Can't Go Back Now

I have literally had this song, Can't Go Back Now, by the Weepies on repeat for days. I love it so much. Just a quick update, school is okay, life's good, feeling really happy and content actually. I dunno, obviously things are never perfect and some things are annoying in life. I just have this great appreciation for things lately. I dunno what. Just rambling on now, had barely any sleep this week (like every other week to be honest) and it's getting late.

I always get into this situation where I'm tired and it's late, but all I want to do is stay up and read. Right now, I'm reading Freakonomics, which a friend lent me. I don't usually read non-fiction, but it's actually really interesting. Even though I'm a painfully slow reader, it's kinda slow to get into, so it's taking me a while to get through. So eh.

Anywho, I have a photo from my birthday. Don't really wanna bore you with photos of all my family and friends, but I had an amazing day on Saturday and will share some gifts soon enough. Here's a photo of me and I'm just in my lovely dress. It was a lovely day and yeah, just really enjoyed it. Maybe that's what made me realise how lucky I am and prompted my appreciation for everything.



So glad it's the weekend! Gonna have a long read and then go to bed after that, I think. Still got loads of books to read and films to watch, I'll be sharing those with you on my next post. Hope you all have a lovely weekend anyways! Happy blogging!

Band of Horses

I'm really getting on top of the regular posting on my blog lately. Anyway, so glad that this week is over! It's been good, but I always hate it when there's something to look forward to at the weekend, because the week invariably draaaaags. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, wearing my Marc Jacobs dress and spending time with my family and friends.

Here's a few photos, I wore this in enrichment today:


The Paul Frank t-shirt, DKNY jeans & French Connection blazer are hand-me-downs.
The leather belt is from Italy.

Displaying George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London and my grey No. 7 nail varnish.

Anywho I'm tired, gonna finish off some reading, watch a bit of telly and go to bed. Can't wait for tomorrow! Will take loads of photos. Happy blogging!

Happy birthday to me!

Hi all! Just a pretty quick post to let you know that I am officially a fifteen year old! To be honest, I think I've changed quite a lot, but I don't really know. I've had a fantastic year of being fourteen. I went to America and experienced so many fantastic things, I travelled round Chicago and then New York where I watched Wicked on Broadway. I did really well socially and academically and it's been a real blessing. I learnt a lot and I just feel kind of worldly and mature now, haha. I feel extremely grateful for having such a great family and equally great friends. Everything that was wrong with the world last year has slowly righted itself. Sure, not everything is perfect, but I am really content right now.

And better yet, I have seen this blog blossom and I love being able to write what I want, whenever I want. It's been great to know all of you guys through this blog too and I am looking forward to another year of great things.

And because I'm not such a great fan of word-overload, here are a couple of pictures of me.
Chloe. At fifteen years old.




I'm gonna be celebrating my birthday (and my non-identical twin's, I almost forgot to add!) on Saturday with my family and friends at Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Really excited to celebrate it and yeah. Hope the rest of your week is good! Happy blogging :-)

Berries: Burberrys and blackberries...

Hey everyone! So like I said, I will be posting some more of my presents aaaand...
This Burberry top was another joint Christmas and Birthday present, bought at Bicester Village after Christmas. It was £29 reduced from £195 and it's so classy with just a pair of black skinny jeans. You can't see the back, but it the cut is lovely and it's kind of pleated/ruched at the back, can't really explain, but it is lovely! :-)





Onto the next berry... I got my phone upgrade the other day and I just love having a blackberry! It's the Curve 9300 3G and it's so amazing. My internet package hasn't started yet, but it's gonna be cool having BBM and internet on my phone and stuff. And my friend got me a black case which is lovely too! Another little thing is the No. 7 grey nail varnish that I got as I had a £5 off voucher in Boots to spend.



Anyway, enough showing off. Feeling extremely lucky to have received a multitude of lovely things recently. My birthday's in 4 days and it just feels so weird to think that I'll be fifteen years old... Hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend, I'm gonna try doing some revising for a Chemistry test, I think. Happy blogging!

Ghost

Hi all! School has been pretty good and this week has gone by relatively quickly, even though it's only Wednesday evening. I got some pretty good results back. Got A* in my Physics test and also 19/20 in my History test which I was quite pleased with. Anyway, just wanted to do a quick outfit post today and try and get back into the blogging spirit, seeing as I've been seriously lacking in any inspiration lately..!



I'm wearing my hand-me-down DKNY jeans which were my aunty's from like ten years ago. The jumper is my sister's from Urban Outfitters for a tenner. I wore this out to town when I was shopping and it's just really simple, but I like the cut of the jumper and everything. Hope you're all well and that your new years have gone off to a great start. My birthday's in a week! :-) Happy blogging!

The title of this blog is Ghost by Robyn Dell'Unto. I actually heard this on a television show that I watch called Being Erica. It was the last episode of the series last week and I really love it! Now, in its place is Life Unexpected, a new television show which I already love! :-) (My life doesn't revolve entirely around the telly, only partially!)

Marc by Marc Jacobs dress!

Hey guys! A really exciting thing is that I got a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress as sort of a Christmas slash Birthday present! It's so brilliant and beautiful and it was in the sale with an extra hundred pounds knocked off. PLUS it was bought with lots of Selfridges vouchers that I had, so it all worked out great! I've tried it on about ten million times already and I'm gonna wear it on my birthday with my new suede heels from Clarks (hehe) which were only ten pounds. :-)

So here is an outfit post, fiiiinally!




Dress - Marc by Marc Jacobs, Shoes - Clarks

It is just beautiful, isn't it?! I also have some a few other presents that I would like to show you in my next post. But that's for next time :-) I'm just so grateful to my momma for getting me the dress as well as my gifted Selfridges vouchers from last year. And I can't wait now cause it's my birthday in 11 days, I can't believe I'll be fifteen!

Hope everyone's well. I started school again on Wednesday and it's been quite tiresome, but I've done all my homework so I'm free for the weekend! It's a pretty good feeling :-) Happy blogging!

Happy New Year!

Hi all, I can't believe it's now the year 2011! It feels weird just trying to write it. I've had a wonderful week, from Christmas up til now. I've just been so busy, so haven't really had much chance to sit down and write it all down. I don't really have much time now, as I'm going out in half an hour, but just wanted to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What a year it's been! I wanted to show you a few things that I got recently, actually. I didn't really get much in terms of presents as we don't do big Christmases, but I did get a few bits and bobs. Also, I won another giveaway! I still can't believe I've won two, but thanks must go to the fabulous Jasmine at :: Lavender's Green ::! I really love her blog and have loved getting to know Jasmine too. So go take a look!

Here are the lovely things that I received! Thanks so much, Jasmine!




Anyway, I must be off now to celebrate the 1 / 1 / 11! Hope that everyone has had a lovely year and best wishes for an even better one. Happy blogging!
