I’m off to Italia tomorrow!
With the family (not so cool) but I’m positive it’ll be great! We’re flying in to Pisa, and staying at a very Graaand hotel for the night. The Royal Victoria Hotel.. phooer!
Next day we’re getting the train up to Genoa, where we will be staying in an apartment. I’m really looking forward to the shopping on this trip! I want shoes, a bag and a pair of jeans. Of course many other silly things that I’lll come across, but I think Italy is a good place to buy these staples!
While Italy is famous for leather, I really need a pair of plimsoll- type shoes, like converse (not hi-rise) or Keds. I think that if I come across a pair of good leather shoes I’ll grab them, though!
I want a leather bag, even though the idea of leather is uck! Something that looked like one of these would do me fine, thank you!
Oh, why are bags so beautiful?
I am lusting toward a pair of Levi 501s, but I think I really need to try them on to make sure that I can carry them off. The crotch is longer than I’m used to!
Hmm… well goodbye for a while!
MIAOW!
I have been away.
Far, far away in a wonderous place called Lahinch!
Every year I go to Lahinch to stay with friends and surf. While we usually go to the surf school, this year we decided that we had learn all we could from it, and decided to just surf with her dad’s board. Alas, the waves were pretty nonexistent, so we only went out twice. Once, on a messy icky day, and once on a glorious, glassy day! I was using the dad’s boards, mostly his 8′6″, but my favourite was his 10′00″. Wowow, it was amegamazing. I don’t want to boast, but.. oh well YES I DO! I was walking the board, on my first day on a longboard. So that’s it! From wanting to to buy a short 6′7″, I have been converted to having my heart set on a 9′00″. Woohoo!
On my way back home, I stopped in Galway to stay with Laura (click here for her music..!). She brought me to a gig in a bookshop called Bell Book and Candle, where I fell in love with three bands I had never heard of before. What is it about live music that makes it so amazing? They were: The Terribles (not at all Terrible!), So Cow (put on quite a show, geez was he sweating!) and Slo Mo Fireworks (they use the drum beats on one of those mini Casio keyboards, that every had when they were a kid!)
The next day I stumbled into Topshop, not expecting to find anything within my price range. But there, right in front of me, was a pile so big of clothes, all twinkling at me to touch, right under a big BUY ONE GET ONE FREE sign. *faints*. Yes, I was excited. I rifled through desperately, and what did I find, but a pair of high waisted shorts! I had previously classed them as faddy and that only trendsters would wear them, but they looked so good (helped muchly by the €15 price tag!) So I decided to try them on. I searched for my get one free.. and what did I find, but a really great woolen skirt that will last me all A/W! I tried them on, and… love!
I also bought a ruffly top for €3 in Penneys, which I love!

Have I told y’all about my fanzine?
Not properly, no.
I’m not in the mood to, yet.
Harry Potter is out today ^.^
Anywhoo… While in town on Tuesday we saw these cool people. I said I wanted to ask them for a picture for the zine. Grace was all “do it do it do it!”, but I was like.. “nahh ima shy-a” Then Megan shouted “EXCUSE ME! Can she take a photo of you for her magazine?”
And I did. When I asked if they played instruments they said no. I felt silly. I asked if they were in a band, but turns out they were buskers “earning a bit of moneys”(Not very smart ones-we saw hem ambling towards the suburbs to busk!)
I asked if they wanted to say anything, and they replied with blank faces, saying there was “nothing” in their heads.
Anyway, they are the cool!
I got my hair cut. I like it! Two people have commented that it looks like Hayley from Hard Candy’s hair. She is so wonderfully great. I want to be Ellen Page!

