Maxed out.

Serious love for maxi skirts this winter, floaty ones, heavy ones, bright ones, black ones but all teamed with my trusty leather jacket. It may even take over from tights and denim shorts as my favourite winter look, shock horror.

This is the amazing mint green American Apparell number I have spoken about and my lovely friend Lucy (in the middle) is wearing a Topshop navy blue number that crosses over and rises at the front.  I will be borrowing.

I ran away to my Mom's again this weekend and got treated to a gorgeous leopard print shirt form...wait for it...New Look! This is said shirt...



Afraid I'll be teaming this with the faithful black tights and high waisted shorts and no doubt my converse.

Enjoy the errrrrr heatwave everyone :s

Added extras.

I totally lost my mind and forgot to blog two things. First and foremost Labrinth's new absolute banger of a tune 'Earthquake'. I am in love with this guy, so freakin' talented. He produces, plays, writes, sings everything. A true artist. Get listening, like NOW...

Also, shooooooooes. Rumi Neely blooged these Burberry creepers and I adore them. If only I could learn to save money and buy myself amazing treats like these or find a sugar daddy that could buy them for me, either way would be fine.

Getting on...

I've finished rehearsals with my lovely band now so have had this weekend to celebrate...any excuse! I took myself down to my Mother's to get treated to dinner then off to London for a spiffing Birthday party. Two of my school friends turned 25, EEEEK!! They hired out the upstairs of The Ten Bells pub in Shoreditch. It was a really fun night, lots of old faces there from different parts of our lives, though starting at 7.30pm was a bit of a shock as by 9pm everyone was a state. I witnessed full glasses of wine getting dropped, brilliant falling over, terrible dancing and tears....hilarious. It seemed we accidentally had a dress code too, most of us ladies had some form of high waisted maxi skirt on, how very East London of us. Don't have a picture of my outfit yet, but will blog when I do. My mint green, see through, American Appaz maxi is my purchase of the year at the mo.

Sticking with the theme of school friends, I have finally seen the photos of my friend Jazzy Fizzle's wedding day in Canada. She looked absolutley unreal, I sat sobbing at my laptop and saying 'I'm gonna frame that one, and that one, and that one, oh and that one etc' like a true Bridget Jones type saddo. Just look at her though....

Music wise this week I have been mostly listening to Delilah- Go and Kreayshawn- Gucci Gucci. Kreayshawn has been a fave of mine for a while and I'm liking that she's finally in the UK promoting, her lyrics are smart and sassy...'Gucci, Gucci, Louis, Louis, Fendi, Fendi, Prada. Basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother.' I love this line and would love to quote it at a few girls I know. Also, Delilah's shoes in the vid are rather wonderful.

My milkshake brings Kelis to the yard.

So, I haven't blogged in an absolute age!! I've been away on my jolly's with Mother to Marbella. Had a sweet ass time, just eating, sleeping, sunbathing and enjoying a few cheeky cocktails. Serious bonding time with my Ma was lovely and well needed. It was my Birthday while we were in Marbs and I just so happened to bump into the beautiful Kelis! She was really lovely and obliged me a picture with her. It was her Birthday the day before mine and with our names being so similar some may say it was meant to be. Unfortunatley she didn't ask me to tour with her, which was dissappointing, but there's time.

Since returning from Espana I have started rehearsals singing with a show band. We're rehearsing and recording our demo video over the next two weeks and then wait for the work to come flooding in......errrrrm hopefully. I have around 3,000,000 lyrics to learn, but instead am blogging. Ooops. I need to talk about the MOBO nominations too, so here goes. Pretty pleased with everyone that's been nominated, Jessie J, Adele and Tinie were bound to get a lot of nominations and well deserved I'd say. The Best Newcomer list is just like a list of my favourite artists at the moment, so Lord knows how I'm gonna be able to cast a vote! Here's the list if you haven't seen it...

ED SHEERAN
WRETCH 32
JESSIE J
RIZZLE KICKS
EMELI SANDE
JAMIE WOON
YASMIN
ALEX CLARE
LOICK ESSIEN
MAVERICK SABRE

I have a feeling Ed will get it, but I would love to think Jamie Woon stands a chance. Obviously my girl Yasmin looked absolutley amazing at the nominations party and the girls from Belle Amie looked pretty fly too. I spent a week in Wembley with the girls at Bootcamp last year and they're all pretty darn nice so pleased to see them doing well, but if they ever need a fourth member again, I am available. Promise I'll be better at blogging in September. Big Love.
