FOREVER 21.

Why didn't someone inform me of this website sooner!? It's like the American Primark, but the clothes are actually amazing. I've been picking out everything thing I want for my holiday to Tenerife with Bernie (She's a right babe!), it's gonna be amazing! The website is clear and easy to use, here's a simple tour of it:

1) This is the homepage. It shows you the latest trends, collection and news, and also has a simple, and easy to navigate, navigation bar. The layout is clear, but the advertising banner catches your eye, attracting you the latest collection, 'The Good Life'.


2) The drop down menus are handy as they save space and allow you to see the relevant categories stored neatly under one heading. To show you this I have hovered over 'Tops' under the heading 'Apparel'.


3) Now I am on 'Tops' you can see the latest clothes at the top of the page, with options to order the tops by newest, low prices and high prices, at the bottom of the page there is also an option to view all, which comes in handy as you don't have to keep clicking through the pages. As you can see, the prices are already fairly cheap, even with the new products.


4) Here I have scrolled down the page to a random selection of tops from the website. The tops are of a wide variety, and suitable for all occasions, from casual wear to more formal occasions, Forever 21 has clothes that suit every purpose. I personally love their casual wear and quirky slogan T-shirts, they're great for wearing with jeans for lounging about, or hanging out with your friends, but I also think they'd look equally cute tucked into a skirt for going out and other similar purposes.


If only they'd build a shop near here! For now, the website will do me, but I hope they make plans for the future. To finish, here is a dress I would love to buy for my holiday from this website, I'm also looking for an outfit for the X Factor tour, so Forever 21, here I come!


Later guys x

THE GREEN BEE.

*HORNET. I had a great time at my friend Sophia's party! We went to see The Green Hornet and it's such a good film! Seth Rogen is hilarious in it, really, I laughed so much! Especially on some rather dirty sexual innuendos... Anyway! Here's a picture of all my friend's looking rather sexy at the party (This was after, when we were staring out of the window at Xscape looking for hot guys!)


(Damn you Joe for blinking!)

Danielle 'sexy' Brear had left by the time this picture was taken, so I'm just gonna post a picture of her looking sexy to make up for it ;)


(Biatch, why you so sexy.)

My friends are complete retards, but I love them, and 2011 is gonna be great year as long as they're in it!

On the subject of 2011, here's some pictures of the fireworks I saw! only 2 because my battery died :(



Later guys x



VAJAZZLED...

LOL JK, I got my nose pierced! It didn't hurt much, just felt like a prick! I love it, although I am scared to sneeze... Oh well, 6 weeks and I can get a ring, and sneeze!

Here's a couple of pictures:





(I look stupid on these pictures, but at least you can see the piercing!)

WISH LIST.

Everybody wants too much. Really, I can't think of anyone that doesn't want anything they can't afford! What better way for a girl to get a bit too excited by making an impossible list of everything she wants. Some things she'll get, but no, most things she wont get. I thought I'd give you a taste of what goes on in my head when I walk through Meadowhall with a reasonable amount of money that still doesn't get me far, at least stalking hot guys is free!

Obviously the camera I want - Sony Alpha A290 - is on here! I'm saving up for it, so I think it's probably the only thing on this list I'll get considering I wont be able to buy anything else while saving for this. (Jessops)



Petite Navaho Knitted Cardi - I really want his cardigan, and have for ages, it's just too expensive (£60)! (Topshop)


Sleeveless Checked Vest - Mmmm beautiful. I love this, I love shirts and sleeveless things - perfect mix. Just brill. Absolutely brill. (Topshop)


There are a few bath bombs, bubble bars and shower gels that I want from Lush but the website has been hacked (boooo!) and has had to be temporarily shut down, so I can't show you them!

Zahra Leopard Coat - I also love this coat from boohoo, and it's only £40! Which isn't bad for a coat like this, it's be £80 if it was in Topshop. And it's 15% off but I'm not gonna bother working that out...



