You got a fast car, but is it fast enough so we can fly away

My hair looks ombre here, this may just be the amount of split ends, faded dye, sun damage and failed bleaching attempts. I've redyed it since, I need another perm though! I made this skirt in the summer cause I thought the fabric was awesome. I get so many compliments when I'm in it, but it's so hard to find things to go with it! Maybe it's just me not being inventive enough, I wanna go crazy with my outfits.
School's been looking better! I have more free time and it all feels good :)

Paris

Paris, ahhh. No wonder the word 'chic' is french, because there is no other way to explain the beauty that was Paris' S/S collection! My favourites included Balenciaga (Excellent prints), Mi Miu (Loved the bow's featured on cardigans and coats) Chanel (Because it's Chanel) and Isabel Marant (Only show that managed to break away from the 'ladylike' trend and get away with it, I loved every piece).
^^Isabel Marant has made me need an oversized sports jumper!
The white trend was shown by fairytale designers including Comme des Garcons, Louis Vutton and Yohji Yammamoto. I think next season everyone will be toning it down into the perfect, feminine, 'lolita' esque white dresses. And i needdddd one!
I was dissapointed with Celine, Phoebe Philo showed a lot of boxy shapeless jackets and trousers. Taken apart as seperate pieces they would probably show appeal with something more streamlined, but I just thought they were the kind of clothes you look back on and think 'oh my, what was I thinking!'

Blouse- Forever 21, Skirt- Abercrombie and Fitch, Tights- Debenhams, Loafers- H! by Henry Holland for Debenhams, Necklace- Tiffany & co, Make-up- None, Expression- Stupid.

I wore this outfit sans the tights with aviators and pumps on England's really sunny weekend in like, october. Ahh those were the dayss! I miss summer.
SO, happy new years eve guys! Thought I'd give it a post as I'm so desperately avoiding my revision. My friend got me to take some pictures for his new album yesterday, he's a brilliant rapper. I was so excited that he asked me :) Check him out- His name's Tim Ajayi but he raps under the name 'Menace'. I've also done an amazing amount of shopping this holiday, going to Westfields stratford AND oxford street the day after boxing day. I also went to the National Gallery, sketched there and have seen friends old and new. Pretty good eh.
So 2011 for me? I started it with ambitions of making a lot of new clothes and not buying any. Well, I realised in around June that I hated this idea, as I had no inspiration anymore, and no time to make clothes, but my sewing skills did improve. I made my prom dress, my friends 16th birthday party dress, a dress that got me an a* in textiles, And in summer I made two skirts from scratch plus edited an amazing dress from a charity shop which I'm so glad about cause it's one of my favourite dresses now. And I just made me a new school skirt, which is perfect, if I do say so myself.
My wardrobe has definately grown since summer, where I was fortunate enough to visit Canada AND New york. So amazing, best time of my life, fantastic, actual holiday where I actually didn't wanna come home. I also got a pair of vivienne westwoods. And some more amazing shoes.
How about achievements? I just got 400 followers on my blog! Which was my aim for this year, as I had 200 last year and 100 year before that. I aim to double growth each year, but 800's a bit daunting haha! I've also done features and advertisments for compainies I love, which seems crazy that they know about me and this. Academically? I finally made excellent. I've always been borderline. I got 7a*'s 5 a's and a b at GCSE. And before you think I'm an overachiever I got a D at Add maths ;) I got into the sixth form I wanted and am there and loving every second of it. Even though A levels are tough!
Important life decisions? Moving sixth form, and I decided not to be a vet. Now I'm looking at chemistry, biochemistry, neuroscience with intentions of perhaps doing forensics? A levels, etc.
What else? Dofe silver, best friends in new forest for three days, crazy things happen :p Glee live! First concert with a good friend, knowing every lyric and screaming them to each song, A all girls Valentines Ball :p Extreme! Communtiy outreach and service with girls I became so close to yet never knew, The beach in winter spring summer and fall, Trips to Camden and Westfields where I spent my months wages, Thorpe Park twice, Meals out and more nando's than one can ever imagine, 42 likes on a status (most I've ever had :p) Photography projects landing you in the school team, playing music in bands everywhere, Preaching a sermon (!!!) reading classics, loving life.
SO 2k12? I hope to get good AS levels, get my photog work up on a wall in our school, and on album covers, painting, not killing my new bonsai tree, new designer shoes :p, wear heels more, not eat so much kfc, develop a huge music album collection, go on tour to europe, just have an epic time with epic people.

