Autumn

2008-07-13T20:14:00.004+01:00

So i'm starting university in october, which is only in 2 months... and when I think about it like that, its not that far away untill my whole life changes! Hopefully for the best. So naturally I've been worrying about what im going to wear! Because meeting new people... first impressions and stuff, scary lol! So I've been looking through my stored collection of runway images from February to get some inspiration of what stuff i'm going to be buying before I leave for uni...
its a bit difficult considering all the highstreet shops are still going mad about summer and spring lol.
Colours to look out for:

Greys
Black
Nude/Cream
Gold

Pretty simple really, but thats how I like it lol... so here are some of my favorite outfits from fashion week in February to inspire me lol...

chanel, alexander wang, zac posen

alexander wang, nina ricci, alexander mcqueen

Also ill be looking out for

Fringe
Silk
Simple/casual high waisted skirts
Light grey tights
Maybe a white blazer
Pleats
Graphic tees
Blouses

So heres my wishlist so far...

Well thats not exactly what i'm going to buy but on that level...
So has everyone else started thinking about there autumn wardrobe?

Summers coming!

2008-07-07T20:09:00.005+01:00

Thanks for everyones nice comments =] The post sounded like I was fishing for compliments, i really wasn't I just needed a good moan!

Anyway! so im going on holiday in 3 weeks! To Sicily to stay with family. Its not very nice where my house is, not very glamorous but i just love it because its a small little town where everyone knows everyone and its boiling hot! And you feel part of the country rather than a tourist! Well because ive left college & i dont have a job (haha) everything I do is preparing for my holiday... I convinced my dad to by a exercise bike instead of renewing my gym membership because im leaving home soon and i HATE the gym lol so now i spend like an hour on my exercise bike everyday while everyones out :) Im growing all my body hair so it can all be waxed off 2 days before I go lol I love the summer! So all the women in my family... my 2 aunties, my mom and my lil cousin ellie all went shopping in Birmingham saturday, so much fun lol I wasn't really summer shopping because ive got most of my stuff but I went to see if theres anything for Uni in the sales... I found this Blazer in Oasis... £45 reduced from £70... and then i looked at the tag again n it was reduced to £30, and then at the till it was £20! What a bargin!

My hair is a complete state! Im thinking about having it all chopped off. Well of corse not all of it, im thinking shoulder length? or just abit longer all one level. Because its much longer at the back.
What style do you think I could have my hair cut?
P.S Since I've started blogging i've started reading loads.. I've started reading 'The Basketball Diaries' and I think its great but im stopping reading it so I can enjoy it on the sun in Sicily :) So Im now reading 'This Boy's Life' which was another film that Leonardo Dicaprio was in... anyone read any of these?

Blog about letting your feelings out right?
I have no fashion inspiration, I feel like everything in my wardrobe is dated and unfashionable. I feel fat. & short. I want a nose job & thicker hair. I want to look like Megan Fox n have Rachel Bilson's wardrobe. My hair is thining and I have chapped lips due to the side efects of an acne tablet ive been taking (which hasn't been working, I still have shitty skin) all this leads to me being boyfriendless, a situation ive come to terms with and only really upsets me if I think deeply about it. I have a beautiful best friend who can be with any guy she wants, moaning to me about love & sex... and I start to question our 15 year friendship as she let's out her boring, shallow & empty self. & this is all we talk about. She doesnt have anything logical and non selfish to say. She has no idea I think so low of her & I laugh as she thinks she has ambition but won't get anywhere in life if she can't last a few days without sex.
God how were different but I still love her :)

Now ive got that off my chest :) I can once again apologise for my lack of blogging... I have no excuses =]I left college last week :( was quite sad, the photography department was in the basement cut off from the rest of the college so everyone down there kinda felt like family... And now il never go down again : ( good news though I got Distinction x 3 on my final major project (thats highest mark you can get) which gets me into university! Whey getting nervous now!!

I haven't really got any great to share with you... just my love for Leonardo Dicaprio this week. I watched 'The Basketball Diaries' for the first time. I watched it because I love New York films, i also think Leonardo & Mark Wahlberg are great. I enjoyed the film so much it inspired me to watch all of Leonardo's films lol which reminded me how much I love 'The Departed' seriously I could never get bored of this film!

oo ooh i watched WANTED... I was real excited for this film... me being a big James Mcavoy fan! I loved it to... it was abit stupid and bizzare in some places but end of the day I enjoyed it :) A

£12 Primark Dress

2008-06-13T23:55:00.004+01:00

£12 dress from primark

how could i leave it in the shop lol! I don't go to primark much but when I do i always find some kind of bargin that belongs on my blog lol the photos don't do it justice because its got like a netting under neath the skirt which i love. Im thinking of wearing it to that wedding? and ill add the cardigan for my mates 18th im thinking black tights black shoes i dunno lol! (i really need a tan!)

argh so i haven't been blogging for a while again, my life is totally stressful at the moment... I leave college a week on Wednesday :( and my final major project had to be in today (remember the dance one?) so everything been a bit mad and sad, I've been on my photography course for 2 years and I can't believe its over! There's only 7 people in my class but some of them are fantastic people, we all live quite far away from each other so its not likely ill see some of them again :( end of an era! lol

Well heres my final piece, this is an actual photo of the wall presentation because I don't have the images on my laptop, so doesn't show it that well. In my brief it said '& finalize your project by presenting your images on the wall in a visual exciting way' well i'm a creative person rather than an artist person (which means i cant deal with glue an scissors lmao) so the top images have like cool glitter borders and cropped in a mad way, and you cant see but on the big photo i have attached rhinestones on the costume over the top of the original rhinestones.

What you think? well you can't really judge from that pic lol

Anyway... so yeah I've noticed some of you are Shia Labeouf fans? well any of you seen the film 'A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints?' its one of my favorite films ever so I decided to read the book! and it was amazing I loved it! so just writing to recommend the book if u enjoyed film :)

Just to finish... I ordered the white Ed hardy cap =] I understand why most of you don't like Ed Hardy... i guess its fashionable but isn't stylish or trendy if that makes sense, but I like to wear Ed Hardy on days where I just like to chill without worrying about what I'm wearing you know? what you guys wear on days like that?

AND! I know it was a while ago... butt... George Sampson won!! whey! i was so happy :D

hmmmm....

2008-05-31T16:49:00.008+01:00

I promise to update more =]
I've even had a week holiday from college and haven't had the desire to blog lol!
Sorrryyy
I was hoping to post a fashion post but ive had no inspiration lol
I bought some keds from ASOS last week and there my favourite thing to wear at the moment!

Okay I've just ordered loads of Abercrombie & Fitch stuff for the summer, you know like basics; denim, vests, flip flops lol you have to remember that Abercrombie isn't half as popular over here in the UK as it is in America. Plus ill be spending my summer in Sicily and they don't know what fashion is over there! (lol that was abit harsh, but my house is in a really small village with like one clothes shop & its really bad haha) I also ordered two Ed hardy bikinis which im really excited to get :) But i really want an Ed hardy cap so bad! for like the gym and just chlling lol! I really want this one Vanessa Hudgens has.... or that one Ashley Tisdale has...

but i can't find them anywhere! There is no Ed Hardy shops in this country (at least i dont know) and I have to result to Ebay and they don't have much choice when it comes to Ed Hardy caps.
Well anyway while I was serching for Ed Hardy caps i came across this site: http://www.four41.com/ and they have the most amazing caps!
Im deciding between these two:

If you look they are actually different lol, I can understand if you don't like them but i love it... & yes im a Pisces! lemme know which one you think i should get or weather I should carry on looking for the ed hardy one.

