Loving You Tonight - Andrew Allen

I came across this video accidently on youtube, and fell in love with it. It's been stuck in my head all week (along with hey soul sister, the glee version) so I thought I should share it with you guys. It makes me feel incredibly summery plus the lyrics are gorgeous. His voice is also amazing and so gorgeous. Although I don't think this song is yet available on itunes, look out for it because it should be soon.

A Little Bit About Milly

Here are my answers to the questions as promised. I know for some of the questions it completely looks like we copied each other, but we both wrote our answers to all the questions before showing the other, so the similarities are simple a coincidence. Enjoy :)
1. How and when did you meet? well i was in yr8, so i was 12 and hannah was in yr 7 so she was 11 and we get on the same bus for school. We have spent apsolutely ages trying to work out why one day we sat next to each other but can't remember.we just did and we were best friends ever since.
2. What's your favorite memory together? i don't really have a favourite memory but one time that was quite hilarious was when we we sat in the car on the way to hannah's house and her dad was driving and we just couldn't stop laughing. We'd stop for like a second and then we'd look at each other and start laughing all over again. Her dad thought we were quite weird from that moment on. Whatever we were laughing at it must have been really funny.
3. Describe each other in one word. Fabulous. Her clothes, her accesories,her shoes. She always looks fabulous and she has a fabulous personality! She is just a fabulous person and i'm so lucky to have her!
4. What's your dream job? at the moment my dream job would be a publisher, publishing books. i read a lot so it would be a pretty perfect job for me. It takes me 2 days to read a book that it takes hannah 2 months to read, its quite funny.
5. What's your favorite makeup brand? Most of Rimmel London is quite good, i couldn't live without my rimmel eyeliner, i wear quite a bit of clinique too, but i think my favourite would be Barry M because you can buy everything in every colour imaginable.
6. What is something that annoys you about the other person? It doesn't annoy me anymore, but it must annoy some people, hannah is constantly singing. She's not a bad singer in fact shes amazing, check out her youtube page, but she sings constantly. she's always getting songs stuck in my head. Also, she is quite annoying when watching films as she can't just and watch she constantly asking what's going to happen even if I haven't seen it before.
7. If you could go anywhere in the world together, where would it be and why? probably New York, it would be a completely amazing shopping trip. Plus we could go see all the shows. it would be amazing.
8. Favorite inside joke? well i liked this guy, well still like him actually and all i could think of that was bad about him was that he has a big nose. So whenever i get in a mood or rant about him she she just says "but remember he has a big nose" and then starts laughing histerically, which makes me laugh. Everyone around us thinks we are mad.
9. Who takes longer to get ready in the morning? I take longer on my face but hannah takes longer to choose what to wear and we both take quite long to doing her hair, she says she doesn't , but she does. So its probably equal.
10. Favorite season? spring and summer, i can't choose.
11. Favorite song? At the moment its stay the night but James blunt (it makes me feel summery)and the glee version of teenage dream and marry you.
12. What is it like being best friends with someone who is obsessed with clothes? Pretty awsome, it's really great when we go shopping coz she can help me choose clothes really easily.
13. Heels or flats? I where a lot of flats, i live in my converse but i'd have to say heels because they make your feet look pretty.
14. trousers or dresses? i wear jeans a lot but i'd always rather wear a dress than jeans. so dresses.
15. Favorite animal? pigs, they're so cute.
16. If your house was burning down, and your entire family was sure to be okay, what would you save and why? an extra hoodie?? Probably my ipod, because i generally don't go anywhere without it and i love it. Plus an extra hoodie just to be sensible as its cold outside.
17. Comedy, horror, or chick-flick? chick-flick all the way.
18. Blackberry or iPhone? i dont have either but i will say iphone to be different because hannah loves her blackberry.
19. Favorite movie? At the moment its a mixture of Pride and prejudice, the one with Keira Knightley and He's just not that into you. They are feel good films.
20. What is something weird that you eat? i don't think i eat anything thats really weird but both me and hannah eat hummus if you count that as weird.
21. Do you guys have anything matching? i think we have matching sunglasses and shorts from H&M.
22. What's your favorite TV show? um... currently on the tv it would probably be glee, i also love lark rise to candleford and misfits but my all time favourite would be gilmore girls.

I Am Number Four by Pitacus Lore


I bought this book recently and it took me less than 2 days to read it, it was that good. Although it is seen as a sci fi book, which is not normally my thing, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is can also sometimes be found in the childrens book section, however so was Harry Potter and the Twilight Saga, so don't let that put you off.

