Absolute Favourite - Always Wear A Helmut

Always love and adoration for a bit of Lang.
I am a huge fan of androgynous and minimalistic tailoring, and no one does it better than Helmut Lang. I get emails every week telling me about all the new dresses and signature leather skirts, and can't help but trawl through the website over and over, looking at the same items, just wishing that I would ever have $595 to spend on a jacket. Although, even if I did, I'd like to think I'd be spending it on something more worthwhile than clothes..
But, let's be honest, I probably would have a rather large shopping budget.

This is a very short post, as I am taking advantage of my new found downtime by preparing myself for my imminent trip with my boyfriend to

NEW YORK!!!

I've never been any further than the Mediterranean, so I am a whole new kind of excited. I have replaced revision with studying my NY guide book and planning a very detailed itinerary (including timetables, Google maps and various other types of visual aid).
I'd be more than grateful for some inside information...anyone have any recommendations?

Plaits 'n' Hats 'n' Plaits 'n' Hats 'n' Plaits

Another one of my quick outfit posts.

As of FRIDAY 17TH MAY I AM OFFICIALLY FREEEEEEEEEEEEE. I'll be hittin' all the trendiest bars. I'll be gettin' down with all of my famous celeb friends in da cool clubs like DSTRKT and Mahiki. I'll be roller-blading in Hyde Park, swimming in the Thames, abseilling down Big Ben. I'll be drinking red wine in bed and looking at countless interviews with Chris Hemsworth on Youtube.

Only the last one is, sadly, true.

But until then, I shall just keep learning about biosocialities and citizenship, reproduction and relatedness, and maybe EVEN a little bit of hybrids and co-production. Ooooh.

I don't know what any of that means either.

Anyway, after Friday I won't need to, and there will be no more:

recitation of the exam protocol for the bingojillionth time by invigilators on a power trip who have absolutely nothing better to do,

waking up at 6:30am,

trekking halfway across London to have an exam in an underground room where I can feel the trains rumbling beneath my feet,

requesting permission to take a leak,

freaking out that I don't know the life history of a blue whale, only to find that I don't need to know the life history of a blue whale, and what's more, never will in the entirety of my life, but now knowing the life history of a blue whale in great detail, having looked it up on Wikipedia the night before my exam,

(Females typically give birth once every two to three years at the start of the winter after a gestation period of 10 to 12 months. The calf is weaned after six months, by which time it has doubled in length. Sexual maturity is reached at about five to ten years of age. Scientists estimate that blue whales can live for at least 80 years but the longest recorded study of a single individual is 34 years.)

but above all, 

no more revising for another 9 months. It's the absolute dream.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, I'm off.

I Challenge You To A JEWEL

Here's another little peak into my jewellery collection, but this time, instead of necklaces, it's rings. These are only but a few of them but given my lack of time at the moment, I'm afraid this is as much as I can offer right now. Micro-posts are the way forward.

Number 1, 2, 3 & 4: All purchased at a little stand in Camden Market. Not the rubbish outdoors one where everyone is selling the same Union Jack t-shirts, the stables market.

Number 5: Market in Tel Aviv

Number 6: Portobello Road

Number 7: The Covered Market in Oxford

Number 8: Topshop
