rachel zoe will be dying. like, seriously. bananas.

I personally hate it when people constantly have to speak in Rachel Zoe lingo when referring to Rachel Zoe, but in this case, I just couldn't resist..
Well, the inevitable has happened, Taylor has left Rachel Zoe inc.
dum dum DDDDUUUUUUMMMMMM...

I seriously saw it happening, I'm pretty sure anyone who watched any show last season would have.
I personally never really warmed to her after the endless bitchiness to Brad that was season one of The Rachel Zoe Project, and the constant backing out of plans, never going out and being generally lame.
She did have an awesome wardrobe though.
But seriously, if her main concern last year was how she was sick of unpacking boxes, I reeeally don't think she's estimated correctly what her first few months, even years, of being an individual stylist is going to be.

What do you guys think? Are you going to miss Taylor, or are you excited to meet her replacement?

p.s. I would really like to say thankyou to everyone who gave their kind words of advice on my last post. After a lot of thought, I've decided to drop out of this university, and I have an interview at H&M on Monday for a full time job. I definitely think a year out will help with the various money issues I have at the moment and will allow me to think a lot more carefully about what I want. I picked this university because they gave me an unconditional offer, and I automatically accepted because I didn't think I'd get the grades to get into anywhere else. Turns out I did but it was too late :/ My mum wasn't best pleased either, most likely because I've kinda just moved 300 miles for no reason. But oh well, thankyou again, you were all really helpful and I'll definitely be posting more if I need your guys help again!

sugar and spice.

i feel like a bit of an idiot doing this, but i was wondering if you lot, whoever is gonna read this, fancies giving me their opinion. i'm currently doing a fashion media and promotion course which is 3 years long and will get me a bachelors degree at the end of it. i'm not really enjoying myself,and i'm considering just dropping out, getting a full time job, and trying to get into the fashion industry myself (ideally, to be a writer). it's been my dream since i was about 12, so i really don't want to give up on it, it's just university isn't quite what i expected.

so what do you think? do you think i should stick at my degree as i'd have more of a chance of getting a job that way or do it on my own?

apologies for the lack of updates, once again. for the past month i've had a kidney infection, then fever, sickness and migraines, and now i have a bad cold. plus it was my birthday a couple of days ago, the big 19, and my mum came down from preston to brighton to visit for a few days which was lovely :) more updates soon, i promise!

gemma, gemma, where for art thou, gemma..?

student finance being tossers and the fact i had to spend £1300 on the flat for the first month (purely rent and deposit) as well as furnish it have left both myself and the boy skint.
so i had to do, something i have never wished to do in the past. throw out my nearest and dearest.
my old issues of vogue and elle.
and less throw them out, but stick them up on ebay. in doing that, i found my first ever issue of vogue that i'd bought, august 2005.
i fell in love with gemma ward as soon as i saw this editorial, and i do wish she'd sack acting off and return to the modelling world.

love for lanphear,

She's my favourite Kate, and she's been everywhere after attending the Spring/Summer collection shows, so I thought it's finally time to do a post on my love for Lanphear.

well jesus christ, that's a pretty face.

a little glimpse of my outfit today.
nude vest - zara, skirt - topshop, rings - vintage, pearls - vintage & topshop, bracelet - topshop.

it's all false love and affection.

i cannot stop thinking about these babies.
miss selfridge, absolutely gorgeous.
plus, they have 20% student discount now so i can have them for a mere £40, instead of £50.
bargain, eh.

apologies for the lack of updates, i moved from preston to brighton, about 300 miles, and have been staying with the boyfriends parents, until friday when we finally got our own place. i've started my fashion media & promotion course, and i'm currently unpacking and decorating the flat, i'll post pics as soon as i'm done!

i can see you burning with desire for a kiss, psychobabble all upon your lips.

my obsession for acne seems to be growing, especially with these images of their spring/summer collection.
from what i can see, i love the baggy grey trousers and the peach/white dress, which i could definitely see ashley olsen wearing.

what are your opinions, and whose s/s collections do you love?
x

you got a fast car, i got a ticket to anywhere..

i'm moving away with the boy very soon, to somewhere where the winter weather could be much, much worse or much better.
anyway, this is my autumn/winter wishlist..

what are you wishing for this autumn?

90's revival.

oh. sweet. jesus.

wtf is pixie doing? the outfit is one thing, but the hair is another. her shitty, tacky extensions have now turned her hair into a mullet.
i literally have no words. she looks like she's raided the bad sections of oxfam.
and the thing is, she looks like she's trying to do 90's grunge and looking like she doesn't care, yet clearly does because she paid to have those extensions put in?!
awful. just awful.
this is a prime example of celebrities daughters having an interest in fashion, classing themselves as 'alternative' and wearing 'unique' clothes, and people seeing them as this unique being and this 'fashion icon'.
she's not, clearly. she looks like she slept in a dustbin and put on whatever she found in there.
she should never be allowed into a fashion show ever again.

for those of you wishing to pull of 'grunge' successfully, look to the usuals - zoe kravitz, mary kate, etc!

stomp.

LOVE.
i am so in love with these acne boots. i want to buy them when i get loans, but is it okay to spend £335 as soon as loans come through?!
i do get a maintence grant that i don't have to pay back of about 3 grand, but still!
opinions, yes or no?

i also want the sam edelman boots that are currently on nastygal.com, they're only about £210!

might as well have fun, 'cause your happiness is done.

these images make me excited for autumn.
i'm dying for a faux fur coat and several brightly coloured nail varnishes to cheer up the dark, windy days that are to come.
