Firework
(Saw Katy Perry live last night, and she was amazing. My girl crush on her has increased by about 200%)
This weeks Friday Song is in celebration of my finished deadline (yaaayyy free for a few days!) and The White Stripes. The band announced this week that they had split up and that now the music belonged to the fans. So I share my favourite White Stripes song
I just don't know what to do with myself. With the gorgeous Kate Moss dancing in the video
Have a lovely weekend
Go Your Own Way
Fleetwood Mac is my favourite band of all time, I absolutely love them. Their lyrics are beautiful and I think what works for the band is that there was so much heartache in the band. There were 2 couples in the band, both split up. The most significant couple were Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham who wrote most of the songs. Their most famous songs were directed at each other (dreams, go your own way, don't stop etc) and you could feel the resentment. Now in their 60's you can still feel the bitterness and It's amazing when they sing a duet on stage, they come together to sing and it's just beautiful. Their life is almost played out in their records. One of the best documentaries I've watched on them replayed on the BBC again last week which you can watch here. It's a really interesting documentary even if your not that interested in the band. Perfect Sunday afternoon watch!
I don't think I could ever pick one favourite Fleetwood Mac song but I think the one that makes me most sad is the song Sara which was written by Nicks who's boyfriend ran away with her best friend Sara.
"Wait a minute baby, stay with me a while
Said you'd give me light but you never told me about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love where everyone would love to drown
But now it's gone, it doesn't matter what for
When you build your house then call me, home"
Teenage Wasteland
Perfect Friday Song to just chill to. Having some stressful times and this song just makes me forget about everything! Doing a photo shoot tomorrow, will share the images soon! Have a lovely weekend!
"Don't Cry
Don't raise you eye
It's only teenage wasteland"
Blue Valentine
One of the Films I'm most exited to see this year is Blue Valentine, which stars Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling. I'm not exactly sure what the film is about, I think it's about the marriage of two people but it looks really good! Watch the trailer below.
When Ryan gosling sings in the trailer he has a Maccabees style voice so for today's Friday Song, It's going to be a Maccabees song.

"And the thought of you was crystal clear,
I could warn myself or bin you dear
It could of been you, could of been you"
I could warn myself or bin you dear
It could of been you, could of been you"
This is just one of my favourite songs ever, i just love it and the lyrics are beautiful
Songbird
Have a listen, so beautiful!
"To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before"
Winter Wonderland
After a catastrophic day in the snow today I finally made it home for christmas! Feels so good to be home surrounded by all the decorations, family, warmth and food!!! Any university student will know how nice it is to have food on demand! The snow was so beautiful today and to 'celebrate' that here's a beautiful photo shoot taken by Tim Walker. The shoot is so magical so I thought it was appropriate for today!
For today's Friday Song something a little upbeat. I can't stop listening to this song I've gone a little obsessed! I promise something a little Christmassy next week!
Biffy Clyro Bubbles
"Well how's your view of things today?
Got up young to fade away
The sinners sin but aren't aware
Our fables take us everywhere
I can't keep up with you
I can't keep up"
It's Only Love
One of my favourite songs ever is The Maccabees-First Love. I stumbled across a video someone had made for it and I fell in love with it so i wanted to share it with you! Have a look at the video, it made my day!
Marina, I ♥ you
Marina Diamandis, from the band Marina and the Diamonds, is one of my favourite modern icons. I love her music, her style and from tv appearances and interviews her personality is wicked too. She was the first person I blogged about, hopefully my blogging style has evolved from then! Marina was used for Vogue's November edition of "Today I'm Wearing" which is on their website. Each month they have a different star who shows what they wear each day. I've featured some of my favourite shots of the month she did. I love her fun and quirky style, she wears bright colours which looks really good against her milky white skin and black hair. Have a look here.
It was only appropriate for me to feature a Marina and the Diamonds song as this week's Friday Song. So I've chosen my personal favourite "Hollywood" I love the video, so american!
"Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain
Oh oh, Living in a movie scene
Puking American dreams
Oh oh, I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America
I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America"
Tough Love
I am sat here typing, looking out my window at the beautiful snow. It's been snowing here since 1pm and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon! I've never seen snow in November, maybe this year we'll have a white christmas! Anyway moving on to today's post. Accessories. For some reason I've never been hugely into accessories and I don't tend to wear much. I stick to a ring and necklace that I wear every day. Pamela Love is a jewellery brand that i really love. It's quite expensive so not something that I'd really be buying right now! The designs are really unique and quite different, with designs like serpents, talons etc.
You should have a look at the website here
And now for today's Friday Song.
A little happy song that is perfect for dancing in the snow!
Fleetwood Mac is one of my favourite bands ever and this song is one of my favourites!
"Something's happening, happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly
C'mon baby we better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart
Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)"
Only Girl In The World Part Deux
I am in love with Rihanna's Album Artwork for her new album, I think because it's very similar to her video for Only Girl (in the world) which is such a good video/song! I love seeing where people get their inspirations from and seeing how people perceive and develop their ideas! The inspiration from the video has come from Tim Walker's photography. You can see the influence with the use of bright colours and the balloons with the water and the suspended garments. Tim Walker is one of my favourite photographers. I've only recently really got into his work, he uses a lot of colour which I've never been a fan of. You should have a look at his work here! Here are some of the original photographs that have been used for inspiration in the video.
Here are some video stills from the video (their not the best of quality, this was the best I could do)
This video makes me want to have bright red hair so badly! Do you see the inspiration? And of course to see it even more here's the video
