but in a goodbye bed with my arms around your neck into our mouth the tears crept, just kids in the eye of a storm




isnt this beautiful photography? its from kate pulley. i love how her photos have such a magical look.
currently obsessed with daniel by bat for lashes. i searched for bat for lashes on my blog and i havent ever talked about natasha. bat for lashes is basically what singer/songwriter natasha records under. her music has a sort of distant sound if that makes any sense. she reminds me a bit of the xx in the way she sings. its all quite intimate and beautiful.
okay now im listening to the xx, i am seriously in love with this band! its a running joke with my friend coz i love them and she absolutely hates them! VCR is just amazing.
love you guys x

lets conspire to re-ignite all the souls that would die just to feel alive







for once i actually know the photographers name! these photos are all from connie wang, her pictures are just beautiful.
so the charity single for haiti is at number one. is it wrong to hate charity singles? they all just sound the same and are so boring.
oh and i watched the brit awards last week. it was such a big moment for me and my friend when florence won best british album. thats one person who really deserved her award. JLS getting two awards? WTF?
just made a coffee cake which is currently in the oven. ill try and keep you posted on that. just ate some of the raw batter and im feeling ill. do you think i have salmonella?! i hope not.
have a lovely week x

we laugh until we think we'll die, barefoot on a summers night, nothing new is sweeter than with you






i dont often mention other blogs just coz im too lazy but i just wanted to tell you guys to check out jamis blog. it gives me so many different inspirations and ideas. its really a photography blog and she has this amazing ability to just find the best photography.

so onto music:

  • currently listening to florences album. the girl is just a creative genius. check out her website here.
  • i am totally obsessed with home by edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros (what a name for a band!)
  • im also completely obsessed with the tinie tempah song pass out. normally i dont like r&b stuff like n-dubz but this is how the whole british urban music scene should be like. its about not taking yourself to seriously and having fun with the music and those stupid r&b singers who actually sing their lyrics like they mean something: its a joke! tinie tempah shows how urban r&b should sound like and he gets extra credits for making a reference to the hills ('heidi and audrina eat your heart out'). check it out on we7 here.

thanks for all the lovely comments on my last few posts it really is much appreciated x

and it hits me that love is a game like in war no one can be blamed yes it struck me that love is a sport, so I pushed you a little bit more





im not sure if the title lyric is anti-valentines day or not...
im definitely not feeling the love, cant wait until its over......

so these pictures are just a random load of kate moss pictures. she really is an icon, very proud that she is british.
oh and i have to tell you guys about superbad which is watched last night. it was so funny and clever. that was one film i just never got round to seeing but last night me and friends wanted to rent out a funny/happy film and it was perfect. we actually had to pause it a few times coz we were all laughing so hard! and yeah michael cera is gorgeous (as usual) in this. I love michael cera!
so a whole post and no music. right ill end with some music to listen to
  • the cardigans (thats where the title lyric is from although i cant remember the name of the song)
  • arctic monkeys- i dunno why but im randomly into their music again
  • the courteeners-i know nothing about them, i just love their music

and i have a hole in my very expensive tights so ill leave you so i can wallow in pain all by myself.

haha im such a drama queen! x

it's been three weeks since i got a decent sleep, i've a restless head and an empty bed... these dreams are killing me




these are all pictures to do with the colour red. i love red. its such an expressive colour. so beautiful yet dangerous.

i dont have much to say today but if you want some music recommendations just check out the skream remix of in for the kill by la roux. i have it on replay at the moment and its just all dubstep and gorgeous.

keep well x

flicking through a little book of sex tips, remember when the boys were all electric?





just some beautiful photographs i think theyre by marc bordons.
so yesterday i was listening to a playlist of british music and it was really dreadful, full of music by the likes of cheryl cole, N-BUBZ, tinchy styder and taio cruz. the worse thing was that i know so many amazing british artists so i decided to make a british playlist. lets hear it for great britian!
arctic monkeys-brainstorm
oasis-wonderwall
snowpatrol-run
adele-daydreamer
ellie goulding-under the sheets
hurts-wonderful life
la roux-armour love
florence and the machine-cosmic love
muse-plug in baby
love to hear what british music you love and if anyone knows how to make a playlist that people can actually listen to then id love to know! x

stay if you wanna love me, stay oh dont be shy lets cause a scene like lovers do on silver screens lets make it yeah, we'll cause a scene





