Great remixes on you tube

Dj ear worm's remixes are really good! especially the 2009 billboard round up and the no more gas remix. Fantastic!

There's something about the alexa bag

The new mulberry Alexa bag, I just have the undeniable urge to buy it, yes it is £695 but in my head I paid £500 for a vintage Chanel bag so paying the extra £195 for a brand new bag seems justifiable.

I’m looking for a satchel or messenger bag at the moment, none of the shops have what the style I want and e-bay has turned up dud after dud of overpriced, not particularly nice bags, so when I initially saw the new mulberry Alexa bag my heart had a little flutter, all I saw was the photo of the gorgeous tan, leather satchel and then felt a stab in my stomach of dread when I saw how much it was.

I’m also a firm believer in cost per wear, my Chanel bag for instance cost me £500, I have used loads of times, at least 50 times, and therefore the cost of the bag is £10 per use!
However, at the moment the good shop angel is whispering in my ear and as of yet I’m going to resist the urge of buying the bag and be a good girl.......... this is helped by the fact it’s sold out everywhere :)

Dating the minefield that plagues your life

Dating….. the minefield that litters your life until you meet ‘the one’, or at least ‘the one’ of the moment. Before, dating and relationship advice used to be confined to sleepovers and wine bar meetings with girl friends, now they have films laying out relationship woes for the world to see.

Romantic comedies of old were about boy meets girl, they fall in love, something happens that separates them, but they end up together in the end. Now, romantic comedies consist of boy meets girl, they hate each other or have to put up with each other, however they end up falling in love (Ugly Truth, What Happens in Vegas and The Proposal). Or they are the romantic comedies that show the pitfalls of relationships or the neuroses of women, films such as He’s Just Not That into You and How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.

The beginning of a relationship is meant to be exciting and about getting to know each other. However, because of our preconception with romantic comedies the paranoia of why he hasn’t called gets in the way of your everyday life. You spend your days watching your phone and only be disappointed when it rings and it’s your friends wanting a catch up, this should not be the case, waiting for a loser could mean you miss your Mr. Right.

Some girls may even feel as if it will never happen, especially when celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston can’t get a date.

In times of relationship advice, the friends you need to talk to are the ones who are going to be honest, not the ones that say if he hasn’t called, he may have lost your number, something may have happened etc. These types of friends aren’t helpful if it’s meant to happen he’ll call and if he doesn’t his loss. You will more likely find someone when you least expect it, I know it’s a cliché but I know many people this has happened to as you are just yourself. It’s nice when he does but if it gets serious great is not it was a life experience and something you can look back on with fond memories.

Dating is a something that will forever plague you, mainly because women will never understand men and men will never understand women!

My first blog

My first every blog and my first ever snow day.

It's so strange that countries around the world have snow and carry on pretty much as normal, however, here it snows and the country becomes chaotic.

Watching The September Issue trying to figure out what items I want to purchase this year, my blazer is already hanging up in my wardrobe, very happy with that. Still in search of the perfect pair of black jeans, who knew how hard it was to get a pair of black jeans, straight cut, not too skinny, and a pair that don't start to fade as soon as you put them in the wash. Other items a satchel, a pair of quilted shoes ala Chanel, and a lady bag of some sort. The Lady Dior is my lust item but I think I am going to have to save for a bit.

So, this is my first blog maybe a bit random but hopefully a sign of things to come :)
