and your skin is so white underneath the black night







the nearer we get to winter, the nearer the world is to turning black and white forever.
i dunno where that came from!
i think thats why i suddenly turn to greys and blacks in my wadrobe, just trying to fit in! but i do try and be like florence (last picture) and just wear something crazy although i dont think that is one of her normal outfits! i think thats from the dogs days are over music video. im currently obsessed with her cover of youve got the love which is her current single. the xx did a beautiful remake of it which can be found here on we7.
im also loving sylvia by miike snow which i last about a month ago and posted about it here. miike snow are just genius.
anyway i had my biology exam today and i think it went okay but i always say that about biology and then totally fail it. biology really depresses me coz im getting a's in both physics and chemistry but im averaging a c in biology! very annoying.
good night and have an amazing weekend x

and in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist, I can see you burning with desire for a kiss, psychobabble all upon your lips





kid sister. i dunno why im starting a post like this but what the hell. so yes, kid sister. she was on radio 1 last night and she is so hilarious. her music has so much character and shes so opinionated. its something that really gets to me, when people have no opinions. i just hate people who have nothing to say for themselves. thats why i hate people like leona lewis, she just bores me to death and i wish she would just say something controversial just to show she isnt a robot. she actually gets me really depressed coz shes just such a sad person. thats why i love people like la roux and lily allen who just say what theyre thinking. if they think some music is shit, they say its shit. really its about honesty. they arent afraid to speak their minds but leona, okay we arent talking about her anymore, im gonna scream with frustration soon about her. its like just smile girl!
did i tell you how excited i am to have rihanna back?! she makes such great music and i love russian roulette. im not really into the blonde hair thing but whatever im lovin her music now so i really dont care what shes doing with her hair!
i have another exam on thursday. its a module retake for biology so wish me luck! thanx for all the comments on the last post wishing me better, my cold is almost gone so alls well that ends well! good night x

we are what we dont see we miss everything daydreaming









so im back and ive got a dreadful cold and its not great going on a train when you really wanna be tucked up in bed but i went first class so it was nice and quiet with not many people around so i just read my company magazine and stared out of the window and admired the fit guy who was sitting way to far away from me so i had to stretch to look at him which didnt look very inconspicuous!
so today i was watching an interview with nelly furtado and i realised how much of a fan i am of hers. i loved (still love) im like a bird. its such a beautiful song that i think everyone can relate to. maneater was, and still is, such a massive song. everyone knows it and i remember when it came out, me and my brother were obsessed with it! then theres all good things which was written with chris martin and is such a beautiful song. and then recently she did broken strings with james morrison which i think every girl was obsessed with! its all beautiful and sad and amazing and sounds like pure heaven.
nelly furtado does have an amazing addictive voice but she is also very beautiful (me, jealous? no way!)
to go with my dreadful cold im currently listening to my pink playlist which consists of who knew, i dont believe you and sober. and its on repeat, i wish my voice sounded like that but my throat is nowhere near as sore as hers sounds! i woke up this morning from a dream in which my throat was really sore and i couldnt get any water coz i didnt have any money so as soon as i woke up i went to get a glass of water even though my throat wasnt sore! very strange!
so its the end of the weekend but have a good night x

nobody ever had a dream round here but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me




i dont talk about them enough but the killers are really such a massive part of my life. i know every song of every album, ive loved their music for about 6 or 7 years which really is a long time to like a band when youre only a teenager. i was speaking to my friend and even though we are the top of the school, i still feel like tiny! so back to the killers, i think 'my' song from all their albums has to be bones because it just reminds me of me! i can so relate to it coz im so bony but its more than the lyrics, its the way it starts i mean that beginning still gives me an adrenaline rush! its such a distinctive song that could never be compared to any other song. its so unique and so exciting and has such character. its also dramatic and does what i always do, just break out into song! im like a musical that doesnt stop! but i only sing like a line of a song and its usually off key so not really like a musical! the music video has everyone turning into skeletons and is just one of their best music videos, check it out here. if you wanna buy one of their albums definitely buy hot fuss, their first album, coz its so fresh and beautiful and impossible to describe!
so people i have news! okay its not dead exciting but i am going to london tomorrow for a long weekend just to shop! i only decided to go on sunday coz i wanted to go shopping but im fed up town in manchester so im going to london to go to oxford street (and to visit my dad and cousins). i sound so shallow minded! oh well people can judge me but im just gonna go and have fun! so i will be back on sunday and i wont be blogging when im there so sorry for not checking out your blogs but i really need to pack! lovin the view and the xx at the moment. have a good night x