England Vs America
I was really excited for the match because firstly its the last one for ages & plus I love America so i couldn't wait to see all the fans and stuff! I was suprised how many fans were there actually! Before the match I was in the pub surounded by Americans! was totally wierd lol! If you didn't watch England won 2 - 0 :D & Jon Terry scored! I don't want to bore you with football talk but was happy for him man after he missed the penalty for Chelsea :(

Its the final of Britains got talent tonight!
Now I don't watch Britains got talent ever! This is the first time i've paid attention to it! because this lil lad has totally got me hooked I think hes amazing! I posted a video of him before don't know if any of you watched it but this was his semi final performance, i think hes so amazing!!

Im going through a thrase of reading the book after ive watched thye movie! this is strange for me because im not the reading type lol
So i read all of Jarhead & Holes which i loved and now im reading A Guide to recognizing your saints! I love the film sooo much! Im also in love witht the soundtracks for Disturbia, A Guide to recognizing your saints & holes! lol!
Oh and I cannot wait for the MTV Movie Awards!! Im backing Shia Labeouf on all that his nominated for haha!
Soryy long post lol

Indiana Jones and the Kingdon of the Crystal Skull

2008-05-23T14:28:00.010+01:00

As you all now i'm a HUGE Shia Labeouf fan so I will attempt to review the new installment of Indiana Jones with a honest and hopefully unbiased opinion. I'd also like to mention i've also grown up watching the other Indiana Jones movies so I was excited for this movie anyway and the fact that Shia was in it was just a HUGE bonus.
This film is what many of you would call 'cheesy', unrealistic and maybe even a tad predictable, however this is not a film that should be judged by normal standards this is Indiana Jones after all. The humor, script and tone of the whole movie fitted perfectly with the other three movies and I have to say it wasn't any better or any worse than the older ones... what more could you ask for?!

Harrison Ford surviving eye rolling stunts was all part of the magic and fun that Indiana Jones brings! There were a few jokes about his age which a gave a realistic tint to the movie... kind of lol. Shia Labeouf did himself proud. His relationship with Indy was so great and comedic, they really worked well together. I'd definatly say that Shia was a possitive part of this movie. His entrance was amazing and ended the film in style =] (i wont give anything away). Karen Allen returns as Marion one of my favourite chacters out of the Indiana Jones movies and shes as spunky and funny as ever. Cate Blanchett was absolutly amazing! She made the movie very enjoyable to watch as a russian villian! She's one of my favourite actresses but after her performance in this she's inpressed me even more.
I really liked how little parts of the movie related back to the older films, but no matter how much I loved this film it did have its flaws. The story line was quite confusing and bizare as always and alot of people have complained about it, but what disapointed me the most was the unessesary CGI and graphics.
I think to enjoy this film you have had to watch the first movies so you understand the tone and genre of the Indiana Jones films. If you haven't you might go in expecting something different, some people would say that Indiana Jones is a new genre of film in itself and i could agree...
The endding was fantastic but it did suggest there could be more Indiana Jones films with Shia's character as a lead role and Harrison Ford as a side kick like Sean Connery's character in the third movie.
George Lucus has said its highly likely this could happen.
but as much as id love to see more of Mutt Wiliams & Indiana Jones, I really deep down hope this was the last one. Id hate for Shia to be known for his role in Indiana Jones when hes such a fantastic actor he could carry on with different movies. I also don't think Indiana Jones V would be very sucsessful as I can tell that people will be disapointed with this movie, but no fault of Shia's.

Over all Id give this film a B+
I enjoyed this film imensely and I cannot wait to see it again dispite its flaws.
Let me know what you all think =]

UPDATE// i just added a new banner that i made featuring Daisy Lowe, shes my favourite model right now!

Summer Weddings!

2008-05-16T22:06:00.005+01:00

Arn't I the worst blogger in the world!
I only commented like 10 people after my last post
im just sorting everything out at college and at home at the moment and then ill be back on blogging form :)
having some boy trouble to lol :( but don't wanna go into that!
anyway!
Today I had my first tattoo!
its only small and perfetic but i kinda never have really wanted one and i just got the urge to have one so i had something real small.
Its a tiny lil star on my right wrist! not sure if you can see from the pic but yeah =]
what you think?
Everyone had scared me telling me it was gonna kill!!
I wasn't scared of the pain, i was just worrid because I didn't know what to exspect! & the pain wasn't bad at all I kinda liked it cus im weird like that haha (horrible photo I know, but you can kinda see my tattoo)

Anyway! we had AMAZING weather here in England last week! Seriously! but thats over now as its been raining for past 2 days! (at least I can get more wear out of my navy mac! remember that?!) but in the summer when I visit family in Sicily I have a wedding to go to... and I really don't want to go but my mom really really wants me there so I thought it was a good excuse to by me a dress! I was thinking these:

Im loving the first one because I think it would look fantastic at my mates 18th birthday party aswell lol! I love the second because its simple and beautiful shape... i like the third because, well... i don't know the bride or the groom, and they don't know me so i think this is cool because its simple not really dressing up and so on...
what do you guys thinks???
im planning on wearing all the dresses with these beige t-strapes i posted
pre shopping
or maybe some nice sandals so not to dressed up.

TAGGEDDD!

2008-05-09T13:48:00.004+01:00

Hye Everyone, im sorry i haven't for posted for so long ive been going through so much personal shit recently, blogging has been the last thing on my mind.
I can't go into detail, but my parents are trying to deal with unwanted crapness, and unfortunatly it 100% effects me.

I'm still not really thinking straight, so im not sure what to blog about so I thought this was a good idea to do that tag thing! =]
I think about 3 people tagged me so i will link them all! =] x

About me =]
1. I love the Disney Channel =] Hannah Montana, The suite life of Zack n Cody and of corse Even Stevens. I just love the inocent humour, & sometimes with the stresses of being 18 its cool to come home and watch some inocent humour thats just made to make you laugh! I also love High School Musical and all that =]

2. When it comes to fashion, i feel like mentally i know exactly what looks great. I know what matches and what looks good, and when im shopping I usually have a certain thing in mind that I can never find! I feel like a dress quite average but the fashion part of my brain is quite clever! if that makes any sence!

3. Im really short :) maybe like 4.11 maybe 5 foot now? haha and people make sure I never forget it! I tend to get treated like a kid because Im short which is way annoying. But most of my family are short, they say its cus were Italian haha

4. Im pretty much a geek lol, a cool geek maybe. My interests are totally different from my friends. I couldn't live without the computer and without films and TV but most of all I couldn't live without my Iphone at all! Its the most amazing thing ever! & worth every penny! Also recentnly i've started reading books alot. When I watch a good film... i want to read the book to! haha

George Sampson to win Britain's got talent!

2008-04-29T12:52:00.008+01:00

I haven't posted in like a week... I was planning on posting a wishlist so ive been collecting up clothes I want but I only have like 3 items so theres no point just yet!

Anyway

BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT

Now thats talent! Im totally in love with this guy... hes fantastic! I really think you should all watch this video!(His name is George Sampson... search his name on youtube theres loadsa cool videos=])

Miley Cyrus... Vanity Fair pictures.

I really want to say something about these photos... everyone is going mad about them but I honestly think they are fine. Its exactly what id expect from Annie Leibovitz, the photographer. If I was 15 I wouldn't mind posing like that because nothing is on show. I think the photo is beautiful. The only thing I would say is she looks a a bit to skinny as you can see her bones in her back... anyone else notice? but she is just 15. I did a presentation about Annie Leibovitz for college work... and she loves to shock people anyone remember the pregnaunt Demi Moore photograph and the naked John Lennon one. I know Miley's just 15 but I think the photo is fine lol =]

Anyway! I went out for my mates 18th last friday. She had a lil house party and then we all went to some clubs... heres what I wore... 100% inspired by Kirsty! thanks hun!!

Sorry the first ones blurry.... i actually didn't wear the black cardigan. (How cool is my mate Beckys outfit!)

Those are my friends :) Faye Ebz n Becky

Oh one more thing...

