Hello there fellow fashionistas and welcome to my blog! As this is my first entry I’m going to explain my mission – and have a bit of a rant!

Thing is, I’m sick of seeing unoriginal girls flocking to Topshop  like woolly white sheep! I want to be the black sheep, the one who looks a bit different and stands out from the crowd!

I really hate seeing everyone wearing the same thing and knowing exactly where they got it and how much it cost. I’ll probably like the particular item thats causing me grief the first time I see it, but by the 25th time I’ll be ready to scream, rip it from the offending lady and burn it on the spot.

Primark is another one of my pet peeves, I’ll find an amazing bargain in there only to find everyone else wearing it the next week! They’ll never be wearing it as soon as me though, I always get there first!

“How hypocritical,” you might say, seeing as I’m sitting here writing this wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that were both purchased from Topshop itself.  But this is why I’m writing this blog, because I don’t want to look like everyone else anymore! I’m sick of spending my hard earned cash on clothes, only to end up looking like a clone.

So how do I achieve this? Well my fellow fashion fanatics I am going to ditch the high street in favour of vintage ( read second-hand.) But not the vintage shop kind of vintage. Lets face it, they’re just glorified charity shops that think they can get away with charging a bomb for smelly second-hand clothes.  No I’m going to be looking elsewhere, car boot sales, charity shops and of course the gold mine that is Ebay!

I’m also planning to have a bash at customising things I already own, I studied textiles at college so I know my way around a sewing machine. Boyes , here I come!

There’s another element to this though, I need to become original on a student budget. More often than not, I have pennies rather than pounds (Eleven and a half hours a week spent working at Asda can’t really fund a massive shopping habit) and often more important things to spend those pennies on – food for example, or even drink!

I’m going to treat this blog like a diary-not of the fourteen-year-old girl variety, you’ll find no tales of snogging boys here - and keep a record of my (hopefully) fantastic fashion finds. Feel free to give me some suggestions, I’m open to shopping anywhere, and of course, If I get it wrong, please let me know!
