Language

I feel that languages are one of the most amazing things in this world. I am currently learning French and Chinese (very different), and it's hard. I don't have a natural flare in languages but I feel like I have the passion. My many visits to Paris have convinced me that learning French would be very useful to me and my family. With my father fluent in Russian and my brother almost fluent in Japanese, I think there might be something wrong with me. But the thing is that I still love languages, no matter how terrible I might be at them. 

I'm currently trying to read Great Expectations. To experience proper English. Oh I might not have mentioned the fact that I hate reading... It's never been a part of me. I like maths, that has always been my excuse; it shouldn't be though. I want to gain a full perspective of the English language. I want to leave England and see the world knowing that I haven't just improved my vocabulary but I have appreciated the English language. Lol I'm so cheesy! Anyway I will leave you to it, if you speak a language or are learning one carry on. I used to hate French but now I love it so wait a while and see it might become very useful.

Oh my Lord!! It has been 2 months since I last posted!! Gahh!! I am so sorry, I just started school last month and it's my final year in secondary school (before A-Levels) and the work has been really piling on... So anyway let me stop rambling and get to the point. It's Autumn!!! My favourite season!! So I am going to make a quick list of my Fall essentials.

1. Boots: I feel like everyone need some kind of boot wether it's converse or uggs; just something.

2. I love, hats! Beanies, fedoras, baseball caps. Something to add that flare into your wardrobe

3. Cross over bags are really cute, I'm loving the Cèline nano, très cute! 

4. Oversized coats are one of my favourite things. I just think that it is super cute and super classy. 

5. Some sort of plaid is a must have. I think urban outfitters and topshop are going through a mega plaid season. 

6. A fresh face, it's not really an essential but I think with the cold weather coming especially in London it is good to have that clear fresh face with minimal make up. Or maybe on a night out have either bright lips or bold eyes.

Shopping









So yesterday I went to do a little bit of shopping. I went to Topshop and Urban Outfitters. As you can see all my items are black :) because that's my favourite colour. The crop top is from Topshop and is just a basic thing, I have a white one from american apparel and I don't really like it that much, so I wanted to give Topshop a try. I got this matte dark grey nail polish that looks like it's purple, but is grey. I love matte colours so I think it looks really good. I also got this Fringe dress from Topshop. Originally I didn't like it but one of the shop attendants was wearing it and it looked really good so yeah, I bought it. Another item from Topshop is this jumpsuit that I absolutely love, I also saw this on a shop attendant and I thought it was amazing. The back has a slit in it to give the jumpsuit a sexy edge. My last purchase from Topshop (which isn't in the pictures) is black chiffon shorts that are a bit high waisted. They were on sale so that probably why I couldn't find them. I bought this amazing hat from UO that I've been looking for. It's super cute and I really like it.

My Wardrobe



Well although it's really messy, still this is my wardrobe. I have established that it is minuscule but I'm going to have to live with that; although I will be getting a chest of drawers to compensate for how small it is. Considering we just moved in and my bed still hasn't arrived my mind is still a bit messed up and I'm still a bit jet lagged from my visit to China earlier in the summer. I only realised that as of today I have 24 DAYS left of the summer! I am weeping. Well I'll post something soon, not so sure what it will be about though... I need to get into this whole blogging thing properly. To help me I now have the blogger app on my phone so I can keep you guys posted while I'm on the go.

Starting Over

So I've decided to redo my wardrobe. I realised that firstly, I have too many clothes (majority of which are old and outdated), I don't have classic pieces, I need to learn to stop holding on to my possession and give away thing that I don't want or need and finally I don't wear half of my closet anymore.

I need to learn that there is time for everything, even when it comes to clothes....

Since I just moved into a new house, my bed doesn't arrived for a few more days so I have time to really organise myself and my things.

(I will be posting pics of my wardrobe transformation)
