#7 ❁ Neglect

Hey lovelies,

It's been a while hasn't it? over a month since my last post and as titled I've neglected you guys and this blog. But I'm back now and making a vow to both you and myself to post on a regular basis!

So, what did I miss out on...
Paris! of course! a 3 day weekend in the city of looooove. Extremely tiring with multiple hours on a coach and having awkward dietary needs but all taken with a pinch of salt the whole experience was amazing and I'm definitely going to go back again soon! Here's some photograhical evidence of mon week-end à Paris!
Day 1...

Bye bye Britain

Finally in Paris the sun came out to play
 for our boat trip down the Seine

...and the scenery was pretty decent too!
(Notre Dame)

Day 2...

 D.I.S.N.E.Y.L.A.N.D.

I don't think it's an exaggeration when they say it's where dreams come true. In true Disney tradition I bought some Minnie Mouse ears and to top at all off managed to squeeze into the little girls Princess dresses. If they had a large enough Tinkerbell one I would have bought it, no shame, no regrets.

La Tour Eiffel

With a view this stunning it's no surprise I got a tad emotional up the Eiffel Tower. 

Day 3...

Stade de France

...et Sacré Cœur

Hello again lovelies,

The weather has been marvellous the past few weeks and what better way to enjoy the sunshine than with, my favourite of foods, Ice-Cream! The best part of days like this is when, around five o'clock in the evening I hear a cheery little jingle followed by a familiar van filled with chilled sweet treats perfect for summer!

So an unexpected change in circumstances occurred  a few months back, when the sun had decided to show itself after a long cold winter. Spring had finally arrived. Sat in my room after a laborious day of school I hear one of those cheery jingles. But oh no, this isn't the familiar  'oranges and lemons' chime I'm used to but a new tune of 'match of the day'. I was distraught to say the least and refused to buy anything from the new vendor (which was painstakingly hard may I add). However, knowing me, I cracked and made a surprising discovery in the process. Here my lovelies is what I uncovered from my findings; not all 99's are the same. The delicious cone I was familiar with usually incorporated  whipped cream style ice cream with the chocolaty flake poked on top; this new 99' was composed of Cornish style Ice-cream instead. Flabbergasted by the change (though not complaining, ice-cream is ice-cream after all) I began to wonder, does Ice-Cream vary depening on where you live. Comments would be lovely discussing this topic, I'm really interested to find out ≧◡≦

The one and only 99' Flake

 Overall I think I've learnt a valuable lesson from all of this...
Don't be afraid to try new things, a little change may gladly surprise you!

On another note, I leave for Paris at 4am tomorrow and am no doubt going to order all food a la mode ,old habits die hard I suppose ;) I'll try and post some pictures from the weekend adventure soon after I return xxx

❀ Always, Deanna ❀

p.s. Only now do I realise how serious addiction to Ice-cream must be when I get infuriated by tiny little details like this, hahaha ;)

#1 ❁ How do I begin to explain Regina George?

Hello and Welcome
I am Deanna Baldwin and I, like most 16 year olds, am at the stage in my life where I have to make some big decisions that will affect my future. I don't want to set my heart on anything as an unexpected change of events could result in things taking a turn for the worst. However, saying this I'd love to have some sort of career in fashion. I'm fascinated by different styles, colours, materials, and aesthetics of clothing and how the world around us influences our everyday choices. So I decided to start up this blog as an outlet for my views opinions as well as broadcasting my daily life. Be prepared to hear about my problems, worries, fears and hatreds. But it's not all doom and gloom though, life can surprise you and  those perfect little moments of happiness and adoration can make it so perfect and worth putting up with!


Lets get started shall we...

It's finally starting to feel like summer and the weather has begun to perk up a bit. Summer makes me so happy, lazily sunbathing without a care in the world for countless hours waiting for the late night sunsets and the best bit clothes! I love having more freedom in what I can wear, not being covered up and restricted by layers upon layers of jumpers and coats. Here's a little 'what I wore' for today;

Top & Shoes ~ H&M

Skirt & Sunglasses ~ Forever 21

Bracelets (part of set) & Belt ~ New Look

Necklace ~ The Wardrobe (Independent store)

Socks ~ Topshop

Hope the weather holds up, the next few months are going to be so hectic. Prom has crept up on me and I'm so excited, only a week to go now! I'll update you guys when I've got everything for my outfit. Two weeks later I'll have the pleasure of arriving at school for 4 o'clock in the morning. I'm willing to sacrifice my slumber in favour of the weekend in Paris I'll be getting. Our adventure includes, A Boat trip down the Seine, Climbing the Eiffel Tower, finally living my childhood dream of visiting Disneyland and much more! What excites me most is having the opportunity make memories with the amazing friends I've made over the past few years.

❀ Always, Deanna ❀
