watching the snowfall

2012-02-04T08:48:00.000-08:00

It's just started snowing! So this prompted me to sit at my window and watch for a while. I've been ill in bed all day today, so not much fashionable inspiration going on. And I look like crap. I like to call this my "glamorous winter in bed" look... um... basically a ridiculously furry Nepalese hat, a velvet smoking jacket (from Mike's Gran, such a babe) and of course, pyjamas. Plus ANTM All Stars ALL DAY. I have been watching America's Next Top Model all day, down to the final four!

I've been following Allison Harvard on Tumblr for a while now, I remember when she was first on ANTM I wanted her to win and she comes second this series, which is so so wrong. She is adorable. She is so different to all the other loudmouthed girls, and when she had to write a song and all the others were doing raps/poppy shit, she was like ohmygod what do I do and she actually came out on top, with her ethereal song and video "underwater" (first pic).

The snow has turned into rain now. Boooooo.

PHOTOS BY CHLOE WARREN! :)

Some more photos for Chloe's photography, except this time I have two buddies with me :)

SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S QUITE EXCITING:

Mike got interviewed by our friend Lewis for his blog, Stuff What I Wrote! So read this and learn about the loveliness that is Mike as he discusses his style and our relationship and books etc. It's a good read, honest. SO CLICK HERE!

Today was the deadline for all the Art coursework, so that meant Fine Art, Art History (Mike), Graphics (me), Photography, and Textiles students had to hand in all their coursework. It was the most stressful afternoon since Photography GCSE but my friend Olivia was a massive babe and helped me get everything done. And as we raced outside in sheer happiness at our coursework being over, it even started to snow a little. HUZZAH FOR FREEDOM!

Other news includes watching Dancing on Ice and being addicted to Temple Run...

Song: Left Myself Behind - TOY (they played at the Cave Club on NYE and they're pretty awesome)

Hellooooo, Jesus I think it's been about two weeks now, I do apologise. So I got a bit bored of the usual scenery, (i.e my bedroom) so I decided to take a gander to the beach/Japan/space...
I would use the usual excuse of I have way too much of a social life to update my blog but on Saturday night I stayed in and played Articulate with Mike, Aljec, Erin, and my parents while everyone else was at a party, haha. I'm going to Westfield on Sunday, with £75 which is going to disappear in about twenty minutes of being there. I've never been before, Londoners - is it good?

Brussels/Amsterdam

2012-01-11T13:11:00.000-08:00

Some pictures from my recent trip to Brussels and Amsterdam with Mike. Belgium was especially nice as I got to go back to "ma hood" as it were, Rixensart, where I first learnt to talk/went to my first school etc., plus BELGIAN WAFFLES, nuff said really. My hat makes an appearance again in these photos and this time not just on my head, but on Mike's! I reckon he pulls it off... and so does he...

My friend Bella is amazing at plaits, she can do pretty much any type, and I'm always begging for her to do my hair. I think she likes practising on my hair cos it's long so its kind of a win win situation?

suffering from post panto depression. :(

NYE

2012-01-05T10:09:00.000-08:00

First 3 photos copyright THIS MAN AND HIS FLICKR. (I don't know who he is! He is some sort of official photographer for the Cave Club but he is anonymous, and just came up to us in a state of drunkenness...)

Bit late for NYE snaps, I know but I only just got round to uploading them! These are taken at the Cave Club/Buffalo Bar in London. Basically a party hosted by The Horrors, one of them is Rhys Webb in the last pic ;) He squeezed my hand and smiled at me and told me Happy New Year. What a babe. I'm in the first picture on the far left. I know I look like a bit of a knob, but I love that picture anyway! Second pic is of our baby Ethan and his girlfriend Jozie. Oh he's grown up so fast...

My shirt and hat are from Topshop :)
Bit gutted cos I had a picture of me and Erins shoes, we were wearing really awesome DMs, mine were floral and hers were leopard print but I seem to have lost the photo... :(

top street style of 2011

2012-01-02T05:18:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! It seems that everyone thinks that 2011 has gone by soooo fast, and I must say that I agree. Here are some of the best street style snaps that I have found on Tumblr, Vanessa Jackson's website, and Mr. Newton!

Sorry my blog has been so silent recently, it's that time of year, Christmas with the family and all that. Mike and I went to Brussels and Amsterdam so when he decides to do something with the photos that involves a computer, I shall share them with you!

New Year was AMAZING. Spent at The Cave Club at The Buffalo Bar in London. Basically a party hosted by The Horrors, Rhys Webb squeezed my hand and smiled at me and said Happy New Year to me which made my night. I'll probably post my outfit soon...a photographer took a couple of photos of us so when they get uploaded I shall share them too! So a lot to come in 2012! But at the moment I have to focus on the ton of homework/revision that needs to be done... oh the joys.

So these pictures were for my friend's Photography work in college, lots of fun ;) and next I present to you...

EVOLVE FREERUNNING TEAM!

My friend Jess and her boyfriend Ollie are part of a freerunning group, meaning they go round public places, bouncing off walls and flipping and such. It's actually so sick! You need to watch their showreel cos it's amazing and they want loads of views so they can be recognised!

Jumper//Charity shop - Stripy top//Paris - Shorts//Miss Selfridge - Tights//Primark

Ahhh, been so long since I updated! Here are some random bedroomy outfit pics. I definitely prefer dressing in the winter to the summer, you can layer up with long tops and wooly jumpers. I'm getting really excited for Christmas, except I can't quite seem to realise how quickly it's come! I've got most of my shopping out the way already though (phew)... bit worried about how I'm gonna have enough money for 3 Christmas meals out and 3 more presents when I keep buying food at college! Just discovered we have a shopping centre down the road... Hello Burger King, Subway and Costa Coffee...

To get in the festive spirit, I'm watching the classic 40s Christmas movie, "Christmas in Conneticut":

Well that's all for now,

Leather Jacket//Primark - Lace Blouse//Vintage - Shorts//Primark

My blog feels a bit "meh" at the moment, probably because I admit I haven't been putting much of an effort in recently! Been so busy with college work and drama shows and the like.

I swear I keep wearing tights and knee high socks, even though it's nearly December and it's freezing and I look like a pleb in shorts! I STILL don't have a winter coat yet, it's ridiculous. I keep having to wear denim/leather jackets.

My cousin Billie is arriving from France tonight to look at Central St. Martin's College in London, wooo exciting! I have made a couple of Pulp references but nobody seems to understand. If you don't get me listen to Common People by Pulp. The second line. Boom.

