Dress Destress!

Okay so next Thursday is one of the most dreaded and equally important days of my life, I find important and dreaded days always seem to go hand in hand nowerdays. I find out my long awaited GCSE results on the 24th and boy am I stressing out!

Much to the dismay of my Mother it's not actually waiting for the reults thats stressing me out, neither is it the actual finding out of the results, but the dress that I will wear to the results day party! Yes the results I get are important, and yes getting into furthur education is crucial to me but how on earth would one be expected to celebrate, ever the optimist, ones results in anything other than the perfect party dress!

Sadly for my bank account, the perfect party dress won't be perfect without the perfect heels, the perfect clutch and the perfect tan...

I've decided on the winning dress with the help of my boyfriend Drew, yet no matter how much I confess my love to him and pull the most convincing puppy dog eyes, it's my purse thats going to be feeling the strain of this buy! But just you wait Drew, your time will come!

The chosen dress, isn't it gorgeous!

The real driving force.

I have to admit, the art of writing a 'blog' has been popular for a while now and whilst the many thoughts of starting my own quickly ran through my mind, they managed to be whirled away by self doubt and self-consciousness even quicker!

Yes, I said I started my blog because I wanted to develop as a writer, but that is infact a small white lie. My blog was inspired by a school peer of mine, who writes about and doccuments her beautiful handmade garments and accessories. I was so inspired by her fearlessness to start a blog that I have finally picked up the courage to follow suit.

I can't urge you enough to check out her blog at,  http://iroirocrafts.wordpress.com/ I just know you'll be reading each inspiring post after post and be completly seduced into the world of 'blogging' as I have been!

Although both S and I have parted ways now, as we both start our own fearless adventure into new areas of education, she has definately left me with the best parting gift, and a project of my own I can now work on.

A daunting thought.

So as an aspiring journalist, I thought my best bet to get myself started was a blog.

- But what on earth do I write about?

Maybe 'blogging' isn't as easy as I initially thought, I mean, what's so hard about publically publishing your inner most thoughts to the intire world?

- Maybe I really am in over my head!

Let's face it, the intire world isn't going to be reading this blog, that's abit of an exaggeration. But I don't mind if this blog isn't even read at all, this blog is for me to learn about myself as a writer, to grow and find out more about myself and style, and most importantly to make sure I never forget the good times, because the even smallest memories are worth remembering.
