“You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.” ― J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

If you are terrified of snakes then I suppose this beautiful Serpents series by Paris based artist Guido Mocafico isn’t really your cup of tea. 


 “If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colours suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the colours become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire.” 
-Peter Pan-



“When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies.” 
-Peter Pan-


“Do you know," Peter asked, "why swallows build in the eaves of houses? It is to listen to the stories.”

It's like Chocolate on Valentines Day: Estings

If you do not watch E4 then you will probably think that I'm crazy. Estings basically are around 10 second long animations which are shown between intervals to show you (if you don't know what channel it is already) that you are watching E4. They are made by the public and are set-up like a competition. They are all sooooo creative and surreal. 


Just to top it off... a song about summer which I'm obsessing over and can play on the guitar, it's more linked to my last post...

I know It's a Bit Late But... Goodbye Summer :'(

I guess it's pretty obvious that summer's over but I have just accepted it. Summer is my FAVORITE season but I think Autumn is the most beautiful. "Let the wild rumpus start!"

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimmed their clammy cell.
-David B Hart-

Édith Piaf

I have recently been given a Crosley Record player for my birthday and already I have around fifteen vinyls but the one that I can't stop listening to is called 'The Queen of Song-Édith Piaf'. Her voice resonates in my mind. When I think of her songs I picture her big beautiful eyes filled with mysterious French passion. I myself am obsessed with France (especially Paris) and I am taking French as a GCSE. J'adore le Paris. Je reve pour serai ecouterai le musique de Edith Piaf dans le Paris! Well there's my rubbish french put into action. I have this dream of sitting in a little bistro in Paris with fresh flowers and dior perfume hanging out of the basket of my 'vingtage' red velo. Somewhere in the distance 'Non, je ne regrette rien' playing in the disatance. ahhh one can dream.


Just to picture my future life... :p

My Favorite Things: Disposable Camera's

I do own a digital SLR but when it comes down to school trips and fun days out you don't want to carry around heavy cameras. Everyone will use a disposable camera in these situations. They manage to capture the light so it reflects the fun you were having that day. There is something quite magical about the whole process of developing photos which you haven't seen, of course some of them don't turn out great but most are really beautiful and hold prized place on my wall. They don't allow you to delete the photos that you look tres dodge in which makes you feel liberated from the pressures of looking perfect.

GIRRRLLL CRUSSSSHH: Sky Ferreria


THIS IS MY FUTURE HAIIIRR

Now all of us girls have girl crushes. The girls that we just think WOW you are so amazingly amazing. Probably at the age of five your girl crush was sleeping beauty... I know mine was :p . At the moment though I have recently discovered this most amazingly amazing person. By discovered recently I mean that I just found out her name yesterday but I have seen tonnes of pictures of her all over tumblr and I was like 'who is this gorgeous person?' and then I can't remember how but I just found out. Her name, if you haven't read the title is Sky Ferreria, she is half Brazilian/Portuguese just like meeeee and is apparently a singer/songwriter but although this sounds reaaalllllyyy shallow I don't really like her music but I love her individual fashion and hair. Oh yeah before I forget she is also super stunning.


What Kind of Bird are YOU?








MY FAVOURITE SCENE
OK I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS MOVIE. I love Wes Anderson's productions and this was no exception. I had high hopes for this movie and it did not disappoint. It is a beautifully simple plot and uses it's innocence as a moving touch. Using his trademark stile of childlike stories the movie becomes touching and endearing. The clothes and scenery are nothing less then spectacularly put together. It is about a love story of two kids that are emotionally unstable and they run away together. You can tell how much work Anderson puts into every shot. Every frame is beautiful. A wonderfully written story. The two young actors perform amazingly in this movie that never loses the themes of young love, innocence, and the need to escape.
