Fame is the thirst of youth.
Lord Byron

Over the coming months, I’m going to share with you my likes and dislikes, my obsessions, my dreams, my fantasy. But first a little bit about me. So the name’s Linzi. I’m from Kirkcaldy (exotic I know) and currently in fifth year of high school, which means I’m 16. I’m OBSESSED with fashion and will work for Elle one day, if I don’t start up my own magazine first. I love high-end fashion designers such as Celine, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang and, of course, the amazing much-mourned Alexander McQueen.

Sadly I would have to go hungry and busk every day to be the new Carrie Bradshaw so instead I make do with Topshop, Urban Outfitters, H&M and the internet.

I have five major aspirations in life: to graduate from university; to work in fashion; to get married (hopefully to some fabulous rockstar and have a wonderful wedding like Kate Moss. However marrying Prince Harry and giving everyone a day off also seems pretty appealing.); to have three children (Brody, Sophia and Lily,) and to open a tearoom. Jasmine, Green or Earl Grey, in a little china tea cup = magnifique.

I love music, a bit of 60s Rock n’ Roll or 90s Britpop is a heart winner. Good movies such as An Education, A Single Man and, inevitably, Titanic (Leonardo DiCaprio was my first crush, so dreamy!) I love a good book and am working my way through that ‘100 best reads’ or whatever list you’re meant to read before you die. Truman Capote, Oscar Wilde and, ok so maybe perhaps not as ‘grown-up’, Roald Dahl (well, who can’t love Matilda?) are among my favourites.

There have been a few people that I have looked up to and admired like Kate Moss, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney etc. I have however, had a few idols who have never changed;
David Attenborough – I grew up with hearing him talk about strange and beautiful animals and travelling to exotic places.
J.K. Rowling – I owe my childhood to this woman. You have no idea how excited I got for each book and movie release and now that it’s sadly all over I feel like a part of me is gone and I’m all grown up.

Not much else to say really other than enjoy reading and visit regularly.
