Helplessness Blues

I've been incredibly lazy with blogging, so I just wanted to share some lovely photos with you. I can't wait to be all grown up and living in a lovely flat with high ceilings, white walls, cornicing, fireplace, period features, lovely floorboards and big shelves for lots and lots and lots of books. That would be the life.

Anyway, if you haven't already noticed, I've been lacking ever so slightly in the inspiration department, especially since chool has been as busy as ever. I'm going to leave it short and sweet today as I don't want to bore you with the uninteresting details of my life.

Hope that you're all well and that your week is going distinctly better than mine. Au revoir.

N.Y. State of Mind

Bonjour! I hope you have all been well this week! Another week of school gone, another week closer to the Christmas holidays. I can't wait to go down to London again for a fun few days in the run up to Christmas. Here are just a few photos from the other week in the Zara changing rooms. Please excuse the vanity, I just love playing around with effects on Picnik.com.

It has been perfect polo neck weather lately. I have always loved jumpers, my favourite being the Ralph Lauren cable knit that I got from America in Summer 2010. It has been surgically attached to my body ever since. However, I find that the jumpers from Zara are also really lovely, great quality and inexpensive too (I have a few V neck jumpers which only cost about £9 or £10 and I've worn them loads of times). Polo neck and cowl neck jumpers are sooo perfect for the cold winter, especially as I always seem to misplace my scarves.

I'm off for a night of listening to Florence + The Machine's new album and television of the frontal-lobe-damaging variety. Rustling up some apple pie and cream also seems to be on the agenda which suits me just fine. Hope that you're all well and good. Happy blogging!

There is nothing like listening to some Nas whilst exercising. I've always listened to people like Jay-Z and other popular rap, but recently gotten into Nas and Wu-Tang Clan. I never thought I'd really be into this genre of music, but let's just say I've been enlightened.

1234

My first post of November! Again, blogging seems to have reverted back to the once-a-week routine, most often at weekends when I actually have time to write. I'm back at school once again (went back on Wednesday) and now have to write my application for Sixth Form and choose my A-levels, which seems incredibly life-changing and important and a little bit scary.

I think I have my options finalised now though: Maths, Further Maths, Economics, Chemistry and Latin! Eeeek, I feel as if I'm finally growing up.

Anyway, here are just a few photos from last week where my social life didn't resemble that of a stick insect's:

My favourite hobby seems to be treating Waterstones like a library, spending hours at a time in my usual seat there.

Getting down to a game of Just Dance. One word: hilarious.

Great book. Highly recommended.

Ed's Diner in Selfridges! Loved the 60s style American music, jukeboxes, etc.

Who else is loving the weather lately? It's cold, but not too cold and even though the days are short and the nights are long, I can't help but smile when I see browning leaves on the trees. I like wrapping up in my scarf and coat and walking around with those leaves crunching under my feet. I love Autumn, everything just seems more beautiful in the dim sunlight. And it's not long until Christmas (and my 16th birthday in January!) This term will be busy in the run up to the holidays, but I'm ready for it. And life just seems a little easier with a cup of tea and ginger biscuits to warm myself up.

I hope you're all well and enjoying the weekend (which seems to have finished before it's even started). Happy blogging :-)
