i probably wont blog for 2 weeks now so i hope you wont miss me too much.. its fine ill be back before you know it!
lets end with some music .. currently im loving some florence (theres a suprise!) and miike snow. i havent listened to miike snow in ages!

you dont know what love is, you wouldnt do this if you did..




isnt this just some beautiful photography? its by julia prokhorova. i think my favourite is the third picture.. thats what i wanna do just sit on a tree with a friend and chat for hours feeling the sun beating down..
okay back to reality! the title lyrics are from plan b's new single she said. i love this song so much..
im wearing one of my favourite outfits today. its like really cool, comfy and casual (the 3 c's of perfection!) im getting into a really summery mood at the moment maybe its coz im going to gibraltar on wednesday and its gonna be pretty hot there, i cant wait!! i was trying on my shorts yesterday that i can never wear in manchester, its way too cold here!
have a lovely day x

your skin and bones turn into something beautiful, d'you know, do you know i love you so, you know i love you so





love the use of colour in these pictures from the wonderful matt sundin..
currently im listening to the passin pit remix of telephone by lady gaga and beyonce which is really cool but only if you normally like what passion pit do coz they really changed the song alot.
im just loving music at the moment that just takes away your breath coz its so sad/beautiful. my favourite for that is the xx but also yellow by coldplay (thats where the title lyrics are from) also emilys heart by jamie t. you know a lot of eminems music sort of takes your breath away and your like this cant be for real. its so sad and beautiful. love it!
and one more dry your eyes by the streets. listen to those lyrics, so fucking sad and clever and very true.
have a great week x

and i dont want the world to see me 'cause i dont think that theyd understand, when everything's made to be broken i just want you to know who i am





hey, some beautiful photography to enjoy.. photography is weirdly inspiring...
anyway i did really bad in some modules so yesterday was quite a horrible day getting those results back but now im okay. ive realised i need to be working alot harder and thankfully i can retake all of them in june.
my soundtrack yesterday was the xx album. last night i just listened to it on repeat. im so happy ive got the album FINALLY! also loving yellow by coldplay. ive never been particularly into it but im just currently obsessed with it oh and the title lyrics are from the goo goo dolls song iris. im dedicating it to my friend and her epic crush!
have a great weekend hopefully i'll just do lots of shopping! x

im not trying to pull you even though i would like to, i think you are really fit, youre fit but my gosh, dont you know it





some gorgeous photgraphy by irwin barbe. love it! (title lyrics from the streets)
you know my problem with blogging is that ill discover some new music and by the time i actually write about it im just not that into it so lets talk really new music before i forget again!
i love local natives who ive actually liked for a long time but keep on forgetting to blog about but i still adore their single airplane.
also i love professor green. i heard his single about a month or two ago and i didnt really like it that much but ive really fallen in love with it! its called i need you tonight and its just a really fun song. he actually went on tour with lily allen so if you were lucky enough to see lily you would have seen him as well!
another song which ive forgotten to write about is audio bullys new single only man. it reminds me a bit of bloc party and its just a massive song. really cool. also reminds me of one life stand by hot chip, where the hell has that song gone?! i love that song!
the problem with some bands is that they have such a long annoying name that you just cant be bothered writing down to check out. ou eh la swimming pool is one of those bands. ive literally been into their music for about 6 months but today was the first day i actually googled them! they have this amazing song called dance the way i feel which i think was their last single but only now am i obsessed with it! im so slow sometimes!
hope youre all well. all my family seems to have gone down with colds but we all seem to be getting better. its nearly spring now so goodbye to colds! i just bought a really summery skirt and im feeling very summery at the moment, just refusing to wear a coat (probably the reason for my cold!) x

i am yours now so now i dont ever have to leave ive been found out so now i'll never explore












this is some beautiful photography from lucie camp. but today im talking music!
so here is my five favourite songs at the moment:
emilys heart- this is by jamie t and what a beautiful song! its so lazy and gorgeous.. im just in heaven when i listen to this. its very slow and its got this beautiful guitar.. i just love it. i can tell its not gonna do well in the charts but thats what i love about it. its quite simplistic but very clever
  • dry your eyes- i love this song by the streets. it honestly brings me near to tears which is funny considering the title!
  • stay too long- i love what plan b is doing at the moment and this song is just amazing. its got so much energy, so much urgency. i love that whole urgent sound like what arctic monkeys used to sound like. now theyre these celebs, their music just sounds a bit lazy. its really annoying coz there are so many artists who's first albums i love and then they come out with some new stuff and its good but nowhere near as good as their old stuff. well plan b is the exception and pink.
  • the pretender- obviously by the foo fighters. i love the energy of this song. its just immense!
  • crystalised- i think this is the new single by the xx. i bought this album and i just love it. all their songs are so slow and beautiful. the vocals are amazing.

    hope youve had a good week. its nearly the weekend now! very exciting! im currently off school with a horrible cold but this is a great time to catch up with blogging! look at me being all positive! x

    because maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me


    i just received this award which is very exciting coz i think its my first award! check out her blog here. anyway i have to write about 10 things that make me happy so here goes:
    1. music- so much music just puts a smile on my face. im normally into quite depressing stuff but my favourite upbeat artist at the moment is plan b. i just love what he's doing.
    2. my friends- especially my friend rivka who is just off her head (in a good way)!
    3. food- sorry its quite shallow but honestly having a piece of chocolate makes my day
    4. radio- i find it so hard to go a day without listening to the radio. my radio is just always on and if im on the computer then i'll listen online. im just obsessed with radio 1!
    5. beautiful photography- i love inspiring pictures. i love those pictures that just make everything look possible. its hard to explain the affect of photography, its just magical..
    6. my weird family- my family are just mad but thats how i like it! some people have such normal, non-embarrassing families and i honestly feel bad for them!
    7. boys- yesterday i saw the boy my friend has/had a crush on. yep he is fit!
    8. fashion- i love dressing up in new interesting styles. yesterday i wore a top with a vest top on top with a black skirt and some grey jeans underneath and my lovely converse. im definitely repeating the outfit! it was so comfy and had this really cool casual look.
    9. blogging- writing an amazing post is always so exciting and reading other peoples posts that are amazing.. i just love it!
    10. comedy- i love a good stand up to watch when im feeling down. i love russell howard, he is hilarious!

    have a lovely week x