i love the way she fills her clothes she looks just like them girls in vogue





this is my favourite model anna selezneva whos done shoots for vogue and was on stockholm street style (the second picture down)! shes just got such an interesting face and body. shes all tiny and beautiful and has the most amazing arms and cheekbones. she is only 19 but has walked the catwalks of chanel, dior, YSL and valentino! discovered in 2007 in McDonald's, she was whisked off to paris and has been working non stop. shes so unique and has such an interesting look, i can always recognise her which i can not say for some models who can get quite boring and all sort of merge into one.
i find in a way i can relate to these models although im 5"5, i am a uk 6/8 and ive got quite a boyish figure with boobs that are exactly like models. half these models dont wear bras and you see their boobs and im like those are my boobs! im also quite confident and dramatic however i dont envy them coz there arent any models who come out of a modelling healthy and happy and anyway im too short to be a model.
i do think being a model is for people like anna is by mistake. if someone came up to you and said you were beautiful enough to be a model you cant really say no i wanna be a psychologist. also you have to think of the money i mean imagine how much chanel pay!
so love to know what you think of modelling careers, i just really wanna work on the radio! thanx for all wishing me luck for my exam. it wasnt easy and i still have another one on tuesday but then im done with maths (until next september for the a level)! x

the walk before the run the breath before the kiss the fear before the flames, have you ever felt this way?


pink has got one of the sexiest voices on this fucking planet! i am so jealous! its all throaty and exactly how you want your voice to sound when you have a sour throat. its hard to explain but her new single i dont believe you is a very good example of what i love about her voice. the way her voice breaks, it just sounds so amazing when shes singing a song like who knew and sober. she talks about her heart breaking and her voice is so raw, you can hear the pain in her voice. i definately think she has one of the best voices in music. her and kings of leon should do a song together. imagine what that song would like! so beautiful. i wrote a post about her here. its not very good coz its like one of the first posts i ever wrote but i guess its interesting to read.
btw check out her album funhouse which has some beautiful lyrics and melodies.
a few other bands to check out:
  • the xx-they were supporting florence and what an amazing band! its a guy and girl singing and its all sort of whispery and beautiful. check out their remix of youve got the love.
  • plan b- pieces the chasing status remix. its so amazing and beautiful and totally impossible to explain! just trust me on this one!
  • just wanted to add two others to my list of artists i grew up with and that is nelly and maroon 5 oh and usher. i hate all of them now but there music just reminds me of good times so i will listen to it anyway!

ive got a maths exam tomorrow and on tuesday so i really shouldnt be blogging now but anyway wish me luck and sorry if i dont post for a while x

leave all your love and your loving behind you cant carry it with you if you want to survive







it seems to be the year of girls but quietly sharing the success are the boy bands. indie has become massive as well as sweet voices and cute lyrics. i mean look at the success of kings of leon (hot voice but hate their music) so here is my top,im not sure how many, bands (in order of the pictures):
  • miike snow-they are the band of the genius music that has been amazing for the summer but so perfect for autumn. the voices, the melodies, all their music is really beautiful.
  • hockey-theyre more commercial but dead catchy with songs that stay in your head ALL day!
  • mumford and sons-such a gorgeous band and marcus mumford (lead singer) has the most beautiful indie voice. theres such desperation and sweetness in that voice like when he says 'ive really fucked it up this time, didnt i my dear?' you can tell hes been there but theres such innocence in that voice. hes what gary lightbody from snowpatrol tries to do. just innocent but not naive or ignorant. its hard to explain just listen to little lion man!
  • the big pink-im sure youve heard dominoes which is so great because they truly embrace their totally english accent. it was so revolutionary when arctic monkeys did this and then it got boring but the big pink are less posh and theyve got way stronger accents. they make me very proud to be british!
  • boys like girls-just for their name i love them! its so boyish and cant be bothered! like hockey they are just great to sing along to. not great lyrics just great songs with good beats. mindless sort of music.
  • bombay bicycle club-these guys are really the meaning of indie boy bands! if you wanted an example of the genre youd choose them. so indie and sweet. really sweet guys as well

so now choose one band to check out and if you cant decide just choose which one is cutest! (why do you think i put pictures in?!!) thanx for all the great comments x

yeah but his bird thinks its amazing though, so all thats left is the proof that loves not only blind but deaf


























this is all the weird and wonderful music i loved when i was younger. some of it i completely refuse to listen to now its so crap but some of it i still love!
as ive got older ive totally fallen in love with indie english music and dubstep. i love good lyrics, a beautiful voice and an amazing melody. all songs i like have at least one of those and really when i was younger i just liked anything with a beat and a few slow songs.
just wanted to talk random obsessions. im totally and utterly head over heels in love with the name leighton meester. i like her as a person but her name! id die for that name! im also obsessed with socks, that was subtle, the colour red, english tea and scottish accents.
love to know youre random obsessions and the music you loved when you were younger. have a good night and sleep well x
