Don't Look Back Into The Sun

Yikes. So much has happened since my last real blog post! The last six months have both concluded the last fourteen years of school and (hopefully) opened the door to the next chapter of my life. It's safe to say that, for me at least, exam season is not conducive to great fashion, hence my recent absence from this blog! But now that exams, stress, school and homework are truly over forever, and I only have the long, hot and sultry summer to look forward to, it's time to make my return to my two true loves: beauty and style, in whichever forms that they take.

Here are some of the few fashion snippets that have marked the end of the schoolgirl era.

(Wearing an Olive shirt and Topshop shorts at the Leavers' Awards Ceremony- yes I won something!)

(From the impromptu road trip my boyfriend whisked me off on the day after my last exam, to de- stress!)

Another music post I'm afraid...

I've been pretty much listening to this album on repeat for the last couple of days, and 'Mermaid' has become my newest obsession. Perfect if you like your music trance- y, with complex bass and rhythms woven in.

Turn it up LOUD and dance your feet off, that's my advice.

We Were Children

My favourite song at the moment. It's videos like this that make me crave summer festivals, listening to bands in the open air and want to live in Camden.

His voice is oh so beautiful.

p.s. Back SOON with fashion related thingamajigs!

The Best Video Around...

Firstly, a big apology for my (too) lengthy absence, things are rather hectic at the moment and I've barely had time to breath since my last post! But in the time since then I have:

• Sat two exams, one good, one absolutely disastrous
• Turned 18, and everything that goes with that little milestone!
• Started to design/ plan my own handmade leather bag, a birthday present from my parents
• Had an incredible weekend in London with my boyfriend, and went to a mini- festival at the Forum
• Become incredibly obsessed with Sex and the City, another present!
• Decided which university I will (hopefully!) be attending next year
• And also, I've started taking Ballet classes again, after almost two years of nothing; before that I was dancing for hours each week from the age of 5!

Most importantly, in terms of fashion, I have several exciting new additions to my wardrobe! Unfortunately, I have also broken the camera that would allow you all to see said new outfits, so instead I'm giving you the best (forget Gaga!) video around at the moment... enjoy!

yumm.....