Beige Print Doctor's Bag - I also really need a new bag, mine is falling to pieces (and it was expensive -.-). This bag is sexy and big, so I want it, enough said really.


I think I'll do another wish list sometime in the future, that's enough for now! Of course there are loads more things I want, but I couldn't fit them all on a list if I tried! Later guys x

CHANGE OF PLANS.

Those extra posts will be added tomorrow because I am sooooo tired, and my brain just will not function properly when I'm tired. Happy blogging tomorrow! Ooooh


(A completely irrelevant picture, but it's just a pretty butterfly I saw at Chester Zoo!)

SORRY GUYS.

I apologise for slacking off a bit, I haven't blogged for two days. I'm sure nobody would miss me blogging, but I like to keep on top of things, and keep up with things! So to apologise I'm gonna do a long apology that will make you cry. Ha, just kidding. I'm just gonna do three posts today! This one does not count as the first one, the first one will be a wish list and at some point I'll do a mood of the day, then the other one is a surprise until later.


(I hope this rather beautiful picture of the sexiest god damn band in the world makes up for it)


Later guys x

MOOD OF THE DAY.

Why hello there you terrible blogger, you haven't posted since Friday, shame on you. It's been too long since I've posted! Having no internet for a weekend sucks when you've just moved house. This weekend I'm gonna go with stressed as a mood. I hate unpacking cardboard boxes full of my crap, it's very, very stressful.


(This picture made me laugh, I just had to use it)

MOOD OF THE DAY.

Does Bieber Fever count as a mood? Because honestly, I just suddenly love Justin Bieber. I blame Danielle and/or CSI. This is a sad post, and I never expected to post it, but it has to be done. I... have... Bieber Fever.


(This is a sad day for me, but I have to accept it.)

NEW HOME BABY.

So I moved house today, if you've read my previous posts you'd probably know that, but I'll say it anyway! My new home is awesome. The conservatory is massive, I love it! My bedroom still looks like a garage, but that will change when it's converted, and I just found out I'll have to walk through a cupboard to get to my bedroom, Narnia much? I posted a picture of how I wanted my bedroom, but I'm open to suggestions, any ideas?



Also, I'm doing a textiles project on the Navajo Indians so I just wondered if anyone knew where to get leather fringing, faux suede and Navajo inspired fabric, also buttons and ribbons etc, but I was gonna get them from Hobbycraft. Anybody know a shop or a website where I can get some from? Please post a link! x


(Now that is one cool dude.)

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Don't worry, this isn't going to be another rant about how everybody is beautiful no matter how big or small they are. I just wanted to post a few examples of true beauty, and how it can vary in size and shape.


Beauty isn't always skeletal, this woman is a plus size supermodel. Crystal Renn is gorgeous and proof size doesn't matter.


Beauty isn't always about the obvious. Art is beauty, therefore creativity is beauty. If you follow the herd, you'll end up under the stampede. 


Beauty isn't always inside the box, sometimes it's about having the confidence to express who you are and not care what people think. It's your life, you make what you want from it.





Beauty IS everywhere.

MOOD OF THE DAY.

For yesterday, the day before and today. Is it weird to be in the same mood three days in a row? God, I must be well creative. Well that's my mood; creative.


(Note: I used a picture of a camera because that is when I feel most creative, when doing what I love. Photography.)

MOVING ON.

Yesterday, as you know, I didn't post a mood of the day. This is because I was so busy packing I never got round to it! The reason why I'm packing? I'm moving house on Friday! It's pretty exciting as I'm getting my own room, which will be a garage conversion (hell yeah, biggest room) and a blank canvas to decorate. I'll post my mood of the day soon, and it will be a joint mood for yesterday and today, as I'm feeling the same thing; creative. Here's a picture of my dream bedroom:


(God, if you love me you will give me this bedroom, please?)

I LOVE MY CAT.


