the difference between me and you is...
...that it's effing hot over here and you guys (I mean the foreign, not Nigerian people) are enjoying wonderful spring weather.
*sigh* Meteorologists' have predicted that this heat wave is going to last for... an indefinite amount of time. I have exams you know, nature! *shakes fist up at sky*
Anywho, diverting from my ranting, today I am focusing on the different styles of different people. Nearly all fashionistas have a blog these days (am I right?) and the majority is personal style (again, right!) But everyone has a unique way of using their camera to capture their own fashion picture. For example, The Sartorialist takes his pictures sort of randomly... in my opinion, the best way to get inspiration. Oh, btw, song of the post is ~ Is Anybody Out There ~ K'Naan ft. Nelly Furtado. I love this song and Nelly. I missed you!
Moving on, it is spring and guess what is in... pastels! Yay! Pale versions of bright colours- coral blues, sun yellows, and pale denims. Love, love, love spring! Hey, that rhymed! I guess I still got the poet thing going on. Spring reminds me of ice-cream- vanillas, mint green, strawberry and my personal favourite,
Below are some snagged pics of bloggers dressed in spring finery. Enjoy!
Goodbye readers... until next time...wtfudge?
I have to go watch Ugly Betty... I mean Al-Jazeera (yeah right. It's way too depressing.I prefer CNN or summat... don't you?). Buh-bye now.

 |
| Pretty flowers and booties ... what spring is all about! |
 |
| Luvin' the skirt. Reminds me of some little Italian town where the sun is always shining. |
 |
| Coral green and oranges, perfect for ice-cream... and spring! Yay! |
 |
| This up and coming actress has the spring thing down to a tee. She's wearing Miu Miu (ah... my favourite. Well, one of my favs.) and she's rockin' it! |
 |
| This has absolutely no relevance to spring... I think... but the picture is so cute with the little Coke cans and everything! |
 |
| She's got her spring dress out... can anyone say jealous? |
 |
| The pattern and colour of the dress contrast well with the background... so spring-y too. |
 |
| Floral skirt, bright shoes... girl you got it going on! |
 |
| Pastels and dark blue... perfect. Love the nails too. |
 |
| Spunky spring style and mint green... nothing wrong here. |
 |
| How would you accessorize this? Tell me your answer in your comments and I you will win the prize of having your pic featured on my blog. Yay! I can't do better'n that sweets. |

quote-tastic!
...if ya know what I mean?
Okay, you don't. Recently, I've been checking out different quotes by the current (and yes, I do say current. We're coming for you Joan Rivers! Arrrgh!) leaders of the fashion industry and I've discovered that I fancy Karl Lagerfeld's wise (or maybe not wise) sayings. Here are some of my absolute favourites.
I love this guy! Moving on... today is a day of... I dunno, happiness and sunshine and rainbows? I lvoe Saturdays- sometimes. I have to go in to school because I have these lessons, but most of my friends are there and the teachers are mostly cool and I seem to use the word most frequently don't I?
I've been checking out new blogs and lemme tell ya... talent is not so uncommon... if you know where to look for it. Amazing style bloggers- like moi! I think... anyhoo... this is one link...

[The secret to modeling is] not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. That’s why the girls who were famous in the '90s can still work for advertising. People know their faces. The little blonde Russian, Sasha [Pivovarova], has a face people can remember instantly, but for other models today, people think, "Is she this one or that one?" It's very difficult, but, you see, in fact there is no advice, because all circumstances are very different. It depends on what you are ready to give, the kind of life you bring, what may be exciting or disappointing...You can’t accuse anyone of not doing enough to help you, because, besides yourself, there’s nothing anyone can do. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new. But it’s the most––[hits hand on table]––unjust––[hits hand on table] thing in the world.
Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests.
Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn't.
Personality begins where comparison ends.
The iPod is genius. I have 300

Me, Myself and Fashion
As you all can see, I have changed the name of my blog to- thepurpleballet.
The inspiration came out of nowhere. I have all these ballet pictures in purple and it just struck me-like a stroke does. Only this kind was of sheer genius.
'Allo, 'Allo, readers, how're we all doin' this fine morn'? It's morn' for me over here. I'm eatin' delish toast with chocolate spread and not much dignity.
The songs that are in my head right now are:
Set Fire To The Rain- Adele
I Do Not Hook Up- Kelly Clarkson
What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)- Kelly Clarkson (I'm at a Kelly phase)
Safe and Sound- Taylor Swift
Wild Ones- Flo Rida ft. Sia
Pat of Me- Katy Perry
All these songs are my current anthems. Love 'em. I especially love Sia.
So, the talent show (in my school) just like New York Fashion Week has come and gone. The tension was high and all (you'll see the pictures soon) and the winners were well chosen. We had a fashion elite over to judge- Kiki Kamanu- lovely woman. Big fan, baby! Since I can't do much this morning, I'll just put on pics of my put-together outfits. But this is not a PERSONAL STYLE blog. It's fashion and art and music and dance. Speaking of which, I won the music comp! Yay!!!
Btw, has anyone checked out the lovely Burberry models in February Vogue and on elluk.com. They are so adorable with their freckles and stuff. In other new news, PRADA has a new phone. Cool hunh? (internally freaking out.) I'm sincerely not that big a fan (their pieces are for the older generation, not us, the cool (no offence, people!) youngsters who find a way to twist fashion into summat fun. I'm working on this scrapbook with images form my February VOGUE. So far, it's insane! I'll update y'all on the current styles in fashion later on my post in the afternoon after school (TMI?), although in my opinion, why anyone would want to spend an hour finding out trends when they can just street it a little in a few minutes confuses me...]
So, 'ere is a picture of me in my lufly attire... I'm a little on the weird side. People are always asking me why I put together weird stuff sometimes, so please have a look at what is weird in these and inform me. Thank you
This is all I had time for, sorry. Peace out and live right!

| This is moi, chic with skirt from Willi Smith and jacket snagged off my dear sweet auntie, a brown belt from an auntie, heels from maripe (what is that?) and orange top from H&M. The lighting's not ah-mazing, but it's chill... right? |
 |
| Again, the *awesome* me! Lace shirt from ERENA collection, bought by my mother and cutoff jeans, that I cut myself. I got the jeans from some girly punk store and they didn't fit properly, so... |
