Little Weekend Away

This weeks FWOTW: Taffeta. This is a charming material for cocktail dresses. It must be used in quantity - very full skirts for dresses - otherwise it can look poor. (so my dictionary says you tell 'em Dior!) Sometimes it can be used for blouses, but it is a little stiff and its best use is for the evening time.
So there you are guys, watch out for taffeta... kind of sounds like a chocolate bun.. 

Hello everyone! hope everyone has had a wonderful week and is feeling super good :)

As you can probably tell by the title I am about to embark on a weekend away on my own *shock*, travelling from my home down to the lurvely Shrewsbury to see an old chummy, who I haven't seen in 4 years.. Such a long time and I will be spending 3 days with her having a catch up before we both go to uni! So as you can tell.. next week will be many an image of me in Shrewsbury and at the amaze Harry Potter Museum. OMG. so excited. With this will be Vines, Instragrams, Tweets all that shizz so look out!
But with this comes a horrifying fact that as of today I have 2 full weeks left at home before I leave...*sob/cheer*

Fashion wears:

This week I am loving the MOM Jeans by Topshop. As always you guys know all my jeans are bought from topshop as they last forever! And I am living in these beauties, they are so comfy and really support my figure YAY!
I am also loving NewLooks A/W13 shoe collection! Which is shocking as I can be a bit of a snob when it comes to this place, but I went in and I was impressed! I think in the past 2 weeks I have bought 2 pairs of shoes :| I am both happy and disappointed in myself! My fave purchase is my Chelsea boots which are a decoy of the Topshop Alexa boots. They are a fraction of the price and they are so similar it's worth going to NewLook for a looksee!
As the cold weather is among us *sigh* I have been dragging out my jackets and luckily my brother has a HUGE denim vintage looking jacket which I have stolen, it's amazing! it has an acid wash look to it, but great because I can layer it up with any jumper underneath.. And I love a good layer!
I have always been a fan of colour, and recently I am LOVING the neon. I have recently bought an amazingly neon orange crop top from toppers and I love it so much! It's amazing how something so simple can add such a good pop of colour to any outfit! I am now looking for a decoy of the American Apparel Neon Shirt.. I can't fork out £55.. I am poor!
Another Neon love of mine, is the GAP neon knitted jumpers. I have one in Coral, its just amazing! I love the colour and the feel of the wool, it feels like it could last a really long time which is good! and shocking because I usually hate GAP. Good effort boys.

A little addiction(s).. for those of you who have seen my twitter they would've seen my recent love for the British comedian Chris Ramsey. Not my type as he is Geordie and I don't really get a word they say.. but it's okay cause he is hot. omg.
Also, Carries Diaries. Anyone who is close to me I am sorry for constantly going on about this! its AMAZING! I am so hooked it is untrue.. My life is not a healthy one!

AOTW:
This weeks choice was a tricky one.. as there's so much music which I am loving right now; But.. I have decided on an old fave Stereophonics. I don't really need to explain this band as everyone knows who they are! What brought this on was the release of their new album "Graffiti On The Train"  which I am in love with! And listening to them live on Radio 2 and at V fest.. I fell in love with them instantly!
Recomendations of the album? "Indian Summer" and "Been Caught Cheating". If you follow me on twitter you will have seen my tweets of lyrics.. sorry not sorry!
Linked below is a single from them which is one of my personal old faves and never ever fails to put me into a good mood! Enjoy this sing along my friends..

Inspiration...

As always all these Images can be found on my tumblr, none of these are mine! but ones which inspire me for the week to dress how I do! 

Next week:
Inspiration will be based on Uni room decor as I need most of my inspiration to design my room and I feel it might help those moving on! Harry Potter goings on & Possible Ikea wish list...

Thank-you for reading,
Like, comment & share.. all that malarkey!
See you sooon x

New Look, New Me, New Start

Its been a whole month of more arguments with myself and more thinking holidays and working after making my last post about how I was back, I really wasnt sure to tell the truth! But now I have done up this place I feel like its going places, and I have had a few exciting e-mails which has spurred me on and given me faith that what I am doing is actually worth it..

