL AS RELAVANT AS IT ONCE WAS. maybe just less expensive...
why are we so obsessed with fast fashion.

17th of December, time to go forward

Ok so I'm going to blog, Ive decided it needs to be done and now there seems to be much to blog about and also i have more time:

First
I'm back in Harrogate for xmas, no more Bright Lights of London , or flickering dim ones of Rochester for a few weeks. Harrogate likes to refer to itself as some form of drama central some form of gossip girl and its really laughable.
I'm so happy to see my family and close friends and i really hope to get on with uni work which I'm not going to lie I'm falling behind in.

Second
Carine Roitfeld is leaving French Vogue at the end of Jan 2011 reports claim to work on personal projects. the only thing i am wondering is who will be her successor, as we know French Vogue for being visually beautiful so i wonder what effect a new editor will have on the direction of the magazine!


Third
how B E A utiful are Laura and Kate Mulleavy designs for the movie 'Black Swan's entire ballet corps!
That is the film Ive PROMISED myself to see as soon as i can! it looks visually stunning!

Whats on my mind?

today is just another day
and my mind is pretty blank.
i dont know if thats a good thing whether that means im clear minded or just thoughtless.
i am having a serious look through all of my playlists and composing best of Summer 2010, so far its sounding tidy ;)

shoot with the infamous Gemmi Keir last night, i wish she could snap my life in her camera!!

My fave shot:

Memories

so i was at work just tapping on my keyboard and all of a sudden over the radio The Wanted 'All Time Low' came on and all memories of saturday nighn in back door disco mission two came flooding back of me on stage pulling what i thought were some serious shapes, going low when they say all time low that sort of thing, i swear i must have thought i was in the band or something!

this made me think about when ever i hear, or see or smell something and how this can snap back memories so simply. for example i once stayed at a guys who played me my fave F+TM song and now when i hear it i remember that morning, wish i could say that was a good thing. how strange and wonderful the human mind is to do things like that, the only thing is, one good memory usually links to a bad one so in a way its a double edged sword.
just a thought really.

Teenage Dream

OK, i am in love with this song im such a fan of KP but i was looking through the lyrics and came across this:
'We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a floor out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete'

Now darling in the five years i have been names a 'Teen' i have never experience this. Jeeze! my life seems pretty dull.... well not really, just not cute or lovey dovey.

I hope moving down south will not make me a colder person, i really want to grow into a better person but ive realised im too quick to judge and either give myself away too easy or dont do it all, i need to find the balance in balenciaga ;)

30 days! 1 month, if that month only has 30 days until i can leave this little town..
Harrogate claimed as one of the best places to live in the uk and yes i guess in its defence it has been good to me all these years but now i have grown bigger than the pond and i need to be thrown into the sea or at least a river or a larger pond.
On the days which i have work i get excited because i think 'tomorrow i dont have work!' As its just become another drain on my time and energy. call centers and me..... never again! unlesssss ... 'Hello Dior hotline, James speaking how can i help you?'
My Uni Summer project is to become my new hobby... when i get free time to start it... i have like 6 weeks left. gulp!
i need to save my money for amazing little vintage pieces for my wardrobe for uni!

peace
