I've moved!!!

I've moved over to tumblr. I doubt i'll ever post here again. I can't really work out this blogger lark. Well, i can, but i prefer to just post photos/text/videos/links etc as individual posts. Much easier.

It's a good 'n :)

“I think you’re beautiful, but I wouldn’t fuck you because when we were done, I wouldn’t want you to feel fucked. I would try to make love to you, and I would probably be clumsy and awkward, but when it was over, I would want you to feel loved.”- James Frey

Birds

Birds are so beautiful. I think quite alot of people have a thing for birds though. Like Kate Nash sang: 'Birds can fly so high and they can shit on your head, they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel well scared. But when you look at them and you see that they're beautiful, that's how I feel about you'

Blythe Dolls

I'm not sure why, but Blythe Dolls capture me straight away. I'm not sure if it's the need to be an innocent young girl again, or the strange proportions, but I am in love.

Ballons, Boys (http://strawberrylaces.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post_17.html), Beds, Bagels, Berries, Braclets, Books, Bookshelves, Bird Cages.....

Oh the list could go on forever and a day....

B

Things I rather love beginning with 'B'.....

Bat for Lashes, Belle & Sebastian, Black Kids, Bloc Party, Blondie, Blood Red Shoes, Blur, Brand New and Broken Social Scene.

I went to see Blood Red Shoes last year and they really were rather lush. They played some new songs for their new tour, but i wish i knew what they were called because they were simply introduced as 'New Song Two'. Hopefully a new gem of an album will be along soon.

Bento

I studied Japanese for five years, which probably explains my love for all things Japanese, but Bento really are quite sparkling. I'm going to purcase my own soon (i'm thinking a hello kitty bento?) and fill it with rice and the like in funky shapes. Flickr has loads of funky designs that people have made (i particularly like anime design bentos) but i thought i'd go for a spring bunny, seeing as it's spring, and bunny begins with B.

A (Pt. Two)

It's still day one, day 'A'.

I wrote that because it rhymes and it made me chuckle :L

More things I love beginning with 'A' coming right up....

About A Boy, Amelie, Atonement, Alice in Wonderland, American Beauty

How i wish to snuggle up with a loved one and go on a movie marathon of my favourite films beginning with 'A'.

It's occured to me I have to go babysit soon. I will return, probably with artistists, photographers and band beginning with 'A'.

A (Pt. One)

Everyday I plan to bring you my favourite things beginning with a new letter every day. Interesting huh?

And as today is the day I invented this sparkling plan, i'll begin.....at the beginning.

The letter A.

Alice In Wonderland Jewellery

Alice In Wonderland is most positively my faourite and my best book/films. I love the surreal nature, I love the blue dresses and croquet. I love the idea of an eccentric rabbit and a tea party and a mirror. Etsy is often a fond place of mine, and 'Alice in wonderland' is a pretty frequent search. Alice in wonderland homemade jewellery is a little bit special. Here's some of my favourites:
