Got to dash!

Aldo boots (Old) H&M top, Next fake fur coat, Topshop necklace, scarf - Old. 

These are some quick snaps before I run off to start my day, by quick I mean I had 20 minutes to take the photos and upload, so if you are reading this now then I have done a pretty good job! I hate the fact that I can never really wear heals up to london because of the amount I have to run around, up and down escalators etc. As well as the fact that me and my friends have a ridiculously fast 'London march' whereby I would literally have to jog along in heels to keep up!

What do you think of the top? It is new from H&M (ordered a while ago) at first I thought it was too small as in the catalogue it was worn off one shoulder, but because of the stitch you can pull it to the size and shape you want! So i am even more pleased with it now :)

Yay its February! Pinch punch first of the month! Haha I hope that feb is good to everyone, so glad to be out of the January blues! 

Standing on the edge

Amazing new wedges via shoes by teddy, topshop leather look trousers, white primark top (burrowed from jacks mum :)) Next coat, f+f snood. Skull bag, portobello market.

Yes I am completely off my head! That is me standing, well wobbling at the top of some very dangerous rocks, yes you saw it right- in wedges!! At the time it seemed like a good idea! You will be pleased to know that this was on saturday and I am completely fine, no injuries! Oh and did i mention it was freeeezing! But you know what they say, no pain no gain! 

I had a lovely weekend, seeing my boy, getting my nails done, buying the whole of Topshop (that is how it felt anyway!) and then wearing it all out for a lovely meal in a country pub. I can not wait to show you my new buys!

Did anyone watch P.S I love you last night? Had me sniveling away!

2011 - International Year of Chemistry

 

 

Date of Issue : 17 January 2011

The  UN General Assembly declared the year 2011 to be the International Year of Chemistry (IYC). The main theme of IYC 2011 is "Chemistry - Our Life, Our Future" focused on the achievements of chemistry and its contribution to well-functioning human society. Slovakia has issued a stamp on 17 January, commemorating the International Year of Chemistry.

Issue of “International Year of Chemistry 2011” is based on the environmentally motivated idea. We are alive because of the ingenious natural chemical reaction – photosynthesis, which ensures the existence of life on earth. Its exceptional performance and waste-free process makes photosynthesis an example, which shows the direction of chemically motivated human activity.

The basis of the stamp design is made up of two important chemical compounds, water and carbon dioxide, depicted according to the calotte model, which interact in photosynthesis. Colouring of the stamp reflects dual-wise two basic stages of photosynthesis: light – in the form of sunlight and dark – in the form of blue colour symbolizing water. Sunlight and chlorophyll are the catalyst of photosynthesis, which results in oxygen and glucose, two molecules of life, having an essential role in our lives.

FDC

The green leaf appears on the first day cover (FDC), representing chlorophyll, along with formulas of entering and generated chemical compounds and completes the picture of this unique photochemical reaction. C60 fullerene is pictured on the FDC stamp. It is one of several allotropic forms of carbon. Fullerenes are of significant importance and they are used in nanotechnology, which is one of the most attractive technologies of chemistry today.

New Stamp from US…

 

Date of Issue – 27 January 2011

 

Kansas Statehood

The 150th anniversary of Kansas statehood is commemorated with the issuance of this stamp. Kansas is believed to be named after the Kansas River, which bears the name of the Kansa, one of several Native American tribes in the region prior to European settlement. Kansas became the 34th state of US on Jan. 29, 1861.

This stamp is a symbolic artistic snapshot of Kansas that encapsulates many of the state’s most prominent features: history, industry, agriculture, and pioneering ingenuity.

In the foreground stands a type of efficient windmill pioneered in America during the mid-19th century, first made of wood but later out of metal (like the one shown on this stamp) and fitted with a tail, like a weather vane, to change the direction of the wheel relative to the wind.

In the background stand five modern wind turbines that demonstrate continuity and the forward-looking nature of the modern Kansas economy. Below and behind the windmills is the Kansas landscape, with stylized bands of color implying the varying topography of the state. A golden band suggests the undulating plains of western Kansas and implying statewide prosperity in agriculture, while a green band hints at the forests and hills of eastern Kansas.
