pirate, skulls and bones, sticks and stones and weed and bombs

I have been terribly MIA from the blogging world. Well, half and half as I've still been reading everyones blogs daily but I just havn't been in the mood to actually write anything. I do have a very legitamate reason as to why but I'm not really comftorble discussing it with the whole of the world wide web atm so you'll just have to forgive me, please!

I do aim to get back soon, when things have cleared up and gotten better so please bare with me :)

BTW does anyone know where to get cheap quitled/padded jackets from!? Topshop and river island have beautiful ones but there way too expensive for the amount I have in my bank at the mo, and eBay is massivley letting down on this one! Please drop me a comment with any suggestions, would really appreciate it.

P.s - anyone see what I did there with the title of the post, an M.I.A song as I've been M.I.A ;)

please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth

For those of you who read my last post you'd be expecting me to be in Bruges this week with my boy. Unfortunately we wont be going, sad times :(:(. We didn't actually book the holiday, my boyfriend just reserved a place until he got paid to book it. When we went back on Friday to pay the travel agent told us we didn't have a place and her colleague shouldn't have said we could reserve a place because they don't do that. VERY GUTTED!! I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it as it wasn't a definite and now feel like I have definitely jinxed it. In future I will not blog about something I'm looking forward to until it is 100% as I'm extremely superstitious like that and it was just the excitement of the trip that made me break one of my rules. However, I think it's safe to say that one day we will get to the beautiful city that is Bruges :)

On a happier note my camera finally came!!! This means that I can finally take some decent pictures and do some consistent posts. I'm not sure what though as I don't really know where I want my blog to go. I don't want it to be a fashion blog as I honestly do not think I look good like all the other girls who have fashion blogs although if I'm wearing an outfit I really love I will blog about it. I'm thinking I kind of want this to be like an online diary maybe, something I can look back on and enjoy. I'll have a think about what kind of posts I can include in my blog but I'm interested in your opinions too, what would you like to see?

Here's just a few pictures I'm loving right now :)

All pictures from weheartit

P.S - I know alot of bloggers prefer bloglovin' to follow blogs on and it's been recommended to me so I thought I'd sign up so now you guys can follow me on bloglovin' too!

HEY GUYS!

Finally my exams are over. I'm not exactly sure how they went, I guess we'll find out in March. The end of exams and constant revision means I can finally pay some attention to my Blog! I have so many post's in mind but the camera I got for Christmas has broken so I'm waiting for it's replacement to turn up so I can take pictures. It's taking for ever though so I might have to borrow my boyfriends for the time being.. we'll see how long it takes.

Speaking of my boyfriend, he has just booked us a mini holiday!!! It's a four day cruise, with a night on the boat two nights in Bruges then another night on the boat. I'm so, so excited! I love Bruges, such a beautiful city and I've started learning a bit of Flemmish :) We're going in the February half term. Has any one else got plans for the half term? I'd love to hear them :)

The next photos I upload of Bruges will have been taken by me :)

i felt it, i was perfect

I wasn't planning on doing a post this week (with my Psycholgy exam on Friday I was planning on devoting all my attention to intense revision), but after watching Black Swan last night I really felt like I should do a quick post about it.

I can't actually describe how weird or beautiful this film is. From the brilliant director Darren Aronofsky  who has made beautiful, powerful films such as Requim for a Dream, The Fountain and The Wrestler and starring one of my favourite actress' Natalie Portman and briefly featuring another of my faves Winnona Ryder, I do believe this film is a must see. It's direction and plot is so easy to watch and although it has a recieved few criticims, I personally loved it. I also want to stress that although this film is about a ballet dancer, you do not need to be a female and/or into ballet to enjoy this film... I personally hate dance films and I dragged my reluctant boyfriend along to watch it with me and by the end of the film we was both stunned into silence.

Another masterpeice from the brilliant Aronofsky.

Has any one else watched it yet? What did you think?

NEW DESIGN...... again!

Rather late blog I know, but I've not long gotten in from work and I paid off my eBay then checked the blogging world and other peoples lovely looking blogs made me jelous so I thought I'd try make mine look better. This has not worked...I don't think I will ever be happy with my blog layout/design!!!

I can't wait for next Friday to be over with as then I don't have to worry about exams untill June and I can get my life back and real blogging can commence as its safe to say the content on this blog so far has been rather poor!

NEW DESIGN

Hiya!! Thank you to all who commented/emailed to let me know about wedges, been having a look at all the sites and places you suggested and have found so many I love that I'm having to let my boyfriend decide which one pair I should buy!

