Hi, POLKA, hiiiiiiiiii

Wednesday, April 22, 2009







OOH, the stress is on. Exams are looming: just under four weeks away now. Is it panic time? Unfortunately....yes. Currently fervently typing away: an essay on The Great Gatsby and On The Road: fantastic reads...the research behind the assignment- a tad less captivating...

Thank you all for your "Get Well" wishes, you guys are too sweett! I am swiftly spinning back into my healthy-self. I can now hold Vogue up, which I guess, is the most important thing....haha. Flying back to Durham tomorrow, am rather anxious to see all the people I love, drink tea, eat sushi...and be in my small, slightly dingy British house. I just bought this stuff on Topshop...they accept payment by Paypal: which sent me into spasm of excitement...


more later...enough shopping & blogging: essay, essay, essay, ESSAY.

Adorable outfit! Although term papers are a drag, those are two very fantastic book topics. Good luck with exams!

I hate how all amazing things are vintage and there's no chance of me ever finding them, all eyes on your gold chain. Great outfit, and there is no way your waist could possibly look wide!

This is the sort of outfit I long to wear for work but I don't have the confidence! Plus I'm rubbish at vintage shopping.
Glad you're feeling better. And..your waist is tiny! You're mad!

glad you´re on the way towards healthy- which you´re righ to equal with holding up Vogue! I mean, if there´s no power for a glossy, there´s no power at all.
and good luck on everything exam-related although I think your task sound really, really interesting!
and you commented about sending me something some posts ago- I never got anything in the mail, hope it didn´t get lost?

anyways, lovelovelove to you, I hope we´re getting to talk seriously again soon!

Wow, I love this outfit, the whole ensemble is just perfect and suits you. That skirt is such an amazing find - and it doesn't make your waist look huge. Love the necklaces aswell.
Good luck with all your exams!!

I'm currently doing The Great Gatsby for AS; think it's one of the only english school course books I've truly loved doing as a lesson.
And you've inspired me to read On The Road as I'm doing a road trip with the boyfriend this summer; yay!

Glad you're feeling better.
And I hope you were joking about the heffer huge waist, it's tiny!
