Jelly Fish / English Shiterature.

How awesome are these?!!! 
I saw them at the zoo and they were probably the best thing there. They just fascinate me! I took these photos with my digital camera and I think they turned out alright, well how could they not when the subject is sooo aweeesooomee!


I did 'auto colour correction' on photoshop with this one and it had a funky effect...
 

Not fashion related but meh. All in good time.
I bought new stuff the other day which I will post soon.
And I have an outfit post ready. The curtain I have in my room is ripping out my ceiling :| and thats what I use for my photos so I hope I can fix it. 

Also I am kinda busy at the moment since my English Lit teachers have decided the entire world revolves around english literature & that reading 25 million Jane Austen novels is going to get me a better grade and a job. No its not. No employee cares whether or not I can find sibilance in a poem. USELESS. 
I wish I did history, I like and am good at history and its applicable.
Old novels with the acception of anything by Lewis Caroll are boring. Besides I only need to know some quotes and techniques to get a decent grade. I have other more important subjects such as Business and Psychology to work for and UCA Epsom (my 1st choice uni I fell in love with) offered me a place on their Fashion Management course for only 220 points so I have lost motivation to get a decent grade in english, I simply dont need it. I will easily get 220 points. And exams are not for months so I don't understand why when I missed 1 lesson this morning because of the dentist its suddenely the end of the world and I am told missing 1 lesson is crucial and that I will die and go to hell because of it. <<<< HYPERBOLE!!!!! (yah, you dont care? thats my point! and that my freinds was a rhetorical question! look at me im so talented, and now rebelious not using capital letters. ohhhh!)
GRAAHHHH MUTHHH FUDGECAKES!
It's just irritating me to the MAX.

Sorry about the rant, I just had to get it all out of me.
I may explode, so if I suddenly stop posting for a long time, you know whats become of me.

Milan Baby!

Hello everybody :)
Sorry I haven't posted in soooooooooooooooo looooooooooooong!
I have just had some things going on in my personal life so have been unable to post,
but! I am back! and ready to post again like there is no tomorow.

MILAN!
A beautiful little city. A little gruby and grimy but charming with its contrast of historic monuments and its graffiti covered streets.
When I visited we wanted to see lots of the city. We went to the Duomo and went on its roof and if the roof itself doesn't satify you with its beauty the view from the top sure will. I also wanted to go to the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro Design Museum, the cute vintage boutiques, the macarbe San Bernardino Alle Ossa Church, with its walls covered in skulls, but unfortunatey everything is shut in august. It seems strange to me why you would shut your main attractions in a peak tourist season, with even big stores such as M.A.C closed for the month but we had plenty of fun riding the trams and the underground. On the underground they had cool fans which also sprayed water, a relief and a half I can tell you. Now I will never complain about the London Underground being to hot again.
For a fashion capital the people are not very stylish, something I can compare similarly to Paris. I can understand why they don't wear heels much though, as in the slow paced city people walk everywhere. Lets just say OUCH! My feet were in need of a nice hot bath by the end of the day.
Food of course was great. Great pizza. Great ice-cream. Great Italian food done well.

I took some pictures of the classic monuments...



But personally I find these alot more interesting...






What sort of photography do you prefer? The nitty gritty street style or classic beauty?

I also saw the most AMAZING duvet cover in the window of a closed shop....


I NEED! I NEED! I NEED!
Who cares if I don't have a double bed!
