JANE BIRKIN


Ok, so this post in particular is going to be about (hash tag.. girl crush) problems that i have over the ledgendary Jane Birkin! I'm guessing most of you if not all of you have heard of Jane Birkin's single with Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime (not obsessed with anything involving French at all, beings as though i'm currently obsessed with being fluent in the language. eeeeek) She was such a fashion icon in her day and i truly believe she deserves that title. I've always been a sucker for a sixties icon! Sixties being my ultimate favourite decade for the likes of Julie Christie and the founding of Biba in Kensington high street in London.
I'll always remember my mum telling me the story of how Hermes named a bag after Jane Birkin. 'The Birkin Bag' came about after Jane was flying to London to Paris with an old straw bag that was in pieces, all of the contents had fallen out all over the place; luckily she was seated next to chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas, therefore creating a bag in her favour. Lucky for some ay... Anyway this post is deadicated to my envious love for her!

ERIN WASSON

Just a quick one about my recent but major obsession with Erin Wasson. She's absolutely purffff, honestly. Like aside from the fact i've only just established her (Alot of you may already know of her) but i've been googling pictures of her for hours; I even had a dream about her last night! I may have rambled on before about the fact that i'm growing my hair out due to an incident that literally fucked up my hair (yes, ok, it was bleach) and because of that i have had enough with dyes and i now want my natural hair back.. It has grown through an inch so far (i'm digging the whole blonde with bad roots look '&wot') and i'm literally so excited for my full head of natural hair back.I'm leaving the blonde to go in to deep dye. I love Erin's natural-looking hair although its apparent that she has an caramel colour on it too but i absolutely love it and its realistic and for keeps. You don't have to keep applying dye's when the roots come through and you only need a cut once in a while! I just need pateince and in all honesty in comparison to how i would have been before i think i've been very accepting of my hair by letting it grow out. I think i just need to bite the bullet when its clear that it just looks like bad roots and not an ombre do! In all honesty, i'm over ombre hair.. its just fine until the condition of my hair is good again enough to dye the ends a caramel colour! They say your 20's are the years you learn from your mistakes! Mistake of learnt? Never ever to dye my hair myself again. #Deals

MOTHER, HERE IS MY BIRTHDAY WISH LIST


My birthday wish list! I'm approaching the grand (old?) age of 22 and thankfully i'm away in Paris visiting my sister Amy with my boyfriend in order to ignore the fact that i'm getting older. Other then that these are the gifts i have asked for! A pair of pale peach underground creepers, a Mulberry Alexa tan brown bag and a Paisley jacket from Topshop! I already own some paisley prints in my wardrobe but i like this jacket in particular at the moment. The creepers are rapturous! i honestly love them! Better then the black ones! i've been a big fan of flatforms for a while now and i honestly think i'd wear the crap out of these bad boys. The Mulberry bag.... OK OK.. so its pricey but its actually in the sale and i more then need it in my life. My mum actually said she'd get it me which was surprising but i'd be more then happy for life if i had this bag in my hands. I do eventually want my first classic chanel bag.. but right now, times are tough arent they? ..and i do love Mulberry and their fantasic bag collection. I've asked for the tan brown bag but i wouldn't mind it in black! I've recently lost two of my ear cuff's also which absolutely sucks. BUT i've found my christmas ring from my mum so 'you win some you lose some' spring to mind. (i'm known for losing my rings -  i went from 12 to 6 rings JUST in 2012)
Anyway, aside from my daunting birthday vastly approaching, i start my first day at Costa Coffee tomorrow. I got this job JUST to run my car, so that my student loan can go on clothes and shoes... blah blah think what you like but my car is an absolute buggar to run! If you are aware of insurance prices then you more than understand what i'm blabing on about. Also, growing my hair out is taking forever! I have an inch of roots and and i'm aiming to completely grow out my hair to its natural colour. (Unif model aspiration much?) I'm also growing my eyebrows out... as in... not plucking? Yes, a very daring idea but i'm kind if digging it, its looks fit, i like it. I'm not going for a 'Lilly Collin's' look in particular because it just wouldn't suit my eye area (which is annoyingly small) but i'm most definitely going to grow them naturally out, but neaten them up a bit. I'm trying to get my hands on an iphone 4s, the cameras awesome and i need one else i'm pretty sure i'll have a break down. Trading in shoe's i don't wear, my blackberry... I'm putting together a plan because iphone4s is definitely a must have for anyone right now and i want to post pictures of myself on the go... shopping.. etc etc.. I can't afford a flashy camera and my boyfriend has the 4s and the camera ACTUALLY has the ability to make me look pretty decent. iPhone 4s, Mulberry Alexa, Paisley jacket and Creepers, i'm coming to get you!
