A moment, a love, a dream, aloud

2010-05-05T22:28:00.008+01:00

Can't believe how long it's been since I last blogged, so sorry! Since then so many good things have happened though...

I turned sixteen
I went to a few amazing parties
I sat the first of my exams
I finished art forever
and met some beautiful people!

That's all from me for now, but I'll try and be back when I can (:

Chloë Sevigny for Harper's Bazaar Russia, April 2010. She's gorgeous isn't she? I love the sepia shots so much! I'm a bit obsessed with all things to do with Alice in Wonderland at the moment too♥

Personally I found the film a little disappointing after all the hype, was kind of hoping it would be weirder! What did you all think? x

Topshop playsuit and bag, anyone want to buy me an early birthday present?

Today was the last day of term for me, no more school for two and a half weeks! I'm so happy right now, can't wait for this holiday, and this summer, I'm going to Americaaaaa! x

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, these last few weeks have been horrid.

I just ordered her new album, can't wait to listen to it♥

I had a pretty good weekend really, you? I spent Friday night with the boyfriend, saw basically all my family on Sunday and went shopping on Saturday, got the prettiest lace dress and actual brogues in Primark. Yes, Primark! This is what I wore, one of my many dresses from Thailand♥ The shopping there was amazing, I spotted lots of the same trends we have here at the moment - florals, lace, denim, even jeggings! - but everything is ten times cuter! Have a good week! x

dress: thailand, cardigan: my mother's wardrobe, black tights, converse.

Thailand was amazing and beautiful, I wish I could go back :'(

Counting the days on her fingers

2010-02-02T17:52:00.007Z

I really can't believe I am off to Thailand tomorrow! I probably won't be able to post for a while so here is a little list of things...

A film I watched recently

is Le Fils de l'epicier (The Grocers Son). Sadly I couldn't find very many stills online but it is honestly one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. The main character is gorgeous too ♥

An album I've listened to recently

is Two Suns by Bat for Lashes. Well actually I bought it a while ago, and I just haven't got around to posting it, but it is amazing. I really want to get her debut when I come back, that's meant to be even better.

A photo I took recently

on the train. If I'm honest I really haven't taken enough pictures recently but I found this earlier when clearing my camera. It was taken whilst on the train back from my boyfriend's house last weekend (hence the grubbiness), which is always a sad journey, but that bit there is really beautiful.

A book I'm reading

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Even though I'm only half way through and probably too young to understand it properly, I can honestly say that irregardless of its storyline, it's the most beautifully written book I've ever read.

And finally

a pretty dress because this post wouldn't be complete without one aha! You can get this in three colours, but I think the blue's my favourite, I really want to get it when I get home! Oh and it's from Topshop, obviously!

That's all from me for a while, be back in two weeks! x

This fear's got a hold on me

2010-01-27T20:51:00.005Z

Recently I have received a few tags, the first from the lovely Holly at Fawned and the second an award from Phoebe at Cross Your Fingers. Thank you so much to both of you! They both have beautiful blogs, you should have a look! I think I am required to list some things, but to be honest I don't really have much to say other than the fact I'm going to Thailand in one week! Have some pretty pictures instead (:

Most of these are just old ones that have been on my memory stick for ages so I'm sorry I don't know where they're from. Now I'm going to tag Emma, Lottie and Becca! x

P.S. Both Aindrea at Fashionista du Jour and Hannah at London Rose are holding competitions at the moment, enter and you could win a £25 or £50 Topshop voucher!

What are you doing Sunday baby?

2010-01-20T21:46:00.005Z

I just saw this video on nmeTV and had to post it, I love Lightspeed Champion so much! I saw him (with Alexa Chung actually...) at T4 on the Beach two years ago and have loved him ever since. Just look at those hats! I guess this song is quite different from his older stuff, much more varied in terms of instruments and just generally poppier but I'm still quite excited about his new album. It's on my list of pre-orders now, along with Marina and the Diamonds, Los Campesinos! and Laura Marling♥

Anyways, before I pop off to bed I just wanted to let you know after I wrote my last post, the lovely people at vouchercodes.co.uk sent me a £40 Topshop giftcard! Now I just need to decide what to spend it on, there's been so much lovely spring stock in recently no? I am going into Plymouth on Saturday though so I'm pretty sure I'll have spent it by then haha! Have a lovely rest of week everyone! x

Nothing you can say that can't be sung

2010-01-12T20:47:00.007Z

How many of you use discount codes when shopping? Vouchercodes has great online codes for stores like ASOS, MyWardrobe, and Liberty, as well as printable vouchers for restaurants like Pizza Express, so you can afford to shop and eat out! At the moment they are offering an amazing 30% off at Gap, as well as other discounts at All Saints and Oasis.The best thing is that the site is completely free and really easy to use - what could be simpler?

I've got a lot of things to look forward to this year (like Thailand and America!) but that also means I'll be needing to save lots of money when updating my wardrobe. Here are my top five picks for 2010, all under £40.

1. LACE DRESS, £38, TOPSHOP.

Lace has already proven to be big this winter, and I predict the trend will continue this spring, in lighter, softer shades of pink and cream. I love this dress so much, it's perfectly girly and looks just like Alexa's!

2. FLORAL SKATER DRESS, £25, NEW LOOK

Skater dresses + florals = that's going to be a winner right? I saw someone wearing this dress on lookbook, then looked it up to find it was only £25, so I think it's my favourite I've seen yet!

