Sweet dreams

I'm off to bed as i have a whole day of revision ahead of me (woo, cannot wait xo). I've had an extremely unproductive evening doodling and collaging. I'm going to post them here so you can all stare at them whilst I sleep (sounds creepy) but anyway, goodnight! 

and my favourite...

Sleep well,

Doodlin'

Now that my art GCSE is over i've been feeling deprived of creativity so i've started doing little doodles  and I thought i'd show you a little shitty one i just did.

It's a jokey animalised portrayal of body image issues/a load of nonsense..

Its stupid and pretty rubbish but yes, thats what i spend my time doing haha. Poor lil kitty xo

Car boot

I thought i'd tell you about some of my most impressive bargain hunting, don't mean to boast but my bargain hunting skills are phenomenal. When the weather is good i love love love going to car boot sales and having a rummage. If you live in London, go to a car boot sale in Dalston Kingsland ( i think thats what the place is called? ) because you can find the most amazing things there!

Heres what i got:

a jumper

shoes

blouse

jeans

dress

ALL FOR £13!!!!! 

I really recommend going to car boot sales if you can because it can be turned into a really lovely day out and the variety of stuff you find is brilliant. Take a friend and just go for a hunt around and you never know what little gem you may find.

Here are photos of what i recently bought at a car boot:

Sorry about the poor picture quality xo

I'm a versatile blogger, snazzy!

I've been nominated by Rosie (from Rosieandthewolf) for a versatile blogger award ( THANKS SO MUCH, TAKE A LOOK AT HER BLOG ITS BRILL XXXX )

So, here are the rules:

1)Thank the person that gave you the award.

2)Include a link to their blog.

3)Select 15 blogs to nominate for the award (soz, but 15 is not gonna happen)

4)Tell the person who nominated you and your readers 7 things about yourself.

Okay so here goes the seven facts...

1. When i'm older i want to be a travel journalist so i can travel the world and document my experiences, taking some photos along the way.

2. I've never bought an item of clothing online in my life... shocking i know. I spend a disgusting amount of time browsing online sites but can never bring myself to spend my non-existent money!

3. I've started about five blogs in the past but posted one rather pathetic post about my cats or something equally absurd and gave up... so if you search my name on google rather a few embarrassing blogs will appear. 

4. I don't like savoury food. I don't even mean i have a sweet tooth... i quite literally do not like savoury food, which is rather unfortunate. 

5. I LOVE singing and still have a childhood fantasy of becoming a famous singer however ridiculous and unrealistic that may be... a girl can dream! 

6. I'm going to sixth form in Camden next year just a few minutes away from the market and i absolutely can't wait, particularly considering i've been at school in the absolute middle of nowhere for the past five years.

7. I'm an absolute, total weirdo. Self confessed may i add. The only thing anyone ever has to say about me is 'haha Maddie you're so weird' or something fairly similar, but I LAV IT XXXX

Now for the nominations...

Georgiana

Irene

Olywyn

       Sorry thats no way near 15 but im sure you'll all survive 

  Anyway thanks again for nominating me, it means a lot because i only just started this blog so its nice to know at least someone enjoys reading it!

Got a few more things to post later,

Getting deeeep

I have my Religion and Philosophy GCSE first thing tomorrow morning so i obviously won't be able to post anything until later on tomorrow but I thought I would leave you all with some philosophical thoughts. They may bore you to death, if so, i apologise, but i love them. 

And last but not least...

Sorry for the really short, boring post but I really need to do some last minute cramming and go to bed!

Wish me luck,

Bikini body

With Summer just around the corner i'm sure i'm not the only one becoming increasingly concerned about my non existent bikini body! Somehow, and goodness knows how, i stumbled across an absolutely brilliant article which showed this picture....

I just think it is BRILLIANT! Such a breathe of fresh air from all these skinny/diet obsessive articles im always reading these days so i thought i'd share it with you all.

Vintage fair

This morning I really outdid myself with my procrastination and actually ended up at an antique/vintage fair at Alexandra Palace and it was absolutely wonderful. I went with my mum and it was full of little oddities, vintage jewellery, cameras, tableware, postcards and of course CLOTHES! I fell in love with a 60's chunky necklace but typically, it was £125 so i of course did not buy it. 

I have to say i find it absolutely ridiculous some of the things people seem to pass for vintage these days, on one of the stalls a man was trying to sell Harajuku perfume... um sorry babe but i can go down to superdrug and buy that? Absurd. 

Anyway, I did make a purchase - I got a green patterned button up dress with shoulder pads and it was only £12... BARGAIN. My mum also bought a really pretty broach encrusted with semi-precious stones which was really lovely. I would have loved to buy a little leather shoulder bag because I love the vintage bags, but i had to refrain as my bag collection is currently filling my entire room.

I'd better get revising, but here are some photographs i took, and there is a picture of my new dress...

I took the card for a few of the good stalls so here are a couple:
