Style is a simple way of saying complicated things

I enjoy fashion but I don't obsess over it although I do spend too much money on it. I haven't really seemed to develop a style I am happy with just yet. I was browsing the River Island website and saw their 'Chic in the City' trend and for the first time I saw a collection of items that included everything I would want in a wardrobe. I think Pinterest is a great way to find inspiration and I realised that this Chic trend is wonderful but my style needs a whole lot more black and a few bolder patterns. I think I need to invest in some basics or even classic pieces; I really just want to start making my wardrobe have endless possibilities. I don't know how well this will go because I always go through 'they're just clothes' phases, wish me luck. 

It's a Lasting Love #3

If I could marry one celebrity it would be Paul Wesley. I always thought the love began when I watched the first episode of the Vampire Diaries all those years ago but no, his appearance in 8 Simple Rules was what set this love in motion. My 16th birthday cake actually had a photo of him on (I have never realised how weird I sound until writing all about this obsession) so when 16 year old me met him at a Vampire Diaries convention I couldn't believe it and I couldn't stop crying. No joke, I cried every time he spoke to me and when I managed to get a hug the tears streamed. Thankfully, I played it cool until he wasn't around and then let my emotions ruin me. Last year I met him again, two years older I thought I would be fine and this encounter would be different. I left our photo op crying, thankfully played it cool once again, I don't know what happens to me. Maybe it's being overly excited, nervous and having to cope with the pressure of actually winning my photo op last year that changes me completely. Anyway, Paul Wesley needed to make an appearance on my blog; the love needed to be documented and what better way than part of my lasting love series. Hopefully I'll meet him again because there will be no bigger confidence boast on Earth that can match him winking at you *insert all the love / crying emojis here*. 

Life...

I'm becoming that annoying person that at the start of each blogpost I'm like 'oh hello I haven't wrote a blogpost in a while because *insert excuse here*'. And when I am gone I'm not away long enough to be like let me list my exciting life experiences to you all. So here it goes, im not motivated when it comes to blogging at the moment. I am in a part of my life where I'm having to plan my future and focus on getting good grades but all I want to do is go traveling for 20 years and come back with an extremely good looking Greek husband and a life that is sorted. This is going to be a kind of catching up post, rolling about five potential posts into one. My brain has gone mad, wish me luck. 

1. I really want to travel to Brazil. I know it's not the safest place in the world but right now I don't care. Many I'll have to go when I'm older as I'll be able to stay in a place where I will have less chance of being robbed; I think this obsession has a large part to do with me falling in love with Neymar Jr at the world cup last year so I dread to know what I'll be like when the Olympics is there.

2. Community is one of the best shows ever in my opinion. It's hilarious and the fact all seasons have been put onto Netlfix is perfect.If you haven't watched it before please do, you honestly won't regret it, the episodes are only 20 minutes long so you don't feel bad when you watch five in a row. I love so many of these characters it's ridiculous. Everyone needs to watch just to experience Troy and Abed. 

3. I recently finished We Were Liars and the end made up for the beginning and middle not being as exciting as I was expecting it to be. I feel like I have never read a book with a bigger plot twist than this; I feel like I need to read it again now I know all the details they were hiding. I'm really trying to finish all the books I have before I go and buy anymore. Life of Pi is my love. It's one of the most quotable books I've ever read and it sounds weird but it just makes you think about life in a completely different way. Anyway, it needs to be finished, I had to stop when I kept having dreams I was being eaten by animals but luckily that doesn't seem to be happening at the moment.

 4. I'm now into the last stage of my art foundation; the piece above was the final design for my previous project. It has this great in depth meaning behind it but I don't think this post is the best thing to explain it in. I've really been enjoying art again lately; when I was getting ready to go to University interviews I felt like I had this great pressure to create amazing pieces but now I just enjoy creating the work I want to and see how it ends up. 

 5. I'm going to keep this last one short, I don't have Instagram and I need to make one. I think I worry too much that I'll be judged on social media but I need to keep in contact with my friends when they go to uni and think Instagram is the platform for me. 

Italy is Always a Good Idea...

'You may have the universe if I may have Italy.'

I miss Italy a lot these days. I thought I would share some of my favourite photos from my trip there, for now I will have to keep looking at them until I'm able to return. I really like doing this kind of post, I made a Greece one a few months back, it helps keeps the need for traveling at bay. I wish I could spend my life constantly visiting different places around the world it would be perfect. Maybe one day, wish me luck. 

A Random Haul...

I have a bit of a shopping problem although I've never done a haul on my blog; this is about to change. The first of many will be a bit of a random one! Showing my obsession with homeware and the exercise hype I'm on at the moment. Lets begin with trusty Primark. As I've got older I seem to only buy clothes from there if they are to do with Disney; I never thought their clothes were the best quality, I guess you can't expect a lot with how little they cost, their homeware on the other hand is both affordable and able to challenge other stores on the quality. I felt my bedroom needed to be injected with some colour and when I saw palm tree patterned cushions for £3 and turtle bedding I knew purchases would be made. The stuff they have in right now is the nicest stuff they have had in my opinion, you need to go and have a look! I'm still not sure how I feel about my £5 purchase from Tiger, this Ab Wheel is not for me at the moment. I am just a weakling right now but its one of those things that you can almost feel working. For the price I can't complain, hopefully I will actually develop some abs, wish me luck!