3. FLORAL LEGGINGS, £20, TOPSHOP


I've always been a fan of florals and I think these leggings would look great with everything, from bright t-shirts and blazers to simple black bodycon, so I think they're pretty good for £20! Only problem is which colour to choose?

4. BRETON TOP, £18, ASOS

Breton tops are a great basic to have in your wardrobe and are always chic, if you haven't got one already I suggest you move this to top of your list!

5. ALPHABET TIGHTS, £10, HOUSE OF HOLLAND AT URBAN OUTFITTERS

Tights are probably the easiest way to update your look and these are available in loads of crazy cool designs elsewhere on the internet as well, all at a bargain price. Plus THEY'RE BY HENRY HOLLAND!

I hope you enjoyed this post and visit the voucher codes website! x

2009-12-30T21:26:00.005Z

How was your Christmas? Mine was really good, and I got loads of lovely presents, including jeans and a top from Topshop, a gorgeous black leather bag from Urban Outfitters, various bits and bobs for Thailand, Benefit makeup, a few really good albums (which I'll probably post about soon!) and the pink headphones I posted about before (:

Today with some of my money I hit the sales! I have to say I do rather like the idea of sales, though when it comes to it I always fail and end up going back to the newer expensive stock haha! I got a few little things in Accessorize, some shoes in New Look and this in Topshop...

Crop Top, £16

Skirt, £30 (It looks quite boring here but it's actually really nice!)

I also tried on this dress after gazing at it on the website a good few times, but it didn't fit properly. I was pretty upset actually as it's so lovely and would be perfect for Thailand! Oh well, more summer stuff will come out soon, and hopefully I should be able to get a job at some point!

I'm going to spend New Year in Cornwall with my boyfriend and some friends which I'm quite looking forward to, what are you up to? Happy New Year everyone! x

All crop tops and testosterone passion

2009-12-23T19:04:00.009Z

Just an outfit from a few days ago. I love these tights so much! Sorry about the strange smile. And sorry about the lazy mirror picture. One of these days I might actually get a tripod.

Dress and belt - Primark, cardigan - H&M, heart tights - Topshop.

My boyfriend bought me Hold On Now, Youngster... by Los Campesinos! as part of my Christmas present and I've been listening to it solidly for the last few days. Even if you don't like the band, you've got to say they have some amazing lyrics.

And I always get confused, because in supermarkets they turn the lights off when they want you to leave, but in discos they turn them on, and it's always sad to go, but it's never that sad, because there's only certain places you're guaranteed of getting a hug when you go, and on the way home, it seems like a good idea to go paddle in the fountain, and that's because it IS a good idea, and it's like we're all human, and the state of nature, we're undeveloped, we're ignorant, we're stupid, but we're happy.

This may well be my last post for a while, so Merry Christmas everyone! x

Here's my Christmas wishlist... lots of clothes from Topshop and Urban Outfitters, Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones in pink, cute little necklaces, a few new-ish albums, the Nylon Street book, Marc Jacobs Lola, pretty underwear, Polaroid film and some new glasses. I can only hope, haha. What's on your wishlist this year?

It's my last day of school tomorrow, I'm so excited! And only eight sleeps to go after tonight! x

2009-12-10T19:41:00.011Z

A few weeks ago I discovered this great site, Fashion Confidential, and I was just wondering if any of you had heard of it before?

It sells designer clothing, through stores like Matches and Net-a-Porter, so you can easily browse a massive selection of clothes, shoes and bags. There is literally hundreds of designers to choose from, including Burberry, Balmain, Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood to name but a few.

However what makes it different is that there's so much more than shopping. This site doesn't just sell, but it helps you find ideas and great bargains both on the web and on the high street. The boutique directory is full of old favourites, as well as great new stores, and the Bargain Hunter section is genius. It has details of all the best designer sample sales and a calendar showing all the dates. It also picks out the best individual items from websites like The Outnet, Matches Style Steals and Browns Labels for Less.

The Style Report section is essentially a blog of the site, full of beautiful photos and celebrity inspiration, I'm already addicted! Also one of the editorial features at the moment is an interview with the designers from Preen, which I loved reading, and there's also a little list of blogs I'm sure you'll love if you don't already know them!

However my favourite part of the website is definitely the new magazine. Although I love savouring a good issue of Vogue, I think online magazines, or e-zines, are the future and this one is great. It contains loads of catwalk photos, style tips, designer interviews and the hottest new pieces all linked to stores where you can buy them. This month's issue is packed full of great Christmas gifts and outfit ideas - if only I could afford some of it!

I hope you enjoyed this post - now click here to visit Fashion Confidential!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I was ill at the weekend and have had what seems like mountains of school work recently. Anyways I just wanted to share these few songs with you, saw the first one on NMEtv tonight and have suddenly become obsessed with her, Ellie Goulding. Was actually gutted to find out her album isn't out until June next year! The second song was produced by Frankmusik, who to be honest I'm not a great fan of, but I have to say it is lovely. Anyways I hope you like them, and keep checking back as I do actually have some better posts scheduled soon!

So maybe this a little belated seeing as it is Monday now, but on Friday I went to see Bloc Party!