Well, after an awesome holiday I am now working pretty much full time doing nanny work I currently have 3 families under my belt.. (not literally) and I think I have baked pretty much every day this past 2 weeks, so if anyone wants a bun please feel free to come and get one!
I have a haul coming your way..I have so much stuff I need to show y'all and I intend on doing so soon
still single.. (thats not really news.. more of a statement *sigh*)
I know what flat I am in for Uni, which is super exciting holla at ya flat 5.
but... I GOT IN WOOPWOOP. I am now a certified fashion journalist student a boom. I am literally so excited I can not sit still...
However, they have given me a reading list and film list which goes on FOREVER so I am set for life with reading, thanks guys (y)
About the emails, the company "CityBlis" has asked me to be a partner with them, so not only was this spififng news it have spurred me on to get cracking on here and do more with my blog- from Hauls-ranting ;)

Stuff to come...
Since I will be in and around london for the next 3 or so years, and I am being invited to many events, I am looking forward to sharing with you all what I will be getting up to etc etc. But also sharing with you my UNI troubles, successes and what I am buying to help any of you who are a shop-a-holic like me and need a budget this will be an insight into what my room is like and what I am buying. So things may change around this little home, but I feel it is for the best :) 

I am starting to think that I will blog at least once a week and from there we go really.. but this is the last time I will escape, I AM BACK!!  watch this space!!

Thank you for everyone who supports me,

see you all this weekend 

BACK BACK BACK. I promise.

Bonjour everyone! I hope you are all well and you are enjoying your summer if, like me, you are done!

Where have I Been??
So as you all will have noticed I have not been blogging regularly at all, and my explanations are as follows:
1. I underestimated how much work (after my prom) I actually needed to do
2. I wasn't sure if I wanted to carry on blogging, and after a long hard think... I am here to stay! 
3. I have been a lazy poo (to put it bluntly)

News??
Nothing much has been happening down my end of the world really.. My auntie is moving house so I am looking after their little girl (vines, Tweets & Instagrams to follow!) and I am going away in 6 days *Internal scream* 
The party king of my group of pals is now in my village.. so now it helps when he has friends over as I can plod up home!
Now that I am FREE! I am able to blog more and keep you lot posted on my life & happenings,, I bet you are all super excited
I also have developed a new love for some people...
Will.I.Am (That shouldn't be admitted to AT ALL) Matt from the British voice *mmm* and Greg Rutherford.. google him. 

I have also come to the decision now I am at home everyday and I have nothing much to do an evening.. That I will definitely be doing 2 blog posts a week, just so its in easy chunks :) 

Holiday:

Plan: I have decided that because I am indeed away for 2 weeks, there will be 4 blog posts or at least 2! I have no idea what the WIFI in the hotel will be like and keep in mind I will be blogging on my iPad so anything could happen... But I will try and keep you all posted on my twitter!

With only 6 days till I set off I have decided to use this weeks IMWNO as a holiday based one *YES* Genius I know.. 

1. While swimwear shopping I came across the designer which I had heard of but not really bothered looking into - Matthew Williamson. I adore his Electric bay shirt dress.. Its just beaut! I think it would look great on the beach.. shame I really can't afford it, I think £395 is a little out of my price range -.-

2. While doing my average look on Wildfox, I came across the cutest swimming one piece EVER! its adorbs and I want it. now. Its £168.. which I could afford but I would be able to wear nothing else... so I think I will leave this one *sob*

Its rather depressing as I will never look like that in a cozzie..

3. while doing some casual clothes shopping, I came across a brand "commes des garcons" which I have heard of many a time, but never really put my foot on their grounds.. and I love their stuff.. EEP.. So I went onto their website and I came across this really cute T-shirt, PLAY MENS CLASSIC T-SHIRT WHITE WITH EMBROIDERED RED LOGO, however it is £70, I don't think, right now, I could ever justify paying that much for a top.. but I like it all the same (p.s. I know this is a mans top, but I am digging a baggy number right now!)

