For a long time now, society has regarded homeless people as the makers of their own destiny. And dirty, criminalised, nasty ones at that. However, recently, I've detected a change in attitude towards the homeless and it's been so exciting and relieving to see that I just had to do my bit and spread the word. I've seen more videos, articles and campaigns challenging the stigma surrounding the homeless in the last few months than I have in the rest of my life, all of them further diminishing my ignorance on the topic and furthering my compassion and drive to help make a change.<br />

The truth is, as much as we all like to think that homeless people are mad-raving drug users and violent alcoholics, the majority are just ordinary people who came under impossible circumstances and unlike you or me, were not lucky enough to have a supporting or understanding group of friends and family members to help them through it. The most common circumstances that put people on the streets are sexual, physical and emotional abuse at home, a lack of acceptance for someones religion or sexual orientation and the loss of an income due to anything ranging from illness to the failings in the economy. Anyone of us could come under these sufferings through no real fault of our own, and yet we are confident we would have someone there to help us out of our situation.<br />
<br />
Whilst recently watching a YouTube video of a homeless man receiving a "make over" from a generous, good-hearted stranger, I heard him describe getting some new clothes, a proper meal, a haircut and two nights in a motel as a "dream". He also spoke of how collecting $8 in over five hours meant the world to him, because he can afford food with $8. This isn't a dirty criminal on the hunt for drugs, in fact this man appeared to me more down to earth, grateful and good natured than many of the well-off people I know. If you don't want to hand over money, where's the harm in buying someone a sandwich? I don't think drug dealers accept sandwiches as payment.<br />

Furthermore, homeless people's life expectancy is almost half of the national average. They often have no prospects or hope for the future. Anyone can become a drug addict, irrespective of wealth or upbringing. People with addictions need help and support to overcome their addictions. It is not your job to end a homeless persons addiction, but it is not a reason to refuse to do anything at all. Unlike celebrities and wealthy addicts, the homeless or those brought up in poverty do not have the means to get professional help or go to rehab.<br />
<br />
The recent #fitchthehomeless campaign also put homelessness on the front-line, with some even accusing it of being damaging to the homeless as the message behind the campaign was "so ambercrombie & Fitch only want attractive, 'cool' people wearing their clothes? Well we're going to give them to the opposite of 'cool' and 'attractive'" which, were personified in the form of the homeless. Whilst I completely understand this criticism, it is hard to honestly say "being homeless is cool and attractive"-if anything that would be a much more damaging attitude-and in my opinion, anything that helps the homeless is a good thing and although it must be analysed and monitored in order to protect society, shouldn't be belittled by controversialists.<br />

This is a slightly sad post due to the fact that last night (when I wore this outfit to my friends BBQ and party-type-shindig) I lost these earrings, which I've only worn once before! Bad times. I'm actually so in love with them that I think I'll have to buy another pair, but at £6 from Asos, there are worse amounts of money to lose. And of course, stuff is just stuff. </div>

The top works for me because it's so versatile. To get something that I should be able to wear in every season, with almost everything else in my wardrobe, that I really like is pretty fab, even more so when it's just £12. I also love the way it's fitted and cropped, but not too revealing. Basically, this means I won't have to shy away from wearing it if my grandparents are visiting! </div>

These shorts are the only pair I own that genuinely fit me now, and definitely the coolest. I discovered them at a vintage fair in Bournemouth for £15-quite impressive for someone with a tendency to walk away from any clothes rack that requires close analysis and a certain element of luck in order to find something that both fits and looks good.</div>

I love the simplicity required in outfit planning in this weather, and the ease and comfort of this outfit in particular, combined with a wonderful night with some of my best friends, makes for a happy me. </div>

Pop culture is (naturally) something that changes over time, sometimes quite drastically, as we have seen in recent decades, but does there come a point when someone says "hang on, that's not okay. That's going to damage society." And of course, who is the person to say that? Does anyone really have the power to regulate an industry based on individualism, performance and sex appeal?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many inspirations for this post, but the person who ignited the spark that made me think 'I want to write about this' is Disney princess gone raunchy pop icon, Miley Cyrus. After watching her latest music video, I was shocked and I don't think I was alone judging by the reaction on social networking sites, namely twitter. Many, many girls of my generation grew up watching this girl as Hannah Montana, a goofy, cute young teenage pop star torn between her small, family orientated life and the wonders of being rich and famous. Rich and famous however, did not tend to consist of fishnet clothing or pelvic thrust based dance moves. At least, back then it didn't. </div>