The Greatest Game Ever Played

Anyone ever watched this film? I watched it because Shia Lebouf's in it, its about golf and i'm not a golf fan so I thought I wouldn't enjoy it... but I really loved it! i'd give it a B Shia is great as always! & Disney used some really cool graphics to make the golf parts abit more exciting.x

Michelle Trachtenberg

2008-04-21T22:41:00.009+01:00

So this might seem like a bit of a dumb thing to be blogging about but bare with me haha.... (this isn't a film review lol)

So when I was in year 4 of junior school, 1999, around 9 t0 10 years old I became obsessed with a film called Harriet the Spy. Everybody watched it? no? oh well lol

This was first of many obsessions of mine lol, im known for being obsessed with films, actors, musicians. So a lot of my friends and family look back at my Harriet the Spy obsession and laugh because it was quite extreme for a 10 year old to be so taken in by a character.

I named my pet hamster harriet lol, i used to spy out of my letterbox! (seriously!) and once at school we had world book day... we dress up as a book character for charity, so i bought Harriet the spy the book and dressed in a cool yellow coat and a belt full of gadgets lol, I looked like a complete idiot because no one new who I was supposed to be, but i didnt care at all... i always remember that day because I was finally able to be like Harriet the Spy without anyone caring because it was world book day lol!!

Me and my dad was shopping in Morrisons (supermarket)... and next to the till line there is always a basket full of old DVDs for like £2, i always look through there because sometimes I buy one, i found Donnie Darko in there last month =] and suddenly i found Harriet the Spy! I couldn't believe they had actually made it into a DVD! I showed my dad and he was like 'Oh my gooddd!' and bought it me for a keep sake and a memory of me as a kid (my dads like that lol)

I only go to college twice a week... sometimes three times because a lot of my work is done at home so i have a lot of free time to watch different films whilst doing my work... so I put Harriet the Spy on when I was bored... and surprisingly enough I still enjoyed it! I thought I was gonna laugh the whole way through at how perfetic it was, but it wasn't. I decided to blog about it because I actually seriously think this film made me who I am today... or maybe thats not true maybe I loved it so much because when I was 10 years old deep down I always had this love for the media; for photography, films, and magazines.

Harriet's notebook was 100% personal and she wrote what ever she wanted in there... when I first decided to start this blog thats exactly what I had in mind... I know its not 100% personal because all you guys are reading but I have honestly never told anyone I know about my blog (maybe just my lil cousin lol) because I wanted it to be totally me... without having to worry about who's reading.

'I want to see the whole world, and I want to write down everything'

'I want to remember everything. And I want to know everything.'

I 100% relate to these two quotes from Harriet in the movie... I do want to see the whole world... i do want to write down everything... i do want to remember everything... and i do want to know everything. Even though at the time I first watched this movie, I hadn't realised this yet.

So anyway... the interesting part lol! Michelle Trachrenberg is the actress who played Harriet in the movie, and coincidently she's becoming quite successful recently... especially with her new role in Gossip Girl and her new movie with Zac Efron!

I quite like her style as it is... but i'm 100% sure shes going to get noticed more for fashion now shes part of Gossip Girl.. i truly think shes amazingly beautiful so here are some pics =]

Your all going to think i'm mad lol! Even Stevens & Harriet the Spy! haha

PS - MILO VENTIMIGLIA IS IN ENGLAND! omg! I couldnt believe it when he showed up at the BAFTAS! I love him so much! I would have gone to london to find him if i had known! (seriously i met Zac Efron twice haha)

HAHA... clothes from the past

2008-04-20T12:58:00.005+01:00

Thanks for your comments!

A lot of people mentioned that they didn't like Jessica Alba and they have don't know why... ME TOO lol but maybe its because I watched 'Awake' and shes like the biggest bitch in that film!

Oh and sorry about my annoying video! I just had to put it on! Even Stevens <3

Anyway!! So I found a CD named 'Every photo ever taken' its about 2 years old and I opened it and its full of holiday photos, school photos, dance photos and it was so cool... and I was looking at what I was wearing... and because its been only since I left school i've got into fashion so I was quite shocked when I actually didn't look so bad!

These were all about 3 years ago

I actually remember this top... i love the pattern but I dont like the shape, but its okay for young people lol... I even added a lil pink belt! haha

Omg I made a right fuss to get that cap! haha

I remember that jumper was expensive and reallyyy itchy, and then there beige cords that i used to love... but why am i wearing the horrible pink bag! lol i remember i was wearing really cute turquoise flats with this

Thats my dad... haha 'NEW YORK BABE' havent changed much! =]

lol yep so theres some embarrassing photos from my past... most are from the same holiday actually... I wish my hair would curl like that now... actually i quite like how my hair is now... the curls are a little bigger... but I can't always rely on it looking good, where as when I was a kid it just used to go rigglets lol! I guess its all the straightening over the years =]

haha don't be too harsh on me :)

Some Clothes, Some Photography, Some Movies =]

2008-04-16T19:42:00.003+01:00

So I ordered the navy mac and it came this morning!!:

Im really happy with it, its really thin and I was worried about that because its nearly summer.

The other outfit is just a random outfit I wore =]

So I have just started my final term of my two year college course (National Diploma Photography) so it's starting to get manic at college. At the end of each year you have to do a Final Major Project, and now its the end of the whole course I have to do a really big project which a subject of my own choice.

I've chosen Dance =]

I danced for 6 years and I quit 2 years ago when I left school... so I have quite alot of dance knowledge and the best part... I can use my mates as models lol! So I've been researching Dance and Ive found some amazing pics! I thought id share with you =]

The EYE

This wasn't a film I really wanted to see... the trailer looked cool but I'd heard it was poor, as most horrors these days seem to be quite repetitive. It was better than I expected and I liked the fact it wasn't that scary and there wasn't lots of dead people walking around everywhere, but yeah it was nothing really I hadn't seen before. Some of the story line was good but I think the ending was a wasn't so good... if they'd carried on and developed the story line about the girl whos the eyes were originally it would be a bit more interesting but thats just me. C-

Jumper

I wanted to watch this movie after seeing Jamie Bell on the Jonathan Ross show... I thought the idea was so cool! (I love heroes so it reminded me of that and i thought it sounded good) but Jonathan Ross really slated it and said the only good thing about it was Jamie Bell's acting lol. I kind of agree.... Hayden Christensen is so hot... another good thing haha! Nah I enjoyed this film! kind of! lol I thought it had a great start, the start of the film got me really excited for the rest of the film.. but then the storyline turned poor... i think the writers could have done so much more with this idea. Samuel Jackson's hair looked really bad and it annoyed my the whole way through lol! Rachel Bilson & Hayden are both beautiful but not the best actors, but I did like this film more than The Eye C-

University

2008-04-12T13:31:00.010+01:00

I haven't planned to blog about anything so I'll just start and see where it goes =] Ooo so I'm saving up for this Navy Mac/trench... What do u think... I no summers coming and soon the colour will be out of season but truely here in England its never actually hot so I need a light coat like this and Navy is just my colour! The sleeves are removable aswell...What you think?

You all know by now that Jake Gyllenhaal is like perfect in my opinion but recently ivefellin love with Pen Badgley... Aka Dan Humphrey from Gossip Girl... He's just beautiful! One thing you'll come to know about me... I'm celebrity addict I just love celebs in general so I go through phrases.

Alot of people couldn't understand why I gave Cruel intentions a C+... What's wrong with that? Its a good score! I thought it was a good film! but its missing the amazing acting and amazing story line its just good and entertaining if I gave cruel intentions an A what kind of score would I give films like Brokeback Mountain and Sweeney Todd you no what I mean =] although I gave Jesse James a higher score I actually prefered Cruel Intentions! But had to give it a B+ cus of the amazing acting and story line =] glad I cleared that up haha!

