Partly because I find Blogger's interface really annoying and hard to use, and partly because I'm studying Fashion at university right now which takes up a LOT of time and effort!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have a Tumblr - who doesn't, right? - so follow me if you love gorgeous inspiration pictures of fashion, tattoos, cuteness and beautiful things! <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Love:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The colour!</b> Luminous yellow and turquoise and silver are the way to go.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The comfort!</b> I've been wearing them non-stop the last few weeks, since it's wayy too hot for boots, and flats are killer to walk/run around in, especially if you find yourself involved in an impromptu game of Duck Duck Goose.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The price! </b>Originally £60 but I got them on sale for a rather fantastic £25 at the outlet mall in Gloucester Docks. Where they also sell bags of creme eggs for £2 when it's not even Easter. It's an incredible place, I know.<b> </b></span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Can't really pick anything about them I dislike..the only thing is that you need to try a couple pairs on, as the sizing is weird. I'm a UK 8-9 in most shoes, but these are a 7 and they still have plenty of room left. Lovelovelove them, can't find many shoes that are cool and pretty enough for wearing in summer, yet won't mutilate your feet after a few hours wear.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>What are your favourite shoes so far this summer?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've also changed the comments to Disqus, since regular Blogger/Google comments are pretty temperamental in Firefox browsers. Plus you can choose to be alerted by email whenever someone replies to your comments..better than constantly having to check the site, right?</span></span></span><br />

I would send my apologies for the slightly prolonged break, but it has made me realise that all bloggers need some time off from their writing schedule to sort things other things out in their lives, otherwise content would be compromised, which is something I'd really rather not want to happen!<br /><br />I plan to keep my following posts shorter and non-scheduled, though I'm sure I shall revive them in the near future. I've realised that I need to keep myself and all aspects of my life scrupulously organised and start planning things out so that I can schedule time for writing rather than force myself to hurriedly type a compromised piece.<br /><br />Here are a few photos from my time away:<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/summer.jpg"><br />Summer!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070959icon.jpg"><br />In Wales somewhere sitting on my car!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/webcam1.png"><br />Messy hair!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/neckbefore.jpg"><br />Happy nape piercing<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/neckafter.jpg"><br />Sad nape piercing.

I'm sad to not be updating this blog quite as much as I should at the moment due to various things going on in my life at the moment - it happens, right? I'm going to keep updating whenever I can, just that regular features might be delayed for a bit as I don't get to be online and write content quite as much as I'd like to right now. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon enough so I can get writing again and start posting some of my favourite new ideas as soon as possible.

The last month has been pretty hectic for all of us, involving having my memory stick of lovely Eye Candy images stolen for one, so even more reason to be positively inspired by the beautiful, fun and fantastic things in life.<br /><br /><b>Ideas for March:<br /><br />1. Pick one thing you've always wanted to do and plan to do it this summer.</b> The regular season for summer break is still a few months away; even so, we should still plan early! Whether you've dreamt of camping out at <a href="http://www.readingfestival.com/lineup/index.aspx">Reading festival</a> with your best friends, watching the sun set from the top of the Empire State building or meeting your best online buddies face-to-face on the other side of the world, make sure you do it in 2010! Book plane tickets, plan routes, make meeting plans..why not go for it?<br /><br /><b>2. Pick key pieces for your SS10 wardrobe if you haven't already.</b> The evenings are getting lighter, my rabbit is getting friskier and the amount of <a href="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs168.snc3/19562_315712258869_514138869_3664767_4091110_n.jpg">ice on my car</a> in the morning is decreasing each day..proper spring weather is nearly here! Last month it seemed ludicrous that SS pieces were appearing in shops already, but by this time next month we won't be needing our super-chunky winter coats anymore. If you're unfamiliar with some of the newest SS10 styles, go out this weekend for a browse around the high street - there's some seriously lovely stuff out there this year!<br /><br /><b>3. Bake yourself a tray of cupcakes to last the rest of the week.</b> Forget picking up a slab of Dairy Milk every time you need a break..make your own beautiful customised cupcakes! I'm a huge fan of cupcakery myself - my favourites ones are the shamelessly indulgent Rocky Road and the luxurious red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum. Hand them out to friends, take them to work/school..they really do make life more fun!<br /><br /><b>4. Take a half hour to browse your nearest bookstore.</b> I'm always looking for brand new books to read..I get through them too quickly! The biggest problem is finding new authors which genuinely interest me. You've probably heard it before, but reading helps us to relax as well as unconsciously expanding our vocabulary and levels of literacy..so no excuses really! Take some time out to wander around a bookstore and pick up anything which catches your eye.<br /><br /><b>5. Clean out your makeup bag.</b> Especially if you're the kind of person who changes their makeup every season. Refresh your look and get rid of anything which is expired. Here's a <a href="http://beauty.about.com/od/makeuptrickstips/a/shelflife.htm">guide</a> to how long you should keep each type of product - eye infections are not fun!<br /><br /><b>6. If you don't know how to use a sewing machine, learn!</b> Since I went to private school for most of my life I never learned how to sew by hand, let alone how to use a machine. It's the most useful skill ever, seriously! You can fix ripped seams, customise plain items and resize baggy tees. Get a friend to teach you, or take a class in it - there's plenty around if you look online and I guarantee that everyone there is really friendly. Do it!<br /><br /><b>7. Don't hesitate to call up an old friend, even if you haven't talked to them in years.</b> Chances are they'll be ecstatic to hear from you, so go for it! Talk about what you've been up to, giggle about the past and make plans to meet up this summer. I'm ridiculously excited to meet up with some friends I haven't seen in ages..I heard they got taller!<br /><br /><b>8. Sort through your SS09 wardrobe pieces.</b> Even though I've mentioned buying brand new clothes for summer, your old ones should still be perfect to wear again this year if you've been shopping wisely.

