Pretty baby with the high-heels on...

It's hard to be on the internet at the moment without coming across a story of any kind about Michael Jackson and his untimely demise, and I hate to add to the list but...

After flicking through an old copy of Elle that talked about Balmain's 2009 S/S 09, and having the iconic military jacket catch my eye, I came across an article in the Evening Standard today that talked about the trend for homage to the King of Pop.

Because he himself wore so much of the new line (even though it was designed mainly for women) it makes sense to pay your respects by wearing something he had previously advocated. And with Beyonce, Posh and Rihanna already rocking the look, you can bet your bottom dollar that it won't be long before the rest of the fashion pack follow suit.

Beats a white glove at Glastonbury, eh Lily?

Unrequited lust...

So, I am still hankering after the amazing Office 'Hold Me Back' Wonder Woman sandals, but now I have a new crush. After meeting a lovely lady at a cocktail tasting who was wearing these with a cute little nautical dress, I'm sold! They're perfectly stylish and would go with everything in my wardrobe, it just has to be fate. Luckily, my birthday is just over a week away, so maybe, just maybe they might be in my possession a little sooner than never! 

Love is harmony, desire is the key

As previously mentioned, at the moment I find myself to be one of the statistics in the 18-24 unemployed category. And while I am most definately not alone in my search for the perfect job/career, I am finding the rejection and lack of potential work heartbreaking. Of course, there are a few advantages to having a lot of free time; spending lots of time with friends & family, catching up with trashy TV, reading lots of books & developing skills to ultimately land one of these illustrious, aforementioned jobs. But at the same time the massive factor lacking in my day-to-day adventures is good old fashioned money, which, at the moment I'm sincerely lacking! And since I devour every fashion magazine I can get my hold on, it is absolutely torture to see so many dresses, shoes, accessories etc that I cannot possibly afford. I am currently watching about a million vintage floral dresses on ebay in the hopes that one goes for a relatively low price!

I have, however, just upgraded my phone, seeing as my last one was so old I couldn't even receive picture messages! Now I am the proud owner of a Nokia E71, which I have been setting up and fiddling with all night. And it was free! Ah, gotta love the credit crunch.
