it's not fair...

here's some more quotes as I haven't posted any in a while. enjoy (:


the feeling when i'm with you,
right there, is the exact reason
why I never give up.



i feel like you're gonna disappear.



if you don’t mean what you say, shut the fuck up



the reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade in what they want most for what they want at the moment.



i don't want to think anymore, you might find me. i hope you do.



it’s a missing emotion, a missing person.
hey love, i’m missing you. it’s more than 11:11,
it’s more than a hug goodbye. hey love, the sky's
still blue. things are great but where are you?

so close, yet so far.

So I'm a bit fed up atm, Need to sort my life out tbh! But there is only 15 days before the end of my first year at university :O I can't believe it, it has gone ridiculously fast. Talking of uni, at the moment we are doing a broadcast unit. For our final project we have to film a 3 minute item for a daytime show. To practice using the cameras and editing equipment we had to make a mini film asking people questions. This is our film we made :), I'm the new Alexa Chung, no?





At the weekend I went to a sleepover (yeah I'm really cool) and we made pizzas, check out our mad skillz.
Before...


After...


They were yummy :)


On a completely different note, I want these shoes more than life. And they don't have them anywhereee :'(


If anybody sees these in new look in a size 5, please buy them for me!

Oh yeah and I heard there's a new prime minister or some shit? dayummmm.

Sorry for the completely random post, ha, leave me feedback yea???

quote me on that!

These are a selection of quotes found on different Xanga sites and from films that I like :)

"In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with." - Juno

"I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you." - The Twilight Saga

"it was time to go home, to go home without each other.
i said "i love you", he said the same. i said "call me when you miss me",
he smiled and kissed me. i walked towards my car, and my phone rang."

"I am not lazy. but the great big huggable grizzly bear that lives inside me is, unfortunately. and when he says to sit on the sofa and watch tv, i do it. you don’t argue with a bear that size."

"style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."

general rant...

Morning! So this is basically just a general rant about my life at the moment and some thoughts about whats going on in the world. My main two stresses are my health and uni, I have had a cold for like 3 weeks now and it's making me rather miserable, but I'm determined to get rid of it in the next few days. I'm dosing up on vitamins and lotsss of water!
At Uni currently I am trying to do a piece of work that involves me interviewing somebody interesting or involved in the fashion industry and then writing a 1500 word piece. This is veryyyy difficult! I'm trying to get in contact with people and am severely running out of time. And on top of that we are being set more work that needs to be started soon, STRESSSSSSSS.

So the main item in the news at the moment is of course the volcanic ash cloud from Iceland that has grounded flights. 2 of my lecturers and many people at uni are stranded in several different places and I think people are getting aggravated now, but of course it's for everybody's safety! Also in the news is the general election, I have found myself discussing the different parties with my friends quite a lot, I think its because for a lot of us this is the first time we will vote. I'm not going to say who I'm voting for but this picture will probably give you an idea to who I'm not ;)

basildonnnnnnn, concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

The town of Basildon in Essex is receiving this hollywood-like sign to try and "promote the town as a place to do business". HA. seriously how much more tacky can Essex get? Do they seriously think that erecting a massive sign on the A127 will make people think they really wanna visit?

shh... it's a secret

stuff from the net...

As I didn't post a "postsecret" on Sunday I'm gonna post a secret along with some other random things from the internet that I think are pretty good (:






haha :)

Anticipation has a habit to set you up...

Might not be an update until Monday now because tomorrow I'm going to Sheffield for the weekend to see my boyfriend :), I'm realllyyy excited!

contextual studies :|

I have just finished a 2000 word essay for contextual studies, I feel sooo good now that it's all done! My topic was fashion photography in the 90s and I looked at Corinne Day and Nan Goldin. They both take photos that are classed as "heroin chic". Here are a couple of images that I really liked.


Nan Goldin - rise and monty on the lounge chair, nyc.


Corinne Day - Georgina, Brixton.

It's definitely worth looking at more of their work, especially Goldin. Her work is very emotive and shot like a documentary.

p.s. 3 days.

fear is the heart of love...

I saved this Postsecret to my computer agesss ago, I didn't even know it was lyrics from a song, somehow I just understood it. Now I love this song (Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark) and it means even more to me.

McQueen ♥

Outfits from Alexander McQueen's final collection were released today, 16 outfits were shown in Paris to a very lucky few; including journalists and editors.

I love the gold lacquered feathers!

May Alexander's legacy live on...

short and sweet

This is the final 3 photos that me and my friend Katarina are handing in for our Imaging unit at Uni. We styled and took the photos ourselves :)

everyday is like sunday...

Every Sunday I check http://postsecret.blogspot.com , I love everything PostSecret encompasses, it's so interesting reading about other peoples secrets that they have never told anyone and maybe even finding one that you can relate to. I have all the books that Frank Warren has released and still find myself flicking back through them, even though i've looked at them lots of times. The secrets can mean different things to you at different points in your life. I'm going to post a favourite secret every Sunday, either from the newly added ones or from some I have saved on my laptop.



I thought this was intriguing...

x ^_^ x

I love you more than...

Fashion and Robert Pattinson combined.



Came home to a surprise package from my boyfriend, containing this dress and necklace :D. love love love !


x ^_^ x

p.s. shit photo, reallyyy need to get a good quality camera.

are you essex tho?

A new programme called "Undercover Princesses" is due to start on BBC THREE, its about 3 real life princesses from Germany, India and Uganda that lived in Chelmsford, Essex undercover. LOL. It starts March 7th, and seeing as its set in my hometown I'll definitely be watching. I have no idea how they thought of this but tbh... it's genius!

I'm loving angels instead...

I apologise for the title, but it is relevant I promise. The reason its relevant is because this weekend I went to the most epic vintage sale hosted by the company "Angels". It was in a warehouse in North Wembley, London. They had everything from flowery skirts to santa suits and t-shirts to turbans. I picked up the most amazing pair of jeans, some flowery skirts, belts and a bag. It was totally worth queueing for 1 1/2 hours in the freeezing cold for and waking up at 6am. :D




Video of the queue, it was longggggg!



Me, in the queue



RUMMAGE



Amazing jeanssss, my sister found them.



Bag and selection of belts

there is a light that never goes out...

Soooo, Today I ventured out of Epsom and met my sister. We went to Brick Lane and Camden to find some good vintage shitt. I was looking for a satchel (yeah I know, I'm such a student Billy) and my sister was looking for some white lace-up boots. So naturally we came home with jewellery. Most vintage clothes are veryyy over priced now, especially in places like "Rokit" and "Beyond Retro". Oh yeah and my sister made pie and mash for dinner, was delicious!

29/01

This is my first proper post! I've had this blog since 2005 but oh myyy the embarrassing posts were deleted. Nobody wants to read my 14 year old blabbing. The BNP posts were for a Uni project and just thought I'd keep them on here. Not really sure what theme this blog will take but my interests are mainly fashion and music. Oh and ofc you'll have to read about my boring life, aha :) x ^_^ x

p.s. I bought these today! loveeeee♥