AOTW
This week, I have chosen the delectable Tom Odell, not entirely sure if I have used him already.. ahh well.
This week has seen the release of his new album Long Way Down. I think I had this in pre-order for ages and it came through on Monday at 1am and it is all i have listened to for the past day and a bit! I think every song resonates with me in someway, my fave is deffo "Grow Old With Me" and the title song "long way down"
I think if you are into songs which make you feel emotions and make you feel good then you should give this chap a go! He definitely deserved to win the Brits Choice Award 2013. Well done son, I salute you.

If you fancy me doing a blog post on what I am taking in either my Suitcase/Hand Luggage let me know, buy going onto my Facebook (y)

Thank you for reading my little Lovelies:
Like and comment and See you on the Weekend

Homies of.. well.. Wombleton?

This Weeks FWOTW: Velveteen. This is a cotton velvet, mainly used for loose coats and jackets - it is very difficult to tailor. For fitted suits or fitted jackets and dresses use it only if you aer very slim (apparently) as it is quite fattening... It can be gorgeous for evening capes - loose ones hanging from you shoulders in a lovely line..
Here's to me becoming a fashionable superhero. Thank-you Velveteen. 
hello everyone - hope we are all feeling okay!

Really beginning to feel seriously drained with all the stress of exams and just general life its self *sigh* I swear the only thing that is keeping me going is the fact I am going away in one month and the fact it is prom next Friday (y)

Exams: 
I don't think I have had such a bad day. ever. So on Friday was my last exam until the 3rd of June and it's safe to say I was well prepared and ready - but then I opened up my paper and 1 of the 2 questions I was meant to answer wasn't on. Yeah that's right. It wasn't there D:
So after spending MONTHS revising the play Importance of Being Earnest and remembering every single analytical question and technical term, and it wasn't there - so as you can imagine MAJOR panic.
So the exam officer at my college, rang AQA and I had to do the analytical question on the Kite Runner as well as doing the adaption on it.. which isn't allowed..
Luckily, me and 2 others get put into special accreditation and they are going to mark it as normal. 
but as you can imagine - majorly annoyed.
other than that.. my week has been pretty sweet.. 
1. won my prom shoes on ebay... BOOM. They are from Office and they were.. ready.. £16.50! absolute bargain if you ask me! 
2. took my best friend out for a meal for her 18th and gave her her homemade memory book and CD which was made by me.. I was highly proud of my efforts! 
3. decided that if I don't get into uni, I am going to become crazy cat lady :) It is what I am made to do. 
4. saved enough money to get some amazing holiday clothes - Antigua here we come :D

IMWNO: 
So this week - if money was no option, I would like to buy 1 of these 3 items: 
1. wildfox bel air round sunglasses, they are super dooper quirky and I just think they are so cool, and really up my street! retailing at £196.. its a little out of my price range aha..ha.. so I think I will stick to Primark right now..!

2. Prada Wedge in white. OMFG. I would seriously go out and buy most of the Prada Spring/Summer shoe collection if I could, there is so many beauties on there, but this pair have really caught my eye... Currently retailing at £495.. so I think if I want these, I wont have to shop at all for ages. and ages. 

mmm, I need these shoes in my life.. like now. 

3. I am just adoring the Kate Spade collection for Spring/Summer and when looking through the bag section I noticed the many neon coloured bags, and they all are super cute! However, one in particular has caught my eye. You can buy it in both Black and Yellow, I prefer it in black but I do like the yellow! Its the Charlotte Street Reena, retailing at $478 or £236 - which isn't too bad for a bag.. but it is still WAY out of my price range -.- 

AOTW:
So this week has been a hectic week music wise with me not having my classic anymore *cries* so I having sorted out all my music, my artist of the week is Jessie Ware. She is an English singer/songwriter. Her most well known track Running became an instant hit with the remix by Disclosure. This summer she is playing nearly all of the well known festivals, and her new single Imagine It Was Us has to be one of my favourite songs of 2013 (so far)
her single is available to buy in Itunes now!!

