Busy Bee.

I have just got back from Download and now I'm getting ready to jet off to London! I'm sorry I haven't been around but y'know busy, busy bee! While at Download I saw so many differenty styles of Dr. Martens and it reminded me of why I love them so much! I used to own a couple of pairs (which my Mum has stolen now; yeah she's actually majorlly cool like that) and I miss them! Maybe not the perfect summer boot but I do feel like I will get some new ones soon! Here is a selection of some of my favourites which are out at the minute! x

Click here for the UK Dr.Martens store.

Also at the minute the site has 15% off all styles! Go grab 'em x

Tuesday Treats!

Why is it the day after bank holiday weekend its sunny?!

As you'll know I'm from Newcastle and the weather has been awful at the moment, its rain and windy alllll  of the time and its hugely annoying! However today the weather has started to cheer up a little today which is nice and filling me a little with hope for the upcoming summer.

 
(Umbrella:Raindrops. Leather jacket: Rick Owens. Lilac dress: Mdcloth. Rayban style sunglasses: H&M. Biker wellies: All Saints.)

I love the mix of girly with the hard lines of leather jackets, hopefully this summer I will conquer this look! :)
I included an umbrella because, well we're in Britain of course it'll rain this summer! xx

Peepers Protecters.

It's getting to that time of year when you'll need some beautiful sunnies! Here are just some of my favourites, you can find out all info for them, here. I really wish I suited round glasses as I feel I could totally rock some of these! xx

Craving Summer.

(Necklace, Matalan. Vest Top, H&M. Cardigam, Topshop. Straw Hat, Dorothy Perkins. Denim Shorts, H&M. Wedges, heel.com and Sunglasses, kirnazabete.com)

It has been quite nice weather this weekend and I hope it continues. I really wish, like reeaaallllly, that I was shorter so could get away with wearing wedges/heels on a day-to-day basis. Humf!

Summer Tune: You can be your own spotlight.

How good is this song?! So summer-like and just awesome, really. Proper uplifting to be able to see people's talents, no matter how weird they are!

Do you have any weird talents? xx

FIRST DAY OF SPRING!

And my gosh am I excited! Not as excited as some people I know who have casually decided to now officially adopt shorts until winter but hey ho, each to their own. I have been completely missing in action regarding blogging and I apologise. I just have a hell of a lot of work to do on top of my normal routine; we only had 5 weeks of uni in between two placements. I love placement though and cannot wait to find out when my next one is!

Even though I have decided against the shorts, I am so excited for some warmer weather; the weather has been lovely here lately. I have been out and about and not feeling freezing, which of course is what I need!  Here are some photos from my last week; Rupert my puppy, how lovely the weather has been and an essay that is currently in progress! xx

Springtime Muses.

As my blog has had, what I would call it, a Spring time makeover I thought I would create a set to reinforce this!

(Picnic basket, John Lewis. Shorts, Topshop. Plimsoles, Dorothy Perkins. Flower top, Tillys. Sunglasses, Chanel. Suncream, Nivea at Boots. iPod and iPhone, apple)

I really cannot wait until it is a bit warmer, I have only just managed to get around and buy myself a coat, which is a bit pointless, however this country is generally freezing so winner!

I want to be able to go out without a jacket! I want to have picnics and be with friends outside and not inside with a hot drink. I want to wear my beautiful sunglasses (even though I am wearing them while driving, it is not the same!) Ahhhh, warm and long days are the best!

I've just googled the first day of Spring and its the 20th of March, this has come as a massive blow to me. Buttttt, I am starting to buy suncream to go back into my routine or applying it from March onwards so that will make me feel slightly closer to the goal than not...hopefully!

What does everyone else love about spring? xx

Country Walks.

...and then it rained, but ofc.

My mum who was at work today asked if I could take my little puppy out for a walk today and of course I said yes as he is actually so cute! Walking around is nice but when by oneself can be a tad boring so I decided to take some photos. (Luckily my phone has an awesome camera as I've only just bought a new one today to replace the one which died!) Mostly to illustrate the lovely area I live in but also to mock my puppy who has been half shaven. He's a little lion, purely down to the fact he got too scared when the shaver got close to his face. A mission for another day I feel. 

