Let the sun shine 

You would never guess from these pictures that it was a freezing day in the middle of Winter, would you? Today was so bright and beautiful it inspired me to peel off my Christmas pj's, dust of my camera and take some pictures! I had a guest appearance on set (hehe) today from my amazing big brother, who threw on a hoodie a hat at the last minute to help me even though it was absolutely baltic. It was weird having someone at the other side of the lense (and also nice, not to have to set the self-timer and sprint into place for every shot hahaha). Thanks so much Edward!

Remember me? I'm the girl who used to blog here....

So I could make loads of tired excuses as to why I haven't blogged in about 7 months but in actual fact I guess I've just been .....living. It's funny I find blogging so therapeutic and stressful all at the same time ,therapeutic because it's a way of venting the millions of thoughts that run through my excessively overactive mind, kind of like a really public and colourful diary. Stressful because bloggers are supposed to live really interesting fun lives right? Sometimes I get the opportunity to do really cool things other days I spend in bed wearing discoloured mismatched pjs, whilst watching videos on YouTube munching family sized snacks. Also, if extreme procrastination is a disorder I definitely have it. I've been guilty of procrastinating ENTIRE days away.... ridiculous I know. Anyway,one thing is for sure; I love blogging and reading blogs and vlogs and everything else in between, so I may not be consistent with my posts but I want to promise myself that I'll keep at it and when I do blog, I blog cool stuff( I will warn you in advance that my definition of cool is questionable) ... it's all about quality not quantity right!!
Anyway, enough waffling on and more blogging.... Here's (kinda-sorta) my last 7 months in pictures !! Ooooh and I finally betrayed my Blackberry and got myself a pretty white i-phone, which should make uploading stuff when I'm not at home even easier :-) Lots of Love Darlene xXx

'The sun is shining the weather is sweet..'

Today was one word ....BEAUTIFUL !The sun didn't stop stop shining and there wasn't a cloud in sight! So I thought I'd take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and walk down to the canal. My outfit today is inspired by the Rihanna Collection for River Island that's just launched in shops. Love her or loathe her you have to agree her style is bold and fierce and I for one love it! However, I'm really trying to save money at the moment so I thought I'd use stuff I already had to create the same look!
