Ok. This is kind of a post all about me. But It's my blog, right?
ANYWAY.
1. IMPORTANT NEWS! The most EXCITING thing to happen to me for a while happened on Tuesday. Monday night I sat up late to write a London Fashion Week report on Erdem (who else? LOVELOVELOVE) for Grazia's writer competition... and on Tuesday I got the email saying I'd won. !!1! I was in the library with my best uni friends Harry and Georgie when I read the email and literally squealed. Sorry, librarians!
YOU CAN READ MY ARTICLE HERE (Capital letters necessary.)
See that picture at the bottom in the middle column? THAT'S MY NAME, THAT IS. On the front page of Grazia! (I'm still completely buzzing about this, you might be able to tell.)
2. And this is what I was wearing when I found out. Harry and I went to the Royal Festival Hall for a BBC World Book Club radio session with John Boyne, who wrote The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. It was fun! (And then we kind of accidentally went out in Soho and got drunk. Whoops.)
WEDNESDAY
Ancient grey lace dress // Urban Outfitters
Grey crop top (tied at the back) // American Apparel
Key necklace // Topshop
Heart tights // Topshop, but a present from my darling friend Celia!
Suede fringe boots // ASOS
Bangle watch // ASOS
Thanks for taking the pictures, Harry!
3. FINAL REMINDER FOR MY COMPETITION! If you want to come to London Fashion Weekend with me this Saturday and Tweet for free using the new HTC Hero all about our adventures there, you need to tweet me a picture @wolfwhistle showing 'the best things in life are free' and include the tag #freetwitteron3.
I've had some great entries so far -- the world's cutest puppies, husbands, beautiful snowflakes and a drawn-on mustache! -- but I'd love some more entries. I know this has been really last minute, but let's make a final effort, yeah? Yeah!
DEADLINE IS MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. I'll announce the winner tomorrow at midday!
(Makes me LOL using that banner. Always feel slightly weird when it's got my face on it!)
I screen-printed your name on grazia too! Gonna keep it forever, cause when you're well famous it'll be like 'aw remember when amy wrote that article for grazia' :)
Grey and pink are yummy on you. x

yesss i totally looked at grazia first thing in the morning when you told me about it! so exciting. i always wanted those topshop tights but can never warrant buying them because i am a ladder magnet.
also, i read on twitter you are looking for cheap chain, best place is fabric land. i go there all the time, but i don't live in london obvz. maybe look on their website, might be one nearby! xxxxxx

Eleanor: Aww, thanks lady! Maybe one day I'll be writing for them all the time, huh?
Hayley: I think they'll look cute when they're laddered, though! I do love a ladder. Thanks for the chain comment. Gonna try and hit up Homebase, haha!

It is well if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously. and if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor.
