Its Wednesday !!!

Okay, so maybe the title of this post is just the tiniest little bit, a white lie.  But, hey my laptop's been playing up ( and I had online homework !?!?) and what happened on wednesday was pretty awesome.

Ed Sheeran, my favorite british singer/ writer, anounced his UK tour on monday, for October of this year. At first, the chances of me actually being allowed to go were pretty slim, what with me desperatley waiting for the next time Justin Bieber tours. Then I noticed that his first date was on my birthday. Problem Solved !!!

So today (or wednesday) ten minutes into my english lesson, at twelve o'clock, the tickets went on sale. So, he hasn't been around for long, but suddenly everyone wanted  to go. The website crashed, the  seats sold out after seven minutes, and most the phones in my class started buzzing with texts. All you could hear was ;Block 9 standing', '2nd row', and then eventually 'Sold out'.

At that time I utterley convinced mysef that I wouldn't be going. I spent the whole of PE displaying a sad face, even more so when I fell of the trampoline. Ooops.

But hey, I got the tickets, and in 9 months and 3 days, 16 days after my fifteenth birthday I'll be seeing my musical insperation.

Which made me think. Who are your favorite artists? Whats the best concert you ever went to? And the best Birthday present you ever got ? Comment below and I'll post your answers along with my opinions on the blog next week
xxxx Thanks for reading xxx

Spring Fashion Fix

Okayy, so by the look of the weather outside, it's hardly an appropriate time to be thinking about spring; but as any fashion-ista's would know- You have to be on top of the trends. As lots of magazines are currently doing I want to predict, for you, what I think will be hot (though,quite possibly chilly) this spring.

The first look I think will hit the runways, or just the high-street....is the boho style.  The bohemien look that first came to fame in the 90's, and is popular with such models as Kate Moss. So stock up on printed dresses, flowing skirts and floral headbands. Also statment jewelry ROCKS all year round so a chain necklace from this season might just complete the next one too.

Now, remember those warm mustard shades that were EVERWHERE this winter? Yes, well they were hard to miss. And, although it was a beautiful colour, by swappig it for a newer, paler yellow, you can be as beautiful as a spring daphodile. Pastel pinks, lemon yellows, and lime greens are the shades of today. Be on the look out for these, but don't be too afraid to re-wear those jumpers you brought last november.
My top buy- A yellow blazer. Can be teamed with a LBD and heels for a night out, and the leggings and a vest for a day at the shops

    Jewelerey- A peace sign pendant. Completes the boho look  beautiful symbol

Girls, thanks for reading this pre-season fashion fix. I'd love to know about your individual style and what you think will be big this spring. Please get in touch...and comment below  xxxx

Kiss by Jacqueline Wilson

Published in 2007, 'Kiss' is a novel written by jacqueline wilson. The book is aimed at  teenage girls, and covers themes that they can identifey with, love,heartbreak and the worries of growing up.

Sylvie has always been the small, quite girl that nobody really ever notices, well nobody apart from Carl. Her and her next-door neighboor have been best friends forever. She always thought of him as, the one whom she would marry, but it's only when she hits her teens that she see's him in a new light. Carl is cute, funny and all hers.

Then when Sylvie meets miranda everything changes. Swept up by a human whirlwind of popularity, she feels both flattered yet threatend. Miranda is grown up, carefree, and beautiful; everything that sylvie has to live without being. At one of Miranda's hip parties, everything falls down, whilst, in a game of spin the bottle, Carl and Miranda share a kiss.

As yet another  trip is made by a group of four friends, everything about the story comes out and falls into place. The ending is a real suprise, though when going back through the novel you realise that everything was always set up to end that way. I love the irony of the fact that the one thing Sylvie feared, Carl falling for her best friend, would never happen.

The book was funny, gripping and at times tragically sad. I first read the novel aged eleven, and it definatley set me with a good outlook on growing up. 'Kiss' has many messages, perhaps the best showing the significance of friendship compassion, placed next to romantic love. You experience a real glad-ness when the two character's re-connect, and find yourself wishing them all the best for the futre.

Marshmallow Skye Review-

Marshmallow Skye Review-

Skye has always loved being a twin, knowing that their is someone who feels the same as her, but recently she feels she is ever growing apart from the one person she should be close to. Summer, her identical twin sister. Add one mischevious friend with a crush, an acient treasure chest and a whole bunch of dusty love letters, and things stop being marshmallow sweet....

Marshmallow skye is the second book in the 'chocolate box girls', a seires of five books, each written from the perspective of a different sister. Published in 2011, the book undergone name changes and different cover designs. After reading cherry crush, the first book, I had high hopes for the novel.

The story follows twelve year old Skye Tanberry, a history loving, vintage dreamer from somerset. Although she was mentioned in Cherry Crush, it is in this book that we really meet the character. When reading the book you experience every emotion along with Skye, and find yourself falling in love with the ones that she does. But when she discovers a mistorey, a ghost tale, the story is far from predictable.

I don't want to ruin the ending, though it is a real cliff hanger, one that leaves you right on the edge. Skye's tale finishes beautifully, setting the scene for her sister Summer's story.I would recommend the book to anyone, and even though it says 9 + on the back, I'm 14 and hey, I loved it!

I would rate Marshmallow Skye - 5 stars
Recommended age- 9-15 years
If you enjoyed- Cherry Crush, Lucky Star, or Ginger Snaps then you'll love this. Its all about falling for the wrong person, who just turns out to be the right one.

What's with all the dreams, daisies and doodled hearts ?

Pages filled with hearts, flowers, hopes and dreams; everyone I know doodles. Words and images that mean something close to us, an irristable temptation. Give me a pen and paper and all my thoughts come alive. I'm pretty sure every other budding artist, dreamer, and teenager in the world does the same.  And hopefully so will my blog.

I didn't want to limit my post to a certain theme, or pastime,so it will be totally random. Just  like doodles. Fashion rates,music, photography, book reviews, quotes. All things me and my friends enjoy, and hope you will too.

Dreams, Daisies and Doodled hearts is a blog all about the things that you're into and enjoy. 

 I love reading other peoples blogs, weather they be well-known,or ones found from legnthly searches.  Some of them I find really inspiring and useful. I'm also into reading magazines, light reads, or heavy novels. Love, heartbreak, friends being my favorite topics. So I decided that between reading, and writing my own stories,I should set up a blog to connect with other people with similar intrests.

If there is anything you would particularley like to see on Dreams, Daisies and Doodled hearts, please comment and I will take it into consideration. Book reviews, style tips, celeb features; specification will help a lot. Also any constructive critisim, that will help the blog developed, is very welcome. Just don't be too harsh as its only my first time.

Thank-you for reading the first post that will hopefully be one of many.
