So What If I Wish I Was A Rockstar Who Plays A Banjo And Wears A Bow Tie

Yes, the title is a real dream of mine, but for it to be complete I'd have to be a dude, and to be honest, I'm not very comfortable with that, so for now it will remain as just a dream.....

Anyways, I would like to introduce everyone to a singer/songwriter who is really talented and just generally cool! So, the artist I would like to introduce you all to is called Robbie Boyd. Google him if you want, because his songs are really cool. He sings with an english accent, and his lyrics are amazing. My favourite song is probably Never Never Land, purely because the song is about

Peter Pan! Below are some of his lyrics:

I just want to fly Rings around the moon - Amsterdam

Hearts melt Orion's Belt is always round the corner - Orion's Belt

Your heart of gold has turned Cold with war - Red Queen

I painted your face with the sun And melted your lips with jasper - Dreams of Amber

Grow back your wings And learn to fly
Never never land never gonna be a so called man - Never Never Land
Clocks ticking quickly Underneath the sky

And I'll hold my breath Waiting for your touch And I'm on my knees So baby won't you breathe with me Cause I'm tripping over love - Tripping Over Love

And now to finish, here is an Easter Playlist which I have gradually added to these past days:

Shooting Star - Air Traffic

The Bakery (acoustic version) - Arctic Monkeys

Strawberry Swing - Coldplay

Kingdom Come - Coldplay

See You Soon - Coldplay

Stylo - Gorillaz

Seaside - The Koooks

California Dreaming - The Mamas & The Papas

Hold On To What You Believe - Mumford & Sons

Rocks and Daggers - Noah & The Whale

These Streets - Paolo Nutini

Candy - Paolo Nutini

She Said - Plan B

Orion's Belt - Robbie Boyd

Never Never Land - Robbie Boyd

Magazine Fantasies

Today, I went up to Oxford St with my dad, as we didn't know what else to do. Instead of walking along the whole road, which was ridiculously crowded, we turned off and went down Bond St and all the other little roads near that which I don't know the names of. We only went into Selfridges and Vivienne Westwood. Vivienne Westwood's shop was so beautiful. When we walked past I stopped in the middle of the road and spent about five minutes just staring at the dresses in the window. I was about to walk off when my dad started walking in. Normally, I wouldn't go in a designer shop because I find them slightly intimidating, but the clothes were too pretty. Usually, when I see designer clothes when shopping with my mum, she dosen't let me touch them but my dad did! I could of spent my whole day just stroking the silky lining of that coat....

But the best bit was actually in the magazine section of Selfridges. It is the place to go if you want magazines, because next to the shelves of magazines, they have a copy of almost every magazine out so you can flick through it and even read it if you so choose! Whilst flicking through these magazines, I came across one which I'd never heard of before. It's called 125 and it is 75% editorials and there are hardly any ads and stuff. Here are some pictures from the shoots:

ANTM

I was ill today, so I spent the day watching disney channel, market kitchen, ANTM (America's Next Top Model) re-runs, and MTV. I actually ended up getting really annoyed at MTV, because all the music was just mindless mainstream stuff, and they just kept on repeating about ten songs over and over again! So, I decided to google previous ANTM contestants to pass my time. I was so bored, I ended up making "collages" of them.

Lauren Brie Harding: I didn't actually like her during her cycle and I thought she was really ugly, but I don't think that anymore!

Katarzyna Dolinska: Her cycle was so pointless. Whitney was such a token jesture winner.....

Erin Wagner: I hated her attitude, but I think she was so pretty and her photos were stunning

Cycle 11: I thought they had some really gorgeous girls in this series, but I didn't actually like any of them because they were all really annoying and mean!

Allison Harvard: All I can say is that she should have won... (the piece of art in the top right is not random by the way, she made it)

Nicole Fox: In my opinion she is one of the prettiest girls that has ever been on the show. So what if she's weird and can't walk that well, all of her photos were GORGEOUS!

An Education

My new favourite film = AN EDUCATION. I saw it yesterday and I loved it. Do you know what I mean when I say it actually had me caring about what happens? Because there are those films which you just watch for the sake of watching, and then there are those films which have you crying and laughing and feeling all different emotions. I really liked the whole oldness of it, and I loved the way that 1960s Paris was portrayed. The story by itself wasn't actually that amazing, but when you put everything together like costume and soundtrack it setting it's just really really good. Probably the main reason I did like it so much was the fact that the clothes are so pretty. Every single outfit that Carey Mulligan was wearing I wanted, even though they likelihood of them suiting me would have been slim. But I don't care, I'd just hang them in my wardrobe and stroke them on occasions. Here are some, but to be honest these aren't my favourites, they're just the only ones I can find.....

Stalker

Don't judge me, but on tuesday I had the day off school, as I had a competition thing in the morning and they said don't come back so you know, so my mum and I went to Battersea Park for the afternoon. So whilst enjoying the lovely warm weather I decided to take some stalker photos of people. It was really awkward because I had my mum on lookout whilst I hid behind trees and rocks to get half decent photos. Here are the results:

A Little Late

I know it's a little late, but I feel that I should share the events of my friday afternoon. Basically, there was this half exhibition thing at Liberty and it finished on sunday so my mum asked whether I wanted to go after school. I think you can guess what my reply was, so at about 4 o'clock I was standing with my mother in the busy streets of London looking ahead at the beautiful sight I like to call L. I. B. E. R. T. Y. We probably spent about an hour and a half just browsing. I swear, I could have bought nearly everything I saw. The shoes were like :O, and the clothes were like :D, and even the furniture was like OMG! Then we went back over to Topshop and H&M. Even though I'd set out with the intention of ONLY looking, I ended up buying a pair of tights and some cycling shorts from Topshop, and some dungarees from H&M. I was so happy when I saw the dungarees, I nearly ran across the shop to them. I've wanted some for ages, and now I have them. YAY! Also, at the exhibition, there were some amazing photos. I can't really be bothered to have any pictures, so click on the links if you want to see them. Trust me, you will not regret it!
