Well hello misery guts! That's me, not you. Well actually it's not me at all but it definitely looks like it...why I no be all pretty and smiley like Tara? My face should look all happy because despite the fact it's January and wet and miserable and my lungs are being a bit naughty I've been waking up with a massive smile on my face every day. I don't know why and I don't care why either really, you should question yourself if you're feeling sad and don't know why but unexplained happiness should just be enjoyed while it lasts!

Although my weekend was a bit of a bore to be honest, I didn't really feel like winding down because I just wanted to go out but then I looked out my window and was just like....nah. But I did go through 4 years worth of Vogue and Elle and InStyle and cut them up for my scrapbook which was fun (yup, I'm a child ok?) but kind of bittersweet really because at some point this week the poor cut up things will have to go to the dump to be recycled. That's like hundreds of pounds worth of stuff gone mannn! It will be tough saying goodbye to them, they're almost like old friends. I will prepare a soundtrack of James Blunt, Adele and of course a bit of Boyz II Men...End Of The Road is a classic goodbye song! Also, Say Goodbye by S Club 7. Both were played at our school's leaving thing and it was emotional. I know a lot of people complain about Vogue but I just randomly picked one up one day because I was staying in hospital and needed a magazine. I fell in love with the cover (it was this one)  and I just thought Kate looked so cool in her sequin dress and parka, in fact the whole editorial remains a favourite to this day. Before then I'd never had an interest in fashion although I'd always loved clothes and shopping. These days I don't buy British Vogue as much (although I still can't resist a Kate cover) because I kind of felt like it'd become too safe and almost dull but I think that it's definitely become a bit more exciting recently! For me Vogue should be about fantasy, Elle and other mags are for shopping inspo. I'm also loving the return of models on the cover, it gets boring when it's all about celebs. I've still got that first issue I ever bought, it's so dogeared and the pages are falling out but it's special to me.

Anyway I've basically been living in some variation of this outfit for the past week and yes, my ankles do indeed get nippy and no, these furry shoes have not actually been ruined by the rain. Nice one GAP.
