If I Could Pick Any Song......

It would be......

Stay High (Habits Remix)

By 

Tove Lo ft. Hippie Sabotage

Bio: Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, aka Tove Lo,

is a Swedish pop singer-songwriter as well as musician.

At 26, she has released her first EP 'Truth Serum'

and has written songs for many artists including

Icona Pop. The Stay High habits remix charted at

number 6 in the UK. 

I was recommended this song by a friend and at

first I wasn't sure about it. But after hearing it for 

the second time, I ironically became addicted.

It starts with an intriguingly repetitive

'Oh-oh' and after 15 seconds launches into an intense

beat. The lyrics are remixed to repeat and bounce around

the inside of your head - truly amazing stuff!

Tove Lo sings with desperation at needing

'something to numb the pain'. 

You can feel the hurt.

There's also the original version which is just as good but

has a slower tempo and smaller beat although the lyrics are 

just as smart and quirky (I eat my dinner in my bathtub/

then I go to sex clubs)

Crazy, I know!

Have a good evening,

A Song for the Weekend...

Hey Everyone,

I'm so glad it's finally the weekend! I'm

very excited because on Sunday I will be going to 

The Breakfast Club cafe with a few of my friends.

I've never been before but I have heard that 

their breakfasts are legendary!!

So hopefully you'll be seeing some photos 

of that soon enough.

But for now, I'd like to tell you about a 

song I have been listening to for the past week 

or so, it's extremely delicate and precious to

me. It tells the story of three generation of men.

Each single for a different purpose based on the 

society they are growing up in. 

And without

further ado, this is "Blood" by The Middle East.

I really hope you like it! 

Until tomorrow,

Minimalism

 Morning Everyone,

I know I haven't posted in eons but this is going to be a fresh start!

This Autumn, I'm looking at Minimalism; making basic and bright pieces of 

clothing into something spectacular! 

Here is a collection of my favourite Autumn items:

A gorgeous statement  Eagle necklace -  €5.00 

Burgundy Brown Workman Sole Boots - £100 Office

Red Heavy Knit Jumper - €8.00 Sale Zara 

My Autumn Makeup Selection 

For a trendy little Autumn outfit: try a heavy knit jumper + denim shorts + black over the knee socks 

+ a black beanie = Basic Beautiful!

Autumn is one of my favourite fashion seasons, it's full of splashes of colour, elegant dresses, glamorous jackets and coats and incredibly daring makeup! Speaking of which, this Autumn's biggest trend is going to be pencilled eyebrows and plum lipstick.

Next Week, I'll be telling you all about the new Tartan Trend! 

Love,

Summer is here!

Hi Peeps, 

Wow, some serious blog neglect has gone down 

but I promise to make it 

up to you! 

So much has happened to me since my last post, I've spoken

 to a blogging  legend; Ophelia Horton,  been to New York AND had a  rather big shopping spree. I've been on 

a bit of a lucky streak at the moment 

but it's due to run out 

anytime soon! 

My latest obsession is with White. Anything white will put a smile on my face, although people say it's not a very 

flattering colour I think you'd be surprised! 

One of my latest purchases was a white lace dress 

from Forever 21 - which is absolutely fantastic! 

I would recommend Forever 21 to anyone who is

looking for quality clothing at a purse - nursing price. 

So go on - dare yourself! 

Here are some photos taken by Desire Ageymang: 

Summer is the perfect time for fashion, the days look fabulous and so should you! So why not try something new? A bright red maxi skirt or a pretty little peplum top?! 

You'd be surprised at what you find! 

On to Cosmetics.....

I recently bought some new cosmetics which are perfect for a quick refresh in the summer heat, try Batiste for a quick hair wash and Barry M nail varnish in Lemon

 Ice Cream to awaken any outfit! 

Well, I hope you get some inspiration! 

We'll speak soon!