The images above do not look (to me at least) like images that should be available on music channels and YouTube 24/7 for all eyes to see. I was about seven when I started watching music channels and dreaming of becoming a pop star, the thought of a seven year old seeing this video appals me. When I was young there was some variation, the industry wasn't innocent at all but it was not as sexual and controversial as it is today, and what concerns me is that girls growing up now will only ever see this as pop culture. They will grow up learning that successful, powerful and beautiful women wear few clothes, dress provocatively and pose in ways that satisfy men sexually. And that is not what women, or success, is about. Yet, we are bombarded with images and videos that convince us otherwise. Even the older generations of young females suffer at the power of the media and pop industry. Take the recent thigh-gap trend for example. I never even thought about "thigh-gaps" before this trend, now I will notice more often if a model doesn't have one than if she does.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even pop stars celebrated for their curves have thigh gaps; Beyonce for example. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is constantly commended for her services to female empowerment yet she's been shaking her ass in minimal clothing and using sex to sell her music for over a decade whilst singing "Bow down bitches" and "You say that you want me, so press record, I'll let you film me". She is also idolised as someone who defies trends set by the fashion industry, once claiming in an interview that she likes that she "looks like normal women" as oppose to stick thin models. Now, yes, Beyonce has a booty, and a great one at that, but is her body your average woman's body? Absolutely not. A flat stomach and beautiful curves? A body toned by endless hours of dancing? The expensive beauty regimes she benefits from? These are all fairly unattainable for your average woman. After all, if Beyonce was so "normal", she would be unlikely to have succeeded in the way she has. We now live in a culture where 'curvy' girls are thought of as women with skinny waists and voluptuous boobs and bums. Just as stick thin models convince some that that is how they need to look, curvy women (e.g. Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Kate Upton, Iggy Azalea) are just as influential in making women believe they need to look like that, and their bodies are equally as hard to achieve, if not harder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, these women are not to <i>blame </i>directly, congratulations to them for having such great bodies and sex appeal. And so many of them have done so many wonderful things in raising awareness and money for causes benefiting females and gender equality (the recent Chime For Change concert for example). No one should be disliked for the way they look, and let us not forget the fact that pop stars are shaped to horrendous extents by record labels and powerful behind-the-scenes figures within the industry. None-the-less they do have a choice as to how to present themselves, how to dress, dance, what to sing about etc. Given the position these women are in, and the benefits they receive from being in these positions, I do not believe it unfair to place them with some level of responsibility with regard to their influence over society.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, the other side of the argument (and one that I also agree with) is that women should be able to dress how they want, dance how they want and sing about what they want without it discrediting them. After all, if we say women should cover up more and draw less attention to their female bodies are we not just suggesting that to be taken seriously, women must act more masculine? Or that there is only one way in which a female can be considered attractive? Female empowerment is all about choice, and so taking away a females right to shake her ass and telling her she cannot be respected if she does, is just another form of oppression is it not? Why on earth, should the women who got up on stage at the Chime for Change concert have their work in gender equality discredited because they're openly being sexy? Let us not forget that in some areas of the world, wearing few clothes and dancing freely is a basic part of their culture and one that is respected and enjoyed by people all around the world; the Rio carnival for example. Furthermore, everyone enjoys a good, lively dance to a pop song and the chance to 'do their thing'. It just so happens that in Britain, most people need a few drinks to become relaxed enough to embrace this instinct.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, artists like Rihanna appear to do little to benefit society or women. Posting images of herself smoking weed, making spelling mistakes to look 'cool', dressing distastefully and getting back with a man who completely and utterly, beat her up whilst being regarded as one of the most beautiful and successful women alive today is damaging to society on a huge scale. I still can't quite believe my eyes when I see girls tweeting about how much they love Chris Brown or how 'attractive' he is. Things like that flag pop culture up as a crisis to me. Beyonce, and artists like her have a certain level of class about them, they use their sex appeal to empower women and defend their right to be sexy without feeling threatened, but others such as Rihanna and Iggy Azalea show degrading women to sexual figures as cool, attractive and the only way for a woman to achieve success. This is fundamentally wrong. Of course there is an element of personality. Nicki Minaj for example has never been anything less than provocative and sexual to say the least, some enjoy this about her and some loath this. I believe it is somewhat harmless on such a scale as she is so individual, but now, it is becoming culture rather than personality which decides how women must act and dress in order to be regarded as beautiful and successful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may not like Rihanna, but there's no denying she makes good pop music and I suppose, that's the fundamental problem with pop culture; it's influence cannot be reduced. And I suppose this is why the way pop culture influences society must be monitored and reviewed because despite all other conflicting arguments in this debate, the point still stands that girls are growing up being taught that the most idolised women are those who wear the least and have the least levels of self respect. Women are not all about sex, but modern pop culture certainly makes it seem that way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, hats off to those women who succeed in an industry dominated by sex based on pure talent alone; Paloma Faith, Florence Welch and Emeli Sande to name just a few of the most successful of the artists who do not use sex to sell their music.</div>

