pinch, punch, first day of the month

hurrah it's March! I hope you've all had a good first day of the month, and you're not sore from pinches & punches, or slaps & kicks! (Yes I'm 16, and yes me & my friends still do the whole 'pinch, punch, first day of the month' and 'slap, quick, for being so quick' :p)

just a quick outfit outfit post from what i wore to my sixth form yesterday. the dress code for my sixth form is supposed to be smart - matching blazer & skirt/trousers and a sensible shirt, but no-one really sticks to that. I wore my H&M blazer that I wear pretty much everyday, just because it's so comfortable and easy to put on ti smarten up any casual top. The plaid shirt i bought on Saturday from New Look, and I love it! I'm a sucker for a decent checked/plaid shirt, and I couldn't resist getting this for a measly £5 :') It's really long though, I had to make the shirt a bit baggy over my skirt, otherwise it would be hanging out from the bottom of my skirt! I might try it out over some leggings next time I wear it :)

I got this skirt back in like 2008 or so when I needed to quickly buy a skirt for a party, and (similar to the blazer), it's one of the staple items of my sixth form 'uniform'. It has a zip that runs all down the front of the skirt (which can be pulled down, as i have experienced from my lovely friends), but I wear it back to front so that the zip is at the back, simply because the zip causes a weird bulge to appear at the front....

My brogues are also from New Look, and have lasted me surprisingly long, considering how much I wear them! They are lovely and very practical, I would recommend these pair if you haven't got some!

That's all for today, off to watch Cougar Town (which is absolutely AMAZING) and attempt to do my French work :)
Good day to you all!

WISHLIST; New Look Wedges

For those who's blogs I've been commenting on lately, you will know that I have been searching for the right pair of wedges at the most affordable price for my poor student self. Today, me and my friend got out of school early and headed into the local New Look. In my opinion, New Look has one of the best ranges of shoes out of all high street shops, all being at affordable prices. From flats, to heels, to boots, New Look can provide you with any of your shoe desires at a minimal cost.

I headed straight to the shoe section, where i saw these beauties;

Gorgeous, right? I was settled on buying them, until i stumbled across these beauties;



It was love at first sight <3 I hopefully should be buying them tomorrow, i've already planned a million and 1 outfits for which I can wear them with :D

What do you think of them?

yeah baby, do that dance, it's the last dance you'll ever get the chance to do.

The weather over the last few days has been amazinggg, even though it's hard to get to sleep when you're sweating like a bitch. None the less, it's been pretty awesome. (Just I wrote that it started to rain :\ though it's still really hot.)
But anyways, on Saturday my brother had 2 parties to go to (he's learning to party hard at the tender age of 8 :p), and I had to pick him up from one and drop him at another. I had like, 2 hours to kill before needing to pick him up again, so I decided to get the bus down to Bluewater and do a bit of shopping ^_^
This is what I wore on Saturday (: (The first time I've had my legs out bare since I went to america in 2007! I felt kind of emotional stepping out of the house without any tights on :o!)

[Jacket - New Look; Top - Dorothy Perkins; Skirt - New Look; Necklace thing - Primark; Bag - Peacocks; Plimsoll things - Primark]

When I got to Bluewater, I just went window shopping, until I got to New Look, where I wanted to buy a Giles bikini for when I go to Spain in August, but unfortunately for me, they were all sold out.
So instead, I bought this strapless jumpsuit:

With it on:

I got it in a size 8, but it took a while for me to get it over my boobs, so I may have to exchange it for a size 10 :\

I also got this dress from New Look:

With it on:

Photos do not do this dress justice at all! I have so many ideas about how I plan on wearing this dress, I loveeee it :')

Anyways, that's all for now!
I have my Chemistry GCSE on Wednesday, so I must revise for that (Y)

Hope everyone's had a good Monday :)

P.S. I'm thinking of doing a vlog.. What do you guys think? :)

xoxo, oh so glam

je suis desole.

I would love to say that I've been extremely busy, that I've not had a second to spare in the last week, but unfortunately I cannot. There's no point lying, the truth is that, well, I just lacked inspiration to write anything.

And as much as I'd also like to say that so much has happened, that I've got sooo much to tell you all, frankly, there is nothing to tell. Like, at all. I've become a very boring person these days to be completely honest, I do nothing but sleep, eat and revise. Sigh.

However, I got my hair cut again on Friday. The last time I got it cut was the 3rd June 2008, the day before my birthday, and I got it cut into a sort of pixie cut thing. But yeah, that grew out, and it became far too long for my liking. So on Friday, I went to get it cut. This time, its far more choppy, with a fringe that's sort-of-a-full-fringe-but-not-really-at-the-same-time sort of thing :) And the back of my head is like, shaved. Not like bald or anything, but it's just like reallyyy short :) I love getting my hair shaved, I love the feeling of it on my head.. Weird, I know ^^ Anyways, enough rambling, you can see for yourself :)


One friend says I look like a little french boy.. Another says it's very Zachary Quinto in Star Trek (Spock), and then my mum reckons it's very Halle Berry-esque.. What do you think?

