Live life like today is your last

Life is for living. Don't just dream your dreams...live them. Kiss boys, drink cocktails, wear heels to do the laundry in, dance in the rain, play in the snow, lie in the sun, dance in your underwear, wear your Sunday best on a Saturday, take photographs, make memories and fall in love. Keep your eyes open and take in the world. Fashion surrounds us..as Coco Chanel said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.". Work hard, play harder. Love from me. x x x

Confessions of a Fashionista - A MUST read.

So I recently purchased Confessions of a Fashionista and..true to form when I discover an engrossing book...read the whole thing in one sitting.

Buy the book, follow the lady on twitter @FashConfessions / @TheAngelaClarke - her tweets are fun and make a change from the drivel that most of the other celebs tweet...and have a little injection of fun into your life.

Angela Clarke manages to highlight how insane the fashion industry can be and, like she does frequently in the book, raised the question for me...do I really want to be a part of this world?

But you know what, I do. Yes the models are too thin and we're not saving the world, but we can't all be life savers, the beauty of fashion is that it offers a creative escape route for those of us who still believe in fairytales and romance.

Fashion is fun and impractical but it refuses to change for anyone. It is an industry full of super-b*tches (sorry mum for kind-of swearing if you're reading this) but I adore it and with graduation and a few job applications sent off  (I feel so old) already the dream is a little closer each day...now just to finish this dissertation. EEEEEP!


Bisous.