University
I've been reading alot about everyone getting into Universities and Colleges, Im moving out and going to Uni in October! not long really... quite scary! Im only moving about an hour east of where I live now so its okay! Im going to Nottingham Trent University to study the Italian Language and Media Studies =] Im so exciting... Im currently attending a night course for Italian so Im quite good... and my mom being Italian and all Im familiar with the language and it would be a dream come true to finally learn it... my course includes a year in Italy so that would be fantastic =] I was planning on studying film studies at university but Nottingham Trent was the only university which let me study Italian + another subject so after thinking about it Media studies is probably better... also after my first year I can specialise in film and TValso i could choose public relations and popular culture.

So in 5 years time ill have a Nation Diploma in Photography and degree in media studies & Italian and hopefully will be able to get a good job in the Media, also considering doing a a postgraduate corse in Hollywood culture and film which would be amazing also id like to study american studies... haha god I want to study everything!!

By the way... remember I'm reading Jarhead... Im loving it.x

Assassination of Jesse James

2008-04-07T18:06:00.008+01:00

So my friend took me vintage shopping :) Although I hardly bought anything, i was quite impressed... there was a huge vintage shop and thrift market, i found most things were to big but i found this pink and white tye dye top, I haven't worn pink and white so I wasn't sure about it, but it was just £4! and no doubt it will look great with some shorts in the summer! Its my first tye dye buy! haha i'm not a big fan of the trend and the only items I like are simple with not such a big pattern so this was perfect! I also wasn't sure about the gypsy type ruffled sleeves... but recently I have noticed more tops like this in the shops... god I wore 100s of gypsy tops when I was like 10! haha

The second isn't thrifted lol! Its £9.99 from H&M and I love the grey/black/navy floral pattern on it.. but it doesn't fit right at all... something i've noticed with H&M cardigans, they only look good if you button them up and they seem to have like a gap for big boobs! Which is unneeded in my case!

The Assassination of Jesse James I watched this film last night because after seeing Casey Afleck's nomination clip at the Oscars I thought he looked quite impressive... plus Brad Pitt is always good! :) Being a 2 and a half hour film its natural for me to get a bit bored an confused after the first half, I think the hardest part was working out who was who and stuff.. but I always kind of knew what was going on which was a good thing... not so confusing. I think some of the film was unnecessary and just confused me lol but i'd say the last hour was fantastic! I mean... nothing amazingly shocking happened at the end... it just generally a great ending! & I think Casey Affleck was amazing! I'm going to start rating films so id give this a B+

Cruel Intentions yeah its and old film but one I've always wanted to watch because I love Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe is amazingly hot! I thought it was good... in some ways weird... i know that they are just step brother and sister I just still think there relationship was weird lol... and one minute Sebastian is a total jerk 2 seconds later he's in love and nice n sweet!... that part confused me lol apart from that i really enjoyed the film! C+

I know I gave Jesse James a better rating than Cruel Intentions... i probably wont ever watch Jesse James again but then id like to watch Cruel Intentions again... if that makes sense.

Oh and Im going to read a book I always try and read books but I never finish them... unless there autobiographys... i love them lol. Well Ive just orderd Jarhead a story of a marine in the gulf war, Im not a big fan of war films... so on but I enjoyed the film so much I wanted to find out more... anyone else read it?

Check Voile Shirt

2008-04-02T21:52:00.003+01:00

A new shirt I bought... £15 ASOS, its a size 8 though, I'm usually a size 6 so i think its a little big. Anyway I had a play around with different ways I could wear it!

Let me know your favourites! and any other ideas you have :)

Not really happy with the first 2 outfits... just experimenting... I love the 3rd outfit... the photo doesn't do it justice, argh I think it looks a bit emo/scene though which is really annoying specially as i was wearing a alice band aswell.

I like all these... i probably wont wear the 2nd one but it looks nice! i look abit to much like a cow girl haha! In the third outfit Im wearing a navy cardigan and its different material from the black wool one above.

Thanks for all your comments! If you didn't read the blog below I asked for you all to tell me abit about themselves! id love to get to know you all abit better :)

2008-04-01T02:00:00.004+01:00

Quite sunny today here in England, so here my first spring outfit fit:

Vanessa Hudgens inspired much?

Maybe I should get my own style!haha

Its a boring outfit but thought id post cus its so simular to Vanessa... I love Vanessa's style, her outfits totally inspires me... this is the only time ive actually totally copied her...

I need a scarf :D (don't ask what Im doing in the picture, i look so stupid!)

New Layout! I was getting so bored of the last one! This one features Gemma Ward, who is amazingly beautiful...

'Welcome to the Suck'

Isn't rude... its the tagline from the film Jarhead... which I love so much right now (alot of people have thought I was being rude, sillyness haha)

Today I made Rice Crispey cakes out of my chocolate eggs! I don't like chocolate much... they taste so much nicer like this:

back from paris

2008-03-29T22:11:00.011Z

I was very impressed with Paris... there are alot of people dotted around that really fashion inspired me, more so than New York. I thought in New york it was all ugg boots and sweaters... but I did spend most my time in very tourist places and didn't venture out towards Soho and so on.
I noticed nearly everyone wore converse! In a fantastic non emo way! Most were worn with straight/skinny jeans and a trench or a mac, I love how the emo trend seems non existant over there!
Some of you commented and said that I should wear my new clothes in Paris... I actually didnt because I was only there for 2 days and I was there for a Football (Soccer) match and fashion is non existant are games so i just throw on my england shirt to support my country :)

Heres a photo of me & my good friend Nathan at the Effiel Tower
(I look really moody but a lil french guy was shooving an umbrella in my face trying to make me buy it haha!)

See what I mean about not being able to control my fringe! (it was raining haha)

I really don't have much to blog about today but i just wanted to state that I have finally understand the Primark craze!!
The primark in my town (Birmingham) is such a mess!! clothes everywhere! its usually totally packed so I really do not have the patience so I always wanted to go to the one in London. But everytime I go to london I get cought up doing something else! So i went to the Primark near me on a quiet afternoon and quickly had a look round! I didnt have much money or much time but I did buy these!

Bag £3 Shoes £8

How amazingly cheap! £3 for a bag! haha Corse it isnt the best quality but who cares! not me! lmao!
My friend is taking me thrift shopping on Saturday, im quite excited lol im new to it! Everytime I see my friend she looks amazing and im like OMG i love your bag! or your shoes! and shes like oh its from the charity shop! :O lmao and ive noticed it with all you bloggers to! So shes taking me out to her shops for the day lol!!
OH! and I was 3 rows back at the football game!! At the corner flag aswell so when Beckham took his corners I was so close!! I could actually see his facial features! haha Was amazing! at one point me and nathan was actually on tv haha... but I left my camera at home! and my phone ran out of battery! gutteddd

PARIS

2008-03-24T13:14:00.005Z

Whey everyone...
thanks for your comments i listened all your advice and I will wear my skirt but right now in England its snowing haha! so when it gets abit warmer. Also alot of people said that where they live when people go clubbing they dress disgustingly.... mini mini mini skirts and belly tops... its the same here! but like you all said... i tried to keep it classy n trendy and not trashy :)

Anyway, i bought a plain black skirt in New York... it was something I was actually looking for because I thought it would look good with quite alot and abit different from my denim one.
Heres 2 outfits with my black skirt... the one with the new york Tee is inspired by this post from The Clothes Horse... because I loove the logo but the shirt is soo cheap and taky so when I saw that post I thought id have ago with what I have :)

I don't like the second outfit.
You might have noticed that you can't see any footwear in these photos. Well its because I had nothing that looked good! Sometimes I wish we didn't have to wear shoes!
And then I thought about all the shoeless models recently... has anyone else noticed?
If anyone watched the Brit awards Leona Lewis perfumed barefoot in an amazing dress I also saw this advertisement in a magazine:

not sure if you can see but the second model has no shoes and I think it looks real good haha!
but she has nice feet haha this is such random post haha
iam sure 'barefootness' will never become a regualar thing but it was something that I thought was funny when I was moaning about not having any shoes lol :)

Anyway! To the point of the post:
Im off to Paris tomorrow morning with my dad and my mate for the England VS France match! Woo but were gonna spend a day in Paris so should be fun, PLUS David Beckham will be playing and I always get star struck when I see him!