This is a very weird mix of pics. I have no idea where the first two are from.
The third picture is of mumford and sons, the fourth is of the killers. Im loving the killers second album at the moment (sams town). Its just full of hits and its just such a fun exciting album.
And the last picture is of Florence. I found this picture randomly and its just gorgeous.
Thanks for all the great comments on my last post. I really love that last post anyway keep well x

i was a playboy from dubai to paris.. made our acquaintances on a sheet less mattress she pressed my lips she said this wont last long...




life is pretty shitty at the moment though i feel bad saying that coz after seeing what people went through in the holocaust, i mean thats real shit.
sorry you probably dont know what im on about!
i went on a history trip with my class to london and we went to the imperial war museum. it was quite a sobering experience. its like suddenly you realise that life is so easy. we watched accounts of people who went through the concentration camps, they saw their family die in front of them and they couldnt do anything. its just a scary thought.
so after watching that we then went to covent gardens and i did some serious retail therapy! shopping really is the best thing to get a smile out of me when im down!
so back to my first point. yeah life is being a bit shitty at the moment. just had some horrible mocks today and got even more tomorrow. i havent learnt for any of them! no that doesnt really deserve an exclamation mark. we had modules and then i thought id take a bit of a break from learning and now im too exhausted to learn, im gonna fail every fucking last one. i hate doing this coz its just so depressing. and today i found out my friend whos mum died last year, her dad has leukemia. its just so hard on her. so right im making a positive list:
  • music totally helps when you cant go shopping! currently completely obsessed with the virgins who provided the wonderful title lyrics from their song private affair.
  • im not failing science so at least that a start!
  • i can still look at beautiful pictures and get weird and wonderful fashion inspirations. everywhere i walked in london, i saw different people wearing such amazing outfits, ive got so many ideas for outfits!
  • i have my wonderful friends to laugh at! today my friend rivka brought a loo roll to school coz she has a cold and the teacher thought she has stolen it from the school toilets! shes a classic!
  • GLEE! that is the reason for my happiness. just watched an episode, they should seriously show it to people going through depression, its just amazing!
  • i still have chocolate. food really is the best when youre down and chocolate... its just immense

but most importantly i still have my dreams, ideas and inspirations. im actually feeling way happier after making that list! i advise anyone feeling down to make a positive list now! thanx for all your amazing blogs keeping me inspired x

youve been acting awful tough lately, smoking a lot of cigarettes lately, but inside youre just a little baby

i saved the picture above under the name 'tattooed beautiful boy with cig looking beautiful and lost' and i saved the guy underneath under the name 'smoking shirtless beauty'. i think that says it all!
can we just talk about how genius i am to find this lyric?! how well does it go with the photos?!! i was just listening to marina and the diamonds and i heard these lyrics in her beautiful song i am not a robot and theyre just perfect for the gorgeous photos.
i dont normally like male models but i do have a folder of the male models i think are just damn right beautiful and these two are just amazing. i dunno what it, maybe the tattoos or the beautiful 'broken but dont give a shit' look. does that make sense?!

okay lets talk music:

im still totally obsessed with glee. its just immense and just makes me smile so much! just writing about it gets me excited!! oh im a sad old soul!

im currently listening to the skream remix of in for the kill by la roux. its all dubstep and beautiful. oh i love it!

other bands im loving are the virgins, the drums and this morning i heard mr brightside by the killers on the radio: it was an epic moment singing along with a hairbrush while halfway through getting dressed so i was wearing my school shirt with my pj bottoms and my hair in one big curly mess! theres something amazing about hearing a song you love on the radio even if you have the album so could listen to it at any time. its those first few notes, the big adrenaline rush, is it weird i get adrenaline rushes from the killers and not from roller coasters (i hate roller coasters with a passion)?
sorry im so bad with writing posts. i try and keep up with all your blogs but i dont really have that much time to write. i was writing my english AS coursework with my friend and just coming up with total examiners porn (explanation: writing an essay that is so beautifully written and quoting all the right quotes if i dont get a good mark for this essay HEADS WILL ROLL!) For my essay im analysing an article from Grazia which is just wonderfully written and even has a reference to Florence (yes THE Florence from florence and the machine)
so it is time to leave you beautiful people once again. im going to london on monday on a school history trip just for one night but i cant wait to tell you all about it! x

