Moss .

I miss the days when Kate Moss looked like an alien. When Johnny Depp loved her, and all was right with the world .

Lindsay Lohan's got a new tattoo ...

.. and it's AWFUL.




It quotes Marilyn Monroe saying ' I restore myself when I'm alone '.
Wow. Inventive. It mirrors her other arm in which she has another Marilyn Monroe quote, something about how everyone deserves the right to twinkle, with the same shitty multi-coloured dots. Shitty shitty shitty. Dude, that's for life.

A Name Post...

...Because my blog has been really lacking them of late. Jeez, I haven't posted a name post for most likely decades. Sue the thought.

Girl names are officially out of the window. Hands down. Out. I can't have any daughters ever, because their birth certificate will most certainly read 'Baby Girl Surname'. Boys however...

I really, truly, honestly doubt that I have ever loved a name more than Sacha. It is just..so.. perfect. Crazily so. [I desperately need to point out that on a girl, Sasha/Sacha is all Bratz doll fugliness, unless we are of course talking about the model Sasha Pivorova, or the First Daughter; Sasha Obama who I'm sure will grow up to be a fine young woman.]

Sacha is love. Sacha, Sacha, Sacha. Like peanut-butter on thick, starch-loaded white toast. Nevaehly.

So Sacha is in right now [like you didn't guess], along with the old-time faves Calum and Tadhg. My love for Rohan has dwindled, but still exists; just in middle name form.

I can't bare even heading towards the girl name forums right now. Lord knows they'll all be talking about every name that has an accent mark, because, you know; that's so 'exotic' and 'legit' . Yeahhh, because every European forum is built up of hardcore accuracy.

So. Sacha - yes :) Anything girly - no.

I think I'll just name my daughter Wankélie and be done with it.

Oh My....

MY PLACE AT BIRMINGHAM UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED !! WOO YEAH.

Can't actually believe it. Must have got my grades :)

I went with..

The Buffalo ring. Hopefully it'll arrive soon :)

Tomorrow is results day. Results day is tomorrow.

PLEASE make everything okay for me anyone who's up there and watching over me. [Grandparents - that means YOU.]

God, if you exist... help?

Santa ?

I'll need all fingers crossed, and your toes too, that I get into Birmingham tomorrow.

Breathe, breathe, breathe.

ETA; Buffalo ring arrived today :) It's too gorgeous to be true. I may even post pics ..

Hmm.

I'm going to need you lot to help me decide.

Stag Skull Necklace?



or



Buffalo Ring?

I want them both. Could I buy them both? At around £20 a piece I really shouldn't buy them both... but there aren't many in stock of either and I neeeed one .

3. I want to either be an actress in LA or a fashion journalist in London. I'm going to attempt them in order. :)

And the Winner is ....

NUMBER 1
Daria Werbowy






Just the best ever ever. Gorgeous, flawless and bringing sexy back long time.
I'd like to inform you that to chose a winner between Daria and Number 2 - Erin Wasson was incredibly difficult, so I had to go with the model I have loved the longest, and Daria won hands down. Maybe next year, Wasson ;)

Birdy scull.

Did anyone else notice that in the Harry Potter films, that the rather evil yet brilliant character, Bellatrix LeStrange was wearing a Pamela Love bird scull necklace?




See? Find these gorgeous necklaces plus many other interesting pieces at http://www.pamelalovenyc.com/

Goldie.

She seems to be getting quite some attention of late, so I'll show my favourite piece of her collection.

This denim jacket. The attention to detail on the back is exquisite. I simply adore it.



Denim Trapeze Jacket by Goldie. £125.

WANT, please.

Clutch by Alexander McQueen, courtesy of blogger, Knight Cat.

Rings included ;)

BOOKED.

Practical driving test booked. Pleased, excited and scared.

Sorry for being such a shiteous blogger of late. I'm not entirely sure what has come over me, but I'm pretty certain it has something to do with the fact that my priorities look something like this;

Learning to drive > work > re-reading Harry Potter.

Maybe, possibly.

So, even fashion hasn't got a look-in this month, because on top of my priorities [see above] I've got this unbelievable, overwhelming fear of August 20th when I receive my A-Level results. It's truly terrifying. I just want to relax, check online to see that Birmingham have confirmed my offer, and then stroll into school to see what grades I've earned. That's all I want.
I've booked the day off work just in case my biggest nightmare becomes reality and I need several hours of begging time to convince Birmingham that I am a million times better than my A-Level results and to let me in.

STRESS.

Right then, I'm aware I haven't posted my Number 1 top model yet. Stay tuned, I'll show her off next post. :)

Thanks for bearing with me.

Hello August.

Well, I PASSED my Theory exam ! Good, good, woo, woo. It was yesterday at the brilliant time of 8.00 AM. Obviously a genius plan. Anyway, I passed and can from now on totally relax. Or so I thought.

RESULTS ARE A MERE 18 DAYS AWAY. I seriously might just cry at the thought.

So I'm trying to distract myself with socialising, work and reading the last HP book again, clearly alongside playing Sims.

Really boring really. :)

Oh, and a sneak peek at our NUMBER 1...
