Life!

This past month has been crazy; do you ever feel like the world around you is moving so fast yet you're still stationary? I've kind of been in that 'coasting' through my life phase for a few weeks now and I have been pretty lazy (hence the lack of blogs and no progression in the rest of my life). I have decided to embrace all the rights and wrongs and actually take charge! No one can change your life but you. right?

This new attitude has enabled me to take the leap that I have been trying to make for the past year and quit my job to look for a new career path. There really is no point in doing a job that you don't want to get up in the morning for - life is too short for that kind of stress! I have also decided to look after myself a bit more; this includes hitting the gym, actually making an effort with my appearance (I think I lived in PJ's and trackies for a month), and actually pursue my hobbies. I don't want to get to a-crazy-old-age and regret not doing more in my life.

So this was a quick little post about what is happening in my life right now. I am currently working at a summer school where I have been working for the past 4 summers - and after that it is time to get jon hunting and hopefully I will stumble onto something that I really enjoy. I have been loving working at the summer school because it doesn't require as much work as my previous job did AND I get to dress up. There is no dress code so I've been getting out the dresses and heels and experimenting with some different styles.

What's going on with you guys?

Style Inspiration

There seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding Cara Delevinge at the moment; I was waiting for the day that the media started a backlash on everybody's favourite model of the moment. Why is it that people feel the need to build someone up, only to tear them straight down? It seems to be a running trend in society; whether is be friends, family, acquittance or celebrities. 

Drug culture is rife in the model world, so why wouldn't a 20 year old decide to experiment? I don't condone drug use but I love, love, love, love, love Cara D and her fashion, and it saddens me that instead of offering help people are ready to tear her a new one.

I feel that the top picture portrays Cara D; it shows her sense of style but also gives us an insight to how human she is - just like us!

Here are a few photos of her that have really inspired me...

A little quirky, a little Mookau!

When was the last time you walked past a shop and stopped dead in your tracks? Was it when you saw a cheaper version of that Topshop dress that you wanted? When you saw the massive SALE sign? 

The constant 'borrowing' of ideas in the High Street has led to the fashion evolving into one big incestuous mess. An example of this is the Topshop 'Geek' t-shirts; I was over the moon when I saw it in Republic for a mere £12 instead of £20 - now, imagine my disappoint when I strolled into Primark feeling rather smug after my 'bargain' purchase to see the same t-shirt for under £10! You might argue that the quality differs, but where is the uniqueness?
