Dog days are over.....

It is one thirty on a Wednesday afternoon and I am happy. I know I should appreciate everyday, but I'm not keen on Wednesday usually. Its the midweek and it is just a bit blah. But today? No way! I hear you ask why am I so happy? Well....

1. I got my College degree results yesterday. This signals the end of long, very long hours in the library (All those hours in the library paid off though). No more studying! It also signals the end of trying to be interested in a subject, when I actually really detest it. Strategic Management fills me with fear! Correction-filled me with fear. I never have to do it again. Bye bye Waterford Institute of Technology. It was nice knowing you, but definitely time to move on.




2. Seeing recent pictures of Florence Welsh and Anne Hathaway looking beautiful in their own pale skin also makes me happy. Being pale myself, its like as if I have something in common with them.

But the commonalities end there. I can't act (I can act up), I used to pretend sing when I was in the school choir (as in, I lip-synched without an actual record playing in the background...you get the idea though, the very scary teacher knew I was doing it.haha), this highlights I can't sing. I can't *really* dance. Failed classes in Irish Dancing, Salsa, Contemporary Dance...showed me that I can't dance. *Really*...when I have a long Island Iced Cocktail in me, I think I can actually dance. But I can't. Anyways, enough of my lackluster talents.

Don't you think Anne and Florence look beautiful pale?


Drool over her beautiful Jasmine Di Milo dress, she wore to the Glamour awards in London last night.

3. The last thing that is making me happy on this otherwise quite boring Wednesday is the fact that Mulberry are launching a high street collection. Very good news...yes? Target is the chosen store for this new range...this is causing a slight hitch in my happiness. Ireland doesn't have a Target. Can you order online from the store? I don't know.

But hopefully, seems as Mulberry is a British originated Fashion Company, they will launch somewhere in Europe. I have this fascination with Mulberry bags. They are so beautiful and luxurious. Only time will tell if they keep some of this luxury in their high street collection (even a teenchy bit).

Spring-Summer 2010 Mulberry collection. I'll have the pink leopard one, please!


So what about you? Do you feel the same about Wednesday's, as I normally do? Have a happy one!

Oh and by the way...just want to say thanks a million for all the lovely comments you have been giving me since I started the blog (not that long ago). I really, really appreciate them.:)

i pass the mulberry shop everyday walking home, its pure torture. i love going in and looking at the bags...they are gorgeous, and the window displays are always astounding

EEP! MULBERRY FOR TARGET?!!! That is so awesome! I can't wait!! Usually you can't get the pieces on the store site because they are only available in certain stores. But there is always eBay...but they mark up the prices a lot.

Woooo! I'm so excited about the Mulberry bags! Should be amazing! And furthermore, I think it's good to be pale. Why should girls always have a tan anyway? Some girls just look orange. I'm happy it's wednesday too, cause I'm seeing Florence tomorrow!

Anne does pale to perfection, but it's really difficult, one needs perfect skin to pull off pale. Lovely shots

Congratulations of your graduation!! This is such a special time for you I hope you really get a chance to savor it. Just a warning though... you'll probably be having nightmares involving Strategic Management for the next few years -- I still have Calculous haunting my sleepy time!
Love your blog!!
