Pri-mani!

I haven't been shopping for exactly a month. A month, girls how did I cope! The last time was when I was last home, so the excitement I experienced when searching for new summer wear was immense!

To be honest though the first trip was disappointing. We love Topshop but I found it has turned florescent and gone back to the 80's, this I am not a fan of. When I think of the summer, I think girly, pretty and flowy, Topshop have other ideas. However H a friend of a friend showed me a beautiful dress that covered all my essentials for the summer and where was it from. Yes that's right Topshop. Perhaps I didn't look to the depths of all corners. How I must try harder

My shopping trip got more exciting on the third trip and would you guess where I brought a stripped shirt dress, a lime green jersey dress and a floral boob tube from... Primark! Yes the cheap slightly tacky retail store produced my favourite pieces of my summer wardrobe. Not only was Primark the best place but the prices off all my pieces were no more then £10 perfect student prices!

Some others brilliant pieces from Primark for summer 09.
What do you think?

There's no place like home!

I am home!Yippee!

I hadn't been back in Stourport for a whole month, considering I cried everyday for the first month of University, a month without home was huge. I never ever thought that you could actually feel like you are home but as soon as I got into Birmingham it felt like home.

My Mum is a God send as she has the week off to spend with me over Easter and so far we have been shopping three times and out for food four times I got back Thursday night and it is now Tuesday. How I love my mummy!

Other pulses is seeing my friends, those friends that know everything about you and you don't have to try or explain what you mean when you say it. If you go to Uni you will know what I mean. If you don't then my advice is to appreciate you friends because making new ones is so much effort it's untrue.

Of course seeing my boyfriend everyday is a massive plus and he would kill me for putting him last!:)

I am going to enjoy my week at home more then I ever have and appreciate every second with the people I love most in the world because I'll soon be sat back in my room at Uni all alone once more. :(

What are you doing to help save the planet?

As energy costs spiral out of control and more carbon emissions shoot into the atmosphere everything we do is a greater importance every year. I have asked the people of Sheffield what they are doing to help save the planet's resources to see ongoing efforts of the city to be environmentally responsible.


Paul Mitchell, 45, Policeman, Treetown Crescent, Rotherham, S60.
"Our house re-washes plastic bags and basically recycles. I have a gas car (it’s 5 times cleaner) and I try not to break whilst driving as well as this we grow our own vegetables and give all our food scraps to our chickens. I hope this helps to save the planet."



Mark Billson, 27, Unemployed, Hill top Close, Rotherham, S60.
“Why would I help the planet, when it has done nothing for me? I have no one to look for in the future when I’m not around so what’s the point. So to answer you question, I do nothing to save the planet.”





Rita Boyce, 75, retired, 190 St. Phillips Rd, Sheffield, S3 7JY.
“We recycle all our papers, plastics; anything you can recycle really. I also have stuff in my loft…no my walls, that’s right my walls are insulated. I don’t use transport just walk about on my little old legs. I have a water meter too…no that saves me money not energy.”


Fiona Koomah, 21, Student, Norfolk Park Avenue, Sheffield, S2.
“At university; I turn off the lights and I don’t drive. Sheffield doesn’t have the recycle system like at home. I have bins to recycle paper, cans and glass at home. I don’t use a lot of hairspray I hope that’s helping to save our wonderful planet."






Malcolm Hobson, 59, Teacher, Wheatley Grove, Sheffield, S13.
“I ride my bike only-no cars and as a result, I guess I look better. I have replaced light bulbs in my house with low energy ones and I compost at home and school. We try to recycle fifty percent of garbage and use boxes instead of plastic at the supermarket."







Christiana Grels, 17, Cashier, Neville Close, S3.
“I’m sick of the rain; all it does is rain in Sheffield. I’m not doing much, I don’t recycle leave that to my Mum and Step dad. I walk because I can’t get a car, stuff the planet if I could get a car though!"

Bohemian Rhapsody!

With summer slowly approaching (hallelujah) the excitement of opening our dusty summer wardrobes is upon us. Of course with the thrill comes the stress of what to wear this season.

My favourite style of the summer is bohemian. It's brilliantly beautiful as well as gorgeously 'girly' both factors I believe are essentials to summer wear. and knee high boots, no, get the 'flowy', fabulous bohemian dresses out girls.

We all know Nicole Richie is the Queen Bee when it comes to the fashion of bohemian.




The classic baggy garments hang perfectly around her body emphasising the hippy feel. The red dress I particularly love has a sexy chic feel by finishing just above the knee with the white detail making the dress aborigine. The dress above the red, is perfect for this summer as the floral was shown on the catwalk which we can all add to our wardrobes.





Mischa Barton and Alexa Chung are other celebrities that hold the messy yet sleek style on their trim bodies. By adding a military jacket the two have made the style more wearable, it is also a must have this summer>(see Must Haves right hand of blog).

Hair is key to the bohemian way, whatever you do the hair can not and must not be perfect. It must be. Soft, gentle and natural is what to aim for, whether that be with loose curls, a loose bun or serum through ‘just washed’ hair, all work when wore with the beauty of bohemian.

To create your bohemian look ASOS is the best place to shop>(follow link in More fashion fixes, right side of blog).
