Got this blouse for a tenner off the Urban Outfitters website - I love it!

So last week and this week has been comprised of writing out my Macbeth essay (English coursework) and trying to work on my Art coursework. I've been pretty stressed out hence the lack of posting! I did go out on Saturday for one of my best friend's birthday - we went to the cinemas to see Chalet Girl, which I absolutely loved. It wasn't your typical romance, it was so funny and emotive, so yeah :-) Then we went out to eat and had a sleepover! Overall, it was a good weekend and now I have less than 2 weeks until the Easter holidays, where I get 2 weeks off school! Can't wait as I plan on chilling out lots and planning things with friends - as well as some revision which really needs to be done!

Anyway, I hope the rest of you are having a great week, it's dragging on, but April 1st on Friday! I'd best get on to some more artwork, etc. Have a great week - happy blogging! :-)

P.S. The post of this song is 'Where We Belong' by Lostprophets. I heard this in Chalet Girl when I watched it on Saturday and it seriously reignited my old love for Lostprophets.

I'm absolutely loving the weather that we've been experiencing lately. It's so nice and sunny, something extremely hard to come by here in England. Even though I don't relish the idea of losing an hour of sleep at the weekend, I can't wait for longer days and shorter nights! Anyway, life has gotten so stressful lately and I guess it's just because of deadlines and coursework and exams in May! Other than that though, I'm quite happy and content. Once I get my mountain of work out of the way, I'm sure I'll be up to enjoying the weather a bit more and actually venturing outside, haha :-)

Going to see Chalet Girl on Saturday and out for a meal as it's one of my best friend's birthday and then we're all having a sleepover. Already planning to do lots over the Easter holidays too. Then I have loads of revision to do before my exams in May and June. Also, forgot to say that I'm going to see Taking Back Sunday and Mayday Parade in May - I am so incredibly excited, it's unreal :-) I hope you're all having a fantastic week, happy blogging!

P.S. Remember my Marc by Marc Jacobs dress? Adrianna from 90210 was wearing it in the latest episode (when she's being interviewed on the TV show about stealing Javier's songs!)
P.P.S. The title of this post is The Recluse by the band, Cursive, who are great great great. Give them a listen!

Drawing Natalie Suarez

So I decided to completely scrap the idea of changing my blog title. I dunno, I've just gotten so used to 'Chloe In Reality' and I still really like it. I don't really want to change my URL due to the hassle of redirecting my followers and stuff. So I suppose 'Chloe In Reality' is staying and even though my URL is different to the blog title (www.chloeinfinite.blogspot.com), I guess it does still work. What do you think? :-)

Anyway, I've been doing some more drawing and I decided to draw Natalie Suarez from Natalie off Duty. I love reading her blog, she takes the most beautiful photos and wears the most beautiful clothes. I had a go at drawing her in one of her many stylish outfits. I hope you like it! :-)

Aside from drawing, this weekend has been pretty chilled. Watched Red Nose Day last night and I couldn't help crying. We donated £50 to Red Nose Day and it felt great to do our part. I've been relishing the lovely sun and blue skies today, it's been amazing. I'm gonna do some housework, chillax and try to work on my final draft Macbeth essay. Hope the rest of your weekends are going well. Happy blogging! :-)

Greetings! So I'm thinking of maybe changing my blog around a bit, maybe change the title to something related to my URL (www.chloeinfinite.blogspot.com) because when I first chose that, I always had the idea of me and my words being stuck in the World Wide Web for infinity. I feel like a bit of a change and incorporating those ideas into a new blog name. Something like 'Chloe, Infinite' or perhaps 'Chloe's Infinity'. I'm a bit stuck on ideas, but those two seem the best. Also thinking of changing my header picture too. Or maybe I should just keep things as they are?

Any ideas?
They'll be gratefully received!

Also, the above photos are just of what I was wearing when I went out on Sunday with some family friends. The weather was so lovely and the sun was shining so brightly so I decided to brave the temperature and go bare-legged (which I haven't done since the summer!) We went to Caffe Nero for some lunch and it was just a really lovely day.

Anyway, yes, please let me know about what I can do to renovate and improve my blog. Any comments, good or bad, are welcome and I would really like to start blogging properly now, with proper features, reviews, etc. So yeah, please advise me on what I should talk about! Hope you're all having a lovely week and happy blogging! :-)

P.S. I'm sure that everyone is aware of the situation in Japan. My aunty lives there with her husband
, but fortunately she is in Hawaii and due to fly to Hong Kong soon. All my thoughts are with the people in Japan and I really hope that things get better soon. I'm starting some charity work with my mum's friend and we're going to start fund-raising for Japan. Please click here to donate to the Red Cross's appeal for Japan.

Cute Without The E

Hi guys and gals! So I've finished my mock exams in Maths and English. I got my Maths results back too and got a 94% in Non-Calculator and 100% in Calculator, which I was pretty pleased with! I haven't had my English results back yet, but hopefully they've been okay too.
Anyway, aside from school stuff, I've been reading lots of books and I went out the other week with some mates and bought a few good things.

Good old Starbucks

Favourite drink: Iced caramel macchiato!

Perusing the shelves of Waterstone's is my favourite pastime

Finally got around to getting Elle with Keira Knightley. I finished One Day as well, finally, and it was so amazing and I cried at the end, it was so emotional and lovely. Loved it!
Photobucket
My new pencil case from Paperchase (since my old one was falling to bits after I have had it for 5 years!) as well as The Great Gatsby, for a mere 2 pounds from Waterstone's. Finally, a complete bargain of a top which I got for £4.95 from Acorns, originally from Zara.

I love my best friends and my sister!

So as you can see, all in all, things have been going brilliantly lately! I'm just gonna try and do a lot of Art coursework this weekend, listen to loooaaaads of Mayday Parade (booked tickets to see them in May with some mates, so psyched!) I'm also thinking of getting tickets to see Taking Back Sunday, although they're playing around the time of my exams, which is a bit annoying, but they're like my favourite band ever. However, my mum just paid for Mayday Parade for me and it seems so cheeky to just ask to go to Taking Back Sunday too, but maybe if I start tutoring more, then hopefully I can pay her back easily! I hate it when money gets in the way of everything!

Anyway, just a random little rant, I really am so excited to see Mayday Parade. I also really wanna see Bright Eyes too, cause Conor Oberst is such a dude, but yeah. Anywho, I am going to enjoy the rest of the night by listening to loads of music, chill and eat food. Hope you all have a lovely weekend! Happy blogging! :-)

Cute Without The E is one of my favourite songs by Taking Back Sunday. Thought it'd be relevant haha. Check it out if you've never heard of it, it is honestly brilliant. I love singing along to it whenever I can and even though I've been listening to this for years (back in the day when I had a rocker phase when I was like ten) and it never ever gets old!

Lists

Hi! I'm off to do my Duke of Edinburgh practice tomorrow, so I shall be freezing my legs off in a field somewhere. It'll be a fun time with friends though, I should imagine. Anyway, I just wanted to show you some lists that I was writing. I dunno what prompted it or whatever, but hopefully others can relate to them or whatever. :-)

Hope the rest of you are all having a lovely week! Short and sweet today as I probably should be getting to sleep now. Happy blogging!
