Tea & Toast....




One of my favourite blogs (of them all, there are lots) is Fashion Toast. The pictures are lovely, she doesn't rant on about silly things that can just get a bit ranty & it makes me happy to look at such a pretty girl every now & then. Fashion toast is a lady called Rumi Neely, she is based in San Diego & seems to design lots of little bits for people here & there, example she did some pieces for Forever 21, newly opened in Dublin & I am still undecided as to whether I like it or not, though lovely underwear for under a fiver, yes please, also check out RCVA her pieces for there are lovely indeed & once I have money again will be ordered.
Oh today was consumed by Christmas cheer - turning on of the lights with caroling, hot cider & mince pies in the Shelbourne, it was very festive all together! I really do like Christmas a lot.
p.s. legs that just keep going - hells to the yeah.

BBCs Live Lounge

I've become addicted to listening to Live Lounge recordings. This is one of my favorites by The Saterdays.



Other ones worth looking up are:
Newton Faulkner singing Foundations ("Why don't you have another glass of wine?!")
The Noisettes singing When You Were Young
and White Lies singing Love Lockdown.


And then there are some absolutley AWFUL tunes too, which you just have to listen to just because they are awful and we all love a bit of horrendousness:
Pixie Lott singing Pokerface (Don't ever try cover Gaga again you barbie!)
McFly singing Dynamite (Ha, they couldn't decide whether to be pop, rock or R'n'B so they managed to a dismal mix of all three genres)
Alicia Keys singing How To Save A Life
and finally Florence and the Machine singing Halo. (I know Sizzy absolutely loves them, but this recording makes my ears feel like they're bleeding.)

Also, Cheryl Cole does a pretty ok job at singing Fireflies by Ocean City. I mean, it's not amazing, but I didn't know she could sing at all so I am pleasantly surprised!!

Is that a Ukulele?



Our boy attended battle of the bands the other evening, apparently ukuleles are cool again, I'm not sure why to be honest, but then I found this (thank you YouTube) & thought it was kinda cute, though she is 16, & it's a bit dowdy for a 16 year old (could she cheer up a bit please) it's still cute & that is exactly what a Ukulele is cute. Desperately hard to spell Ukulele by the way, nearly killed google trying to do it. But fair play to her, Christopher Bailey liked her a lot, & again she is only 16, when I was 16 I was a bit useless, still am to be honest, but there you go.

Absolutley Mad....



I have just started watching Mad Men & adore it, it's fierce slow moving but worth the effort.
I also love the way how Louis Vuitton have started this whole full skirt & heaving bossoms look, pop culture running amok.
I am dislike the rain when I don't wear my wellingtons.
These are the things on my mind.
And I quite like Andrew Bird & Born Ruffians, songs that reference Science make me happy.

If I had this in my wardobe...

I would promise to never wear my ugg boots to college again. I would promise to always get up in time to pick out a nice outfit instead of ending up leaving the house in jeans and something Abercrombie. I promise I would always style my hair and do my make up and look pretty all the time- Just so the coat would look good on me. It's so perfect, and yet so un-Kizzy ish in that, it would require effort to choose clothes to match it.

But it's beautiful- And it's a cape! Wearing this I would feel like an undercover super hero. But a really trandy, feminie super hero!

Well, now you know, if you're thinking of buying me anything for Christmas: This would be quite an appropriate gift for me!! (Sizzy has already shown me the fur coat and heels from BT2s that she wants for Christmas. I'm starting a charity collection for these gifts, if anyone would like to make a donation please contact me. Every little helps.)

Britannica




Today, I accidentally dressed like I was going to a horse show, I sort of loved it though. I think it was a result of my looking at to many pictures of Rosie Huntigton-Whiteley by Rankin. In all these different scenarios as it were, but they're just awesome. She's pretty cool, and has just suddenly appeared on my radar. I really want to look like the top one EVERY day!! God damn.
