At first I really didn't like these, but the more I see them the more I'm thinking of getting a pair. I especially like the High Leg style at Urban Outfitters, but not for £70!
Imma do some searching, I dont like them THAT much!

High Leg Gladiator Sandals
Gym'll fix it!!
I can't make up my mind if I should join the gym again!
I used to go frequently when I was younger, however, the last time I signed up I went all but twice!
I NEED to incorporate more exercise into my life, weighing myself this morning confirmed that! I did NOT like the numbers staring back up at me!
Plus I don't actually mind going to the gym, well at least when I'm motivated!
What to do, what to do!!!

My Vogue quest is now over!
I've finally tracked down more copies of this months Vogue Italia and my collection is complete. *jumps for joy*
Most of the pictures I had already seen on the internet so they came as no surprise. Onething I did like about the magazine and I'm not sure if this is a feauture Vogue Italia always has but I liked the go-see section.
I havent scanned any pitures just for the fact there are loads already on the internet, however, I may just add my favs!

The Ban stays!

Dwain Chambers has lost his High Court challenge. He will not be representing Great Britain in Beijing for the Olympic Games this year.
I must say I do think the decision is the right one, although, everyone is entitled to second chances, it would have been unfair for him to take part in the Olympics at the expense of another athlete, who truly deserved to be there.
The British Olympic Association has rules and regulations for reasons, and the fact that he challenged the ban in the first place just goes to show his arrogance towards the governing body.
As my mother always says, a cheater never prospers. Dwain let this be a lesson to you!

LL Cool J - BABY
Can you believe that Mista James Todd Smith is 40!?
The Lord only knows how I wish I was his baby!

Should He or Shouldn't He!?
Image courtesy of Sportinglife.com Dwain Chambers will find out the outcome of his High Court challenge against his Olympic ban later today.
He has the necessary qualifying time for the 100m and won the British trials on Saturday in Birmingham but he is seeking an injunction against his lifetime ban which would mean he could compete at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Chambers was given the ban in 2003 by the British Olympic Association after testing positive for the anabolic steroid THG, and even admitted to taking the drug 18 months prior to being caught.
Under the British Olympic Association regulations, this would mean that an athlete (in this case Chambers) forfeits the opportunity to compete at the Olympics once found to be taking performing enhancing drugs. However, Chambers argues that he is being punished for the same offence twice and that the by-law is an unreasonable restraint of trade.
Although he has already served his 2 year ban in which he spent time playing American Football and also rugby, I still personally I think that the ban should hold, after all he openly admitted to taking the drug, and therefore knew the consequences if he were to be found out!
What do you think, should he be given a second chance?
…I’ll be back after this short intermission with the result of the ruling! (“,)

Vogue Italia
I've finally got my hands on a copy of the “all black” July issue of Vogue Italia (Italian Vogue) courtesy of Prince S who went to Rome, Italy last week for a little getaway break! – I was SO jealous this was the least he could do for me!
Unfortunately I haven’t opened them (I say them because I have two copies! – Yey me!!) and nor do I intend to! LOL As I told Prince S when he asked earlier, they are collectables and so shall be treated with the upmost care and respect!
With that said, I was on the phone earlier this afternoon with a lovely sales adviser from Borders on Oxford Street, trying to find out if I could get hold of another, so I could actually see inside, but he informed that although Borders was doing its best to order in more copies, it’s proving virtually impossible!
So I ask with this being July and with July being apparently a low selling month for magazines (info. Courtesy of Brigitte from Make Fetch Happen), has this been a success for Vogue Italia? Since everywhere I seem to go, they are always sold out!
...I'll be back after this short intermission, with more on my quest for all things Vogue! (",)

I'm off on a field trip!
I'm off to The British Museum today. The last time I went I think I was still in primary school....OOoooohhhh I'm SO excited.
The reason I'm going and kinda sorta dragging my favourite Prince S (he hates this nickname, he says I'm trying to be funny and call him princess! Which I am, LOL! But I think it's SO fitting. He's a royal pain in the you know what and also such a drama queen!! LOL) along with me, is because I'm doing the first project from my new favourite book Fashion Design Drawing Course: Principles, Practice and Techniques - The Ultimate Guide for the Aspiring Fashion Artist.
As part of the first project I have to visit a museum and browse until I find an area that inspires me. Make notes and observational sketches covering several interesting subjects. Then select a theme to inspire a small collection of garments that obviously reflects its source, then complete four finished design drawings at home.

Mother Amongst Many Angels
Mama 1924 - 2007Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of my late grandmother’s death.
It came around so quickly, that I still don't think I’ve fully come to terms with it. I can remember the evening we got the news like it was yesterday! – Watching my mum stand in the hallway and then suddenly drop to the floor as her legs give way, is a sight that will live with me forever, and the sound of her crying as you hear a part of her heart rips is something I never want to hear again.
How does one get over such a shock!? They say the pain will ease with time, but it’s been a year and I still feel the same. I loved my grandmum with all my heart and even writing this brings tears to my eyes.
I’ve been thinking for weeks what to write as a tribute, but it almost feels insincere, so I thought it more appropriate to copy what I wrote for the funeral last year as it’s still very much how I feel today.
This is a loving tribute, to a loving grandmother.
No words can truly give justice to express the love that I feel for you nor the loss of your unexpected death. You were truly one in a million, and I want you to know that your love was so remarkable, there is and always will be sunshine around me when I think of you. I am forever thankful to have had you in my life.
Although you are no longer with us in body, your presence and love I shall carry in my heart for eternity.
Much more than a grandmother, you’re an angel heaven sent me. I know I’ll see you again, but for now rest in peace.
The title for this post was the title of my cousin’s tribute for our grandmother and I absolutely loved it as it’s so true.
Mama, I miss you more today, than I did yesterday, but less than I will tomorrow, you will forever be my Mother Amongst Many Angels.
