Grrr….

Anyway instead i decide to write in here as it a lot more fun. How was your Christmas? Mine, was fun. The week leading up to Christmas i was working overtime at Waitrose to get some extra cash, kinda glad all my overtime is over, it can get a little repeated. For Christmas my boyfriend brought me Shoes and boots, got all the usual girlie things, i might try and them on here.

So this is the first post on 2010. I suppose i better write my ten promise of the year:

  1. Be more healthy and exercise more.
  2. Slim down to a permanent UK dress size 10.
  3. Don’t be such a shopaholic and wasteful of money.
  4. Try and save money rather than spend it.
  5. Do something with my hair – it just boring and horrible.
  6. Watch more Arty/foreign film.
  7. Read more Arty books
  8. Listen to more indie bands/ go to a festival
  9. Think before i speak -  not to get so wound-up.
  10. Sort out my wardrobe.

There you have it, it be interesting to read this in 12 month and if i achieved anything.

I wrote about denim.

Denim is the uniform of rock stars and cowboys, everyday on the high street we see ordinary peoples wearing denim jeans. It was in 1967 an American Fabric writer declared “Denim is one of the world’s oldest fabrics, yet it remains eternally young.”
The origin of the name itself is hidden in mystery as scholar to this day cannot agree on the original name. It was in the 19th century during the gold rush, miners wanted fabric materials that wouldn’t tear easily and sustained underground condition, and in 1853 Leob Strauss started a business supplying clothes Leob eventually changed his name to Levi. The material of denim is a rugged cotton textile that the weft passes under two or more warp fibres, this method produced the diagonal ribbing effect which is seen on the reverse of the fabrics, it distinguish the denim from the cotton duck. Designers such a Levi, Calvin Klein and Diesels design denim jeans to be practical, comfortable and universal for all ages. It was in the 90s that denim fashion was giving the grungy Brit pop look popular with bands such Nirvana and Oasis and would be worn baggy and very loose. Now in the Noughties denim jeans are cut to fit the figure and to be more tight-fitting.
