Today I'm feeling pretty lousy because of some stupid boy who turned out to not be
worth the effort I put into him, so I'm going to have one of my best friends over and
we're going to watch films (any we can find that don't have a boy-meets-girl
storyline, and they're more difficult to find than you think) and eat pizza and sweets
and chocolate and drink loads of tea and bitch about how stupid men can be.

If you have a man (or woman, I don't discriminate) in your life I hope that they are
wonderful and make you as happy as you deserve to be.

Autumn is coming

Autumn is coming by prawnnnnn featuring a loose sweater

Autumn - or Fall, I love that name - is my second favourite season, after Winter, just because it is so homely and warming, and is a relaxing period after the so-called 'excitement' of Summer (which I never seem to experience). I love the crisp, dewy mornings and the cheek-reddening winds, the piles of crunchy leaves and the hearty meals.
Plus, Autumn means going back to school with my friends, and I often see it as the start of a new year, rather than January 1st, as it is when everything recycles in my life, and has done for the past 13 years.

I'm actually quite excited to go back to school this time, and probably for the first time ever, as it will be a hard and busy year, that ends with the choice of going to University (which I still remain undecided on), doing a further course at a college, or going into the working world for real, whether that be in an apprenticeship or a full-time job. I just know that I'm going to have to make massive decisions and massive steps (and be MATURE), and I want to get started as soon as possible, as it's going to be so freaking scary!!
I'm sort of starting to feel old enough for all this; is this me growing up?

Anyway, what could enpower you to get cracking more than a lovely, cosy outfit to wear? I always think of Autumn colours as mustards and plums, as well as the obvious oranges, reds, yellows and browns, so this is my very obvious take on the style.
For me, no matter what 'trends' are in at this period, I always wear the same stuff, warm-coloured jumpers, jeans, and heavy shoes. It's just a no-fail solution to being cosy and rosy!

Anyway, thank you for reading, let us know what you are going to get up to in the Autumn months in a comment. We're going to see Bowling For Soup!!! How exciting.

House parties can be a bit of a mine field when it comes to what to wear - when you hear party, you think of dressing up, but then you hear house, which calls for something more casual. I usually go for a blend of casual and dressy, because if you don't know everyone who's going to be there, there isn't much opportunity to discuss outfit choices, and nobody likes to show up to a party feeling under or overdressed.

In this look I've gone for a simple summery dress, then toughened it up with a leather jacket. Sandals are a good option for a house party, because they're easy to slip on and off if the host asks you not to wear shoes indoors, but they mean you can be up dancing all night and are far less likely to stumble after a few drinks. Keep jewellery to a minimum and don't wear anything that you'd be distraught to lose (I've spent many a morning-after-the-night-before looking for some girl's Pandora bracelet that she lost after her sixth vodka Red Bull)

I never feel "ready" unless I've painted my nails, and as a bit of a traditionalist, I like my nails to co-ordinate with my outfit if I'm going out. Lastly, a flick of liquid eyeliner and some loose waves never look out of place.