Friday, 15 January 2010

you say i love you boy, i know you lie, i trust you all the same, i dont know why




im not sure where any of these pictures are from but theyre all just gorgeous. dont you love the rumpled hair of the model in the first and last picture?! i love that sort of hair on guys. a bit like michael ceras hair in juno, just a great length.
anyway i havent told you yet the amazing news that i got an a in my gcse maths! i did it in november and got my mark a couple of days ago which is very exciting!
so last night i went to the sixth form open evening in the school that i wanna go to for sixth form and it was really interesting to speak to the a level teachers so that i actually sort of understand what im gonna be doing next year! i wanna do physics, chemistry, maths and business studies leading to doing physics in uni. im already doing an AS this year so i have some idea of what its gonna be like next year but it should be interesting moving schools and a levels are very different to gcses.
anyway enough about my education! lets talk music! the title lyrics are from biffy clyro from their song many of horror (which is grammatically incorrect but never mind) . i love this song its so beautiful and the lead singer (whos name ive forgotten) has the voice of an angel. i dont mean that he sounds like dido or anything he just has a gorgeous voice. (how many times have i said gorgeous in this post?!) also im obsessed with coco who records music under the name i blame coco. she has a song called caeser which she did with robyn and its coco has such a cool voice and and robyn has such a cool voice and together... its just amazing. if your interested in some new music this year then check it out and enjoy!
hot chip also have an amazing song out called one life stand which is gonna be huge! its got a really cool feel about it and its a great song.
so thats it from me now, just one last thing..
i watched glee the other night and just loved it. its soo good. all the music and the people. it just makes me so happy. the program is just beyond camp but i love it!
so have a great weekend and tell me about any new music youre loving at them moment x

dont let go, never give up, its such a wonderful life

this is a montage/collage (what the hell do you call it?!) from the bbc website. i think ive used all these pictures but they look really cool together.
so i thought for this post i could go through the top five of the 'bbc sound for 2010' list. so here goes!
  1. ellie goulding-i just checked out my blog and i realised that ive never written about ellie goulding so heres a first! she won this title and i do love her music. under the sheets has really grown on me and she is the one new talent (except marina) that me and my friend agree on. i just love how soft and beautiful her music is. its like snowpatrol but softer and more dance sort of music. i guess shes more electric than snowpatrol. ellies music is really made to fit the dance genre but snowpatrol is more acoustic and about the guitars and shes about the tempo and everything. her music is a bit dubstep. and that was me trying to explain an artists sound! i really am crap at explaining just check out under the sheets!
  2. marina and the diamonds-heres a singer i have talked about before and i just love her music. shes like a modern kate bush doing pop. what a beautiful voice and her lyrics make so much sense but they are very clever. oh i just thought of the word to describe ellie goulding- electro pop. so back to marina, i love all her songs but one of my favourites has to be i am not a robot. marina makes some great music videos so check those out on youtube. she just has lots of fun with the music videos, i love it when artists do that. i think it was cornerstone by the arctic monkeys when all you have is stupid alex turner (hes a cool guy just hate his hair) just singing to the camera for 4 mins. hate arctic monkeys for that! the killers also make amazing music videos. right back to our list..
  3. delphic-i dont know a lot about them but doubt is just a great song. they really make such beautiful music.
  4. hurts-i LOVE this band and i only know one of their songs but its just beautiful. i know normally the title lyrics i use are very depressing. actually i cant remember when i used a happy title lyric but this title lyric is from hurts and its just beautiful. their song, wonderful life reminds me a lot of dont give up by kate bush and peter gabriel. they are both about not giving up and staying strong. they were both also made for a time of recession when people want to just give up. i love songs which have a strong message.
  5. the drums-ive just got completely obsessed with their song lets go surfing. maybe its to do with the snow! im getting quite fed up of the snow and someone told me its gonna carry on like this for six weeks. six fucking weeks! i hope its not true

so thats the top five. i looked at the full list but the rest i havent heard of except that stupid daisy girl. her music is dreadful. i hope it doesnt do well coz then it will always be on the radio and i do not wanna hear it.

