i think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing but you, you just know, you just do



today i think im gonna let the pictures do the talking. after such a long post it feels right to have a short one. the beautiful title lyrics are from the xx and the photography is from roberta ridolfi. just enjoy the photography, i love these pics so much x
p.s. i forgot in my last post my all time favourite break up song which brings me close to tears everytime i hear it which is kind of ironic considering the title dry your eyes by the streets

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

    but her eyes glaze over like shes looking straight through me then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity











    i was reading this post on a blog i love called amore fashion and she was talking about helena bonham carter and it just reminded me of how much i love her and her whole gothic look. its weird coz i have a friend who has the same look, big black hair, white nearly silver skin. she has such a great 'i dont give a shit' look but still remains a lovely person.
    she really inspires me, like desperately seeking susan, to wear black lace and just let my thick black hair just go crazy! i bought a new deep purple eyeshadow from MAC and when i was choosing it i was like to my friend 'i want my eyes to look like two big bruises' and my friend was laughing and was like 'only you rebecca!' i also went into topshop and there was this gorgeous dress that was a sleeveless black lace dress and i was desperate for it but it was forty quid and i would have to wear it with a whole outfit underneath but it would really transform a purple top and skirt to wear that on top. maybe ill save up!
    last night i watched airplane which is a film released in 1980 and its just hilarious in that monty python way so if you like that then definitely watch airplane!
    ive currently rediscovered the streets. im listening to fit but you know it and dry your eyes. fit but dont you know it is just so funny. its just a normal guy fancying a girl in the queue for some fast food place but its just hilarious the lyrics and btw the title lyrics are from dry your eyes. really beautiful song.
    ive also rediscovered rasmus and franz ferdinand so no new music today! oh actually i am loving bombay bicycle club and they are quite new.
    so this has been a long post (as usual)! have a lovely evening and a good night x

    some sad news


    i am leaving you. im just going to say it straight! i am leaving the wonderful blogging for a whole 6 days (me trying not to be melodramatic is like a fish surviving out of water ie its never gonna happen!) i am off to see my dad who lives in london and i am very excited. im going to the theatre, camden market and oxford street and possibly other shopping places. i love shopping and my dad is willing to take me. im quite excited as my dad is taking a few days off from work but a few days im just gonna go around london by myself which is just so cool. i remember last time i went and i just went to oxford street by myself then came back and let myself into my dads flat and i just felt so independent. thats something i am so grateful for. coz my mom hates shopping i have been shopping by myself for a long time. i got a debit card when i was twelve. thats the great thing about having divorced parents, you really have to be independent.
    so abit of music to listen to:
    • okay you know my florence obsession. just check her out. legendary.
    • la rouxs song quicksand is my new obsession even though its quite old. la roux is just amazing and so talented.
    • lily allen is so talented and she has come back with an amazing album.
    • pink has just got the most gorgeous sexy voice. its amazing. im so desperate to have a voice like that. id do anything for it.
    • calvin harris has got some amazing songs out at the moment namely ready for the weekend
    • the streets-fit but you know it. just heard it on the radio and its so cool. the lyrics are so amazing. amazing is my new favourite word.
    • nelly furtado. shes just done that flo rida song jump which is decent but i love some of her older stuff like maneater.
    • run this town. im sure youve heard so much about this. its a monster! jay z, rihanna and kanye west. it cant be anything but amazing and they really dont disappoint with this killer of a tune!
    • check out the goo goo dolls who are just amazing. they have some new stuff but iris is still my favourite. just beautiful music.

    so thats enough i think if you find any good music then tell me about it and btw i may be able to do my blog from london but im not sure so if not bye everyone. have an amazing week without me! x
