December-ish

The coca-cola advert has been aired, there was a frost this morning, Christmas songs are playing on the radio, Christmas adverts are on and Ebay have started a countdown. Yep, Christmas is well and truly on it's way.

Although it is not yet December (Once bonfire night is over, November seems to be overlooked) it is beginning to feel like we're in the twelfth month. In ode to the impending and much anticipated month I thought we could take a look through some December vogue covers. Obviously I can't include them all but I've put in a fair few. Enjoy.

Laugh at the little things

[Click to Enlarge. Not my photos, all from google. Credit to whoever and all who are due it]

I had to go to the orthadontist this week and while we were waiting an extra hour for my appointment (we got stuck in traffic, blah blah blah) we had a look around some of the shops.

We went in to card factory (I think it was that?) and found some notebooks/pens/pencils/cards/bookmarks/bags by Waldo Pancake, they have little sayings on them.. but not the type you would expect when you hear 'little sayings'. I found them hilarious to say the least. I embarrassed myself a great deal when we went to pay because I was still laughing at them. The shop assistant didn't share my amusement. Not even a little bit.

Some of the little sayings:

On the notebooks:

- If found do not publish.

- I could have been a novel (brought this for my brother, he wants to be a writer)

- Caution: Contents might be boring.

- Blank Inside.

- 1970's style laptop.

- Are we nearly there yet. (This is a travel journal)

The particular saying that made me laugh so very very much?

'In the washing machine no one can hear you scream'

I'm not sure why either. But I don't care, it made my day.

Please check them out, they'll make you laugh. And laughing is good.

I've linked you straight to the Waldo Pancake stuff.

Do you love them too?

The personalised note was adorable too! Love it!

Listening To This Week

Basically, I'm going to do one post a week about some of the songs I've been listening to recently. Some weeks I'll end up listing about a zillion songs and then other weeks it will be one.

This week I've chosen two songs that I've literally had on repeat. Not only are the songs amazing and the videos are good as well, but most importantly the messages the songs give are so meaningful and inspirational.

1. Pink - Raise Your Glass

2. Katy Perry - Firework

**Videos obviously from youtube but credit to whoever uploaded them**

I hope they work! One exam down, Three to go!

What's so bad about the middle?

Hello Beauts,

Middle Partings.

They're risky business, there's no denying it.

But recently, I've been pondering the spectacle that is the middle parting.

I sported this particular parting myself for about three or four years, after growing out my block fringe (My hair history is not a good one). Several of my friends did aswell, we're often left questioning why our parents allowed us to leave the house on a daily basis with such a do.

It seems, to me anyway, that only celebs can execute the middle parting with style. Olivia Palermo is a good example of such a person.

From BeautyNow via google

Of course, I am being melodramatic once again. The middle parting is not solely left for the ones gracing the red carpet, but it does appear that a significant amount seem to opt for the style and manage to pull it off.

I have now moved onto a side parting. I don't have a side or sweep fringe or any type of fringe for that matter, simply because it would not suit my face shape. I can't think of one of my friends that does not have a side/sweep fringe (they still look lovely though!). This is another reason I have chosen not to opt for the fringe look, the idea of us all having the same style makes me sad. On occasion, I wish I would suit a fringe of some sort because I'm left solely with the all-hair-up ponytail in p.e, which does not always look amazing, as i'm sure you can imagine.

None of us are still with our middle partings, which is definitely a good thing. Nowadays we put our hair into middle partings to amuse each other when a lesson is dragging on or someone needs cheering up. If the middle parting fails to get a laugh (this is rarely the case) we whack out the pineapple look.

Opinions/thoughts?

Have a good weekend!

p.s. Exams aren't here yet but since it's Friday I thought I could sneak in a cheeky post.

Note. :)

Evening All :)

There is going to be a significant lack in posts for a while now until some exams I have coming up are over. I have two science exams and two english exams (english are the big ones) and I have done a scarily small amount of revision for science (and I don't want to end up re-sitting). So the focus has gotta be on the exams.

Four exams in four days next week. eugh.

I also have the orthadontist. I have been going since year 6 (now year 11) and still haven't had braces. Yes, I still have two baby teeth. You wouldn't believe the amount of 'awwwwwwwh's that revieves at school when people find out ;)

Also, I don't have a camera at the moment, so photos of my recent purchases will have to wait for a while, sad sad times.

Hope your all well :)