Music Listened too while writing:
Kanye West - Love Lock Down
Jessie Ware - Imagine It Was Us

MS MR - Hurricane

SubFocus ft. Alex Clare - Endorphins
Temper Trap - Rabbit Hole

Chase & Status - Lost and Not Found

thank you for reading guys!
next post will be on my prom and last day of school D:
See you all very soon 

Sun Sun Sun

Aloha, my lovelies! Hasn't this weather just been amazing? I have been lapping up the sun with my new tooth ;) and enjoying the fact I am 18 by having a drink in the beer gardens. Oh this is the life!! 

Oh boy, exams start next week *oh lord give me strength* I really don't have any motivation to do anything but sleep.. But we must solider on *cries* 
Funeral: my ipod classic has officially died. He has served me well for many years and now he just wont connect to my Itunes, it always says something about formatting a disk before I can use him :( RIP tod the Ipod.
So now I have an 8GB touch.. and I have already filled it.. This is so painful.

Fashion wise, I have found some amazing topshop coral coloured tapered trousers in my drawers, and I just think they are awesome to wear in this glorious weather :)
by following the trends of JW Anderson, I have been wearing them with an over sized black blazer and a cropped t-shirt with them and a cheeky pair of loafers, you could say I am liking the oversized boyfriend look right now!
I should also add that I have changed my Instagram name to: justme_amie.
so go check it out!!
I have also made a recent purchase from Urban Outfitters, finally plucked up the courage to purchase the Homies new york t-shirt in white :D However it was £30.. which is rather pricey for a top... BUT I DON'T CARE.. 

What else... oh yeah! Booked my family holiday, Antigua for 2 weeks! Omg I am super excited! Need more bikini's and more sun wear, to wear in the ultimate heat! bliss.

In other news - I went on to buy my prom dress and I think the worst thing to happen, happened. Its out of stock. THE FURY.
But don't worry - I have got on from Zara, post to follow! Just need to find some shoes! 

AOTW: Jamiroquai, Was casually on the Itunes offers and I saw this, bought it. And it has lead to me being IN ACTUAL LOVE with them... My fave song is deffo Cosmic Girl! So catchy it just puts the biggest smile on my face! Super dooper groovy! (yes I did just say groovy, I aren't proud of my actions.. but live with it.) So here is the video I demand you to listen and have a dance.. It makes you happy ;)

Inspiration...

 

As always you can find all of these images on my tumblr :)

Thank you for reading chaps, 

See you all mid week

Oh Dear..

Hello my loves, isn't this weather just incredible? I swear this good weather has put me in such a good mood! After the downs of the recent weeks I have never been so happy! *sigh* I think I might need to calm down ;)

So this week I have done nothing...Nothing at all! Which I suppose is a good thing, been spending time trying to do some bits to my blog, lets see if we can jazz this place up a little! we need to add some TLC! and I aren't just chatting about a new font.. we may be having a new colour scheme *gasp* .. So if you guys have any ideas please drop me a comment it would be greatly appreciated!! 

This weeks fashion disaster: My mum got me a new tan.. In dark skin. I didn't realise. I went to school looking..how do I put this..Like an ikea wardrobe. I was a dark shade of mahogany. Gee thanks mum (y) Love you too!
This weeks sad news: After going out last night.. I chipped my tooth. After having not one single problem with my teeth for 18years and with them being really straight it was a sad time.. and I am super hacked off -.- and 2 days before my recital I chip a tooth making it really painful to play.. Idiot points awarded. I am hoping they can squeeze me in ASAP I look like I belong on Jeremey Kyle.
Fashion News: Prom dress = sorted. BOOM. All I need is some shoes and I am ready to go!

