Wonderful Wellies!

FWOTW:
Hello my Lovelies I hope you are all feeling well! This Weeks Word as you can see is.. Crêpe! And no I don't mean the French pancake! This is a light soft thin fabric of silk, cotton, wool, or another material, with a crinkled surface. Also called crape. *no silliness please madam, I see your laughter* So there is your little fact of the day there!
If Money Was No Option? (IMWNO) I would buy the new Dolce & Gabbana - Sicily Classic tote in the colour duck egg blue with a hint of mint green in... It doesn't say the colour.. but I ADORE THIS.
What happened this week?
Nothing. Not even joking! I had my busy week last week with my busy social life etc, but this week I have been working really hard on my English course work analysing poetry which after 3 days my friends gets very very tedious D: but I have weeks more of this.. With all this work I will have no life at all, which makes me really sad!
However, me and my little group of friends have a great gathering on a Wednesday afternoon for a catch up as we aren't always together, we like to call it.. 'Coffee club' we are so cool when it comes to names and we just have a chit chat and have a drink and chat about things, but this week was significant as all 7 of us went and this hasn't happened since Crimbo. 

WELL DONE TO US. *applause*

AOTW: 
This week I have been addicted to Imagine Dragons. It is this very band that has kept me going all week, all of their songs are super catchy and there isn't one song I don't like!
They are an American band who formed in 2008 in LA. Their new album 'Night Visions' is out now, and I highly recommend it!
This is one of their songs, which is my FAVE:  Tiptoe I hope you all enjoy this band as much as I do

This weeks little feature is... *drum roll*.. Wellie reviews! I figured since we are getting heaps of rain, some people will be wearing their wellingtons and so I thought it would be nice to share with you my Favourites, some which are a tad expensive, some really cheap, some funky and some really plain :)

1. This little list would be nowhere without seeing some Hunter. I love hunter wellies and yes they are very pricey, but they last and last and last! I have a plain pair in black, but they are really muddy so I will show you a piccy of the actual wellie

2. Something many will not be familiar with is the shop 'Yorkshire Trading' now it seems lame, but they do indeed have a brand of clothing called.. 'Ryedale' kudos to them for the great name! But saying this they do some really funky wellies and in fact when I was younger I had a rather Jazzy pair from here ;)

3.
The next best thing to Hunter, Joules. This is a really good brand of wellie and they don't just do plain colours! They do the odd funky pattern here and there, which is always a good thing! My mum has a plain Purple pair, here is the pair we have at home :) I will also put in a Jazzier pair :)
4. All the 'Lads' out there will be wondering 'where is a wellie for me?' well fear not. The rigga boot is making an appearance . although technically not a wellie, they are a very good waterproof shoe to wear in the rain and if you are going to build a house.. so these boots have top marks for the wear and tear! My dad recommends these... and if he likes them then, they are a great shoe!

5. Lastly I am just going to throw in some Wellies which I adored in my childhood, and I always wore them with a stripey sock... I was one coolio kid! They are Barbie wellies with a Heel.. they are the bees knee's :P


In Stead of inspiration, I thought why not do an OOTW.. This week *drum roll*


 Jumper: French Connection
Necklace: H&M
Leggings: Jack Wills 
'A' Bracelet: Accessorize
Clover Bracelet: Miss Selfridge
Silver Ball Bracelet: Gift for my 18th
I think I might mix it up each week with inspiration and what I am wearing.. hope you like this idea :)

Freee

FWOTW.....
Hello my Lovelies, hope your week went well and you are all feeling perky! 
why am I so happy I hear you say? Well, I am exam free until the summer.. WOO which means I am for a little while stress free.. *dances internally*

