Today I love Mawi jewellery [maybe not only today, always!]… but since I cannot afford even the tiniest piece from their collections I can only look and admire!
[Shop Mawi & My Wardrobe]
Any cheaper alternatives to Mawi jewellery? Here are my picks:
- Jeweled Collar [!!!] from Forever 21
- Heart Cluster Necklace & Chunky Chain Pearl Necklace from Topshop

I didn’t get a job. I’m not good enough for Urban Outfitters, or I’m just foreign. Fact.
I’m poor [actually, I'm bankrupt]. Don’t have a job. Don’t have any good perspectives. Great statistics!
Fashion wise I’m getting more and more frustrated as well. I’ve been in Sheffield for over a month now and most of my wardrobe is in Bradford, which generally means I have to wear the same clothes all the time and even though I don’t have a big choice it still takes me about 30mins to decide what to wear and sometimes I have to leave home dressed like a tramp [or a boy] because otherwise I would never go anywhere ["Leave me alone, I've got nothing to wear, I'm not going out!"].
I know that is another Rachel Zoe advert [as if she needed it] here on my blog, but… The Rachel Zoe Project season 2 is even better than season 1! Programs like this one make me believe that I’ll be ok too. I’ll find a job, I’ll stop worrying and one day my dreams will come true and I will work for a fashion magazine or maybe as a stylist assistant [cheesy, but I really do believe].
Watch RZP2! [wordpress doesn't let me resize the video a bit - cannot make it smaller, so that it looks ugly and you can see every pixel, but once you press play it's alright!]

My rule number one says: don’t write when you don’t feel like it [I don't], although my rule number two says: don’t forget about writing [it's been a while...]. Yes, I’m writing again. Anxious. I’ve been wearing the same pair of Levi’s shorts, some oversized long sleeve t-shirts and necklaces + rings for over a week now. Classic.
I’m stuck again. Cannot control my life at all. Cannot be bothered to control and care about the way I look. Outfit for today? Shorts and a black oversized t-shirt + my vintage necklace. Got it from ebay for my last £1.04. Right now my account balance is £0.02. Good times! Oh yes.
Found this photoshoot on 212′a Fashion Scans some time ago and decided I’m in love. It’s so sensual, innocent, beautiful. I wish I was that girl.

Call me trashy, but I love sequins, I love sparkly fabrics, I love stripes, I love bold shoulders I love Balmain f/w 09.10 collection. Yes, I do [even though I would never wear more than half of his designs].
I also love pale pink tights that were introduced by Karl Lagerfeld during Chanel f/w 09.10 fashion show in Paris. Call me classy?
[The Fashion Spot]
So these are a few of my pics for f/w 09.10. Will share some more later.
Shopping list:
- pale pink tights [What am I going to wear them with? I've got nothing]
- sequined jacket/skirt [I will never leave my house dressed like that]

Had my interview with Urban Outfitters yesterday, I think it went quite well. Decided to wear my american apparel skirt, topshop oversized t-shirt, vintage blazer, h&m necklace, h&m rings, topshop flats. Sorry, no photos.

I’ve got a job interview with Urban Outfitters on Wednesday. 10.00am. Leeds. I don’t know what to wear. I cannot wear a white shirt with black trousers. That’s not UO. Don’t know where the line between interview outfit and Urban Outfitters outfit is. Is there any? Here goes the problem!
Will try to put a few outfits together and ask my boyfriend for help? ["just wear this shorts and that t-shirt or no maybe wear those skinny jeans, that t-shirt and a cardigan"] Probably.
Saw “Coco Before Chanel today”. What a nice movie. Wasn’t too excited about it after reading some reviews and people’s opinions, but wow, that was really lovely. And the collection shown at the end – amazing!
My favourite look. Love her stripy top.
Working on her first ‘movie’ collection.
By the way, there are two more photos from Balenciaga F/W 09 .10 campaign with Jennifer Connelly. Available on The Fashion Spot. Superb!

I’ve been browsing Mischa Barton’s thread on the fashion spot for the last 24 hours and I’m sure of one thing: I either love her outfits or hate them and what is interesting some of them which I wasn’t too keen on before, I’m in love with now.
I’m planning to have a little fashion column in our Students Union’s newspaper. Just trying to sort out how I want it to look like. A bit of Street fashion [people around uni] + …? Don’t know yet. While I don’t have a job at least I can focus on that. I’m applying for a job at Urban Outfitters, will send my CV in a few minutes. Working for UO or Topshop is a dream.
My friend ask me to take a few photos of myself so that she can use them in her fashion project. I so don’t like taking photos of myself. My boyfriend wasn’t fond of it too. I like the first photo. He only took 3.
Jumper: boyfriend’s – Howies. Shorts: Levi’s. Necklace: h&m. Rings: h&m. Flats: Topshop. Bag: Radley.
No more photos from me I promise.

Today is a big day. I’m posting a photo of myself! The quality is bad, the photos isn’t too good as well, but at least I’m not going to be a mystery anymore. Oh no!
I’m obsessed with finding a perfect dress. Recently I’ve been looking more like a boy than a girl because of my new haircut and definitely need some new girly pieces in my wardrobe. Apart from the dress I would love to get a new: skirt, blazer, high heels. I need to be a girl. I need to be a girl. I always feel so bad when we go out and every girl is dressed up [apart from me]. They wear short skirts/dresses, big high heels and a tone of make up [being way too orange] and even though I so don’t want to be like them I’m still so jealous. Must find my own way to be a girl.
Cardigan: ARK. T-shirt: Tubelord [http://www.myspace.com/tubelord] p.s. “I am Azzerad” is amazing! Jeans: Topshop. Flats: UO. Ring: Topshop. Socks: Topshop
And now I’m going to play football in Chelsea Park.

Things that make me happy? Right now it’s difficult to find any, but I promised my boyfriend I’ll try to be happy again and will stop being terribly awful as I am now. Will stop crying too. I hate crying. I never cry [apart from the last 2 weeks].
My bad mood influences my fashion too. My empty purse/bank account influences my fashion too. It’s not true that you don’t need to have money to dress well. It’s so not true. And the funny thing is that always rich people tell you that. “Oh, don’t worry, it’s not about the money, you can look amazing just for a few pounds.” Oh, yeah. I cannot disagree more. You can have a good sense of style, you can put together nice outfits, but without buying new things even the most interesting outfit will get boring after a while. You need to swap/change/replace some bits. You need to add new colours/patterns. You cannot do that without money. You cannot get everything second hand.
I need more £3 shoes in my life. Definitely. [Cow, Sheffield]
The jacket looks much better worn by an actual person. Haven’t worn it yet. [Cow, Sheffield]
If I was a rich girl I would have a Chanel bag. Or a Mulberry.

Cow, 156-160 West Street, Sheffield, S1 4ES, UK
Cow in Sheffield is one of the vintage shops that not necessarily got that vintage vibe [looking pretty new, more like a fancy boutique than a shop with previously used clothing], but I love it! It’s so clean and pretty + their stock is enormous! You can find pretty much everything you want for a reasonable price.
It’s definitely worth looking at some Levis shorts [Chung style] for £7-8, that Urban Outfitters sells for £25-£30, sequin jackets, blouses and skirts [£12-35] and shoes [£3-£15]! They’ve got so many shoes! Bought a pair of high heels for £3! [Oh I really wish I was size 8, loads of shoes I cannot have because my feet are too small] + sparkly jacket for £12 which is amazing!
I’m in love with Cow and if I wasn’t poor [oh, no, wait a second I was poor a few days ago, now I literally don't have any money] I would have bought so many things for a few pounds.