OH! & me and my cousin went to see Hannah Montana 3D! lmao
I know I know... im 18 years old! but just something I cant grow out of!! HAHA

Ill be back Friday :D

Red Carpet Preveiw bollocks

2008-03-21T21:02:00.007Z

Glad you all loved my Men Awards! lol
Remember that skirt I keep talking about? heres what I came up with:

(messy room haha)

I love it, but I could never wear this around my town in the summer... I live in a small town in the midlands and well... its not a very fashion forward place so they would all think I was totally mad! But im sure ill wear it in the summer as im spending my summer in Italy.

I went to some club in my town last night (Thursday), Im 18 now and I dont have to worry about being kicked out or getting IDed so it great!! (in the UK you have to be 18 to drink haha) I really didn't no what to wear as I totally didn't want to look chavy and I always want to be abit different and most people wear kind of the same stuff in my town so its not hard! This is what I wore in the end lol!

haha sorry that theres a big pic of my theighs lmao its the only pic i have with the shoes i wore in and it was like a mistake shot haha I haven't done up the waist coat in that pic but it looks better done up its like a really tight one

So... my mom got me tickets to this thing called 'Total film Red carpet preveiw' (website) on the leaflet it told me that 'you will be shown unseen 100% exclusive clips of 2008s most aticipated films including Indiana Jones and The Dark Knight' and I thought great... cus the tickets were actually free, might aswell go down. They also mentioned stalls from various film companys and a goody bag so why not! So i was exspecting lots of Shia Labeouf and Heath Ledger lol so I was way excited...
to my disapointment it was just 80 minutes trailers and the occasional few words from Simon Pegg who I just dont find funny at all!! I was so pissed off lmao! i wanted to see some more clips from the Dark knight and indiana jones but nooo they just showed me the trailers which I have actually seen on Sky Movies recently anyway! and and they even showed the trailer to a film I had watched last week!! After all the trailers were over there was an interval and they were going to put a film on called 'The Waiting Room' they tried to bribe us with 'This film is so new it doesn't even have a release date!!' to me this gave the impression it was going to be shit because they would never show a great movie early lol so we went home at the interval (it was 10pm already) argh really annoyed me! My mom was like.. maybe youtube doesn't count!
Youtube always counts! haha

New York Buys

2008-03-09T00:42:00.005Z

Heyy again everyone... hope everyones okay, sorry i havent had time to reply to everyones comments since ive been back I will do now :) also everyone who I have asked to exchange links and I havent yet done so... I will ive just been abit busy!
Anyway here are some of the clothes I bought in New York that I was telling you about... sorry about the photos I cant take photos of my self very good lol

This is a plain black dress i bought from American Apparel, I really love it one of my fav buys, its going to be great in the summer and i can totally wear it differently... in the first photo im wearing the dress with (my new) converse but I would more likely wear them this with sandals or flip flops. (Very Vanessa Hudgens inspired)

In the first photo im wearing some black skinny trousers in like a nice silky material from urban outfitters.... i like them but I already own black skinny jeans so maybe I could have spent my money on something else. The cute white top is from American Eagle & I added a cool black broch a friend bought me for my birthday. In the second photo just the top and jacket are new... thats the bomber jacket I was trying to explain in my last post... from Forever 21. The 3rd photo is my interpitation of a abercrombie and fitch sales girl haha! nah something casual for college.

Second image is that black dress from first outfit but I was messing about playing dress up and I put this top over my dress and thought it looked quite cool... probably wont wear it but haha.

Heres another close up of my jacket... ive changed the settings on my camera so it looks different on the photos... but its a navy blue in a rain coat kind of material but i love all the detail like the zips and buckles and stuff so i love it... what do you think?

One more thing before I go.... I also bought this skirt, i have no idea how or when I can ever wear this but it was so cute and just $24 from Forever 21 so I couldn't resist... when I wear it, it kinda goes like a tulip skirt... it has a beautiful pattern on it which you can kind of see in the second photo... it fits on my wasit so its kinda high waisted... please give me your ideas on how I could wear this! Fantastic!!

Back from New York

2008-03-06T20:50:00.005Z

Do you ever buy clothes and love them in the shop... But when you get home and u put them on again u really wish you hadn't spent your money? No no no I'm not moaning I had a FANTASTIC time in New York, me and my mom got on great the whole weekend (wen I was younger we used to argue quite alot) but I was just trying on some of my clothes making some outfits and realised 1 top is 2 tight and others just arnt good lol!
I spent nearly all of my money.. I received $950 (around £450) for my birthdaay... To me that's a hell of alot of money... My family arnt exactly rich. I loved new York it was great! I was there 4 days and shopped nearly every day and did some site seeing as we shopped through! American eagle & forever 21 really impressed me, some great things for ridiculously low prices! But I spent most my money in abercrombie.. I was abit disapponted... The place always makes me feel intimerdated but wasn't as bad as the one in London.. Also they didnt have my size in some jeans I wanted which I didnt think would happen... the shop smells so beautiful!! & now all my new clothes smell like it to! haha but i think its a guys colonge.
After trying everything on I noticed most of my buys were very college boyish... Like I brought some light wash destroyed bootleg jeans... Converse! I got a bomber jacket kinda thing in navy which is like rain coat and my brother thought it was his when he saw it! Was all basic stuff really nothing girls or really fashionable... but I like it... Ive desided to stop worrying about what people think of my clothes and as long as I like it it shouldn't matter... And I know everyone says that... But its a really hard thing to do!
Ill post some outfits tomorrow!
I loved Central Park so much it was so amazing! A man on a bike and cart thing gave us a tour and it was so good he told us everything we ever needed to know about New York lol.
oh and that top photo is me and a few mates at my birthday meal... i know i look disgusting... but my outfit was nice. I didnt really try with my hair and makeup... i thought it was just a small family meal but my mom invited loadsa people including a guy i've loved for years family so I got totally nervous and hot and bothered so I ended up just downing as many shots as possible taking advantage of being 18 to make things easier :)

Iam turning 18 in 2 days!

2008-02-25T18:11:00.005Z

Ive blogged alot about fashion recently, and to be honest its not my best point... but I try.
I havent watched any new films, i love my movie channels right now & theres nothing really at the Cinema thats really making me want to organise a cinema trip lol.
The Pursuit of happyness
I watched this for the first time last week, & I thought it was amazing... when it was showing at the cinema it didn't really grab me to watch it but I really thought it was fantastic. I cried at the ending and the scene in the toilet with his son, so amazing. Will Smith was really great, I really love him recently.

So... sorry to go on about it, but I turn 18 in 2 days and I go to New York in 3 days and I have my birthday meal in 1 day! So Im very excited right now!
Ive been planning my trip to New York because its probably going to be the last time I go over to the states for years because Im starting Uni this year. So I want to take advantage of all the great shops :) (& fantastic exchange rate!)
So I dont think Im going to post untill after I get back so then Ill have loads of interesting things to say!

