Dear everyone who reads this,
It feels like a long time since I have sat at this desk about to write a blog post. Exams are a killer and have taken every moment of my life for over a month and all wrapped up officially on Thursday *phew* And jeez the government say exams have been getting easier well I wish that mine had been easy to start with! I did lots of revision so I am keeping my fingers crossed and will let you know on the 25th August how I do.
Anyway that (granted very important but mind-aching) part of my life has closed for another year so now onto one of my true loves, reporting my take on trends to you, the best readers I could ask for.
Summer is well and truely upon us here in London with temperatures hitting 30 today! I'm in the shade and still melting! So my wardrobe has done a summer 360 YAY! I have to admit I have a new addiction - dresses. I currently have 7 day dresses and 3 going out ones in various floral patterns and hues. I also love skirts and am racking up a fair collection of them too. I am however in serious need of new shoes. I have a relatively small shoe collection to be fair - 4 pairs of sandals, 2 pairs of converse, one pair of black pumps and a pair of wedges. If anyone can suggest something new I would seriously love you as currently I cannot find anything right and it's seriously annoying.
So you will be hearing a lot more from me in the weeks come by ♥
Keep in touch via twitter, IFB or comment below - I would love to reach out to more of you.
As always, luv LDN TEENAGE FASHIONISTA xox

The Day a Modern Prince Married His Princess ♥
Hello fellow fashionable people,
Once upon a time a young Kate Middleton bumped into a Prince of Wales in St.Andrews, A decade later they made their vows in one of the most beautiful weddings the world had ever seen. For fashion this event was to shape the bridal trend as much as Diana's gown had all those years ago.
For the other guests there were many hats like satellite dishes, Tara Palmer Tomkinson took royal blue to a new level with rhino horn hat, Samantha Cameron colour blocked in brilliant green Burberry and a clashing orange cardigan, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice showed that Vivienne Westwood and Valentino are fabulous but the hats they chose errm not so much and the Queen herself looking radiant in a yellow Angela Kelly dress.
However, what we were all waiting for was that dress, Duchess of Cambridge's (that's her new title - it's Kate btw) Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress that stole the show. It was beautiful and jaw-droppingly amazing in every way. With a 50's style it was perfect for the vintage fairytale setting of Westminster Abbey. Catherine the Commoner-no-more wrote a love story and today she won a Prince, no, in fact he won her as she truly is a Princess; Intelligent, Beautiful and Loving.

So with a tear in my eye I welcome to the world a new royal and her man,
One day they will rule England and I will be there to write the next chapter in the best loved story in Britain today...
So here's a toast to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - Catherine and Prince William, Kate and Wills,
Lots of love, blessings and well wishes,

Yesterday I climbed several mountains....
Hey guys,
Sorry for being A.W.O.L recently I have been swamped with issues bigger than myself and it has taken until this break in my revision schedule to write this blog but here I am ☺
So yesterday was very important for me, It was the first time I had worn wedges and the first time I had worn heels to anywhere that required a journey on public transport. And it was a success ☺ only 3 stumbles in all, none of them fatal and only one blister which for me is pretty amazing.
In fashion wise I had style. I wore my wedges (see pic) with a vintage dress, grey cardigan and brown shoulder bag - whole outfit was around the £50 mark which is reasonable. Yet I fitted in with the Chanel clutching, Prada shoes wearing women that dominate Canary Wharf fashion. All the women that work there strut amongst the skyline with an air of fabulousness not seen anywhere else, the pride they take in their work is just a visible as the pride with which they wear their clothes. I am honestly proud to know just some of the women that work in that amazing place and will go up their at the flick of a switch just to breathe the air.

Say Goodbye, but don't you cry 'cos true love never dies ♥
Dear all my friends and readers,
On the 2nd March 2011 I lost a true friend, sister and baby. Millie my beautiful Hamster went to the angels and a part of me died with her. I cannot write the sadness I felt in a blog post and grieving is the best way to move on but for me I need to write this.
She used to sit next to me in her cage and watch me as I wrote, she told me in her own way if she agreed with what I was writing. Her favourite artist was Gaga, I used to dance and so would she while Bad Romance blasted at a unbelievable level. She would always wake in the morning to wish me good luck with my day, and when I fed her at night she would come and see me off to sleep. Even in the times when she was too tired to get out of her patch of nesting, a nose twitch was all I needed to feel her love. I hope she felt mine back. Because baby if you are still watching me as I write this I really did love you.
I want you to see my baby in the way I did here are some pictures of her:
From the first day I got her:

Happy 1st Birthday my little blog!!! :')
Hey guys,
Today, exactly a year ago I had a brain-wave to start a little blog about fashion. I never thought I would be able to keep it up and sitting here a year later I feel very proud. I never thought I would get any readers and I now have 28 followers (via both bloglovin' and the blogger subscription) and 13 fashionable people following my twitter. Even though this to many may not seem very impressive - to me it is immensely amazing and a huge confidence boost. When life was rough or I was low, I turned to my blog and the fashion connected with it and it bought me pure happiness. To celebrate this momentous day (as promised on twitter) I said I would write about a day in the life of a fashionista. However, I was at school today so my day was not that interesting so I thought I would take each one of my subjects and write something fashionable related to it, so here we go:
Maths: All outfits are maths really! You get the staple item, add some fab accesories, a good pair of shoes and some sweet extras i.e. a button shirt over a tee. It's a precise equation that all women do every morning (and sometimes evening), 365 days a year. When you make a positive choice it can make all the issues in your day seem insignificant because you feel confident in yourself. Also note there is never a negative choice in fashion. You may not like what the person is wearing but they picked it to express themselves, however shocking that expression may be.
Geography: Well Without the world's geography we would not have New York Fashion Week, London or Paris. No one would be inspired by jetting to the Eiffel Tower or the Statue Of Liberty, there would be no chance of anyone ever being able to find a country as a muse. How boring would fashion be then? Also different countries create fashion and then it is distributed globally. All part of the cycle of the global fashionable economy.
French: Now this one is easy. J'adore la mode! Paris est Parfait! From Dior to Chanel. Coco to Lagerfeld. All the greatest fashion families are based in Paris, it is the heart that beats all around the world. They have changed the way we dress for hundreds of years - and show no sign of slowing.
I.T: This is how I communicate with you through my blog, we follow each other on bloglovin' etc., companies like Vogue used the Iphone App's to post news to all of us, and every web page with images of the clothes we love! Also where would us fashionista's be without Ebay and Online Shopping - I would actually not of got into fashion at all.
Biology: Without biology we would not be male or female so therefore fashion would not exist and we would still be basic single celled organisms with no fashion sense - What an awful life!

Spring Time In London Town!
Hey fashionistas,
According to thoes God's that dictate what clothes we wear and when - It's Spring, although as I found out today,spring can mean anything from sun and blue skies to 6 million mile an hour winds and rain :/ So choosing what to wear is pointless because you still need a black lether bomber jacket and scarf just to keep warm!
Today I wore a Denim Shirt over my fave panda tee-shirt and some blue denim leggings (+ scarf and bomber jacket) - a far cry from the sleeveless vests and shorts fashion rules would tell us it's perfect time to wear!
Hopefully soon I will be able to go out more weather appropriate, but for now it's still too cold.
