To go or not to go...
...to university?
Most students in thier final year of high school are currently deciding on what to do with thier future. The most likely and taken route of going to university may end up getting you degree to be proud of, but are there other ways of getting good jobs?
Recently a survey completed by top employers stated that only 38% of them will base your job application on your degree, the rest saying experience is more important.
Being a 3rd year myself I feel that university, whilst teaching me some lessons, is quite pointless for those who do not already have a clue what they want to do.
More time in schools should be spent talking to students about not feeling pressured to go to university and instead looking at internships and work experience to then enable them to work out what they want to do. What I'm trying to say is that a working gap year should be incouraged more.
For me sadly after 3 years and £30,000 debt it's a little too late and job prospects look quite slim in this recession! So a rather bleak outlook is facing most students this year, 150,000 of them all getting 2:1-1st's and fighting for the remaining jobs which make university look worthwhile.
To those who are not yet chosen just remember to take time and really decide on what you want to do before making choices. University won't be going anywhere fast, promise.

London calling...
So yesterday I travelled to London for my 1st day of my last year in uni!
As it's the fashion capital of the UK there was ample street styles to observe and admire.
So here are a few trend-setting items from the high-street:
H+M- One of the best high street companies for all styles and ages. Now even stronger since they've opened thier online store.
Dorothy Perkins- Great for the students as they offer special discount days, otherwise it's 10% off all year round.
Love these trousers, so simple but so smart! Definately a great work/interview trouser.
What are you wearing today?

Autumn/ Winter 2010
There are some great collections for A/W 2010. I've souced the pictures from London fashion weeks website.
Here are my favourite designs:
Dresses
Matthew Williamson- This dress is so dreamy, it's a beautiful take on the maxi dress.
David Korma
Paul Smith- This is a beautiful classic dress which has a longevity to it, I think its a great investment.
Winter wear
Burberry Prorsum- Love these thigh-high boots! Gorgeous!
Burberry Prorsum- I'm completely in love with this whole outfit! It is stunning!
Jaeger London- Capes are a must have this season and this is a beautiful one!
Burberry Prorsum- Again, beautiful boots!
Paul Costelloe- This styled jacket is so simple yet so beautiful.
Mens wear
Men's wear for autumn has got two front runners: Paul Costelloe and Burberry Prorsum. Their collection for men is thoughtful, it's a classical styled look with modern twists which not many stylists get right.

New beginnings
So today is the start of a new take on my blog. As I have no clue on what I want to accomplish I have decided to try out various things that may take my fancy! So here goes!
Here are a few looks I have put together for Autumn. The photos are awful but enjoy!
The Jacket is by zara which I got in the sale at £10!
Festival type gear here, shoes often swapped with wellies! Depends on the english weather though! Shirt is borrowed from boyfriend!
This is one of H+M's new season cape, I fell in love and had to buy it!
I haven't got a big wardrobe but I do try and mix and match what I have got! I can't wait to actually get some money and shop!!!
Show me your Autumn looks? =D
