As it is one of my most read posts, and its coming up to the time of year I wrote it last time, I thought it only fitting to write a travel bucket list #2!
Zion National Park, Utah
the Devil's River, TX
Little Colorado River, Grand Canyon
Central Park, New York City, NY, USA.
The Largest Swimming Pool in the World, Algarrobo, Chile
Santorini, Greece
I think that I would also like to do a culture bucket list, this sounds strange but have you ever thought what its like to be immersed powder paint festivals or living your life in trees? These are without doubt things that I would love to experience and soon I will share that with you! Thanks for reading! Byeeeee
More than once recently, I have stopped to consider my life. I know this sounds strange but little people realize the amount of pressure that year 11 students are actually put under. With the stress of looming exams building up on top of choosing what your new pathway will be, it is important to consider where and what your doing and why your doing it. So I have, and I have decided on my 4 A Level options!
Art and Design and Textile design
I have decided on taking art and design and Textile design as they are something I intend to peruse as a career later in life. Preferably Interior/Fashion. I also really enjoy it and find it super relaxing! This is SOOOO important that you enjoy your subject as it makes the work you do so much more worthwhile!
Photography
Imagine how much this will improve my blogging photo skillz! I am extremely interested in knowing how to take a good photo and I am really looking into fashion photography and am super exited! Media Honestly, I wouldn't have taken or even looked into this if i didn't have to, but once I found out I had no choice but to choose a fourth option, it was really a no brainer that it would be media or film studies that I would choose. I am interested in everything in this industry and love the idea of all of the editing! The only thing that had previously made me discount it was the theory but I guess its interesting and well I think it will be great! So thanks for reading guys! What were/are/will be your A level options?
Today my Spotify premium trial ran out. What the flip happened to the days when I couldn't care less about any music unless it was on the radio and now, well, in the words of Miranda Sings, 'Ya rite...'. Now I have to pay for it. Damn.
Basically school would not be survivable without my trusty pair of head phones and the all of the brillopads artists/bands that live on my phone. This is just a few of the following artists that i'm about to scroll through and mention.
wow what a swarve transition ;)
Ariana Grande
Well Who dosn't love her high notes and her baby face. She is amazing. Great songs, Great voice, great videos and great personality. The package!
MIKA And when MIKA teams up with Ariana Grande it turns out to be the best thing since sliced bread. And his other songs aren't too shabby either! Haha I'm just kidding they are incredebobs.
Alex Day
Yes I'm aware of the accusations against Alex Day and totally am not ok with that but I can't lie, Good morning sunshine is a great song and will always brighten my day!
Banks Oooh The coolness of this lady.
Beyonce Ooooohh The sass of this lady.
Bombay Bicycle Club Chill songs for a chill night. Bombay Bicycle Club will always remind me of my grandparents in Devon as they also love the band!
George Ezra More chilled vibed. Also very happy! If you havent heard of him already I suggest you go and have a look now! (After you've finished reading this post of course!)
Gorillaz Gorillaz are such a trip down memory lane for me as my parents have always listened to them. Recently rediscovered and certainly not regretted!
Iggy Azelea Who dat Who Dat.
Magic! Who doesn't love a sprinkle of magic in their life. Especially if its in the art form of Canadian style reggae pop. ( I had no idea that was a thing either, haha)
(and I could not miss this one out (not mine) check it out for the lols)
MKTO "Ooooohhh girl your'e shining, like a 5th avenue diamond...." stop me, stop me now. I can rap this song like bloody Eminem :D
Neon Trees Oh yes I do like me a bit of those neon trees, whoever heard of them?! Seriously though, I cant even describe the brilliance of every single ounce of every song they have ever made. ever.
San Cisco Ditto. In fact times that ditto by 100 and that doesn't even come close to these aussie geniuses.
Troye Sivan (TRYXE) Proud times one hundred.
By music we love, I mean music that I currently love that I can hopefully pass on to you guys! Then I will become we and that's ultimately the dream right? Right. Thanks for reading! Byeeeeeeeee
Photography project: Modern Day Alice (Before editing)
My current textiles project is 'Alice in Wonderland' themed, and I have decided to do some photography over the weekend, and this is how they turned out. I will be editing them and will do a blog post om that too but I was quite happy with the results and I've not done a post in a while!