so if youre bored check out these artists or go to cinema and watch sherlock holmes coz its amazing. such a fun film to watch cya x

when i see you walking with her i have to cover my eyes, everytime you leave with her something inside of me dies




ive been away for too long! sorry i havent been checking out all your amazing blogs but i had to move out of the house coz my brother got mumps (even though he had the vaccine) and i didnt want to get it and then my mum went to london. anyway so ive had about a week and a half away from my beloved computer!
so this is very exciting coz this is my 100th post! ive been blogging for about 7 months now! i cant believe its been that long! it feels like a few months ago and that makes me feel so old but im only 15. it reminds me of the killers lyric 'im so much older than i can take' except i feel like my age doesnt match how old i feel like the other day i was sitting there with my radio and a cup of tea and thinking this is the life and then i was like this is ridiculous! im a teenager, im supposed to be irresponsible and stupid but im just so not like that. anyway how did i get onto this?!!
hope you had an amazing new year and some of the bands that i think (and hope) are gonna be big this year are:
  1. delphic-theyre song doubt is just beautiful. i havent heard much else of theirs but i cant wait to hear more.
  2. temper trap-we all know them for sweet disposition but their new song , which i cant remember the name of, is just gorgeous. its not like sweet disposition but just amazing. what the hell is it called?!!
  3. i love marina and the diamonds and shes definitely tipped to be big this year.
  4. the drums-im just listening to their EP which is just so cool. very summery but still sounds beautiful. its quite laid back and fun. check it out here.

so thats it! have a great week ive got lots of exams now so sorry if it takes me a long time to catch up with the comments. its back to school tomorrow after two days off coz of the snow but just two days and then its the weekend! x

i took my babys breath beneath the chandlier of stars and atmosphere and watched her disappear..






(starting from the top: when harry met sally, 2 500 days of summer pictures and 2 juno pictures)

i like indie quirky films. theyre just what im into. i do like other films like i watched sex and the city the other day and i loved it but indie films are just what i like best. so anyway i bought nick and noras inifinite playlist because it looked really indie and it has michael cera in who is just such an amazing actor and absolutely gorgeous. anyway, look i'll put it bluntly, it was dreadful. everything about it was dreadful i mean even a dreadful chick flick like the holiday was a better film. so let me explain why:


  • firstly it is set over one night. thats never a good idea with a film. the only film where it kind of worked was kidulthood but its very rare for it to work and well in this film it was their biggest mistake. because it was set over one night nothing much really happened coz how much can happen in a night? i mean look at a film like 500 days of summer, i dont want to give anything away in case you havent watched it but but that film is set over a year and a half and when harry met sally is set over like 20 years or something ridiculous like that but i love it like that. its just the way a good film needs to be set for it to work.

  • some of the characters are just really annoying. michael cera is amazing as usual and there are these 3 gay guys who were really cute and funny but everyone else was really really annoying and like the main female character just cant act. its really irritating. it irritates me to say this but actually all the girls in this film are bad actresses and just so boring. i guess you cant do much with a character when its only set over one night but still they were really rubbish and hurt my eyes to watch.

  • sorry to bring kidulthood up again its just the only other film i can think of thats also only set over a day. so yeah in kidulthood so much happens in that day. i dont want to give away the whole film but if youve watched the film youll understand (btw if you havent see it then check it out now, its so brilliantly written and really honest about what its like to be a teenager in east london) nick and noras infinite playlist was just boring. i wa waiting for something to happen in the long 90 minutes it lasted and honestly nothing happened. it was just dreadfully written.

  • and lastly, i was looking forward to a good soundtrack running through the film, well i was very disappointed. as well as nothing happening in the film, the soundtrack was crap as well. and that was the last straw

so anyone wanna buy it off me?!!
