i'm a spacebound rocket ship & your heart's the moon

Big apologies for not posting in over a week! My laptop charger got blown out by a dodgy extension socket thing in the mothers room, so I'm still waiting for a new one to arrive. I'm posting this from the main house computer, which I absolutely hate, but it must be done!

I've been home ill for the last few days, which is good because these days I'm so fed up of school, and simply cant be arsed, but bad because of all the work I'm gonna need to catch up on. Plus, tomorrow is result's day from the AS exams I did in January, so I'm not looking forward to seeing a big fat FAIL on the paper :( To make things worse, tomorrow is also the 4 year anniversary of my friends death (read about it here), so everyone's gonna be a bit bummed out :(

but on a lighter note, here's what I wore to sixth form on Monday. I'm not gonna do regular sixth form outfit posts, kuz I tend to wear the same thing, just swapping blazers & shirts.

[Blazer - H&M; Shirt - boohoo.com; Skirt - from the mother]

Here's a closeup of the shirt. It's such a beautiful shirt, floral design with pearl buttons. The only flaw is that it's not very well made - the button holes weren't closed up properly, so all the silky material is loose, causing the buttons to become stuck in them, I've lost so many buttons on it :(

My skirt is a mini pleated denim skirt that the mother bought for me a while ago. I'm not sure if it was designed to be high waisted, but that's the only way I can wear it, plus I think it looks so much better :)

And to finish the outfit out, I teamed it with my Vans that I got from Macy's in New York back in the summer of 2007. I love these shoes so much, but they have seen better days! I plan on keeping them until they actually fall apart (getting close to that time!)


That's all for now, I'll try to do a post summing up my favourite picks from all the Fashion Weeks (including Kate Moss & the cigarette!) some time this week!

xoxo, lizz

i miss you, i miss your smile.

Sorry i haven't posted anything this week, i just really haven't had the heart to do so. I've been lacking inspiration for writing anything, bogged down the the stress of exams and coursework and other irrelevant issues.

Saturday 10th March 2007, a close friend of mine died suddenly. She was only 13, but she had her whole life ahead of her. We were in year 8 when this happened, and it was such a shock to come into school on Monday morning to find out someone who you'd been talking to only a few days ago was dead, gone forever.
So on Tuesday 10th March 2009, on the 2nd year anniversary of her death, we held a memorial service at school. It was so sad, i promised myself i wouldn't cry, but after walking out onto the school piazza to see my friends crying, i couldn't help myself.

In the weeks after her death, people in our year and the year above went round collecting money towards getting some sort of memorial thing to be placed in school - we wanted a bench, a tree, and were considering a fountain - as their were benches for other girls in the school who had passed away. We managed to raise over £2000 in about 2 weeks! However, despite all our efforts and arguments with the senior members of staff at the school, they never got round to ordering any of these for us.
A year went by, and still no site of remembrance. Two years laters, we have a bench :) We made sure it was unique and special (the benches for the other girls' were just simple benches with a plaque), so we got little benches arranged into the shape of a T (her name was Teleola), and there was a plaque stand planted besides it.

I'd bought flowers that morning which i'd planned on taking to the cemetery, but put them by the bench instead, along with some others.
After school when we got to the cemetery, it was closed! The sign on the gates said it closed at 4 because of winter.
First of all, who knew cemeteries closed?! I thought they were open all the time, for people to just wander into :o & secondly, what's the winter got to do with anything?
So anyways, we laid the other flowers we'd got outside the gates, and sang a song outside the cemetery ^^

Why is she telling us all this? you're probably asking yourself now.
The answer is, i don't know. I made this blog so i could talk about random things, and get things off my chest. It's a place where i can say whatever i want and clear my head.

But the main moral of this post is just to live your life to the maximum, cause you never know what could happen.

I know you're up there somewhere, looking down on me, smiling that big smile of yours that never failed to light up a room.
