Song of the week - 22.9.13

Hey guys! Been slacking this week with the music posts as I've been up to my ears with college work and placement sorting etc. Anyways, here's this week's song choice of the week! This week's song is Boys Like Girls - Love Drunk.

After the past few months, this song basically sums up how I feel. For those who have ever been through a pretty rough break up, I'm sure you guys can relate to this song too. Aside the fact it's been one of my favourite songs for years, I find that, lately, I can really relate this to my own feelings..

Relationships aren't as easy and fairytale like as you want them to be. Not everyone gets the happy ending they want and that sucks, especially when you see people who have been in relationships for years and seem to have their own perfect fairytale love story. Not like that for everyone. Definitely not for me. Been in a few relationships over the years, all incredibly different but all end in the same aftermath.

This song talks about the come downs after a relationship and the aftermath of it all. For some people, it's bitter and all that comes out of it is 'why did I waste my time with them'. however, for some people, it's more complicated and confusing. None of my breakups have ever been simple, not ever. The most recent one was probably one of the most painful though. But that's life. You can mope around over it and dig yourself a hole of depression, or you can get out there and make the best of your life and prove you're capable of better. It's just getting out of the hangover from being love drunk which is the worst...

'You must follow the fashion in the media...'

Hey guys! I’ve been asked to write a guest blog for my dearest best friend so I shall try and do her some justice as her blog is bloody amazing. For those reading from my blog, visit her page:

Now, I notice her blog is all about fashion and, if you’ve ever met me you’ll know, I’m not exactly the biggest fashion fan. Obviously, everyone has their own style and taste. But I find that’s down to the person themselves. 

People idolise celebrities and other figures in the media and spend their lives determined to be like them. However, as time goes on, we move on from certain celebrities and begin to idolise new ones more to our new found taste or preference. For example, a few years ago, so many young girls idolised Miley Cyrus. She had the long hair that so many girls want, the amazing figure and the gorgeous looks. However, look at her now. The short hair that not so many girls want, still has the amazing figure but definitely lost the looks. In terms of her clothing, she used to be such a style icon. Now, she is the embarrassment of the MTV VMA’s after wearing virtually next to nothing. Who wants to look like that?! Not what every girl aspires to be. 

Looking at my own style, I can’t say I idolise anyone in particular… However, the way I dress is far from unique. A lot of the people I look up to have such wacky and unique fashion styles. Me, I go for the comfort option. This usually consists of: black skinny jeans, black converses or vans, and a shirt of some sort – e.g. band shirt or just any vest top I can find that is suitable for whatever the day brings!

Personally, I base my style on people like Taylor Jardine (singer from We Are The In Crowd). I find her style so laid back and comfortable. She showed me that you don’t have to go out and buy the latest fashion to feel comfortable in your own skin. You wear what you want to wear. Who cares if you’re not wearing the newest fashion or rocking the latest trends?! I don’t leave my house every day in order to please every person I walk past. If I get the odd ‘hey, nice shirt’ or ‘I love your shoes’, great! If not, that doesn’t matter to me.

It’s better to be yourself rather than someone you’re not because, at the end of the day, it’s only yourself you have to impress.