So the meaning of 'modern day Alice' ( title of the group of photos) is basically young girls in this day and age that are judged of left alone for being different. Alice would have been judged after falling 'down the rabbit hole' for telling lies/ going mad, and these days, going mad isn't and good as the book suggests. There's a part of me that doesn't want to believe that Alice would be bullied and have no friends these days but i'm convinced that would have been exactly what would have happened. Even though this is a beautiful 9 year old girl (my little sister modeling 'Alice') it would really make no difference and for being 'mad' it would not be a happy place for her to be. So in these photos she reverts to day dreaming, playing alone and reading.
Hope you like these pictures!
~Alice lying on the grass, a well known part of the book/ film where she is reading the book next to her big sister and falls asleep, and that's where the adventure begins....
~Exploring
~At home she is left alone ,daydreaming and wishing for the next time she will visit 'Wonderland'
So thanks for taking the time to go through these photos and I hope they will inspire you!
Also, it would be sugh a help if you could comment the kinds of editing would look good, I was thinking colour splashes on some, black and white others but I'm still not totally sure, so comment your thoughts, I would appreciate it!
Hi Everybody! So I guess this is different for me, I don't generally have a lot of music that is in the charts that I like but at the moment, I really do, I have (slightly shamefully) totally given in to chart music! I haven't fallen out of love with all the other music I have but this stuff is seriously great stuff!
Probably one off my favorite authors of all time is Judy Blume, I am in LOVE with her writing style and even though she is clearly an experienced writer as my mum used to read her books I still love every single one I read! My favorite is though, by far, 'Forever'. To be honest it's kind of a 14-18 year old's style. It's about a girls "First love, First sex, First heartbreak." That's why I said that sort of age range, as I doubt a younger or older girl/guy would enjoy this type of book! However, I love it, and if you like girly, romantic, cheesy and funny books then you will love this, no doubt! If you are a younger reader you may find this book a bit racy so its best you find out what you are in for!
So as you may know, I have just recently moved house, hence the lack of posts! Over that time though, it's started to get cold, and as for those of you who know me may know, my favorite part of the year is when it starts to get cold, the leaves fall, and the clothes get cozy. Actually, I especially like the clothes side of things and I have a SUPERRR long wish list for this month. So I have decided to narrow it down for you guys and show you my absolute must haves! (All pictures sourced at ASOS) Disclaimer:So this is all extremely expensive stuff, yes, I'm aware of that and no, by no means will i be able to afford it all (sad face) but a girl can dream right?!
So all of the these things I LOVE! I love making autumn colorful whilst sticking to basics and I think this really does do that! I'm also loving (if you can't tell) midi skirts! I wore them through summer and I'm not about to stop! Thanks for reading! Link me your autumn wardrobe and we can start a tag! Byeee!
So I am currently in the midst of moving house, It is so strange to know that I will never sleep in the same house again, I have slept in my new house for two days now but there is still ALOT to do and it is really quite stressful as I have tons on homework to do (should probably be doing that now!) but as a family we're getting on with it! My sister is struggling most, she has so many friends on the road we're on and although we are not moving out of the area we are changing road and moving far out and they don't go to the same school :( poor Amie :( But anyways the new house is gorgeous, and in a lovely area! I will take some pictures and do a blog post on that soon!
So I decided to call this post little steps because although it ties in perfectly with moving house, it also ties in perfectly with \how I want to work this blog. I am SO grateful to be getting all this support from you all and it's crazy how I have already meat so many awesome people just bu doing this blog! So that's how I hope it carry's on, in little steps hopefully this blog will grow and I will be able to fulfill my dream which is to travel and share it with all of you! But it is important you know,I don't do this for the followers and although I am EXTREMELY grateful for you guys I would still do it even if I only had one viewer. Each and every one means so much to me because you are helping me turn my dream into reality, all in little steps!
So basically this is a big fat squeezy thank you to everyone reading!
