porcelain cream tea: November 2008

hardly memoirs, but for the inquisitive souls, here is a part of my life rolled out infront of you all.

What is your idea of a “perfect day?” to wake up in my perfect bedroom, with vintage birdcages and a full tea set laid on a beautiful 1920's table, with fancy doyley's and flowers in a vase. To then eat heart shaped chocolate pancakes and sip earl grey, in a petticoat and lace gloves. Almost like a alice in wonderland environment. Then to go vintage shopping in vintage shops and charity shops, the best in the world, and stop off to meet friends for afternoon tea, for scones and coffee with a sly glug of brandy. Then top off a day with a night out with the boy, to eat mexican and watch reruns of kenan and kel and sabrina the teenage witch.

Do you have any favorite television shows? As mentioned before, kenan and kel and sabrina just bring me back to my childhood, besides being incredibly witty for being a childrens program. I also have a rather large soft spot for The Mighty Boosh and Peep show. I love old programs, shitty ones like Men Behaving Badly and Blackadder. truly tickles my funny bone.

What’s your favorite place in the whole world? other country wise, i adore Portugal. it is so old worldy, if you can understand what i mean. Its so traditional and beautiful, the buildings and the weather, its just truly exquisite. I would really love to go to Paris one day, that i my next goal. Within my own country, of what i saw, London was incredible, and i really love the countryside. i always used to go to the lake district as a child, and with my school, so i hold amazing memories within those hills.

You at 35: with my own vintage shop selling some of the best items in the land. To live with a husband or partner, organising events e.g tea parties and parties at the shop and be able to travel and maybe a kid or 2?

How do you manage your wardrobe & your budget? I don't basically, i use every penny i get on clothes in some way, i even save up dinner money and starve to death everyday just for a few extra quid. the reason why im not blogging very often is because im working long hours everynight, just to fund the habit. that is dedication.

What are the items you just have to splurge on? shoes. If i have fallen for them, i have to have them, no matter what. My most expensive pair are £80

what advice do you have for me so people can see my inner stylista? Its all about finding yourself and knowing what type of person you want to be moulded into. Listen to your heart and be creative. Don't let anyone tell you not to wear something because fashion should be individual, not what people tell you SHOULD wear, it is so closed minded. You should have a picture of a person with amazing fashion sense, and make that person you, don't do things in halves, if you want to achieve this, don't hold back, and you will get your rewards.

With the year coming to an end, if you were to write your own autobiography what would this chapter be called and why? This chapter would be called "and it continues" because i know that there is so much to come to me, i am yet to reach my full potential. i have the goals, i just need to perform them.

What do you do apart from your blog? I am at college a lot of the time, and working, so i do not get a lot of time to myself, on top of all that, lots of homework, but the only reason i am putting my personal life on hold a little, is because i know that if i work hard know, in 5 years time i will be able to write this again and say that i am beyond fulfilled. i still have time for some ebay shopping and friends. especially with christmas and new year coming up, i will be doing things like ice skating and watching christmas films with the family, and im really looking forward to it.

What’s your favorite kind of animal? for comical factor, i love the idea of badgers, but really, i have such a soft spot for cats. I used to have a cat who was almost like a best friend, i know that sounds pathetic, but when my parents are working and im alone, he was my only company. we only lost him a month ago to the day, and it was really hard to cope with.
