Good morning, I had a dream.
It wasn't the Martin Luther kind but it would involve a neat relationship between blacks and whites. *gasp* calm down, I had a dream where walking into the office was not an array of tailored TM Lewin but rather an explosion of the Milanese runway. Enough talking from me, I'm going to share, here are some images from my dream!
Gahh! Gaddafi and Galliano
Howdy, So I am back and in full swing I believe... we shall see what happens over the next few weeks. From the title of this blog, you can see who I am upset with right now. And its the G's. No not G as in Don or 'top general' (thats my bilingual part translating for you), rather its Gaddafi and Galliano:
Lets start with the Libyan Leader. If you are anything like me, you will nod and 'ahhh' about a topic that everyone apparently knows so much about until you actually find out the facts. But if you happened to miss the wave of news reports on the situation because you were sitting exams that required you to answer the same question on s19(1) FSMA and whether confidentiality overrides disclosure over and over and over aga...-
I'm so sorry I was ranting and that is completely off topic! But did anybody else know that 'p' is not just a letter in the alphabet and is apparently part of a VERY IMPORTANT formula: 7/400 x (£1.5m – ‘p’) x PCTCT/’p’.
Gosh I just can't stop! So being inspired by the somewhat successful overthrow in Egypt, the residents of Libya have taken to the streets to stand their ground in indignant protest. As the masses poured into the streets of Tripoli Muammar Gaddafi made it clear that he was not going to go without a fight. The Libyan leader has held his position for a massive 42 years. It is then no surprise that while the protesters are saying 'times up!', they have been shot at and the bloodshed and death toll has begun to make it look like just another middle-eastern-war-torn-country.
BUT do not shut down, this is a pivotal moment in history and I believe that we as young people can fight through the desensitisation that the media has subjected us to. If these protests are successful it could have massive implications on other dictatorships and if not massive implications on the way Libya is governed moving forward. I mean can you even IMAGINE having David Cameron (i'm ignoring the other one on purpose) sitting in power for 42 years and refusing to shift, its deep stuff. Anyway this is me just saying watch this space.
Now as for Galliano, a man we have all grown to love whether we want to or not. For those of you that do not know who he is (i'll be the first to admit I heard his name for the first time last year when a friend of mine was chilling in his hotel room as part of her internship!), he is a super-duper, futuristic, furiously fantastic designer. He has currently been suspended from walking the polished halls of fashion house Christian Dior. WHYYY! you scream. Well it is not without reason.
His marvellously skilled hands were unable to reach his mouth intime to stop him from making some rather violent remarks along the lines of 'your parents would have been gassed' (and no, he was not talking about the slang term that means talking nonsense) and other praise for Hitler in the presence of some unsuspecting Jews having a not-so-nice Latte.
Meh, it makes me a little furious when people think in such ways but being subjected to direct racism in the past it has made me realise it is a fact of life, people will think how they think and we just have to thicken our skin and deal with it. That being said this is only in reference to remarks, anything past that and people should take to the streets ofTripoli! I mean Trafalgar Square.
Anyway I will leave you with a few of Galliano's beauties (apparently he is still making the royal wedding dress HA!)

H&M at Home - Long awaited launch online!
I am just a little bit excited about the fact that my blackberry vibration was in response to an email from H&M... it was telling me that as much as I love being pushed around on the high street and picking up clothing from the floor, standing in a long queue to try it on and looking for a Starbucks so I can reward myself with a *Coffee Light Frappucino Hold The Fat*... they are launching ONLINE September 16th.
I believe that I will be able to sleep... I mean the whole point of being online is that you can shop whenever you want right? Nevertheless...

Beauty Re:Vue - Maybelline Color Sensational (Pink Please)
I am yet to find a stand by photographer who will take amazing pictures of me on a really expensive camera. With a Xdd5i lens. Neither do I have a tri-pod. You will have to make do.
This is a little review of the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 'Pink Please'. I like this lipstick and wore it today to give my simple look a little bit of interest. See I decided to wash my hair this morning before work and didn't have time to adequately blow-dry and style it. So pulled back into a puffy ponytail it was for me!
got an insect bite under my eye :(
(ah well!)

Anyhoo I wore this top & necklace (vintage/primark)
With these jeans
These earrings (African Jewellery)
And these shoes (Poetic License)
The Lipstick looks like this with no lip conditioner as a base and nothing on top for shine. It can be glossified and glamorised in this way.
(ah well!)
Love the way it feels when it goes on and also has a good smell. I managed to get mine from eBay for only £5 so good price too!

Breaking News: Updates
I'm sure many people will be disappointed to know that despite the flirting that happened between international law firms Mayer Brown and Simmons & Simmons (hereby documented), they have announced that they are going to remain just friends. I really thought that they would be next on the marriage scene, I had already bought my dress. :(
In addition I wrote earlier about Naomi Campbells fears of being summoned to court here. Today I am a little saddened to update that the supermodel will indeed be summoned to court to testify at Christopher Taylor's war trial regarding an alleged 'blood diamond' he gave to her.
