My Outfit - Brighten Up The Day

So as the weather in England has been absolutely pants this year I am still wearing all my winter clothes which is really annoying as all I want to do is crack out all my summer clothes. However I am trying to brighten up this month with my outfits.

I have tried to make this outfit as summery as possible without looking silly wearing it in the wind and rain. It is skirt season and I don’t care if it is cold, I am wearing a skirt. I have matched it with a bright pink shirt to brighten the look up, and of course I can’t wear any outfit without a statement necklace at the moment.

• Pink Shirt - HM sale. I got it for around £7 in the sale last week, so if you like it I’m sure you will be able to find it if your lucky.
• Skirt - Dorothy Perkins £14. I love this skirt. I think this striped jersey tube style of skirt is flattering on all body shapes.
• Necklace - eBay £1.77. I always get compliment on this costume jewellery necklace and its great because it was so cheap. Search Ebay for Punk Rock Spike Necklace and you should be able to find it.
• Belt - Back of my wardrobe. I bought this years ago at a car-boot sale and I think it adds that little bit extra to an outfit about without being too bling!
• I pair this outfit with a pair of spiked boots from Office Shoes (forgot to take a photo of them…oops.)

5 Inspiring Actresses

The 5 actresses that have most inspired me

Doris Day As a very small child, all I wanted to do was watch Calamity Jane over and over again. I was obsessed with Doris Day from the age of 4! Such a beautiful appearance yet a strong and talented actress. I find it strange, how so many… many years later how I look at her and see how my style is actually very similar to hers. Clearly she inspired me from a young age.

Julia Roberts Yet again another actress that I was crazy about at 5 years old. I was hooked. Yes, because of the great Pretty Women. I was amazed at her personality, her characteristics, her laugh, the clothes, everything. She made me want to get behind that camera before I even knew what a camera was.

Ingrid Bergman I read a book about Ingrids life and career a few years ago which inspired me as an actress. Ingrid had a vision and she went for it! It wasn’t magic or luck it was her fearlessness and her drive. It reminded me to stop being afraid of things.

“I didn’t choose acting, it chose me.”Especially as a child I realated to this quote of Ingrid’s. I honestly used to say to myself , ‘I want to act, I don’t want to be an actress but I know I will be.’ and here I am years later working as an actress.

Meryl Streep Well, it can’t be denied that she has done it all. She is a truly talented, focused and hard working actress that deserves every minutes of her success.

I did an essay on Meryl whilst I was at university. I watched all her films and read books on her. She has devoted her life to the art and has created an amazing pool of work. She has still remained a modest women with all her personal life kept personal!

Kate Winslet I love her choice in movies. I enjoy everything she is in and I believe she has picked her roles very cleverly and has been involved in work that shows her great talent.

It has been nice to see her grow as an actress from her early days in Titanic. She is a confident, beautiful and a very watchable actress.

One more lady that I couldn’t miss off my list… Do I need to give a reason why!

Marilyn Monroe

Sucker For A Quentin Tarantino Movie – Django Unchained

People seem to love him or hate him!

I love his movies.

Last week I was having a drink with a few friends when we started talking about Django. To me I find it very difficult to understand why the opinion on this movie was so slip (excluding the controversial topics in the movie, for example, the violence). Some people hated it and I couldn’t understand why. This was when it was pointed out to me that people find his movies slow. Really! I honestly can’t see why. I find his movies fascinating and gripping and overall incredible.

Django is the best movie I have seen in a long time and it is probably one of my favourite of all time. Yes, I said it. It is right up there.

This got me thinking about his other movies and how I have only seen a fraction on his collection. I’m setting myself a challenge to watch all of his movies and I will see if I still hold the same opinion. As you can clearly see, I only give myself challenges I enjoy <3
