Recomended Read.

"When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep, and you're never really awake."  - Fight Club (Movie)
One of the most quoteable films ever, alongside Mean Girls.
"4 for you Glen Coco. YOU GO GLEN COCO!" - Mean Girls

But the point is im really ill with a bad cough which is preventing me from sleeping because I can't breath properly. It feels like what I imagine being at the top of Mount Everest feels like.
But I woke up this morning to check my blackberry and found a lovely comment on here.

http://englishrosedarlingg.blogspot.com commented to tell me she loved my blog and she has done a little post on me which was ever so sweet and cheered me up immensly.
Thank you very much :)
I must say likewise. She posts adorable images, ones I know I would never of found on weheartit by my own accord. Fabulous, really rather sweet.
And shes a fellow Edie obsessive which gains points in books!
So thats my recomended read :)
along with Fight Club the novel. The best book I have ever read. Chuck Palahniuk is pure genious.

'Genious, genious, genious!' 'I dream of genious.' - Factory Girl



I don't normally find Brad Pitt attractive but how hot is this screen shot?

The Iliad.


I just watched The September Issue which my mum bought me on DVD. It is all about the making of the US Vogue September Issue in 2007. The American Vogue looks so much better than UK Vogue. In the UK I prefer Elle and i-D but if we had the US Vogue and US Elle, out of the two, I would choose Vogue. Grace Coddington is pure genious; I adore everything she does.

I thought Anna Wintour's daughter was really pretty so I googled her and this picture came up.

It just makes me laugh how she has taken the Iliad to read at a fashion show. You can tell by her facial expression she doesn't want to be there. If shes going to be so ungrateful I don't mind sharing a freaky friday moment with her, I mean Oscar De La Renta vs Odysseus? No contest!

Not that Classics is bad because it is actually really quiet interesting, especially the Athenians and their really very strange lifestyles, (just search Symposiums, Hetaera and Boys). If you ever have the chance to study it, it is well worth doing, just lets please refrain from taking The Iliad or The Odyssey to any fashion shows, Ok?