However I feel better today so entries are back!<br /><br />I went out to Bristol yesterday, intending to take photos for my Photography exam, but it's very difficult to resist when there are so many lovely shops with so few people in on a Monday morning. Plus the weather's quickly getting warmer and I need more lovely clothes for summer!<br /><br />Onto the new buys...<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070602.jpg"><br />Long tee from New Look.<br />Awesome for layering, especially with my fabulously big belt around the middle. Plus since all the newest styles are oversized, I can happily buy a size 8 or 10 and still have it fit. :) good times!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070603.jpg"><br />Silence & Noise Dress.<br />I needed a dress to wear with everything since I have school most days of the week up until May (scary that I'm finishing so soon!), so ensuring everything is super-versatile is essential. It's also really light & would look great with some ridiculously colourful patterned tights.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070604.jpg"><br />Hollister hoodie (again!)<br />My excuse is their luscious softness and great quality, as well as the fact that I got this one for £15 on clearance! They're perfect for staying late at the beach or in town in the summer, as they're warm but don't look out of place at all with a summery outfit.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070605.jpg"><br />H&M Skirt<br />I didn't think this skirt looked too exciting on the hanger, but it really does look better on! Normally black clothing is pretty insufferable in the hot weather, but the material's light enough to get away with wearing it in the summer.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070606.jpg"><br />Cute underwear!<br />My friend and I are having a minor competition as to who has the cutest underwear: so far I face competition from Pac-Man man pants. Then I saw these rainbow ruffly things and knew that whatever he gets, I have him beaten.<br /><br /><b>Have you started planning your summer wardrobe yet?</b>Becky C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09227769889761681288noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199688692233011712.post-68099192127270332122010-02-18T19:23:00.003+00:002010-02-18T19:33:02.887+00:00TFT #12!<center><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/5764401201234_Ivory_m1.jpg"><br /><font size=1><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/Butterfly-Plastic-Bangle/invt/5764401201234&bklist=icat,5,shop,womens,womensaccessories,braceletspins#">Butterfly Plastic Bangle - £4.99</font></a><br /></center><br /><br />Mix up your summer accessories with a super-pretty butterfly bangle from Urban Outfitters - pile your arms high with different colours, textures and prints of fabulous wrist candy.