After a particularly manic four days, I'm currently indulging in the rainy Sunday gifted to us-and yes, gifted, because there is no mandate to do sweet nothing more official than wind and rain on a Sunday. In today's case, this indulgence comes in the form of no make up, a ponytail that was once high sitting comfortably on my shoulders and a handmade t-shirt made by one of my best friends, which reads: I love cats and Charlotte. Now there's a mental image that should be actualized and printed in Vogue.<br />

This dress is a little piece of heaven, for me at least. Every time I put it on I become a better version of myself. Okay maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but in all sincerity, when wearing something so delightful one can only feel the same. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lace detail and smock fit entwine to create a classy yet flattering, simple yet beautiful and humble yet stand-out garment. With neutral yet exceedingly high heels, the outfit became posh enough for the wedding that could put all rom-coms to shame and yet unambitious enough to not draw any attention from the beautiful bridal party. Whilst this dress can be dressed up or down to any extent, this particular combination was born for the sake of my cousin's wedding which I attended a few weekends ago now. The celebrations lasted a full weekend and were nothing less than perfect (honestly expected Hugh Grant to appear at any moment) and I wish Katherine, Andy and baby Ellie a lifetime of happiness!</div>

Outfit posts are awkward. Fact. Only now am I realising that I appear to like posing with my hands on my hips, which was undeniably more cool four years ago than it is today. Still, outfit posts are about the outfits so ignore my lame-ass posing and check out my uber funky River Island shorts instead. I'm not a particularly big fan of River Island. I stumbled across these fringed, fun and fitting beauties during the new year sales where any and every store must undergo a thorough scrutiny in the name of deals, and a deal they were at just £12! Jumping at the chance to widen my fashion horizons as it were and step out of my comfort zone for such a reasonable price, they soon became one of my favourite pieces of eye candy within my wardrobe. As the tee was a basic blue M&S design found in my mum's never-ending draws of M&S designs (don't worry she's used to my rummaging), this outfit would be extremely economically friendly if it weren't for the Superga's on my feet. Party outfits don't come more practical than this; it's comfy, expressive, fun and easy to dance in. I don't think I could have avoided these shorts when dressing for the <i>first </i>summer house party of the year if I'd tried.</div>

<b>Hello, hello, hello...</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a little over a month since I blogged, and even longer since I posted something substantial due to the fact that my life has revolved around exams and not a lot else for the past couple of months. After a less than confidence ensuring performance by yours truly, I am now beyond ready to forget the misery and madness of exams and get back to being the less stressed version of myself. Naturally <span style="color: #e06666;">(besides sunbathing and indulging in the latest edition of British Vogue)</span> blogging was top of my to-do list. It is <i><span style="color: #e06666;">so</span></i> exciting to write something other than revision notes, essays and exams I can tell you. Remarkably, the British weather seems to be on our side right now <span style="color: #e06666;">(totally did yoga in the sun this morning!)</span> which also means that I can start putting together some new summery outfits and whip out the old tripod again. My wardrobe is by no means up to date at the moment as I am saving for a <i><span style="color: #e06666;">big</span> </i>trip away next year, but I'm still looking forward to being able to get creative again and channel it here. </div>

This morning I have stolen myself away from revision to spend a short amount of time writing about the recent catastrophe in Dhaka, Bangladesh. For others; the people still trapped in the rubble of the collapsed factory, the children who've lost their mothers and fathers, the people with no other option than to continue working in factories like this one, the disaster is much more of a reality.</div>

