f21 mini haul

Forever21 is an extremely popular store in the States which is why I was extremely excited when they unveiled their British website not too long ago. Even though I am in love with f21 after watching countless American beauty gurus on YouTube I have only just got round to purchasing something from the store! I am so mad at myself that I haven't before, the service and everything was just amazing. 

The first item I wanted was a pair of simple skinny jeans, originally I wanted to buy a stone wash pair but the smallest size was 30in which 5in bigger than what I needed but I saw these darker wash whiskered jeans that I instantly fell in love with. When I purchased them they were available in size 25in to 30in but looking at the website right now the 26in and 30in are the only sizes available so looks like these jeans won't last long! They come in 2 colours: denim & dark denim (basically grey). Purchase them here for £14.75

The second item was this knitted rosette beanie hat, on sale from £6.65 to £2.99. Available in 3 colours: oatmeal, taupe & burgundy. I bought this because well it was on sale and winter's coming up soon s I'm going to need a cosy hat to protect my hair from the harsh weather conditions that will ensue! I picked the lightest colour (oatmeal) knowing it's extremely neutral and will go with anything in my wardrobe which is a must for my accessories  Purchase it here

Pictures coming soon

discuss our current relationship status

Day 11
In the past month I've got out of a relationship and am honestly in no rush to get back into one, I'm going off to university in one year so what's the point in getting committed just because you can? I'm 16 & don't need anything holding me back so I'm just enjoying the freedom I have left with my friends before I move away next year. Just because everyone's in relationships doesn't mean you need to be, I'm fine with being independent.

your view on drugs & alcohol

Day 10
There's nothing wrong with drugs & alcohol as long as it's done in moderation. For instance, I'm under-age and of course I've touched alcohol, what British teenager in the 21st century hasn't? Unlike the majority of people I know where I live, me and my friends don't get wrecked every weekend. Two of them have gone straight edge, meaning they don't touch drugs or alcohol!
Personally I've never touched drugs but about 95% of the people I know have, a few of the people I grew up with are now on drugs on a regular basis, that doesn't change my opinion of them. They're still the same people I knew they just harm their bodies in an unnatural way, thing is I won't judge them for it. It's their choice at the end of the day!

I've been lucky in my life, I have never been pressurised into taking drugs or touching alcohol or into smoking. If I try something it's my choice and no-one elses.

Vanessa Hudgens jumps on the short band wagon

Logging onto msn doesn't tend to shock me, today it made my jaw drop. You know that msn today news pop up thing? One of the article links showed a picture of Vanessa Hudgens.. with short hair. Normally I'd leave the link and close the window but I had to check this out!

Although this look was unveiled for a Neutrogena event it was't really hyped up until the Captain America red carpet premiere where she sported a glam take on the look in LA on 19th July 2011.

This may be for a film role but Hudgens wears this style with true Hollywood confidence. Her upcoming film 'Gimme Shelter' is a whole world away from her Disney High School Musical roots, Vanessa will be playing a pregnant homeless woman! Shocked?

Personally I think she carries off this look effortlessly but I still prefer her signature wavy locks. What do you think?

your last kiss

Day 9
I've missed a few days, silly kayla.
Anyway, my last kiss? Oh god. My last kiss was the early hours of this morning in a game of truth & dare. I'm not going into detail as that game stays in that room.

grant mower? who?

A 12 year-old boy from Flower Mound, Texas has been confirmed to create a dress for the first lady Michelle Obama. I saw this on Perez Hilton's blog, (where else?) and after watching the video along with reading the post itself decided this really needed to be recognised!

Of course it's been hard for him, I mean everyone gets bullied in school at some point. Imagine being a 12 year old guy wanting to be a fashion designer in middle school.. tough right? His perseverance is inspiring, no matter what the bullies do he carries on reaching for what he wants in life!

He won a local fashion competition in his home town beating out fashion students in high school and college! Impressive.  Here's some pictures of the designs I could get hold of:

I really wanted to show you the design he has in store for Mrs Obama, but it's being kept securely under wraps! Grant will be travelling to Park City, Utah to schedule a fitting with this lucky lady whilst she's in town for a presidential fundraiser next week.