Well I'm off to the orthodontist now. I've had to get new retainers cos my old ones don't fit me anymore... awkward :/

T-shirt//H&M Menswear (my brothers, heh) - Cardigan//Charity shop - Shorts//Miss Selfridge

Hello, sorry, I leave it a while and then only post shitty webcam pictures. Anyway I got these shorts from Miss Selfridge in the sale, and they're an awesome dark green colour! We have an Outfit down the road from college which includes Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge all under one roof... a very good time waster indeed. As well as McDonalds... ANYWAY! The other day my friend Bella did my hair in this awesome halo plait thing which went round my head. She is the Queen of Plaits.

Christmas is getting ever closer! Last night was Fleet Festivities (or Gala Night) where literally everyone in Fleet smushes into the High Street and the Christmas lights turn on. There are loads of rides and hot chestnuts and lights, it's quite awesome. THERE WAS EVEN A PETTING ZOO. This really excited me, as you can tell. Mike and I strolled through the debris after it had all finished, watching people pack things away, and felt like we were in the middle of an apocalypse...

Photos by Claudia Rozier

Just a standard Saturday afternoon! These are some photos Claudia took for her art project - she's doing light and shadow, with surrealism. We got to the tree, and saw this chavvy 14 year old couple sitting there. We ignored them, and carried on hanging things on the tree, until they were like "what are you doing?". We told them we were doing photography, but they just stayed where they were the whole time, just sitting there watching. Actually at one point the girl loudly went "are you gonna be my boyfriend forever and have sex with me", which was quite lols. I mean she was like 14.

Today I found out I can get free flu vaccinations from work, cos I work in a pharmacy WOO! No more flu! That's probably the most exciting news I have today.

Tegan and Mike's "Britain in a Day"

YEAH OUR VOICES! :) and what our day is like. WAHOOO. might be on TV guys. possibly. bits of it.

I've been ill this week, and not taken any outfit pictures :( today I dressed up as Poison Ivy from Batman, cos it was Heroes & Villains Day at college, even though not many people knew who I was. I didn't know who she was til my friend suggested it, and I googled it and she's ginger so I was like whey. Here's my hair and make up though...

AHAHA. I don't know why I find that last picture really funny. I just look so suspicious LOL.

OK that was a really bad post, sorry.

Song: I'll Be Your Mirror - The Velvet Underground

Hello *cough*. Today I woke up about 7am, threw up, then went back to bed, and woke up feeling awful. Mike slept round, and he felt ill as well so we spent the day on my sofa bed, sleeping, watching Mean Girls and drinking tea.

Anyway, these jeggings arrived for me the other day from the lovely people at AX Paris, an online store (although I think they're also in Debenhams and stuff) who sent me some free jeggings to review! And I don't even need to review them myself, the next day I wore them to college and got quite a few compliments! They are just the perfect colour for autumn plus they're insanely soft. And I'm not even saying this cos they sent me free ones so I have to say they're nice, I'm saying this cos it's true, they are awesome! Here is their website - CLICK ME!

And lastly, yesterday was the day of "Britain in a Day", where people all over Britain filmed their day, and they're making it into a movie! Like Life in a Day, except just Britain. Mike and I made a little film so I shall put that up shortly!

hey there, at the moment my mum is making a roast dinner (yeah it's Tuesday, I don't understand either...) and I think Mike's coming over and we're gonna make gluten free brownies, woo. anyway, this is what I wore to college today, as per, and I was bloody cold, so it wasn't a very good idea. should have gone with a denim jacket over the top as well. I love putting knee high socks over the top of thin tights, a good example of layering that also looks really cute.

so as a general consensus... should I do a make up tutorial/video thingy?

Song: Machu Piccu - The Strokes

Remember remember, the 5th of November! IT'S BONFIRE NIGHT! And I'm sat at home...making a blog post... hmm. Nah, I am going out later. I think... ANYWAY. Got this skirt in the H&M sale, £7, cheeky bargain. And don't ask why my hair is in such a random array of buns, I'm hoping that when I take it out it will be all wavy! (if it isn't fucked by the circa 2003 pre-Morrisons "Safeway" hairspray I used that was literally just liquid, mm, I know, retro...)

Another recent purchase is my Barry M gold dazzle dust, which sounds a bit OTT and tacky, (and possibly like a really camp and or/chavvy person should be wearing it - "dahlin, ma dazzle dust babez!") but when it's snuggled in your lids it just makes your face sparkly, which to me is always a good thing. Was thinking of doing a make up tutorial video soon, but I dunno! Ahhh you guys hearing my voice might be weird. But I dunno, I love seeing how people do their make up, people do it so differently, haha.

Halloween!

2011-11-01T02:46:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween! (for yesterday...)

On Saturday night, Mike had one of his and his sister's messy Woodfine parties, and there were some pretty imaginative and/or creative costumes being displayed! Although we removed our boxes after 20 minutes (wide boxes + narrow doorways = stuck) Mike and I went as a "Like" and a "Poke"! Cos we are that nerdy and Facebook addicted, of course. There was also "Night and Day" "Lady Gaga" "Shepshag" (sheep shagger, as opposed to sheep herder) and "Like A Boss"...

What did you do for Halloween? Did you dress up?

double denim

2011-10-25T09:23:00.000-07:00

(Dont ask... I thought that cloud looked like a teapot!)

Denim Jacket//my mum - Jeans//Primark - Top//New Look - Black Cardigan (underneath)//Topman (it's Mike's) Necklace//Forever 21 Hair Band//H&M - Hairslide//The Pencil Museum - Bag//Mike's Gran!

OK I think this denim jacket is my Autumn staple, I wear it all the time, and yes, with jeans = DOUBLE DENIM, but I think it kinda worked OK! I was being quite patriotic with my very British tee, from the New Look sale, and my Keep Calm and Drink Tea badge from the library.

On Sunday, I went up to London with the girls and stayed the night in my friend's brother's flat in Camden. The next morning we awoke (several times, thanks to us still having our college time alarms) and went shopping in Camden, Covent Garden, and Oxford Street. There's a Forever 21 that's just opened on Oxford Street, first in the UK! I thought it would be really expensive, cos it's American and really popular over there, but it was actually really well priced! I got this deer necklace for £2.40! I basically went accessory shopping cos I'm broke... getting paid tomorrow though, and tomorrow it's also me and Mike's one year and one month anniversary!

Oh and I decided to give up on the Miss Scarlet/Professor Plum idea, cos Mike wouldn't really be dressing up much, and we wanna go as something even more awesome! WHICH WE ARE! But it's a secret... I shall reveal all after the party on Saturday night! ;)

If you haven't Keisha Fabo already, OMG WATCH IT, IT'S THE FUNNIEST THING EVER! Mike and I watched all 3 episodes and were literally laughing SOOO MUCH. Think ghetto peeps + The Sims 3...