The problem in the UK is that the public are all too happy to be ignorant about the production of their clothes, but not entirely through all their own fault. It is hard for people to find out what conditions their clothes are made in and which companies are ethically and morally correct, these days even the Internet contains false and unreliable information. However, it is general knowledge that the cheaper the clothes, the more likely they are to have been made in poverty stricken cities by people too poor to complain about the frightening standards they are forced to work in. Primark <span style="color: #e06666;">(who were known to be using this factory in Dhaka)</span> are no stranger to criticism when it comes to the production of their clothes, but after the scandal first blew up in the media a few years ago, the public were lead to believe standards in Primark factories had been raised and that under-age, underpaid workers were not being used. Clearly, the reality is not as Primark want us to think.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is unclear whether <span style="color: #e06666;">Primark</span> and <span style="color: #e06666;">Matalan</span>, two of the shops known to be using the Dhaka factory, knew the building was unsafe as it is unclear what the owners of the factory told their investors when they found out about the cracks in the the buildings framework and were told to evacuate. However, is it not the responsibility of these businesses to regularly asses the factories they use to ensure standards are being met? I know that during my work experience at a London design and supply firm for places such as Next, Topshop and Asos, my supervisor flew out to China for an audit assessment on the factories used there. If Primark and Matalan carried out these duties as they are supposed to, would they not have found the standards in the factory to be lacking? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what about us? The public. Why is it that when bombs go off at the Boston Marathon killing three people <b><span style="color: #e06666;">(R.I.P)</span></b>, we mourn to the point where atheists are hash-tagging 'pray for Boston' but when over 250 people <span style="color: #e06666;">(with more dying every hour)</span> are killed through our own indirect actions, we stay eerily quiet?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a tragedy, a news story, which the public have power and influence over. You can make a conscious decision whether to hand over money to companies that endorse the horrific treatment of the poor in their factories, allowing them to work in conditions that go on to kill them. I expect an overwhelming majority of the UK have bought things from shops such as Primark and Matalan, I know I have-but it's time for the UK public to take a stand. It is only by luck and chance that we were born in a democratic, wealthy country and not into poverty in Asia. We did not earn the right to be in such a wonderful country, but we are here, and we have power that we must exercise.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recession is making things increasingly hard in Britain, especially for those already in less wealthy circumstances. But at what point do we decide it is acceptable to support immoral companies at the expense of people just like ourselves in other areas around the world? Maybe you do need those new shoes, or that cute dress <span style="color: #e06666;">(I know that feeling all too well!)</span> but what about saving for an extra few weeks to buy from ethical companies instead? What about jumping on the charity shop bandwagon? What about simply taking the time to find out if your favourite shops take care of their workers, the people who make everything you wear?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of people take the attitude of <span style="color: #e06666;">"Me not buying this top from Primark won't change anything"</span> and to them I would ask how they thought society had got to the point it is at today? Every large social change starts somewhere. If Primark, Matalan and other companies knew their customers were not okay with these standards, they would be forced to either change for the better or watch their business fail. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We <i>all</i> get it wrong, and it's not easy to spend more on less or boycott our favourite shops with our favourite prices, but I bet it's a hell of a lot easier than learning that your father is trapped between piles of concrete slowly dying because the UK likes cheap clothes. </div>

I'm a terrible blogger. I seem to have no time at all at the moment to spare for this ol' blog, what with exam season three weeks away (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) and general living taking up most of my free time. Stupid life.<br />
Anyway here's an old outfit I haven't uploaded yet. It's been so long since I took the time to put together a really fun outfit that I loved wearing. This outfit is made up of four things from my wardrobe which I completely adore, making it a rarely successful outfit for me. Anyone who knows me even a little will know that black is my favourite colour. This led to an infatuation with the recent monochrome trend, as this outfit seems to demonstrate quite well. My Superga's are my favourite shoes ever ever ever, and so they should be for £70! However I do intend to keep them forever and they're super practical and super comfy-once you get past the brutal blister stage, so more than worth it in my humble opinion.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hopefully the weather will keep getting better now and outfit planning will become a bit easier!<br />
I wish I had more time to spend writing here instead of for school projects and exams but such is life.<br />
Peace & Love & Stuff<br />

