Sixth Form, Bake Off and The New Look

-
...

Ok, let's not ignore the elephant in the room. I haven't posted in quite a while. I'M SORRY. But I have a perfectly good excuse for it. I can officially go by the title 'Ellie the Sixth Former' (although 'Ellie' will do), but with the title comes responsibilities e.g. homework, deadlines and needing to go sleep a lot earlier, so for this reason blogging has had to be put to one side for a little while. However, I'm enjoying sixth form at the moment. I transferred to a school a little less local than my previous one where I didn't really know anyone, so I was pretty worried about all the big scary people going to be in my year. Despite that, I've settled in well. There are a few big scary ones but I have met some lovely people who have been very welcoming and friendly to me. My favourite thing about Sixth Form at the moment is the freedom.  I also love the subjects I'm taking; Media Studies, English Literature, Psychology and History. I think taking the subjects you really want to do makes such a difference to your attitude towards going to school everyday. Despite the luxuries, it's hard work. Sorry to all the secondary schoolers who think their little homework tasks were the end of the world. Sometimes my head hurts with all the information and there are times when a teacher is waffling on about something and find myself thinking 'whattttttt?' But you know, what else would I expect? If you work hard, you get the grades. I think I'm going to have a good year. 

Other than sixth form, I haven't really been doing an awful lot. Summer seems an age ago, but I can't say I'm completely missing the days when I wasted my life away watching YouTube videos I've watched one million times before. What I am enjoying watching at the moment though is the Bake Off. Who doesn't love the Bake Off? Although *SPOILER ALERT* I'm so sad Mat got voted out. Yes, he was the right person to go this week, but his biscuit fire engine in the second week confirmed he was my favourite. Now I think my favourite is Tamal, but I also think Flora is amazing. In other TV news, they've finished filming part two of Pretty Little Liars, Season 6, and I'm soooooo excited. 

Also I hope you like the new layout of the blog. I thought it might be worth making it look less like it was a scroll from the 1800s. 

I know nothing's really gone on in this post - I'll get back to the norm soon, I promise - but I just thought I'd update you. I like doing little chatty posts. 

Hope you're all well and see you soon! 

From, 
Eleanor

Tom Odell Live [Review]

I sit here, tucked under my duvet in my Wrong Crowd t-shirt, trying to find the words to describe last night's events: exhilarating, emotional, powerful, fantastic. Pushed up against a barrier with my hair sticking to my forehead, and the girl next to me swaying this way and that, I screamed the lyrics to Tom Odell's songs for an hour and a half straight, as he embarked on the Birmingham leg of his No Bad Days Tour 2016.  Calm and collected, unlike everyone in the crowd, Tom strolled onto the stage and took his seat at the grand piano. The lyrics of Still Getting Used to Being On My Own glided in, and as the intensity of the instruments built, as the did the light show, alongside the sheer passion behind Tom's vocals. I thought this was a strange opener; the song deliberates the tragic struggle of getting over a relationship. However, this was picked up by the thriving rock ballad I Know, which inspired plenty of fist pumps. Following this was his latest album...

A Week in Outfits

Oh hey! Long time no see. I have been super busy with all my uni stuff recently; I've got to that stage where I pretend everything's okay, watch a tonne of Brooklyn 99 and consume far too many Party Rings to procrastinate doing the work I actually have to do, hence I haven't really been on here much. Also, the photo set up - as you will be able to tell - hasn't really been sorted out yet. My box room isn't great for good outfit shots etc, so I've been wondering how to tackle a week in outfits post. I've settled with a a mirror selfie...I'm sorry, you're going to have to bare with for a while I think :').  I've kept you waiting for a new post for long enough, so without further ado, let's get on with the week in outfits, shall we?  monday.  First of all, I'd like to point out that I haven't really updated my A/W wardrobe since last year, so I don't know how much will still be available. But I'm pretty hap...

A Week in Outfits: Holiday Edition

When it comes to seasonal fashion, I know exactly what I like during Autumn/Winter - if it's cable knit and comfy I'm there. But in the warmer months I like to push the boat out a little bit...and when I say 'push the boat out', I mean wear something that isn't grey or black, and maybe even a skirt or two. Before I went to Florida, I did a big spend up on summer clothes. I couldn't wait to wear them all, so decided to wear them all in the first week of our holiday! So, here's what I wore in Florida, showcasing some old classics and some new faves.  *The brown bag you'll see throughout is from Accessorize ( similar ), and my sunnies are from French Connection  :) The belt is actually my brother's and he has no idea where he got it oops*  TUESDAY: DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS  As I was travelling on the Monday and was just wearing my comfies, we start with Tuesday. I know I said that sometimes I venture away from grey and black...