What happened this week?
well as you can tell by the mood, I have finished my exams, and this weekend I have been to 3 parties.. yes you heard me! 3.. never has my social life been (as the young ones say..) "booming". You are probably thinking, who on earth would want too see me 3 times! well there was.. Band *sound the nerd alarm* where we had our annual new year meal/concert/being drunk around posh people party, it's cooler than it sounds.. honest! no i am joking it is insanely nerdy but lets swerve past that... I then went to my friends for a chillaxing evening, which was chilled as we watched many funny youtube clips and played air hockey.. which I lost at, which didn't surprise anyone.. I am the least sporty person E V E R.
Finally there was the end of exam party, which hopefully I might be able to attend but there is so much snow D: it has ruined all of my plans *sigh*
One thing I am obsessed with currently is movies, I think everyday/night I am watching a film, which I aren't sure if it's really sad or really awesome. Comment below what you think.. About commenting, if you ever want me to blog about something please let me know I am always up for new ideas and inspiration :) I am all ears!
what else happened,, oh I have changed my signature image! I bet you are all incredibly excited for that!
And finally of course was all the snow which has been highly desruptive as on Tuesday I thought 'oh poo I wont get to my exam' which to my dads response he said "Well I will take you in the digger".. yeah.. he didn't need to, shame that.

AOTW: my artist of the week this week deffo has to be the Kooks! After having a rather surreal week I have really enjoyed relaxing,chilling and warming up to the Kooks! I think my new found old fave is 'see the sun' such a lovely chirpy tune! However I think the whole album 'konk' is very good! So if you love the kooks great, if you haven't heard them in ages wapp them on! and if you haven't ever heard of them.. LISTEN TO THEM NOW!

Now onto the fashion:
OOTW: Ripped denim Jeans from Topshop which are really old now, I was surprised when I wore them yesterday that still fit.. It was one accomplishment :') I wore this with a simple grey vest and my Green Parka from Camden Market!
I have made some new shorts.. *pause for applause* Which I am highly proud off, they are made from Old Levi jeans they were £10 from a vintage store in York, I think the shop is the find of the year! Everything is a tenner :D its rather amazing! 
One of the things I am trying to do this year is to save my money and wear ALL of my clothes and only buy something if I: 1. need it 2. it is reallllly cheap and 3. if I am going somewhere posh.
Well, this has already failed as I bought another maxi dress, but it is nothing like the ones I currently own.. promise! It's from ASOS, which of course justifiably is really good!
here is an image:
I think this is such a good piece to own as you can dress it up and down and will go with lots, so this isn't just a dress, it is a life investment. *thank you*
If anyone has any ideas on what I can wear to an interview for UCA - then please let me know because I am still struggling for ideas!!

As always you can find all the images on my tumblr :)
*Oh as a disclaimer I am really relaxed about my writing so in-case you think it's too informal well.. I aren't serious person, if you don't like what you read then just don't! But I am so thankful for all of you who support me regardless..!*

New Me!

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/4655895/?claim=db9kw7z2tyx">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>
hello my lovelies - I am back! *I apologise for the length* Casually watching Jezza while writing this.. best day off ever ;)
You are all probably wondering where I have been and why I haven't been blogging through the end of December and beginning of January.
As always near the end of the year we have parties, I have been rather poorly, I have had revision and I have had to deal with a break-up, which due to experiences sometimes is really hard! But more importantly I have been going through a panic phase of that I just haven't known what to write about and haven't really felt myself, and in some cases I feel rather alone! which is weird cause I am surrounded by so many friends! But now I feel much better and all these emotions have gone! and with these new ideas I have some good feelings about this little blog :) 


The plan this year? fashion word of the week, inspiration, Music track of the week, OOTW! so hopefully this will only get better and better! With this will come the fashion & beauty hauls and then comes the uni updates :) Hope this all will tickle your fancies.

Artist I have been loving for the week (AOTW) - Tom Odell; recently won the Brits choice award 2013, and his single 'Another Love' is one of my all time faves for 2013, I can sense big things from this dude!
This week, I had my two resits on Wednesday, it was torture! 1st I thought my English exam didn't have my question so I did the whole 'OMG TOTAL FREAK OUT!' exam mode.. it wasn't a fun time for me, and I didn't have a drink either... my life was utter carnage at this point! Then I had my History, the 1st two questions were good, I did the party in your head dance, then I was starting to forget the info needed so I looked around and stared into space and looked a guy in my year square in the face.. it was VERY awkward! As you can imagine my exams are very emotional times as I can imagine all yours are too...