The support band, Grammatics, who in truth I was sort of looking forward to seeing, turned out to be awful; although they had a cellist(!) not one of their songs had anything resembling a tune. But Bloc Party themselves were actually incredible. Kele looked absolutely gorgeous and every song (including some of the newer ones I've always said I didn't like) they played was awesome. Flux for one was absolutely MAGICAL. It was pretty packed and very sweaty and and there were people passing out all around me, but still I'd do anything to see them again!

I didn't take my camera on the night (the photo above was kindly donated by my good friend Lewis) and I forgot to take any pictures before I went but basically I wore my Topshop dress I blogged about before, with purple tights and plainish black flats that proved to be pretty good for dancing hahaa(:

Saw this BEAUTIFUL Teen Vogue editorial on Amelia's blog earlier, and just knew I had to post it. I know Teen Vogue always do adorable couple shoots, but I think this has been my favourite yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on a copy tomorrow when I'm in Exeter. What are you all up to this weekend? Also, before I hop off to bed, just wanted to say hi and thanks to all my new followers! Not including bloglovin', I have 80 now(: x

I spent the weekend with my boyfriend and my two best friends (separately, not all together), which was lovely, and so far this weeks been gooood. I'm definitely going back to Thailand now, in February next year! The flights are all booked up and everything; I'm actually so excited I could burst. Also I now have my ticket, and dress for Bloc Party. It's this one, though I promise I'll post some pictures soon...

Why does Urban Outfitters have to be so expensive? And why do they have to bring out such nice new stuff just as I have money, and have to save it? x

Finally, an actual post about London Fashion Week! This is probably the weirdest selection of designers ever, but here are just a couple of shows that caught my eye (it's probably best to click on the pictures to make them bigger)...

LUELLA. I didn't think this was quite as good as their last few collections, but still gorgeous. All the heart shapes, polka dots, bows... And Alexa Chung has worn that last dress already!

LOUISE GRAY. New to LFW I believe, but definitely 'one to watch'. It's all so fun and colourful, and that first dress is just epic!

CHRISTOPHER KANE. Definitely really different to Luella and Louise Gray, but still amazing. The gingham and lace and everything together; beautiful yet dark at the same time.

Of course that's only three, a few more favourites were Erdem, Clements Ribeiro and Vivienne Westwood (: I have quite a few ideas for future posts so keep checking back! x

I'm sorry I haven't written in forever, life's been so busy recently! For two weeks I hosted a Spanish student (which was great fun, by the way) and since then I seem to have had TONS of schoolwork and stuff to do so yeah, not had a lot of time for blogging! On the plus side, after having a bit of a break now it seems like for once I've actually got lots and lots of things in my head to write about, with all the major fashion weeks and everythingggg (: However right now doesn't seem like the best time to start writing... I promise I'll be back with a proper fashion week post before this week's ended though!

Would it be stupid to dedicate a whole post to one ELLE issue? Well, this month's, October if I'm right, was actually amazing! And I actually mean that, I'm not just talking about Lily Allen (I'll get onto that later, don't you worry) the whole of it was really good, I'm still sat flicking through it now. Even the usually rubbish supplement part was good. Good good good good good. Undeground posters (soon to be up on my wall), Pete Doherty interview (rather in love with him now) and Kaya Scodelario/Effy shoot (just the slightest bit jealous she's only two years older than me!), it was all awesome. Basically, just GO BUY IT NOW!

Anyways, here are some pictures I managed to scrounge off the internet of the Lily Allen editorial, shot by Rankin. Maybe I should be talking about the new blondeness (cue the Debbie Harry references...) but it was the other pictures I really liked; I'm super excited about seeing her live now. The last picture is my favourite though, the lace leggings, the t-shirt, the messy hair, the tatoos, the cigarette. She looks absolutely gorgeous, no?

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

Recently I received an email from the team over at CovertCandy. It was set up at the beginning of this year, and already has over 3500 members. The idea is you rifle through your wardrobe for things you no longer wear, photograph them and upload to the site. People then trade 'credits' for your items which you can use to 'buy' other things from the site. There's loads of things I've got my eye on already so I need to get uploading! They also sell hand-sourced vintage clothes through the site so you can buy direct if trading isn't your thing.

Thanks for all your comments on my last post - I'm all packed now and pretty much ready to go (: I've just started reading Middlesex, which is by Jeffery Eugenides, the same guy who wrote The Virgin Suicides. It's pretty long for me (550 pages?) but at the moment I'm really enjoying it. I also got The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time, and a couple other books to read whilst I'm away which is good...

I doubt that I'll be able to get to a computer whilst I'm in Portugal, but I'l make sure to take lots of pictures and I'll see you in two weeks! x

Seem to have gotten a few new followers recently. Salut.

I went shopping with Mother today, got some rather nice stuff for my holiday, an oversized, slightly sheer t-shirt dress thing from H&M (though it is the most wonderful AA copy) and another pair of fake wayfarers to add to my collection. Also bought this dress which is for a wedding, but I'm pretty sure i'm going to be wearing it a lot after that, especially come winter with tights (did I mention how excited about winter I am?). Anyways here it is...

Anyways, back to 'the holiday'. Am off to Portugal (and possibly Spain also) on Saturday! Really need to update the iPod though, any suggestions of what I should put on there? Also am going to the library tomorrow, have decided to have a look for Franny and Zooey and Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time (thanks Kait!) but if you have any more recommendations that'd be great, I tend to read a lot on holiday (:

Finally I feel like posting something really random, but weheartit is failing me tonight, so here's a quote from Chuck Palahnuik...

"Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It's all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary."

I've been tagged, THREE TIMES (:

Firstly, the lovely Lottie gave me a Kreativ blogger award! Thanks, and visit her blog, it's pretty neat (:

This award requires the blogger to list 7 interesting things about themselves and then pass the award on to 7 other 'kreativ bloggers'.

1. My name is actually Kate, and not Katie or Katherine or Kathryn or Kaitlyn or anything. That's not really interesting, but I'm the only person I know like that.

2. At school people call me cafe. I'm not quite sure why, this random guy just used to call me that.

3. At the moment I'm reading Lord of The Flies. My favourite book is probably The Perks of Being A Wallflower or The Catcher In the Rye though. I read quite a lot these days. I'm a bit of a geek.

4. I've been learning the violin since I was four., and the piano quite a while as well I guess. I really want to learn the guitar though. And the harp. And learn how to sing, properly.

5. I've never broken a bone. When I was little I could dislocate my arm really easily though.

6. I have a GCSE in Italian, and hopefully come August 27th, one in Spanish as well. Next year I'll study French. I like languages.

7. I can front somersault, handspring and barani on my trampoline. Other than that, I have no athletic ability whatsoever. That was random.

I'm going to pass this award on to Roz, Amelia, Dapper Kid, Demi, Becca, Winnie and Rosie.

Also, Kait tagged me to say six things that make me happy...

1. My boyfriend.

2. People watching.

3. Raspberries, and eating them like Amelie.

4. Painting my nails bright colours. At the moment my fingers are cobalt blue and my toes are coral. Barry M is a king.

5. Corsodyl mouthwash, the red stuff I regularly steal from my parents. It tastes like licorice, you know.

6. DVD box sets. My sister and I watched almost a whole series of friends this morning.

I'm going to tag Zoe, Heleen and Carocream.

Finally, I got sent an award from Wonderlander!

It's a lemonade stand award, thanks so much! I have to tag twelve people now, so here are twelve lovely blogs you should all check out...

Thanks everyone! x

P.S. I thought some of you might enjoy this...

This isn't the sort of thing I usually post, but I saw this guy in the paper yesterday, and since then he has become my new obsession. Liu Bolin is from Shandong in China, and here is part of his latest series, Hiding in the City. He paints himself in order to blend in with the surroundings, then takes pictures I guess. I think they are actually amazing.

Despite the HIDEOUS weather on Sunday, T4 on the beach was amazing! The best act was definitely Dizzee Rascal, followed by Basement Jaxx and Gossip, they were both really great. I was really looking forward to Calvin Harris, but it seemed like there was some sort of technical problem or something, so it just wasn't LOUD enough. Florence and the Machine was absolutely incredible, but I think she would have been a whole lot better had she played the smaller stage, you know? Other than that, I managed to see rather a lot of artists, including Little Boots, Frankmusik, Paloma Faith, and, er Peter Andre. He just appeared on stage at one point, which was rather odd!

This weekend has felt pretty surreal for me, how was yours?

I can't say I've ever been a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, but I couldn't not post these pictures, taken from the new Tim Burton film. It's not going to be anything like the original story, more like a sequel, which I think is rather cool. Here is the synopsis and some pictures, it's out in March next year if you're wondering (:

Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.

I know I should have really posted nearer the time, but Exeter on Saturday was really good! Unfortunately I forgot to take (or rather get Lynsey to take) an outfit picture but oh well. Here is a picture of her from the train ride home.

We did spend rather a long time in the Topshop sale, I think I tried on eleven things!? Anyway Lynsey bought this rather cool checked dress with a massive poofy skirt, and I got a new boyfriend shirt, a skirt and Barbara Hulanacki bag. I'd seen the bag before but thought £25 was pretty expensive, so I was pretty pleased to find it for £12. It's a really nice, summery colour and absolutely huge! I've been on work experience this week, and although it's been pretty boring, it has given me an excuse to wear everything!

Finally you know I mentioned getting an outfit for T4 on the beach? Here is the dress I got! It's from H&M and I really like it, though it's a bit long so hopefully soon I'm going to take it up a little. Here's a picture, anyway.

Emma Watson is officially my new favourite person. I've never really liked her style before, but after seeing her ELLE cover this month, those Burberry ads and now this amazing Teen Vogue editorial, I think I may be obsessed. I literally can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this (:

I'm off to Exeter with Lynsey tomorrow, to meet up with a few old, old friends and hopefully find myself something to wear for T4 on the beach! Any ideas on what I should look for?

PS. You may have noticed the Regina Spektor lyrics in the title, I've been listening to a lot of her recently, and this song, Samson, is beautiful. I've heard her new album is really good, I might buy it soon. Any other recommendations? x

Not a particularly interesting outfit today, but here are my new gladiators I got yesterday, in Matalan! I know I'm gonna be wearing them so much this summer; I'm off to Portugal in just over a month (:

I'm so sad about Michael Jackson, he was truly an AMAZING musician. I don't think there will ever be another person like him. RIP :(

I started out with nothing and I still got most of it left

2009-06-23T21:17:00.003+01:00

Just some recent online purchases... finally an american apparel skirt, some cds and a book. Oh and did I tell you I'll be seeing Florence and the Machine this summer? (: x

If you want to know, my weekend has pretty much been going as planned and I guess now I'm about halfway through my book (:

All these pictures are from my new favourite streetstyle blog, the streethearts. There's just something about guys in glasses and trenchcoats, isn't there?

