Daniel Radcliffe looking ravishing


Unless you have been under a rock for the past 10 years then you will be well aware who this man is. Yes ladies and gentleman, it's little Harry Potter all grown up. Now he may have left the wizarding world behind but I still think he is magical. I have been a Daniel fan since the beginning and now it seems that the rest of the world is waking up to the fact that he's no longer hidden away in his Hogwarts robes and he is infact, quite a hottie.

Just look at that jaw line!

Anyway, I'm in Daniel overload but here's a little snippet of just how adorable he was on the Jonathan Ross show. TOO CUTE!

Is romance dead?

Today I was cleaning out my room, de-cluttering and rummaging though bags and boxes that haven't been opened in years, clearing out old junk when I came across a letter from an ex. It was a love letter. Written in scruffy writing on a used scrap of old paper which had part of a shopping list on the other side from a boy I now barely speak to and despite that, it had meant something to me and I had kept it all this time.


The letter was ancient and I haven't recieved a love letter since. I've had more texts than my phone can hold, phonecalls which used up all my minutes, facebook conversations that went on for days, even metions on twitter, but no letters...and it suddenly hit me, is romance dead?


With Valentine's day looming, I can't help but think that we have lost all our romantic morals. You can buy a card in asda for 7p I kid you not. Despite this, the pages of history are littered with great love stories. Romeo and Juliet died for love. They couldn't bear the thought of living without one another so they took their own lives. I understand it's a story but a man wrote it, Shakespeare put his thoughts to paper and they were beautiful. And it wasn't just those starry eyed teens who caught our attention: Lord Bryon wrote poems, spilling his heart many a time; Anthony and Cleopatra were famous lovers; the story of Heathcliff and Cathy is beyond magically hauting and King Edward the VIII even abdicted the throne in order to marry the woman he loved! 


Nowadays there is barely a trace of romance left in the world it seems. I don't mean buying cheap flowers or going to a fancy restaurant or giving a tacky 'I <3 u' teddy. I mean real old-school romance. In the words of Olive Penderghast: "Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie."


So next time you're with your significant other, just keep in mind that it wouldn't kill you to be a little more romantic and not just on Valentine's day.

My girl looking fierce

Now if you know me then you will be aware that I adore this girl, so when I saw her on the cover of Wonderland I was literally screaming and jumping up and down in WHS. The cover is so simple and clean and yet powerful but I wouldn't expect anything less from Nicki or Wonderland. The main Barbz herself is rocking a Prada silk body with matching cartoon motif jacket, channelling her love of Harajuku and of course she's got on her MAC lipstick, from the range she created with them and her statement pink locks are in a cute curly style. The pictures inside are gorgeous (her boobs are looking AMAZING) her skin is glowing and she looks really happy. In the interview she talks about how much her fans mean to her and the connection she has with each one which I personally think you don't find enough with singers these days. All in all she is just a TOP BABE!

Wonderland is out now £5.00

Something sweet to get me by

Even though it is still below freezing point and it's predicted to snow at some point this weekend I am itching to hit the shops and get some candy colours to cheer myself up and forget about the weather and the fact I'm back at university full time.

The shops are full of sweet treats and cute clothes that are to die for. Liliacs and pinks and lime green and sky blue and they are all so beautiful. They are the kind of colours that are going to make you want to tie little bows in your hair and wear A-line summer dresses. As you can probably tell I'm rather excited about this season's sugary shades.

But it doesn't stop at clothes. Hair is set to get the rainbow makeover too. Style.com has noted brightly coloured locks as one of the key looks for this season and as it's too chilly too get out cute little summer dresses, hair is the easiest way to get involved with the pastel trend. There are loads of semi-permanent hair dyes out there and they are so easy to do. But if you need a little inspiration look no further than Bleach london who have even created their own little range of tye-dye barbies.
