If not for you

I think it's safe to say I've kind of abandoned my little blog these past few weeks, one of my new years resolutions of course is to make more of an effort with this bad boy. Anyway, just a quick post to say Merry Christmas and Happy 2012! I'm a little sad to say cheerios to 2011, it was a pretty MEGA year. Not to fear though, I'm hoping (if I don't have a dissertation related breakdown) this year will be just as good as last. Oh and I may actually graduate...YIKES!

Anyways, here's a little snap I meant to post a few weeks back of my new George Harrison painting a very talented lady by the name of Lola Nicol hooked me up with. He's an absolute treat. Check her work out over here.

Oh and hopefully I'll get a little Christmas present based post up soon! Way too many goodies to share with you.

ALEXANDRA

Treated myself to these ALEXANDRA studded cut out booties from Topshop the other week. I wish I could say I've never had them off, but in all honesty my feet have been cosied up in biker boots and fluffy socks thanks to this increasingly chilly weather. 

I can't believe it's almost November, where has the time went?! Dare I say it but Christmas time will be here before we know it along with a ridiculous amount of course work hand-in's for me to look forward to. Hopefully Santa see's all my hard work and slips some extra presents my way.

Pierced Knitwear

If your looking for a way to jazz up your knitwear then look no further than your jewellery box. I got the idea after seeing a little 'IRO' number with pierced detail in Urban Outfitters, however the price tag was a  little steep for my student budget so thought I'd do a little DIY job myself. It's no 'IRO' but it'll do for me.

22

Here are a few snaps from my birthday night out in Glasgow at the weekend. It was a mega night, with everyone getting severely drunk and dancing until the lights came up (literally).

I was feeling slightly depressed about turning 22, ridiculous I know, so felt the need to treat myself to some seriously good birthday attire. I went with the American Gold 'The Vodoo You Do' dress and was not disappointed. For yonks I'd been pining over it but never quite had the £180 to fund the little beauty, and thank god I never, seeing as I got it on sale for £90.

Turns out being 22 isn't all that bad after all.

New York I Love You

A few snaps from my trip to New York last week. This was my second visit and absolutely not my last. I think I could go back a thousand times and still not have seen or done half the things the city has to offer.

A few of my highlights have to be my first visit to Alexander Wang's impeccable Soho boutique, and of course becoming the proud owner of the new 'Rafael' bag, perfectly structured with Wang's signature edge in the form of exaggerated zip's. Beautiful. Then, there was my first venture across to Brooklyn. Much calmer than the city but equally as exciting. Oh, and the East Village at night time, drinking vodka berry's in Hi-Fi, listening to Ryan Adams and George Harrison on the greatest juke box known to man! And to top all that off, I met my hero at Fashions Night Out...yep, the outrageously lovely Erin Wasson. I think she may be the only person on this planet to make me speechless!

All in all an utterly unforgettable trip. Thank's New York you little peach! See you soon.