Fifi bags/general inspiration

2011-10-20T13:03:00.000-07:00

Sorry, it's been a week since I updated and it isn't even an outfit post! I'm being lazy, I know! But I saw these Fifi bags on the Fifi blog and was like OMG. I have a Fifi Lapin satchel (which features a whole variety of outfits) but I just love this canvas one! I wanna take it to college with a fur coat!

HALLOWEEN SOON... what are you guys going as? Mike's having a party, and after going through loads of ideas, we have come up with going as Miss Scarlet and Professor Plum from Cluedo! Which means asking Mike's older sister if I can sneakily borrow her gorgeous red satin to the floor length prom dress! And testing a wash in wash out hair dye... do they work!? I need to know this guys, because if my hair doesn't go back to it's usual colour, I will have a fit, and I'm pretty sure my Mum will too... ™-xo

If you called your dad, he could stop it all yeah

Hellllooooo all. Another random variety of photos today... LOL just realised how much I look like I need to pee in the first photo, awkward. Anyway, AUTUMN IS HERE! We have survived the wierd October heatwave and now it's chilly again, yay! Time for maroon/red/burgundy and denim! The other day I got this awesome kind of rusty coloured jumper from H&M, and it has a cute pocket (modelled by my panda ring... which I got when meeting Panda from Studmuffin, she has a matching one, SHE BETTER STILL HAVE IT) which I know is just for decoration, but I have stuck my phone in there a couple of times...

Oh, and that awesome hairslide made of recycled pencils (in very autumnal colours, woo) is actually from THE PENCIL MUSEUM in Keswick, The Lake District. My mum went in there by herself a few weeks ago when she went to the Lake District... she sat there colouring in childrens worksheets. Bless her.

My room is kind of all over the place at the moment - the other day I came home to find the ceiling leaking, and the water valve thing is in a cupboard in my bedroom, which meant tearing my whole room apart, and now my mum is insisting that I have a proper clear out. :/

In other news, I HAVE A NEW ROOMMATE/LODGER THING! Haha, my friend Paddy moved to Ireland a couple of months ago to live with his Dad, long story short, it was shite, so now he lives with me in my brothers old bedroom! :)

Annnddd lastly, I bought the latest ELLE on Sunday, and it was a pleasing one. Only cos I love Emma Watson and how sensible and innocent she is, and most of all classy. She's like, the most famous female of our time, (she even got recognised as "the girl from Harry Potter" in a mud hut in Bangladesh, come on) and yet she hasn't let it get to her head. Also in that issue of ELLE, an interview with Donatella Versace - VERSACE FOR H&M COMING OUT SOON! Not that I'll be able to afford any of it...

Bunny dress - Spitalfields Market//Loafers - New Look

Hellllooo, bit of a mishmash post today. Last week was our Freshers Party, basically where all the first year college people got together for an organised clubbing event... so anyway, the next morning my hair was all wavy and make up all grungy so I thought I would do a kind of beauty shoot type thing, except not beautiful, haha. And then these are some random garden shots in my bunny dress, because I love it and thought I would make the most of the random October heatwave, which by now, THANK GOD, I think has died down. I love cold weather so much more than hot weather, wrapping up warm is so good.

My blog has been changing a lot, I keep playing with backgrounds and headers etc., sorry about that!

Oh, and R.I.P Steve Jobs. :'( Right now I am actually typing this on a Mac. Which would not be here without him (plus all the other Apple items in my house... my Dad's a bit obsessed), plus PIXAR, hello, TOY STORY? BUGS LIFE? Omg. I owe that man so much... it sucks more people didn't know him :'(

Oooooh and my last thing I'm gonna talk about is... I JOINED A CHEERLEADING SQUAD TODAY. I know, it's really weird, but it's actually really fun... bit nervewracking when I get thrown in the air though (yep, I'm short, so I'm a flyer).

Anyway you probably didn't actually read all of that, but anyways,

A weekend in London...

2011-10-02T11:13:00.000-07:00

First things first, I met Panda (or Izzy) from Studmuffin!

Mike and I travelled up to London for our anniversary weekend and met up with our fave blogging bud for some Covent Garden wandering and henna tattoos! (I got a Deathly Hallows sign, Panda got yin and yang). Mike and I then braved the awkward moment of trying to convince the receptionist that he should let us stay in his five star hotel, because Mike was actually Mike's Dad...(Mike's Dad had loads of hotel points that we used to book the room) which was slightly difficult when Mike had to say that no, he did not carry identification... or a credit card. Bags delivered and refreshed after using the hotel pool/spa, we went to Chinatown for the BEST CHINESE EVER. It was amazing.

And now, Monday morning, back at college. Dressing is getting more and more difficult - it's October, but the UK is having some kind of heatwave at the moment! It's absolutely BOILING. We're having summer in April and October this year it seems...

Anyway I'm off for a roast dinner,

Dungarees - Erin gave them to me :3

Blouse - Charity shop

Necklace - Jess gave it to me, but I know it's from Dorothy Perkins ;)

Helllooooo. I've had rather a rushed evening, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be quite a productive one. A blog update and two essays! I've written one essay, and I'm about half way through the second. Anyway, enough of all that boring shizzle, I wore this outfit to college today, and got a couple of compliments, which is always nice. :) The best one had to be this guy in my Philosophy class went

"oh my God you're wearing dungarees! I love dungarees!" I couldn't really think of what to say so I just said "... same!"

OOOOOH and I got a fringey thing! (as photographed rather close up above) ... Its more swoopy now, YAY! :D

IN OTHER AWESOME AND HUGE WOW NEWS - YESTERDAY WAS ME AND MIKE'S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. ONE. WHOLE. YEAR. OMFG. I got him a jumper from Topman... and he told me he's taking me for a London weekend break in a five star hotel on the south bank! Yeah, upstaged much. BUT I AM SO EXCITED! Can't wait to update with the photos :)

Better get on with these essays now :/

Top - Brittany, THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE BRETON SHIRT!

Skirt - Vintage fair

Backpack - Accesorize

Socks - Primark

Hello there, I seem to be updating a bit TOO often nowadays, jeez, it's like all or nothing with me. Very sorry. So these are some photos of me looking like a douche in my room for the banter. And to show you my outfit, of course. This is one of my favourite outfits I've worn to college so far!

Little tip, only wear ridiculously chunky knit cardigans when you know it's going to be FREEZING. Especially in England, the weather can be quite deceptive. It's all grey, and then BAM you're sweating your armpits off. So make sure you haven't got to run for a train cos you forgot your graphic folder or anything, like I have to do pretty much every day. I'm literally the most clumsy person ever. Today I dropped my train pass as I ran for the train, and my nana had to go and scout for it. It was just outside my house, but still.

I have two "boohoohoos" to share with you now.

