A slight over reaction...

I listen to Russell Brand every week, i find him funny, charming, wild but intelligent. Yes he over stepped the mark but he said sorry and that should be the end of it. I find it so sad that the general public, whose outrage over the incident only developed days after the event, have driven away a great British talent. The tabloids built Russell up as a sexual, provocative figure. We laughed along as he joked about his past and his bedroom antics and now we have tore him down. People should be allowed to make mistakes. If he goes to America and doesn't come back it will be our loss. Who is going to make me laugh now...?

I'm actually...

...falling in love with Chuck Bass...

But so it seems is the rest of the world...

Models...

We had a women's casting today at work and i sat there surrounded by these beautiful, skinny girls who were all angles and limbs, stunning. And as i sat amongst them they were moaning about needing to go to weight watchers but not being allowed in. Now i know models need to be skinny as the camera does add pounds. But it just makes you think that the people you think are perfect all have there own body hang ups too and no body is perfect. Models get airbrushed to pieces but they are human too and today they made me feel better about my self.

The first item on my christmas list...

If there is a more perfect book in the world i have yet to find it...but i bet they don't taste the same.

OMG...

This is like the best tea mug ever plus the copy is perfect too! I'm getting it!

New flat...

So I've moved into my new flat today and its very exciting. It is such a nice room and makes me want all pretty things to decorate it. I think I'm going to paint it only white but freshen it up. And then get excited about what i can buy to make the most of the room...

In a dream world i would get thisBut in the meantime i will settle for filling my UO frames and trying to find this print to go above my fireplace


So many pretty things so little time...

Saturday morning...

Saw the Christmas display in John Lewis yesterday and I'm fine with them putting there displays up in October as i love Christmas but upside Christmas trees is just never going to work.

I'm going to see Rothko at the Tate later with Lucy my new partner in cultural activities. I'm actually more excited to see the paintings than i was to see the new Jewellery at the V&A...I wonder what this means for my jewellery future...

If i was rich...

I'd buy this ... just for the memories.

Spoilt or Privileged..?

Sometimes it takes a moment to make you realise how lucky you are. I hate that sort of statement normally and i do not normally feel like that. Even though i am a very positive person about everybody else, about my own situation i do not always see the positive. The other day my dad did something that just compounded how completely amazing he is and how loved and supported I am and it just overwhelmed me. I do not see myself as a spoilt brat who gets whatever she asks for and cries when she doesn't get her way. I see myself as someone who has gone though a tough time and whose parents have stood by her and have done everything in there power both emotionally and financially to support her. Maybe some people couldn't but my parents can and i do feel guilty but they wouldn't do it if they couldn't or didn't want to. It is hard to take so much from my parents but I am in no position to say no and refuse there help. Without there help i wouldn't be here today and without there continued support i wouldn't be able to carry on trying to get my life back together. When your life stops for over a year, a year of no working no nothing you need to be able to ask for help. and if you cant ask your parents for help when the chips are down then who can you ask. I sat on the tube the other day with tears running down my face as i thought of all the help my parents have given me over the last 2 years when they probably thought they wouldn't need to anymore I'm supposed to be an adult. But life is unpredictable and the fact that I'm still here fighting to live another day is a testament to my parents because without them i would be nothing i might as well still be at the bottom of that lake.

One of my idols...

"Elegance does not consist of having a new dress"

Coco Chanel

I'm becoming more and more obbessed with pearls. There is this new double strand pearl headband at Urban i want. I just want loads of pearls to layer them up a la Coco. Of course the dream is to own a Chanel Bag but until that day i will be content with my pearls.



I dream of having her elegance and drama. The pearls i want most in the world are the giant Lavin pearls that Carrie wears in the SATC movie.


I actually think i'm in the perfect business at the moment as i do love fashion so much and all i did all day today was sort out clothes. Perfect.

Frank Gerhy...Genuis?

So i went to see this finally with Lucy and it was AMAZING! It was such a sunny day and walking through Hyde Park to get to it i felt like i was about to discover something marvellous and true to form Gerhy didn't disappoint. It's unusual for him to build in wood as normally he works in aluminium and you attach his works with smooth lines, polish. steel and curves. So this was a refreshing change. it was nice to be able to sit there with a cup of tea and just take it in, in your own time. I think it would change at night as well under the stars and in the rain it would be almost magical. I'm going to try and go back next time I'm near. Its his first build in the UK and its just made me fall in love with his designs even more. Worth going that extra mile for him don't you agree...?