And you can't exactly say no when they're cheap.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070258.jpg"><br />Topshop heart necklace in support of <a href="http://galadarling.com/article/the-playgirls-guide-to-radical-self-love">Radical Self Love month</a>! Bought second-hand on Ebay for £1.76 plus P&P. Cuteness indeed.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070259.jpg"><br />Also Topshop and also bought on Ebay second-hand, think I paid around £6 for it. It's a super-on-trend matte black - I've seen so many gold and silver ones, but not black!<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070261.jpg"><br />If you like to have massive shops to yourself in order to try on funky accessories and trendy clothing, I highly recommend visiting Hereford on a weekday morning - the place was deserted! And considering the generous '20% off one item' promotion which H&M have been running lately, it's a great excuse to invest in some unashamedly ostentacious accessories like this netted bow headband I managed to get on Friday. Unfortunately the pink faux-suede lining of my handbag has rubbed off on it so it's covered in tiny pink fluffy bits! <br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070260.jpg"><br />THE Panda Hat! Ok, I admit it, I caved. But it's so cute and warm! I've been wearing it pretty much non-stop since I bought it.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070262.jpg"><br />Velvet leggings from H&M, again bought at reduced price with the promotional discount. I don't know what I'm going to wear with these, but they're fantastic.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070263.jpg"><br />Two scarves from A-Wear which I plan to wear together: one is lacy and the other has tiny hippie-ish bobbles along the edges. Not what I'd usually pick, but I have plans for them. :)</center><br /><br />Among the more mundane purchases, I also bought some M&S socks with a leftover gift card, plus a free bamboo flannel from the Body Shop with a promotional Telegraph voucher! I have to admit that it was an excellent deal.<br /><br /><b>What've you bought this week?</b>Becky C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09227769889761681288noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199688692233011712.post-80331134161517023372010-02-13T19:02:00.002+00:002010-02-13T19:08:56.659+00:00New Blazer ♥FINALLY got the blazer I'd been lusting after for months! ♥<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070228.jpg"><br /><br />It's an Aeropostale blazer, funnily enough!

I also bought my nan the same one in fuschia so we have matching grandmother-and-grandaughter scarves :)<br />Necklace: Miss Selfridge<br />Jumper: Hello Kitty at H&M<br />Playsuit: Topshop<br />Tights: H&M<br />Shoes: Primark! I couldn't get my boots on due to wearing thick knit tights, thermal leggings and extra-thick socks all at the same time.

As in rush-around-in-a-mad-frenzy-for-your-credit-card excellent before ordering amazing pieces you probably shouldn't buy but can't resist anyway. I had originally planned to enforce my nan's cunning plan in shopping - buy everything you love and take back everything you can't realistically afford - but I really can't see myself taking any of these back. <br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070224.jpg"><br />Amazing hooded cardigan that was almost sold out; unfortunately there were only sizes 6-10 left. I went for a size 10 and it's a little on the small side, but you can't exactly turn something you fall in love with down, can you?<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070225.jpg"><br />THE jacket, with the fabulous fringed scarf. Such a lovely scarf. <br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070226.jpg"><br />Front detail!<br /><br />I also kind of want some of the incredible shoes they have, though I should probably wait until I get a job or something so I can afford them.Becky C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09227769889761681288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199688692233011712.post-59987795143780728742010-02-07T19:42:00.004+00:002010-02-07T19:55:29.276+00:00SS10 Mood BoardAs previously mentioned, the new trends for spring and summer of 2010 look to be absolutely divine. Cream, florals, lace and ruffles give a subtle Victoriana touch to many of the latest high street collections, making everything delightfully feminine yet comfortable, perfect for summer picnics, beach days and adventures. I'm loving the light, delicate fabrics and creams with pinks..so pretty!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/summer_10_style_love/set?.embedder=438443&.mid=embed&id=15702986"><img width="400" alt="Summer '10 Style Love" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFmRxNjM0QVVSM3hHLU1HR210amVMRWcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="Summer '10 Style Love" height="400" border="0" /></a><br/><small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/summer_10_style_love/set?.embedder=438443&.mid=embed&id=15702986">Summer '10 Style Love</a> by <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?.embedder=438443&.mid=embed&id=438443">Superbeckyy</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/topshop/shop?brand=TopShop">TopShop </a></small></div><br /><br /><b>What are your favourite pieces and styles for SS10?