BOOHOOHOO NUMBER ONE: I have forgotten my Pottermore password. And no matter how many times I press 'forgotten your password?' and get them to e-mail me a new one, NO E-MAIL ARRIVES. FML.

BOOHOOHOO NUMBER TWO: Blogger wont let me change my header :( I made a cool new one, but apparently I have too many photos. GAH. :'( IT'S SO PRETTY.

Anyway bye.

Shirt - random shop in London, lol sorry not much help there.

Shorts - New Look

Tights - Dorothy Perkins

Loafers - New Look

TIGER FUCKING ONESIE - Primark, obviously.

Yeah I know everyone has the tiger onesies but they're so bloody comfy, I don't wear them on pyjama days and days to take the piss, I genuinely wear it round my house. This has been a busy weekend! I have panto rehearsals today, yesterday I had work and then went to London with Mike and we went to go see One Man Two Guvnors which is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! The London shows are fully booked but they are touring so you MUST SEE IT! And on Friday night we went to Ed's house and there were three of us girls and him just spooning in his bed whilst the rest of the guys played music next door. It's safe to say he felt pretty pimpin'. But I mean we were just telling bedtime stories, haha.

Well I'm off to buy BBQ meat, ta ta :)

Colour my life with the chaos of trouble

2011-09-12T13:35:00.000-07:00

Bird shirt - Primark
Trousers - Topshop
Wedge boots - Primark

I recently got these wedge boots and they're awesome. They're really cosy, which is great for winter. However, I can't wear them out if I'm gonna be doing loads of walking - my toes suffer from acheage after a while! Ah well, gotta suck it up I guess...

I'm sorry for these appalling photos, as you can see they were taken with my bloody PHONE, because Bella still has my camera!
So anyway, much has occured in the past few days. Well actually not that much, only about two major things, BUT STILL.
Firstly, it is that time of year again - PANTO! And this year I have quite a good part. I have to go to rehearsals every Sunday but it's so worth it cos this year I'm actually a human.

Secondly, I had my first day of college today! And you'll never believe this but I actually MADE A FRIEND. Mike and I chilled with her in our free period ;) Other than that it's pretty stressful trying to meet up with people for lunch, but hey ho. The lessons are pretty awesome. They all had WHEELY CHAIRS! OK, well I thought that was pretty cool.

Oh, what's that?
MY POTTERMORE ACCOUNT IS READY?

Home is whenever I'm with you

2011-09-09T02:45:00.000-07:00

Just realised I never showed any of you any photos of my prom, wayyy back in June! So there you go, there's some schoolmates, my friends, and I sporting some of Fleet's best formalwear.

Recently I've been listening to the song Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, I'm obsessed, ever since Mike showed to me and it said it should be our song. It's really sweet and the video is really cool so check it out...

I have also been re reading all of the Harry Potters, (there's so much I had forgotten, they missed out so much in the films!) and am now currently on Goblet of Fire. It's a bit of a sudden change, the books suddenly get MASSIVE and all the characters are growing up! And also in the fourth movie Harry's kinda hot. There. I said it. I don't care if it's wierd cos he's fourteen, Daniel Radcliffe is probably my age when he's acting. But then he goes and cuts all his hair off for the fifth and looks like a knob. Krh.

Anyway that's the update of my life I PROMISE I WILL DO AN OUTFIT POST NEXT OKAY!

Krispy Kreme Glamour Glaze Review!

2011-09-06T08:05:00.000-07:00

Hello there my lovely readers!
This morning I was greeted with a wonderful surprise from my postman - a delivery from Krispy Kreme doughnuts, who have done a collaboration with Glamour magazine, to make Glamour Glaze doughnuts. Inspired by a 70s theme, they are in orange and strawberry flavours (yep, an example of the colour blocking trend in FOOD ITEMS.) with the original Krispy Kreme base underneath.
And my task, is to taste them and review them.

So, on the first bite...
OMG ARE THEY TASTY.
Personally, I prefer the strawberry ones, as orange isn't really my thing. I don't really enjoy orange much, so I didn't really like them, and if any of you feel the same, I'm sure you'll have someone to eat the orange ones for you! (I know I do...) And with a box of 12 for £9.45 you can share them around! When it came to the strawberry ones, they were personally a little bite of heaven. Sweet stawberry, the crispy base, AND THEY'RE GLITTERY. And £1.35. Nuff said really?

So all in all, some damn good doughnuts. And they're fashionable, so you don't have to feel guilty.

festival fever

2011-08-24T09:39:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is a big day. GCSE results, but more importantly, READING FESTIVAL! Yesterday and today I have been shopping and perusing we heart it/tumblr for ideas. I HAVE A TIGER ONSIE (primark) and some topshop glittery eyeshadow. And a skirt that is literally sequins. Because where else am I gonna wear all that sort of thing?! I AM SET. And so excited. And a bit scared that I'll be injured/robbed/have my tent set on fire, but hey ho. Mike has a samurai knife to protect me...

Why charity shops are awesome

2011-08-18T06:48:00.000-07:00

People often sneer at charity shops, saying their for grannies or what not. Well actually, they're immense. All of these photos above are of things I've purchased from charity shops, and each item is usually about £3! Not to mention it's all for a good cause. So I don't really see any faults with them.

In fact, the boater hat in the first picture caused me to get featured HERE.

Other than that I've basically been having a lazy day today. It's raining like mad, I only left the house to get a wrap and some crisps from Tesco, so now I'm sporting pyjamas and a wooly cardigan....

And if you go, chasing rabbits

2011-08-13T05:22:00.000-07:00

Last night was Bella's Alice in Wonderland tea party, although it kind of just turned out to be a party party but with really awesome decorations and costumes! I was the White Queen - I swear, I had a blonde wig but I took it off pretty fast cos it was really itchy...
Also, I haven't just acquired a new awesome camera without telling you, I kind of stole Mike's ;)

At times like this, I am so glad that I live in a town outside of London, and not in the heart of the city after all these riots. My brother got sent home from work because they were evacuating the area. It's so awful :( Everybody send happy vibes and hopefully people will stop setting fire to other people's cars which they paid good money for, and smashing up buildings and stealing from shops and ruining their business! :(

Last photos of France...

2011-08-10T05:03:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the super massive delay, Mike and I were in France - AGAIN! The last few shots are from Provence, the next are from rainy Brittany where we spent the last few days being very nautical in the birthplace of the breton shirt! (and taking my Grandadd's boat out. It was literally the Boat That Guy Built. Cos his name's Guy. And he built it.)
OK, I promise, after this post no more photos from France, I will do more outfit posts and stuff!

