16 Things You Didn't Know About Me...


1. I still love watching tween shows and movies and I'm almost 22. I love kicking back with some cereal and watch The Wizards of Waverly Place and I think Selena Gomez is awesome. Cringe.

2. I wish I could go back in time to Jane Austen's era and just live how she did. I'd love to know what inspired every one of her books. I'd totally follow her around invisibly if I could.

3. Tea. Tea. Tea. I love tea. It's amazing. My mum used to get so angry because the cupboard would be just full of boxes of tea. I keep telling myself to buy this box online that's specifically to keep your tea packets tidy and in order.

4. I love almost every genre of music except for the club music that's just beat and no substance. Oh, and metal that's just all screams. My tastes go from Taylor Swift to Joni Mitchell to Calvin Harris to The Muse. I also love Girls Aloud. Eek.

5. I'm the most undecisive person in the world. I've probably spent way over £1000 on college courses that I never finish. I finished high school and did a year in Sixth Form and since then I've been to college about 4 times? I cannot decide on what I want to do but my neighbour told me her daughter has just got into Uni at 25 after years of indecisiveness so I'm not worried.

6. My favourite flowers are Snap Dragons. So lovely. I also love lavender.

7. I am always writing lists or doodling up plans. I do it for everything. I do it for evening plans, life plans, shopping plans, style plans, nail-painting plans. It's all mapped out and then I never follow the plans I've written.

8. I love to read. Everything. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is my favourite but I love horror. Especially Victorian horror. I'm currently reading The Séance by John Harwood. It's great so far.

9. I love eggs on toast.

10. I've always wanted to have a scrapbook diary but I'm such a procrastinator, it's ridiculous. I can't even push myself to write in my diary anymore. It used to be a 'must' for me.

11. I hate wearing socks but I think they're soooo cute! I love little fuzzy feet! My feet are my comforters. I rub them together just before I fall to sleep. I never knew I did it until my best friend pointed it out when we were camping. It's just so natural.

12. I love Roswell and Ghost Whisperer. Such quirky, lovely shows and I'm addicted. I hate that they can't just make them forever. I keep meaning to buy the Roswell boxset but I keep forgetting! I think my mum will get it for my birthday. *i hope*

13. My birthday is on December 22nd and I hate it. People always just give me a christmas card with happy birthday inside and they use christmas wrapping paper. ARGH. If you cannot make the effort, then just pretend I don't have a birthday!

14. I love Autumn and Winter. I love getting snuggly, I hate sweating in summer and I love wearing hats. I'm such a Winter child. My thick hair is perfect for it. Keeps me warm! I love the colours of Autumn and the glitter in Winter. I love being cold but under a blanket. I love the clear skies. Amazing.

15. I adore baking. I love, love, love making things and seeing the final product. Pretty and yummy.

16. I am a crazy cat lady. I love animals so much. I get so upset when I read about hurt animals. It broke my heart when my cat, Fefe died after 17 years with her. It was on my birthday. <3

I had a little chat with my neighbour today who is the nicest person in the world and also in love with photography. We spoke for such a long time and she really boosted my ego. I think it's time to get back into it. I can put all of my energy back into it, I think. Oh well, we'll see.

Spotlight: Rock'n'Rose Jewellery

Rock'n'Rose is amazing! I found it accidentally and I'm absolutely going to spend a lot on there this weekend! I'm a costume jewellery skank and this is heaven for me!




Love, love, love.

BTW, I know it's probably old news to Tim Burton fans but if you're the kind of quirky kid who loves his mix of cute and creepy then you'll love this...



And if you're not a big reader then don't worry! I finished it completely in less than 10 minutes! It's soooo adorable!


Tim Burton is absolute love.

I haven't got through this month's Elle yet so I'll setting aside a tea break tonight and relaxing with it!

Red Velvet art!

.I've been a huge fan of Elsie*Cake for such a while now that I had to do a feature on her store! It's called Red Velvet art and it's amazing.
I can't even describe to you how adorable and retro her stuff is!





That's only a tiny image into their world! You'll definitely have to check it out. I <3 it all!

Stay quirky!
It's 6:30am and I'm freezing my ass off. It's raining like hell outside, my cat has trashed my bedroom during the night and the wind is whistling past my window. It's like a scene from Wuthering Heights or The Secret Garden! Except I don't live on the dales!
Hmmm, I really want to watch Wuthering Heights now. Emily Brontë is a genius! It's such a haunting novel and film!
I can't find my snuggle socks anywhere! They're amazing. I wish we had nose warmers! Mine always freezes when it's cold and windy! Blah.
I guess I'll go look for our kitty, Alfie since he's out in this!

Love, peace and stay quirky. xx