WHAT you want from 2012 my lovelies?
Kisses- speak to you next year.

So fantastic.

Cardigan- Abercrombie and Fitch, Dress- Boutique in Camden, Penny Loafers- H! by Henry Holland for Debenhams, Tights- Debenhams, Necklace- Tiffany & Co.

You know I don't follow the fashionista rules. On my down days I dress like a normal 17 year old with Hollister Jeans, Hollister Shirts, A&F cardigans, Superdry tops or boring jumpers with either converse or the worst offenders, uggs. Outfits that require minimum effort but still look decentish (Hoodie and tracksuit bottoms can never be worn outside the house!) require a serious breaking of Never-buy-any-a&f-endorsed-product. I love this cardigan though and I think with the dress the look says cute and preppy and not too preppy and boring (hopefully).
Finally Christmas! Yessssssssssss

pictures of my life

This is what I've been doing recently! Work work work, with the thickest chemistry textbook known to man. However, I wanted a bit of release, and with a planned trip to Westfield Stratford next week I thought I'd look at some fashion, so I bought a cheeky Elle.
I've been working a lot on my art recently, and here's some stuff I've done.

My best friend got me this gorgeous set of pictures of the fashion capitals of the world. I love them. They take pride of place above my dressing table.

I've wanted a rotating earring stand from Urban Outfitters for ages, so I decided to ask for one for my birthday. It's amazing, makes picking earrings to wear a breeze.
IMG_6909

My makeup mess on a night out! My friends got me urban decay's naked palette (the original) for my birthday and it's the best thing ever. The colours are so pigmented and amazing and gah I love it. The new soap and glory range is so kitch, and I have the pen eyeliner which works brilliantly. Some more of make up includes Clinique oil free powder, eyelure lashes, dandelion powder & big beautiful eyes by benefit.

Dress- Vintage (Charity Shop), Shoes- Primark and painted grey by me, Tights- Debenhams

This dress is one of the best in my wardrobe. It's a fantastic shape, you can dress it up or down, tights/bare legs, whatever, and it always looks cool. I was wearing it in topshop and the girl behind the counter told me she loved it. It's got a vintage shape but a sort of space-age print, with shimmering stripey pastels.
Luckily for me it looks best with minimal effort hair and make up, so I can  literally get up and go! My favourite kind of dress.

I dyed my hair purple. That's new with me. And I refound my tumblr addiction. :D

LDN S/S 12

AHHHHHHH. I love love lovee next seasons trends. The colours, the prints, the shapes. The cool quirky fun girl marching around London town. High necklines are all the rage atm, so if you're not covered up, you're out. However, doesn't mean if it's high, you're gonna look matronly. Erderm spiced it up with red lips, Acne showed off a pair midriff and a lot of leg, bodycon dresses were shown at David Koma. Think Blair Waldorf and Serena Van der Woodson crusing around in St. Barts.
And who else is DYING for that light camel Giles suit? Something about it reads 1940's war heroine. And I'm all for being a war heroine.
Well, I am snowed under with work as usual, but when am I not? Trying to desperately maintain being 'an asian and not a bsian'. However I am getting C's, and a B for art. Well, hopefully, all will improve? Time will tell my lovelies.
Oh, and I turned seventeen.
Till next time
KISSES
