Polyvore my life away

Yesterday evening I went to Hampstead fun fair with some friends and then chilled and ate crepes with my friend Hara, i took a few photos which i shall show you all soon but they aren't exactly exciting, so soz!!!!!!

I spent a whole 8 hours in the library today so i have gone slightly INSANE, so polyvore has been my cure this evening. Thought i'd share my creations with you, they're really simple but rather snazzy if i may say so myself.

I'm sure its quite evident that i blog about pretty much anything that tickles my tastebuds at the time but i think the time has come to say, IF YOU HAVE ANY REQUESTS FOR SOMETHING I CAN DISCUSS/REVIEW/WRITE ABOUT/BLA BLA BLA, JUST COMMENT SOMEWHERE AND I SHALL ENDEAVOUR TO DO SO DEARYDOOOS!

The Great Gatsby

Today, as it was a bank holiday, I went on a family trip to the cinema to see the one and only 'The Great Gatsby'. To be honest, I hadn't even heard of it until last week but everyone has been going absolutely mad over this film so I felt i had to see it, despite not having a clue what it was about.

People have said it was unbelievable and left them speechless, I don't mean to be a party pooper but I wouldn't go that far. My view is, overall it was a really good film and the cinematography/effects etc were absolutely outstanding, but for someone that has no idea of the plot, the storyline was absolutely BIZARRE and rather hard to follow. To begin with it just seemed to skip from one random scene to another. Also, am i the only one that found it rather peculiar that it was set in the 1920's yet Jay-Z was booming in the background during certain scenes?

HOWEVER.

Leonardo DiCaprio. Say no more. He is God. He alone made the film worth seeing in my opinion. It seems that he just never gets older and his looks just get better and better. I don't want to say too much about the film itself as I don't want to give too much away but i'm just going to leave you with a few pictures of Leonardo as Gatsby so you can gawp over them...

If you haven't seen the film yet, I definitely recommend it, even if all you get out of it is staring at good ol' Leonardo

Green with envy

I've spent the entirety of this evening having a one sided conversation with my cat whilst watching a documentary about transexuals... sounds exciting doesn't it? Well, it wasn't. 
AND
Whilst i sat doing this, my parents were at a Muse concert. I'm not a massive fan of Muse or anything, although i do think they're a good band, but i am absolutely overflowing with envy. To be quite honest, live music is amazing whoever the artist, I just love the atmosphere and being part of the crowd. My mother dearest recorded a few of their songs that i like for me and it looked like a really brilliant show, flames, fireworks n all sorts... snazzzzzy! 

I have to mention how brilliant some of the Muse album covers are, I don't know what is it but theres something about them which I find really fab.

And for any of you that haven't heard their music before...

Nightynight loserz!!!!!!

It's a time of change

Heyho all you lil slothbags! So, today i have managed to irritate every single person i've conversed with, so I thought it sensible to spend the day alone. I spent an entire ten minutes attempting to revise some Biology but soon lost interest and went for a little stroll.

I haven't done anything particularly ravishing and therefore won't be sharing anything great with you but i've spent rather a lot of time thinking about deep, philosophical things lately.

Something that has been on my mind a lot is change. Partly because a lot of changes are happening in my life at the moment i guess, and it's something that fascinates yet terrifies me. 
This is so perfectly true..

And on the topic of change I've been making a few collages showing how things have changed over time in my life, slightly pathetic, and very time wasting but yeah..

Random, rather bizarre post i know, but i'm just speaking my thoughts.

Hell week

I feel obliged to start by apologising for my lack of posting, I assure you I have not abandoned you all! This week has been what is commonly known in the world of year 11 students as 'hell week' ... basically I had a TON of exams and therefore my blog was neglected ever so slightly, but HEYHO here i am!

Today I went to Oxford Street with mother dearest in search of a prom dress and it was a SUCCESS!! I described what kind of dress I wanted in a post a few weeks ago and I found something absolutely perfecto, here it is ( and my new heels ) ...

The dress is from Bershka and the shoes from Aldo... I confess, i have spent the past two hours walking around my house in the outfit like a total goon.

Hope you've all had a lovely week and didn't miss my posts too much lol xo

Oh so grunge

Today i was in a really awful mood so i decided some retail therapy was needed so i started browsing through clothes websites.
That got me thinking about how trends come and go and how 'grunge' is now suddenly the 'in' thing. However, i don't know if i'm alone in this view but our recreated 'grunge' just does't live up to its original. I started looking at photographs of the likes of Johnny Depp and Kate moss in the 90's and they look so unbelievably effortlessly cool but somehow these days it always seems to look like one has put a ton of effort into their 'grunge' look.

Anyway, i concluded i love the look of the 90's and their effortless style and if i could, i'd go back in time so i could be a teen in the back then.

Ok, it's been a long week and i'm aware im probably making absolutely no sense and i do apologise. I'll just show you some of the photos i've been looking at instead of waffling on...

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Smile for the camera

A few weeks ago I did my art GCSE which involved doing a ten hour final piece, which for me was a painting. The day before, i called upon my wonderful cousin and had a mini photoshoot - the theme was Force and I was focusing on movement and dancers and flowing materials, nonsense like that. It was great fun because I got to spend the day taking photos, something I love, AND the photos had a purpose. 
I thought i'd share some of the photos with you, they aren't great quality and the backgrounds are awful (my kitchen door!) but they were the best we could get with such little time and space. I was aiming to capture her graceful movement somehow, so here you go...

N'aw isn't my cousin beautiful xo
