One of the annoying things about boarding school? Not being able to post as frequently, so I'm sorry.
I have started to gather a slight obsession with charity shops. (I think in th US their called thrift shops? Corre
ct me if I'm wrong.) Many people would turn their nose up at such things, and would think that wearing the clothes of someone else is weird and maybe kind of gross. But personally I love them!
There are so many round where I live, and the best thing is, is that they're all completely different and you not likely to have the same clothes as anybody else. They're full of little nik-naks and old clothes that could possibly come back inot fashion.Many of my friends question how I find things in there, and to be honest if you go in there knwing the kind of things your looking for and with an open mind you are likely to find something.
I could honestly spend hours in them trying things on, looking at things that are possible on the wierd and maybe distgustind side and working out if I could do anything to make it nicer.
I honestly reccomend anyone going into one and having a browse because you'll be suprised at what you can find in there. Over the past couple of months I have been very fortunate with my findings, I would go into them but I don't think you'd be that intersted.

Happy autumn! Autumn happens to be my favourite season. I love the colours, the weather, the clothes, everything! I love the dark, but not dull colours, and how they are dark but still bright and colourful. In England, autumn is lovely, the leaves all on the ground give the streets and parks such a beautiful colour. It's also not too cold but definitley hot so it's the time of year where you start bringing out the coats and scarfs in preparation for winter!!
This year I am really loving the colours and the styles. There are lot's of dark wine reds, burnt oranges, plums, dark olive greens, yellows and different shade of browns. They're absolutely beautiful and are found in almost everything. I've been completely sucked in by this colour fest and had bought a wine red dress and jeans, a burnt orange jumper, a cinnamon jumper and my bedding is dark plum! I'm slightly osessed...
Here are a few items in these colours. I hope I get you hooked on Autumn!

Knee highs. Thigh highs. They're a must have for this Autumn and are making their way through our high street shops. You can wear them with almost everything, and look great with dresses. They originally became popular in the 1960's and 1970's with the mini-skirt, then becoming associated with school uniforms and they are now a fashion item. Knee highs offer a versatility with an outfit. For example, if you want to wear a pretty dress but don't want to look too girly, knee highs add that bit of rebelliousness to your outfit. They also make PERFECT festival wear (bit late) as they are great with shorts, and look wicked with wellies!
Topshop offer a massive range of them in various styles, colours and lengths, and I'm sure you can find the perfect ones for you. Here are just a few of they're, but do have a look and be a shade braver! I love them!!

Mila Kunis looked beautiful at the Russian premier of her new film, Friends with Benefits. With her ballet-inspired Elie Saab dress, and with Justin Timberlake as arm candy she was bound to look like a star. Her messy up-do is spiced up with a little hair piece.
These are some of my favorite photoraphs. (Not by me though)
Enjoy,
