LondonBaby!

Have to admit today has been a pretty mint day. London baby! Early start to London this morning with the Politics class at seven, definitely too early making me hyper. Not a good sign when there are other business folk on the train with us. I didn't seem to notice though, I had a great trip with the girles and managed not to get lost or loose the gang on the tube. To make the day even more fun we all acted like uber-tourists taking pictures at all the attractions, Big Ben, Telephone boxes etc.. It was so much fun.
Maybe the actual going into Westminster and the Supreme Court was maybe a little more tedious than expected but with the rest of the day eating sweets and giggling everything was worth it! Even meeting a minor celeb on the train home made everyone's day, well the girls at least! The Made in Chelsea star didn't know what hit him, haha, it was great and definitely was our conversation for the two hour journey back!


I look scary in this photo, I know.

Hey girlls!

Harry Potter fans!
We were so lucky with the weather too! Seventeen degrees was practically tropical, I wish it were here to stay but unfortunately it was a once in a blue moon day. We're in a drought apparently! I cannot wait until Summer until the weather is better, at least warmer I hope, fingers crossed! The sun always puts people in good moods and makes the days seem better especially at school. Summer 2012, gonna be a goodun'.

I'll have those thank you!

I love buying new things, each time I try to save up it doesn't last for too long. Though I did good saving up for Leeds Fest therefore I guess its possible, hehe. The thing with new items, whether they're clothes, gadgets or books, its the fact that they're new that gets to me. I instantly want to play with them or wear them. I haven't took these brand spanking shoes off. Being small I like to have a bit of height, this is probably a strange thing to say as I usually wear comfy flats, my trusty converse are never too far away. Yet I'd love to boost my 5"1 self up another few inches (plus I really need the practice.) Boots are a weakness of mine, they go with everything and last throughout the year going from laid-back styles to going out. As you can see from my picture I chose to go laid-back, I guess I forgot that these pictures would go on the internet so just made myself too comfortable, oh well!
It's always hard to think of dressing up, I like to be comfortable so I usually go straight for the jeans. For myself Topshop do a great range for petite persons, I will always find something that fits. If you are teeny weeny just like me I'd recommend to go on this link to check it out! Petite Topshop.

new and beautiful, yeah i like my socks too.

honestly the best bargain I've ever made!
So I never shop in sales, I find it waay to hectic and get all worked up cause I never find anything. I always get jealous of those who wear nothing but items that they get in sales. However! I was lucky enough to see these boots at Topshop, they've gone from £78 to £35, I was like I'll have those thank you! Such a good mood after, especially when my Urban Outfitters things that I ordered were no good. As soon as I got home I tried them on with a few different types of outfits and they were perfect! Life is good.

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.

It always gets to Thursdays and I just want to give up. Its nearly the end of the school week but you still have one day to go. It takes the mick really. Like all weeks before this it has been a long, draining one, unlike last week when I was busy almost every night this week I have had nothing to do but revise. It has been worked out it is twenty days until my first AS Level exam and THAT freaks me out. I don't feel ready at all, these classes and lesson I've been too this whole year don't feel worth it. It feels like I've not really learnt anything, except that you can't do well without a bit of hard work. Honestly feel like screaming.

I've always wanted to go to a field somewhere and just yell, how free would that feel? So great, it would be like being a child again and letting all the emotion inside flow out like a waterfall. I always let my feelings show anyway, I'm that type of person, its physically hard to hold back tears but I'm good at being strong whether it looks like it or not. At this age what serious things do we have to worry about? The world is our oyster and all that jazz.

I mean L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. right?! Of course, and that is a beautiful saying to live by. That's why its my title of the blog to remind all people not to worry cause everything will be okay.
Smileeee.

Be comfortable.

I love finding clothes and re-inventing outfits its great! I mean the top I wore in my earlier blog page for dressing up was my brothers. Its a polo top and its perfect for being laid back and chilled out in. I love to be comfy therefore if I were to dress up I always add a twist to make the outfit my style. Though I must admit "my style" is hard to explain, a lot of people probably won't like it but then again not everything is for everyone. Be comfortable in who you are and what you wear. For example the dress below that I'm wearing I got for my year eleven prom, when I got it I knew I wanted to use it after as a chilled look therefore teaming it with the polo I just found was perfect.
Dress: Jack Wills
Shoes: Republic
Top: unknown
Really went OTT on editing!

My beautiful shoes!




Being a child.

When you get to my age it seems to be parties and drinking is all that teens do, it's quite sad really how some feel the need to always have a drink in their hand. However one of my bestest friends this week decided to go against the majority and have a fancy dress tea party and play pass the parcel. It was so much fun and took everyone back to when we were five and we loved it. It was hard to think of a costume, I was coming late anyway because of work so I had little time to get ready.
An idea clicked here!
I thought how simple it was to get a polo top and shorts and dress as Christopher Robin out of Winnie the Pooh, it was great! I mean I had the hair already and it meant little makeup had to be faffed about with.
Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you.

Christopher Robin.
Dressing up was great and it felt nice not having an hangover in the morning, maybe I've turned into a granny already about alcohol! I hope not as I can't wait for nights to come, but for now I'm good dressing up, playing games and being a child.

Bombay Bicycle Club, 19/04/2012.