One thing Im planning on buying from New York are some Converse...
I have never in my life wanted converse, but recently I think they look so fashionable and trendy... not the boot like ones the ankle ones.
I either just want some white or navy ones or i quite like these:

So i wanted to ask.
What do you think the best way to wear converse without making them look emo/rock but more trendy and fashionable.
Im thinking ill wear them alot with shorts and skirts in the summer... I have a house in Sicily were Im spending my summer and it wont be a proper holiday (like pool every day, resteraunt every night) I think a pair of converse will be practical.
On this cool fashion forum (click here i reccomend you join up, all the members all have great style.) I found some cool outfits that include sneakers lol so thought id post :)

Image Credit - The first image is from the forum post by a user called prettygirl7
& the second i found on google (if thats you let me know haha)
Oh & Ive just watched the Oscars red carpet with Ryan... I love Anne Hathaway, Heidi Klum & Mileys Cyruss's dresses! The red totally looked amazing! But why does Miley look soo different recently... her teeth look really weird... Iam not bashing ive been a Miley fan for like 2 years!x
But I do beleive Marion Cotillard deffinately had the best dress :)

Pre - Shopping

2008-02-22T20:58:00.005Z

Me & my mom did abit of pre shopping today lol... shopping for shopping! I haven't been shopping for ages like since before xmas because im saving for new york but my mom needed some comfortable boots to walk round NY in and I was after some ankle boots...
I ended up buying cowboyish black boots... I was never into the whole cowboy boots craze/trend but these boots actually looked cute on me. They were from quite a crapy shop but i was desperate so i went in and looked they were just £12. but that wasn't my bargin of the day! My mate works in a shoe shop here called Lilly and Skinners (i think) not really a fashionable shop just practical, but its closing down so there having 'Buy one get one free' and my mate said there was some cool stuff so i should take a look...
My mom found some nice plain boots in there so she told me to have alook around see if there was anything I liked because they would be free... & I found these:

There a nude colour with a shine and quite a thick heel... I absolutly love them! and i love them so much better the fact they cost me (or my mother lol) nothing! I don't really have anything to wear with them right now.
Anyway heres me experimenting with my new dresses :)

This is the one im planning on wearing for my birthday meal...one with my new boots and one my heels and my black cardigan. I also tried it with my leather jacket click to see that. It looks nice with my black wasit coat to. These 2 photos don't really make it look great but I do love it :) Im crap at taking photos in the mirror (my dirty mirror lol)

I quite like this dress now... it was the £6 one, i added the black belt and a cardigan... I tried it with my new boots to. Any thoughts?
Oh one more thing! Thanks everyone for your help with my photography project. Ive lead to this photo...

I really love it, and im good with adobe, so ill be able to edit the dress.
A fashion blogger is selling that dress on ebay... and its really cheap so I thought id by that an use it for my photoshoot... I might do a self portrait as the dress is my size... and my hair is that colour right now... & I dont know wear id find a model lol!

Photography Project - Help!

2008-02-20T19:15:00.009Z

I have a new photography project my tutor gave me to think about...
I thought id ask you lot for your ideas :)
I have to take an artists work (drawing/painting)... and translate it into a photograph. I don't have to completely copy it but take epliments from it. If you don't get what I mean heres an example .

Theres a painting by Manet, recreated by the band Bow wow wow.
I want something cool, fun and realistic... by realistic I mean easy to create and not to hard lol!
I really like this one so far...
What you guys think? Thought Id ask you all as you lot cus you all seem quite creative!

Nexxttt.... you remember that black & white stripe dress I showed you, that I planned to wear for my 18th birthday meal (which is next wednesday:) well this dress was on sale for just £6! So i ordered it aswell as the striped one because I thought it looked like it had potential lol and I could do something great with it... I did actually consider wearing this for christmas day when it was still £30. Any ideas how I could wear this? I was thinking I would wear a belt with it, depending on where the Lurex part ends on me...

Im just watching the brits... its been on 10 mins and its been amazing so far!! Mika & Beth Ditto were so amazing!! Im not really a Mika fan but he did Britain proud! And well Beth Ditto's song 'Standing in the way of control' also known as 'The Skins song' lol was probably my song of 2007! So I thought the opening was fantastic! Im backing Artic Monkeys & Mark Ronson I think tonight... and Rhianna is about to sing with the Klaxons & She looks fantastic! Although I think Ive heard to many versions of Umbrella.

Fashion wise I haven't been very impressed... I thought Kylie looked so beautiful, her hair was great. I didn't like Leona Lewis dress much at all... the brits come once a year... and im sure she wont be up for so many awards next year so I think a better dress was in order lol.
Anyway Artic Monkeys made me chuckle! they always try and do something special & theve dressed as posh english men! haha & I think they look real smart lol! Specially the main guy in the black sweater. lol dont no his name :)

Thanks everyone! really apriciate all your comments!!
PS.Would still love tips for my shopping trip to New York, I go the 29th! so excited!
I made a video of all cool (& sexy) bits of Mitch Hewers character Maxie... its quite long but so cool! First its Maxxie dancing cus hes an amazing dancer and then its parts of skins :)

Mitch Hewer

2008-02-18T19:42:00.009Z

Mitch Hewer
He plays a gay teenager in the hit UK teenage drama Skins.
Lets not talk about the acting side of things because to be honest... he's not the best of actors!
I think the Skins people have done a great thing making him a main character because
he's so hot this series, he's defiantly been trying hard at the gym... a bit to much on the
sun bed but I think that's for his character.

I wanted to talk about his character Maxie Oliver's fashion, its kinda bad that the Skins people have stereotyped the gay to have a good sense of fashion lol

I love the brown and pink stripe top with the shirt, the middle one he wore to a rave/party and he was all in white and looked a bit over stylish but acceptable. There's only been one episode of the second series... episode 2 is on tonight so looking forward to seeing Maxie's outfits lol.

After all that I thought i'd blog about some guy fashion... what I like in a guy. To be honest I don't think I could date a guy who was totally fashion forward just someone who knows what looks nice and cares about what they look like. I think for me he has to wear good denim. If I don't like a guys jeans... haha. I don't like skinnys much but straights good and occasionally some guys really make baggy look good, but they have to be well made and maybe a bit of detail. I think with guys jeans its really easy to make them look cheap.

I love those 3 pairs... I know there all quite similar, I don't like dark jeans much. Only if there skinny. I love the 3rd photo whole outfit... nice and simple. These jeans are by Diesel & Lee.

Anyway...
I'm totally loving these metallic bomber jackets Vanessa Hudgens has been wearing.
I really like the gold... hoping to get one while I'm in New York... anyone know
any good shops that sell them apart from Urban Outfitters & American Apparel
where I could buy something like these?

Thanks for everyone's lovely comments on my hair... I've got used to it now and
I like it :)

My new Hair.

2008-02-16T17:46:00.004Z

So Ive gone from blonde... to.. black, I didn't want black hair, I wanted more Cheryl Tweedy than Lilly Allen (I dont like Cheyrl Tweedy) all my mates have said its not black at all and its a nice dark brown and they seem happy with it...but I was more than shocked upset and disapointed with this new colour.

To be honest it doesn't look that bad... part of me really likes it. But its just not me at all, not my style. I feel it looks stupid with some of the clothes I wear and stuff. I also think it looks very fake. Not stylish or trendy at all. I did actually ask to go back to my natrual colour and this is what she gave me so.

I feel like someone has plonked a wig on me! & I have to go to New York like this and have my 18th birthday... argh im sure ill get used to it, she told me it would fade to.

From these to photos I think it looks better than the blonde but I would be so much happier if it was a few shades lighter! And i have to wear loads more makeup and in person it just doesnt look that good.

Whats everyones opinions!? try and convince me that I don't look like a goth/stacey slater! :(

PS. Mind the reallyy terrible pics :)

18th Birthday...

2008-02-14T23:24:00.013Z

Heyy again everyone... a nice blog from me today :)
Now valentines day is over!
I actually had a cool day... had a indian with my mom and dad which was so beutifull lol! and we watched Little Miss Sunshine... which i thought was a great movie! So unexpected... I though Paul Dano was great and has give me some reason to watch There will be blood cus i just cant bring my self to...

