9. The Good in Goodbye.

I'm saying good bye to Beca tomorrow which will be horrible because she is the best and closest person to me ever.She is has taught me a lot about myself and is always honest with me and is always there to make me laugh when I'm  upset or to help me out in whatever dozy stupid situation I have managed to get myself into.She is the best kind of person I could think of and will be my best friend hopefully for years to come because I love her lots and lots and I hope she has the best time in Malawi and that no lions eat her.It will be hard without her but it's only for a year and I know she's coming back after and I will always have contact with her and she can see everything I'm doing through this blog so she will always be with me but i will still miss her a lot because she is my Ed Westwick in chalet girl or my Fred in Breakfast at Tiffany's she is AMAZING and I hope she has the best year of her life  ;)Love you lots Beca mwah x.

8. You know I'll never Fade away.

I LOVE this song the words are so gorgeous, It's from a new band called Spector and their songs are lovely, I'm going to try and see them live when I move down to London so enjoy this beautiful song :D mwah x.

7. A delay is to impede the process of progress,

Sorry I have been away for quite a while as my laptop decided to have a mental breakdown and die on me so nearly all links to the internet were cut off from me, which was a bit refreshing as it meant I had to look at other ways to entertain myself, instead of just clicking refresh on my facebook homepage and waiting on the Sartorialist blog to create a new post. This meant that I mostly turned to books as I've now read the entire shopaholic series by Sophie kinsella and have realised that I may have a shopping problem myself but I definitely rediscovered my love of reading, even if they are chick flick books but I'm trying to train my brain into reading more unique books that are a bit different, and as Beca has come to my rescue and given me half a library of amazing books I can't waaait to start reading naha ha aha ha book geek here I come. mwah x.

6. Dance is the art form that communicates through the body.

You wanted to Dance? Yes? Dancing makes you feel sexy and amazing even when your having the mean reds (Breakfast at Tiffanys reference) it can relax your troubled shoulders and make you feel amazing.Don'y ever feel embarrassed dancing because everyone has there own way of dancing darling so enjoy this sweet dancing song and more will follow of course darling. Mwah x. p.s. make sure you turn the volume up loud it makes you feel good.

5.It takes forty three face muscles to frown but only seventeen to smile.

Summer just generally can make me smile mostly because its sunny and gorgeus also because my birthday is in the summer and everything come to life and looks magnificent especially if your in the countryside everything looks truly beautiful it also means BEACH TIME and plenty of tanning time. I've had an amazing summer this year i went to Benicassim festival in Spain (http://fiberfib.com/)  with my two Best Friends.Benicassim is definitely the most amazing festival you will ever experience, you will come back a different person. I met so many lovely people out there the music was also amazing from seeing friendly fires at like 3 in the morning to Arcade Fire and the Arctic Monkeys they were all super amazing .The weather was beautiful and the Spanish people love to party, so it was all super fun.  But I also learnt a lot about myself and a few things that I do need to work on like i think i need to smile more, because I don't mean to but sometimes my face will fall into this natural frown and then people are either scared or just think I'm moody, when I'm actually feeling ok and so I am officially on a frown ban and its smiles all the way:D But i don't mean annoying smiles i just mean a nice smile, yanno that keeps you happy content and stops people thinking your moody cow. I love watching things that make me smile one is this really cute french video which i found ages ago and is super cute and it just kinda makes me smile yanno so smile more darlings it will make your day and make you look super confident and sexy :D Mwah x.

4.The earliest recorded 'newspaper' appeared back in 59 B.C.

The newspaper is a wealth of information of course some of it interesting, some of its ridiculous (uhum news of the world) BUT daaaarling there is a new revolution in the land of printed newspaper...... NEWSPAPER NAILS OF COURSE get all the latest news printed right onto your nails, just joking but ye newspaper nails are very cool and creative and super easy to create and the end result looks like you went to a mega posh salon and got it done when you didnt mwha ha ha but hey who has to know? It's super super easy and saves you some dosh in case you spent the last of your money on some wonderful clothes and now find yourself skint until the next payday but are in desperate need of dressing your naked nails and here are some instructions :D
1) Paint your nails with base coat and then a light colour. If you want something subdued, I used cyclone by Topshop.

