Crushed Velvet Gold Fish

Newest addition to my wardrobe, plus a necklace that I bought about two years ago (on sale for £1!) that I still haven't got round to wearing.

The London Film Festival finishes on Thursday, and I'm flying out to Montpellier on Sunday, which gives me about two days to pack for a month away! It's going to be tight. I don't even have time to go shopping for a new pair of boots (shock horror). Still, now that I've finished sorting out university application stuff, it's good to finally be starting on my gap year antics. Oh I have another question - Siena or Perugia, as a destination for three months in Italy? I can't decide...

I won this award from both Meg's Budget Boutique and Lions and Tigers and Makeup, and I couldn't be more chuffed! I'm so happy (and amazed) that there are people who actually read what I write and value what I have to say. Thanks so much for being so supportive, it really is amazing!

And so to send it on to more people with under 200 followers, I have chosen:

SSFW'12 parte tre - Ciao Italia!

By rights I should already be onto recording my thoughts about Paris Fashion Week - I am incredibly behind with these posts! But I can't just let the wonders of Milan pass me by...
Alberta Ferreti x2, Bottega Veneta, D&G
Dolce and Gabbana x2, Emilio Pucci, Emporio Armani
Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Jil Sander
Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Versus
Trends to point out: flamboyant Mediterranean colours, high necklines, sharp tailoring, sandals, pastel colours (again!), bloomers still being pushed at Dolce and Gabbana, nature referenced in prints and patterns, continued allusions to sportwear, a possible increase in mini-lengths - but maybe just because it's summer?, exploration with textures, very simple hair and makeup. Let the clothes speak for themselves - they are rather fabulous.

I'd like to say a massive big thankyou to Alexa at cashmereandcandy for giving me this award!
I have to share seven random things about myself, so here goes!

1) I lived in Greece when I was younger
2) I have painted one wall in my room pink, the rest are white
3) My great-grandad was an oyster-catcher
4) I am a very quick reader - if I want to, I can read a book in one day
5) I've been to Reading Festival twice and loved it each time
6) I had my first boyfriend in nursery school, he invited me to his pirate party 
7) I had my haircut yesterday morning! I'll put pictures up later

And I've chosen 

fang ting and ashley at ftashion.blogspot.com

to give the award to next!

Thank you everyone for reading my blog, and for commenting and following (and handing out rewards!) It really means a lot to me - and I actually mean that!
