the end of 10

JUST SOME FINAL NEW YEAR'S SNAPS 

including the all important outfit post; i love this girl right there; just another thank you ♥

NOW I CAN PUT IT TO BED, HELLO 2011.

SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO FORGET

TAKE MY WORD- I SHALL NEVER BE DOING THE WHOLE 'NEW YEAR'S NIGHT OUT' THING AGAIN, EVER. I HAD QUITE HONESTLY THE MOST HORRIFIC NIGHT (WHICH UNFORTUNATELY MY HANGOVER NOR ... EVENTS LET ME FORGET QUITE AS READILY AS ANTICIPATED.)

THE START OF 2011 DIDN'T GO QUITE AS PLANNED; BLOOD-STAINED SILK SHIRT, STOLEN BLACKBERRY, SMASHED KITCHEN WINDOW AN A HEFTY £400 DENT IN MY FINANCIAL SITUATION. HENCE MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. 

I WOULD TELL YOU THE REST OF THE NIGHT WAS GOOD, BUT I CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER IT. (IS IT COMPLETELY CRINGE-WORTHY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN BUY A TIPPLE IN THE BAR? OH, LIGHTWEIGHT.) AS USUALLY I'D LIKE TO THINK OF MYSELF AS A 'RESPONSIBLE' DRINKER, WITH AN UNPARALLELED ABILITY TO DODGE NIGHTMARE HANGOVERS, I WAS HORRIFIED TO STUMBLE INTO TWENTY-ELEVEN WITH AN OVERWHELMING SENSE OF NAUSEA AND A NON-FIXABLE HEAD BOOM. TO AVOID SELF-EMBARASSEMENT, I'D LIKE TO THINK I COUOLD PUT IT DOWN TO SOMETHING ELSE, PASSING-FLU PERHAPS? 

HMM, OKAY; THE PRE-DRINKS PICTURES SAY DIFFERENT. (AND PERHAPS EXPLAIN A FEW THINGS, CIDER + CAVA, WHO INSTIGATED THAT?) TIME TO MAKE AMENDS, NOW, WHERE'S MY BLACKBERRY. OH YEAH, STOLEN. 


OUTFIT INSPIRATION: CHUCK BASS 

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION:   don't drink 

my lovely 2010

HAVING TAKEN A GOOD 5 DAYS TO GET OVER MY NEW YEAR'S HANGOVER, AND ANOTHER SEVERAL SWAMPED WITH PROJECT DEADLINES, I'M JUST ABOUT CATCHING UP WITH THE START OF THE NEW YEAR. A LITTLE BELATED YES, BUT NEVERTHELESS,

HAPPY NEW 2011!!

NOW, I KNOW EVERYONE'S ASKING THE SAME, BUT WHERE DID 2010 GO? HONESTLY, IT FLEW BY.

I WISH I HAD TIME TO DO THE WHOLE REMEMBER THIS/REMEMBER THAT BANGBANG, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY WORKLOAD DOESN'T ALLOW THE TIME QUITE YET. (EXPECT THAT COME JANUARY EIGHTEENTH!)

A COUPLE OF DISTANT MEMORIES NOW THOUGH, TREASURED ALL THE SAME:

TIK TOK, 2011.

I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH 2010 ALL OVER AGAIN. MAY HAVE ENDED IN STRESSFUL DEADLINES AND A HORRIFIC NYE (POST TO COME...), BUT LOOKING BACK I REMEMBER IT WAS SWELL. I THINK I'VE CHANGED A LOT (APPEARANCE/ STYLE -WISE TO SAY THE LEAST). GROWN-UP MAYBE. BUT, WHO REALLY KNOWS?

ANYWAY, REVISION ISN'T LIKELY TO DO ITSELF...

MKO♥

LITERALLY LOVE THIS SHOOT FOR MARIE CLAIRE US, SEPTEMBER 2010.

REMEMBER FIRST SEEING IT IN A BOOKSHOP IN HONG KONG; I ACTUALLY LET OUT A TINY YELP.

(oh, how i wish I had time to acutally read fashion magazines these days...)
