Blackbird



Evening!

So I'm feeling very under the weather today and I haven't really done much today but watch housing programmes on television. Because of my illness, I decided to play around with some items in my wardrobe and my camera and these were the results - I hope you guys like them!

In other news, I've had a lovely time with my boyfriend over the past week. We went to the local Seaquarium
(all ethical and about conservation, don't worry!) and saw the wonderful sea lion show that they do to keep the sea lions fit and healthy and they were so adorable! Just like Labradors without the legs. We also baked almond cupcakes & mini scones which was tones of fun.

I hope everyone's doing well!

Much Love and Peace

God Knows I've Got to Break Free

Hey guys,

Not enough time for an oufit post - I'm at my boyfriend's & I'm off to my friend's party in a bit & I'm glad because I haven't seen everyone from college for a few weeks cause it's the summer holidays and we all live so far away from each other.

Anyway, I took a few snaps of some clothes I liked the look of last time I was out so I figured I'd post them and see what you guys thought!




Much Love and Peace

Back in Brown

Evening all!


I had a lovely day in Chester with my boyfriend today. We were planning on spending the day going round the museums as it's something we've never done when we go there. Alas, there was a storm so we opted for taking shelter in Starbucks where I got a come-worthy hazelnut hot chocolate.

There was nothing in the charity shops today - :( - but I did manage to pick up a few items from Primark. I got a brown shirt, a cute dress and a cosy brown cardigan shown below.




I have a college reunion party for the course I'm on next week and I haven't got the first clue what to wear! Formal? Informal? Semiformal? :S I better get looking...

Much Love and Peace

A Post A Day...

I told you I'd be back!

So I went to the library all day to revise :( - no fun BUT I now know all about protein synthesis, mitosis and how to calculate the magnification of an image! My mum, being the darling she is, bought me these lovely shorts today to cheer me up as well:

I'm going to style them with white pumps, a white vest top and a denim jacket - light and cute!

I am wiped out from revision so I'm going to be sending the next hour in my bed with my two favourite men and an amazing show:


Goodnight bloggers!
Much Love and Peace

It's a New Dawn, It's a New Day



Hello my lovely followers!
I'm am so, so, so excited for summer! I have quite a bit lined up:
  • Batman Live on 23rd July - yes, I am a geek but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to this, I can't even say!
  • An archaeology camping course for a week in August where I can get my dig on and become a badass ameture archaeologist and prepare for uni :')
  • And 2 weeks at the end of summer in Edinburgh with my boyfriend.
  • On top of that, I'm hopefully attending the Supernatural convention (Asylum 7) in October with my sister which I literally cannot wait for!
I know I've just made myself sound like a major nerd but I don't even care because I am so excited!

Just a quick note here to apologise for my major lack of postage but I will definitley start blogging again once the summer beings properly! I have a whole bunch of exams next weeks and then I'm in college for another 3 weeks but then I'm finished! Woowheee.

I'm looking into buying a digital SLR as well as my filmy so I can document my style finds as and when I find them so I can share them with you pure babes!

So just a quick pop in - will be back v. soon!

Much love and peace.
Natalie.

p.s. Who's been watching Made in Chelsea?!

Urban Outfitters


Sophia Bush has declared war on Urban Outfitters after they marketted a t-shirt with the words ‘Eat Less’ on the front.

The One Tree Hill actress, in an entry on her personal blog, called for them to issue an apology and make a donation to a charity for eating disorders, and said, “It’s like handing a suicidal person a loaded gun. You should know better.”

Sophia wrote, “To promote starvation? To promote anorexia, which leads to heart disease, bone density loss, and a slew of other health problems, not least of all psychological issues that NEVER go away? Shame on you. I will no longer be shopping at your stores. And I will encourage the tens of thousands of female supporters I have to do the same.”

"Snow Is [No Longer] Falling"

The snow has gone. I'm quite glad. It means I can go jogging without fear of falling flat on my arse.

Apologies for the very scarce posts. I am a busy girl :( I will try much harder from now on! Of course, I am always on Tumblr: http://www.clothesandcoffee.tumblr.com/

For now, have kittens. Lots of kittens.








Big Kitten :P




















Much Love and Peace

I'd Rather Be Working for a Paycheck than Waitng to Win the Lottery


So, I haven't posted in a while. I don't really go online much anymore what with college work and other things taking up my time. I have come to realise that I've spent the past year not really living. I went to college, got out of Prestatyn, met new people and fell in love. But when I reflect back, it's all so menial. I mean, I'm still living in the same place, doing the same things with the same people. There's only so many times I can go out and get wasted before it gets boring as well.

I don't look after myself properly anymore - something I wholly regret. I don't go to the gym. I don't go to pilates or salsa aerobics. I don't meditate anymore. I don't dream anymore. I don't listen to music as much anymore - because I'm growing up. I'm becoming part of the machine that is expected of me. I don't want to be part of the machine. I want to be Natalie again. I miss my alone time. I miss days where I would wake up and meditate, go to the gym and spend the day for me.

I wouldn't give up the life I have now but I wouldn't necessarily argue that I'm happier in either life. I love my boyfriend. More than anything. But I don't want to lose myself in this relationship. A year has passed and I'm beginning to realise that I miss me.

College is tough especially when I have to make time in the week for my boyfriend, my dad, my mum, my sister and my friends - where do I fit in? If I get a night alone I usually have work that needs to be done, essays and such.

Luckily, all the things I miss are not impossible to begin again. I need to juggle my time more. I need to find /make even 10 minutes in the day just for me.

Because I miss that.
And I want me back.