<b><br /></b>
Flower accessories are <i>in </i>despite the less than summery weather the UK is experiencing at the moment. A line of daisy clips, a single white rose, a rainbow rose combination. Choose one and inject a sprinkling of spring into your life in a slightly alternate way. Admittedly they may look more fitting with post beach hair and sunnies, but if sitting by the fire watching flecks of snow fly past the window and getting ever so into the latest itv2 two part drama with flowers in your hair is going to make you feel more optimistic, then why not?<br />
With leather and sports luxe and crisp collars and cut-outs being flung at us left, right and centre; the flower garland is a refreshing breeze of innocence and simplicity. Just like the bikini I will have no use for that I buy each year, the flower garland will make its way into my wardrobe without fail, because pretending its summer is all Britain has right now.<br />

<b><u>Ripped jeans skin was showing, hot night wind was blowing, where you think you're going baby?</u></b></div>
<br />
Firstly, let me apologise for the inclusion of Carley Rae Jepson lyrics in this post, I just couldn't resist. Of course it will make more sense (even if it doesn't become any more justifiable) when I tell you that this is an outfit post centred around the upcoming trend of *intense melodramatic drum roll* <b>ripped jeans</b>.<br />
<br />
My go-to Topshop blue jeans have been coming to the end of their life for a while. The once skin-hugging pair now sag and wrinkle like a pair of boyfriend jeans. While I can't bring myself to chuck them out until they're truly beyond salvation, I did decide it was about time I invested in a new pair, which led me to the following Topshop black ripped skinny jeans. Whilst I did contemplate simply slitting a pair of old jeans, I soon realised I'd inevitably end up destroying them and would lose the joyous comfort of brand new Topshop skinny jeans. <br />
The fact that these jeans provide the general comfort and practicality a pair of jeans should, whilst having a slightly quirky edge to them is certainly very pleasing.<br />
I was worried that by opting for black over blue in colour, I'd run the risk of no longer having a pair of jeans that can be thrown on with any combination of garments but they're surprisingly versatile. While my mum was not so impressed with my purchase of <i>another</i> black piece of clothing (the slits causing a slight breakdown) she did admit to liking them once they were on. Success.<br />
<br />
Here's an outfit from this weekend featuring the aforementioned jeans, as well as some of my favourite versions of the trend on the high-street at the moment.<br />
<br />
P.s. my overly colourful nails are a result of complete boredom during the week and I apologise.<br />

<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i>Ah, that time of year again where the universe gives us a mandate to be soppy little shits and show our lovely mumsies just how much we appreciate them. Personally, I love it; gift buying/creating for someone you know well and really care about is a thoroughly enjoyable task. Therefore this post will be my guide to giving your mum an awesome day regardless of budget or soppiness-hopefully there will be something for everyone!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>low budget ideas:</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>family photo collage/album</i></li>
</ul>
<i>If you're on a low budget this Mother's Day, a photo can be a great starting place for a gift. You can choose from lots of different types of frames which are sold everywhere (boots, urban outfitters, notonthehighstreet, John Lewis etc) and from lots of different photo styles to make it more fun. Or, take a bunch of photographs taken over the years and arrange them into a collage on a cork board or piece of cardboard. A cute gift that as the head of the family, your mum will definitely love and treasure for the rest of her life.</i><br />

<li><i>A poem</i></li>
</ul>
<i>So if you're not one for soppiness I'd move on to the next suggestion right now. Although the idea is slightly cheesy, the poem doesn't have to be some hardcore sonnet. To make it really special, it's best to write your own, but selecting one and writing it out yourself is a great gift too. Accompanied by a flower picked from the garden and breakfast in bed and it can't go wrong.</i><br />