Also, if you live in the UK and have a really cool WH Smith near you (or you live in France), they might sell French Vogue, which I urge you to get this month cos they have a really awesome photo shoot with 64 designers, set in downtown LA and is overall really groovy for ideas and or/cutting out and sticking on your wall and thinking "I wish I lived there"/"owned something similar to that".

I will hopefully post again ASAP! Hope you're all having a lovely summer,

Top - River Island

Ello, part 4 of the Provencal adventures is here! Sorry to bore you with all this, but these photos are way nicer than any I would take in England! So anyway, in our second villa we could see a huge mountain called Mont Ventoux overlooking us, and we drove to the top to watch the sunset. Yes, we drove because it was a spur of the moment thing. And it was night. And we're lazy.

So back in England, last night I went to go see Horrible Bosses, and it's hilarious so go and watch it. But maybe not with your parents.

Competition WINNER!

2011-07-29T10:17:00.000-07:00

My competition is now CLOSED. And the winner is... Hazel! Congrats! (Sorry Lewis and Chris, I know how much you wanted it... but she won fair and square by number generator) xo

Provence Pt. 3 - Le Chateau

2011-07-26T02:56:00.000-07:00

Bonjour encore my toasters. Haha, should I just refer to you all as toasters? Wait, that's quite strange. ANYWAY. This is Part 3 of the Provencal Adventures! This is when we went out for a meal for a friend's birthday. I've shown you this outfit before actually, but it didn't have such an awesome backdrop ;) And that creme brulee was NOMZ, it had lavender in it!

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY COMPETITION TO WIN AN AWESOME DRESS HERE. Pleaaaassee. I need more people to enter before I can announce the winner, which I need to do very soon! You never know... ;)

Shorts - Topman

Hello there! Sorry I haven't updated in ages, I've been waiting for Mike to post all of our Provence pictures on Facebook. These photos were taken near the second villa we stayed at :) The night before there was a huge storm which carried on through to the morning (cuddles ensued) which left us with the rest of the day hot and sunny...

More France photos to come!

Anyway, yesterday I SAW HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 (jeez that's a long title). I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALL OVER. I found some of it kind of funny though. There's a bit where Voldemort hugs Draco and it's like the most awkward thing ever. Definitely go and see it!
After that Ed, Mike, Erin, Lewis and I got a Chinese randomly, cos Mike and I found ourselves craving it after 3 weeks in France. We then went to Lewis' and watched Burn After Reading, and did a shot every time John Malkovich appeared...

In the meantime,
DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY COMPETITION TO WIN AN AWESOME DRESS here! :D
(you don't have to do all that shit like "tweet this for more entries" cos that's pooey)

Toujours Provence

2011-07-06T14:09:00.000-07:00

BONJOUR! I'm sorry I didn't post more pictures, it just takes a million years here for some reason, even though I'm on an ultra modern MacBook... BUT ANYWAY. I'm in Provence with Mike's family! (and Mike obviously). Today Mike's amazing Gran took us to a little village called Carces. She said I could dress up as much as I want so I went for wedge heels and a little dress and huge sunnies, and got some odd looks from the locals. Ah well, c'est la vie...

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY COMPETITION HERE!

Ahoy hoy. Some random photos I took in case I hadn't shown you my floral harem pants yet. They're amazingly comfortable! And I got them fairly recently, so you should definitely check out H&M's stock at the moment they've got awesome summery stuff.

MIKE AND I ARE GOING TO FRANCE ON FRIDAY! For three weeks! So I'm sorry but I won't be blogging for aagggesss. But I'll probably blog before hand, because I've got something very exciting for you coming up... -™ xo

2011-06-24T07:04:00.000-07:00

OH MY JESUS, I'm such a bad blogger. It's been over a WEEK! A bloody WEEK! Well my Dad has been non stop hogging the computer, and my Mum's laptop is a tiny bit dead (my aunt poured wine on him LOL. I mean, not LOL. RIP. sort of.)

Anyway these are some really boring posey outfit photos from the built in webcam on my computer. Sorry. I leave for a week and come back with crap stuff... and then some pictures of Mike, cos he's always complaining that he's never on here anymore. So there you go. There's some Mike. Isn't he pretty. I'll do something proper soon, promise. I kind of have an idea. So yea. OO ER PROM SOON! I went out last night and some chavs thought I was twelve. :/

As the lazy ocean hugs the shore

2011-06-16T05:52:00.000-07:00

Well hey! I bought this bubble blower a few weeks ago (Hello Kitty, woo) and recently have taken to just randomly blowing bubbles around my room, just because it's so pretty and fun. Thought I should take some snaps to share with you guys ;) Have also been reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. I watched the film a few months ago and loved it, and then Erin showed me that they had the book in HMV for £2, so I just had to get it. It's really interesting and I love how it's written, it's so beautiful.

I'd love to stay and chat (well, type) but I think I should do some History revision :/ (with peppermint tea, however, to make it more bearable) - ™ xo

Have you seen that girl?

2011-06-13T14:12:00.000-07:00

Don't ask what I'm doing in the last picture because I really have absolutely no idea.

I kind of changed this post, I changed the pictures hehe!

OK, I haven't posted in a while...Sorry, my Dad has been commandeering the computer all day these days... plus, OK, I'm lazy.

The days all just seem like they're merging into one now that I'm not at school anymore, it's mental. Saturday night was Claudia's Cops and Criminals party, and it was really awesome, like everyone had a wanted poster. I was a cat burglar, and Mike was a ninja. We woke up the next morning feeling really ughghhh and I've kind of felt like that ever since :( Anyway yeah, ummm, how are you?

Any post requests? -™ xo

Into your arms, I will go

2011-06-09T03:42:00.000-07:00

Hello :) Just some nice pictures that popped up on my Tumblr dashboard. I can't be arsed to take pictures of what I'm wearing because at the moment it hasn't been that exciting, and anyway I have to find an exciting location seeing as taking them in the convenient place, i.e, my Mum's studio is far too "yuppie" for some people's liking. (anon Formspring message)

I'm sorry if I annoy you, so I'll clear some things up:

-I'm sorry if going skiing offends you, it was a Christmas present and a school trip rolled into one. I don't just do it on a whim cos I'm ridiculously rich.

-I can't help it that my Mum is an author/illustrator. I didn't choose her job. I thought it was kinda cute, and it's not like she's famous or anything.

-I'm not that rich. My Dad just quit his job for a year and a half, so I really won't be living in extravagance.

I hate it when people judge you over the Internet when they have absolutely no idea.

Hay Fever

2011-06-06T12:00:00.000-07:00

Chucking a cowboy hat on as an advertising strategy - my mother in action - the fans - ME MEETING MALORIE BLACKMAN OMFG - my family :)

Last two photos courtesy of Sarah McIntyre, my lovely American friend. (She's a writer AND an illustrator, you know.)

