Why not?

Are you a glass half empty kinda girl or a glass half full?? Do you understand those words and how they apply to your life even??
Well if the answer was A and no.. Then read, (but read if your answer was B and yes aswell!!)
Fashion is about taking risks.
Its about overcoming the impossible.
On Saturday, I went to a postmodernism fashion seminar at the V&A museum which in return made me feel I had to tell you about the subject WHY NOT!!!

When someone asks you "why the hell, did you put that top with that skirt", do you mumble and say I dunno and wish you never made that 'fashion mistake' or do you stand proud and tall and look them straight in the eye and say WHY NOT!!

I am a serious example of wishing I wore something else when in actual fact I SHOULD BE PROUD, LOUD AND PROUD!!
So why not try to answer all questions (that require this answer) with WHY NOT???

Why are you wearing that? WHY NOT!
You could never get that job? WHY NOT ME!!
You could never wear that outfit? WHY NOT!!

All these questions seem to be a form of attack on somebodies clothing or dreams... this in reality is bullying. So if we stand proud and tall and say WHY NOT, WHY NOT STOP BULLYING TODAY!! I am an antibullying representative at my school and am so proud that I can help other kids feel safe at school, and feel they can come talk to me if anyone is bullying them!!
So next time be the glass half full girl and answer A to that question at the start...
Start a day with a smile and WHY NOT ME, WHY NOT TODAY, WHY NOT THIS OUTFIT!! xxx

Why I love the winter months...(and why you should too)

They say there are 2 sides to every story, well heres my side.... (the correct one)!
Winter is coming, its inevitable living in England, there is no way to avoid it! But I secretly love winter
the fact that holidays are coming up means that I get to spend time with my family without the stress of school for 2 weeks!!
Below are a list of my favourtie parts about the winter months... try them, winter may even become your favourtie part of the year:

1. Being able to curl up in my pjs, in my bed at 5pm with a good book because it is so dark outside.

The truth is I try to do this in the summer but then feel bad that the sun is shining and I am sitting at home STILL with the heating on. If are not a great fan of books (shock horror) a film is another idea!

2. Doing the above while watching a christmas movie.
My family have a tradition that once December starts we are allowed to sing christmas songs and watch our christmas movie. But most of the time I start halfway through November!!
My favourite Christmas film would have to be... (hmm... theres a few, and normally you can get them at places like tesco or even some charity stores for as cheap as 3 quid!!)
Miracle on the 34th street- the remake made in 1994 with Richard Attenborourgh,
Love Actually, a feel good film.. (as Brits do these types of movies better than the americans- Valentine's day)
And lots more....

3. Being able to break out the christmas wardrobe.. the scarves, ear muffs, thick 'glamorous' coats...

I will be uploading a post all about winter accessories so watch this space!!!

4. Burning candles
Winter time is the only time when I will burn candles.. the great think about my little rule is that it saves me money and matches!
Winter (the white company) Christmas eve, Sparkling Cinnamon (yankee candles)

5. The berry berry christmas lip...
The dark colours suit almost all skin tones, the dark purples, reds that scream out winter!!

And finally number 6. Being with my family...

When the weather outside is frighting

Its time to round up your family and friends and put the kettle on..

Sing songs by homemade lit fires not the electronic rubbish!!! Enjoy the winter months if you wish it away..... you won't be able to appreciate the good things about it!!

Thank you for reading

Lots of love xx
