I hang my coat up in the first bar.

Personally, I think a night out in usually the perfect time to show off your wardrobe. To put on your favourite heels, dress or skirt, to make you feel a millions dollars. It's probably the favourite part of my night out, to get all dolled up and picking a dress from my collection of 67 dresses that I have, (I counted yesterday and I am now slightly worried about my insane dress habit). So, why is that so many girls insist on making a night out their ideal time to dress like they have walked right out of the local prostitute house, by slapping their face with so much makeup you could mistake them for being the Benefit counter at your local department store, and wearing a skirt that looks like something about of my belt collection.
On friday I went for my average night out, and nearly choked on my malibu and coke when I saw one girl. Not out of jelously, or of her amazing beauty, as I would have prefered to have been halted in my drinking, no, it was thanks to her delightful outfit.
Now, I am all for individuality! I love seeing someone wear something in a new way or trying out a new idea but this 'outfit', if you can call it that, actually made me want to die a little bit inside.
Picture the scene: me and my girlfriends sitting in a bar having a few drinks and in walks in a young girl firstly with overly straightened hair, wearing a demin corset with leggings. OK, so it doesn't sound to bad just saying that, but let me finish. The corset didn't fit her. In fact I was subjected to rather a lot of tummy and hips where she was wearing her leggings as hipsters. One of my pet hates as it is, is the leggings and t-shirt look; I don't really want to see peoples bum cracks!
And while I was hating her outfit as it was, I was saw the shoes. OH THE SHOES... white buckle up boots. At this point, I wanted to cry. Actual, genuine tears.
I just don't understand how these people look in the mirror and think 'oh hell yeah, I look good!' because they would be lying to themselves and destroying eyes such as mine and my friends. Surely, on your weekly night out, you want to look fantastic not trashy. Well, I suppose some people see trashy as fantasic... how sad that they feel the need to go out looking like that.

newbie.

As I am still very new to this whole blogging scene, and its a beautifully sunny day, I thought I'd do a little 'get to know me' quiz that I stole from some quiz website for you, even though it may be terribly boring for you as really, my life isn't THAT exciting but you might aswell get a feel for who's behind the writing!

♥ What is your best friends name?..I have many amazing and extremely sexy best friends, both in southend and southampton!

♥ What color underwear/boxers wearing now?.. I am wearing some cheeky Jack Wills boxers, not exactly the most feminine of things but you know, comfort first and for most!

♥ What are you listening to right now?.. The sound of traffic outside my window. Also I can hear my flat mate talking. It's 4 in the afternoon and she has just got up! YES, i live with slobs.

♥ Whats your favorite number?.. I have two just to be crazy! So, number 7 and 9.

♥ What was the last thing you ate?.. A creme egg, naughty naughty. But they are so irresistbale when they are covering every counter. I only wanted to buy some headache tablets but instead invested in a ball of calories.

♥If you were a crayon what color would you be?..Not really something I've ever considered before, i reckon pink because it's girly or navy, just because I like that colour.

♥How is the weather right now?..Marvellous! Beautiful, sunny and actually a tad warm. If you are a regular reader of my blog you will understand my happiness when I didn't wake up to hideous overcast this morning.

♥Who was the last person you talked 2 on the phone?.. Jamie, my boyfriend talking about V tickets. I brought my ticket this morning, rang my mother to tell her and she hits with the blow that we are infact in the Caribbean. So, now I am left with a ticket to V and i can't even go! BRILLIANT.

♥The first thing you notice about the opposite sex?..Dress sense obviously and their eyes. I am a massive sucker for pretty eyes.

♥ Do you have a significant other?.. Indeed, my lovely boyfriend and I'd also say my friends are definitely a significant other in my life.

♥Favorite TV show?.. That's easy, The Hills. Although, it's not quite the same minus Lauren..

♥ Siblings?.. Yes, brother and sister, who are both younger than me, so yes, I am the oldest of 3.

♥ Height?.. Short. Does that count as a height measurement?

♥ Hair color?.. Browny blonde, like a really dark blonde. Im not sure, it changes in the sun anyways.