Ok so the last one isn't wearing glasses nor is he wearing a trenchcoat, but hey. He's cute and I loveee the braces! x

Thanks for all your comments, my art exam wasn't too bad in the end, although five hours of not speaking to anyone felt pretty weird!

What are you all up to this weekend? I think all I'm really going to be doing this weekend is reading more of The Catcher In The Rye, drinking a lot of green tea (I have become rather obsessed recently) and possibly writing letters to some of the Thai students, which should be nice (: I guess that leaves me with rather a lot of time for blogging though, so keep checking back folks! x

PS. This is my new favourite blog of the week.

I really can't believe I haven't seen these pictures before, I love Chloë Sevigny!

I know I said my exams were over, but actually I have two mocks left! English next week and art on Friday. I know it's only a mock, but I'm still so nervous about it! It's 5 hours long! x

I had such a good weekend, in town two days in a row (: Lying on the grass in the middle of a roundabout, taking pictures and people watching. The people in the second picture are Lynsey and Fiona by the way, and the one after is Lynsey and me.

Also I watched the Virgin Suicides, I don't know if i liked it or not really. The book had a massive effect on me, and in comparison the film didn't really. I liked the boys though, they were pretty cute! x

PS. Only two more followers until fifty!

This is really a feeble excuse for a post, but whatever. I had my last exam today (in fact I was nearly half an hour late but that's another story) and now I'm freeeee. Oh and I just realised I now have 14 £2 coins. Thus, am in a pretty good mood! tonight shall consist of this...

... lounging around doing nothing in one of my dad's old shirts, The Virgin Suicides, The Catcher in the Rye, Seasick Steve albums (:

I changed things around a bit. I think I prefer it, what about you? I really really want this t-shirt by wildfox right now, though sadly £60 is a small fortune for me atm (I never did get that job). Still I did manage a quick look around the website last night. Aren't these ad campaigns amazing?

2009-06-07T20:18:00.007+01:00

This weekend was rather nice, today I met a few friends and wandered around for a bit, and sat in this field where the corn was up to our waists and all swishy in the wind. Last night I watched Amelie. I think I must have forgotten how beautiful it was; I think I cried most of the way through. This scene is by far my favourite, it always makes me so happy.

Also yesterday I ordered A Catcher In The Rye and the film adaptation of The Virgin Suicides (I LOVED the book). I'm really excited, how geeky is that? Now I'm off to watch The Apprentice, I really want Yasmina to win! x

Happy weekend! Only one exam left now, rather happy atm (:

I know this is really a feeble excuse for a post, but it did make me laugh and I had to had to had to share it. Printed bags like this are so much nicer than t-shirts, no? I could do a pretty cool DIY one, if I could actually come up with something vaguely interesting/witty/relevant to write. Any ideas?

P.S. I've just become obsessed with Bon Iver. Will do a proper music post soon. Remind me.

4000 hits, yay!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been away in Cornwall for a few days, and last night I went out to a party which wasn't really a party, hahaa. Today was the last day of the holidays, and next week I have two exams, a job interview and a speaking and listening coursework thing, ahhh. Just wish me luck (:

I think I might make myself an etsy account soon (buying, not selling, I'm not remotely talented!), has anyone got any sellers they can recommend? Jewellery, accessories, books, anything. Oh and I made myself a tumblr the other day, hopefully at some point this week I'll get round to using it! x

P.S. I've just started listening to the band ra ra riot, they're awesome and totally not as hardcore as they sound! I found them here, my new favourite blog of the week (:

I want you to make me cry

2009-05-25T23:00:00.011+01:00

This morning I went shopping with my mum and sister, I got some boardshorts (just for when I'm in Cornwall really) and a blue high-waisted skirt from H&M. I don't really know whether or not I like it or not but I think I might post some pictures tomorrow. Then later on as part of Rosie and I's latest adventure we went up to the hay bales, and then up beside the train tracks. All the pictures are of Rosie, taken by me, its just better that way I suppose (: Maybe one day it'll be the other way round, when I can be bothered to look half decent, haa.

2009-05-23T22:08:00.005+01:00

Today I went up to this field near my house and took pictures in the sunshine (:

Dress and Cardigan - H&M, Sandals - Topshop.

Ashita from les nymphs recently sent me this award, thanks! I'm passing it on to Rosie, Carocream, The Clothes Horse, Stephanie, Little Fawn and anyone else that wants it really, sorry but I'm too tired to tag ten more people right now!

I've loved Ali Michael since I first saw her on a Teen Vogue cover last year, which was one of the first (the fourth, to be precise) issues I bought (:

Now I'm on half term, so there shall be better posts and more pictures, hopefully! I think I might be going to Cornwall for a little bit with my cousins, and perhaps to a party or two, so I think it's going to be pretty good. Then again I do have chemistry, physics, art and music exams when I go back, ahh! You up to anything much over half term? x

photos:altamira, yes?

PS. I know I plug Rosie's blog rather often, but read this. It was hilarious at the time. You WILL laugh.

