46 ELS AVENUE

i'm the only one, i walk alone... ♥

I'm seriously obsessed with watching the topshop behind the scenes and photoshoot video's. I would link but they're on an app on my phone. I'm sure you can find them on the topshop webiste. But they're so weird and fun to watch. It also gives you a sneak peak at the spring collection. It's gorgeous! The main must haves I would say would have to be a geeky button up shirt and high waisted shorts.
There's these four tops that I've wanted for ages but never bought because I can never find them in stores, and my mums funny about ordering online. The first ones a gorgeous owl top. The second has a print of an explosion on it. The third one is a top with a fire thing on the front. And finally, the horse one. I've done them in order that I like them. Starting with my favourite. They're on sale at the moment. One day I will deffinately buy the owl one. They seem to be in topshops permanant section by a studio designer 'your eyes lie'.
I also want a plain pair of jeans. All the fading and rips are not in fashion at the moment. So I just want a pair of plain jane jeans. I was thinking a pair of vintage leigh jeans. They're so tight though! I tried them on in the shop and it felt like I was just in stiff leggings. I suppose they are really. But I didn't have enough for them and this other top, so I just bought the top.
I'm going to go through the topshop website and add up the stuff I want for summer. Might take a while....

four for you glen coco, you go glen coco! ♥

okay, so this is a quote from mean girls. 'cause it was the exact quote that was on the tv.

At the moment I've got a bit of an obsession with reading. I love books! All kinds of books I just love them! I so badly want a floor to ceiling bookshelf in my room. But I'd have to find somewhere to put it in my room. And get the books. In my life I've probably only read about fifty books. Bad I know. But I've gone through 3 books in the last two months and I just can't stop. I don't go out nowadays without a book in case I get bored. I also love my dads old fashioned books he used to read. They look like hard back dictionaries. But started reading one the other day and it was so good. I had to google one or two words but it wasn't too hard to comprehend.

I'm going to try to buy more books and convince my dad to either buy or build me a bookcase. It would be filled with books and notepads and cookbooks and just books books books! It would all be in order alphabetically. I'm now looking around my room wondering where I could put it. Going to go convince the 'rents. Wish me luck!

Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight... ♥

I've got a bit of an obsession for tattoo's and piercings. I know it sounds crazy being as I've never got a tattoo and I have barely any piercings. But I want so many of them! My parents disagree with everything. They say no to any piercing. And just laugh at me if I mention a tattoo. But they haven't thought about it as deeply as I have. I've wanted my lip pierced for over a year. And think about it, what's a tiny bit of metal going through my mouth going to do? I want it done so badly. And I know its the most overrated saying going, but you really do only live once. And I want to live my life to the fullest I possibly can. I do not want to look back on my life when I'm thirty or so, and think 'why didn't I just go for it? Why couldn't I just grow a pair and do what I wanted'. Because at the end of the day, regretting the things you've done isn't half as bad as regretting the things you didn't. Now just try telling my parents that...

Sorry about this rant. Not really a worth while blog. But I kinda got started and couldn't stop. I tend to do that a lot. I'll explain that to my parents sooner or later. Hopefully they'll see exactly how I feel and give me a bit of sympathy. I just pray to God that if I don't have to go behind their backs.

Bet my old private school ain't proud of me... ♥

I'm seriously in love with Hey Monday lately. I can't stop listening to some of their songs! They're like a pop band with an indie reputation. It's hard to describe. But they're seriously amazing. No matter what kind of music you listen to, I bet you'll find at least one of their songs you like. But anyway, onto the real reason for this blog.

Yesterday I posted that I had got my belly pierced but I couldn't post a picture because it was all bloody and disgusting. After finally getting it cleaned and photograph ready. This is the outcome of my stomach. Apparently my belly button looks really small here. But it's not small when you see it in real life. The colour of the gem looks different hear. In life its more turquoisey. It's really nice and goes well with the black. I'm cleaning it so carefully and trying not to get it infected. I really hope it doesn't.

Stand up, take a bow you have, no reason to celebrate... ♥

Today me and Roza went to Shamanic's down London Road in Westcliff to get my belly button pierced. I was so pleased with myself 'cause I didn't even get worked up or scared about it. Roza was getting more anxious than I was. When we got into the actual room where I was getting it pierced, I started to get a little scared. I was shitting myself when she clamped it. Roza had to look away she was so scared. But it was so quick and not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
I also finally sorted out my work placement. Well, at least I think I have. I have to go for an interview on Tuesday after school. Hopefully that goes well then I will be able to do it at Past Times. I love some of the stuff in there. And my original choice was to work in Topshop, but they don't do work experience there. Which I was so upset about. But I'm happy I've got a chance to work at Past Times. Should be quite fun. I hope.

I'm not Schwarzkopf's biggest fan at the moment since I died my hair with their XXL hair dye and it came out a yellowy orange colour. But I have to admit, this could be the nicest hair spray I've ever used. It's a really good hold but it doesn't make your hair have that wet hair sprayed look. It's called invisible hold, and it really does stick to it's name.
My other favourite here is Bed Head's ego boost. It's a serium that you put on wet or damp hair to mend split ends. It's started to work it's magic and it's proving to be worth buying.
These two hair products are definite must haves for me.

Cardigan: River Island
Top: Zara
Leggings: Topshop
Jewellery: Topman or abroad

This is one of my favourite outfits at the moment. I'm in love with my new cardigan. I wasn't to sure when I bought it because it actually has a zip, when I would've preferred buttons. But the zip isn't actually so bad. I'd still prefer buttons though. This outfit can really be worn with any type of top. I was originially going to wear it with my ACDC top, but prefered this one 'cause of the tiger. It's all neutral colours so any tops will go with it really. I did do a close up of the detail on the top. But it kept coming out weird so I gave up in the end.
My jewellery with this is quite simple. I've got some simple dog tags just to add a bit of 'bling' to the outfit. I don't like gold or silver jewellery at the moment. I like metals and greys. So Topman is perfect at the moment. The bracelets towards the bottom of my arm are from topman. The rest are from either France, Zante or Florida. My make-up's a bit extreme here. I normally do have quite bold eyes, but not nearly as much eyeliner on the bottom as I do here. It was mainly to match my lipstick. Its Yves Saint Laurent Lipstick for Heroines in Royal Violet. It's lush! Definitely an investment worth spending.
I've already got 3 blogs saved ready to post. I've just gone crazy blogging now. But I'm going to save them for a time that maybe I don't have any inspiration or am just ocmpletely out of blog idea's. Or just can't be bothered. Hopefully that should be very rare though.

I'll be the narrator, Telling another tale of the American dream... ♥

I havn't blogged in a while. Because I was just going to give it all up because I just didn't find it fun. But I've realised that was because I was blogging when I felt like it, about what I felt like. So now I've decided to put a bit more routine into my blogs. The sub title's will be rather random at times because that was one of the hardest problems I came across when blogging. What to make the title. So from now onwards, whatever song I'm listening to when writing a title I will pick out my favourite line from it and make it the title. Easiest way to do it.
I will also be doing more frequent 'outfit posts'. As you could call them. I will think of a more creative name when I think of one. These will basically be posts about my favourite outfits or maybe just before I go out I'll do a quick blog of what I'm wearing to the cinema or shopping or something.
I might even do a couple of make up and hair post tutorials. Just a few step by step pictures and show some of my favourite styles and products. I will never do any video's of things though. I hate my voice and don't want people to hear it. And I don't have the software to edit out glitches and mishaps.

And as always, I will sign off with my usual picture...
