Unfairness

My topic today is prom. In Scotland, or at least, in my school we don't have homecoming or proms. We do have a formal but that is only for the sixth years-F.Y.I the people in their last year leaving school- anyhow I am very jealous of Americans and whoever else has dances at their schools. Watching teen movies where these girls spend weeks on end picking out their perfect dresses and the perfect shoes and the perfect bag and having the perfect hairstyle and in general to have the perfect prom make me desperately want one for myself so I too can pick out all the perfect things. A night they will "never forget" is how prom is described. 

A while ago I watched this film called Prom featuring Aimee Teegarden and she plans prom all by herself after all the other members of the committee drop out and this rebel guy has to help her out. GUESS WHAT? *SHE FALLS FOR HIM!* Anyway, I really liked the film even though it was a Disney one. It did look magical, the prom I mean. The main character also had a really pretty dress... 

I also watched Pretty In Pink with my mum recently and it made me want to possess to ability to sew and make my own clothes. Molly Ringwald as the leader of the "brat-pack" took apart somebody else's prom dress and made it her own as pictured above.  I now adore 80's films and want to watch every teen movie made in the decade out there. I thought I would add a couple of photographs of prom dresses I would love to wear to my own one. Obviously I like the strapless/bright-coloured/pastel/sequiny ones. Although I wouldn't normally go for all the glitter and stuff I must admit you need a little bit of sparkle on your prom dress after all, it is a "night to remember"...

I want to make sure I fairly credit everyone for their pictures so prom poster, molly ringwald, green dress, gold dress, girls in dresses

Keep wishing,

Spring Cycles

On the magical and mystical world of tumblr there have recently been many a picture of girls cycling on their totally retro bikes. I personally am envious of them all because my mum and I share our bike and it isn't set for my height so I feel like a hunchback. I wanted one for my birthday a couple of years ago but apparently it wasn't the best idea so I was told I should "think of something else"... I really do like cycling and it is a very good thing to do. Very healthy. I don't know what part of your body it does any good to but I presume it some of the muscles in your legs.?  I have included some photographs from We Heart It. Most of the bikes in the pictures are those ones that I really like. I know that one brand is called Electra Bikes but I'm unsure about the rest of them. :D sorry about that...

Peace & Love,

Notebooks

I thought I'd take some pictures of the pictures I had stuck into a little notebook and write things down beside them. Some may call it a journal but I'm not calling mine that. It's just cute to look at and find out what you were thinking at that specific point in time. As you can see I even did some work for my art project on kettles. :) The last picture is a drawing of a dandelion seed thing flying over a city if you couldn't figure that out. It's just kind of like a personal blog that nobody gets to see apart from now.

All photographs taken by myself.