Unfortunately the local forested area which is closest to me is under threat from a local business man who wants to chop half of it down to build a workshop when there is plenty of other options available. The final verdict on this hasn't been reached yet and I hope it doesn't happen as I've seen a group of deer and it would be awful if they were disturbed.

Doctor Who!... Once Again!

By now you've probably all guessed that I have a slight love for the Doctor Who series and all that jazz. So today me and my friendling decided to go to the Centre of Life to see the Doctor Who exhibition. Well of course I became click happy with the camera (so much so it died and I had to use my phone) and ran around squealing like a child. Needless to say I enjoyed it throughly and well I will go again.

Heres some photos of me and kelly. Kelly looking lovely and calm and me well, not so much.

Me being a Dalek, yes I am that cool. 

Kelly looking through the telescope from the Queen Victoria and the Werewolf Episode (yes I'm a nerd, and yes I paraded around knowing where every character came from)

The Weeping AngelS!

Kelly and the Tardis, I will own one.

Yeahhhhh, I'm part of the Slitheen Family.nomnomnommm.

Doctor Who makes the cool kids cooler.

lolz

Total Insanity!

What the helllllll?!

Seriously, if someone can explain these ugly, vile creatures to me I would very much appreciate it.
The only good point I can see is that it's a knock back to childhood when we used to play with lego or similar construction toys. However I never built shoes, maybe I was deprived.....

Just URGH!

Here we are Juggernaut!

"No this is not your playground, 

it's my... heart!"

So yesterday, that time came again when I would once more be in the presence of one my all time favourite bands, Coheed and Cambria! They always deliver and well I just pure love them! It was a bit of a hassle to get the tickets it has to be said as I had ordered them as soon as I had recieved the email to only realise on the day (I know I should have realised earlier) that the tickets had not arrived! So panicked and with very little time I  tried ringing the O2 academy, and then tried to log in to every ticket website going as fortunately my email had been hacked a few weeks earlier in which everything was deleted! Which of course only added to the ever increasing amount of drama surrounding this! 

 So, Kelly and I decided to go through to town early to try and sort out the problem to only be told, 3 hours later, by the bank that the tickets had been refunded to me but I had not been told! Not Amused!!! Luckily a friend had two spare tickets and I was able to purchase them which made my day :D Anyway, the gig was amazing! Apart from the support band called 'These Monsters' who we saw getting high outside to only come out on stage and be utterly terrible. Maybe in their head they were awesome as the only understandable line they said throughout their entire set was  "WE ARE SO TOTALLY HAMMERED!" oh the joys! I wasn't able to get any photos as through all the commotion I forgot my camera *super sad face!* But heres a photo anyway!  

Another awesome time of yesterday was the beautiful skinny Ginger Muffin and Mocha Light Frappucino that Kelly and I got from Starbucks! In general I prefer Costa as I like their blend of coffee better but I have to agree this was yummy!  (This muffin is demolished, I got toooo excited!)

Summmmmmmer!

I know I've just posted but all my posts which I would have posted have been stored up and are all tumbling out now!
So a continuation of what has happened in the previous post!

As well as being given the Singer sewing machine I was also given a beautiful vintage frame which is well just gorgeous, at the moment my plan is just to hang it with nothing in the frame to make my chimney breast to become a feature wall, more so than now. I feel in time to come I may get a piece of mirror cut and placed into it as it would be beautiful!

I love it when my Mum buys flowers inas they just remind me of spring and summer (as our seasons seem to just mix together now!) and well we have loads of flowers dotted around the house as well as two gorgeous pink poppies in the garden, loveeee!

Lastly, here is my lovely puppy. He is quite old now, near 10 months! Well old compared to 9 weeks! I loves him more than summer.

I think I'm finished now and I'm posted out better get ready for more fun times and ofc to top it off toooooo much to eat! I love it! nom.

Hey Kids!

I've been back from Download for over a week now and it's been so hectic!
The weather has been delicous and every day has been a mini-adventure. I really need to start taking my camera out more, which will be resolved today, even though I don't feel I will get many taken!

