So for the bank holiday weekend,me and my friend decided we desperately needed a big shopping trip, so off to London we went! Obviously I had the longest list the world had ever seen, and apart from a new pair of shoes, I managed to get pretty much everything I wanted :-)!
But one of my favorite purchases was the Easy Jean from American Apparel, in black. I have been after a pair of black jeans for ages and these are perfect! I decided to get them from American Apparel as the have got to be one of my favorite clothes shops. Their products are produced in a sweat-shop free way and are always good quality. I see the easy jean as the 'denim-discos' ; by this I mean that they are pretty much the same style and fit as the American Apparel Disco Pants (which I am also lucky enough to own) but denim.
I am completely in love with them! You can dress them up with a cute top and ballerinas/heels or make them more casual with a baggy jumper and converse. They come in 15 different colors, from pale pink to charcoal, so there is one to suit everyone. I really do think that they suit everybody shape, whether you have wide hips or short legs, it really does not matter when is comes to the Easy Jeans.
Get your hands on a pair in store or online at http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/product/?productId=rsams300

1. I have got to be the most indecisive person in history! I can never make my mind up about anything, I couldn't even decide whether to use this as one of my 11 things hahahaa!
2. I go to an all girls school, which I hate! I can't stand it, I just can't wait to get out of it and do something I actually enjoy, rather than being put down for getting an A rather than an A*. But it's fine,because I'm leaving for sixth form, which is less than a year away:-)
3. For the last 2 years ish I have been such a diet freak! I go to the gym every day, but I don't think I've lost any weight in the whole time, I actually think I've gained some hmm..
4. I don't have anyone that I can say 'I've know them my whole life' because as a child I moved around a lot so never really settled down:-(
5. I am SUCH a fangirl! Been obsessed with cody simpson since he posted his first video, love justin bieber, the wanted,boybands etc. But also a few more 'indie' bands like alt-j and the xx, and then rap/hip hop, so I'm obsessed with YMCMB, chris brown etc.
6. It sounds so pathetic but I am so desperate to be skinny! I don't know, however hard I try nothing seems to work, hmm I would seriously do anything, so any suggestions, feel free to comment:-)
7. Favorite food has got to be sushi, omg I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! so like yo sushi is my fave place, but wagamamas aswell
8. I used to be really clever, but then I turned 13 and I don't really know what happened, just kinda gave up on academics and education, bit stupid if I think about it..
9. I would love a career in fashion, something like working in a magazine, just that whole kind of lifestyle, big events, parties, the clothes, just the whole package, living somewhere like New York is the dream
10. Frank Ocean has got to be one of my favorite musicians. I know I've already done one of these about music, but Frank deserves to be on a separate one, his album 'Channel Orange' was like the theme tune for my summer, and it just gets me in such a good mood:-)
11. I have so many clothes, but barely wear any of them, because they look terrible on me! I used to buy so much, but recently I've cut down and become a bit more stingy, but that's all gonna change when I got to london this weekend hahahaa
So, now to answer the questions..
1. What is your favourite song at the moment?
Has to be Bad Religion-Frank Ocean, but there are so many other good ones, I can't even think. But I chose bad religion because it's just such a good song, I just can't even explain! But also Cody Simpson-Awake All Night
2. What is the best day of your life so far?
Errr, tough one, I think it has to be the day my best friend got us backstage at the wanted's radio tour, we were just chilling with them for over 2 hours, and honestly they were the sweetest lads! they were treating us like they'd known us for ages, and just talking to us like normal,&they serenaded us, so I can't complain, oooh the highlight was when one of them flashed us;-)

3. Who do you admire the most?
Don't really know how to answer this, probably people (&celebs) who just get on with their lives and don't care what people say about them behind their backs, who live drama-free lives and are generally happy people with high self esteem, I wish I could be like that, but no matter how much of a tough exterior I put on, it just bothers me so much when people say things about me and I get soooooo paranoid:-)

4. What is your favourite food?

5. Who is your favourite blogger?
Haven't really got a favourite because I only stared doing this recently, but mainly just the ones I follow like 'fashiontoast' and ones like that, basically any to do with fashion,make-up or health!