2) Cut out ten pieces of newspaper big enough to cover each one of your nails.

3) Pour a tiny bit of surgical spirit into an old dish and then dip your fingers in it, one at a time, so that the your whole nail is submerged.

4) Place one of your newspaper cuttings text side down on top of your nail. You may want to use tweezers if you don't have steady hands! 

5) Hold it down for a few seconds so the writing transfers onto your nail and then peel it off. And then repeat for every nail!  

5) Add a coat of clear nail varnish to keep it there for longer. 
So easy darling Your Nails will make the HEADLINES ;D sorry had to say it.

Your nails will look so Beau :O
Mwah x.

3.I could Drink a case of you and still be on my feet.

Enjoy this darlings just imagine a wonderful person who you love and smile and listen (The smile is vital) feel happy and loved daahllings.Mwah x.

2.Malawi is known as the 'Warm Heart Of Africa'.

 On September the 1st My best friend Beca is going to Malawi for a year to teach in one of the schools in Malawi.Saying goodbye will be very hard, I know she will still be there thanks to the magic of internet and emails but its still horrible to say goodbye to something that you care about, and you get so used to them being there. Shes the reason I've created this blog so that i can show her everything I'm doing in London because she wants me to have the max amount of fun possible in London, so this is kinda my way of sharing everything with her.I haven't told her but I've been looking up malawi and every site calls it the 'warm heart of Africa' because the people there are meant to be so friendly and lovely so that's made me feel a little better about it, because i know that she will have an amazing time out there, and come back with amazing stories for me.Saying goodbye to anything is horrible like I know clothes are just a material and our ancestors lived without them blah blah blah but at the same time they do have some meaning to them, like i have to clear through my wardrobe because as any other woman I have waaaay too many clothes some i probably haven't worn in a longtime but then when you start go through them you suddenly start to think of the memories and stories you have in those clothes like I have a stripy dress which I haven't worn for years but i had my first proper kiss in it, so I kept it even though I wouldn't wear it again because its old and not anything special and then you think oh well I might as well keep it as it might come back into fashion next season or you think well I could chop it up and use it to make a top or a dress, and then I end up sitting there for two hours and I reaslise in fact all I've done is gone through my wardrobe and reminisced about when I wore the clothes. I actually haven't got rid of any of them .I think i need a Mary Poppins suitcase so i can just take my whole bedroom with me in one suitcase down to London, because I know as soon as I've gone my mum is gutting my room, and probably turning it into a sewing room or something pointless, so everything will go .So i need to be callous and just be honest and say I don't need these things, it would be much easier if i didn't emotionally attach myself to EVERYTHING IN MY ROOM. I think i shall drink some Rose and just put myself head first into clearing my wardrobe otherwise it shall never be done  and alcohol is menna numb your feelings so should make the task easier mwha ha ha ha have a lovely day Darling Mwah x.

1. The Hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards.

Did you know that the hummingbird was so lonely in its talents? I didn't even think it possible for a bird to fly backwards but no the little hummingbird has mastered such a trick, it started making me think about things in reverse, like i have a vintage lace top which buttons up at the back so i put it on in reverse and suddenly it was a brand new top almost like a lace shirt .This idea of putting things in reverse has added a whole new spectrum to my wardrobe which i never knew that i could do before (but obvs remember to take the label off first and don't pick a stupid top to do it with).We don't really think about things in other ways do way like i pass this building almost everyday of my life and i never look at it its just there and I'm so used to it it now blends to the scenery, but when i actually look at it i suddenly notice things that i never saw before and i think how did i miss that every single day? This is one thing i am attempting to do is actually look at things properly so that i take everything in.My name is Annie and in September i am moving down to London town: Population 8,278,251  to study fashion I am moving from a tiny welsh village called Benllech : Population 3408 .Am i scared?A little bit .But SUPER excited Darling. Mwah x.