Sales!
Urban Outfitters:
really great US online sale. sterling to euro makes it expensiivve though.
I love this jacket! It’s 24.99 sterling, which translates as €37.
To get this sent to me it would cost £8.95 or €13.
So in total it would cost €50.
I don’t want it THAT much!
This seems good value in sterling, for a coat.
£30=€44. Still good value! total= £38.94= €58.
It’s still value for money, because it’s classic cut would last for ever.
I won’t be buying though 
This dress is so cute!
Only £19.99=€30… oh.
Not so wow any more.
The fact that it’s out of stock makes me feel so much better though.
This is down from 20-something. It looks mega comfy. I’m really needing some basics, so it would be great.
It costs £4.99=€7.00. Still good value.
With p&p it’s £13.94=TWENTY ONE EURO! Wow.
Although not quite as enthusiastic, I will go on with shoes:
These are £100. Can’t afford em. Do you REALLY want to know what it’d cost me to get them shipped to me?
£108. 94… €161 The increase doesn’t seem as radical this time. Still, can’t afford them.
NEXT PLEASE!
Phhooer, nice lingerie.
Bra: £6.99, €10.00
panties: £5.99, €9.00
Both to be delivered to me: £23.93, €35.
Not TOOO bad. still, I wouldn’t pay that.
If I bought em in the shop it would be €19. That’s a saving of €16. You can buy, like 3 bra and pants set in Penneys for that. Grrr..
Topshop:
This dress is nice! £25.. €37. I wouldn’t pay THAT much for it! You can guess how much more expensive after delivery it would be!
I REALLY like this dress. Down from £60 it’s £30. For all you people who work in sterling I would say BUY IT!
OH I GIVE UP!
Sales are crap, let’s all go to ebay, or any other european country and buy cheap clothes.
Why can’t I just be happy with my hair?
After having it cut quite short numerous times, I had decided to let it grow, all long and sunkissed and natural. But my mind has conflicting ideas. It keeps telling me that I want a short, Pixie cut, reminiscent of Edie Sedgwick, or more recently, Keira Knightley’s crop. Peroxide blonde is also a wanty, but I know it won’t happen. But wasn’t Marilyn Monroe’s hair so beautiful?
Yes, I have decided to go for it.
GO FOR IT!
Anyway, I have decided to just chop it all off.
I shall post many a photo here now showing some things I want.
Tell me which you think I should get, and would suit me(not too worried about that, stupidly..!)
Although Grace hates the idea of someone wearing glasses when it is not necessary, I desperately want some!
When my younger sister needed to get glasses at the age of three, I saw a pair of thick rimmed black glasses, and wanted them so! Mother said she would buy me clear glasses to encourage little sister to wear hers. I was delighted with myself! Unfortunately for me, there was no trouble from lil sis in wearing the spectacles, so I never got my glasses. But, ever since, I have wanted some.
I lusted after thick rimmed rectangular ones, until everyone decided to get them. Now, for the last while I have been wanting big, old style grandad ones.
If I was loooaddedd, I’d love a pair of the Cutler and Gross ones featured in the Feb ‘06 “Class of 2006″ shoot, like these, worn by Irina Zender, from the Ukraine
I have a plan.
A devious, mischievous plan.
I’m not going to tell you the ins and outs of this plan, but I will tell you the basic idea.
Wait for it…
Drumroll…
I’m setting up a fanzine!
Now, in this there will be art, music, fashion and interviews with non-famous wonderful people. Grace mentioned having it as an online thing aswell, but after thinking about it I have decided that I would prefer to keep it pen-and-paper-only. I will, however, set up a myspace site and post some of the pictures here.
Grace and I went to the beach to take pictures of clothes:

I am currently listening to “Spice up Your Life”. When it was released I was only wee, and didn’t even think of ever seeing live..
NOW, though, I may be able to. Haven’t you heard? The Spice Girls are REFORMING! They released a statement on their website saying:
” Hey everybody!! We’re back!! Can you believe it!!”
Oooh I was so excited! I went to their website and-put my name down for news of tickets.
So far they have only said they will play in LA, NY, Las Vegas, Buenos Aires, London, Koln, Madrid, Cape Town, Beijing, Hong Kong and Sydney. However, They also said that they may add more dates. Dublin, anyone?
Anywhoo, if you wish to see ‘em, add yourself to the list!
