All Things Hated...

So a long, long time ago I wrote about All Things I Love...  Can't remember it?  You can check it out here, it's a bit more upbeat than the sequel.

I've decided to do a follow-up piece about the things I hate.  Because you know, life can be ridiculous sometimes and it just makes me mad.  

Music or Sound That Cuts Out
I can't stand it, whether its the radio going in and out of signal, or in my old house the TV used to get messed up if you were using the hoover.  I really can't cope with sound cutting in and out.  I have to mute whatever it is until it sorts its shit out and decides to work properly.

Stupid Spelling Mistakes
I cannot cope with one more Facebook status that goes along the lines of: *rant rant rant* 'and breath...'

Breath?  Breath?  What the fuck is that?  Breathe you blithering idiot.  Breathe!

Keira Knightley

You're not allowed to have that annoying voice and overact that much.  That's not okay.  Also you can't kiss Orlando Bloom AND Johnny Depp in a movie.  And then leave Johnny to die.  No.  Not okay.  No.  Shut up Keira.

People That Say Sarcasm is The Lowest Form of Wit
It's fucking hilarious.  Shut up.  

Greedy People
Oh you feel you're undervalued and underpaid?  Remind me of that 6 figure salary you get again.  That's absurd.  Let's make the whole country come to a stand-still whilst you protests your little hearts away and have a day off to perk yourselves up.  

You don't see every fucker on minimum wage doing that do you?  No, we're more than deliriously happy with our £6.31 an hour.  You crack on.

The Weird Love Everyone Has For Cheryl Cole
Or as my friend Dan calls her; "Cheryl dull as dishwater has a French surname now".  Okay so she was part of a very successful girl band.  And then she married a footballer.  Oh and then the footballer may or may not have cheated on her.  Oh, okay, because no one else has ever done that before...

Awkward.

People Who Think They're Ridiculously Special
Don't get me wrong, everyone is special in their own way.  But I can't stand people who take something that happens to anyone and everyone and makes it out to be an overly big deal.  The kind of people who won't shut up about it and feel that everyone must pander to them.  Oh its your birthday?  Do you know how many people have one of those a year?  Everyone.  Sit down and shut up.

Clothes Sizes
So what you're saying is, I'm a 14 in that shop, but a 16 in the one next door?  And the 6 shoes are far too tight but the 7s slide right off?  That seems logical.  Excuse me while I wear this bin bag for the rest of my life...

Getting Out of Bed
It's bloody comfy in there.

So those are pretty much my main pet peeves of life.  Better stop there before I even contemplate about things I hate when driving.  Why do people drive 35 on a 50mph road?  What the hell mate?!  Okay, and breathe...

All Things Heeled...

So there I am; innocently milling about on the internet, as I do rather well, when out of nowhere - I fall in love.

It's an inexplicable, illogical, unrequited kind of love but it's real love and I'm in deep. 

And whom is the object of my affection, the apple of my eye, the fire in my loins I hear you ask?

These. 

These stunning Union Jack style heels, designed by the fantastic Nicholas Kirkwood and worn by Taylor Swift during the 2013 Victoria's Secret fashion show. 

Doesn't she look fabulous?

So to help me deal with my new found obsession, I did some research. I know I'm a little late to the party as the show was in November last year but hey, no one cool ever turns up early to a party, so I guess that makes me the epitome of cool. (Just let me have this!)

The gorgeous range of shoes were designed by Nicholas Kirkwood and Sophia Webster.  Sophia has been getting a lot of hype in recent years, and quite rightly.  She also designed these beauties for her new Fall 2014 collection:

You can see more of her awesome designs on Pinterest and here.

If, like me, you missed all of the hype of the Victoria's Secret show, I have found the best articles for highlights were written by Grazia and The Guardian.

So with my new obsession in full swing, imagine how excited I was to find out that the 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be held in London!  However, after doing some research I have discovered that unless I cure a disease or release a top ten album in the next few months, I'll never have enough money to go - which I don't really see happening in my near future... Damn.

Looks like I'll just have to maintain my addiction from behind my laptop screen.  But I can tell you one thing for sure, this is one party I definitely won't be showing up late to!

All Things Miley...

I've developed a new obsession that may result in me becoming shunned from my friendship circle should they ever find out.  I'm even tempted to erase my browser history just to eliminate any possibility of being discovered.  It's bizarre, and I never thought I'd ever have this issue, but I'm currently obsessed... with Googling pictures of Miley Cyrus.

Now Miley fans may rejoice that I have joined the herd. But I assure you this isn't so. I'm not about to start reciting her discography to anyone who will listen, and I sure as hell am not prepared to watch her movie LOL ever again. However, I can't help but Google images of her on tour as I'm a little bit in love with her amazing costumes. 

How could anyone possibly not be obsessed with these?!

After a little bit of research, my obsession became self-explanatory as I discovered that her outfits were designed by fashion masterminds The Blonds.  Now, anyone who has looked through some of my past fashion work would know that I did my fair bit of research on The Blonds whilst working on my Katy Perry project. I was in love with their amazing designs five years ago and Miley has just reignited the torch I hold.

Now everyone knows that Miley is famous for (among other things) sticking her tongue out. So how perfect is this diamanté lip leotard for her?

I love the perfect form and shape, as well as how glittery it is. (Who doesn't love a bit of glitter?) And how perfect was her grand entrance on a giant tongue shaped slide?  Don't get me wrong, I'm not particularly a fan of seeing her open gob everywhere I look, but this is brilliant...

Another costume I'm obsessed with is her dollar bodysuit. Which totally reminded me of the Jean Charles De-Castelbajac dollar dress that Katy Perry wore whilst I was working on my project...

And the notes even have her face on them!!!

Mileys clearly in love with showing off in leotards. But the other one that really caught my eye was her Union Jack body that she wore whilst touring over here. Whereas in the US she embraces the American flag.

Let's face it, the Union Jack has got the classic stars and stripes beaten here...

Any fashionistas or appreciaters of awesome design and eclectic fashion should definitely check out The Blonds' work. 

And any friends of mine, don't fear - I haven't suddenly become a "Smiler". I just have a new-found appreciation for her personal stylist. Now, please excuse me whilst I ride away on my Wrecking Ball...