PPS. I just found out I won a Topshop necklace in a competition on the fabulous blog geisharock (: I'm not sure what it's like yet, but I've just sent her all my details, super excited about the surprise now! I'd really like to do a giveaway, but I just don't know what to literally give away. Any ideas of what you'd like to see? And I was wondering what you want to see on this blog, just generally? Ideas please!

2009-05-19T20:32:00.000+01:00

Firstly thanks to everyone who has left comments recently, I really love reading them (: A few people seemed to think the girl in all the photos in my last post was me, but it wasn't - I was taking the pictures! It was Rosie, and if you want to see her blog click here! Anyways here is my new t-shirt, I love it. Sorry these pictures are pretty awful quality!

Today Rosie and I went into town for afternoon tea in M&S, and a bit of shopping! I had such a good day and it made a change from revising! I got a few bits, including this amazing distressed union jack top from Zara. And I finally got round to buying some benefit, some georgia powder which I love already (: How has your weekend been so far? x

PS. How cute are these baby Chanel No.5 bottles!?

Oh I hope that you'll understand

2009-05-11T19:02:00.004+01:00

I'm going to see Lily Allen in November, oh yes oh yes oh yes. Also have tickets for T4 on the Beach (better people WILL be announced, they will) and still probably going to Bloc Party, so right now I have quite a bit to look forward to. Oh and right now I'm listening to The Virgins album, I love them sooo much.

And I've just realised I now have thirty followers on here and bloglovin, thanks! x

2009-04-25T18:29:00.006+01:00

I'm sorry I'm not going to be posting very often for a few weeks, I've got a Thai exchange student coming next week, its my birthday on tuesday, and i have spanish and science exams very soon, so that means lots of revision! Basically I will be busy busy busy. Today I went out shopping with my two best friends and had a picnic as a sort of mini birthday party, but later on tonight I'm going out to a house party which should be good (: What are you up to this weekend?

Aaanyways now here are the answers to the questions you sent a few weeks ago.

Why did you start blogging? from Ariella

Basically I'd been reading blogs for a few months and I

just thought I should really start writing one of my own, to give something back as it were (cheesy as that sounds!). I wanted to be able to post about things I like and get some feedback from others!

What are your dreams? from Heidi-Ann

I don't really know if they're my dreams, but in the future I want to get into a good university and study english or foreign languages, after that I'm afraid I don't really know what I want to do! Just being surrounded by family and friends and having a family of my own would be good, I guess.

I've taken a few pictures with my polaroid so far, if I work out how to scan them onto my computer, I'll show them to you at some point (:

2009-04-17T20:26:00.011+01:00

I'm back. I know I promised some pictures from my holiday, but I actually didn't take a single one. I had such a great time though, and I got to see some people I haven't seen in absolutely ages.

Tonight I've done a couple hours of manic Spanish revision after I realised that my exam is in two weeks; now I have 11 copies of el medio ambiente stuck randomly around my room. Oh and I bought an old Polaroid 600 from ebay for £12.72, haha. I'm just praying the 'slightly out of date' film will work.

I didn't really get a lot of questions before, but if you have any then tell me now! Hopefully then I'll be able to do a super Q&A post.

PS. If you're wondering, the two photos are ones I took on a trip to the beach last week. Tell me what you think (:

2009-04-14T19:48:00.000+01:00

Thanks for all your feedback on my last post, I'm actually amazed that I got thirtysomething comments!

I'm going away to Cornwall with a few friends for a couple days now though, back soon! Hopefully I'll do a few more interesting posts when I get back, and I promise lots of beach pictures! What do you think of me doing a Q&A post? I don't know if I've got enough readers to really make it worthwhile, but if you have a question, fire away now haha. Ciao x

Yesterday I got some bad news, i.e. no Thai visitor for me and probably no visit to Thailand either. The day turned out better than I expected though, I went to go see 'The Boat That Rocked' with my best friend Lynsey, and then out for nachos (:

Spent the rest of the evening updating my iPod and making playlists with stupid titles, so favourite new (well new for me) songs are below. It's all pretty varied tbqh, but tell me what you think, and if any of you know how to get an actual 'playlist' on here that'd be great! The most comments I've got on a post is 14 so far, I'd love to get 20 though!

Today is the first day of the Easter holidays, so I've been pretty happy today, doing the best part of nothing and just enjoying the fact I don't have school for another two weeks. Also I have to tell you yesterday I found out that soon I'm going to be having an exchange student from THAILAND! I'm so excited. Anyways this is what I'm wearing today, and out to a party tonight.

shirt dress - topman, vest top - h&m, tights - wherever, belt - primark.

I was really sad to hear about Agyness and Albert splitting up (they were such a beautiful couple!) but it did prompt me to listen to some of Mr. Albert Hammond Jr's music, and I have to say its pretty good. Check him out (: Bye for now x

The Photographic Dictionary is amazing. I'll let the pictures explain how it works...

abandon - Mikhail Wassmer

doily - Teresa Frausin

kiss - Angus R. Shamal

platform - Peter Devan

Also atm I'm really into Spotify. It works a bit like last.fm, only much faster and much easier to use. You can make your own playlists like on iTunes as well which is rather grand. I think I might post some when I work out how. Currently playing is 'The Lucky One', by Au Revoir Simone. Lovely (:

The new Topshop collection looks amazing, doesn't it? I can't wait until some more of it is added to the website, sad as that sounds! Until then I've been thinking about buying this American Apparel dress, but I was just wondering if any of you guys have it ? I'm pretty sure I'm getting the pocket skirt for my birthday in a few weeks too, which is rather goood. You may have noticed I've added a few more links recently, Aindrea and Winnie, they both have amazing blogs which you should really check out. If you want to link with me then please just ask! Oh and if you're visiting this blog then thankyou, and please leave comments, I'd love to get a few more (: Sorry for the sort of mixed up post, but here's some recent weheartit lovelyness. Enjoy! x

If you love me, won't you let me know?