It's about a guy who's being hunted... him and nine others (now only 6 left ) are the only hope for the  survival of their planet ( I don't want to give too much away, but their not human)  It's full of action and adventure and it kept me gripped till the very end. It's also got love and friendship it an American High School.

There is planned to be more books, and this book is about to be released as a film. The film staring not only the gorgeous Alex Pettyfer as John Smith, but also Dianna Agron (or known to most of us as Quinn Fabray from Glee) as his love interest Sarah. I am very excited about this new film. It was released 23rd February, so quickly read the book and then go see the film.
Here's the trailer:


The book's amazing and it looks like the film will be to. Enjoy :)

The Six Nations


You make just think that I have gone mad, Rugby? whats so good about that?? But during the past couple of weeks I have been loving the six nations! The Six Nations being a rugby tornament including England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy (there are 6 of them, hint the SIX nations) Now your still probably thinking why would I want to waste my saturday afternoon watching the rugby. I'll tell you why - the men. Beafy guys in tight shorts running around and tackling each other, what girl wouldn't want to watch that??? I mean seriously. sometimes there's even a bit accident, someone starts bleeding coz they got punched in the face or someone breaks a bone.. its quite addictive and way more dangerous than football.

Now we have the why? sorted out now we move on to the what? and the how? Ok so most of you probably don't understand rugby, you probably don't even understand football (mentioning no names...uh Hannah!!) so I have found a quick and easy to understand girls guide to rugby. It's on a blog called Bookshelf Boyfriend and includes most you need to know about rugby. Heres the web address: http://www.bookshelfboyfriend.com/motoring/articles.php?article_id=176 However if you have no intention to actually understand the game then just sit and admire the muscles ;)

If you live in England all the games are available to watch live on the BBC. The list of all the games, times and dates can be found here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/4797831.stm. I believe some of the games are also available on BBC America or you can watch them at a later date on BBC iplayer : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

If you are now thinking about watching a bit of the six nations then there are plently more matches to go. Here is a clip of the highlights in the England Vs Wales game to get you started.



Enjoy :)

Next's Kitten Heels

At the moment Next have a gorgeous range of kitten heels, that I adore. Next generally has a good range of shoes, but these are really something.
As they are kitten heels, the heel is not too high, and therfore they are really comfortable to walk in for long periods of time. They are available in a range of styles, my favourites being , Bow Kitten Shoes (Navy) and Red Floral Print Kitten Heels, but I personally like them all.

I have bought the navy ones with a bow, but at only £25 I am thinking about buying another pair as well. These shoes look perfect with skirts if your dressing up but they also look amazing with jeans. They really add a classy touch to every outfit.

You can order these online from the next website:
http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/shoesandboots/42
or you can buy them from your nearest next store.

I hope you enjoy the shoes

Topshop

I love the simple necessities form Topshop at the moment, sometimes i think it is too expensive for vest tops however for £28.00 i have found the most stunning silk floaty tops:

Here is the top, they come in loads of colours for example:
Purple, Blue, Fuschia, coral, lemon, jade, pink, ginger, cream and mocha.
On the website it says you could put them with …

But i think you could put them with high waisted shorts, jeans a skirt the options are endless. Now all you have to do is chose your colour and you are sorted!!

Musical futures

A couple of weeks ago I applied for role of Musical Futures Champion; amazingly I was accepted ! was 1 out of 20 in the whole of the UK! On the 21st of January, I went on a training day. It included learning about what our role as a musical futures champion would be, this was to encourage young musical talent, who put their music up on a schools sight almost a safe version of YouTube called NUMU. We have to comment using lots of positives and encouragement but also constructive criticism to help the talent improve. The course consisted of some people explaining techniques about how to approach the people about their music, about how it would feel to get the feedback and being given the confidence and praise by your peers about your music. Personally I found it really helpful and inspiring to meet my fellow champions that managed to get to the final stages to talk to the young talent of today.
My friend's favourite song is Lucky by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz. It is truly beautiful and i highly recommend listening to it !
It was recently replayed by Glee ,so it has become a new playlist favourite !
I actually love it, its so cute its an acoustic duet about a couple. It really shows off both their voices and if you haven't heard Colbie Caillat's voice yet here's a couple of her best songs is Bubbly or Oxygen they are stunning!
