Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself. - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
There are SO MANY tv shows starting this month! I shall be partaking in (as and when life doesn’t take over)… Mr Selfridge Glee Revenge Girls The New Normal Ben & Kate Up All Night Stella 90210 The Good Wife I also have Gilmore Girls and 30 Rock box sets on the go, and I’m sure David Attenborough and Julian Fellowes will pull more out of the bag... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
Mollie Makes is one of those magazines that is both stunning and aspirational to an extreme. The craft in it is so satisfying to look at and pretend I’m going to make. It makes sense therefore that I only buy it once a year when it includes its free calendar - it is always far lovelier than any calendar I’ve found in the shops, and I get to... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
Feeling so much love for London this week - there’s just so much variety, you never know who you might meet, and you can be anyone. Today I randomly craved culture and my instinct was god I miss Paris, but then realised I have galleries and theatres and museums and architecture and streets winding on forever, all on my doorstep. My mind constantly... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
You’re so welcome Virgin Trains I can’t even… :’) Thanks for always getting me home safe wherever that home may be now. - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
My girl Katy flew back from her job in Qatar for our graduation and brought presents! I’m going to visit her in Spring and I’m stupidly excited as it will be by far the most interesting place I have ever been (My family hols were the France camping site type - perfection when you’re a teenager but hardly awe inspiring… so though I’ve been lucky... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
One of the pressures of moving to London is feeling obliged to try out everything my first Christmas here has to offer. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland somehow convinced me to manage Churros and hot cider after my work’s Christmas dinner earlier in the day. It was freezing, but aptly wonderful :) The best bit was when I was chatting to guy on the hat... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
Today was panto time. I haven’t been to one in years but it massively put me in the Christmas mood! I plan to make it a tradition staple in years to come. Also my friend played the most deliciously evil wicked stepmother. And all the songs were taken from musicals. It was pretty much all win. - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
Faith Hill, 90s make-up, crimped hair, baby Taylor Momsen, multiple key changes… there are many reasons why it’s one of my faves… but most of all I love it cos you never grow out of Christmas :) Turn it up and croon it loud. Happy December x - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
After a full day conference and then a pilates class, I don’t feel even an ounce of the guilt I should feel for watching this right now… :) - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness. - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
wearethe99percent: I’m on an internship for school. I’m not getting paid for it. I’m in a strange city. I don’t know anyone here. I have applied at almost every fast-food restaurant, retail store, gas station, and whatever else I can think of, but have heard nothing back. My bank account is almost completely empty. I’m writing this on the laptop I... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
I could fill a book with reasons, and they would all be true, though not true of all. Only one same reason is shared by all of us: we wish to create worlds as real as, but other than the world that is. Or was. This is why we cannot plan. We know a world is an organism, not a machine. We also know that a genuinely created world must be independent... - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
A stranger. I took this at Paris Gare du Nord in December. Yes that’s a cat. They got on the train and everything. Wish my cats were that well behaved! x - http://xbluexskiesx.tumblr.com/post...
