I was born to be brave...

Lady Gaga will always baffle and amaze me in equal measures. I'm never quite sure whether to think she has gone totally insane and overloaded on drugs, or whether she is truly an individual who doesn't care what other people think. Surely no one that relies on record sales and people liking her music is completely unaware of the need to please? But please she does, in her millions. While she presents herself as an out there, wacky character, her music is still poppy and catchy enough to remain mainstream and popular across most ages. Despite claims that her music/artwork/look is copied, she still has an overwhelming following and a huge influence on the media today. Designers are desperate to dress her, she has recently done her first runway show (whilst promoting her new single) and she is the star everyone wants to know about. Why? Because she is that odd entity that no one knows how to sum up. Everytime we think we can put her in a box, she breaks out of it. (Or an egg, whatever.)

Each video Gaga releases seems to top the previous one in both weirdness and creativity. The latest video... well, you can figure it out for yourself. See what you make of it:

Pretentious? Maybe. Fascinating? Definitely.

Here's a few Gaga treasures (just incase the media hasn't bombarded you enough)

Androgynous Gaga for Vogue

No one has EVER made me want to wear double denim but she's somehow making it look wearable.

I already want to know what she's going to do next...

FASHION FIX #10

My gym motivation for March:

All clothes there are from Ark. Got my eye on a few handbags and chains too but they aren't gym dependent! Clothes might motivate me, but not as much as celebs in gorgeous clothes will motivate me.

Cat Deeley

Abbey Clancy

Katy Perry

Should probably put this biscuit down then...

Springtime sunrise.

Mid february and I finally managed to get to the gym. My second visit since November. Wow. It sounds pretty bad when you actually put it in writing. So here I am feeling all envigorated (read tired) and up for blogging while I'm not snowed under with work.

The weeks up to half term drag so I've been trying to think positively and come up with little things that make me happy at the moment. It actually works!

♥ springtime sunrise - a gorgeous soft purple lilac colour slowing melting into orange.

♥ midday biscuit and a natter.

♥ not having rain ALL the time.

♥ lighter mornings and evenings. Summer isn't far!

♥ new fashions hitting the shops.

♥ surprises.

♥ getting into a bed with freshly cleaned sheets. mmm.

I'm feeling all warm and snuggly already! This page wouldn't be complete if I didn't fill it with pictures and things that make me smile. Here are a few February funsies.

Ed Westwick - cheekbones like that can't be ignored!

London Fashion Week 

The combination of Katy Perry and Bruno Mars is pretty beautiful.

STYLE CRUSH #3

She started off as a young girl singing Pon de Replay, looking like all the other pop stars out there, but over the last few years Rihanna has marked herself out as a more individual artist, fashion icon and all round superwoman. She can do no wrong in my eyes! Don't get me started on the Chris Brown incident.

There's been all sorts of controversy about her newest single, S&M, due to it being too raunchy with lots of nudity (I'm sure that's obvious from the title). Her current album LOUD is being played on my speakers on a daily basis and I have to say, I do admire the risks she takes and the beautiful clothes she gets to wear.

If you click on each picture you will be linked to one of my favourite Rihanna songs. Aren't I nice?*
*Nice but not technologically skilled. A few links work, a few don't. Will figure this out later!

 I could spend all day uploading photos but I think I should stop there. Love the red hair, the short hair, the waves, the feathers, the bright lips, giant eyelashes, the straps, the leopard print. If I was daring enough I would embrace all of those things although I think I might get some funny looks on the street.
