Ready To Wear


if you like dinosaurs...


if like me, you love Jurassic Park, The Land Before Time, Dinosaurs puppet TV show, you like going to exhibitions and you basically just like dinosaurs, well have i got something to tell you!
Birmingham museum and art gallery have officially opened they're exhibition called T.Rex - The Killer Question, Showing you life size models of the giant reptiles, Fossils and films.


"T. rex – the Killer Question brings together giant moving animatronic dinosaurs, life size skeleton casts and real fossils that show the size and power of the T.rex and ask visitors to join the scientific debate as to whether the legendary dinosaur was really a killer, a scavenger

or even both."


promising to bring excitement and interesting facts on your day out, its £5 for adults and £1.50 but i think it will be worth it, well that's one day planned for the 3 months i have off!

Girlfriend in a coma



God how i wish i was in one of those, i know i should be happy, i mean college is over, the fashion show went great (photo's will be up soon) and i have amazing friends. Not to mention England are playing today so I'm having myself a little get together at my house. But last night i received some bad news, i don't really want to talk about it much, just now i have a lot of time on my hands i thought about what i may write on my new post this week. I thought about what music i listen to the most on ipod and what gets me through the day, may sound very cliche to you but The Smiths are one of favourite bands, ever since my dad used to play his tape of their The Queen Is Dead in the car when i was little, but it seems every one of there songs relates to me at this point in my life. I'm laughing right now as i sound stupid, but it's true. The Smiths are amazing. Morrisey's voice in my ears makes everything better, everything simple. I found some photo's of him and the band, he's so very handsome.
My favourite songs are, How soon is now, please please please let me get what i want, Girlfriend in a coma, They're is a light that never goes out and The boy with the thorn in his side.
i do like this charming man, i mean they play it everywhere in indie clubs, but i just feel like some people only know that one song, and you call yourself a smiths fan, i strongly advise you to listen to the rest of they're music!
So when things go wrong for me i have The Smith's and Sian to help me through SHIT times.

Leather Summer.


So when i eventually have money, i will be buying leather shorts, particularly high waisted ones. I know what your thinking leather shorts?! But believe it or not they're everywhere this summer, I've tried my luck in vintage shops for them, and have found some on eBay vintage rocket shorts, they're ace, but i always forget I'm watching them and miss out!
Asos have some pretty cool ones, they come in grey and black with a laser cut patter at the bottom of the shorts, as far as I'm aware they only have the grey one's on asos.com retailed at £55. But if you don't fancy paying that much for a cow, then try looking at vintage and charity shops, which is probably what I'll be doing, i think these ones below will be a last resort, i really want some to wear when i go Leeds's festival! (which reminds me i need to book my holiday off for that!)

Another shop that is getting with the trends is Zara, they're also donning high waisted leather shorts but in brown, they look exactly like the ones in Chloe's spring/summer 2010 collection!


I think Whitney from the hills, is a perfect example of why you should, buy your own pair of leathers! They go with everything, blouse's, shirts, old band t-shirts, Blazers... i mean i could go on!

World Cup?


Believe it or not it is the world cup! If its not being rammed into your eyeballs by all adverts on the television, people are talking about and by people i mean men!
I have to admit I'm pretty excited, not as excited as some, but content! I've never quite realised thought until now, how commercial it all is, i mean there's England madness, wheelbarrows, hats, cups, shoe's, i could go on! You can't go anywhere now without hearing at least one football song, just the other day i was at the bank and I'm waiting in the Que, i hear a very familiar song, it starts to get a bit louder "3 lions on the shirt!" i look down at my feet and start to get flashbacks of a few nights before, picture it: In a club, at least 20 shirtless (sweaty, may i say drunk?) men chanting football anthems one after the other, banging on the ceiling and swinging tops around. Yes that did happen! I've just found photo evidence from that night but i think i should get permission of the people in it, they may be embarrassed!
But i do like it when i see the support that everyone has for England, its pretty sweet, just up my street people have covered the streets in hanging England flag buntings, its looks like one of those old English jubilee street party's! i think i may take a photo to show you guys!
I also found this photo of 1966 England Captain Bobby Moore with whom i suspect to be his Mrs, but regardless she sure puts these modern day "wags" to shame!!

Well however your celebrating the World Cup this summer, make sure you have fun! I'm not sure what I'll be doing this Saturday, I'm hoping to host a few of my own World Cup party's! So lets hope this weather brightens up! Hope you all have a great weekend, hopefully I'll start getting back on track with the posting! COME ON ENGLAND!!

Also remember girls, do not be offended if guys stop co-operating with you, there's nothing wrong with you, it's just they'd rather watch football than watch you try on clothes!
