live laugh love

I want to spend all of my days laughing and smiling, speaking to the people that matter, watching the clouds float dreamily above me and finding pictures in them, singing and dancing in the rain, appreciating the sunshine by spending all day outdoors, discovering new films, music and books, cuddling up at night with a hot chocolate spending quality time with my family, painting my nails bright colours, dressing up just because I feel like it, helping people that need it, showing my friends and family how much they mean to me, loving with all of my heart, discovering new places, meeting new people and living each day like it could be my last.

andreas gursky

I love Andreas Gursky's photography. These are a couple of my favourites, I love how they are all so busy and bright, they are so captivating. My favourite is the last one, it is such a beautiful, interesting photo, I can look at it for ages just looking at the different people through the different windows.

Today I was more realistic about my bag choices from yesteday. I stayed away from the Marc Jacob beauties in Selfridges and wandered off to Topshop instead. Their pretty collection will have to satisfy me for now, when I can finally make a decision on which one I want!

dreaming bags

Ahh today was so, so, so, so cold! I was even freezing in my new winter coat, so tomorrow I shall go that extra mile and dig out my favourite Accessorize mittens and Topshop scarf. I think I will also need an umbrella because English weather is not very happy at the moment.
To add to the coat, scarf and mittens that I have all ready for the winter, I have decided to treat myself to a new bag because all of my old ones are either falling apart or the colour has faded. Now, I am not about to stop using them as I like to use my clothing/accessories until it is physically impossible. But a new bag would be nice. I have decided I want a black one because it goes with everything and I only have one black bag which I am getting a little bored with.
These are a few of my 'I wish I could buy these' bags. If I saved up I could do, but they are very very expensive for a college student!

1. Stella McCartney 2. Marc by Marc Jacobs 3. Mulberry
I can dream, can't I? One day, I will own a gorgeous bag like these.

I do have to say I am so, so annoyed that Laura has been voted off X Factor! She was one of my favourites, along with Diana, and I do not think she should have been voted off yet, especially when there are people who are doing a lot worse than she is. I just hope that she does make it regardless, she is certainly talented enough!

away with the fairies

I love being in a daydreaming mood, the kind where you cannot help but disappear inside your own thoughts. This happens very often, maybe it is something to do with me being a Pisces, if you believe in horoscopes, they are supposebly very daydreamy. It is so peaceful and relaxing and there is something special about being left to your thoughts. I love the situations and places you can imagine, something that would be impossible is suddenly the easiest thing to manage and it can be really helpful when I am sad or angry. The only thing about it that I find strange is being around other people when I am in this sort of mood. It makes me feel so detached and uninterested in what is going on. Also, I probably give off the impression that I am moody or unfriendly when really that is not the case. This happened to me today, but then again it could have been because of the fact I had to spend a bus journey with a very boring person and I would much rather dream about being in my own special fairytale.
At the moment this is what I'm dreaming of..

A trip to the beautiful Italy...

My very own magical castle...

And heart warming love...

Influence

"Sometimes you feel everything and nothing all at once. Sometimes you’ll find yourself smiling while missing someone at the same time. At times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them so badly. Life comes without guarantee’s, except that smiling will brighten your face, laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life."

From This is my heart. It is a good heart.

The Olsen's have definetely created a storm around the world, and it isn't hard to understand why. They are both beautiful women who are known worldwide as fashion icons, designers, actresses, authors.. is there anything these two can't do?
I am so so excited to read Influence. It isn't out in the UK for another few weeks, so any American's count yourselves lucky that it is already out there! I shall be rushing to buy a copy on the day that it comes out, but the only problem I have is which cover do I choose?!

Anyone have a favourite Olsen? Some people can't tell the difference, others love them both but I tend to alternate between them.. At the moment my favourite is Ashley, I love her style so much. Her outfit at the book signing above is gorgeous. I would very happily change places with either one of them given the chance!
Anyone who has already read the book what do you think?

busy little bee

Ah I have been so so so busy the past few days, so I've only just had time to blog. Finally finished all of my work though, which is a relief! My poor cat is absolutely terrfied of all of the fireworks. I like to watch them but the noises always make me jump. Is anyone going to be having fireworks for Bonfire Night tomorrow?
I am so tired that I can barely think of anything interesting to say.

These photos are by Brassai, I love the darkness of them, they look so mysterious and interesting.

oh happy shopping days

I can not believe it is November already. This year has flew by...

I woke up this morning to find I had a parcel in the post! Excitedly, I opened it up to discover a gorgeous necklace and a beauitful pendant that I had ordered from the ragsandscribbles store on Etsy. You should check it out, it's full of lovely handmade things that you won't be able to resist!


Aren't they lovely? :) I wore the necklace today and I can't wait to find a chain for the ballerina so she can dance from around my neck.
I then went shopping with my mum for college supplies (yawn) but we ended up in an amazing second hand store where I found the most perfect t-shirt dress and a lovely headband sort of thing.
So all in all today has been a good day so far - and it's not over yet!
I hope everyone had a wonderful halloween full of lovely lovely treats!
