- "Yo! Tie dye girl"

"Yo! Tie dye girl" – that reminds me of The Parent Trap, i absolutely love that film, with Lindsay Lohan when she first got into acting. Me and my sister have watched that over a hundred times without a doubt! Although, we’re the most annoying people to watch it with cos I play Hallie and she plays Annie and we know all the words, we should of auditioned for the part! We’ve even got the handshake down to a tee!

...But back to the point; tie dye, it's still trending!

I love how bright it is and how there are no rules, you can buy the trend from in store, or you can put some old clothes on and go and make it yourself in the garden! You can literally use whatever colours, whatever ties and patterns, and then however it turns out, doesn’t matter!

Plus what i love the most is that every piece of tie dye is different, it’s not like buying a top from Topshop and everyone having the same one when you go to a BBQ!

DIY tie dye is copyrighted by you!

The fun doesn’t have to stop at your clothes! Yeah dip dye hair started last year and you might think it's out dated itself now, but this years set for something else... Tie dye dip dye.

- the pastel princess

The pastel shade trend is great to start wearing now, because you can work pastel jumpers with contrasting skinnies, and candy shade dresses can be teamed with thin black tights for the next few months.

Nina Ricci's Spring 2013 collection is such a sweet shade parade it could open it's own Candy Shop!

The powdery purples, icy mints and candyfloss pinks sprinkle sunlight all over the start of the summer season.

The outfits that bounce off from this pastel palette are the perfect attire for picnics in the park and daytime tea parties. You'll be 2013's version of Alice in Wonderland!

- a mouse called Minnie, a little girls obsession

In 1942, Walt Disney created a drawing, which instantly became so much more than just a drawing.
Originally a hand-drawn comic strip story, the world of Minnie and Mickey launched into something much bigger.
Soon there was television shows, films, Disney World theme parks, merchandise spilling out of stores, 'Disney on Ice' plays and tours.
As pencil met paper, the character which portrays a female mouse in her household polkadot, red and pink dress, black patent heels and hair bow, created a drawing which came to life.
Over the years the Disney characters have been children's dreams, their comfort, their entertainment, mine included...

...But, with Minnie, it's different.

The style, persona and personality created by Walt Disney doesn't just attract young generations anymore. As fashion moves on and new trends arise, old styles come back around. The Minnie Mouse creation has created something new within the fashion world, it's fun and unique image has inspired designers to platform collections.

Magazines have based many front covers, headlining articles and featured celebrities solely based on the playful cartoon character.

This is the side of fashion that truly inspires me, when the fun comes through. Fashion and style is about being different, being unique, it was never intended to be taken seriously. The best sort of style in my eyes is when you're happy with what you're wearing. Wear it because it makes you feel good, wear it because it makes you smile.

"Everyone has to get dressed in the morning, so you may as well have fun with it!"

... and now i really want to go to Disneyland! :(

- "i wish we were hippies"

the other day Han text me saying "i wish we were hippies... i wish we didn't have to wear shoes".
at first i thought she'd been drinking, but then i realised it was midday and only i did that.

but then it got me thinking more in depth, (not just about the fashion aspect for once) but what it meant to be a hippie, what the label stands for and how it differs to lifestyles these days...

... and then i realised, yeah i wish i was a hippie.
