Out on the wiley, windy moors

Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights.

It's windy and cold outside, and we all need a little Kate Bush sometimes..

somehow i'll make a man out you

sorry for the sheer lack of posts recently, guys. it's just so hectic at the moment, first time i've been able to catch up with all things blogs in a while. currently feeling exhausteddd. it's been a very long day! although ... progress has been made! not all is bad. personal statement for university has finally been completed, and i'm not hating it, life is pretty sweettt.

mmm, i do make a nice cup o' tea!

anyway back to singing along to the mulan soundtrack. thanks for sticking around, you lovely lovely people. hope you're all well.

love love love.

a whole lotta precious time

george harrison is making me a very happy chappy!

black&white Mondays

With the price of clothing set to increase I find myself focusing on details, fabrics and fit more than ever, and with winter coming I want nothing more than warmth and comfort. Okay, maybe to look effortlessly cool too, non?

Reality Bites

Ph. here


Another Sunday night, before a very tired awakening to another Monday morning. College work is becoming more stressful as September drudges on and the workload begins to increase. However, a Monday morning starting with coffee with friends? That, I can handle. I hope you've all had good weekends, and if not then maybe brighten up your week with a little dancing a la the scene below from Reality Bites? If you haven't already seen it then I highly recommend it.

draw another breath

loosing all control

after a day filled with endless amounts of work and mindless tele, i feel completely drained. but sitting with a nice big mug of tea listening to some brilliant beach boys is making me feel just fineee

a round up of the week, college starting properly, taking days of college to go look at universities, getting up at insane hours to catch the train, having excellent days out in different cities with amazing people, realising how much you want to go traveling, realising that that sounds incredibly generic, but still wanting to travel so so bad.

oh, Iekeliene.

After the first few fleeting days of college, brightened by my smug I-already-know-my-way-around-the-corridors feeling, I can safely say I'm ready to sleep..forever! Okay, maybe just a few days.. hours? As expected I'm already drowning in homework, found a mini-me from the year below and come to the realisation that my frees are for doing work, not people watching whilst supping a coffee. Though one thing that has been plaguing me is the distinct lack of wintry weather! Anyone who lives in Britain knows that usually, September brings it's best friend, rain. So far, nothing..it's just sun, taunting sun all the time. Hopefully the time will come for the unveiling of coats and warm boots.

In the mean time I think I may just daydream about a makeover of my mini-me a la Clueless, no? Oh, and admire the patterns and whimsical looks of Iekeleine Strange (did i just say WHIMSICAL? okay, enough now.)

i'm the ghost in the back of your head

So this week so far, college has well and truly started, and i must say, i'm rather glad. It's brilliant to see everybody everyday and getting back into studies is strangely refreshing. Anyways, I shant bore you with general school stuff, hope you're having a wonderful start to September.

Also hello to the new followers, and thank you to all of you wonderful people!

that time of year

a few more days and then it's back to the world of academia. oh joy.


i really want to finally get round to doing all the small things i've been wanting to do for so long, but never really have. i want to grow all kind of vegetable and flower plants, all from tiny seeds. i want to finally buy a pair of those brilliant binoculars that allow you to see the moon and stars ever so clearly. and i really really want to become excellent at cooking! i've recently grown to love it, i find it rather soothing; which is completely the oppposite of what i used to find it - hell, that is. i want to get to the stage where you dont have to measure things, and from instinct you know how much herbs or how much flour to put in, or be able to make a dish which is just utterly gorgeous from the little ingredients you have in your fridge! ahhh i feel so excited to learn something new.


anyway, hope you're all enjoying the last week of summer.

let in the sun

behats i would like very much to see you

finally. a productive day has emerged from the seemingly endless days filled with nothing but what can only be described as utter laziness. started reading mao's biography today, which to be fair, isn't half bad. not the most riveting read lets be honest. but nonetheless not bad, not baddd. thinking i maybe should've started earlier considering i have about abother 36219 books to read on china.

oh well, its been brilliant not to have to worry about work. literally brilliant.

but all good things must eventually come to an end. the aforementioned 'brilliance' most certainley has. a huge feeling of what can only be described as horror has more than happily taken its place. results in less than a week, oh jeeeesus; a pretty damn lenghty dissertation on china has to be completed, the list really is endless. oh dear lord why oh why must the summer holidays be so stressful.

if you read this - then i'm sorry for my mini realisation that i'm slowly becoming a failure. hope the calming photos make up. also foals' new album is making the stress subside a little i guess - spanish sahara <3

Wednesday Mornings

These were too adorable not to post. There's a lot of baby talk going on at the moment with two of my Aunt's expecting. It's all so exciting! Already looking for some lovely baby gifts to buy or maybe even make :)

Brilliant days