As you'll notice I kinda changed the design of the blog as I wasn't happy with the last one although I'm still not sure... I think it looks a bit, too white? I don't know, I just know that I LOVE that picture of the boy and girl in the car and I think it really sums up my whole attitude to the life and the 'there is no if' line I have adopted from my favourite Cure song as my motto. This picture kind of screams to me JUST DO IT, if you know what I mean? There is no 'what if I did that' just 'I did it!"

So yeah, just a very quick post to say thanks and to inform about the new design....... and now it's back to revision :\ :\

Good luck to anyone else who is currently taking exams!

IN NEEEED!

Does any one know any where that is selling nice black wedge boots atm pleeeease? Absolutely desperate for some!!! I can only find tan coloured ones tho and I'm not 100% sure about them. Tried Ebay but as I have tiny feet (size 2.5) there's literally NOTHING ON THERE :( :( it's a sad, sad day when ebay lets me down as this has not happened before! Although it's made it up to me as I'm currently watching about 8 items i just HAVE to have. Preparing my self for some fight to the death ebay wars on these items, but they are going to be so worth it - anyway, I love the excitement of a good bidding war don't you? Soon hopefully you'll be getting a post with all the gorgeous new things I've won.. fingers crossed for me :)

Please, please, please help me if you can :) with all the coursework I've got to do and revising for my exams I don't have time to pop up town and look round for myself, so I'm relying on you lot!

THE FLOWER GIRL

Wow, it's literally been so long since I last blogged! that's because I very stupidly dropped my laptop down the stairs and it's only JUST been fixed :\ I've literally died without it! I had sooo much school work to do that I had to go to my boyfriends to finish off on his computer and of course, no checking my fave blogs!!!

Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope everyone had a good one! I really think 2011 will be my year. I've gotten all my conditional offers so I'm just hoping I get the grades I need to get in to uni then it's a fresh start. I love fresh starts.

How was every ones new year? Mine was a bit shocking as I was too out of my trolley to actually be allowed into the club I'd paid tickets before and spent 12o'clock with the (very lovely) taxi man. However, my boyfriend came to my rescue, looked after me and I was with the only person I wanted to be with on the first day of 2011 :)

(I adore this quote. I have it pinned to my notice board above my desk with a picture of me and my bf underneath it as I belive it's so true and so me and him! Found this on the blog Le Love and just had to put it on mine)

This post was actually so I could mention one of my favourite blogs (one which I've spent all day reading over the posts I've missed whilst my laptops been out of action). The Flower Girl!!!!
Seriously love this girls style and posts and I definitely recommend this blog. Take a look :) She's also doing a fabulous giveaway so I'd get yourself entered if I was you!!!

(this picture is one of my favourites of her outfits. beautiful boho dress that I'd die for!)

P.S. My posts will be few and far between this month as I have exams coming up.Sorry :(

It's the most wonderful time...

Okay, so, I should definitely NOT stay up till 4.am reading blogs and searching ebay when I have an exam the next morning. Exam went OK though I think and when I got home I had a little package waiting for me.. that necklace I showed you yesterday!!! And I've found so many beautiful things on ebay that I just HAVE to have, and some Christmas presents for my boyfriend :) No point in an outfit post today as I was literally so tired (late!!!) this morning I threw on whatever was nearest to me, i.e. a pair of my sisters jeggings and my Belle & Sebastian t-shirt.

15 days till Christmas! So so exciting. I love Christmas, it is by far the best time of year. Everyone (well, most people because I do know a few Scrooges who hate this time of year) is happy and loving and there is snow on the ground and there are wonderful films on the T.V and songs on the radio. Christmas shopping with the boyfriend on Sunday, have to get that out of the way as that's the one part of Christmas I'm not a fan of! Unfortunately, theres nothing for my sister and mother on ebay so I can't do the shopping from the comfort of my own bed. Oh well, a nice Starbucks after a hard days shopping should make me feel better :) I'm putting my decorations up this weekend too so that will be fun.

EBAY!

Absolutley ADORE ebay. So many bargains to be had! I've just recieved a beautiful velvet Laura Ashley dress that was just £5!!! Christmas day dress sorted :) It's a tad too long for my liking so I'll have to adjust the lenght but other than that I'm in lovvve!

Should also be recieving this necklace any time soon

Gorgeous, no? Love these necklaces and will deffinatly be ordering more, more, more!
(If you want your own, search marneypoos1 in ebay)

I'm taking a well deserved break from revision and my boyfriends on his way over and we'll be hitting the charity shops, see if I can find some bargains in there :)