♥ Eye Color?..Blue.

♥ Do you wear contacts?.. No, I dont need glasses so that would be a bit silly if I did.

♥ Favorite Holiday?.. I have quite a few. I j'dore New York for shopping but I think every time I go to the Caribbean it takes my heart.

♥ Month?.. Well again, I have two; clearly I am not good at making decisions I have learnt this afternoon. Firstly, July because it's when it gets really hot and August, because it's my birthday and everyone loves the month their birthday is in!

♥ Have you ever cried for no reason?.. What just randomly burst into tears? I'm unsure, maybe. I tend to do strange things out of nowhere.

♥ What was the last movie you watched?.. The Proposal. It was slightly disappointing I have to admit.

♥ Favorite Day of the Year?.. So here comes my indecision once again. Obviously I love my birthday, Christmas and all that but I'd say New Years Eve is other favourite. A time for a fresh start and everyone needs one of those now and again!

♥ Are you too shy to ask someone out?.. Well i've never done it, so i guess so.

♥ Can you do a headstand (not using the wall)?.. No, i most definitely cannot and am not going to try either.

♥ Hugs or Kisses?.. Im going to be greedy and say BOTH. How can you have hugs without kissies?

♥Chocolate or Vanilla?.. In ice cream terms, Vanilla but in food terms, chocolate all the way.

♥ Do you want to get married?.. Yes, so much. I am a proper romantic but I suppose when you meet the right person that's what happens.

♥ Who would you go anything for?.. My family, boyfriend and best friends, clique yes, but we aren't going to run around like a headless chicken for anyone now are we?

♥ Who is least likely to be in your life next year?.. Hopefully, noone will be gone from my life, but a lot changes in a year, but I'd rather not think about that.

♥ What books are you reading?.. This is going to sound awful, but nothing at the moment. I do love a good read, but normally when I'm on holiday, otherwise I tend to just not have the time to fit it in.

♥ Piercings?.. Just my ears. I really couldn't see anything else suiting me.

♥ Favorite movies?.. Like any girl, the most quotable film ever, Mean Girls and i also love Deja Vu even though it's very different to anything I'd usually watch.

♥ Favorite football Team?.. I clearly don't support football, other than England. I do get right into the world cup, so this summer should be fun! But I'd have to say Arsenel, only because my boyfriend supports them and I can't stand his sulking when they lose.

♥ What were u doing before this?.. Just got of the phone to one of my best friends at home, Tas. I love her alot!

♥Butter, Plain or Salted popcorn?.. Salted. Plain and buttered popcorn are vile.

♥ Dogs or cats?.. Dogs! I am ridiculously scared of cat's. I used to have this dream when I was little about a big tiger chasing me and eating me so, I suppose my fear of cats has come from that. Tigers are just basically a big cat and also very very scary.

♥ Favorite flower?.. Roses, any colour.

♥ Been caught doing something you weren't supposed to do?.. I don't think, unless you count underage drinking but let's face it, EVERYONE has had a few before they turn 18, and anyone who says they haven't LIESSSSSSS.

♥ Do you have a best friend of the opposite sex?.. Yes, i have a few, and actually live with some of them. Not so good when you are running from the shower back to your room though.

♥ Have you ever loved someone?..Yes, currently I am very much in love.

♥ Who would you like to see right now?.. Well, I'd like to see Jamie (my boyfriend) as I missing him alot while I am in Southampton and also my friends from Southend that I haven't see for over a month and am missing very deeply.

♥ Are you still friends with people from kindergarten?.. Oh look this is an American quiz! Am i still friends with anyone from NURSERY? No, i don't think so. I don't even remember anyone from when I was 4.

♥ Have you ever fired a gun?..No. No, I havent.

♥ Do you like to travel by plane?.. Like too? Well, I don't think anyone particularly enjoys sitting on a seat for hours but I don't mind when it's taking me away to somewhere lovely.

♥ Right-handed or Left-handed?.. Right handed. Nice and boring I am!

