Catwalk Fashion: Wooly Madness!

The catwalk is known as the hotspot of inspiration for many high street and designer brand designers, almost like the building blocks of basically a large majority of what is in our wardrobes. I have fears for what we will be wearing soon based on the latest catwalk designs.

I was actually going to do the type of catwalk articles I normally do - you know, the collages, however I was just too stunned at this wooly monstrosity...

You never know, I might be strolling down the high street in a dead sheep by next winter and so may you. What a deeply worrying though...

I have left you with an illustration of a woman who got in an unfortunate fight with a sheep.

I'm off.

Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo? Here's Some Alternatives That Are Just As Good!

Walking down the shopping centre, staring longingly at some Jimmy Choos, Louboutins or Louis Vuittons, and having that feeling in your stomach wishing you had even one pair to satisfy your needs?

Yeah.

We've all had that feeling.

But, because nearly every girl (and some boys) have had that feeling, I have searched nearly every high street brand to find alternatives! I haven't found any red soled shoes, but I've found almost replicas for a fraction of the price of the Designer Shoes!

First is these Jimmy Choo Black Suede Wedges. A jaw-dropping price of £525!

 

I have two alternatives for these shoes ^^

First are these Andreas Wedge Lace Up Boots which are over 7 times less than the Jimmy Choos by being £70.00 - Not bad, eh?

Now for something a little cheaper (and lower heel) are these Clarks Black Suede Boots at £59.99!

Personally, out of the two I would think that I would prefer the Topshop one. (I haven't worn them though so don't just rely on my advice!)

Topshop Wedges - for those who are used to wearing quite high shoes and can put up with shoes as they get less comfy during the day (or night)! Maybe they're comfy 

Clarks Wedges - My mum wore this pair and said that they were really uncomfortable because the back is too short although they are nice looking...

I'll leave you guys to make up your mind!

Now for these gorgeous (slightly odd) Gucci Blue Patent High Heeled Boots - £560. I think I better find some alternatives.

I found these Debenhams Bright Blue Faux Suede High Heeled Boots that are, okay, not exactly the same - but close! And it's reduced with a price of £48.00 so buy quick!

This was a really hard shoe to find alternatives for - I even looked for different colours with the same design and found...

Nothing.

Moving swiftly on.

The price of the following shoes made me literally skip a beat. No, really. Would you be prepared to fish out £1895 for these Jimmy Choo Metallic Leather Platform Peep Toes? As much as I'd love to, I can't (like most people I presume), so here are some alternatives I tried so hard to find:

Here is some New Look Platform Heels for £69.99. Okay, I admit they look much cheaper than the Jimmy Choos. Then again they are much cheaper so...!

Also, I found some more Debenhams shoes, theSpecial Edition Silver Peep Toes for a VERY reasonable and slightly reduced £28.80 which is over 65 times less than the Jimmy Choos!

Right, I am officially worn out after that search for shoes - if you want me to find alternatives, just give me a link in the comments below!

That was exhausting.

Snuggle Up And Sneeze - A Guide To Get Better When Your ill :-(

Hi! I know, I don't update AT ALL anymore, but that's because I'm super duper in your face busy.
Let me tell you a few things going on in my life:

1) I'm writing two books (one is to be published on wattpad so I'll give you guys the link as soon as it's up) and one is about a school trip to Barcelona in may - and coincidentally I found out yesterday that our school is organising a school trip in may to Barcelona! What are the chances of that?

The first one's called 'The Love and Aim Game' and is about teenage spies.... but I don't know what to call the other one... suggestions?

2) I'm taking part in the BBC School Report and I have two jobs - I write articles to go up on our website and I also (with a group of people) control and research what things we report about - pretty fun stuff, eh?

3) School. I know, the same excuse! But if you come to our school you will know what I mean. It's so much homework (like 5 pieces everyday!) urg.

4) I'm learning 4 languages. Yes, 5. So I learn french (I HATE FRENCH WITH PASSION) and Spanish (which I quite like) at school, but I'm not actually learning any french so I'll leave that out of the languages I'm learning. Also, every now and again my mum is teaching me Turkish and I'm learning German by myself at home. Also, I go to Mandarin class after school every tuesday. So that's Spanish, German, Turkish and Mandarin - not to mention I already speak fluent Farsi and English (meaning I  might talk in a language that might sound like gibberish to you and I won't even realise :-/)

5) I have a new hobby - editing and making videos! I have my first one up on my YouTube 'CherryVizz' (although I have about 10 more I've made). So please check it out!

6) I'm ill. Well, actually this is what the whole article is about.

Here we go with the actual post:

I felt SO SO tired when I came back from school on friday that instead of staying awake until 3 AM, I actually slept. I know, shock horror. By sunday, I had a croaky, sometimes non-existant voice and my nose felt blocked and heavy. Urg. Awful. I also had the odd headache too.

Here are my steps to being well in no time: (I didn't do a lot of this - maybe thats why I'm still ill after 6 days...)

1) Do not go to school, not even to get your books from your locker. Just don't. I didn't go to school on monday but I did on tuesday (stupid me) even though my mum told me not to. And I came back feeling worse than ever.

2) Wear a scarf. End of. Make sure it's not too ugly either.

3) Drink loads of tea. (At the end there's going to be a remedy for sore and croaky throats - my throat hurt so bad I had difficulty swallowing and I though I had tonsillitis!)