OK, the Hay Festival may seem like old news now, but it was a massive Literature event, and I am so lucky that I got to be part of it, and not only that but got to chill in the green room and get free meals, just because my Mum is an epic illustrator. It's so amazing to see all these kids and parents thoroughly enjoying her books, I mean they all sat still and listened to her. A couple of them even got up and did some acting!

Oh and totally rocking the red lipstick, non?

Sunday's on the phone to Monday

2011-06-02T03:42:00.000-07:00

Woke up this morning to find a parcel with my name on. Isn't that just the best thing to wake up to? It was my goodies from Rebecca at Ginger Ecstasy - I won her giveaway, and she was sweet enough to wrap everything up so it looked cute as, and also, I'm guessing, use next-day delivery! Hip hip hooray!

For the past 2 days I've been at the Hay Festival for Art & Literature. My mum was performing there, promoting her children's books, so in the Green Room I ran into Malorie Blackman, David Gilmore (the guitarist from Pink Floyd), Ann Robinson, Dara O'Brian, oh and of course, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall was there, but I didn't get to meet her :( I'll post about that in due course! :) ™-xo

Sixteen, clumsy and... shy?

2011-05-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

Sorry Morrissey, I don't think I am that shy. But today, I am most definitely, and finally, sixteen and clumsy. Yes. The day has arrived. I AM SIXTEEN! Mes amis, it is MON ANNIVERSAIRE! :D (my birthday lulz).

1.) Just My Type - a book all about fonts, cos I'm a font nerd. I LOVE IT.

2 + 3.) My Mum made me an epic card based on a Reading Festival line-up theme

4.) My favourite movie, Amélie, on DVD!

5.) Unleashing my little-girl side with Hello Kitty merchandise

6.) A handbag of goodies

7.) Some pants...

8.) Swimwear that's actually (sad face) a little too small... but loving the rainbow colours

9.) Mike got me this gorgeous notebook, and his parents got me JIMMY CHOO SHOWER GEL, OMFG.

10.) A Tea Collection from Mike... cuz I love tea :)

11.) And lastly, some headphones from Mike, which are exceptionally groovy and actually stay on my head.

Today is also ED'S BIRTHDAY! So on Saturday night, we're having a SUPER sweet sixteen party. Emphasis on the 'SUPER'. I'll show you pictures revealing the theme ;) -™ xo

Please, Venus

2011-05-21T04:39:00.000-07:00

Some finds from vintage shopping the other weekend. Except for the shoes, those are from Dorothy Perkins. Well, yesterday was THE DAY. I am no longer in school! Yesterday was our last day, and there was lots of shirt signing, picture taking, and remeniscing... until after school, when everyone went off to do fun things in town while I was stuck finishing off Photography coursework with Mike. :/ 5 more exams to go!

Just realised how hideous my face is in those photos. No make-up, I'm afraid. Very sorry for the eye sore.
LOL, last night Mike was here and we ordered a Chinese take away, and this girl in our year works there. Mike pretended to be this proper 'ardnut bloke who beats up his wife and SHPOKE LYK DIS. At one point when he was ordering he went "YEH SHUT UP BARBARA, YOU FINK YUR SO COOL WIV YOUR B-TECH QUALIFICATION! ... Hi, this is Mike. 40 minutes did you say? Yes, thank you very much" -™

2011-05-17T11:37:00.000-07:00

OMG. ITS THE NEW REBECCA BLACK.

I'M NOT KIDDING, IT'S LIKE, HER YOUNGER SISTER.

Seriously, what have the kids of today become?! I mean, they're all strutting their stuff at the end like they're 25! And where the hell did she get the money to buy the jeans in the first place?!

It is pretty much the same as "Friday" in so many different ways...

SIMILARITIES

- They're both awful
- They're both mega autotuned
- They both feature someone who is far too young to drive, driving a GOD DAMN CAR!
- They both have a bit where the main girl sings to all her followers looking awkward
- They both have a random rapping bit where someone of the African-American persuasion says a load of stuff that bears no relevance to the actual song

DIFFERENCES

- One's about jeans, one's about a day of the week.

Well, I hope that that video made you TROLOLOLOLOL cos it certainly made me TROLOLOLOLOL. Anyway, a proper outfit post picturey mcshizzle soon. I just really really had to share that with you guys. I'M LEAVING SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, ZOMG. -™ xo

Good day, sunshine

Hey there guys and gals... Sorry, my blog went a bit kind of... FEPIHHHHH. Which isn't a word, but I hope you understand. It wouldn't let me sign in/comment or anything.

ANYWAY, these are some photos taken today of Mike, Ethan and I as we ventured home from a Saturday Morning Photography session at school to catch up on shizz (I'll post my final pictures when I'm done... they're not as good as last time but oh well).

I might be getting a job in a Pharmacy.

AND ... THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST TONIGHT?!? I get to see my girl crush, Lena (the winner of last year's Eurovision) perform again. I'm so excited. And extremely sad. DON'T JUDGE ME.

I decided to change my font lol.

VINTAGE

2011-05-08T23:20:00.000-07:00

Another picture-heavy post, sorry!

Yesterday my friends and I went to the Farnham Vintage Fair and got to model some designs! It was absolutely amazing, and we got to go shopping afterwards, so I've got some outfit posts lined up ;) It was mad, we were completely rushrushrushing between outfit changes, madly trying to undo zips and the like. Plus I had to open the show, which was a little bit nerve wracking! I did feel like a bit of a G in that first coat though... -™ xo

Toothpaste Kisses

2011-05-04T12:33:00.000-07:00

Shirt - Primark

Dress - Guess

Jesus, that was a lot of photos, I do apologise! The first are an outfit I wore tonight to go look round my college for next year. I looked at the Graphic Design course and was like OMG OMG OMG I HAVE TO DO THIS, because seriously, there is a whole part about FONTS. And I am SUCH a font nerd. They said I had to have an Art GCSE, but when I told the lady that my Mum was an illustrator and she saw I was quite a "creative person" I was like BOOM I'M IN THERE - No GCSE required ;)

Well that was a college rant, anyway the next couple of pictures are from a trip Mike and I did to London, the first is a doodle I did in Wagamama (A REALLY COOL RESTAURANT) and then Mike smoking his pipe like a cool kid. The next few are pictures from HOLGA, my film camera. Then the last few are more from London that I took on my biscuit camera, Seabiscuit.

Phew! ™- xo

Denim style minidress - New Look Floral Vest Top - Debenhams

Well it's finally looking a bit sunnier today after a couple of miserable days, so I decided to whap out the ol' washed out denim mini dress. Just realised that I could take pictures in my room using my Mum's laptop - so here's a little glimpse of my attic :)

I also decided to get myself some red lipstick (even though it was kind of an Autumn trend) for £1! I KNOW! MUA at Superdrug. Just sayin'.

