TV/ SKINSSkins is a British tv show i have just fallen in love with. The story follows a
group of teens in their every day life, and by this i mean, eating disorders,
drugs, love triangles, divorce, family problems and so much more. The
characters are so lovable, and each is so different. Did you ever see that
movie 'About a Boy'? well that little boy has grown up, and in skins, he plays
a promiscuous horny little bastard, but he is still oh so adorable. I recommend
this show to all races, ages, and sexes, even my mum is addicted!

sit down with a friend (or fiance) and a drink and play a nice game of
scrabble. It is fun, competitive and is worth a laugh or two. So go in to
your parents cupboard and grab that dusty old scrabble set out for fun!
MAKEUP/ BRIGHT NAIL POLISHThere is nothing more satisfying then automatically brightening up your
day by simply wearing some bright nail polish. It sounds weird, but
simply wearing some bright polish adds a lot to an outfit, stands out
and is really lovely to take a look at.

FILM/ 2 DAYS IN PARISNo, not Paris Hilton, I'm actually talking about Paris, France ;) This is a
really cute movie that follows a couple, French girl and American boy as
they travel through Paris. It is a comedy mixed with drama, completely
entertaining the whole way through, there are low lows and high highs
and I think this movie is a great representation of the reality of relationships.
The scenery is beautiful and the script and actors are brilliant. I recommend
this movie for a nice sunday when you just want to lay about and watch tv.

Power singer Chan Marshall proves that it is possible. As she croons
out tunes that whip you away into a magical land, you cant help but
feel a little bit of sorrow in the back of your mind as she sings about
lost boyfriends and failing at love. Cat Power's voice is a mix of
softness and roughness making it the perfect mix to escape to (and
sing along). She has always been an obsession of mine and I
recommend everyone listen to her songs, the older the better :)
Check out her music:

Richards) and was a model, actress and fashion designer. Most
of all, she had a FANTASTIC sense of style. I always find that I keep
going back to Anita to look for style inspiration, and Im sure that
model Kate Moss does the same thing to, as a lot of their outfits
appear quite similar. If you are ever stuck for fashion ideas, i highly
suggest that you google miss Pallenberg, you will be inspired :)