Anyway... on the 28th of February its my 18th birthday, which I guess its a big deal! I'm actually going to New York with my mom for a long weekend! HOW FANTASTIC!! Were espically going for shopping and the exchange rate is soo fantastic ($100=£50) I cannot wait to go Abercrombie. Im planning on getting some new uggs because mine are ruined Ive had them like a year an a half and as there half price in NY so I should... does anyone have any shopping tips for me?
My favourite stores online are Free people, forever 21, urban outfitters... so I have to go all of them. I also would love an Ed Hardy cap.... but have no idea wear i could buy one from?
Would reallyyy apriciate it if you could give me some ideas :)

Im flying from London early morning on the 29th so me and my mom have to make our way down to london on my actual birthday but Im having a meal on the 27th... and Ive been working out what im wearing. What do you guys think of this....
DRESS
I really liked this when I was looking, I was actually looking for a cute floral tea dress but thought this was quite nice... I was thinking either with my black leather jacket or a black cardigan... black tights and either cute rounded black heels or some tan boots like the model? this is for a meal out so i guess the heals an leather jacket? but im thinking about buying these tan boots aswell just because ive been wanted some for ages and these are actually on sale and not to cowboyie. (plus there on sale)
BOOTS

Thanks xxx

Valentines day

2008-02-12T22:50:00.012Z

Valentines day is a shmock
Its just an excuse for people to spend money and remind them selves tha someone loves them and someone finds them attractive. Were it just reminds people like me that no1 loves them and that no1 finds them attractive. Yes, this blog is coming from a bitter single girl who has nothing better to do on this special day :)
Maybe I wouldn't be so single today if I didnt have a really weird taste in guys... you know Im generally attracted to fantastic looking, toned, happy, healthy, talented and sucsessful lads. Actually Im not that fussy, one of my perfect guys would be Michael Cera (Superbad, Juno) and my Mom keeps reminding me that he isn't the best looking guy in the world, but hes cute, talented, sucessful, not fat, probably healthy and Sicilian and thats just great lol! (other perfect guys include Milo Ventimiglia & Orlando Bloom)
Most the time I don't mind being single... but alot of the time I hate it. Examples of when it really hurts is when old family and friends come over and they ask me (or my mom) if I have a boyfriend... and when I say no they pull this big shocked face as if to make out that they are generally shocked. As if Im the prettiest, most stylish, and nicest person in the world, and not a crooked nosed spotty 5ft shrimp with uncontrolable curly hair and abit of a teenage attitude.
I walked into the room once and my mom was trying to explain to an old family friend why I didn't have a boyfriend!
What the hell is that about?
Why is it so weird for a 17 year old girl to be single in this world?
They all compare me to my older cousins who have had serious relationships (with my bestfriends) since they were 14.
Well anyway... some good news is that im having my hair done tomorow :) At the moment im quite blonde with a full fringe and just longer than shoulder length. My hair is natrually quite dark and this blonde I cant take anymore! Just after a week of spending at least £70 at the hairdressers my roots have grown back and looks terrible! It makes my hair look really week and when I have it curly it doesnt curl properly! So Im going dark again... quite dark actually... like a dark chocolate, ill like it no matter what because ive been dark most of my life so! Will add a photos tomorow :)
Ive chosen to put a pic of Orlando Bloom on this post cus it will cheer me up! HAHA
also added a new banner!
Sorry about the moaning and I hope everyone has a nice Valentines day :)

BAFTAS

2008-02-10T22:47:00.000Z

Firstly... very shocked (& happy!) that Matt Willis & Emma Griffiths were working for E! on the red carpet!! (Im a big Matt Willis fan!!) He realllyyy does need to get back to the gym and get back to fit busted days though! Emma looked fabulous!
SHIA LABEOUF!
I was sooo happy, hes deffinately one of my favirates actors, and I genuinly was happy... shame he wasn't there, he won best rising star. Also would have been nice to see Ellen Page win!
Was quite shocked with some of the winners, This Is England. Best british film? I was disapointed with this... people watch this film and think this is the best film England can produce? what? I personaly hated this film thought it was horrible and volgare. Although the little boy actor did a great job but it makes my country seem so horrible! Atonement deserved it I beleive.
I havent seen Michael Clayton so cant judge Tilda Swinton but i was hoping for Saoirse Ronan :) for best supporting actress.
Was also very happy that Diablo Cody won best Orignal Screenwrite for Juno was very happy and abit suprised about that. I watched an Oscar nominations show and it was 3 posh people predicting oscar winners and they were soo nasty about Juno!
I got really sad half way through when they did the memorial bit about the death of the year. How sad? They put Heath Ledger at the end made it quite long. and then they went back to the audience to see a very very sad Orlando Bloom.. breaks my heart :(
Fashion:
I noticed black was a very popular colour, not sure why.
These two outfits were my favourite.

BUT! If anyone else watched live from the red carpet on E! Matt & Emma kept talking to a fashion critic and she was wearing the most amazing dress... like a flowy black an white print and at the chest it had some amazing pinks and stuff! That was my fav dress of the night and I couldnt find any pics!

Marc Jacobs Stam bag & Brokeback mountain - What do you think

2008-02-10T13:48:00.000Z

I have this horribe disease

its called....

'Poor girl wants Marc Jacob bag'

lol! ooh god!

But theres always replicas right, and where i live people dont even know who Marc Jacobs is never mind work out if im carrying a replica or not!

Ive finally reached the I want a quilted bag stage... and i know its old but i keep being draged to the Marc Jacobs stam bag... in Navy because I love navy right know. Thats the replica its still real leather and $150 im probably going to get it... what you think? maybe another colour?

Brokeback Moutain - Ennis Del Mar
I always said I wouldn't watch Brokeback Mountain, I'm not the kind of person who finds gay relationships comfortable to watch (sorry that's just me) so I didnt watch it no matter how fantastic the reveiws were. But the day after Heath Ledger died a movie channel played a tribute night and Brokeback mountain was starting so me and my friend decided to watch, kind of out of respect as it was his most awarding film.

I want to talk about the effects & emotions this film gives us, I have read alot of blogs saying it changed there lives. Why and how? This film has deffently effected me else I wouldn't be blogging about it.
My emotions were so mixed and confused. I wanted to be upset for Ennis Del Mar and I felt like I should have been but I just wasn't, maybe because I personly find the relationship arkward or because I see the bad in him and think of Alma. Alot of my emotions were for Alma. I didnt have many feelings towards Jack Twist I thought he was abit naive and less complex than Ennis. I think Jack was actually gay and in denial were as Ennis was totally confused, Ive read somewhere that Ennis is actually bi sexual but more on the straight side... and he would have never even thought about being gay unless he had met Jack.

Everything Heath Ledger did in this film was amazing, the tone of his voice, his attitude, his accent, even the way he holds himself. I adored the aging process in this film. I think Jake n Heath used great sutle ways to show aging.
I was also impressed with Anne Hathaway, her last scene when she's talking to Ennis is so arkward and gritty it was great (although I was shocked when the Princess got her boobs out lmao)
I found myself watching this film again with more concentration but I just don't get why this film has effected me so much? So I wanted to ask you? Was it the love story? Would you have felt the same if it was a hetrosexual relationship an there was a reason for them not being able to be togetherOr was it the fact they were men? Did it change your feeling towards male relationships? or was it something totally different

Sorry I really am not homophobic lmao even if this post makes out like I am!

Oh and im sorry about the swearing at the start of my video! one of my fav scenes ever!

England 2 1 Switzerland

2008-02-07T12:58:00.000Z

Yesterday I went to the England Match down at Wembley
England VS Switzerland

Tas Capellos first match in charge so i was quite excited to see what he was going to do. Im an England fans card holder so I go to every home match (although it takes us 3 hours to get there) luckily for me my dad is a massive football fan so he takes me and my brother down and he would never miss it!

(anyone else interested in football?)

I was suprisingly happy with the performance espically with Joe Cole I think hes so amazing! So in my blog today I want to breifly talk about the day I met Joe Cole <3 :) (I know some people from other countries wont know who he is but hes a big football star here)
My Dad being football mad an all, he always checks out England fans websites for competitions and stuff. & this wasn't really a competition we had the opitunity to go to a question and answer sesion with one of the England players we didnt know who it would be (Me hoping John Terry or Joe Cole) but we went along anyway. There was only about 20 people there, and yep it was Joe Cole I was in total shock & it was so cool because we got to talk to him ask him questions and get autographs because there wasnt many people there.

