And then there was three...

Okay admittedly my last post was a bit negative about the shampoo and blah blah so this is just a run of the mill, spur of the moment cheery little (or long as i tend to get carried away) blog post :)

I noticed something yesterday which amused me quite a bit, and i'll be hung drawn and quartered if my brother happens to stumble upon this but he, yes, my 15 year old brother is, by all accounts, 'in love'. Now thinking back to when i was 15, this whole idea of 'being in love' was thrown around more than the football in the school yard. It seemed holding hands at dinner and worrying about what to buy your current love interest for valentines day were the only things that mattered. Without wanting to sound too patronising or cynical or whatever, i cant help but look at my brother and his girlfriend and feel slightly sorry for them, however cute it is to see them declare their love for each other over facebook. I wonder if either of them actually think, honestly, that they are literally 100% in love ? haha. Im no expert at being in love or relationships or anything, infact im quite the opposite, im only 19 and i can safely say pretty much every so called 'relationship' i have ever had has been an utter disaster.. and i to be honest think that is pretty normal for a girl of my age. I look at people who i have been to school or college with or who live near me or whatever who have had children or are 'engaged' and it really honestly baffles me ! I have another brother who is 2 years old and i can take care of him for a few hours every week without problem, and i miss him whenever i dont see him, but to have my own child who was 100% my responsibility would kill me. Atleast it would at this age. Even to be engaged to somebody at this age would kill me..
Anyway..maybe i've been watching too many episodes of SATC. I'll shut up about love and my theories on young romance now. 'Cheery' was the aim of this blog !

On a totally different note, I cant wait for summer ! I'm so excited for the light nights, sunny days at the beach and the many many hours to be wasted sitting in or just outside of pubs drinking gin and lemonades :) heaven !

And to change the subject yet again, i thought i would mention a couple of my favourite 'trends' that are hanging about at the minute. First and foremost i am absoloutly loving tights and socks ! Henry Holland released a fantastic range of tights in '09 and i believe he has not long signed off another new collection and i doubt they'll be anything other than fantastic too ! Topshop also have some lovely tights, as do River Island. I live in tights and leggings right now, layered with either knee high socks or ankle socks, such as these beauties i purchased from Topshop the other day...



Im a sucker for florals right now too so these socks are a sort of 'two birds with one stone' purchase ! I might post a few pictures in the future of favourite outfits of mine that involve tights and socks, or even other peoples outfits that i love too :)

Anyway i think thats enough of my ramblings for one day, I'd love to know what you thought of this post !
Toodles,