I didn't manage to capture his eyes that well, but I think it is a good example of a 'faceless portrait'. His whiskers are amazing, aww, I love Tate.

MOOD OF THE DAY.

I was exhausted yesterday so I didn't post one! Ohdeaaaar. But I will post yesterday's today, and always today's.

Yesterday: I was feeling pretty exhausted, I don't know why, maybe it's just one of those Sunday things.


Today: I've been pretty happy today. (I know, boring mood right?) It's just been a good day, seeing my friends, having a laugh at lunch with them. Alright lessons. Pretty good I must say.


(This is a happy picture for me, as it is a great memory made by great people)

SELLING MAH BABY.

I'm going to sell my Fujifilm finepix S1800 bridge camera so I can save up money to buy this beast of a DSLR:
When I get it up for sale on Amazon I will post a link for any of you that are interested.
(This is the camera I am selling by the way, just so I didn't confuse you)

SELF PORTRAIT.


Bright lipstick and edgy hair makes me feel confident. As long as I like my appearance, nothing else matters. I will not change my make-up, my hair, my style or my weight for anyone. So suck on that Kenneth Tong, anorexia should not be promoted. If you don't know who this is, look up @MrKennethTong on twitter. He strongly promotes size 0 and I think it's wrong. You shouldn't have to be told how thin you should be, your weight should be a personal choice. Obviously with your health in mind. Just remember girls, Beauty isn't skeletal, it's having the confidence to admit you're not perfect.

JAZZING UP MY NOSE.


It's official. My mum is letting me have my nose pierced. I'd love a ring like on the picture, but I just don't know how I'm going to last six weeks in school without being asked to take it out. Any ideas?

MOOD OF THE DAY.


I'm feeling like a paintbrush. Creative. Colourful. Hard-working. I started my final piece for my exams today in Art, and I've got quite a lot done, I'm really proud of myself. My arty mood matches that.

PHOTOBOOTH

''Photobooth'' shall be a daily list of my top 5 photographs for that day. When I get more followers I'll start asking for you to suggest themes, then I will pick my top 5 based around that. If you would like a photo featured, email it to me at abzellen@hotmail.co.uk or you could suggest some photographs taken by others. So here are my top five:


5. I love her eyes, they are beautiful, and there is just something mysterious about this photo.


4. This picture is rather simple, but the lighting and mood works fantastically with the colours, it's brilliant simplicity.


3. I love the quirky-ness of the sofa in the middle of nowhere. This photo also displays great composition as well.


2. The colour and the feel of an eerie romance in this picture works perfectly. It's rather beautiful in fact.


1. I love the blurring in this picture, it really captures the movement and still looks attractive. It's a really clever composition, and that colour of the dress stands out beautifully.

So there you go, my top five photos today, more will be posted tomorrow, enjoy!

MOOD OF THE DAY.


I'm feeling like a leaf. Productive. Leaves are always photosynthesising and always producing energy. I feel as though a lot has been accomplished today, my new blog is going well after all.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

''vanité fleuriront'' means ''vanity will bloom''. In my eyes, such a vain approach is distasteful. However, vanity is exactly what this world needs right now, with all the self-esteem shattering I believe people need to look in the mirror and like it. No, love it. If you don't like yourself, how could you even begin to believe someone likes you? Love is not a kind thing to us girls. But if you think someone is lying or joking in their opinion of your appearance, then love is just going to punch you in the face. A sad truth, but an honest one. I'm a big believer in inside beauty, personalities will always triumph over looks in the end, but we need some confidence to re-assure ourselves that we are different, but we're OK with that. Genetics may not have been the kindest, but someone will love that. Someone is out there for all of us, someone who loves how you look, every flaw and every imperfection will be the thing they love most. All you under-average girls, your day will come. You just need patience. You're all beautiful, no matter what the haters say. Just be vain. At least then, you know you're beautiful.
