Galaxygalaxygalaxygalaxygalaxy!

Sooooo... yesterday I spent a small fortune on ASOS.

I bought me a lovely galaxy print skirt, a cat print playsuit and a top with a galaxy print on it.



I'm not completely obsessed with galaxy things I swear....

Peter Pilotto for Kippling - LOVE.



If I could spend a much bigger fortune at ASOS, here are my top five pieces:
Pieces Soft Stud Clutch

Pieces Slouchy Studded Bag in the style of Alexander Wang (because I could kind of afford this version in comparison to the real one, although if I had a choice between the two I'd sooooo go for the Alexander Wang one... who wouldn't?)


Grey Feather Cape
I've been debating this for MONTHS. Since it actually came out aaaaages ago. But I just can't think of a reason to buy it other than it's beautiful, I'd have no idea what to wear it with it's just something I love. BUT I have come to a plan - Halloween. Perfect excuse!

And....
All of these.
I LOVE them.
God knows they'll be out of fashion soon enough but they are AMAZING.
I'd more than likely get the matching mittens that I saw in New Look the other day....

Major spending spree going on in my brain.

Wish my student loan could stretch that far.

Young Guns - Weight of the World



I first fell in love with Young Guns when I heard this song two years ago.
The original, every time I listened to it had so much meaning and power. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy and happy inside.
The new version has a different feeling, I still feel happy but it doesn't have quite the same effect.
To be honest the first version reminds me of my best friend Ben, and the newer version reminds me of seeing Young Guns live with my friend Dee. So they each have different specialities.

But back to this video, this video is amazing.
The beauty of Scotland in the background, its just draw dropping.
It doesn't help that Gus Wood is absolutely flawless.
You feel like you need to watch it again and again....

So enjoy.
I hope you love them as much as I do!

"Why bats Master Wayne?" "Bats frighten me. It's time my enemies share my dread."

I know its been a while. Moving into the house and going to Bestival, and sorting out all my stuff aswell as doing work and helping out at uni a little bit, it's all very tiring.

Not to mention last night for my housemates birthday, I got very drunk with a very sorrowful ending. Sorrowful for myself as I did something I majorly fear. And I feel so much for Irish for being there with me when I needed it most. Also I am very sorry!

Moving into the house has been both exciting and terrifying. The area where our house is isn't quite the nicest area. Yesterday we actually saw a guy with a tag. I come from a small town, where all the rough stuff is kept hush hush and at most the roughest thing to happen down my street was someone got their number plates stolen! So this is all very... interesting... to deal with. But I need to grow up anyway, especially in this profession where I shall more than likely be living in London and probably starting out in a small flat in a rough area as I won't be able to afford a nice area... This thought is just so unexciting... But hey. We all have to do it. Part of growing up.

As of the past couple of weeks, the start of Uni looming has been very scary. I've been so nervous, and today I don't feel to nervous. I just need to get my work done, and I should be ok. There'll be bad points about my work of course, this is second year after all, but I'll work it. I've learnt in the past couple of days that when I feel angry or upset, doing work and listening to loud music makes me feel a lot better. And it gets the work done. So channelling my anger into work might help this year.

Why can't you be yourself?

Some things I'm too excited for in the near future:
  • Seeing my best friend again (imisshim).
  • Bestival. (Unicorn Kid)
  • My birthday. Not because of all the presents but because this is a time of year that my true friends will make the effort.
  • Seeing Paramore in November.
  • Seeing Thirty Seconds To Mars in November.
  • Christmas. I get to go home.

Why do people feel the need to try to be SO like you?

Be individual.

LEEDS FESTIVAL

I went on the Saturday (28th August) and it was incredible!

Bands seen:
Motion City Soundtrack
Lights
The King Blues
HEALTH
All Time Low
L'amour La Morgue
You Me At Six
The Drums
Kele
Weezer
Foals
One Night Only
Paramore
And Blink 182

Yes I made a really good go of running around seeing everything I wanted to. Some bands I did just see the starting or ending songs of but I still saw them all.
I was most chuffed to see One Night Only and definitely Blink 182 being the biggest highlight. I was most disappointed by L'Amour La Morgue where I was expecting to see Ian Watkins but he was not there and my friends and I spent this set most confused as there was nothing to say that the rather good looking guy playing music and running round stage clapping was L'Amour La Morgue minus Ian Watkins. But oh well.
Worth it all in the end.

Saw a guy at Leeds though with galaxy print shorts I couldn't stop staring, my friends had to drag me away. I was most in love with his shorts!
Also managed to find myself a lion hat! After a year of searching and umming and ahhing over them!

My Favourite Episode of The Hills

I haven't watched that many of The Hills, I mainly became hooked on it because my friend Helen was watching it and kept telling me about the hilariosity of Heidi apres cosmetic surgery. Then I watched a couple of the first series episodes and was interested in the fashion side of it, but when I came home all that was on mtv were the later series so I've been watching those.
So I watched this weekends episode, and it is by far my favourite. The group (minus Heidi and Spencer) went to Costa Rica on a week away. Kristin and Brody has an argument as per, you learn Stephanie has a fear of all bugs and animal kind, and Brody is so sweet when they climb up to a waterfall and he congratulates Stephanie on braving it and not having a major freak out, it was way cute!
Anyway the main reason I loved this episode was the beautiful scenes, the hotel, and some of the beach wear the girls wore!


I really like Kristin's top in the above images, it looks a bit tie-dye purple-pink in the episode, and she wears it with a black bikini underneath, she makes it her own by knotting it at the side making it look like a crop top.


To add to more of the tie-dye effect, Stephanie wears this dark blue tie-dye top on their trip to the waterfall. The tie-dye on her top creates a fan print, so it looks like it's been concertina'd on the sides and then put in the dark blue dye.

Audrina also wore this really pretty black tiered summer dress with a bikini underneath it. Really cool, easy beachwear.

The beautiful beach scenes, and the amazing hotel have really got me excited for my holiday to Sri Lanka and the Maldives. It's not going to be exactly the same, but the sun, sea and beauty of the places will be amazing. I'm pretty excited, it's such a once in a lifetime thing since in around nine years time the Maldives will be underwater due to global warming and will cease to exist anymore. Not that many people know this these days!
