Coeur de Pirate - Comme des enfants

When a lack of a summer job for the first time in four years and thus, an overspill of empty hours threatens to haunt me, I do what any self-respecting girl would do; go shopping. Recently, jewellery seems to be my Achilles heel and I’ve obtained numerous necklaces and a few rings, all from Topshop. The necklaces are delicate, on short chains and can be layered to encircle my neck in pretty golden rings.

Two were bought in the sale for a mere £2 each (the “B” and the tiny glass ball, but ignore the ugly neon chain, I’m going to slip the B onto a simple gold one asap).

My skull necklace was £5 – reasonable for Topshop, though I’ve had to transfer it onto another chain because my 1st one broke AND so did the replacement!

I also ADORE my ring, as it was also only £2 (though it does make my finger a wee bit green).

Does anyone have any recommendations of cutesy jewellery shops? I’m on a glitzy roll! I want rings, necklaces, earrings, cuffs, anklets – THE LOT!

Beyonce - If I Were a Boy

decidedly bored whilst lounging in the south of France (where else would i be spending my summer daaahling?), claire and i thought we would pass our time festooning our nails with the print of the cutest of big cats; leopard! this look is easily achieved with a base coat, two of your favourite nail varnishes, liquid eyeliner, a top coat, steady hands AND a boxset of series three of Gilmore Girls.

method
1. paint your nails with the base colour coat (nudey lilac)
2. using an opened out bobby pin, put slightly linear blobs on your nails (gold)
3. then, take your liquid eyeliner (any one will do) and carefully encircle your linear blobs, leaving a tiny gap so it’s not quite an enclosed circle. you’re aiming for an ‘o’ which never quite manages to kiss. an overeager ‘c’ if you will.
4. and just simply pop on a top coat and wait to fully dry – this is where Gilmore girls comes in handy!

i’m having a glorious time with my best friend, we’re filling our days with sand, sunbathing, workouts and our nights with Lorelai and Rory, apertifs (Francais for pre-dinner drinks don’tcha know) and plenty of French cheese. and we’re only sneaking to the café to use the internet every few days, so the internet’s imaginary claws are only loosely grasped round our wrists. 

Britney Spears - Everytime

exams and all the viciously quickening dark, downward spirals which often partner hand in hand, force me to find refuge in happier memories. these photos encapsulate two; visting my best friend in the world (Claire at little love) and nutella. global disasters could be solved and world peace obtained with jars of this gorgeous hazelnut spread, i swear!

i'm currently sitting in the library, at 3.59am, in the midst of a futile attempt to cram as much information regarding Russia since 1856, into my poor, information-battered head. it's not going well. only one more exam to go after this one!
