I haven't blogged in ages and I'm not going to write why because it isn't anything interesting. It's just the usual that little things in life get in the way. I love blogging but like most of us i think It's something I do for enjoyment and on the side of everything else in life. School should be prioritised, even though episodes of Brit Cops: Law and Disorder sometimes come on top (I'm watching it right now, one of the police officers is quite very pretty).

Even though I haven't actually been blogging lately, I have been thinking about my blog a lot and what I want to put on this blog. I want to 'branch out' as it were. I absolutely love reading posts on beauty and fashion, that's why I began blogging but now I need to start thinking about what I want to do in the future, I want to put some more 'wordy' posts together to practice, if you will. I'm still going to write the usual types of posts as well though. 

I like to write in blocks. I think I get more done when I just sit down and blast out several posts at one time. I haven't had chance to do that lately, however I've mentally set aside Sunday night to sit and write. We'll see how that goes. 

Right now I'm sat on the island of my bed amid the sea of mess that is literally my floor. I;m under my cofers with a bottle of orange juice and FYI I've moved onto Russell Howards Good News Extra. I'm all set. 

I hope you're wonderful

What I Wore

Cardigan - eBay

Top - New Look (old)

Skirt - Primark (old)

Belt - H&M 

Tights - Tesco

Awkward Pose - My own

I'm literally the mots awkward person in photos, blah! I wanted to take another one because I'm not a fan of how 'look right at the floor' I am but my camera died, always the best timing.

I really want to do more outfit posts but I struggle with my camera and angles and where to do it and all, I need to get myself a tripod for it I think, any suggestions? I also need to conjure up some extra time in the mornings before school so I can actually take them because to be honest by the time I get back home I look like some sort of wreck and no one wants to see that. Just fyi I didn't keep my hair like this (strands flying everywhere) for school but as I said, my camera died before I could take any with my hair down.

I adore this cardigan, it makes an appearance at least once a week for school if not more. It's a brighter colour in real life, a reddy wine colour.  This skirt is one of my favourites as well but I'm always a bit hesitant to wear it because it's a little short but as long as I remain vertical the dignity stays intact.

So I hope I'll get to do more outfit posts in the future once I've figured out the logistics. Any tips on how to look a little less awk?

p.s. I've finally succumbed and switched to the new blogger and it just took me a fair few minutes to find the publish button!

H&M - You're doing it right.

With this beautiful weather (apparently it's not going to last next week where I am, boo!) I cannot stop myself from looking for summery clothes. Almost every girl in my year today wore a skirt or a dress today. However, I am trying to save my money for just general things in life that are going to be expensive that are coming up soon like driving lessons and university and everything else. This has caused a little bit of a problem because at the moment by current total cost of my H&M basket is £107.93 (I just removed a £2.99 skirt in the hope of bringing it down, who do I think i am?). Now obviously, I am not going to spend all this money that I don't have but that won't stop me lusting after it. 

£29.99

£14.99

£12.99

£19.99

£7.99

The H&M Website

I don't know if you will have noticed but there is a reoccurring pattern here, literally a pattern. I don't really know what to call the pattern, does anyone know? But I absolutely love it. They also do a £2.99 shirt in this pattern on the website but it's only in a size eight so if that's you, go fast people!  

I am going to have to go and painstakingly clear my basket on the H&M website but I don't think I can bring myself to removing the £7.99 patterned skirt. It's too beautiful. 

What do you think of the pieces I have chosen from the H&M website? Are you fishing out your summer clothes?

Scrapbook 02

- a peak of a new post i need to get around to writing - the cake(s) we made for one of my friends birthdays -  first lot of AS January module grades back - Tesco face wipes, love the tagline - The medals we put in the party bags of our friends surprise party (child themed) - best song. evarrrr. - Rizzle Kicks ticket - New fave film. FYI Josh Duhamel = v. Hottttt. - The sun creeping in - the hamster(?) on the front of my cereal - my english lit life right now - Had a cheeky magnum today -

The weather is suddenly so beautiful and lovely. I was planning on completely tidying/clearing out my room tonight and starting on my revision from the rest of my AS exams in may but I don't think I can waste this weather! 

It's getting to that time of the year when all our coursework deadlines are popping up and so everything is a little manic but I'm feeling positive that I'll get it all done. I've spent all but one free in my textiles room making sure I finish in time, I never learn! They're also beginning to focus on university for our year at school now. It's so scary and I have absolutely no clue what career I want to do/where I want to go to uni/if I even want to go to uni! I'm fairly sure I will go to uni I just don't know if I'll take a year out to work and save money first. I have so many careers/jobs I'm interested in and they spread over completely different fields so It's coming to the time when I've actually got to make some serious decisions soon. 

What with the first official day of spring coming and going, everyone is starting to plan the summer and get excited. My friends and I don't have any major plans together yet for this year but we keep throwing in ideas of little things we can do. We're not doing any festivals this year or a holiday together, we're saving all that for next year as it's our last year all together. Sob! 

Are you enjoying this new weather?

Fearne Cotton: Style Icon

I absolutely adore Fearne Cotton. I basically want to be her and have her career/life. She has been on  my screen for as long as I can actually remember, anyone of the age that remembers the good ol' days of smile? Fearne and Reggie for evz. 

Over the last several years Fearne's style has evolved and she has now secured herself a place in the UK style icon book. Now, you may have noticed I said 'over the last several years'. This, my friends, was a deliberate use of words, because Miss Cotton has not always dressed completely perfectly. See below.

 

 

 Do we remember these days people? DO WE REMEMBER THEM?! 

So young and naive perhaps? Who cares anyway. Because in present day and the 'several years' previously I keep harping on about, Fearne has developed her own amazing style.

Do you love her style as much as I do?

p.s. None of these images are my own, I have linked to the website where I found the image, this is not necessarily the original source. Also, I'm aware the photos aren't all in line/same size etc but if I mess around with my html and all that any more there may be tears.

I made this cake with my dad on Saturday as an early Mothers Day present for my Mum (obvs) as I wouldn't have had time on Sunday because I had work.

I love my mum.

life is wonderful

This is a post about the happy and good and nice things in life. I think it's easy to forget about these things and take them for granted so this is a reminder that the world is mostly a good place. I'm hoping to do several of these posts and they may include pictures, quotes, videos, songs or anything else. I just want anyone who reads this to feel a little better about everything when they've finished.

I dare you not to find this funny. Horrible bosses is such a funny film.

The northern lights fascinate me, so so beautiful and natural.

You'll look silly if you dance, and silly if you don't. So you may as well dance.

Bright sunny mornings

Something nice that happened to me this week:

I went to a concert and we had a really rude bus driver which meant we didn't know where to get off but then there was a lovely man in the corner of the bus who told us the way and then when it came to the stop he  told us we were here and where to go next. For every rude bus driver there is a friendly man in the corner.

Something nice that I did this week:

My friends mum had to pick us up from said concert quite late due to train issues and my other friend and I bought her some flowers to say thank you. (We also offered petrol money but she said no)

I hope you have a wonderful week
