Autumn Fashion

HOLA!

I do send my dearest apologies to you all because I have been a bad person, I haven't blogged in ages! The embarrassment I have. SO to make it up to you all I will make (try to make) a super doper wooper good blog.

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE autumn and winter. I just can’t be dealing with this hot weather in summer- ain’t nobody got time for dat. And I mainly love autumn and winter because of the weather and I also love it because of the fashion. Who doesn't love big thick jumpers and winter coats? So I thought ooo I know lets do a little ‘Autumn Fashion Blog’. Anyway enough babbling let me commence…

I have been looking EVERYWHERE I mean EVERYWHERE for a winter coat. I’ve looked in New Look, Zara, River Island, H&M the list is endless but I found my true love in Topshop. I’ve never really owned a ‘proper’ winter coat and I wanted a parka with fur- quite simple and basic. But I had a specific one in mind and I happened to find it in Topshop. I bought this one-

Yes it is very pricey and more than I was looking to spend. But I wanted one that will last long and one that I will wear everywhere. I do understand that it is a lot of money and not everyone will be willing to spend that  much so I have found a duplicate in New Look that is cheaper.

You’re all probably thinking now why didn't I buy the one in New Look. Well… I didn't buy it because I thought that the one in Topshop was better material and would last me about 5 years rather 1-2!

Another thing I love love love is jumpers and am a sucker for any Christmas jumpers (yes I’ve mentioned Christmas but it’s only 57 Sleeps away YAYAYYY!) or just any jumper. I absolutely love jumpers from New Look because they are reasonably priced and so cosy and cute! However I love Topshop and Zara knitwear too. I usually buy my ‘normal’ jumpers from Topshop and my ‘festive’ ones from New Look.

However Topshop have brought out a super super cute Halloween jumper that I am defo eyeing up to buy-

I mean how can you not love it! I’m not a big fan of the colour black and I don’t like wearing it but I may make an exception. I’m now looking on clothing websites and squeeling over the cuteness of the Christmas jumpers AWWWWWWWWWW.

Something that’s very autumnal are sweaters or long sleeves shirts. My first shop I go to for these essentials is Zara because Zara do them at very reasonable prices too!

http://www.zara.com/uk/en/trf/t-shirts-c269214.html I’ve just copied the link to the main page because I couldn’t pick out individuals I love, I love them all!!

These are only a few suggestions for some essentials in your autumn wardrobe so please don’t feel like you have to but them- I hate telling people what to wear because I think ‘wear what you like-don’t be influenced by other people’. Like I said these are only suggestions in case you don’t know how to kick starting your autumn wardrobe.

Anyway I best go now さようなら (that's goobye in japanese ooo how fancy am I)

Lots of Love

Bucket List:Paris

HOLA!

Or should I say bonjour?!(if you pardon the pun). I thought that each month I could do a little ‘series’ about one thing on my bucket list, so this first blog about my bucket list is going to be about the number one thing on my list- going to PARIS!

I’m not too entirely sure why I want to go to Paris so badly I guess it’s just how it's so beautiful and perfect. As well I just love how it’s so naturally beautiful and how it changes each season yet still looks mesmerizing. (Ooo good word Abbie!) I am so desperate to go to Paris that whenever I daydream I think about what I would do/where I would visit. Yes I have already planned my trip (how sad am I).

So let me tell you about my trip that hopefully one day I shall experience (DON’T JUDGE ME PLEASE). Me and my family would stay in a cute boutique hotel on the outskirts of the main part of Paris and each morning we would have breakfast at a little café near our hotel because French cuisine is simply wonderful! And then of course we would have to visit the main attractions: Eiffel Tower, Love Lock Bridge/Pont de l'Archevêché, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe/Avenues de champs elysee! HOW EXCITING! When I go to Paris/if I ever go to Paris I would love to go in winter because then I could wear lots of layers and jumpers and who doesn’t love to layer-plus it’s super beautiful then!

I mean how can you not love it! However I feel like it's time for me to go on I just ramble and ramble I think it's worrying how much I talk sometimes. 

Au revoir 

Beaucoup d'amour (how clever am I?!)

Being Happy

HOLA!

Well hello there my beautiful internet friendlings. I am back on my blog yet again, yes it hasn't been a week it has only been 24 hours but I felt as though my first blog wasn't a proper blog it was just an introduction so you could call this 'Chapter One' (or if you'd like my first real blog). 

