If I could look like anyone, and own there wardrobe it would be her! I adore her clothes, style, everything. She is far to beautiful and whether or not her outfits would work with my [ever so different to hers] shape I would love to own them. Four series in and I still can't get over her, pure perfection!

Blue Monday

 I just heard on the radio that it's blue Monday, fitting really with the ridiculous monsoon I had to get to work in!I finally got there 20 minutes late, the early bus didn't show, and the normal timed bus (which gets me to work on time) was late! Added a passenger started arguing with the bus driver about the fare when we were 15 minutes away, bus driver refused to move until he shut up.. blahblah.. LATE!

Good news is I have a giant redbull sitting next to me, ready to get me through the day.

Recent Cons:

-The internet in my flat doesn't seem to ever want to work! Internet + sky + mac = no go. Intermittent and completely non-existent when necessary. -I'm 23 at the weekend, the age scares me! Not even considered a juvenile adult anymore, lame.

-I don't get paid until Monday 31st Jan and i'm currently broke! Added in my birthday at the weekend and i'm going to have no pennies to do anything, great timing.

-I've run out of clothes to wear to work, working in a fashion company full of glamorous, tall, skinny, perfection (maybe an slight exaggeration, there are some normal folk) with no idea what to wear causes a headache.

-As previously stated everyone (not everyone) at my work dresses impeccably, has perfect hair, and is tall and slim, why am I the one (there's a few but not many more) exception?

-My flat looks so empty without the Christmas tree

Recent Pros:
-Went to see 127 hours at the weekend with my boyfriend and some friends, it was great, better than I expected and we were all really proud of all his work that he put into it (pretty awesome seeing his name in the credits)

-Had a lovely little weekend with my friends and boyfriend

-Flats tidy again: yay!
-Online food shopping is on its way tonight, greatest invention of 2000's I think, thankyou mr tesco man

-I have so many things to sell on ebay- if I ever get round to putting them on, hopefully  I might make at least a tenner! That makes me £10 richer thankyou!

-Americas next top model tonight: cycle 15, has it gone slightly overboard? I adore the amazing photoshoots

-Glee.. I hate it, I love it, I hate it (I hate the singing), I love to hate watching it and it amuses me

I'm going to sit and dream of summer holidays, a nice way to get through the work day

Note: My mood didn't get any better, and all in all not a great day!

Andrej Pejic

Can anyone else get there head around the fact that this is a man? Beautiful, but how is he not a female?

My head can't comprehend ha! And those bloody legs, life's unfair!

Andrej explained when he started to develop his unique image: "At age 13 I became an eccentric, I toyed with looks. I did not care what people will think or say. I began to dye my hair. I decided to act in accordance with my internal, female sex, " stated Andrej.

Calvin Klein

Anyone else find Calvin Klein jean ads rather erotic? Oh Boy!

Pop

When I was younger I always wanted a Polaroid Camera but never got brought one, a few years ago just as the polaroid cameras were being discontinued I snapped one up on ebay, and had a year or two of fun before the film also was discontinued. Absolutely gutting!

At christmas my boyfriend surprised me with a fujifilm instax 210 (its the most incredible and fake looking camera ever). It was a lovely surprise because every time i'd lust after the camera on the internet i'd say to him when I got paid i'd buy one, but every month after paying to get to work, the food shopping and to live in our home I have not much left, so when i opened it I was ecstatic, and out of everything I got, this was and is my most favorite. I've already used the film and need to buy more asap.

I have so many cameras on my list I want to own, many vintage 35mm SLR's are in my 'watched' ebay. I own a Canon DSLR 450D which I love and take anytime I go somewhere that calls for more than a compact camera, and even that one I love, a little sony cybershot 12MP for those nights out, and capture moments.

I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE:

Fujifilm Instax Mini (to carry around in my bag, as the others so big, and to create different photo sizes)

Lomography Action Sampler 35mm Camera (this looks so so fun!)

