Okay, so I have myself a little new school year resolution. I'm going to not be so all over the gaff, that way I won't stress as much. The first day of school was Thursday, and from that time since I have no complaints. Only one: the chips from the cafeteria are not so great anymore. They used to be so good too.I mean their not goppin' or anything but they're definitely not great. Now I ask you this are you an ickle bit confused mate? Well you should be-I just used some brit. slang. I love english accents, so I decided to investigate how the british talk (what their slang is).Here's some words that are way brilliant!
brilliant=awesome
all over the gaff=unorganized
chips=french fries
gopin'=gross
ickle=small/tiny
mate=used to address a friend
all this is courtesy of http://mtmt.essortment.com/britishslangw_rcnt.htm, and you can check it out to look at more words!
Now here's someone with an accent...an actress who is the REAL DEAL.Keira Knightley who stars in "Atonement"-and I am head over heels for the costumes and music. I have to say the soundtrack just blows my mind-its so moving! As for the costumes...I think the tailoring is rather brilliant (although the pics I provided don't really show it as much as I'd like). The pics do show color though! Keira's character has quite an inspiring wardrobe. What do you guys think?

Love the pictures, love Keira, I must see that movie!
yay! im glad your back!
yea i wish i had a british accent too :P
and i cant wait to see atonement - ive heard its amazing and it has been recieving lots of oscar buzz
Are you kidding? I love the pics and the clothes. I'm a Keira Knightly fan. I do hope however, that her being that skinny was part of her role in her upcoming movie (lol).
Welcome Back!
i need to go and see atonment
i love the green dress keira wore
and she looks stunning in the hat in your first pic
I really want to see that movie and I'm so glad you;re blogging again
Haha your post made me laugh :D It's funny reading all those words when you're English yourself!
but teenagers never say 'all over the gaff' unless they're real Londoners like the people on Eastenders. And I've never heard gopin', and ickle isn't really used for small, unless you're talking in baby talk! Lol just thought i'd let you know, inacse you came here and said something like 'I love that ickle Chloe bag, but the shoes are gopin' and I'm all over the gaff'. =D
Keira looks amazing in that era! Love the pictures.

awww thanks for the mention, I'm glad I could help you out :)
and I love all of keira's looks, the era was just too gorgeous!
I think it looks really inspiring, fashion wise and otherwise, can't wait to see it!!!! Kiera has never looked lovelier.
WOW, I am in love with the vintage hair styles - gorgeous!
Glad you are back.
uhhh, I hate to break it to you, but thats not really how the british talk! ha ha..
Thats just how Dick Van Dyke as the chimneysweep spoke! (though we do use chips, mate and brilliant)
if you really want to learn some brit slang google "chav" "mint" "safe" and "WAG"...
but our slang words aren't very pretty sounding!
I can't wait to see Atonement though, it's had such great reviews and the wardrobre looks amazing!
Cool Blog.
S xx
Thanks for your support! Great blog! I love Keira Knightley! =)

i have been living in london since 2003 and still haven't pick up a lot of the english accent or the slang! ;P
Keira is gorgeous.. not when she's pouting though! love her new chanel ad too. xx

I know what you mean about it feeling like a job, I've felt like that at times but other times I get really excited to post, it comes and goes depending on whats going on in the fashion industry.
Glad to have you back. I totally know what you mean with the blog burden. I'm getting tired of keeping up with mine ): Anyway, I'd love to switch links with you, email me or just comment back. I absolutely adore the header!
you've made me anticipate 'atonement' so much now!! i want to watch it!! =D
Theres something about that 3rd to last pic,its probably a robe,but I would wear it as a dress!