Anybody else met any celebrities?... Ive met Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens kind of at a meet and greet... theres a video here. (dont laugh, i was very nervous lmao)

Have you seen Lauren Conrads new spring collection? Im not really a fan of LCs fashion but she always looks nice so I was interested to see.

I was quite disapointed... it all seems quite basic as the moment there are a few nice peices but not really my style. Although I do quite like this outfit, the cardigan/wrap thing is really me lol.

PS. Id also like to note how great I think Rhianna looks in this fantastic green dress at this unicef event. CLICK

Abit about me

2008-02-04T20:15:00.001Z

(Click all images to enlarge) Today Im gonna talk about my fashion, films and photography. No moaning all ranting no matter how stressfull college was today :)

Film
I sat down and watched Atonement, yeah it was a great film but, although i apriciate oscar nominated films such as this and Brokeback Moutain, the fantastic acting that touches & effects some people I just cannot call them my favourite films. I enjoy films with abit more action and abit more comedy, thats why Im backing Sweeney Todd and Juno this year. Although the costumes in Atonement deffinatly impressed me, but I'm not referring to that beautiful green dress that Keria Knightley wears so well, some of Briony's (Saoirse Ronan was fantastic) and Cecillia's outfits in the earlier part of the film i thought were also great!

Fashion
Now... i love fashion and I know everyone says that but i think everyone does? Or maybe I don't love fashion, maybe i just want to look my best. My life is probably revolved around clothes. I'm not an extravagant person when it comes to fashion I try to keep it single but lovely. I know this might sound abit odd as there a hundreds of other fantastic fashion idols but id say Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical) deffinately inspires me! Ill link to some of my fav outfits worn by her. Heres an outfit i wore to college once, i guess this is me being quite daring wearing a dress and purple tights (Click to see better) I havent taken any pics to actually show my outfits but here are some others that you can see abit.

CLICK: Just an outfit i wore to college... i love my shoes an jeans

CLICK: Wore this to a black & white night on new years eve

Photography
Argh now to my photography... not a subject i like to share much :) At college we are more experimenting with photography so I have never actually created anything amazing. Throughout the year we have different projects and Ill just share some of my recent ones with you

This was for my digital imaging class... we had to recreate 4 magazine covers for ID magazine but each had to be a season. I wasnt really happy with my results... i really dont like summer but i got highest grade so :) (Can only find Winter and Autumn will add other 2 when i can find them)

At the moment we are doing Montage photography.... like panaramic photography. I love my room so i desided to do different kind of montages of my room. This one shows all of my room so thought it would be interesting to show you :)

Today I displayed my montages on the wall for the verifyer tomorrow! Heres a pic of my display (click)

I hope i havent bored you to much :)

Let me know what you think

Let me be a kid!

2008-02-02T19:14:00.000Z

Argh I've had a hell of the past few days, todays been ok but yesterday and day before were just a nightmare!

At the moment i'm studying Photography at college, and I only have class Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays... so on a Thursday & Friday I just chill at home watching films and on the net (or playing on sims, is what i like to do lately lol) but my Mom really can't stand the fact I sit at home all day doing nothing, which is fair enough... but not really lol. Shes been pestering me about a job since I've left school... i had one about a year ago and it was terrible! Telesales, cold calling... calling random numbers trying to sell them things, and everyone hates cold callers! It was 6 days a week 4 hours a day and i totally hated it so i quite after 3weeks and aint had a job since. Yeah Id want a job but its to much hassle... know one replies when i apply for jobs and when i go into a shop and ask they auomaticly say no because they think i'm a 12 year old! (I'm quite short you see)
I'm leaving home in 6 months and starting University... and what my ive tried to tell my mom is that im leaving home in 6 months and ill have to get a job and ill have to clean and look after my self and ill hjave to study reallyyy hard so please just let me chill and be a kid while i still got it!
buttt noooooo haha (so now shes refused to give me any money untill i get a job)

Anyway! My parcel came today! As you read my blogs you'll realise I'm and online shopper! I love clothes from America... Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Urban outfitters the rest of it... if your from America your probably thinking... why on earth? because I understand everyone wears them... but for me its good!! No one wears those clothes here and i like to be abit unique.

When it comes to fashion you'll also notice I'm a cardigan girl (if theres such thing) I have like a million cool cardigans. Well thats my cardigan i ordered its abercrombie i love it :)

I got a problem... I've had a full fringe cut in recently... but i have natrually really curly hair and although i spend ages styling it every morning every single day by the time i get to the bus stop its a total messs!!!
Anyone got any tips and advice for me controlling my mad fringe! Im thinking about having it chemically straightened but i heard its really bad for your hair!

Thanks guys :)

Sweeneys waiting...

2008-02-01T01:58:00.000Z

Firstly... Yay Its February! I turn 18 this month! I also go to New York!
I saw the trailer like 3 months ago.. I still can't beleive they have made a film about Sweeney Todd!

& Jonny Depp as Sweeney! how perfect... & a musical! I knew i was going to love this. As the months went on and the trailers and reveiws started... i got abit worrid because I imagined maybe it was a gothic sick movie specially when it was rated 18!
When I was younger (I'm talking like primary school) We used to learn about Sweeney Todd & my dad used to tell me the story about him aswell and i used to be well fasinated! So i was so excited to see this film

It was quite weird seeing Jonny Depp dressed as Sweeney Todd, with the voice of Jack Sparrow and his hair deffently reminded me of Edward Scissor hands. But he deffently did a good job creating a new character. I think he smiles once during the whole film. I heard alot of reveiws about him, saying he didn't have the best voice... I beleive his voice fits perfect for the role... and its quite sexy aswell, like husky but also scary and dramatic.
The songs are very catchy songs, not the average musical songs but yet they remind me of Oliver Twist because of the strong London accent. Mrs Lovett, played by Helena Borham Carter is a fantastic charater and her singing is so much fun! She singing really cute and fast and most the time you don't really understand what shes saying but its really catchy. I thought she was great in the movie. Another character called Toby played by a young boy called Ed Sanders deffently impressed me, he was fantastic! Such a great singer if Oliver Twist is ever remade (no doubt it will) I think he should be certainly cast as the Artful dodger!

Id deffently recomend you seeing this film... i must admit it is abit gory and there is alot of blood, but its honestly not that bad. It is not a scary film, we feel more sorry for Sweeney than scared.
I think if you wanted to see this but changed your mind after knowing it was gory i think you should still go. I would deffently give this film 4 or 5 stars i totally enjoyed it, and theres a fantastic twist at the end!

Also I watched the film Juno recently... and i thought that was really good to aswell. :)

EDIT: I just realise 'deffently' isn't a word & i used it throughout this blog, I did infact mean... deffinately (i think!) i thought it looked abit funny! Its my accent sorry!
ALSO: I added one of my favourtie songs from the movie as a video on my side panel so be sure to check it out

Why so serious?

2008-01-31T13:27:00.000Z

So I enter the world of blogging...
well not exactly, i used to always have some kind of blog going when I was younger but since I started college letting my feelings out publicly was the last thing i wanted to do, so I've stayed closed for a while.
Ive desided to continue blogging as I'm in my final year of college and my 'fellow students' are least likely to know i have this journal never mind actually read it! So I should be safe to say anything.
I used to hate reading & commenting other peoples blogs... so Ill understand when I have no friends on here lol!
I'm planning to not go into much personal detail about me (like every single thing ive done every single day, that will just bore any readers i do have!) but more like personal opinion on world action, films & fashion.

I think its relavant to start off with lil something about Heath Ledger, because it's and awful shame.
Although I wasn't a big fan when he was a alive I certainly new who he was and enjoyed his films... & since then I have watched more and more of his films on the tribute nights on the TV to discover he was a fantastic actor and it upsets me to think he died so young.

& I'm first in line to see 'The Dark Knight'
