Hurry up Summer!!

Hi everyone,

I've been a bit bad and haven't blogged since last week, but I've had a good excuse as my boyfriend is down visiting me for a week!

Anyway, I'm sure its not just me, but all this sunshine we're getting in the last couple of days is getting be rather excited for summer! I'm already getting over excited and jumping to the naive conclusion that because the sun is out, I can get away with just a light jumper and open shoe....Early March sun is deceptive! But despite this its still so nice to have the sun shining compared to the horrid wet winter we had!

I just can't wait for a nice hot summer...but maybe I'm getting my hopes a little high - we do live in England of course!

Here is a list of my summer plans and wishes!

1) Fuerteventura in April with my boyfriend.

2) Girls holiday to Zante or Malia? (Anyone been and got a preference? )

3) V Festival, if i had get my hands on some tickets!

4) Reading festival

5) Dazed&Confused Intern-ship (Scary)

...and I'm sure there's many more that i have forgotten.

I want to be here now please!!

Gaga gone too far?

As most of you probably have noticed, Lady Gaga's new video is just a little bit over the top. Acting as some sort of queen alien who gives birth to many mini Gagas, who I think one is meant to be evil due to the skull?? She really has pushed the boundary of her already know out there persona. She regularly shocks the public in strange and bizarre outfits, such as her dress which was entirely made out of meat. She says that her new video for 'Born This Way,' was heavily influenced from one of her idols, Salvador Dali.

All I can say is, is this just a little bit to Gaga? Even for the lady herself? Have a look and see what you think - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV1FrqwZyKw

Junk Jewels

Just thought I'd show you a few pictures from 'junk jewels.' I saw their stand at clothes show live a couple of years ago and their jewellery is lovely. I brought a gorgeous gold necklace from them which had a pink rose on it and a tiny delicate butterfly. They do really cute pieces, which are very feminine and girlie. Check them out, http://www.junkjewels.co.uk/#/shop/4533407748

This is the kind of stuff they make. What do you think?

If only money grew on trees....

I'm having a minor problem at the moment, i have ZERO money and want SO many clothes. I keep browsing the net, websites such as ASOS, Topshop, Miss guided etc and i can't afford any of the stuff i want, nightmare of being a bloody student. Below are a couple of things that i have been dreaming about...

ASOS £35

Topshop £50

Topshop £50

Oh and then there's the small problem of really, really wanting to go to V festival as the line up looks AMAZING! Usually only go to Reading Festival as its my home town but this year I'm feeling a little braver. Then there's the girls holiday that i just have to go to, missing last years nearly killed me, worst thing ever. All this holiday talk is getting me very excited! eek.

Review - Black Swan

Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan is a twisted tale of a desperate ballerinas life to make it to the top, playing ‘swan queen’ in the dance schools production of ‘Swan Lake.’ Natalie Portman who plays the main character, Nina Sayers captures just the right amount of desperation and sexual naivety needed for this vulnerable character. Nina Sayers a young New York dancer fighting for Swan Queen, gets the part, but however the problem lies in the fact that she is perfect for the role of the white swan, capturing grace and innocence but struggles to portray the black swans passion and ragged poise, which fellow dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis) captures effortlessly.

The story develops into Nina making herself believe that Lily is plotting to take away the main role from her. The twisted and sexual relationship between Nina and Lily is electrifying, and reflects Nina’s sexual vulnerability in the film. Nina starts to trick herself making her think that she is not good enough for the role and starts to portray paranoia, developing mental health tendencies. This isn’t helped my her pushy and over protective mother whom is trying to live her long lived dream of being a dancer through her daughter. Nina starts to hallucinate, involving a scene with the dance mirrors where see sees herself turn around in the mirror but in reality she hadn’t.

Black Swan is an amazing movie, best I have seen in a long time. With its complicated and yet fascinating story line, involving desperation, vulnerability and sexual naivety it has all the right elements for a once in a life time film. Portman is the perfect choice to portray Nina’s under lying twisted issues. A dark tale with a hint of innocence making it even more dark, with elements of manipulation and corruption it truly is a beautiful film. Aronofsky has created this film brilliantly capturing the desperation and reality of dance and ambitions, showing the dangers of going too far for what you want. Truly excellent.