Yesterday, Erin's German gran made us watch the Royal Wedding (she had red white and blue balloons and everything) and made us a special lunch and stuff and so we watched it (I was pretty much just watching for the dress) and then went off randomly to the gym - which was actually really good even though we were like EH HOW DOES THIS TREADMILL WORK?!

So now I'm just waiting for Mike to iron his trousers and get down here pronto so we can watch Star Wars and my guy friends can stop hassling me about it. - ™ xo

You're so naive yet so

2011-04-26T23:57:00.000-07:00

Shirt - Primark Skirt - Random petticoat from a dress from M&S

Just so you know, that is NOT my bedroom. My bedroom is a lot more interesting/quirky/messy. This is my brother's room, I've kind of set up camp in there at the minute because it's just unbearably hot up in the attic (heat rises, dont ya know), and he's off at Uni anyway. Today I revised and then went to Mike's to be creepy and look at his baby photos and to play dyslexic scrabble (basically just spelling words phonetically/chavvily).

Apparently I have "too many clothes". You know what this means? Chucking a load of my old crap out and going SHOPPING! :D Damn, I love it when that time of year rolls around. -™ xo

Sunshine Spirit

2011-04-24T02:12:00.000-07:00

HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY!

Yesterday was a delightful trip to the beach where we found hilarious people, got good old fish and chips, and dug some booby traps. Mike couldn't come because he spent all his money on a BUZZ LIGHTYEAR COSTUME (pictured above). We were the only people in costume at this party... we then walked back to mine at 1am, me in my pyjamas. I swear to God, if he wears that costume to prom...

How's your Easter going? -™ xo

2011-04-21T07:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday night I spent the whole evening with Mike's family. We let some lanterns go off into the night, in the hope they'd find Mike's grandpa, wherever he is now. <3

oh comely and other delights

2011-04-20T02:16:00.000-07:00

All photos copyright Tim Walton and Oh Comely magazine.

I have two things to share with you guys on this lovely sunny day. Firstly, some, ahem, better photos from my trip to Italy - these bad boys were taken by Tim, cos his camera is considerably cooler than mine. The next are from a gem of a magazine which I found in a WH Smith in a service station on the way to Italy - Oh Comely magazine. My friend Erin told me about it, and when I saw it I just had to get it. Dream-like photos, birds in hats, a travelling photo booth and uses for old cotton reels - what more could you want, really? -™ xo

VIVA L'ITALIA

2011-04-17T03:24:00.000-07:00

Ciao! I HAVE MISSED YOU GUYS! Just got back from a 24 hour coach journey from Italy... the trip was amazing, when we weren't skiing we were raving it up at this place called the Magic Pub which played German pop music and everybody danced on tables. There was a lot of drama, a lot of laughs, and I got to speak quite a bit of French oddly enough, as there were Belgian people in our hotel! Didn't learn much Italian though ... except for "Arrviderci" "Ciao" and "Pollo" (Goodbye, Hello, and chicken. All I need really.)

SUNDAY SINGLE OF THE WEEK : Noah and the Whale - L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

Isn't it strange how bad things can all just happen at the same time? Mike and I lost two loved ones pretty much on the same day. It makes you think of all the things you forgot to do, how you wished you were closer to them, things you forgot to tell them. I had him there to comfort me when I found out, but he didn't have me there when he did. Send him huggy vibes people. - ™ xo

we got the dreamers disease

2011-04-06T23:43:00.000-07:00

I LOVE YOU ALL. PLEASE LEAVE ME SOMETHING TO READ FOR WHEN I GET BACK?

polaroids

2011-04-04T12:26:00.000-07:00

Before you think that I'm really insanely cool/ a bit of a hipster, I don't actually own a Polaroid camera. (sad face) I have a program on my Mac called Poladroid which lets me turn ordinary pictures into sexy polaroids ... AS IF BY MAGIC! Sorry for no outfity type things, it's just that I've been in uniform cos of school and shizz, which means I haven't been wearing anything particularly interesting. MIKE AND I ARE GOING SKIING ON FRIDAY! :D This means turning up at school in a bright blue hoodie, and bright green maternity trousers (for comfort on the coach, of course) ... so that should be fun. See yalz later. -™ xx

abacus, abacus, teach me how to count

Cardigan - H&M Shirt - Thrifted Shorts - Next

OMG LOL at my double chin in those outfit pics. Deary me. The first photo is my ear piercings, I recently got my second one done, and I'm very happy with the result. Soon I'll be able to get number earrings and wear the date! The next ones are some pictures I took in my Mum's studio. Then, I found this little message written on the inside of my wardrobe... I wonder who that could have been? Possibly the guilty-looking Mike in the next photo? Those are all ones from our friend Ethan's party last night. Loving all the toasts you guys gave me in the last post... -™ xx

remember, what the doormouse said

2011-03-30T06:31:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! These are some photos I took late Autumn 2009. I found them this morning and was like 'WOW, I have to edit these, I forgot all about them!'

The weather was really sunny and spring-like last week and this week it is RAINY AND GREY! Nooo! What is happening! Completely got my hopes up, only to have them shattered like a hipster having to buy something on a CD instead of vinyl.

Ethan's birthday present arrived... I can't wait to show you guys. :3

THE TIME REALLY HAS ARRIVED

2011-03-29T00:09:00.000-07:00

welcome to the house of fun

2011-03-27T08:11:00.000-07:00

Well that was a lot of pictures, sorry.
Anyway, this was the result of the mod/ska themed party. Not many people stuck to the dress code unfortunately, though us girls did curl our fringes and apply red lipstick. The guys wore suits... except for Mike who is wearing my jacket for most of it. The whole night was a hazy drunken blur, we found out some very strange things, and I walked back to Mike's house with 'Charlie Sheen wins' written across my chest...

they only want you when you're 17, when you're 21, you're no fun

Well hey there. Here are some photos from a recent shopping trip... Sometimes it's fun to just try stuff on, even when you know you're not going to buy it!

Tonight is FRIDAY FRIDAY, GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDDDAYYY (if you don't understand for some strange reason CLICK HERE) and I plan to dress up as a pizza and run around a church. Then the night after is a mod/ska themed party :) So there'll be plenty of pictures this weekend to share with you guys!

It's been really sunny today, and what better way to face the sun than walking around in some awesome Lacoste shades? OK, OK, I am completely broke, I did NOT buy these. Mike gave them to me after deciding they were too girly. How could I refuse? :3

the boy with the thorn in his side (MY COMMENT BOX WORKS AGAIN)

2011-03-23T10:15:00.000-07:00

These are just some photos that came up on my Tumblr dashboard. I'm not in the mood to take photos at the moment. I'm in such a bad mood, even though it's such a lovely day. Just everything happened to piss me off and stress me out today. Sometimes being a girl sucks, doesn't it? Ah well, won't go into it, just had a massive rant on my Tumblr :3 Plus, how cute is that deer? Oh my, I do love deer. They really are my favourite animal...

