December

I am really sorry for my absence but I've been having health issues for a couple of weeks, nothing serious! I promise next couple of weeks i'll pick this up again!

Okay, so today I am wearing a CTFxC shirt, owl necklace, black skinny jeans and a housewife skull scarf around my head!
It's very relaxed as my friend is coming over and we're watching Christmas Movies! Anyone done this yet? I'm so excited!

If you don't know, CTFxC are a couple, Charles and Alli, that document their daily life via youtube, they're so cute and I enjoy watching them. The shirt is a Warhol style of thier adorable doggies! :D
Check them out!

Be back soon, promise! xo

Vivienne Westwood loveee

I'm so sorry for being away! I've been so busy, I went to London for two days and had the best time! I will write more and post photos tomorrow, all I can say is, I need these shoes in my life...
I physically touched them and they're everything I want haha! I didn't think it was possible to love Vivienne Westwood any more than I already do but seeing her clothes with my own eyes was something I'll never forget! ...something that boys will never understand?! *sighhh*

Goulden Cardiff

My weekend was so perfect (:
I went to Cardiff with my good friend Christina. The reason to visit this pretty city? The one and only Ellie Goulding
of course! I also highly recommend seeing this artist too! Perfection comes to mind when I was watching her perform. Every note hit perfectly, interaction with the audience was amazing and on the slow songs, intense and soulful. She covered Temper Trap, Sweet Disposition which I shed a little tear at, seriously beautiful (:

I'll stop being soppy and post photos!
(again, please credit if taking and please do not remove the tag, thank you!)








I also recorded a video of her and her band mate drumming, my camera is usually really bad and I didn't think the video was going to come out great, it came out better than what I expected and wish I recorded more!


OH! How amazing is the Cardiff mall?! WOW! It's huge, I love it! I bought a cupcake travel bag!
Anyone ever been? xo

6th November



i woke this morning not feeling 100% so i'm having a lazy day, kicking back and doing some work.

hope your weekend is perfect xo

Friday 5 November 2010

a slice of Paloma!


(my own photo, please credit if taking! and please do not remove tag! Just makes everyones life easier and happier (: I was second row, yay!)

Paloma Faith was absolutly magical last night. I knew she was good, I have her album on constant and I've seen a few of her performances on tv, but I didn't relise how inspiring she was just by her voice. I cried a little, but a good cry, I was really touched and moved by her music. She's so theatrical and funny, God! What a funny woman. She's so breezy and connects with the audience so well. She really involves you with the whole show. She's just fantastic and I highly recomend to see her if you can! I went with my best friend, Sam and her little sister, Lauren (it was her first gig! cute!) Lauren loves Eliza Doolittle who was the supporting act, who was amazing also. Next Friday I'm traveling up to Cardiff with my other best friend, Christina to see the almighty Ellie Goulding! I shall keep you posted on that!

Today I went to lunch with Sam and had a pizza, oh yeah!

It was so good! What's your favourite?

Hope you all have a great fireworks night! Be safe! xo

Happy 11th Birthday Bella!


I can't believe it's been 11 years since I got her for Christmas!
I was always obsessed with cats, since I was very young. I used to love drawing them on everything. I always wanted one but my Dad was never good with animals. When I was 7 my parents finally gave in. In the begining of December 1999 my Mum took me to a house where the woman was giving cute kitties away. There was one left.


A small, cute, black and white, yellow eyed beauty.
I sat on a one seat chair, nervous, as I'd never held a real life kitten in my small life.
She sniffed around my feet and jumped up onto the arm of the chair and started crying at me.
I think at that moment, my heart melted.
I picked her up and cradled her into my arms where she lightly purred and closed her eyes.


We took her home and I couldn't stop playing with her. Expecially as it was around Christmas time, she loved playing with the decorations!
Her sleeping place was next to the front room door.


She knows me very well and has for years. She knows when I'm sad and curls up next to me to keep me happy.
She knows my happiness.
and she's always been there when I'm painting, watching me.
I love it when I find her in silly places.
I love coming home to her and seeing her cute face.
I love it when she twitches her paws.
and I love finding her asleep on her back with her big Thumper feet in the air.

scrapbooking and autumn

I'm so excited for autumn! Apart from summer it's my favourite season. I love the indie style that is inspired by the season and cute, quirky accessories that come with it! I found a beautiful vintage suitcase today that i'm hoping to get soon! I hope to get it before I go away to Cardiff in november (:

Yesterday I met some amazing people and i'm really excited to start this new journey in my life. I'm hoping that I can start selling my products around january/febuary time.
..

To organize my days I bought a new diary today, I had such a hard time choosing as everything was so cute! I ended up with cupcakes, you can never
go wrong with them!


i know, cute right?

Also bought Rolling Stone, Katy Perry is one fine lady...



i've admired her style for a while, well, since she started. i love her obsession with cute fruit and anything with faces on. she's just everything you'd expect a pop star to be but she's also intelligent.


here's the front cover of my scrapbook, i'm really excited to finish it (:

there's more sneak peaks on my deviant. plus a new painting!: http://twiggy-3.deviantart.com/

have a lovely week! xo

4 Simple Goals


This is such a positive idea that everyone can do! Elsie Flannigan set this up that many people are doing, check out the post here! (banner is from her blog)


I'm late blogging this but I have been doing some for the time being.

1. only use straighteners on my hair once a week. I love my hair but it's so thin at the moment and I think it's due to having no money so I can't

buy organic hair moisteriser and by the amount of times I straighten it in a week! I've done this before for about 2 months a noticed a difference in my hair. It felt good!

2. drink at least 3 glasses of water a day. I do not like water that much but I know it's good for you! It's annoying. but I drink way too much caffine, I can through about 2-4 liters a day of the stuff which is not good!

3. get a tattoo in october. since I was about 14 I've been obsessed with tattoos. I've always wanted a tattoo that was meaningful and loosing my uncle 2 years ago was one of the most painful but mind opening things to happen in my life. I won't go into detail until I get the tattoo but I've been designing it for a while!

4. take 1 photo everyday. I love photographs and feel I never take enough. Even if it's the most boring thing in the world, I'm going to take one photo everyday and post it...

I think this is such a brilliant idea and it's great to be shared even though it's so personal too!

Be sure to check out Elsie's blog for more inspiring, wonderful ideas!

back soon xo
