Synesthesia

Synesthesia by ♪ londonlydia▲ featuring floral hair accessories

So as you may know I have a type of Synesthesia called Ordinal linguistic personification (OLP or Personification for short). Today I told my family and my dad acted like I was crazy and my sister started asking (meanly I might add) if being viscious was part of it (a result of an argument we had yesterday which was all her fault cuz she bashed my nose really hard). I dont get it if someone hit your nose aren't you allowed to get upset (i cried i didn't even blame her)? Whatever if she doesn't like the way i see things then she should shove it.

Okay thanks to this collection http://www.polyvore.com/colors_are_everywhere_filling_space/collection?id=815904
I found out I have Ordinal linguistic personification. O.L.P. is a form of synesthesia where you think up personalities for ordinal numbers, days, months or letters (its numbers for me)

Ever since I gave up my dream of becoming a car when I grew up (circa age 3 or 4) I have wanted to win an oscar. Up to age 12 I only wanted to be an actress now I'm opening my eyes up to screenplay writing, directing, and costume design. Yah someday you'll see my name in lights

New York Fun!

So a few days ago My friend, Sara, called me up to see if my twin and I wanted to go to Manhattan with her mom and her. Her mom works in 30 Rockefeller Center at the Dr. Oz show. So we went to her office and met a lot of people and went to the art department and looked at stuff they use on the show. Very Fun. I then got to look round the studios of Dr. Oz and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (I think thats the name of his show I've only watched it once). Then we went Ice Skating. Also very fun but the ice hadn't been smoothed in a while so people were falling like bombs in the london blitz (good metaphor huh!). I (with barely any training) only fell over once. So glad! Then we went to Times Square. We went into Forever 21 and got two of those photo booth pictures. Unfortunateley in all of the pix at least one of us looked weird or high or both. My friend Sara was determined to find some theatre where she saw some play. And from mucho complaints from me about the cold, we finally caught a glimpse of the theatre. ONLY for Sara look at it from across the street and then turn around and walk away. Damn You Sara! JK! Yeah then we went to The Magnolia Bakery because its supposed to be really really good. It was! I got a Barbie cupcake. sooo cute and yummy. Its good I dont live in new york or i'd be 400000 lbs heavier. After that we had to walk back to 30 Rock (LOL) to get our train tickets. After we got them we ran around trying to find Grand Central, neither Emily (my twin) nor Sara would ask for directions. I with stealth and skill walked around trying to get people to point where to go. 3 people were tourists. One couldn't even speak english. Finally I  found someone who told me it was just down the street! We ran but got distracted by Sephora. I bought some liquid eyeliner. We got into the train station and I bought a Vogue which was about a million pages long and half of it was ads. Then we got in the train, went to sara's house and watched the social network (I've watched it 3 and a half times, its gonna totally win an oscar.

Why I love Second Time Around!

Alright so there is this store in my town called Second Time Around. Second Time Around is a consignment shop with loads of designer brands and lovely vintage clothes. There are a lot of Second Time Around stores. So click here to see if there is one near you.

I went in two days ago and bought a Diane von Furstenburg Dress and a rare Dooney and Bourke Hearts Wristlet (pictures later). You want to know what was so amazingly great about that? The dress was only $35 and the bag was supposed to be $22, but the shop assistant offered to reduce the bag price down to $15, because it has been there a while. The Shop assistant was really nice too. I will totally be shopping here more.

three of my top Style Icons!

1. Emma Watson

Emma Watson, the Brit Fashionista and Harry Potter Actress. I love her style so much. Its soo londoner-chic.

2. Audrey Hepburn

Where would we be without Audrey? This lovely lady (in my opinion) is the chic-ist, most elegant person ever.

3.  Kelly Osbourne

With her doll-like body and style, this go-go girl is totally a fresh breath from the androgynous bodies of most stylish women these days.

How to live in London

How to live in London by ♪ londonlydia▲ featuring a dome umbrella

As you may or may not know I was born and partly raised in London so here are some tips if you plan to visit/live there:

1. keep an Umbrella in your handbag
Preferably a one that you can fold up really small and has a bright pattern. You never know when its gonna rain.

2. Get an Oyster Card
It gets pretty annoying having to keep dishing out money to pay for tickets

3. Don't own a car
Unless you really need one of course.The entire time I lived in London I never owned a car. It gets a bit in the way and its much easier to use public transportation.

4. Don't imitate people's accents
This one really annoyed me. I would be walking home from school and talking to my friends when a random tourist (usually american) would come up to us and (badly) try to do an english accent. It was offensive (because I would think I sounded like that) and creepy. Now if you know this person really well the circumstances may change, but don't just run around trying to copy ppl's accents.

5. Learn our Culture and don't insult us
We don't all love tea (though I do), hold our pinkies up, have bad teeth, are pale, know the queen, and come from old money. Watch some TV and talk around with locals.

6. Learn your way around the underground
my personal fave way to travel around london

7. Visit the Museum's
A lot of them are free in South Kensington (where I used to live)

8. Watch Doctor Who
Though not everyone watches it. It is a great show and a very important part of Brit culture.

9. Check out London Fashion
We Londoners are very chic. Check out blogs like these to see street style http://stylescout.blogspot.com/
http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/

10. Check out the sights
London Eye (never been on it but it sounds fun), Big Ben, Parliament, Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, yada, yada, yada

11. Go to the parks
they're really pretty. My fave is Hyde Park.

12. Go to the Jam
its a restaurant on 289a Kings Road, London, SW3 5EW. They have really cool seating. You can either climb up the ladder to an upper table or stay on the floor on a lower table. The bathrooms are cool too.
