Down South

I have started to notice how (although this is a fashion blog) I actually never give away anything about myself. Which I now realise some people may find weird, me ranting on about my opinions with fashion and my dislikes for Cheryl Cole and the Gallaghers (yes still!) Well I am actually quite a boring person. I constantly hope to be one of these amazing fashionistas that come up on This Morning or other tv shows that have become famous for their amazing blogs or style! I have just seen one woman who everyday takes a picture of herself and what she is wearing and posts it on the internet, she is now a style icon.

I started my blog when I started studying International Fashion Marketing at MMU, however my blog is the only thing that has actually kept going since then. I left Manchester after 6 months because....well I hated it. I was quickly becoming known as "The blonde girl that cries all the time" and to be honest I was even getting on my own nerves. The only good thing about Manchester was the people I met. All be it only a few, I have made 2 amazing friends from Cardiff (who happen to be best friends with each other) who I have managed to keep in contact with (THANK GOD) However I think we were bonded by the fact that we all took a while to settle in to life in Manchester, proven by the fact that there is only one of us actually staying in Manchester.

Now however I am moving to Cardiff with my best friend and beginning a new course, Fashion Promotion. I have already found out that I am going to New York fashion week in February which has made me fall in love with the course already!

Style wise I never consider myself to be "stylish" I LOVE clothes, and I mean that. Clothes and fashion is all I have ever been interested in since I remember. However as in a previous post of mine I personally do not believe that crazy style is the best.

I prefer buying my clothes from Topshop and looking more classy and "normal" if you like. I do not want people to stare at me in the street because I would rather be taken seriously with my opinions of others in the fashion world. My dream is one day to be writer of a fashion columnist in a Fashion magazine.

I have had what can only be described as a difficult 2 years, with a combination of splitting from a long term boyfriend, leaving uni, family loss, illness and a lot of other things that im sure everybody goes through. But this time around I have people that I need to make proud so im focused 100% on making sure that university in Cardiff and living with my best friend will give me the kick start I need into finding a dream job .

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
