Jumping pictures!




Here are just a few pictures from the other day when I spent the day with my friends when the weather was really lovely.

I spent most of today chilling out and revelling in the national Bank Holiday. Whilst I am by no means a die-hard Royalist, nor am I a Republican, I really enjoyed watching the wedding between William and Kate Middleton. She looked absolutely beautiful and her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress was stunning. The Chantilly lace was so lovely and the entire design was so understated, yet elegant - timeless, yet entirely chic too. Will looked really nervous and Kate looked so calm and serene, despite today being probably one of the most nerve-wracking days of her life.

I love weddings and it was nice to have pretty much the majority of Britain united to celebrate William's and Kate's love. It was so lovely when he said "you look beautiful" to her when she arrived at the alter in Westminster Abbey.

Hope the rest of you Britons are enjoying the 4 day weekend, I'm probably gonna spend a lot of it revising for my exams which start in just over 2 weeks, eeeek. Have a lovely weekend! Happy blogging :-)

Everything Must Go

1) Lovely steak pie that I had the other day, it was absolutely delicious and so cute, I thought I'd just share that with you ;-) Doesn't it look yummy?
2) My lovely No. 7 nail colour, I love the chocolatey-brown. The only bad thing is that it chips quite easily, which I didn't really expect from No. 7. Lovely colour, nevertheless!
3) My Taking Back Sunday tickets arrived and I am so incredibly excited to see them live on May 10th. I've been listening to them since I was about 10 and I really can't wait.

Ahhh last day of Easter holidays tomorrow and I'm going out for some shopping and then dinner and dessert with sister, mother and a friend which should be lovely. I'm not looking forward to the multitude of exams to come, but summer is certainly on the horizon and I can't wait! Hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend, enjoy the long bank holiday! :-)

Here are just two sketches that I did recently: I feel as if I've really kind of progressed in my drawing ability and hopefully this can be seen in my drawings! The first is Keira Knightley (source img) and the second is Emma Watson pre-haircut (source img). The scales are completely inaccurate, but I quite liked adapting the scale and borders and changing some things around to make it my own!

Had an absolutely wonderful day yesterday with friends, I'll post some more photos later... And now I'm gonna be spending some time with family today and trying to do some revision. Hope the rest of you are enjoying the sun and have a lovely week. Happy blogging!

Fast Car

So I suppose that my promise to be more consistent with my blogging didn't exactly become a reality. My whole week has been absorbed with revision, reading, eating lots and generally chilling out and not doing a lot, which is probably why I haven't really had much motivation to post anything. I have a few things planned for next week so I will definitely be getting out and about before returning back to the daily grind of school!
These photos are just some really bad-quality ones from this Polandroid app on my sister's phone which is really fun to use - the picture's are usually better, but they just didn't come up so well on my laptop. The first one's just of me in my hand-me-down Mulberry t-shirt, the second is of my Ray Ban sunnies and a brilliant book, the third is one of my favourite Zara shirts to wear in the sun. :-)

I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend! I spent all today watching Ace of Cakes, Bride and Prejudice (such a feel-good film!) and Spiderman (James Franco...). I also wanna show you a few drawings that I've done recently, but I forgot to photograph them. They'll be coming up soon hopefully! Sorry for being so MIA for a while! Happy blogging.

So I've been a bit slow on the blogging front lately, mostly due to coursework deadlines and a general mad rush in the last week of school. But now it's the Easter holidays, so I've generally just been chilling out, enjoying the sun before I have to start revising for the multitude of exams awaiting me in the not-too-distant future.

Not too much to report on, I guess, just slowly getting fed up of school and the monotony of things. I really can't wait for it to be summer right now. Anyway, I've been doing a bit more drawing lately and I've just remembered how much fun it is and how much I love it. I'll post some pictures up soon when I can be bothered.

Here's a barely-there 'outfit' picture and some other random ones that I took recently:

Blouse - Zara (present)
Trousers - Ralph Lauren (USA Outlet, $15)





Easter reading: Nick Hornby always, got High Fidelity for 99p from a charity shop. Still need to finish On The Road and borrowed Invisible Monsters from the school library. Looking forward to reading them all. Note to self: Need to buy Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions and Jean Dominique-Bauby's The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

I have a few things planned for the holidays, hopefully going out this week with some friends and then a barbeque next week and trying to fit in tutoring so that I can earn a bit more money. I'll try and post more regularly over the next couple of weeks too :-) Hope the rest of you are enjoying the rest of your weekend :-) Happy blogging!
