Lots to do kiddies. Constantly working. #endofsemesterstress

Have some pretty.

“Either you run the day or the day runs you.”-Jim Rohn

“A runner must run with dreams in his heart, not money in his pocket.”-Emil Zatopek

“Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.”-Will Rogers

“If you start soon enough, you won't have to run to catch up.”-Chinese Proverb

That last one should definitely become my motto. Sigh.

Morning kiddies!

I know it's been a while since I've posted and I really am being a delinquent blogger..but this week has been so utterly hectic for me...

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you guys. I have thought about you every day that I didn't post...but school work, unfortunately, comes first...

Anyway, second set of papers in, and I've got about two weeks before the crazy starts again.

As a result, all I want to do right now is catch up on my missing sleep, which is another reason why I've been pretty neglectful of the blog.

Now that I'm rested, some daily pretty?

Can you guess the theme? :)

“Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.”-Fran Lebowitz

“If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.”-Dale Carnegie

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”-Dr. Seuss

“Man is a genius when he is dreaming.”-Akira Kurosawa

Bonjour kiddies!

In a very French mood today, as I've the amazing opportunity to wake up in Paris!

A gorgeous city of culture and romance, and fashion capital of the world, I'm sure to find loads of inspiration here!

Hold on to your seats beautifuls, lots of posts to come...

*Remember, remember...

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, guy, t'was his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.
By God's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?
Burn him!

So, it's Guy Fawkes' day and, as most of you know, we celebrate his failure to bomb Parliament by [none other than] setting off fireworks!

Hence, firework themed fashion! Seems fitting right?

Hey kiddies!

If anyone wants to see where I come from, or what I should sound like please, please, please check out this video. It makes me insanely homesick and super proud to be a Trinidadian.

Enjoy!

Maybe I should do a post about Trinidad??

*RainyDay

Ew. It's been super rainy for the past few days here in England. And, if you think that's enough to get you depressed, imagine how I feel! As a result of the dreary weather, I have been perpetually lazy, curled up in bed, trying to stay warm. *insert massive hot chocolate craving here*

Naturally, I'm gonna turn this frown upside down, and blog about it!

So... *drum roll* wonderfully depressing rain editorials!

Haha, just kidding! They're inspiring, in their own way and, although I love the sun and warmth, coming from the Caribbean, these pictures make me want to get my brolly and a pair of rain boots and go splash in some puddles.

Enjoy!

“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.”

"I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will." -Clint Eastwood

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."-Gilbert K. Chesterton

*Halloween:Aftermath

***

What do a Hindu Goddess, a primate, and a skinless corpse have in common?? They've all been Heidi Klum's Halloween costumes!

With hurricane Sandy ravishing the East Coast of the US, many of the Halloween festivities had to be cancelled. Most notably, the New York Halloween parade, which was cancelled for the first time in 39 years, and Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party! *sad face* due to the hurricane dubbed "Frankenstorm."

Thus, in honor of Ms. Klum's dedication to the holiday, I have decided to feature the past 12 of her elaborate costumes, including the one she would've worn this year, as today's 'Daily Pretty!'

Top Row L-R: Lady Godiva, Betty Boop, Sexy Alien, Red Witch, Black Witch, Eve's apple
Bottom Row: Black Cat, Goddess Kali, Crow, Transformer, Skinless Corpse, Cleopatra

What's your favorite? I personally LOVE the Transformer from 2010. #amaze

*p.s. If any of you are reading from the East Coast, or have friends or family there, I hope everyone's alright. Stay safe. Stay warm kiddies!