Anyways, random outfit from like weeeeks ago.

[Jumper - Disneyland Paris; Skirt - New Look]

My obsession with skirts is growing.

I hope everyone's had a good week so far :)

this is a longting starrrr.

The title of this post is highly relevant, as this may turn out to be quite long, considering how long i've not posted (okay it's been like 4 days, but that is pretty damn long!). However, i do not wish to give your eyes repetitive strain injury, so i'll break each day down into different posts. Starting with....

MONDAY.

Monday was the day of my cousin's 1st birthday (she's not really my cousin, she's more of a family friend but we're pretty close so i call her my cousin anyways), so we went round her house for a little shindig :)
It was pretty grooovy, i got abit drunk from mixing martini in my coke without no-one realising ahah :p
But erm yeah, this is what i wore:



[Blue sleeveless cardigan thingy - New Look; JLS top (underneath) - the JLS website; Wet look leggings - Random shop; Quilted chain bag - Dorothy Perkins]


I teamed this with a pair of not-too-high heels ;)

Tuesday, coming up!

dressed in black, i'm sure she's on crack

[I don't know, it randomly came into my head. I possible could've made it up, or it might actually be a song]

So today is Easter Sunday, the day when "Jesus" rose from the dead. (I put Jesus in inverted commas because i'm agnostic, so i don't really consider this as a religious day, it's a day when you can chillax and eat lots of chocolate :) but hey, that's just my opinion :D)
So basically i went out with my family for easter celebrations, and it gave me an excuse to dress up :) I wore the new dress i got from New Look. I've now managed to wear all my new items, excluding the Thumper tee in the space of a few days, woo :D
I wore it with my mum's blazer and my black&white lace up heeled brogues.




I then thought it needed a bit of colour, just to edge it up abit.

So today 17 Again was released to cinemas in the UK, and I (obviously) had to go see it as soon as it came out.
All i can say is that it was absolutely amazing. Putting aside the fact that Zac Efron looked soooo gorgeous, and Matthew Perry looked wonderful, and that Adam Gregory (Ty from 90210), even though he was only in it for like 5mins, looked beautiful, it was so funny! It would take me hours to say everything that I loved about the film, and I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't had the chance to see it yet! So if you haven't seen it, GO GO GO!

Anyways, I also did a bit of shopping, and here's what I picked up :)
H&M Thumper Tee + Layered Dress. I immediately fell in love with this top, as it matched the Thumper toy i got from Disneyland Paris when i was like 7 :D!



Topshop socks, River Island Floral & Leopard Print chain headbands.




HAPPY EASTER FOLKS :)

you're the missing piece i need

[This Is Real, This Is Me - Demi Lovato/Joe Jonas]

So today was the first day of a Journalism course me and my friend enrolled in for the Easter Holidays. It lasts 3 days, and we're gonna build up skills on journalism, asking and answering questions, and filming.
I'll admit, i had my doubts about it, but it was quite good. Today, we just worked on interview questions and working with filming equipment. The people running it told us that tomorrow we're gonna go out into central London and interview shop owners that have a mosquito device (a mosquito device is a device, usually installed by shop owners, which produce a sound at a high frequency that only teenagers/young persons can hear, to prevent loitering), and if it's really good quality then it will be broadcast on national TV :)
I'm not gonna show what i wore, kuz i wore something similar a few weeks back.

Anyways, after, me and my friend went to Bluewater, and i did me some well deserved shopping :)
Here are my goods:

A cardigan thing, and a dress from New Look:


Patterned tights, a pink belt & two headbands from H&M:


Floral Tights from Topshop, and a purse from Dorothy Perkins:



I'll put on some decent photos of my new stuff once i wear them out, which should'nt be too long away.
As for now, I must crack on with revision! I have to memorise everything in my history folder and textbooks. Lovely :\

It's the second day of the Easter holidays, and it's been okay so far I spose. I haven't done as much revision as I would've liked to, but i'm working on it xD
Yesterday i went out to go buy the 2 disc edition of Twilight, and this is what i wore out :) :

but all i really want is to hold you tight

[Sometimes - Britney Spears]

I was planning on posting last night, but got distracted by seeing Zac Efron's gorgeouss face on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway :o I'm seeing Zac this week, at the 17 Again premiere (his new film, also starring Matthew Perry, aka Chandler from Friends), and i will actually pass out if he even looks at me. However, i managed to compose myself when i actually HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM at the HSM2 signing in 2007, so hopefully it will all be okay :)