So with all of this snow comes the snow ball fights and the snowmen, pretty sights there, you can thank me later. However, walking outside on the wing path towards my class, I slipped..pretty much a landslide, and these year 7's I will emphasise this YEAR 7'S were laughing at me.. and they thought it would be funny to throw more snow at me.. that my friends was a good day -.- oh and to top that all off I fell down the stairs. My life is total embarrassment :(
on a happy note got a conditional offers from London Met & Sunderland .. thank you very much kind regards. (thought I should add some Miranda in there, gotta love the woman!) 

Before we get into the inspiration - I have decided to make a to do list of everything I need to do before the Easter Holidays - 
1. Blog more.. so here we go!
2. Get my extended project done
3. Diet
4. Eat Healthy
5. History coursework
6. English coursework
7. Complete my portfolio
When I complete these things I shall let you know in due course, and I will write about it.. I bet you all cant wait :P 


Inspiration... 






as always you can find all these piccy's on my tumblr :)

busy times! I just like to smile, smiling's my favourite

hello my darlings- sorry this is a late one! To start the ball rolling 'hi I'm Buddy the Elf - what's your favourite colour?' Gotta love elf chaps... This shall be what happens every blog until Christmas, a movie quote to share with you my festive moments :P
Anyway...I have had one heck of a week, been full of cold so much so that I couldn't speak during Mumford and sons, of whom were incredible :D then I had my last junior band xmas concert.. I am slowly becoming less of a nerd and I don't really like it! I liked being a little nerd.. now I am turning normal D: that thought really scares me!! however, I am writing this on my day off WOO! So I am quickly typing so if this doesn't make sense its because I am tired and rather ill from eating too much ice cream :/ (it was on offer in co-op.. guilty as charged) then lastly I went to go and see the incredible Nerina Pallot - and as always she was amazing :) so it was nice to spend time with the mother before family times.. ;) If you haven'e heard any of her songs you are missing out: check out 'Idaho' such a great song.

On top of this chaps... I have done the Christmas shopping *pause for applause* and I have 2 weeks to go.. I call this an ultimate success and medals shall be flocking my way ;) I love going xmas shopping, mainly because I get to spend ages in shops and say 'look lady I am xmas shopping don't rush me'  and they are fine with me chilling in the shop, and also there is so many nice little gifts I have got and if I have got too many then bingo! there is some for me ;) I kid..I kid..

here they are.. omg

OOTW:
I have been really wrapping up this week it's been so cold up here, I feel this Arctic weather is slowly getting worse and soon we will see penguins and polar bears roaming round and we shall move into igloos.. it could happen my friends! But if anyone has any ideas on what to wear on the big day - please let me know as i usually get something spesh to wear with the family :)
So really I have been chilling my jeans, and really taking advantage of the fact I can layer things this season (y) as a side note, I have been wearing my Uggs :O I haven't worn them in quite sometime and my feet were frozen so I went for it..and I thought I was just chilling in my slippers, forgot how amazing they were to wear :P


What else... oh yeah! The James Bond party was a little bit amazing! I managed to do my makeup amazingly without a mistake and my dress looked pretty decent to! and the evening was top notch :) so all in all (even though I did develop my cold from that night!) it was really good and I had a great time! yay good times ;)


festivities: This weeks Christmas love is....
this candle smells incredible even though it is rather pricey for a candle I think its £38? I aren't too sure, it smells amazing and I think it smells rather chirstmassy, I am really thinking about buying one of their Christmas candles called Oliban Frankincense again its rather pricey as its limited edition but hey! you gotta do it ;) and its in a nice pot (y)


Inspiration:
As always I sometimes include someone,something or pictures which have inspired me or moved me in some way. This week a close friend of mine lost someone close to their hearts on Saturday. being so close to Christmas the fact how strong they are being has made me really think how lucky I am. This then stemmed off into realising how each and everyone of us has a certain friend who we can fall out with over (after looking back) some really petty things, but at the time meant everything. And not talk for a while but when you start again it's like it all never happened, when you have that its amazing and that's what friendship is about. I don't want to mention names as the situation is pretty bad - but I shall call her Shanequa.. This may seem random but I thought I should spread a bean of knowledge :P So this is why this is my inspiration, to hold onto friendship and be the best friend you can be :) No matter what I know I have Shanequa - and she will always have me. That is my inspiration this week. *Sorry for the depressingness of that little talk there...*


I shall leave you with this happy note:

Thanks for reading guys -
