цирк коллежа


As I sit here in my sisters incredibly stylish yet comfy onesie and drinking the left over Christmas Baileys, I'm starting to realise there is only three days left of twenty ten.
Globally its been an exciting year with two public shootings, a hostel takeover made by pirates, our very own Prince becoming engaged and of course Robbie Williams returning to Take That.
Now before I steal any more of The Sun's previous headlines. This post is about my very personal and very fashionable realisation.
I realised over the last three months I have taken my first baby steps into my career in fashion.
Now the story on my lips or however my finger tips is not my personal beginning to success, nevertheless it is the dramatic change in lifestyle since the day I opened my exam results.

6 months ago my sentence at Secondary School was up and I was a free woman.
After a incredibly long summer break I was ready to start my year in Art and Design at Southend College.
Now for people who live in Essex you are probably question why I have referred Southend-on-Sea to something as exotic as цирк коллежа or in English The College Circus.
My brother would answer this easily, his theory is that the further you walk down Southend High-street the more you will see the circus freaks appear from the shadows. Sorry James this post is not a dig at the citizens of Southend but however a praise to the students of the local college.

To me each day at college I imagined it would feel like witnessing the cirque du soleil.

For me being taken out of a Nazi uniform styled environment and placed into almost a revolution of style is like I can finally Breathe again.
With so many colours, patterns and fabric and not just in the fashion department, but all over the college.
From people dressed in the Sunday best to people who have literally rolled out of bed.

Even in my new friends I can feel my mind opening up to the possibilities that fashion can give you.

Take my friend Ryan to me he is like a Ring Leader, our styles are from two different worlds but somehow my love for vintage and his crave for designer and his California ways have made a great combination aka the High-Street bargains.

My friend Dom a class clown but a legend in himself I call his style 'the Dom' because which is a skater style mixed with his personally accessories.

My new girl friends at college have such different style and walk through college so gracious and fluent in their lovely outfits like Russian acrobats.

The different clothing college is like my very own parade and I thank who has ever gave me this chance to witness this.

Spread your wings and Style.