Also - have loads of liquids (especially hot liquids) but water and apple juice will do too.

4) Eat chicken (not fried) and (if you can be bothered to make it) chicken soup. This is really good for you. If you're bored of the chicken, get some prawns and boil them, boil some instant noodles and voila! A delicious tasty meal. I suppose you can eat fish too. If your a veggie then pop some plain jacket potatoes in the oven, sprinkle a little salt on them when they come out (no pepper or butter!) and you have yourself a nice simple meal!

5) Don't eat dairy. No butter, yoghurt, cheese. Nope.

6) Make sure you, er, urinate frequently (see step 3).

NOW FOR MY HOME REMEDY!
1) Get a cup (okay yah, I know, basic steps...)
2) Squeeze half a lemon's juice into that cup (you can add more lemon if you want later)
3) Pour hot water from the kettle into the cup and fill it up to however much you want to drink.
4) Honey honey honey! Put some honey in the drink and et voila!
5) Drink up, and drink these however often you like

Some other things I should mention:
Eat a spoonful of honey (manuka honey is best, but any honey will do) as honey is a natural antibiotic!
Gargle salt water every now and again as this is also a natural antibiotic.
Have throat lozenges (soothers) every few hours and if you have one of those sprays for sore throat relief, make sure to use it!
Oh, and SLEEP A LOT!

Get well soon :-) - OH AND HAVE CALPOL YUM YUM

One Direction are what?!

You may remember those five guys, Louis, Zayn, Niall, Liam and Harry who all auditioned separately on the X Factor. Months later they became global stars with their single 'What makes you beautiful'.

As officially the bigest boy band in the world!

After they sold out Madison Square Garden (which is somewhere in the world probably), they obviously deserve the title as the biggest boy band:D

With a sold out audience of screaming young girls, Liam, Louis, Harry, Niall and Zayn
couldn't believe where their journey had taken them.

Okay, who's like me - I wish I met One Direction before they were famous - it would be so much easier to be [one of] their friends... Now if I try say hi to them they'll think I'm some immature fan :(

BTW: I'm not an obsessive directioner... actually I'm not even a directioner at all... I just think they are cool guys...

Simples ;-)

Anyway comment down below if you think the same as me or if you are a directioner xx

Editor's note: I'm so sorry in not updating in like... two months! I have A LOT of school work to do, 

mock exams and tests... you know... all that rubbish stuff that's compulsory in our lives :-s 

So this is just some short news about the boys I've found out!!! Hope you enjoyed xx

First Time Guide: Hollister isn't Expensive! (Gilly Hicks Too!)

Ok, so loads of people say that Hollister and Gilly Hicks are expensive brands, however I think it is a very reasonably price for something of such good quality compared to other brands. If you're a first time buyer, make sure to check out the clearance and the sales in these shops (there's always one, no matter how little or how many thinks are on sale.


This is a guide for those who are new to Hollister and GH who are reluctant to going in there due to the darkness, over-stench of perfume and the so called 'expensive prices'. Yes, I don't deny that some of the products are a little on the steep side of the money ladder, but you can find a things there as low as £3 (well they are pants (knickers) but still...).

Also, for those of you who are familiar to Hollister and GH, this can just be a way to prove to your friends that they are worth buying!

Lets compare: Sorry about the annoying format, blogger wouldn't let me put the pictures next to each other. The First is from GH and is only £13.90 in the sale, so be quick and buy it because it will soon be sold out! This pretty electric blue colour goes well with light washed skinny jeans or shorts, and is the key to any casual outfit. Just slip it on and you'll look like you've put a lot of effort in your outfit! Pair with Electric blue vans or toms. Even possible to wear with high tops :D

 

The 2nd is actually from Hollister and has bigger lines in black. Once again, these definitely go well with light shorts (distressed) and converses. Perfect for a windy but not quite cold enough to put a coat on day. To be honest, I find even one layer of GH or Hollister is enough to keep me warm on those windy days. This is also in the sale for £18.90, but then again GH has always been a tad cheaper than Hollister, but eh oh it's only a fiver difference if you think about it :D

This last jumper is from Lipsy (available at Lipsy and Next), and although it's not in the sale, if it was it still wouldn't go down to the price that GH and Hollister has on their sale items). This striped jumper is £35, yes, £35, and I'm not sure it'll even be as warm and as good quality as Hollister and GH products (p.s. I'm kind of getting tired of writing Hollister and GH so can I just say H and Gh?:)) There you are, this is one of the many examples that H and GH are somewhat cheaper than other brands.

Peeps, carry on reading below and I'll see what I come up with to write about GH and Hollister :D

Ok, I admit A&F isn't as cheap as H and GH are but then again the reason for this is... to be honest I don't actually know. I prefer shopping at H and GH rather than A&F as money doesn't grow on trees, plus I don't have an A&F near me, and A&F doesn't have a sale or clearance which kind of sucks. I advise you guys to check out all the stores and make your mind up about which one you prefer (although all of them have close designs, they have their differences) and when you decide which one you like (it may be all of them), save up to buy from there, it's worth it. If you want it, make sure you get it and nothing alike because you'll end up wanting what you wanted in the first place.

Basically, if you want more on this topic, then just comment below and I will!

:D