February is one of those unfortunately dreary months, so it's more important than ever to keep ourselves feeling positive and inspired. Here are the Inspired tips for this month:<br /><br /><b>1. Catch up with <a href="http://galadarling.com/article/the-playgirls-guide-to-radical-self-love">The Playgirl's Guide To Radical Self-Love</a> at <a href="http://www.galadarling.com">iCiNG</a>.</b> There hasn't been a better month to get back in touch with the most gorgeous, amazing, talented person in your life - yourself. Be your own Valentine every day: keep checking Gala's blog for the latest in tips for achieving ultimate self-love and self-adoration.<br /><br /><b>2. Take advantage of all the heart-shaped Valentine's-exclusive goodies around.</b> Heart-shaped lollipops, the cheesiest greeting cards, yummy chocolate covered strawberries..stock up now! My favourite Valentine's items have been a black chunky biro with coloured hearts all over and a glittery red gel pen with sequin hearts floating inside. So pretty!<br /><br /><b>3. Book your tickets to <a href="http://www.londonfashionweekend.co.uk/">London Fashion Weekend</a> before they sell out.</b> I wanted to go last time but sadly couldn't make it..therefore I need to go this year! I have to admit I haven't been before, but it's the next best thing to the industry-only LFW shows so it's got to be amazing. You can't say no to up to 70% off of some of the <a href="http://www.londonfashionweekend.co.uk/designer-discounts-preview/">gorgeous items</a> on offer.<br /><br /><b>4. Redecorate your room.</b> Especially if February's left you feeling a little rubbish, something as small as a new piece of art or a new set of patterned sheets can give your bedroom a fresh facelift. Check out <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/ourbedrooms/">ourbedrooms @ Livejournal</a> for fantastic room decorations belonging to beautiful people around the world. <br /><br /><b>5. Go swimming.</b> It's probably too cold to go back into the sea yet, but swimming can be so relaxing: exercise is great for helping to think things over as well as enabling your body to look and feel amazing. Visit an indoor pool on a weekday morning to avoid crowds and screaming children. <br /><br /><b>6. Invest in some second-hand books.</b> Use <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk">Amazon</a> to check similar authors of your favourite titles and seek out their novels on <a href="http://books.shop.ebay.co.uk/Fiction-Books-/377/i.html?_catref=1">Ebay</a> or your favourite charity shop.<br /><br /><b>7. Plan an extra-long holiday for this summer.</b> Summer seems so far away, yet it can seem horribly daunting if you have several months ahead of doing relatively nothing, so why not plan to stay in your favourite country, state or city for a few weeks (or months)? Personally I'm not a fan of the traditional 10-day holiday as everything always seems so rushed - stay with a friend or family member and take time to enjoy the life around you in a whole different part of the world.<br /><br /><b>8. Buy Valentine's cards for your best friends.</b> Even if you're looking to be single this V-day, no-one says you can't spread the Valentine's love between friends as well as partners and write some extra-special cards for your friends as well as your crush - let them know how much you appreciate them!<br /><br /><b>9. Plan an extravagant dinner at your favourite restaurant.</b> Whether you're into lobster or Subway, ask a friend out one night for a delightfully over-the-top evening out at your favourite eatery. Even if you're just having pizza, it's a fun excuse to dress stunningly and catch up with someone.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/title.png"><br /><br />Adding to my usual ideas list for my Inspired segment, I wanted to share some gorgeous images I've compiled over the month.

Topshop have a denim miniskirt every season, but people don't really wear them anymore. Figured as since shorts aren't allowed at school, I could reinvent it as a decent substitute.<br />Tights: H&M<br />Boots: Doc Martens! ♥ I figured I can wear them with skirts as my legs are super-long anyways.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/P1070119.jpg"><br />In case you've ever wondered what the back of my head looks like. The back of the hoodie has a giant eagle on it in a lighter colour with small gold studs all over and the word 'Royalty' above it in tattoo lettering. I love it. :)Becky C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09227769889761681288noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199688692233011712.post-46628780558650022242010-01-21T21:04:00.004+00:002010-01-21T21:16:39.508+00:00TFT #11!Welcome to the 11th edition of the wonderful TFT, bringing pieces of fashion love and joy to your computer screens, each featured piece costing under a mere £10.<br /><br /><center><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Beckixx/Blog%20Pix/topshoplargeheartopaquetights.png"><br /><font size=1><br /><a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=true&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=124915&parent_category_rn=124912&productId=1570521&langId=-1">Topshop Large Heart Opaque Tights - £10</a></font><br /></center><br /><br />Hearts, hearts and more hearts! I'm seeing gorgeous hearts everywhere lately, from shorts to jewelry to shoes and I'll never be able to have enough. Show your adoration for the majestic heart by adorning your lovely legs with them.
