My New Room!!

Morning everyone,

I just wanted to show you some pictures of my new room,

as you may know I spent last Sunday in Ikea looking for

inspiration and fresh ideas! Et voila.....

So, what do you think?? 

There's still so much more to do! 

Today, I went to Crystal Palace, a place full of

vintage clothes, vinyl and weird stuff! 

Unfortunately, I didn't find anything but I'll be

back there very soon.

Have a lovely evening - tomorrow I might be going to the 

Wildlife Photographer  of the Year exhibition at the 

Natural History Museum!

Forever yours,

Poppy Valentine x

The Weekend

Hello All! 

How was your weekend, hopefully the weather didn't ruin

it for you? 

On Sunday, I had an awesome day with two of 

my friends at The Breakfast Club in Battersea! 

We got sat in this cosy little wood - paneled corner

where they had loads of old washing machines filled 

with disco lights - it was super cool! 

And the PANCAKES!! Whoa, were they good!

If you haven't been already, I encourage you to 

go immediately! Sadly, you do have to queue outside for

a bit but it's well worth it. 

Here is the link for The Breakfast Club

Another thing I did over the weekend was create 

a collage of my favourite black and white photos (my 

latest obsession!)

Here are a few of the best:

"War is Hell"

James Dean in New York

Hippie Woman

Girl Smoking

I love all this old photography because it's so unique! 

How often do you come across a modern day photo of

a topless hippie, smoking, on the shoulders of

a guy at a festival?!

Anyway, I'll see you at my next post!

From,

Awesome Idea #3

Evening All,

Just found this cool little article:

How to order a Butterbeer from Starbucks!

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, 

Poppy Valentine x

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, 

Poppy Valentine x

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.

So, have a lovely, relaxing evening, and I'll

speak to you tomorrow.