And on the upside, my comment box is working again. So what do you guys think of this new layout hmm? :)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

2011-03-22T15:01:00.000-07:00

just as I think I've found the perfect layout, my comment thing doesn't work!? I don't know if it's just my computer, or maybe you guys just don't like me (sad face) but when I click 'Post a Comment' nothing happens? Oh this is very very bad...

Very sorry for the technical difficulties.

Proper post soon.

SUNDAY SINGLE OF THE WEEK - The Cure: Lovecats

I've had this song in my head all week, and it became all the more relevant when we went shopping and we decided to try on some tiger print onesies in Primark. They are actually the comfiest thing ever. I recommend them. Other than that, just another boring outfit post today, soz. I've decided to go back to my side fringe... my centre parting kept falling flat, which was really annoying!

Oh yeah, I finally managed to get the blogging layout of my dreams. :) Sorry I keep changing it, but this one is The One! Speaking of The One, I'm going to Mike's today and then I've got my last ever Drama Competition, and it's Improvisation, so we get given some titles and have to come up with something to perform in 10 minutes! Agghhhh!

P.S Aren't slim brown belts just the best?

I am the ghost in the back of your head

Cricket Jumper - charity shop Baseball Tee - New Look Levi's - Thrifted Tights - River Island

These are a couple of collages I've made for my Photography project. I'm not really sure about them, but I'll see what my teacher says ("Tegan, these are awful, I don't like this, I don't like this, and I ESPECIALLY don't like this. Here is a list of things that you need to do"). And then a couple of outfit posts for today. I find that I just can't be bothered with a coat nowadays, too stuffy, so donning a jumper is the perfect solution...

Last night was this Friday Late Skate thing at the local ice rink, which was quite fun, except for all the shit music. Ed wasn't really enjoying himself (he thought he was gonna be seeing a movie) so we left a little earlier and went on a night time stroll, which was a bit random.

ooh, lookie here...

3. I gave a presentation about a poem by T.S Eliot today.

4. I'm right handed, but I used to be ambidextrous.

I've been ill today :( on Saturday, I fell on the ice when I was skating and smacked my head and my neck. I've also kind of got a cold coming on, so these things paired together, and after a long week end of acting and shizz, I need a break! Last night I watched The Virgin Suicides, which is AWESOME. And today I've been reading 'The Matchmaker of Perigord' which is a quaint little book about a French barber living in an ugly town who decides to become a matchmaker.

As well as this, I've been taking pictures of random things like my favourite shoes, cookies, and my dog, and texting Mike about baby names... just, you know, for the future...

suddenly I see

2011-03-13T01:22:00.000-08:00

These are some pictures of me for my Photography project, "self image". I plan to stick stuff on it like a collage to detract some of the attention away from my gormless face, however...

The Drama thing went really well, Ellie and I came SECOND, by 1 point! And we got 90/100 marks, which is equal to Oustanding! We were up against another pair of girls in our class, and two pairs of guys who we didn't know. The first ones didn't even introduce their piece, but it was pretty funny. And then the second pair were sooo posh it was unbelievable. One of them waffled on at the beginning about "yes, yes, I wrote this piece myself, I decided that..." it was like, um, OK, get on with it tah. BUT US GIRLS BEAT THOSE SUCKAZ!!!

I've got a group performance today, and a solo mime, which should be fun... hopefully things will stay uphill.

SUNDAY SINGLE OF THE WEEK - KT Tunstall: Suddenly I See

I don't know why I've suddenly got this in my head...

a pixel lost on a computer screen

2011-03-12T02:44:00.000-08:00

ain't we sweeties.

FIRST OFF - 100 FOLLOWERS! YAYYYYY! :D You guys are all really really really really really cool! I want to hug all of you!

Today I am performing a piece at a Drama Festival about these two sisters who's Dad has been sent away in the Faulklands War, and their Mum had an affair. Pretty heavy. I'm kind of nervous to say the least.

Last night was the Quiz Night at the local Football Club. Our team, The Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, LOST! Ah well. Most of the other people there were like forty anyway.

I GOT THE NECKLACE REPAIRED! Free of charge as well. Booyah. Should I start a video blog? I dunno. I mean, I know my British accent is sexy. But still. Me and Mike filmed a reaction video to this kid called James Carson in our school, who is this little kid who films random stuff like grapes. Here we are reacting to this THIS VIDEO:

Unfortunately, we are putting on Southern American accents. So you can't hear my real voice... yet.

to be the height of cool, one must always keep the tag on their glasses

Some photos of me and Erin from absolutely ages ago. I can't wait until summer, SRSLY. The day we took those pictures with the John Lennon glasses, we wore denim and we made a treasure trail through town. It was a good day...

I BROKE THE NECKLACE THAT MIKE'S GRANDMA GAVE ME :'( Going to the jewelers today. UGH! I'm such an idiot... Also, my Formspring has quietened down considerably. Where is everyone?!

hipsters and hairdos

2011-03-07T13:41:00.000-08:00

the down and way - top knot - side plait. These are my three fave hairstyles at the moment. I really don't have any other photos to share with you, which really is very very silly because I've got a Photography exam next week. 5 hours in the same room?! Merde. And then the same thing next week. UGH!

Here are some hilarious hipster photos I found on l'Internet. The most commonly used phrase amongst my friends now is "WHAT A F*CKING HIPSTER!" ... these are some from movies etc. which I found HULARIUS:

Well if you didn't know what a hipster was, I hope that helped.

Ethan... you're amazing. Chin up babe.

Oh yeah and just so you guys know, MIKE ISN'T COLIN FIRTH'S NEPHEW. Where did that come from?! Hahaha. Random much.

Well see you guys

Some photos from my Tumblr. That first photo, I absolutely LOVE. Sorry, I just haven't taken any pictures recently. Is that why you guys aren't leaving me much toast? TALK TO ME! :'( My Photography exam is in two weeks, and I'm starting all over again in a sketchbook. So it's gonna be a lot of work.

The title of this post is from Brimful of Asha by Cornershop, which is my tune at the moment.

Two quotes of the day today...

1.) "Tegan, you're the sort of person who would just go into labour simply to ruin one of our events" - Tommy G

2.) "You want to speak to Layn? OK hang on one second... oh wait, she's naked" - my Dad. I mean, you don't just say that on the phone!!

My Formspring is getting funnier and funnier by the day.
