Orange ribbons in her hair


Got back from Portugal last night. It was actually much better than I thought it would be, spent two weeks sunbathing, swimming in the sea and just generally relaxing. Read three and a half books, listened to a whole lotta music, and drank a really ridiculous amount of mango ice tea. Also, managed to get quite a few wolf whistles (should I feel good about that?), a free nectarine from an old lady who thought I was Swedish, and for what seems like the first time in my life, an actual tan! x

  1. Pretty pictures, love the last one of the sunset, it's beautiful. I'm glad you had fun (: and that you got a tan! I'm another one of those girls where it's practically impossible to get a tan!

    well done on the tan - I hope you show it off by wearing brights! Which 3.5 books did you read?

    By the way, did you do GCSEs? I can't remember if they're coming out soon, or have been out already!

  13. If one of those 3 1/2 books finished was MiddleSex remember to give me your review!

    Your photos are as beautiful as you must have looked on vacation to warrant such a public outcry of adoration. I would say you can take a wolf whistle as compliment. I mean a "You are truly beautiful" is a bit classier but a compliment is still a compliment : )
