Awesome Idea #3

Evening All,

Just found this cool little article:




This looks really cool but I'm not sure how willing
 I am to try it!
And it definitely won't be as cheap as those that 
you can find in Harry Potter. 

Let me know if you order one - I'd love to see 
what happens!  

Your truly,

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,

This Week......

Hi Guys,

I hope your week has been good so far, I bet
you're looking forward to the weekend already?!

This post is about my week so far. First, who's
excited for new The Fault In Our Stars movie??
I say this because today, John Green has 
released the official trailer! 
Here it is!

Next, I have found this amazing (and I mean 
AMAZING) artist called MØ. She's one of 
the coolest pop stars around, originally from 
Denmark this super trendy girl is a singer and 
song writer releasing her debut single. 
And this is it; "Don't Wanna Dance"


I have recently started the book Divergent (yes, I know I'm behind the trend!), which is really good so far. 
In case you don't know, here is an extract of the 
description for the book by Veronica Roth, 
the author of the series: 
In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), 
Dauntless  (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). 
On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to 
which they will  devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between 
staying with her  family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. 
So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

Lastly, you can now: 


So, have a lovely, relaxing evening, and I'll
speak to you tomorrow.
Love, Poppy Valentine x

New and Upcoming Artists #FourFavourites

                                               
NEW UPCOMING ARTISTS:


These are my top artist discoveries of the year (so far), 
take a look:

Banks
This singer has a soft, R&B inspired voice, 
if you enjoy Lorde and Lana Del Ray, then this 
is definitely one for you. As well as having a 
stunning voice, she has also featured on many 
magazine front pages for her dark, mystical 
beauty. This is her new song "Waiting Game".




Amber Run
This band are relatively new and unheard 
of, I found them a few months back with their 
song "Noah". Their music is filled with harmonies, 
soaring choruses and preppy beats. For the lovers
of Mumford & Sons,I guarantee you'll love them! 
This is their new single "Heaven".



Warpaint
Warpaint are an emerging band that are
lined up to play all the big festivals this
year (including Coachella!). This all girl
Indie Rock band are releasing their self-titled 
second album this year. So, here is their latest 
single "Love is to Die".



Luke Sital-Singh
He is an absolute star; Luke Sital-Singh 
has been compared to the likes of Ben Howard
and Jeff Buckley. His songs are filled with
slow melodies, beautiful lyrics and delicate 
notes. He is one to watch in the new year! 



Please take a look at all these amazing artists, 
you might find one you like? 

Have a lovely weekend!

Until the next post,

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, 
Poppy Valentine x

Here comes the sun.....



Well, well, well what do we have here?

It seems that the Sun has finally arrived!!!
Today, my post is all about the Perks of Summer,
 including top Reads, Styles and Tunes. 

To Start, try The Perks Of Being A Wallflower for a 
beautiful story that will change you forever.
 Or how about To Kill A Mocking bird for a classic 
story about truth?

This summer, I will most definitely be listening to Icona Pops's "I love it"! It's one of my favourite songs this year!
 I have also discovered Tom Odell, an amazing piano 
 playing artist. (I have added my favourite 
song of his; "Another Love". Enjoy!)

I'm trying to keep my summer style (as well as my make - up) fresh and breezy, adding a slight touch of toughness. Perhaps, a flowing white summer dress with a black leather jacket and chunky metallic eagle necklace. I like to call this style Preppy Grunge.

I wish you an amazing Summer!
