I dreamed a dream in time gone by, that hope was high and I carried a fish

Hello,

Today has been one of those exhausting days. The kind of day when you wake up in the morning and know you will be one step behind because you didn't sleep well. Why did I not sleep well you ask? Well I have a lot on my mind with the move to London being imminent - but the finding of a place to stay being not so.... Because of this I have been finding myself tossing and turning until I settle into a dream riddled sleep at about 4am. It cannot just be me who finds dreaming the oddest thing ever. I remember from uni psych classes that in some cases you dream about things you want to happen but know can never - wish fulfilment if you will. This makes perfect sense in some instances. We all have the dream where the love of our life finally tells us he loves us too. We are usually dressed in a ridiculous Oscar de la Renta gown and are a size 0, but nonetheless the important part is the Juliet moment when you find out your lifelong love tells you he digs you too. But then, and often may I say in the same night, you also dream that you no longer want to carry round a bag and so start holding a fish...or you decide to open a microbrewery in Vegas with your highschool history teacher - none of these things are really on my wish list. The brain, she works in mysterious ways. After the restoring one hour of full sleep I have spent the day in B&Q (no one wants to see that much orange when they havent slept), spoken to cockney geezaaaas from London about renting apartments that range from those looking like they used to be a prison, to those you wish were as nice as one (who knew nothing under £1,500 pcm wouldn't get you hospitable living) to finally being left without electricity for a good part of the day whilst my father tries to fix some stuff. This is all well and good except my hair has not been blow dried or straightened and appears to have a family of magpies living in it - they are after my gold earrings no doubt - well the joke is on them because they are from Topshop. Oh and I found a mysterious goo on my top earlier which may or may not have been crushed Skips (the crisps, not something you dump rubbish in) I was feeding to one of my favourite people earlier - a baby, i'm not indulging in another's food fetish.

So without further ado....or mysterious goo, we move onto

Gucci S/S12 Collection

_s_ready_to_wear#look2771
Fashion Trend: Gold - everyone from Gucci to DKNY sent glittering gold down the runway this season. It is unusual to see so much metallic in the S/S months as they are more a Christmas/winter essential, but to tell you the truth, i'm loving it! Gucci teamed it with green and black, which they have done before, but have still come up with a host of new ideas. Everyone is trying to get hold of the bags from the new collection because they are just so delicious. The outfit I have shown here is well over £5,000 for the entire thing and is therefore literally worth its weight in gold, but has got to be one of my favourites. I love when people are brave enough to wear every piece in the same colour - which I may add is very in with coloured jeans and matching shirts this S/S. Gucci have tried to add a gold accessory to every one of their outfits though, whether it be a gold corsage to a skinny belt; try it yourself. If you can't afford Gucci then pop to New Look, Forever 21 or H&M who will have something to suit everyone. Remember EVERYTHING that glitters is gold!!
Michael Kors Michael Kors Two Tone Chronograph Watch, Gunmetal
Two Tone Chronograph
Gunmetal - Michael Kors
Approx £200

Fashion Item: Gunmetal jewellery. Pick up anything gunmetal from anywhere and it will be lusted after by everyone else! Gunmetal is the jewellery material of choice at the moment and would look so great juxtaposed against a shiny gold outfit. I am thinking chunky man watch and we all know the only places to buy watches from are Rolex and Michael Kors and seeing as we are just shy of the £10,000 we need for that Rolly lets get the Michael Kors one - it has rose gold in it as well - killing two metal bird trends with one stone!! http://www.michaelkors.com/search.jhtml?No=0&Ntt=Michael+Kors+Crystal+Bezel +Chronograph+Watch+&_requestid=22220&N=0&va=t



Gio Diev
http://giodiev.com/index.html
Store or Label: Giodiev.com. I have followed this designer for a while through his career because he has popped up in fashion weeks and has worked with everyone from Chanel and beyond. His shoes are TO DIE FOR. You can't buy directly from his website, but take a look. He has stores all over the world not England yet unfortunately, but America, Russia, China etc. If we could dream in shoes Gio would definitely be the guy opening the Microbrewery with us. Sigh.

Celebrity or Designer: Georgia May Jagger. Born to be superstaresque, the child of Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger was always going to catch the public's eye at some point and now she has. A model of the highest proportions she graces the cover of March's Harper's Bazaar in a way that only a rockstar lovechild can! She has the Madonna gap tooth and the wild-eyed look creating a cross between Lara Stone and Kate Moss. She has been in every campaign from H&M through to Hudson jeans and as the youngest of the Jagger daughters I'm sure she isn't through just yet...

So, go to bed early, it is Thursday and the weekend draws near - almost time to move like Jagger!!