2009-03-27T23:02:00.007Z

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long, a week almost. I've had a pretty busy week in terms of schoolwork but otherwise it's been alright... I'll just say things are starting to come together now; I'm very, very happy.

I finished 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky, this week. It's easily the best book I've read in a while, although the main character reminded me of myself so much it was creeepy! What are your favourite books? I'm onto reading Barack Obama's autobiography now, and I really want to read some more 'classics', so The Great Gatsby and The Catcher In the Rye are next on my list - wish me luck! Haha I must sound like such a geek. Prose before hoes guys!

Anyway that's about it for this post, I'm sorry for the erm, lack of content - I only really posted because I felt guilty for not blogging all week up until now! I promise there will be more (and hopefully more interesting!) posts soon, if not this weekend. What are you all up to?

Oh and I loved this picture, so cute (: Happy weekend! x

2009-03-22T15:49:00.012Z

What have you been up to this weekend ? Remarkably for me I've done rather a lot. Yesterday I had extra Spanish exam prep in the morning, then in the afternoon I went into Plymouth for a little bit with one of my best friends, Fiona. I didn't buy an awful lot as I went in mainly to buy a mothers day present, and I'm trying not to buy any clothes until at least Easter which so far has proven to be very dificult! Saying that, my birthday is in just over a month, so I managed to have a good look around Topshop, and I've now got a few things to start off my wishlist. I LOVE this one dress from the website.

Also on friday I picked up a copy of Teen Vogue and I have to say this month the editorials were amazing. I know they always are, but the main editorial was quite simply beautiful. I loved the 'enchanted solider' one too, it was all military-inspired but with some florals as well, basically everything I am obsessed with right now! I tried to recreate this one look so maybe I'll post that and the editorial photos next week, if anyone's interested? Otherwise here are some of my favourite shots from the first one...

Haven't got an awful lot to say for myself today, but I thought I'd share some pictures with you guys. They're of me and Rosie out enjoying the sunshine last night, it was loverly (:

PS. I've just listened to the Sia album 'Colour the Small One' all the way through a few times via last.fm, it's amazing. If you haven't listened to it before, you should. What music are you into atm? x

I found Zoe again, so here is my award I mentioned yesterday. Thankyou!

It's a your blog rocks award. The rules are:

When you recieve the award, show that you're happy to whoever sent it to you,
Nominate at least five blogs that you think rock,
Let them know about the award in their post,
Continue being happy.

I'm gonna' give this to Rosie, Lucy, Sophie, Kirsty and Taylor.

All the while I was dreaming of revelry

2009-03-15T21:24:00.000Z

What have you all been up to this weekend? I wasn't very well most of the time, but I thought I should show you the dress I bought whilst on my (very quick!) shopping trip yesterday. It's from topshop and is in this amazing floral pattern, sort of like scribbles, with a zip going up the front. Oh and I'm wearing it with jeans because it is very, very short. Even on me, and I am quite a midget! I'm sorry about the pictures, I hate 'mirror pictures' but I was feeling pretty ill so I'm hoping that counts as an excuse for the unoriginality!?

Dress - Topshop, T-shirt (underneath) - Primark, Jeans - Zara, Necklace - H&M.

I've just realised this is my tenth post. Doesn't sound like a lot, but I'm pretty pleased with that seeing as I thought my first would be my last! I refound Zoe's blog, so I think I'll post my 'award' tomorrow, or sometime within the next few days. Also I've been thinking about a few (hopefully!) more interesting posts I'll be doing sometime soon... how incredibly exciting. Just curb your enthusiasm. Anyways better be off now, I have quite a bit on at school tomorrow, including a nice telling off probably. Now thats something to look forward to. Hope you all have a nice week x

I just watched Amelie, aka one of my favourite films, ever. You've probably all seen it already, so I won't post about that, but seeing Audrey Tautou reminded me of some pictures I've had on my computer for a while now. They're stills from her newest film, Coco avant Chanel, which (you got it!) is a biopic of Coco Chanel. I know it's all set to come out in France next month, but I haven't heard anything about it in the UK. I really hope that doesn't mean it won't be released at all! What are your favourite films, and are there any you're currently looking forward to?

photos:some random film website?

Also I had something else to share with you, as the other day I received an award from Zoe (: For some reason I can't get to her blog to look at it, to post it on here, but if you're reading this then muchos gracias! I will send out mine soonish, or in fact whenever blogspot decides to work again. Finally, if any of you were wondering then I'm now on Bloglovin'. The link over on the right should work. Now better go, I still have two pages of art to do for tomorrow!

I can sleep forever these days, 'cause in my dreams, I see you again

Three. Four. things.

