THE Most Embarrassing Thing Happened Todayy

Today I went shopping with my friend Allie, and we went into H&M to try on some clothes. We picked up about 15 - 20 items of clothing and went to try them on in the changing rooms.
Earlier that day I had bought a Diet Coke and some Mentos (you can see where this is going), and I took them into the changing rooms with me while me and Allie tried on clothes.
To take a break from trying on clothes, I decided to drink some coke, and then I decided to dip the mento in the coke and see what happened.
Not a good idea.
I accidentally dropped the mento into the coke bottle, and the coke suddenly spurted everywhere. All over me and Allie, all over the floor, on the walls and on the clothes we were trying on, EVERYWHERE. Literally.
A member of staff came running in, having heard the spilling.
Iwascompletely mortified, and just ran straight past the member of staff and out of the shop, forgetting to put my clothes back on.
Cringe.

Something I have learned today:

Never put mentos in coke. Not even raspberry mentos. And especially not when you're in a shop.
And if you ever spill coke in the changing rooms, make sure you put your clothes back on before you run away screaming.
Cringe!

Feet & Shoes

Im not at school today. And guess why? Cuz I have seven blisters on my right foot.
I can't actually walk.
So, in my ultimate boredom, I have decided to hobble over to my laptop and blog. About blisters.
Most of you will have experienced blisters - they are pretty common, expecially when yu're wearing new shoes.

So this is what to do when you have them, or if you have that sort of rubbing feeling when you're about to get one.

1. Wash your feet in a tub of water.
2. Basically pile on all the creams you have: moisturizers, anti-ageing creams, anti-septics, soap, shampoo, bubble bath, e.t.c. Rub them all into your feet.
3. Put some TCP or something like that onto a piece of cotton wool and rub all the blistering areas.
4. Then put on plasters.

There you go. That's my method for treating blisters. It seriously works, but if you think it sounds a bit weird you're probably right.

The First Day Of Spring !! Finally.

First of all, I'd like to say sorry for not blogging in aaaagges. I've been so busy - exams !! I know I said I'd put some of my designs online, but I haven't had time to yet. :(

So, anywayz. Yesterday was the Spring Equinox, wwhich means it's officially SPRING !! So I am making a list of my top 10 Spring trends. Warning: this post might be a bit long !!

1. Blazers!
The boyfriend kind - long and loose, with rolled up sleeves. Soo sexy - can be worn day or night.
2. Polka Dots!
Cute and classy! Bring out your inner 2-year-old ;)


3. Fringing
And by fringing, I mean fringed boots! They were hot last season, they're even hotter this season! Like these or these, but definitely not like this.
P.S. Keep an eye out for fringed bags too!

4. Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are so elegant and feminine, but not many people dare to wear them.
Just look at this pic (£29.50 from Vera Moda @Asos), as worn by Audrina Patridge!
It's prefect for a date or a night out, just wear it with some strappy heels, bangles and huge sunglasses, and there you have - THE look of the season!
And if you want a more casual look, this playsuit is quite cute.
5. Nautical

This trend comes back every single Spring! But I still love it, it's so adorable. Right now I'm loving this (£18, Urban Outfitters) . . .
And this top is just gorgeous and perfect for the summer.
How do you like the Sailor trend? Too overused, or still as cute as it always was?

6. Short-shorts

Okay, so this isnt exactly a NEW trend, but I love them. Lots of people say they're slutty, but I beg to differ! My favourites in the shops right now are these New Look ones, £5:
And everybody needs a pair of denim shorts, so how about these as well:

7. 50's

Love it, Love it, Love it. Glam up with some Old Hollywood shizzle, a la Leighton Meester and Scarlett Johannson!


8. Lace

How about some lace leggings? A lace top?
Wear these cute lace leggings with a denim skirt for some casual allure ;)

9. Florals

Me luvz this trend. It's been hanging on for years, but I still love it.
Floral tea dresses are sooooooooo cute (with double knobs on!)
So are floral skirts!



10. Neon

Nuff said.


So how do you like my fave trends? Which is your favourite?

And The Best Dressed At the Oscars Was...

Because everyone else is doing it, here are my favourite dresses from the Oscars last Sunday. Please comment!!

Okay, so first we have Miley Cyrus in this gorgeous dress - it's a bit too old for her, but she looks so beautiful in it!!

Next we have Freida Pinto (is that how you spell it?) from Slumdog Millionaire, looking amazing in this royal blue gown by John Galliano.

And finally, it's Vanessa Hudgens! Vanessa always looks tiptop - she's got great style, and she looks lovely in this Marchesa black fitted gown with floral embellishments.

So, there you have it. My top 3 celebs from the Oscars 2009!!
Who do YOU think wore the best dresses last Sunday?

Get Whitney's Knit Headband !!

Who else just LOVES Whitney Port's cute knit headband in this pic?

I think it's so adorable!! Luckily, you can get the exact same one here at Urban Outfitters for just £16, in 4 different colours! Unfortunately for my American readers, it's only available in the UK (I think) :( .
However, I have found a really good site where you can learn how to knit one yourself!

Aren't those shoes so Gorgeous with a capital G ? I especially love the second pair, 'Flasher' - so pretty, and a bargain at only $35 (unfortunately I'm in Britain so I can't buy them! ). Which pair is your favourite?