<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last night, something pretty damn cool went down. Walk The Moon, a
four member band from Ohio came to the Thekla, in Bristol, to do a gig. I WAS
THERE. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">By the time the
indie pop/rock music moguls graced the eager crowd with their presence
(luminous face paint, check) every fan in the building was more than ready to
sing, dance, throw themselves around and generally express every last bit of
emotion they had to offer. This was of course helped along by lead singer
Nicholas Petricca, as he began a sensual and very physical demonstration of
letting the "bad shit" go, which involved a bit of 'heart' grabbing
(picture him gripping his Pecs with full force!), a bit of swirling of the arms
and a climax; every single person throwing their hands to the ceiling and
wiggling their fingers ferociously. All this, to ensure that the crowd, for at
least one hour, could feel free and happy. Don't get a therapist; Walk The Moon
will do the same job for less money.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As the set
progressed, the atmosphere kept building in intensity and wildness. However
none of this stopped the crowd from entering a trance like state when the band
played their ballad, 'Iscariot'. I am yet to work out the true meaning of this
song, for it is not a typical slow long about romantic affairs. The song speaks
of a 'friend' and 'brother' often, as well as mentioning death, trust, and the
fate we create for ourselves. It was this song which really gave Nick the
chance to shine vocally. The mellow music allowed his voice to echo around the
venue like a religious chant, and his remarkable talent became impossible to
ignore. It's also imperative not to ignore the talent of every other member of
the band, all capable of playing instruments other than their chosen ones, and
all with valuable singing skills which create harmonious and enchanting backing
vocals. Watching Nicholas and Kevin move from vocals, to keyboard, to guitar,
to bass, to drums, to the tambourine was a humbling experience, and one that
would be sure to make you quite envious of the musical talent these boys
possess.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The rest of the
set was a frenzy of head bopping, jumping, clapping and dancing, with bassist
Kevin bringing arguably the most energy to the stage with his undeniably sexual
thrusting, tongue sticking out and leopard print leggings. At one point, the
crowd were offered the microphone and sang an entire verse by themselves,
surprisingly in tune as well. The band's faces lit up in awe at this moment,
and it became apparent how happy they truly were to be with us, on a boat,
sharing their music. If their happiness could not infect you simply from
listening to the album, I'd tell you to watch their YouTube videos, and if you
were still at a loss I'd prescribe attending a Walk The Moon gig immediately. I
do not believe even the most angst-full of teenagers could resist this bands
live energy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Credit must also be given to the two support acts who kept the
crowd entertained for almost two hours; <a href="http://www.therubensmusic.com/home-1" target="_blank">The Rubens</a> and
another band who I honestly have no idea who they were (I think they were
called MD but I can't find a website, YouTube or twitter page for them) but if
I find out I'll let you know because they had hair similar to a tumblr girls',
moustaches that would put Brendan Brady to shame and chest hair that could
rival King Kong. Their edgy rock got the crowd going and injected some well
needed 'cool' into my dull student life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<u><b>LFW: Whistles</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The simple elegance portrayed in every inch of a Whistles design has long been the reason behind my (with lack of physical evidence) love for the brand. I like to think that if I was a 6ft model-type-woman with a sophisticated, high-paying job (a girl can dream), Whistles would be my go-to brand for everyday wear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day I can finally afford to buy my first Whistles delight, the world will know about it, but for now, here's my favourites from this weeks London Fashion Week Whistles show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The army-print trend has never sat too well with me but the camo-inspired dress below merges the trend into an arty, mellow version of the highstreet patterns. The materials and cut of the dress are enough to make the piece original and trendy whilst still retaining that notorious Whistles' air of sophistication, femininity and comfort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDjENpkh-B0hy19yQjBUZTLaljch7ghG73UihSe-3VpKhznTZqHoUtS-7HTD-2hcYXpkFTE6J3a6SSY3yg976pIXUZRNU3JcoDqQe0nHEm5maeba7Mxaz0QNP0YX4eEugvlNRFE6N6EU/s1600/_RED8101_592x888.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDjENpkh-B0hy19yQjBUZTLaljch7ghG73UihSe-3VpKhznTZqHoUtS-7HTD-2hcYXpkFTE6J3a6SSY3yg976pIXUZRNU3JcoDqQe0nHEm5maeba7Mxaz0QNP0YX4eEugvlNRFE6N6EU/s400/_RED8101_592x888.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One look that Whistles channel so relentlessly is straight leg trousers accompanied by silky, loose fitting shirts and forever fluffy, bulging knit pieces. Straight leg trousers are the bane of my life as a short girl, very rarely do I find a pair that fit and don't make me look even mildly ridiculous. Even sadder is the fact that my favourite trousers always tend to feature bold colours, patterns and prints which are commonly known to be unflattering to shorter women. It is for these reasons that I rely on the likes of Olivia Palermo, a style inspiring immaculately dressed woman if I ever saw one, to get my straight leg trouser kicks. Thank you Palermo for channelling my love for the design so well. And thank you Whistles for forever tempting me with your take on the classic design.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While a lot of the charm Whistles hold over the market is down to their continuity in style, they also deserve admiration for their mind-opening experiments and opinion provoking alterations seen with each new collection, this one perhaps even more noticeably so than usual.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The brand have delved into the leather trend with full force for this collection. This combined with the camo prints and that crazy harsh sunset resembling hair one of the models was sporting, are evidence to suggest that Whistles aren't afraid to take risks and embrace controversial trends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's their attitude to womens-wear that really captures myself more than anything. To me, with the help of previous collections, this one says that elegance, class and femininity are all valuable assets to a woman's wardrobe. However, the collection also seems to represent the idea that it is a woman's independence and unconventional wardrobe choices which will set her apart from the crowd. Leather trousers, camo-print dresses, wild hair styles and oriental silk pyjama suits are by no means designs influenced by a desire to impress those with a sexual interest or anyone else the wearer of these clothes might encounter for that matter. This collection is all about the woman and her right to dress for herself, whether she feels comfortable in the traditional thin knits and silks or wants to embrace the boy-ish leather and khaki trends. The low heels, casual hair and make-up styles and practical, versatile bags all add to the theory of the independent femininity of the modern woman. </span></div>

