Christmas! And My Birthday!

Hope every one had a great Christmas! It was my birthday too! Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

So, what did you get?!

Thoughts, plans; this week.

I have quite a wordy post today! There are many things I need to write down just so I remember everything. Please read the post, I'd appreciate it!

1. LFW Press Passes - Can I apply, have you ever applied, and what are your thoughts?

The applications for London Fashion Week are now open again. I'm completely clueless. Honestly, I don't know where to start. Am I entitled to apply for a pass? Should I? Do you think it's right? So many questions! Does my blog count as a publication? Oh please, just help me! I feel like I'm breaking some sort of rules filling the application in.

So what do I do when I've applied? Do I then personally email designers/companies?

If anyone can spare me a minute, I'd be so appreciative. 

2. English Essay on Othello

Okay, I haven't got much to say. To cut a long story short, I've left it very late and now I'm writing this post while I probably should be typing the rest of a lengthy essay. But I'm not. Yet.

3. Tuition fees rise. I will be one of the first to suffer from this.

Another one that I can't quite put into words. There is a lack of communication going on between young people and the government. They're simply not listening. And what annoys me more is that some misguided young people my age seem to think the rise in fees is good, but only because they are too oblivious to other people's problems. My year will be the first to suffer as a result.

4. Music

I'm really liking some of the music coming out at the moment. I like it more when it's underrated. Here's Game Over by Tinchy Stryder. I only like Tinie Tempah/Example's bits. I don't know if I've heard Tinie Tempah rap like that for a while! I hate the fact that lots have these artists have turned to mixing their songs with pop music, but I love it when they come out with real music! I know they're just talking about themselves, but I don't really care.

5. The X Factor 

Every week I find myself shouting at the TV. I'm glad Cher has gone, I can't believe she actually thought she would win. But the X Facor is producing so much manufactured rubbish now, I wouldnt have been surprised if she had won, actually.

I like Rebecca's voice, but she really ruined Corinne Bailey Rae for me. 

 

On the other hand, the positives.

Anyone who watched X Factor this week will know that Rihanna was AMAZING this week! I love What's My Name too. Minus Drake. I hate Drake.

I really didn't used to like Rihanna, but I've rediscovered some of her old music and I see now that she's actually a very good all round artist. She can dance, sing, and she's just so cool! I think she's keeping R&B alive.

Dermot's reaction is hilarious!

6. Will I have a job by the end of this week?

I went for my interview, it went okay, but like an absolute idiot I forgot that Office and Aldo are probably Kurt Geiger's biggest competition. How did I forget that?! She probably thinks I'm completely clueless!

Anyway, that's it for now,

Sheer Luck

I'm sure many of you have already seen this shirt! My store doesn't seem to be selling out quickly, as these are tucked up behind things in the Divided section upstairs so I'm waiting to buy one. I know £7.99 isnt much to pay for a shirt, but every penny adds up! I really want it for my interview, but if I wore it, I'd only want to wear it with the corset type things I've posted. I don't want it to look slutty but I don't want to ruin the great effect of the shirt. Look at me, talking like I have it in my hand. Unfortunately, I dont! And now ASOS have the exact type of vest I've been looking for to wear under this shirt! So I guess I'll have to wait until hypothetically, I have a job.

H&M - £7.99

Asos - £28 

Topshop - £35?! Not gonna happen.

P.S. I'm slowly reaching the 100 follower mark. I don't know if I should join the bandwagon and do a giveaway, but I'll see how I feel.

I'll believe in fate when it comes and finds me.

The title has nothing to do with this post whatsoever!

I really want some shoes, you know? New shoes. Some plain, classic court shoes. I have an interview at Kurt Geiger next week so I'm feeling a bit inspired and I've chosen my favourites from the site at the moment. *
