Santa have some wine...

Well Christmas cheer is once again upon us and like many many people I am hoping that I have been a good enough soul to earn some lovely gifts this year. Dear Santa, preferably these are the magical things i would like. They'd make my life so much easier... honest!

The lovely Rose Hook and Eye dress from the yummy TOPSHOP- I love and live for all things floral.
This cosy gorgeous cardigan from Urban Outfitters although I think it would look cooler with gold buttons maybe? Or would that not work. Who am I to know? I have no eye for fashion.

1) This slouchy bag would definitely perfect my "trying to look nonchalant but secretly LOVE this bag with a fiery passion" look 2) I have wanted some military style boots for ages, well ever since Company (or was it Glamour?) told me that they would look G-reaat with a girly dress. 3) Always wanted a clock necklace, anyone remember that white rabbit? Love Alice in Wonderland. 4) The Bow headband-perfection for my head, I'm getting really into these at the moment. 5) How cool do these tights look? Tres cool with extra bits. I NEED them, yes that's right.
Finally I have wanted some new eye makeup for a while and this caught my eye in Boots, needless to say soon it will be mine!


MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE - Hope Santa brings you everything you want and more!

You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will

I love fashion photos, I love how they do actually tell a story. Almost like a fairytale. The Poor girl with big dreams.

Fashion photos show that fashion is in fact art. I'm not a huge follower of fashion. Don't get me wrong I like to make an effort but again the stuff in my wardrobe is hardly "in". I follow a lot of fashion blogs because they are interesting and, like I said, a form of art. It's amazing seeing an outfit that someone has created.

I wish I knew how to put clothes together and know that they just worked. I would never dream to put a girly short dress with huge heavy biker boots but it works! It looks good, it looks arty.

In fashion photos it's not just the clothing that could legitimately stand in an art gallery, it's the set. Fashion photographers must put so much thought, not only into the position of their models but also the location. For example the photo of the girl in the billowing blue dress in a run down flat makes the product stand out. It's beauty in the most unlikely place. Yet somehow the dress makes this meager location somehow look fairey-Esq. The spiral staircase with the subtle patterns makes this building seem greater than it is. It gives it an edge, makes it appear like it has a history. It complements this designers piece as if they had used this derelict room as inspiration.
The craziness of fashion photos also add to the complete arty vibe. I could imagine seeing any one of these pictures in an art gallery. They are just as much works of art as any other photo or paining. The designer of the clothes, the set designers and the photographer have all worked just as hard as any other artist. They have successfully made their finished piece one that catches the imagination, that makes the intended audience want to buy the clothes. If that isn't art then what is?

Fashion photography is art in my opinion, sure I'm not really that bothered about the clothes featured though yeah I would quite like wear some of the dresses featured in vogue but there is something more. When you look at all the vogue cover spreads and the fashion photography inside it's like each piece does tell a story and story's can be appreciated by everyone whether they have that keen eye for fashion or not.

Moon River Wider Than A Mile, I'm Crossing You In Style Someday...

Absolutely 100% in love with Audrey Hepburn's style. Although I stay firmly by my opinion of there is no need to be that perfect. She was beautiful, she could act and she could sing. She also had oodles of style.

Oh Dream Maker, You Heart Breaker, Wherever You're Going I'm Going You're Way

I'm Loving:

Audrey Hepburn Films, Cold Winter nights and ice frosted mornings, Big Coats, Bigger Boots, Decadence, Poetry and Songs with memories.

Two Drifters Off To See The World,There's Such A Lot Of World To See

I've been Christmas shopping, there is nothing like Christmas shopping to get you into the mood for some holiday cheer. I love the picking of the gift, the buying and then the best bit THE WRAPPING! But seriously I didn't know so much could go wrong wrapping up a simple present. I nearly ended up wrapping myself!

We're After The Same Rainbows End, Waiting Round The Bend, My Huckleberry Friend

Moon River And Me.

Can't Wait till it begins to snow, ohhh I hope it does snow. I really want to make my legendary Snow Duck and (even though I am 17) give into childhood fun and make snow angels as well!

ALOHA

It's been a while an I feel quite bad haha. I've just had sooo much work and about 24676387 pieces of homework to do. That's A levels for you.

I'm loving: short hair, candyfloss, Ryan Adams, Boys Boys Boys, Making Lists, Sylvia Plath and Fireworks.

So Ryan Adams- how good? Just too good is the answer. The song La Cienega Just Smiled makes me so sad and happy in an uncontrollable rush. I love songs like that. In fact his whole album "Gold" is one to hear.

And I'm too scared to know how I feel about you now...

This lyric is so true on so many levels. Both with friends and boys. You don't want to admit that you are upset with a good friend and you don't want to question that friendship. Truth is you have to in order to be happier with yourself. With Boys-bleh bleh bleh. Sameee old.

It's good to be back blogging!

Hopefully people will comment :) Comments make me happy lol.

Thanks for reading!

New Shorttttterrr Hair

I BELIEVE IN LOVE AND I LOVE BEING A HUMAN BEING

I dislike my new hair, it makes me look like a boy. But I've wanted it like this for a while now so at least I know what it looks like.

I'm loving

Long dresses, Sky lines, Record Players, Cider, Cheap guitars and Singing songs from the 60's and the 70s.

It was such a long time ago...

Once again on the rack of love sadly but what can you do? Not much.

BeatleMania!!

Aloha

Rights! Beatles Week has begun on the BBC and tbh its about time!

I LOVE The Beatles. I was born in 1992 and from the word go I was introduced to their music. It has been played from crib and most likely will continue to be played to coffin. So what if I'm living in the past by listening to these 60's phenomenons. So what! They are, hands down, the best band ever to come out of music. Hell they basically created genres for music.

While my Guitar Gently Weeps...

The Beatles have influenced me in most things. They have given me my funeral (or one of them) song, yes it's a bit early i know but Blackbird is GONNA be played.

George Harrison is hands down the best Beatle. I'm sorry for all you Lennon lovers but this is a fact haha and the sooner people realise that this is the case the better! I was recently talking to my uncle about this epic band and I told him that Harrison was my favourite and he simply said, "Oh must be a Smith family trait to love George", in that case it's a very good trait lol.

I have no purpose in writing this

I didn't plan on blogging today but I have been watching the footage and shows the BBC has been showing intently and I just felt I should blog about it lol. I LOVE THE BEATLES, yes I know i have said that but it DID need saying again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!


ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT READS AND COMMENTS THIS

MUCH LOVE! xx
