Half OOTD, Half Haul

Image
I haven't posted in so long! I've been missing my blog all week but I've been so busy and tired from being back at college and I had nothing I could quickly whip up. I can't work out what kind of post this is, it's half a haul, half a OOTD but it's also just me talking about another day up town -it's multi purpose, to make up for all the posts I haven't been putting up all week.  So, a few weeks ago on Valentine's day when I went up town, we had a quick look in Primark because Primark actually do a-mazing slogan tees I'm obsessed with every one they do. I fell in love with several as usual, but I also fell in love with a pair of sweatpants -I'm not usually a sweatpants kind of person. If I want comfort I'l stay in my pj's all day... but these ones had emojis going down the leg... and they had a hash-tag on them... it's really cheesy and quite tacky but since leaving the shop I haven't stopped thinking about them. So going b

I'm on time for once, it's a Monday and this post is going up, on a Monday. Fourth time lucky... 21 Guns (Cast Version) - Greenday , I've said in a previous post how much I love the song 21 guns so when I came across this I knew I'd love it. The song is so beautiful, I love what they done with it and I love how they still kept the rock side to it even though it's essentially a choir. And oh my God on the second verse when Billie comes in... I die! I just love everything about this song. Check Yes Juliet - We The Kings , I wanted to hear the original of this as it's one of my favourite fetus 5SOS covers and I love it We'll Be A Dream - We The Kings ft Demi Lovato, everyone in the world has probably already heard this song except me, it came up after listening to Check Yes Juliet and I can't stop listening to it, I just want a pillow fight as cool as the one in the video.. This Is Gospel - Panic! At The Disco , there are not enough words

A New Member Of The Family

I didn't get another post up yesterday, I'm still really ill and I've barely had any sleep for the last two nights. College starts again on Tuesday so my posts will go back to the usual routine of -probably- no posts from Tuesday to Thursday, depending on what time I get home on those days. I'm not mentally prepared to go back, especially when I'm full of flu and laryngitis... Yesterday I left the house, it took me forever to do so because I was too ill to move but I left eventually. We went into a pet shop and made the mistake of looking at what rabbits they had. As usual we fell in love, and accidentally came home with a new bunny. He's adorable, he's a mini-lop, pure bred by breeders, but they couldn't sell him and passed him on to a shop. He's chocolate-y brown and we think  we're going to call him Buttons, but the name keeps changing each time we call him... He's so friendly and he's settling in perfectly, I'm in love with him!

How To: Rip Your Jeans

Image
I didn't manage to get a post up yesterday, and I shouldn't  be having a post up today, because right now, I should be round my friend's house watching movies and stuffing my face... however once again, I've been struck with the flu. Having it once in one winter is enough to ruin me, but twice.. I'm not sure my body can physically take anymore illnesses. I'm still spending my day watching movies just without stuffing my face and without my friends and gossip and giggles and...sigh. However, I do have a post and it includes my favourite item of clothing currently, something I haven't been able to take off since making them. (kind of making them) Jeans with rips in their knees is the newest 'craze' but I couldn't find the right pair when I went to buy some. So I thought I'd be really daring and rip some myself. I bought my jeans from Primark, I didn't want to spend loads of money in case I absolutely ruined them.. I cut a l

Valentine's Day

Image
This post has been a long time coming. Four days late... Okay so maybe not a long  time coming. I wanted to post this earlier on in the day but I happened to be dealing with an intense situation and my life fell apart momentarily -but I needed to remind myself to stay strong, keep my head up and be an independent woman. What I say goes, I choose who I have and who I don't have in my life and I need to be comfortable with cutting off attachments with people who do nothing for my life in a beneficial way. I need to learn to be my own person, I need to gain confidence within myself to say "you know what, I don't need you. I need me and I need my own happiness ." That's a bit of a personal thing to share but I felt like it fit with Valentine's day quite a bit. On the run up to Valentine's my social media was crammed with single girls getting themselves down because they didn't have anyone to spend Valentine's day with and a lot of people were saying

Happy Pancake Day (pancake recipe)

Image
I was going to upload my post from Valentines day today but I thought, for once, I should should post something on the actual day that something happens. As today is Shrove Tuesday we made pancakes, and if I delayed this post until tomorrow it wouldn't really mean anything.. neither will my Valentine's post if I leave that until days after the actual day.. but that's more to do with a day up town and doesn't really have anything to do with Valentines itself, and I am rambling so  much right now! This is how I made my pancakes this year: Ingredients 110g plain flour 1 pinch of slat (which I've just remembered I completely forgot to add) 2 eggs 200ml milk 75ml water 50g butter Toppings Lemon juice Sugar Butterscotch syrup Strawberries 1. Add the 75ml of water to 200ml of milk 2. After putting the flour into a bowl, create a cove and add the eggs. Whisk the eggs while gradually adding flour from the cove. 3.  Once whis

