Counting the days on her fingers

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

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...

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.

PS. This was my fiftieth post, and I think now I have fifty followers! Thanks (: x

Bang bang, you're dead

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 kind of journey just means nothing to me

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

You go back to her, and I'll go back to black

The very first Coco Avant Chanel trailer has now been released! I couldn't work out how to get it to show on here, but incase you haven't seen it yet, it's here. I'm so excited!

PS. There will be more posts next week, at least two or three. I promise!

Breaking my back, just to know your name

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?

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!
