So... I do YOUTUBE now!

Good evening guys and gals!

I'm very sorry for my absence, and my blog is often in the midst of life, but I am doing some videos on Youtube now (soon to get a new camera for my birthday I hope) and I hope you can watch and enjoy.

It's a channel about fashion mainly and whatever takes my fancy, and I hope to be doing a thrift (or charity shop) haul very soon, and possibly a video on preparing for university.

UPDATE

So I got my A Level results (ABC - gotta love the alphabet) and will be going to my Uni of choice (Chichester) in September!! I'm so excited and at this present time am attempting to read Great Expectations (Charles Dickens), Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte) and Goblin Market (Christina Rossetti) before I go on the 19th. Wish me luck! I'm a fairly average reader but I am really enjoying Great Expectations.
I also bought a book called The Phantom Lobster (which made me giggle) and I hope to read that soon, as well as some lit theory books and a few of George Orwell's essays.

Anyway, enjoy the videos and I hope to post again soon.

Thanks for reading/watching,

Sunday Photo #2 - Jaeger

Happy Sunday everyone! I do love a good Sunday. I've been at church and for today's photo I have a photo I found on my dad's SD card from ages ago. Also I'm very sorry for the lack of blog posts this week, school is getting  hectic and I'm exhausted! Honestly, my life is so dull, it's school and sleep. I seriously need to get a more interesting life so I have more stuff to blog about... But I do have an exciting project in church coming up, as we're doing a local mission project hopefully in the hospital. I'm really excited!! It should be excellent. Anyway, here's the photo~

It's vintage-Jaeger-shirt-time!

 

Yep, that's Sunday's post done, and I get back to all the important stuff I have to do...

 

SLEEP!

 

Take care,

Introducing: Fleur the gecko

Morning all! Happy Thursday, and today I will be writing about my newest pet (and my favourite, though I know we shouldn't have favourites - okay, my favourite reptile, is that better?): Fleur!

Fleur is a leopard gecko, 7 years old and once belonged to my boyfriend (he had 2 geckos and Fleurie was bullying the other, April, so they had to be separated). She is the only gecko (her species, not her specifically) not to have sticky pads on her feet and to actually have eyelids, and she eats live crickets which I feed to her (carefully, as I find them disgusting) with a pair of tongs.

They're fairly easy to keep and if you'd like a post on how to keep geckos and vivariums and so on, please comment below. She's awfully cute, isn't she?

Do you have any pets? Would you keep a gecko?

Thanks for reading <3

Sunday Photo #1 - Legend

Happy Sunday everyone! So I'm just going about my Sunday life - church and a roast. Oh, how I love sundays! I do enjoy a good roast chicken (which I had today) and shortly I will be baking cookies and going back to church for the evening service. Woo! So just a quick post for today, I've decided to do a photo of something or other every Sunday. So here's today's photo~

Dress and jumper are from Topshop and there are the infamous silver Vans!

 

Have a happy Sunday!

Street Style Fashspiration January '14

Good day everyone! I hope you're all well, I'm very well thank you. I've really been enjoying Tumblr recently and here is a selection of my favourite images found on my dash. I've  really been wondering what to do with my hair recently - it's greenish but also kinda blonde so I've been thinking maybe I'd tone it with blonde or something, or dye it a pastel colour (though I'd like to avoid dyeing it, since it's pretty wrecked...)

The pink coat trend has also caught my eye recently and I love the pink boyfriend style coat worn in the bottom right hand corner. I also enjoy the make up of the bottom left hand corner. Perhaps I'll try it out and show the results? Let me know if you'd like to see my  lovely face, hehe.

Another trend I've been interested in is the longer coat trend (we all need coats, right? It is winter!) and I found a glorious one in the charity shop the other day (for a mere £5!!!), please look forward to a post featuring that. Interesting tights are another cool trend methinks. Anyway, let me know what you'd like to see featured on this blog~ I hope your 2014 is going well. I went out with my boyfriend and friend today - 'twas very fun and I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow!

Farewell for now,

Louise <3

(p.s. I don't own any of the images and find my tumblr here for the sources!)

My 2014 resolutions! And New Year Round-Up

Happy nearly 2014 everyone!!! What are your new year's resolutions? Here are mine and let's take a look at how last year's resolutions turned out~

Last year's:
1. Keep blogging
Well this one was kinda up and down, due to complications with internet access and general lack of motivation but I'm still blogging and though this blog has had a make-over, it still exists! No one reads it though....
2. Create a wardrobe
I'm actually really happy with this one. I love my current wardrobe and though there are certain things I wish I could add, I'm pretty content - see my wardrobe transition post here. I'll be sorting out my wardrobe and posting some of my favourite pieces very soon (the new year is looking hopeful!)
3. Velvet pieces
Oh my, have I done this! I've bought  dresses, tops and a skirt in velvet and I'm still desperately in love with this trend.
4. Take some risks!
Green hair, bright glasses, neon jeans and furry coats - I've succeeded in this too. Here find my favourite post with my craziest fashion (and purple hair!)
5. Get contacts
I haven't done this one yet, but maybe this year...
6. Read fashion magazines other than Company.
I haven't quite managed this one, though I did buy a copy of Nylon once!

This year's:
1. Be more positive! I try to think positively but I always feel we drag ourselves down. Time to smile and look ahead :D
2. Be healthier (typical I know) - gym and healthier food I think.
3. Grow out my hair - I've vowed not to cut it for the entire of 2014!! I'll let you know how growing out an asymmetric cut goes.
4. Blog more (this one speaks for itself).
5. Go to university!

Now~ here's my favourite photo from this year:


Thanks for your support this year and though there are few of you, I hope you have a wonderful new year and your resolutions pan out well.

Thanks~

What is the WIFI password?

Morning all! I had a fabulous Christmas and I hope yours was lovely~

So for Christmas I got this awesome jumper and I just had to show it off. I hope you enjoy and please find some Christmas photos at the end of this post. It's from a website called Zazzle which offers customizable clothing and accessories! I'm not affiliated but it really interested me and I just love this slogan. I feel like I can go up to someone somewhere, point at my jumper and know all I need to know (I'm such an internet addict!). I also got the silver Vans for Christmas and they're totally my favourite present - they look kinda space-age to me... hehe

So what exactly is the WIFI password...?

Jumper: Zazzle

Jeans: Miss Selfridge

Shoes: Vans

My dresser all decorated with holly and little birds~

 

All decked out for Christmas dinner!

 

I hope you all had a lovely festive time and I'm off for now.

 

Thanks for reading,