Swiftly moving on, the harem trousers i ordered came on Friday! I look recieving packages in the post aha, and these are gorgeous :) They are so comfortable to wear, and though the material is quite thin, they are so warm! (Soz for the crappy quality, i'm still working on getting a new camera):



On Saturday morning, i got a New Look magazine :) Because i'm a member of the mylook website, they sent me the latest edition of Most Wanted :) Filled with fashion goodies from New Look, and inspiring outfits to burst your way into Spring, it was a lovely read, including an interview with the gorgeous Alexa Chung. Also comes with a 20% discount card, either to use online or in store, which was pretty gravy :D



Today is Mother's Day in the UK (i dunno how it works in other countries), so me, my mum and my two little brothers went to Nando's for a meal :) Nando's is actually amazing, i swear i'm in love <3 And the weather was perfect today, but apparently tomorrow's gonna rain so that sucks big time :\ Here's what i wore:


[Jumper - Topshop; Grey vest (underneath) - Primark; Skirt - Peacocks; Tights - New Look; Studded Gladiator Heels - Peacocks; Bracelets - Random places]



Hope you've all had a good weekend, my fellow bloggers :)

why d'ya have to go and make things so complicated?

[Complicated - Avril Lavigne]

I cannot write much tonight, the amount of coursework + homework + revision i've got to do is actually unbelievable.
The other day, we were given the timetable for our science GCSE's that we'll do in June (ACTUAL GCSE papers :| for real man), but luckily for me, they start 8 days after my birthday (which is on the 4th june by the way *hint hint*)

Anyways, today after school, i went with my friend to Dorothy Perkins to return some jeans she'd bought yesterday but didn't fit her, and she decided she wanted to buy a top to wear out on Saturday. So we went into New Look (there are quite a few good shops in the shopping centre by my school, in Bexleyheath) to go look for a top.
Once in New Look, my friend immediately turned to me to find her a top and jewellry to go with it (i'm deemed as some sort of shopping assistant to my friends), she told me what she liked and i managed to find her something which she absolutely fell in love with. I also got her to buy this gorgeous necklace :)
While there, i got myself a lovely cropped bomber jacket, and a sequined beanie-ish hat :)





The photo doesn't do the hat justice, it's beautiful :) xo

[Black And Blue - Bring Me The Horizon] (they're my favourite band, ever)

I've been lacking in posts this week, and i apologize. I've just realised that I've apologized in the last couple of posts, I don't know why, it's just in my nature to apologise consistently. Also, is apologize spelt with an s or a z? Or is it just one of those things, like recognise/recognize? I've been pondering on these for ages now, so if someone can settle that for me then that would be great :D

Last night, i had a school trip to see Lord Of The Flies in a theatre by London Bridge. Lord Of The Flies is the book I'll be answering about in my english GCSE'S, and since i took drama for GCSE, i'll also be comparing the stage production of LOTF to another stage play. It was actually really good, compared to the book. For anyone who may not have had the chance to read it (luckily for you!), i'll sum it up in a few points:
- A group of young boys (between the ages of 6ish-13ish) have their plane crash on an island, while being evacuated from the war, and this island has no adults
- There's a fat kid called Piggy that pretty much gets bullied by almost everyone because he's fat with glasses and asthma, and he's the only one that talks much sense
- They choose a boy called Ralph to be the Chief of the island
- There's another boy called Jack who's the senior choir boy of a posh school, and he wanted to be the leader, but ends up being in charge of hunting
- They start a fire to create smoke, which they hope would be seen by someone so they can get rescued, but a little boy ends up being killed by the fire (the book tells us this indirectly)
- There's a boy called Simon who's the more philosophical boy of the group, who likes going into the middle of the forest to look at flowers and stuff, and he suffers from epilepsy and it constantly having fits
- Jack and Roger (a furtive boy who keeps to himself) go crazy with hunting and killing pigs
- They end up killing Simon (mistakenly.. sort of)
- The group splits, so Piggy, Ralph and some others are on one side of the island, and Jack, Roger and the others are on another side of the island
- Piggy gets killed
- They get rescued.

IT'S BORING. Except when they kill Simon, that's kind of exciting xD Anyways, the play was soo good! And all the guys were gorgeous and TOPLESS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE THING. So it was an hour and a half of watching gorgeous men run about like kids half naked. YUM.
This is what i wore :) :



[Blouse - New Look; Skirt - American Apparel; Black Cardigan - New Look; Grey Tights - Primark; Heart Necklace - Dorothy Perkins; Bracelets - Various places]


I bought the top and cardigan in the New Look sale earlier in the week, and I wore the AA skirt high waisted :) I wore my gladiator studded heels for the first half of the night, but changed them to my primark plimsolls after, purely for comfort reasons :)

Apologies (once again) for the longness of this!
