ellies favourite things

When reading one of my favourite blogs, Ellie’s Favourite Things, I found quite a nice and quirky post, and now after seeing other people doing it too, I’m going to join in… At this moment in time, I am very nervous and scared about the following pictures. I look absolutely hilarious…. oh and do excuse the messy writing, I did it on a tablet!Oh… gosh. I haven’t even written a full paragraph about these pictures and I am almost peeing myself. Seriously?! Why the heck am I writing this post? Please take care to remind me… I know that my sister is reading this, and I am just going to say it, stop laughing.

The Colourful Jumper – Right, I actually can explain this one. That jumper was literally thee cosiest and comfortable jumper ever. I could store my hankies (handkerchiefs) in the pocket – making me look like a pregnant 4 year old – but it was totally worth it. How to work this look? – Green and grey parka coat, and red trousers, oh and one squinty eye!

The Pirate – Okay, kind of not actually real, but I do promise that this was worn after the fancy dress party, so actually it is kind of real. I’m not quite sure why I dressed like a boy though… Jack Sparrow?! Hmm… How to work this look? – Add another squinty eye.

Red T-Shirt & Barbie Sunglasses – HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh wow. What the heck is that face?! Seriiiiousssly! When people at my old school said I looked like Gollum from Lord of The Rings, I now totally understand their logic. I still cannot believe that I have put that picture out into the universe. 0_0 How to work this look? – Stick your bottom lip out and wear blue Barbie sunglasses.

First Day of School – This is such a me picture. If you think of me when I was younger, it’s either this one or the one where I have 2 glasses up against my head – don’t ask. But yeah. I swear my forehead was abnormally huge when I was younger, it’s sort of in proportion now, but back then, HUGE. N’aww cute though?! If I do say so myself… How to work this look? – Scarves on bags?! Not such a thing, use your handkerchief instead on your lunch bag, oh and just add ANOTHER pair of squinty eyes.

No Skirt – Yeah. I didn’t like to wear skirts, just tops and tights with a VVNL – very visible nappy line. Mama Posh always says that I used to throw tantrums because I really didn’t want to wear my skirt. I would walk around like public spaces without one. How to work this look? – Don’t wear skirts… simple.

Footy Fan – My brother’s rubbed off on me, and I used to love wearing my England football kit, like everywhere. It was comfy, and I just loved it. How to work this look? – Buy a football kit… and um, a squinty eye.

Barbie Sunnies Take 2 – Yup, you can see I just love those sunglasses! But seriously, THAT FACE. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT. Like dwarf elf squashed together?! How to work this look? – Squash your head between an elf and a dwarf (Do not try this at home).

So yep. I have just totally humiliated myself in front of all my blog readers. And yes, I do deserve a medal. I would show you some more recent images, but quite frankly, they are no where near as amusing as these. I also now, really do feel for you grown up people. I want to be cute and funny again. 🙁 Oh well, I can just make my niece/nephew (eeep, not long now!) totally crazy and we can rule the world together. *sets new life goal*

I was recently awarded the ‘Shine On’ award by Orla at The Cool Customer. It is similar to the Liebster Award which I have also received, so here is my post! Thank you so much Orla! First up are the questions which I need to answer!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?: I see myself hopefully, on the FROW of all the main fashion shows 🙂 Haha. I really do hope I will be! I also see myself at a fashion college, preferably Central Saint Martins (London) or Parsons New School of Design (New York).

What was the last thing you watched, ate and read?: Watched: Jonathan Ross Show, but only half of it. Ate: Shrimps & Bananas. Read: Orla’s post on the Shine On awards 🙂

What are your views and opinions on Feminism?:I don’t really have any views on it, I don’t really powerfully believe in it in anyway, and to be honest I think quite a few bloggers say they believe in Feminism just because they see their favourite blogger believing in it. So, there you go.

If you had to choose one designer or a shop to dress you forever, who would you choose and why?:I would choose… Mary Katrantzou (is that how you spell it?) because I know that she would dress in me in either bold prints or in bold cuts, and that’s what I love! (Image from Pinterest).

What inspired you to begin blogging?:My dream to become a Fashion Designer did. If I want to get to that dream, I need to begin somewhere, right? Through blogging I have been able to start getting closer to it.

What’s your favourite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?:My Saint James stripey top! I seriously can’t live without it! It goes with everything and is perfect for all seasons.

What was the best adventure you ever had?:So far, it has been moving to France. It was very exciting but at the same time, super nerve racking!

Favourite quote ever, and why?:”Even if happiness forgets you a bit never completely forget about it.” We have had this in our house either on a wall, or painted on a piece of furniture, for like, ever. It makes me smile, and always tells me that no matter what, there is always a silver lining to everything.

Most embarrasing moment ever?: Probably when I was told that I was about to walk into a lamp post, but walked into it anyway. That was quite funny. Haha.

Period in history you would most like to visit for a day?:The day of the moon landing. That day must have been amazing. We haven’t really had anything like that yet, except from the internet. Come on NASA, when are you off to Mars?

I nominate:Ellie, Zoe, Anna, Lucy & Lucy A.

I would love if you could answer these 10 questions and then answer them on your blog. Then nominate 5 other bloggers and notify them, and ask them 10 different questions!

1 – Blusher or Bronzer?
2 – Honey or Chocolate?
3 – David Beckham or Josh Hutcherson?
4 – Vivienne Westwood or Coco Chanel?
5 – Fish fingers or Sushi?
6 – Name a film that makes your cry.
7 – Would you climb a mountain or shave your hair off for charity?
8 – If you had to wear one item of clothing for a whole year, what would it be and why?
9 – If you had to go and live with one Fashion Designer, who would it be?
10 – What would you make if you were given: A plastic bag, a pair of curtains, a sofa cover, a pair of scissors and tape?

Thank you so much Orla for nominating me! I hope the people who I nominate are very grateful and do the post! Merci!
