new year, my dear

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and enjoyed it as much as I did, I don't think I've ever eaten so much in such a short space of time. I'm unsure why, but I really appreciated it more this year, what with all the presents that I don't deserve at all, I have such wonderful friends and family that I majorly take for granted.
Anyway, I really can't believe 2012 begins tomorrow. Despite this year having it's ups and downs, I've rather enjoyed it and (hopefully) learnt from the many mistakes made. Crazily I actually have plans for this evening, though the prospect of a warm house, awful television and lots of food seems ever tempting.. Especially when the person you'd actually quite like to spend new year's eve with is quite a distance away, going out seems a depressing prospect. I hope everyone's year ends on a good note and 2012 get's off to a god start (hopefully not hungover!)

Love always,

The nightmare before Christmas

Today has felt lovely and festive (as well as pretty chilly). We managed to wander to town where all our family friends tend to gather. I received some birthday presents along with yet more champagne, which my mother drank a tad too much of (resulting in her being chatted up by a man who told my father he was the luckiest man alive) creating interesting consequences. I really can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow, as much as I love the presents,  I think it's the atmosphere that makes it, with the endless boxes of quality street, seasonal films and everyone making an effort to keep the peace for once. Merry Christmas to everyone for tomorrow, and I hope Santa brings what you want!

Love always,

happy unbirthday to me!


18 at last, wow, and I feel no different whatsoever. Well, at least now I can vote and maybe sneak a sherry or two. I've received excellent presents coming in the forms of books of historical tweets, pretty scarves, alcohol, vouchers, a new fangled phone and money. Which I shall no doubt be spending on some lovely new clothes. 
Anyway, France was exquisite.


  





The boy who's a friend and his family were kind enough to let me stay with them there for a few days. On my last day they made me a fabulous breakfast with bucks fizz and pancakes, fig 1&2. Image 3 is the result of cheap fire lanterns as featured in the final picture. France was nearly set to go up in flames.
Apologies for the very self related post, I'll be back on track with the clothing posts soon enough!
Hope everyone is excited as I am for Christmas and all the shopping is hopefully done (unlike mine!)

the weather outside is frightful

Well today's been rather chilly. I awoke to the pleasing thought of not having sixth form and after watching wonderful early morning television, was greeted by mass flurries of snow. Granted, we literally couldn't go anywhere as the roads were yet to be gritted, but still everything looks pretty.
Anyway, I'm (hopefully) flying off to France on Sunday and am at a party (unlike me I know) tomorrow, so I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and gets everything they want!
Love always,

Well, today was my last day at sixth form and despite teachers making a concerted effort to get us into the Christmas spirit (quizzes and quality street in English, monopoly in economics) I am yet to feel completely festive. Perhaps it's the lack of snow or maybe just that we don't have a tree yet, but I'm sure it shall kick in soon.I'm off to le Francais on Sunday though of course am nowhere near ready and will undoubtedly leave packing until the last minute. Who needs organisation?

On another note, look at all these pretty clothes from 'celine'. Just some inspiration as there really is little point putting these beautiful items on a wish list..

the warmth of your eyes swept me into your arms

Today I have done nothing more than play Shakespeare charades (a game I highly recommend) and have a chilly walk home.




Just some pretty things I would like, on my polyvore account.
So many clothes, so little money.

I do enjoy my monochrome, I go through phases of wanting all my clothes to be clean cut and minimal, then suddenly to festive prints and dozens of layers. The majority of today has been spent inside which isn't surprising looking at my lack of warm attire.

How beautiful are all of these clothes?

colour block tango


everything - Primark because I have no money


Pretty simple outfit for today, but I love the colour of this cardigan (which my terrible camera does no justice for) as well as the necklace. Primark is so excellent for jewellery especially when you're short on funds. Yesterday was parents evening, well, for sixth formers it's called ""consultation evening"" which went better than was anticipated. Today I think I'm being summoned to go Christmas tree shopping and if yesterdays weather is anything to go by the scarves and gloves shall be on. As chilly as it does get, I really enjoy the build up to Christmas, the evening shopping trips and the mindless talent shows and festive films on the television. Speaking of which my all time favourite film is on tomorrow (Elf) the script of which I can pretty much recite without error. I hope everyone else's Christmas plans are going well and plenty of premature mince pie and chocolate consuming is being done!

This weekend has been utterly marvellous. Yesterday was spent rehearsing for a play then off to see breaking dawn with a lovely friend I very rarely see. Both agreed on how we were very envious of Kristen Stewart, on account of her looks, as well as being in certain scenes with Mr Pattinson. Today was spent eating cake, wandering round fields half frozen to death and then having a meal with another lovely friend. I seem to have however, developed a cold for somewhere and odds are, warm clothing will form a large section of my birthday present.



Thought I'd join the generic bandwagon of posting a .gif of myself.

TGIF is all I can really say, I'm so greatful for the weekend to finally be upon us. I quite like the frosty mornings and early evenings that winter brings, providing the perfect excuse for me to wear multiple layers of knitwear. Tomorrow shall certainly be spending tomorrow layered up as I'm off to locate a Christmas tree in the morning (we go and dig ours up because we're abnormal) then off to the cinema with a friend who lives far away to see 'Breaking Dawn'. I've read the Twilight series, and if I'm being honest didn't mind them too much and find Robert Pattinson rather attractive.. though maybe in this one Meyer took a tad too far? Anyway, I'm sure my mind shall be made up soon, TeAm EdWaRd 4EVERR x0x0x0x