Lomography Action Sampler 35mm Pop Novelty camera (the same as above but in pop colour form)

I'm also so tempted to root through my families house and see if I can find just a normal 35mm camera (we had hundreds of compacts), just to play around with. Note: need to get dads SLR fixed.

If I had £200, id buy all these cameras, and then about £100 worth of film on top! I doubt i'd manage to get any 'incredible' photos, but I love the messy flawed film photographs. I went through a massive stage of just buying disposable cameras for nights out/birthdays/any camera event and didnt touch my digital for a year! This would work out cheaper in the long run, and be a nice surprise when opening the packet of produced photos. Plenty of reasons to buy :)

A Late Welcome

.. 6 days late, i'm bringing in 2011. Always the latecomer, and always a procrastinator.

As i've previously said new year means pretty little to me, i've never been one for thinking 'this will be my year, better than last' etc. sometimes I wonder if i'd thought like that, maybe being more positive it would have improved my year instead of me letting it spiral, nethertheless i've gotten where I am with just plodding along, with many downs along the way. This was until last year, my first blog post was about new years and how unimportant it had previously been to me, but how positive I felt about the year coming up (see first post Jan 2010) and then it happened.. I had the most prefect year! 2010 was MY year! I don't know anyone that i've spoken to who has had a perfect year, where everything seems to have just gotten better and better, and I can't beleive after everything I had one! :) I said I hoped the year was on the up and that I hoped it would continue, it did, it still is and I hope 2011 trumps it! I hope everyone had a great 2010!

So here's a very fashionably late welcome to the new year! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for me, my boyfriend, our house, my family and friends.

Future List

Getting restless seems to be a major trend with me, i'm always content but there are so many things I want to do and experience. I have someone I want to experience 'everything' with and to see the world with. With an endless amount of money this would be possible, but most of the things I seem to aspire to do aren't costing the end of the earth. I always have to be doing something, seeing something, or being somewhere interesting.. this is a list of things I want to do in both the near and far future.

• Travel the world!!! I've been to france/belgium with school; this year I went to Cuba with my boyfriend, it was our first holiday together, and my first holiday abroad: turquoise sea and white sand AMAZING!! On my list is the Maldives, Venice, Paris (properly this time), Milan, New York, LA, Morocco, Madrid...
•  Create a collection now i've finished uni. I've dabled in bits of creating here and there, but I haven't progressed to pursuing designing and creating my own post graduation, far to much procrastination.
• Feel happy in my own skin and not look to all my flaws and wonder why others look so perfect. Swimming from a young age has given me a substantially larger bottom half than my top,  standing at 5ft 4" tall, with a 32DD/E Chest, a 25" waist and 39" hips i'm extremely pear shaped and out of proportion, with overly large swimmers legs and massive saddlebags. I continually feel hideous when I step on the scales and see it tip to 9st 7. I need to not be like this, for my own sanity and happiness.
• Have a walk in wardrobe one day. I'm sure this will be the only way i'd ever be able to keep my wardrobe tidy and organized (if my boyfriend saw this he'd laugh- it will be impossible!)
• Own a vast collection of beautiful antique jewlerry.
• BE MORE SPONTANEOUS, not that i'm not already, just maybe a little more could create some great memories.
• Get a job i'm happy to wake up for every day, something that feels like i've found my dream of what i'd love to be paid to do.
• Keep a smart phone that works for more than 3 weeks: DONE: Finally traded in my phone which didn't seem to work properly with my network for a blackerry, and *touch wood* have a blackberry that's doing my buiseness so far.
• Own a little house that my boyfriend and I can decorate beautifully, sit back, relax and enjoy knowing its ours.
• Have a dog, once we live in a house this is inevitably going to happen!
• Have a beautiful simple wedding, and a little boy and a girl (if i could choose, plus anymore)

So far this is the list of the future i've come up with, the most important thing to me is that i'm happy with my daily life, if it stays the way it is it can only get better!
