Cat in a box!

After watching 'Pearl Harbour' for about the hundredth time on Saturday, I realised how brave the soldiers and citizens must have been through this difficult time! I love this film so much and I really think it gets the message across to the terrible circumstances that world war 2 held!


Theres another part of the film I absolutely love and that is the costumes used. The clothes they wear are stunning and the hair styles and lipsticks are so realistic! The men's army uniforms are also brilliantly mastered. Strangely enough I was routing around the cupboard under the stairs and I found that my dad has an American air force leather jacket (My dad has style! :o)


I think that actress 'Kate Beckinsale' plays the part brilliantly and really looks the part. Her dark brown hair and dark red lips really look as though she has stepped straight out of the 1940s.
In fact I think all of the women in the film look fabulous! The hairstyles are absolutely gorgeous (I just wish I knew how to do my hair like this!?) The picture above is one of my favourites from the film. The nurses uniforms are so unique and quite different from today but yet they look so adorable and ready to help others! In the film I find it ever so sad when 'Betty' is killed. She was such a nice and fun loving character. It really makes me cry when Sandra and so speechless about what has happened (as you would be) that she feels as though she doesn't know what to do. The fact that they just had to carry on is admirable .

If you have not seen 'Pearl Harbour' and you have fancied watching it, I would advise it because I find it such a brilliant film which if you like a bit of romance mixed with action is perfect for you!


In further news, which is not related to the film above ;) Yesterday I had an interview at a volunteering agency called HAVCO it was really interesting and I even got a chance to have a further interview at a company called 'Little Treasures'. It works with children and their families and is really a worthwhile, generous and kind organisation! I can't wait to start working there over the summer holidays! :D On this same day my friend Madison won the College Poetry competition! I want to congratulate her on her success. She really is an exceptional writer and defiantly has the ability to pursue her longed for writing career! Her blog is proof of this. To check her blog out click here: Madison!


I actually came down my stairs yesterday morning to find my cat 'Lucy' sitting in a box on my kitchen table! It was very random and she is a strange little weirdo but I love her for it! :)
Cats have such strange and wonderful ways! Every time we take our cats to the vets for a checkup, the vets can never hear their hearts as they purr to loudly (haha!)

Even my doggys Teddy and Barney are so hilarious to watch! Barney is a big softy and so is Teddy but he is bonkas! :)


I will leave you with that note,


Have a nice day,


Love Kirsty .x.

Decisions, Decisions...

Even though I'm not going on holiday for a little while yet, I felt like I should decide what I am going to take with me (This is very difficult!) I have quite a lot of clothes which is good but I'm hopeless at making decisions! When I think I've made my mind up, I'll change it again! Seriously, its beginning to get very annoying! Then I have to make sure that everything goes with one another! ;)

Any who I decided that because I can not possibly take all of my wardrobe with me (even though I really would like to! :) I narrowed it down in the end. Some how I managed to end up with a LOT of different shoes, but as long as I can fit them in my suitcase it looks like they will all be coming with me! :D (I may have to sit on my suitcase to see if it closes but I'll worry about that nearer the time ;)

I'm not at college today because we have the day off so I decided that I would go and get my haircut this afternoon, nothing fancy just a trim and then I haven't got much else to do. I should really help my mum with some housework because I feel a bit mean that shes trying to studying for her art degree, whilst I'm just lazing around!


In slightly different news, I've always really liked 'The Fratellis', but at the moment I am becoming quite obsessed again :s. Looks like they will be reminding me of the summer of 2009 this year, like 'Muse' remind me of the summer of 2008 :)

My friends and I really wanted to go to 'The V Festival' this year, but we never got round to arranging it, so I'm hoping we can go next year even though we are probably going to go on holiday together as well, which will be soooooo COOOL! I can't wait! :)

I've decided that I'm going to take my 'Pink and Red flower dress' from the wonderful 'Trollied Dolly' :) They sell such sweet and lovely garments, really vintage looking. I got this dress from their stall at 'The London Clothes Show' this year and I am in love with it! :D I'm not sure if their website is up and running yet, but when it is you should check it out! http://www.trollieddolly.com/

Love and daisies,

New shoes!

My plans for the day actually were achieved... Homework, hoofer my room and do my ironing! I was pretty impressed that I didn't get distracted and actually stuck to my daily plan! =)

I was watching Wimbledon, but I got a bit preoccupied reading a book that I bought yesterday... Its called 'The Grafton Girls' By Annie Groves. Its a really really good book about 4 working girls during world war two, if you like stuff like that then I'd recommend it! =)

After my driving lesson yesterday, which I very much enjoyed and actually got to go into second gear (Scary times!) I went to Lakeside to get some stuff for holiday. I got a book, a really nice dress and top from the 'Dotty Ps' sale :D and some very nice shoes! =)




Back to college tomorrow and off to the Harry Potter Premiere on Tuesday evening. Ron = <3

Love and shoes
