Hollywood

The excitement is definitely building inside of me for Sunday, when I arrive at the airport my months of waiting for this day to arrive will finally be released, as this Essex girl, I'd never thought I would say it is jetting off to the bright lights of Hollywood. We've all imagined ourselves bent down touching a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, or strolling round a set in Universal Studios, we'll my dream has surely come true. You've done exceedingly well the media department at my school, as roughly around 30 adolescent hormonal teens including me are setting off to Hollywood (all I need to do now is pack oh dear.) One week of mammoth amounts of diner food and burgers so tall you probably need to stand up to eat it, is what awaits me.

Perhaps it comes from my years idolising the stars and the glammer of Hollywood (especially Rodeo drive) is where my excitement comes from, but this trip (even though educational- they have to say that) is definitely a dream come true of mine. When I think of school trips I refer back to long coach journeys to windy beaches and canoeing in minus temperature water (normally Cornwall) or holding hands with your partner so you don't get lost while you struggle through the dreay formulated streets of London to a museum- which is usually followed by a pack lunch on the green. Nevertheless this year has proven me wrong- I'm waiting for someone to wake me up and tell me this visard was all a dream.


Rodeo drive is one of the hot stops I'll be bumping into on my travels, sadly I don't think my teenage budget will spare that far, I highly doubt it, but one never stops someone from window shopping. I don't think my sprits can be dampened when I'm in the city of my dreams and I'm way from the gloomy grey streets of London. After a difficult few months of intense studies for school (even over Christmas) this trip couldn't come sooner. Head in books, eyes going square like my tissue box on my desk and fingers becoming frozen with the pain of writing too much on endless essays, my break from AS levels is finally in sight. Despite my mocks this week, I can't help but be excited for my week to come.

Its a blue thing



Jessica Alba sure did the colour blue justice at The Bafta Awards 2011. I've never been a massive fan of the colour blue, but I have to say she sure made me change by mind. This electric flowing marvel ticked all the trends this s/s 2011. The minimalistic jewellery is one of my favourite I have to say, worn with a beach dress that vintage necklace would still be as beautiful. I think she's definitely won the crowd this time, with this Atelier Versace floor length floating sea of blue.