So with my birthday coming up fairly soon (9th June) I have had quite a few people asking what I want. And to be quite honest, I was stumped. Normally my list is ongoing and never entirely fulfilled, but this year I was clueless. I was bewildered until today. I was out in town today&was rummaging in my bag through a mess of headphones, receipts,a 'company' magazine to find my perfume. I pulled it out only to find that it was empty, my much loved 'Daisy-by Marc Jacobs' was empty. This was when I realised what I wanted for my birthday. Since I got it, 'Daisy' has been sort of my signature scent. It's always on me and I love it. But I've decided to 'mix things up' this year'. So to the Selfridges perfume counters I went, and these are a few of my favorites..
- Chloé eau de parfum
- Dot eau de parfum
- Prada Candy L'Eau eau de toilette
- Gucci Première eau de parfum
- Flirty Alice eau de toilette Vivienne Westwood
- Swarovski Aura of Love eau de toilette
- Dior J'adore Voile de Parfum
- Roberto Cavalli Acqua eau de toilette
- Burberry Body Tender eau de toilette
- Chanel No 5
All of the above are available at Selfridges & most good perfume shops, if you have any more that are similar, please message me. Now the only problem is having to pick one!

I just want to tell you about one of my favourite bands, Alt-J. They are commonly described as 'indie rockers' which you may agree with,but personally I don't. I love their music & their first studio album 'An Awesome Wave' was released about a year ago. I listen to them anytime of day,whatever mood I'm in. I was lucky enough to get tickets to their tour,so last weekend I saw them live in Liverpool and they did not disappoint. They're not the standard type of 'heart-throb boyband', but their music is definatley worth listening to. My favourite tracks of the album are Breezeblocks,Fitzpleasure&Taro, but the other songs are just as good. A lot of people's first response to them is 'omg what are these guys on' which I guess is understandable, but their music is just perfect for vibing to, even if it doesn't make much sense!
check out their youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/Altjband?feature=watch , Enjoy!

This season I love putting a sporty twist on my outfits. Usually I choose a simple outfit & pair it with trainers. So I just want to share some of my favorite trainer brands (&some cheeky hotspots for limited editions).
Urban Outfitters is a great place for one of a kind trainers, and any type of shoe really, from sandals to air max! I really love the collection at the moment and have been saving up for the limited edition ' Nike Air Max 90 Trainers in Red' http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/nike-air-max-90-trainers-in-red/invt/5319408127538/ recently. All the trainers are gorgeous and the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. The extra great thing about the shoes at Urban Outfitters is that it's really unlikely for you too have the same shoes as someone you know:-)
Another favourite of mine are new balance. I used to think that they were more of an actually sports shoe, rather than casual, but since I bought a pair of classic grey 574 they are a necessity for me http://www.newbalance.co.uk/80s-Running-574/ML574-EIG,en_GB,pd.html?dwvar_ML574-EIG_color=Light%20Grey_with_Grey%20Stone&start=1&q=574&prefn1=color&prefv1=Grey&cgid=172000 . So check them out if you want.
There are always the classic converse,vans,nike air force/max etc, but mixing it up a bit with some new is always a good idea.

Been hopelessly searching around for a lipstick or lip-gloss for summer, something cute but not too standard & I've finally found it! It's the 'tube tint' from Bobbi Brown and you can get it in 4 different shades,all perfect for summer&handbag essentials. I love them & I hope you do too, and for only £16.00 they are a must have this spring/summer.

As my first post, I just want to write about something I do a lot, which is online shopping, We all do it, let's be honest. Some of us do it because we're just too lazy to go out, but I do it because there is so much more choice. Shops like Bambi&Manson hand-make the most amazing shorts, but at the moment are only available online. And there are so many online based stores with one-of-a-kind, must haves! There's ones for every style and occasion.
At the moment I'm searching for the perfect 'casual-but-not-boring' tee to chill in for summer, when i found AND ALSO CLOTHING http://andclothing.bigcartel.com/ . They're only small at the moment, but providing unisex tees,hats and socks is becoming more popular. I really love the 'Purple Blue Dip Dye Horizon Tee' , so that's another for anyone looking for a more tom-boy, laid back style.
Oh My Love is a favorite of mine and my sister, we can't get enough! They're becoming quite popular as they work with topshop a lot, but they focus on very girly, cute clothes. For me they are perfect for any event, from parties to just going out. http://www.ohmylove.co.uk/ . I had been searching for a patterned,midi,body-con dress for ages when I found them and they had exactly what I had in mind.