<b>Birthday blogging...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hiya, just though I'd share some birthday snaps with y'all from today as instagramming photos from my finepix is a bit of a palaver! Today Hannah, Anna and I met early in Bath and spent about an hour and a half in Headmasters. I'm telling you, if it didn't feel like my birthday before the head massage, moisturising products and general pampering that Headmasters supply to their customers, it certainly did afterwards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we headed to the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for a big lunch with lots of lovely people. I was seriously digging the funky, retro vibe that GBK possesses (felt quite fitting in my monochrome varsity jacket) and the burgers definitely met the 'gourmet' standards you'd expect from a 'gourmet burger kitchen'. Funny that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if having a delicious homemade carrot cake (thanks meg) brought out and having the gang sing 'happy birthday' worryingly enthusiastically wasn't enough, I also received a range of beautiful and interesting cards and gifts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Totally lame I know, but birthday cards are one of, if not <i>the</i>, best thing about birthdays in my opinion. When done properly they can make you feel really special and put a permanent smile on your face, and my friends did not disappoint today as you'll see below; I laughed A LOT. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course the best part is it's not over, not even close! If my belated gifts are anything like what I've already received, I am yet to become more impressed with how well my friends know me and how much thought they're willing to put in to the gifts themselves, I was seriously overwhelmed and chuffed! Also, DUN DUN DUNNNNNN, Friday night is party night. I'm super excited to set up my cheap, plastic, insert-your-face-here Hawaiian scene and attempt to make my own cocktails and Pimms. I am also thoroughly looking forward to being able to wear something summery (it's a beach themed party by the way, I'm not seasonally confused!) as oppose to throwing on endless layers in an attempt to stay warm, sacrificing any hope of looking half 'cool'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In short, I love my friends to pieces, BIG thank you to everyone who came out today and made my birthday such a charming little affair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roll on Friday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>P.S. </b>Ridiculous amounts of new garments and ootd's to post next week!</div>

<b>Hi folks, hope you're all well and have had fun filled weekends!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in Reading this weekend, which (as always) was lovely. I had a minimally successful shopping trip where I purchased a bus ticket and four M&S doughnuts which I then proceeded to eat before dining out. This was a mistake. One starter (Cafe Rouge's deep fried Camembert OMG!) later and I was full, mostly on doughy, jammy, sugary goodness. However, for the past two weeks I have been justifying every bad decision I've made with the phrase "but it's my birthday soon" so no guilt shall reside here thank you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been building up a little collection of outfit photos from the past couple of weeks when I've felt I was wearing something worthy of blogging about and today I finally have the chance to post one of them. </div>

I love this outfit because it's super comfy yet I didn't feel like I was making an inadequate effort fashion-wise while I was wearing it. It also gave me a chance to wear my favourite lipstick, which always seems to look lighter in photos than in reality but none the less, the contrast between the grey and black tones of the outfit and the rich plum lipstick pleased me.</div>

My hair is naturally straight so usually I work with what I've got by brushing it whilst blow-drying to make sure it doesn't have an odd wave or kink that looks a bit silly, but for this hair style I dried my hair until only a little damp, then tied it up for an hour or so. I added a spray of hair wax and it stayed like this for most of the day, which made for a nice change!</div>

I've got a busy but hugely fun week ahead with my birthday on Wednesday, birthday party on Friday and a friend visiting for the weekend, but I'll try my best to get a weekday post or two in. </div>