A whole week has gone by, its gone so fast but I've been so busy! This week I had the amazing chance to see Bombay Bicycle Club at York. They were amazing, I was actually on the railings facing them, I've never been so close at a concert before but I guess that's what you get for being so early. Jack Steadman was truly beautiful right before my eyes, I'm definitely recommending you see them, they are amazeballs live!! At the end I had no voice and my ribs had been crushed to impair my breathing, but I didn't care it was worth the five months wait for them. I cannot wait to see them again at Leeds Festival later this year!
Ray Morris, beautiful girl with a soulful voice, gorgeous! Twitter her!

Lianne La Havas, loved her too, more upbeat music, so catchy! Twitter her!


Jack Steadman, I was this close!!

Bombay Bicycle Club!

In the York Press, I was excited by this a lot! This is genuinely how excited I was the whole day and night! Eek!

Diet starts tomorrow.

It's a little late but I love the Easter chocolate. Especially the days after Easter Sunday when the eggs go down to 50p, it's completely great. Who needs to buy chocolate beforehand and spend a fiver when you can buy a bunch of them after. Or maybe that's just my inner fatty talking. After this week of indulging during my adventure away I noticed my inner fatty take over more and more. Diet starts tomorrow. So much chocolate and food was eaten, I'm not a big eater but this week I seem to have forgotten what a real portion was. It was a little great! But not being able to fit in my shorts after a couple of days was upsetting. I felt like I was on Supersize Vs Superskinny, facing the truth. So I ate an apple, it made me feel so much better. Why is it that when we're on holiday we eat and drink so much more? Our inner fatty tells us is okay to have that big triple chocolate cake slice because, well, you're on holiday.

Chocolate is my downfall. Its my energy to get through the day, I find I need a bar of Dairy Milk just to keep me going during school. So on our outing to Tesco I'm always eager for my boost. That's why Easter is so great, plus somehow the chocolate is lots nicer than usual. Why is that? Do they do something special? Well if they do I ain't complaining, it's amazeballs.
Flake is so good!

Comfort is key.

Okay so I did a mini photo shoot (I guess that's what you could call it) I wanted some really fancy pictures for the blog. I was making an emphasis on what I was wearing. Honestly its nothing special I just like to be comfortable. Comfort is key. I love to be creative with my style and be different to others. Trends are hard to follow what with them changing every few weeks, its difficult to keep up and to save money. It seems all I do is spend money nowadays to look good. Recycling old clothes or doing a clothes swap between friends are great ways of creating a new outfit. What you hated last year may be in fashion now and you might love it. Never through things away! I've done that and now I buy new things that I knew I once had, it's annoying but who knew at the time.
I rarely wear dresses and skirts but I do enjoy mixing them up with a comfy jumper or a big tee. Style is individual therefore one should embrace it. Who cares what people think about what you wear, as long as you love it and feel confident in it then wear what you wish!
love this outfit, purely for being comfortable and bright. Converse rock this world!
my round sunnies are my best buy ever, £1 from H&M that is a great shop to find bargain essentials
Jumper: Topshop
Shorts:Topshop
Sunnies:H&M
Shoes:Converse

A new day

So the second day comes around of my new blogging obsession. All night I've been thinking of what I can do to enhance my ideas in the blog. It's so exciting being able to write literally what I would like and what appeals to me. I realise I still haven't put any recent photographs up of myself! It is because I am hardly photogenic like all the other beautiful bloggers out there; but my aim is to try my best and see what images are made. I have taken my brothers camera as it is waay better than my own (meaning it works.)

My family are back from their trip up North which I accompanied them for a few if the days. It was nice to come home, have peace and enjoy time with my friends who I have not seen over Easter. It's funny how school gives you a holiday to rest and work yet the time goes by so fast and the two weeks of gorgeous Easter holiday are gone!

I so enjoyed my girly catch up last night, it was cute!
No make-up but my girls are beaut! Love being crazy and weird.

Hi there!

Well I am indeed new to all this bloggingness. To be honest it caught my eye a few months ago in Company magazine. I've always loved the idea of having a blog and people being interested in me. However I left it because at 16 I felt I was a little too young ad inexperienced to be expressing thoughts and ideas. Though after doing a lot of research into "How to make a Successful Blog" (yes, very amusing, I felt like I was reading "Writing a Blog for Dummies" but websites and books are the most helpful way to learn.) I realised that the important thing is that I express my thoughts truthfully and have responses to those that want more and enjoy what they read.

I thought as a first initial post I would introduce myself. There isn't much to say but I don't want to be anonymous. I'm not that special, just ordinary like every other blogger and person on this small world. I am currently doing my A Levels in North Yorkshire, it's tricky. I am finding it quite hard and being panicky about it all. Though I've always been that type of person to panic at inopportune moments i.e. before exams, deadlines etc.. Panicking is the worst, it just makes people not believe in themselves, I've always been that type but honestly deep inside me I know I can do it. Something just overrides me and says 'you can't do this' and it sends me crazy. I've found knowing what I want is hard also, a teens mind is so messed up it's hard to know what the truth and reality of a subject is. Friendships, family, relationships and work are all hard to juggle when you're an adult let alone when you're 17 and increasingly hormonal (stressful I know!) I find my true friends, magazines and television get me through most days, like any usual teen.

I'm going to keep posting as often as I can and I promise (with a cherry on top) that it will get more interesting with pictures and links to my favourite websites and places. I'm new at this so work with me please!! :)
