My Camden Market Experience/Haul!

So most people are surprised when I have told them that I have never been shopping to Camden Market, but the truth is London is a long way away from me and I have never really got myself organised enough to go, so you can imagine my delight when one of my friends invited me to her 16th birthday party, which was a sleepover and trip to Camden for shopping! So yesterday morning, myself and six others including Georgie’s mum got the train to London and then a bus to Camden Market. I had the most amazing day, I love everything about Camden and the stuff on sale were all things which were right up my street. I had some birthday money so I did buy a few things, but was pretty restrained! My style is very rock/punk/scene with a bit of a girly twist so there was so much there I could have bought but I did just stick to getting a few little things.

The first thing I got, I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it! It’s a large vest with Edward Scissorhands on the front and it’s from a company called YoCoco. I am the biggest Tim Burton fan ever and Edward Scissorhands is one of my all time favourite films/characters. It was £12 but he said I could get 2 for £20 so one of my friends got a different vest making this only a tenner! I think that’s fantastic seeing as something like this would be at least £20 on the high street.


I also got a new hoodie which I have been wanting for ages; I just saw this rail with loads of hoodies for a tenner each! Which again is a really good deal as the ones I have been looking at are at least £25 and I love the design, it’s really cuteJ.

The last two things I got are pretty little, just a bundle of black and red gummy bands for £1.50 I think, I should have got more because I really like them, and a new wallet from this hello kitty stall I found! It was pretty pricey £9 but I love it and couldn’t resist!

The only bad part of the whole trip was the journey home, I won’t go into details but it took 4 hours instead of the possible 1 hour and a half, it was hell but apart from that I had such an amazing day! If you ever get the chance I really recommend you go to Camden Market, even if just for a look!

My 16th Birthday!




So if you follow me on twitter then you will probably know that last weekend I turned sixteen! It’s pretty shocking for me, as I still feel about five years old but anyway, I had a really great day. My birthday party was on the Thursday and my actual birthday was on the Saturday (29th of October btw). For my party, I had 6 friends over and we went to Lazer Quest then out for dinner and a sleepover, it was so much fun, especially as we all wore onesies for the Lazer Quest! Here are a few pictures of us in our onesies and then all dressed up for dinner.

We went to Ask for dinner then came back home to have pink champagne and my birthday cakes, red velvet cupcakes which my mum made for me, it was really lovely! We then danced around like loons and chilled out for the night. I had such a great party and it was lovely to have so many of my friends there so thanks to my friends for coming and for my lovely prezzies :)

Now on my actual birthday, my grandparents and aunt and uncle came down to see us and i had another really great day, it was lovely to see my granny and grandad especially, because for one reason or another we hadnt seen each other since august! Prezzies wise, i got my guitar which is now my baby, i am in love with it and am so grateful for it! I also got some hello kitty headphones and some beautiful doc martens which i have wanted for ages! Im so thankful for everything i got and im so happy. Thankyou for all the birthday wishes!

Until you broke her down

Vest: Great Plains
Jumper: Label Lab
Jeans: Republic
Earing: Clairs

Hey guys, so im back with another OOTD and this one is just for a dinner party i had on Saturday night with my parents friends and their children, who i am friends with. It was a very casual and relaxed evening and i was just recovering from a nasty cold so i wanted to be warm. I wore my new jeans with my mums jumper which looked cute but was comfy too. I had a lovely evening, we ate curry my mum and i cooked, and played music all night, as all of us could either play guitar or sing, or both!

On to my song choice, this song is my obsession at the moment, i simply adore it, its written and performed by two amazingly talented sisters (twins actually) on youtube, Megan&Liz and they wrote it in support of antibullying. Take a listen and watch the video, their so talented!

Im getting quite excited now, its my 16th birthday on Saturday and my party on Thursday! I will fill you all in and provide pictures afterwards dont worry! I hope your all having a good week so far, and if like me you are on half term, i hope your enjoying it!

I've Been Shopping!


Hey guys, sorry i haven't posted in a while, i have taken the pictures etc but i just haven't gotten round to writing the stuff up recently, i have just broken up for half term which is awesome, but i have had work to do so that's why i have been AWOL for a bit.

So this will just be a quick post showing you guys some of the things i brought recently, its not very much but i thought you guys would be interested.
Black Lace Dress: Oasis
Purple Skinny Jeans: Republic
I have been looking for a black lace skater dress for ages, and every time i find one, its always VERY short as im pretty tall. I found this one in oasis and it falls to a bit above the knee, which is perfect! It was £50 but with a voucher and discount stuff we had i got it for £20 which is awesome. Its so pretty and i love it.

I found these plum skinny jeans in Republic and fell in love with the colour, as purple is my favorite colour and i thought these would be perfect for autumn/winter!
Sorry for the small pictures! The first jewellery item is this BEAUTIFUL locket, it has a P on the front (for Paramore :D) and on the back it says You Are the Only Exception. I love this locket because it sums up how much Paramore mean to me, i wear it everyday.

The earrings i got from Claires, as i had a gift voucher, their super cute and perfect for autumn/winter :)

I hope you enjoyed this quick post, il be posting more soon!

So onto whats inside it, this is what i took this weekend, when i went to the Isle of Wight to visit my grandparents, but i take practically the same stuff whenever i go away, with a few exceptions
.
- Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
- Liz Earle Skin Tonic
- Liz Earl Skin Repair Light

Im on the edge.

This will be a different blog post today, i am writing this to commemorate two people who lost their lives last week. The first, Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14 year old boy who killed himself because of the bullying he had been through. All because he was gay. Jamey was on twitter and though i didn't personally know him, it cut me to the core that he was driven to such extremes because of what other children said and did to him. Because of his action, a project has been launched called the Paws Up Forever Project, as Jamey was a Lady Gaga fan. It is to help make bullying illegal. The video on youtube reduced me to tears, watch it! We need to make bullying illegal. We need to do it for Jamey. RIP Jamey.


Now the other death is under completely different circumstances. Troy Davis, a man on death row for the murder of an off duty policeman was executed in the early hours of Thursday morning, in Georgia. There was a significant lack of evidence, for example no DNA evidence, no weapon was ever found (the murder happened in 1989) and 7 of the 9 witnesses who said that they saw Troy pull the trigger, have taken back their statements. I believe he was innocent, and even if he was guilty, i strongly oppose the death penalty. I have been campaigning for Troy for a while now, at the Amnesty International meetings at school, we must not let Troy's death be in vain, we must end the death penalty. For more information, got to the Amnesty International website and together we can end this terrible form of punishment.

Thankyou for reading this post, i will keep Jamey and Troy in my heart forever, and i hope you do too. Rest in Peace Jamey Rodemeyer and Troy Davis <3

In the mourning il let you die

Top: Great Plains
Trousers: French Connection
Belt: Vintage
Jacket: TK MAXX

I went out for dinner with my parents last night, just for a pizza and this is what i wore. I know its practically the same as the outfit last night, all i did was change the jacket and top, but i love wearing this so i wore it again :). I love this top, i got it in the sales last christmas, its a beautiful teal/blue colour with gold chains, but its very heavy so i have to be careful! Ive got a bit of work to do, mostly just some photography for art and a bit of english, school again tomorrow though, im getting back into a pattern but its still not a nice thought. I hope your all having a lovely weekend! This song is one of Paramores newest, they performed it at the Fueled By Ramen 15th Anniversary show with a cover of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. Its beautiful, as is Hayley! The lovely Taylor York is on acoustic guitar in the video too ( ILOVEHIM) and unfortunately Jeremy is not in the video, but im sure he was there somewhere during the song! ENJOY :) <3