Download was amazing! The weather the first couple of days was a bit dire and from that the happiness diminished but come Friday and lo and behold, the sun came out! Many smiles came with it, I can assure you. The bands were amazing and I throughly enjoyed it apart from being waken up to Justin Beiber's teenie weenie? song! What a loser start to the day! Well Justin Beiber plus the copious amounts of planes landing a mere mile away from our tent! (Photo being of Jared the God from 30 Seconds to Mars; he's beautiful but can't sing live. Disappointed but still pretty to look at! Apart from the budgie haircut)

Since I've been back I've caught up with all the washing and other things that need to be done when returning from a trip as well as being out practically every day just because!
When I am at home my life focuses around the Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls and toast. Oh what a life, not even a joke!

Oooooo exciting news! I have been given an old Singer Sewing machine which I just adore. I loved it anyway but then I found out it was ELECTRIC and well I've been making everthing ever needed! Even if I don't need it. I have a modern sewing machine as well but using the old Singer makes me feel a big antique-y and just well, its beautiful!

As well as this my Mother asked me to return a dodgy router to a store in Team Valley and well for some reason they gave me cash, so even though it wasn't my money and I know it's wrong, I became super excited and hit TK Maxx, naughty I know but I loveeeee it! I got a new French Connection top and a straw basket (to replace mine that I broke about 3 years ago! a bit late but still!) I decided to make a cover for the straw bag to keep prying eyes and hands from forming attachments with my belongings! It's beautiful and I loves it! (Bag TK Maxx, Material Laura Ashley)

 So overall, even though I've been near silent I've had a wonderful time and a fab start to the summer!

April Showers in June?!

So today is Sunday
Sunday the 6th of June
In three days time I will be sitting in a car heading off to the legendary monsters of rock/donnington and more commonly known now as Download Festival!
Woooooop!
I am very excited for this but what the hell is happening with the weather?!
I am officially cold blooded, like a lizard or snake, I find it incredibly difficult to warm up and when I do my temperature can drop immediately if I even walk into the shade!
On the other hand, I wouldn't say I was a sun worshipper as I burn soooo easily!
So as you can see Summer is a difficult time for me, wahhh. Ho hum.

Anywayyyy, back to the topic!

As much as I am looking forward to pile loads of win music and being with friends and probably eating as well as drinking excessively I really feel it would be more exciting without the rain!

(The current scene from my bedroom window!)

So when this is finished you will find me in my grey and miserable garden doing a sun dance!

YESSS I WILL HAVE SUNSHINE BY WEDNESDAY!

I may not be topless when I do it though!

Been Super Busy.

Hello Summer!

As I was driving home today I saw something that is so quintessentially summer for me!

I saw the first hot air balloon of the summer :) (well for me anyway!)

Here is a photo I took from the car, so don't expect quality!

(The lines across are from pylon line things)

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

Soooo I have naturally curly hair (duh) and as much as I love the idea of long luscious locks I know that it just will NOT suit my hair type, no matter how hard I try in cultivating it.
I find it very hard to find 1) a hairdresser who cuts curly hair well and, 2) when looking through hair magazines all of the models with 'naturally' curly hair are well, just curlers and fake.
At the minute, my hair is slightly longer than shoulder length and I may be brave and go super short.
Likeeee,

Overall, I just want nice hairrrrrrr.
So I feel I need to invest in beautiful hair jewelry such as:

Iron Man 2

I didn't realise all the bad press it had accumulated before I went to see it with the Nick-ster
(I know he reads this now, so I can name and shameeee!)
Butttt, I LOVED it!
Overall, Tony Stark reminded me looks wise; a little like wor' Davey Havok,
and his drunken self reminded me of an old friend!

The more I think about it the more I loved it!

Scarlett was in it, I kinda like her- I'm not overly sure though.
I only have one complaint.
Whenever females have a fight scene it always, always seems so pale in comparison to the males.
You may as well leave the lines on when she is spinning in the air.

Apart from that I would recommend it sooo much!
Whoever goes to see it next, can I come?
Just to perv again, that good? I'll meet you there :)! x

Ladies Who Lunch

I want to be a lady,

a lady who lunches

in high heels, pretty dresses and cream cakes

ohhhh and a huuuuuge hat!

I want to do all this, minus the cream; i hate cream, i think i am going to start.

excuse me while i meet with the girls for lunch

actually I don't tend to keep many girl friends as I tend to get along with boys better.

Maybe this plan is failing already! Oh dear, Boys Who Lunch?

Hmmmmm, no.
