s** i need

2011-11-19T09:28:00.000-08:00

the thing about me is that i am always looking for something to want. Usually i get it then move on and want something else. I'm not saying that I lose interest in what iv managed to accumulated over the years, but i feel like i need to work towards a goal of having everything . I accept I am horribly superficial and i base all my needs on materialistic things , but I am in fact fun and not a bad person I just really like stuff. My big aims which i have accomplished in my life so far are : chanels flats, alexander wang rocco duffle, ray ban aviators and wayfairers, marc jacobs handbag, stella mccartney cape among others
shit i need now : christian louboutin pigalle pumps in black and nude and this celine handbag

London fashion night out .

2011-10-09T13:40:00.000-07:00

Now , I did get papped at louis v by vogue online but alas no sign of the photo. I went to the night on my own, dressed head to toe in alexander wang because im a SLUT for him and was loving myself as a west london yuppie. my friend sandra was working at joseph on old bond street ( see photo of the two blokes with balloons on their heads in acne on dover street)so i met her . sorry the photos are kinda shit, to be honest i was locked. then i left london and my heart broke x

new year resolution , i am not going have this as a personal blog ( how ya like me now ?? )

a) i dnt like the idea of people who do not know me all up in my business even though it is fun to have a personal one for my friends

b) most people who found my blog via facebook word of mouth ( CELEBRITY) dnt really get the whole 'blog thing' , and seem to talk about it behind my back not in a spiteful way but i makes me uncomfortable . for those reasons i am going to keep it strictly about fashion . not in a boring way tho dnt worry .

seriously stylish christmas . . . mostly thanks to S x x

christopher kane highlighter dress . its REALLY BOLD

so ill prob wear it more along these lines . . .

princess scene

2009-12-01T11:16:00.000-08:00

i have always had a thing for tiaras . I once saw a girl wearing one in tower records in london ( in the olden days) . it was slightly tilted on her head and i thought i was going to die she looked so cool. I know the scene kids like to wear them and i also have a soft spot as does rosa for this way of going about it too . . . .

all in all, i someday would like to casually wear a tiara . but i would probably end up looking more like this . . .

than this . . . .

fin .

points to the point .

2009-11-28T10:37:00.000-08:00

MASSIVE topshop opened in cork today . it is cool love the stuff love a fur coat so i do , and im all for inanimate objects attached to headbands that i can parade around on my head . gas charging 60 euro for something that clearly costs 45 pounds , also i really dnt think it is going to last in cork . girls here are not that stylish they like tan uggs grey ' cardys ' and guess bags . also i think my style is changing getting a bit less groomed , krusty like . . . . i think ill eventually go back to wearing boys clothes .

still waiting for my haair to grow
syked about going to see lily in two weeks
so much to do for college , i have a week to learn absolutley everything about the labour process
can't stop listen to the prodigy

2009-11-26T05:53:00.000-08:00

i have been thinking about giving up wearing colour . this would only leave black white and grey in my wardrobe. I dont really know why I think i just like the idea of being able to wear anything with anything . Perhaps i will try it out for a moth or so . fin

fur is fabulous

2009-10-23T14:45:00.000-07:00

I have something to say .

I was on campus last week and i was handed a flier about trying to ban fur blablabla .Now, this kinda thing really gets up my nose because firstly i dont really care about killing animals ,( I like my steak medium rare and I think fur is fabulous ) and it is very fair to say that most people would leather shoes, wallets , handbags without even considering what happened to the cow in the process .

People who say " oh god I could never wear a real fur coat " are playing this ridiculous naive hypocrite game with themselves . If you eat meat , the animal was slaughtered in some horrific way so you could have that hot chicken roll . Have you ever thought that by wearing fur you are getting a lot more use out of the animal as you can wear it over and over ... ?

I decided to turn back to the person giving out the flier and informed them of my opinion on the matter in hand . ( and asked why they were wearing leather shoes . . . . ahem )

I do appreciate the fact that some rare animals are used for fur which i agree is wrong , and only animals who are not in decline should be bred for fur. If animals are bred for meat why is breeding them for fur so cruel ?

I would encourage people to really think about this topic before they jump on the bandwagon of fur is murder bulls**t and ask themselves are they really making sense . . .

also , I do appreciate the fact that vegans , i.e people who actually dont wear leather , suede or eat any animal products ( fair dues to yis ) are fully entitled to call me a monster . End .

2009-10-12T06:59:00.000-07:00

the great pennys debate. . .

2009-05-01T10:50:00.001-07:00

you Irish girls know what im talking about ...

i saw a beautiful crisp white sun dress in topshop today

( 61 euro ... no joke being a student)

and i thought to myself .... "yes it is beautiful , but more than likely, knowing my luck they will have copies of them in pennys next week and everyone will have them "

as this has happened me on a number of occasions when i fork out for items from the higher end of the highstreet shops , then they have them in pennys two weeks later,

( i paid 50 euro for those black suede pumps with the gold buckles which you more than likely have...... ) Im still hurting over that one .

this is outstanding .

ray-bans .

2009-03-15T14:11:00.000-07:00

i ADORE ray-bans . love them . i have 4 pairs that iv stolen and or inherited .They suit everyone and most idiots wont wear them which is a plus for us in the know.

now . i was rustling through a drawer in my kitchen last week and i shrieked with delight when i came across a pair of vintage wayfares . there were my moms in the 70s . i was kinda gutted because i thought the ray ban sign on the lens has scratched off but much to my delight i discovered the proper vintage ones didnt have ray-ban written on them .

i also stole a pair from my boyfriend they are plain black with an invisible rim .

i have two pairs that were my dads in the 70s and 80 s one classic pair of the aviators and one pair of aviators with a slightly thicker gold rim and with a leather bridge . i love them all the same . the end

2009-03-06T13:23:00.000-08:00

I think my time spent with British Vogue has come to an end . Like a relationship it has ended on bad terms . Frankly it just doesnt interest me anymore . I also know that i am not the only person of this opinion . So until you sort yourself out , I bid you farewell . You have taught me a great deal and for that i am greatful but its time to move on . yours , Gracie x x