*teachers pet alert* so in a pact to try a little harder at keeping myself motivated to do more work, I decided to go all out with my notes on Britain in 1889. So to try and make it look exciting, I added colour and *ready* a map. *round of applause*
Being super impressed I showed my teacher. You could say he was more than impressed and said and I quote "some of the best notes I have seen."
A-THANK-YOU

This weeks AOTW is a little different.. I haven't got one but I have a song! and that song is just the most catchy thing I have ever heard. And it has been on repeat in my room for the past few days!

Stooshe - Slip. Now I will admit I wasn't keen on the band at first, even though black heart was another babe of a song! But this one... omg... it is just me written all over it! There is a hand clap, some ooo's some ahhh's and some trumpets! also I can copy the dance moves in my bedroom.. yes I am 18 and I still do that.. don't judge...

There you go loves.. have a good little clap and a dance along to this beaut!

IMWNO:
So this week if I had more money than I could cope with I would:
1. Go on holiday to BoraBora with my best mate.. just cause! It looks warm and you can just chill, and who knows what amazing adventures you could go on out there!! 

on a serious note I would get a new trench coat, I think I would go burberry since I think they are classic piece in all honesty. I think they go with pretty much anything and they look really smart, so yeah I would go out and buy me one of those beauties. Specifically I would buy the Mid-Length Cotton Gabardine Trench Coat, retailing at £995.. I only have £9.95.. so divide the price by 10 and I am there (y) 

thanks for reading this little shortie!
See you next weekend or mid week! 

Here Comes The Sun...

Hello my darlings :) Hope we are all feeling well and enjoying this beautiful weather! FINALLY! and for those of us who back at sixth form.. 3 weeks, then all this palava will be over *sigh of relief* time to crack on with the revision YAY...

So this week has been pretty immense! Went to the spa with my mum on last Thursday and just totally chilled out for the day and night. It was just amazing!
I felt like a total adult; I got called miss, A guided tour of my room (which had complimentary biscuits and Aromatherapy goodies.. I took all of them home..), I had an alocholic beverage at 11am and no one batted an eyelid.. I did feel like an alocholic though, I must admit!
In other news, I have jumped on the bandwagon of getting Vine! If you search for Amie Grice (i should come up!), a piccy of me will come up and have a gander! I have wapped on a couple of vids, I think it will be good for upcoming hauls to give you peeps a sneaky peak at whats going down aha!

And in other news.. OMG I SAW ONE DIRECTION.
I see many of you shaking heads in disgust.. it was a total last minuet thing and since it was on my list of things to do.. I simply couldnt say no..could I?! I won't go on but it was amazing, and I would happily go again! not going to lie omg I saw Harry and it was the best thing ever.. never been so in love 

AOTW: This weeks artist of the week has to be a band called Young Kato. They are a 6 member all boy band formed in 2011 in both Cheltenham & Birmingham.
They are really cool and I am addicted to their EP "Young Kato" which you can now buy on Itunes!
My personal Fave is Life Is Good - it's super catchy and has a really good chorus :)

I am going to cheat, here is my other artist of the week ;) It's a young lady called Lauren Aquilina. She is 17 and her EP- fools is just Beautiful! if you are a fan of Nina Nesbitt you will love Lauren :) my ultimate fave is Fools. Just beautiful.

Inspiration:

I think before we get into the pictures, I think we should take a moment to feel the apprciation from the families who have lost loved ones, friends and family in the boston bombing. My heart goes out to all of them - and their strength through this is greatly inspiring. I would also like to take a moment to take a moment's inspiration to send my condolances to a family in a town near me who lost their daughter in a car crash, at such a young age. My heart goes out to you too.

 

 

as always you can find these images on my Tumblr!

what I listened to whilst writing:
1. Daft Punk - Get Lucky
2. Palma Violets - We Found Love
3. Rudimental - Been Waiting All Night
4. Kindness - House
5. Chris Malinchak - So Good To Me
6. Mat Zo - Rebound 

Lots of dancey sunny things :) The sun is out YAY!!

Thanks for reading guys, see you next week :)