I feel like I've been barely posting on here even though I'm doing and planning stuff for/to my blog everyday, it's Monday so that means my third part of the Currently Listening To series. This week has been music mad  I've had my spotify playing constantly and I have a few new favourites... All Time Low - Lost in Stereo , last time I said I'd be mentioning more ATL songs, I currently only have the one. I heard this song round a friends house and started singing along.. I don't how I know the song but it brings a long string of childhood memories every time I listen to it so naturally I haven't been able to stop, reminiscing at my chldhood on a daily basis (or hourly) All Time Low - Sick Little Games , I know I just said I only have one ATL song but this song is playing right this very second and I love it and I know I'm going to be obsessed with this so I'm writing it now. Oh wow Hello Brooklyn is playing now I think I love that too! P

Wanderlust

(source) On Friday night, I was suddenly hit with the travel bug, and I spent hours on the internet looking at pictures of people who have traveled places. Travelling the world has been my biggest dream since I was old enough to know there was more than just England, as a result I stayed up until 3am mentally planning my world roadtrip. The idea of hiring a classic camper van and just hitting the road with a suitcase, a camera and my best friend is so appealing. I want to experience every culture and I want to visit every part of the world. My two biggest travel dreams is to tour America and tour Europe, in this post I'm going to speak about the things I want to experience on an American tour. (visiting every state is automatically included) (I'm going to sound extremely touristy) California , I'd dreamed for years about living in LA, everything about the place seems perfect; the beaches, palm trees, the weather, the clothes, the food, the city, the mountainous kind

Could You call This An OOTD?

I've been neglecting my blog a bit this past week, I was writing posts but I never got round to posting them, the usual college has been tiring me out and things never get round to being done (yes, including college work) but I was on a walk a few days a go and I worn my creepers again which I haven't done in almost two years so I naturally took a few photos and I thought I could do a sort of outfit post -it's not brilliant or expert I was just fooling around having a bit of fun. Also -side note- I took a photo at a train station on the tracks.. there was a sign saying trespassers will be fined £1000 but I really wanted to take this photo, while I was on the track a train came and the barriers went down leaving me stuck on the track. However the sensors on the barriers detected me and they froze and opened letting me through. Then everything went wrong, the barriers broke because they didn't know if I'd come through and after the train passed they never fully opened

How To Survive Winter

Image
The evenings are getting lighter and spring is  (finally!!! Hallelujah!!!)  on the horizon however it seems to be the coldest it's been all year, with odd snow showers, a constant frost and steamy breath outside and inside the house. I for one, can-not stand  the feeling of being cold, having to wait around for buses to get to and from college in sub-zero temperatures and pitch black sky is absolute hell. So I thought I'd share my winter lifestyle and how I keep warm/cope with winter until my knight in shining armour, Summer comes to rescue me. (source) First of all, as bad as this sounds -and you shouldn't do it everyday  but stay in bed as much as much possible , I do homework in bed, blog in bed, everything! It's the warmest place in the world and your bed is sooo much more cozier and warmer when its wintertime. Hot chocolate, hot chocolate, hot chocolate!  Nothing is more perfect than sitting down with a cute mug heating up your hands, cream and marsh

Well I can honestly say this 'series' type thing has gone down the pan already... and by the second week. It's a day late and I haven't been listening to that much new music but I do have something  to post about new songs so I guess that counts for something... Somethings Gotta Give - All Time Low   Starting with the now-not-so recent single by ATL, I'm not a huge fan of them because I haven't heard much from them, but it's a band I've been meaning to get into so after liking this song maybe next week I'll have a bit more to say about them... I'm still loving the Fall Out Boy album, but the highlight music this week has been the American idiot album by Greenday. Last week I said I liked Boulevard of Broken Dreams and then I saw their album in the shops and couldn't not  buy it. It's now become my favourite album and they're all I've really listened to all week some of my favourites are: Jesus of Suburbia - Greend

A January Round-up

Image
The first month of the new year is gone, usually everyone's resolutions are officially down the drain by now so I want to do a round up after each month on how the past month has gone and how my resolutions are going. I kind of want to avoid the topic of resolutions as I haven't even started them yet... But they are  in process of coming together, I have been more organised but I haven't been handing in college work on time or organising my time efficiently. But I've been getting up earlier and I've managed to catch every bus to college on time (which still isn't good enough for my teachers but there ya go). I've spent all of this month ill with something  so it hasn't been the best start of the year and at some points my life seemed to be completely falling apart but that's where the start of next month comes to save us all, things are coming together, my illnesses have (hopefully) gone now and my resolutions can start to set in place. My main goal