Dan is now on blogspot... www.nuclearave.blogspot.com (I don't think he knows I've written this... yet).
Slumdog Millionaire was AMAZING! I went to the little cinema this time instead of the big out-of-town one (I actually preferred it) and went to Lorenzo's for nachos. Basically, I had a really good time.
When I've finished this cup of coffee, I think I'm going swimming with Fiona, and then later I'm off to Rosie's again - so probably more pictures to come soon!
I want a polaroid camera, just so I can stick them up like this on my wall.

What are you all doing this weekend ? I've not really been up to much today, just trying to get through a heap of schoolwork, tidying my room, and drinking tea really. However I am going to see Slumdog Millionaire tonight, am really rather excited (:

And I thought I'd tell you, one of my best friends, Rosie, has now got a blog, you really should have a look... http://www.geeksinglasses.blogspot.com/

I thought this picture was very, very cute.

PS. I have just realised this blog has had just over one hundred hits now, I'm really happy with that as it's only been what? Two weeks? Oh and I finally got round to getting a profile picture...

I've been round to Rosie's tonight, she had a new camera and so we took loads of pictures! So here is my first outfit post, and (ahh!) an actual picture of me! Rosie edited it but I have to say my hair isn't really that ginger in real life!

Vest (underneath) - Jack Wills, Top - Illustrated People for Topshop, Jeans - H&M, Bracelets - Primark. I also had my sort-of converse on but for now you can see my beautiful spotty socks!

The sun will rise, even if you don't happen to be there

AOnce again sorry I am such a terrible blogger, haven't posted in almost a week now. I officially HATE maths exams! Anyway I was just going to ask what you thought of this, i.e. what I've been looking at whilst I should have been revising! For £25, I thought it was pretty cute! I wasn't sure if I could get a picture, so here's a link...

Finally here's another slice of Alexa Chung goodness for you, and just incase I haven't told you before... I LOVE GRIMMY!

So, I admit I haven't really kept up to date with the autumn/winter shows, but today I finally got round to having a quick look on style.com. Doing battle with a very slow broadboad whilst still a three hour train ride away from London itself, and oh, still being in school, is not quite the same as being there, but I can wish. The pictures are probably best viewed a little larger, but here are just a few favourites. What were your favourite shows?

Firstly, the Erdem show. To be quite honest, I haven't really ever liked the designer before, but after seeing reports on both Afeitar and WishWishWish, I decided to check it out. The shape of those dresses is amazing, and I love the lace, the jewel colours and the florals, almost everything about the collection actually. And the buns!

I didn't really like it as much as last years A/W, but Luella didn't fail to impress either. In particular, I loved all the little military details - I think I'm slightly obsessed actually! Also the two grey dresses are lovely, really simple and I love them with the bags and boots, hopefully Topshop should make some similar come Autumn! AND PIXIE GELDOF!?

Right now, I'm off to watch Gossip Girl! xoxo

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, spent the last few days of my holiday going crazy doing artwork for school, and weather has been awful here so couldn't really take any pictures. Was back in today but hasn't been great, hopefully a few little things should sort themselves out soon. I will post pictures sometime this week too, I really need to get a decent picture of myself on here. For the profile and stuff, I'm not vain. Honest!

Isn't Alexa Chung beautiful? I absolutely love her style.

Thanks everyone for those last few comments, made my day.

Haven't really had an interesting day today, went into Plymouth with my mum for a little bit of shopping and Starbucks, didn't spend much but I did manage to find some really awesome red skinnies in the kids section of H&M (sometimes I really enjoy being short), and I got some patent silver shoes - sort of like converse hi-tops - in Primark. I'm not really sure if I like them all that much, perhaps I'll post some pictures in the morning. If any, what sort of trainers/sneakers do you wear?

Otherwise, I haven't really done a lot today, since I've been home haven't really felt too good, so I apologise for the rather uninspiring post. I'll leave you with a mini-playlist, just of a few songs I've been listening to recently, to cheer me up.

Around the Bend - The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (yes, it is from the iPod ads)
The Cure - Close to Me
Modest Mouse - Float On
The Virgins - Rich Girls

Finally, talking of music, I should be going to see Bloc Party live in October, with one of my best friends, I'm so excited! P.S. The title of this post is from another song, anyone care to guess...? I think it's a really lovely line (:

Hello out there.

2009-02-18T10:47:00.000Z

My first post... ahhh! Despite the fact that I'm just sat at home with my laptop like I'd normally be, I'm really rather scared. I'll try not to bore you with a really long first post, so here goes...

Well then, I decided to start a blog for two reasons: I've been reading them religiously for a few months now, and just wanted to try myself, and after an infinite number of attempts at diaries, journals, scrapbooks etc, I thought a blog might be more successful. I really don't know how to start this off, and to be very honest with you I really don't know what I'm doing at all.

Anyway, to start things off I think I better introduce myself properly. I'm Kate, I'm fourteen and I'm from Devon, in the south west of England, which isn't great, but it has its perks. I'm currently obsessed with Teenvogue and Nylon, coffee (as you might have guessed), anything with bows, stripes, or checks, Topshop, UO and H&M, PostSecret, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Luella.

Hopefully this blog will mainly revolve around style and shopping, but also with the occasional post on music, art, and just generally whatever I've been up to. I'm not promising anything special, but I'll try my best! Kate x