♥ How many pillows do you sleep with?.. Well, I think I change alot. I like a right mix. Sometimes one, sometimes two. Depends on my mood.

♥ Are you missing someone?.. Yes lots of people. Jamie, Tas, Georgie, Chanelle, Luce and all the other Southend girls. A much need bottle of wine with them is needed.

♥ Do you have a Tattoo?.. No thankyou.

♥ Anybody on myspace that you'd go on a date with?.. Well firstly as I never use Myspace and in fact deleted it the other day, no and secondly I wouldn't be dating anyone as have a boyfriend I am very happy with.

So... hope that was really fun for you! Even though I am sure it wasn't at least you got to hear a little bit about me.
Also while I am here I have to show you this.....

How beautiful it this stunning VW bag?! I am a little bit in love with it and I think thats a happy note to leave you on.

The Love Of My Life.

So, like many girls, I use the phrase, 'that is the love of my life' or similairly 'you are the love of my life' a bit to regularly, as really I have over a thousands loves that complete me, these being shoes, bags, clothes, my blackberry; as you can imagine the list goes on. But also like any other girl, I find room for the love for my friends and family, each of whom i have also called the love of my life at some point in my life; many probably alcohol related statements.
Anyway, the other day, one of my beautiful friends, whined to me that she so desperately wanted to be in one of my blogs. She in fact got so excited at my recent charity shop blog (she is a fan of it) thinking she was going to get a mention, she squealed, "oh, oh, here i come!". Il let you picture her disappointed face. With that in mind, I just felt so terrible at her dismay and clearly how much it means to her to be a part of my blog, so i thought you know what, she can have her own little page. So, here you are Ruth, a whole one dedicated to you, how do you feel?!
I'd say Ruth is a mentalist to be honest. A mentalist, with as much as I hate to admit, great style. So below, I have put some snap shots of the lady herself that I have cheekily stolen from her FaceBook, kindly taken by her sister i think. So, here you have it a sneak peek at Ruth's wonderful collection.

There is a few pieces from what I'd call her vintage wardrobe. Her combination of style and accessories is always perfect. However, Ruth is now sporting a new look and bright sleek red hair, putting a finish to her unique look, pictured below.

You see, Ruth dares to be different. Her stand-out and fabulous style, never fails to her noticed. There has been many occasions where many people have complimented, "Wow, I love your hair!", there has even been an incident involving one boy that stalked this redheaded sweetheart asking everyone for her number, bombarding her with texts calling himself her 'badboy'. It was highly amusing but also proof that her style is electric, even when she does look like this....

She also doesn't go un-noticed by the same sex, she has a few lesbian offers to her list also. I think my personal favourite was definitely the lady tramp. Picture the scene: Ruth is walking, a slight bounce in her step as she walks past the flourishing trees of the park. As she breezes round the corner, heading back to her flat, a slight shock sends her reeling backwards. A old lady is standing infront of her, teeth rotted, those that are left, strewn with black markings. Her hair wasn't much of a sight etheir, all matted with last nights pillows mud and grease. As Ruth tried to continue her journey home, the lady shouted, "Oi love, you've got something on your fanny," Ruth slightly besmused peered down, only to hear the women claim proudly, "My eyes!". Naturally she ran.
Ruth's style is that of a vintage queen, varying from vintage clothes, Topshop and charity shopping; her quirky take on fashion admirable. However, it's not just her clothes that makes me love her, it's also her personality has shines through. Many times she has come out with some pretty special oneliners such as:

* "Fucking hell, i look pregnant, like the next virgin mary." "But your not a virgin?" "Oh yeah"

* "I think this dress kinda of makes me look like a slaggy granny"

Ruth is also known for watching strange programmes on her laptop, her personal favourite being Animal Heros, the tales of the gorilla and pig that saved lives. AMAZING! What an inspiration she is.

And these are the well-established reasons why this girl is other part of the love of my life collection. Now, I am sure she fully regerts moaning at me for her lack of mentions and officially hates me. Oh and also lads, this stunner of a girl is free and single, any numbers required just ask :)