I have been told a lot that I am a happy person and I get told/asked 'Abbie, are you ever sad?' or 'Abbie how are you always so happy?' someone even said to me in art on Monday 'Abbie it's Monday morning how are you so happy and awake?' So with me being bombarded with these questions a little light bulb went off in my head *ding* and I thought WHY NOT MAKE A BLOG. So here I am (am I the only one singing the Victorious theme tune now?). Anyway I shall commence...

You are never taught at school how to be happy because you have to find out what makes you happy and you have to just think happy. Some people may be thinking but I don't know what makes me happy or I don't know how you can think happy. Well here's what helps. It may take you a long time to figure out what makes you happy, you may think that you keep on making mistakes or that you keep on messing things up but you are never making a mistake you are simply having lessons. So now lets erase the word 'mistake' from you vocabulary and replace it with 'lesson'. Each lesson you are having is a lesson closer to finding out what makes you happy. You now may be thinking what makes me happy, well... life in general makes me happy. I have no reason to be sad no reason at all so I don't see the point in me being sad. I always have a bad day once in a while, everyone does, but I try to turn it around. I just pause things for a moment and think of every reason i should be happy and every reason i should be sad, I end up having a gazillion reasons to be happy and no reasons to be sad so why should I waste a day being upset and miserable when the good things outweigh the bad? 

Now let me get on to how to think happy. I understand bad things happen in life and there are hurdles you have to face but just think that each hurdle you are facing in life, the closer you are to discovering who you really are- you become stronger from it. As well there is ALWAYS a positive to every negative you may think pfft no there is not. Well yes there is and if you can't think of a positive just think of the reasons you should be happy and compare them to the reasons on why you should be sad and guess what, you're as happy as larry again.

This all may be a lot to take in at one time. So I shall now do my '10 top tips on how to be happy':

1. There is always a positive to every negative.

2. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best of you.

3. Learn to love yourself- this may be very hard at first but once you do you never look back.

4. Things could be worse e.g. today my brother was complaining how he had to work a 6 hours shift so I said 'it could be worse' he asked me how so I simply replied 'You could be working a 7 hour shift with a less hourly rate pay' that definitely put things into perspective.

5. Take a step back from things when it's getting hard and think of the good things going on in your life and then compare them to the bad. The good things overshadow the bad.

6. Don't compare yourself to anyone because you are just as good as them but just in different ways.

7. Love, Live, Laugh. Love- find out what you love and never let go of it. Live- Be happy because you are alive, you are beautiful and you are a one of a kind, no one is like you , you're special. Laugh- Apparently laughing makes you live longer so why not!

8. Everything happens for a reason

9. Never doubt yourself. The word impossible is two letters too long, you never know unless you try.

10. Say yes, you never know what happens. I say yes to everything I can because you have been given the opportunity so grab it while you can (again am I the only who has started to sing everyday from high school musical?), i'm sure it will be great.

 

Thank you so much for reading sorry if it's too long or too serious (if ya get meh) but I hope this can help you somehow.

Lots of Love

Hola!

HOLA!
Well hello there, what a surprise to see you here! (sorry for the cringeyness I have always wanted to say it and thought this could be the perfect opportunity-obviously not). ANYWAY... I thought my first blog post may just be a little in sight on me and my life.

Hi i'm Abbie. I am 14 years old and I am currently in Year 10 at school. I started this blog because i wanted somewhere to share my ideas and thoughts with people, a bit like a diary I guess! (except a LOT less personal). I wanted my blogs to be different to everyone else's already so mine will be about anything, literally anything. I will try and create a blog that takes everyone's interest because I think that's the best way for things to relate to you. You may (probably not) be wondering what my interests are. Well... I like to say 'I get the best of both worlds' (just to let you know i am not Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, oh how I would love to be) sorry I always go off on a tangent, I love sports and love any sport from dance to football or netball to swimming however i also love fashion and beauty and i always find myself on the internet watching Zoella's, TanyBurr's and SprinkleOfGlitter's latest fashion/beauty video or reading their latest blog and I dream of becoming as successful as they are because it seems FAB U LOUS! (if you say that like Louie Spence its sounds a lot better). I also aspire to be a singer but i am the worst singer I and my friends/family/teachers know- I actually got banned from singing in ICT. I think it's time for me to end my blog now because I am probably boring you all , i apologies. I really hope you enjoyed this blog and will come back next week for another one!

Lots of Love
