"You wonder about your eighteen years, ricocheting between a stubborn determination that you've done well for your own capabilities and opportunities... that you're competeing now with girls from all over America, and not just from the hometown, and a fear that you <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">haven't</em>done well enough.

You want to live as many lives as you can... you're a capatalist from way back... and because you're eighteen, beacuse you're still vulnerable, because you still don't have faith in yourself, you talk a little fliply, a little too wisely, just to cover up so you won't be accused of sentimentality or emotionalism or feminine tactics. You cover up so you can still laugh at yourself while there's time."</div>

Above is a Chili Davis quote, he wasn't an oracle or anything, merely a famous baseball player but his words seem fitting considering what I'm about to talk about. The quote is basically stating (excuse the obvious) that maturing prematurely is a choice; in terms of my interpretation, it's a choice not only made by yourself, but by your parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was around a friends house yesterday, casually browsing the web when we came across some rather striking images of Chloe Moretz, you may recognise her as the bad ass girl from the awesome film, 'Superbad'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="213" src="http://geektyrant.com/storage/0999-post-images/moretz3262012.jpeg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1332876546250" width="320" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the age of 15 she walked down the catwalk looking glamorous and sexualised:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/crystaldots/default/hot-not-chloe-moretz-now--large-msg-132993640788.jpg" width="267" />

<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without knowing her real age I would guess she was around 18/20 years old in these pictures, considering the smokey make up look and the false eye lashes, which beacons a question, is it just me or is the whole concept of sexualising a girl so young disturbing? As my friend and I continued to browse she informed me of a more shocking case, a 10 year old Vogue model (I apologise for any discomfort you may feel viewing the following images)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not quite sure what French Vogue wants you to think looking at a topless picture of a ten year old, are we supposed to be in awe, or envious of her youthful beauty? Because all I can muster is unease and pity for Thylane Loubry Blodeau. Maybe I shouldn't be so judgmental considering it is her parents choice but she's been robbed of her childhood so young. At that age I threw on anything at random and hit the park to play with my peers, but she spends her days being promoted as a sexual image...<br />
<br />
I doubt this will produce a groundswell of outrage but arrghh. I just hope this obsession with youth doesn't go any further.</div>

Film is not usually something I write about on here but that just proves how unmissable 'The Hunger Games' is. I haven't read the ins and outs of the story line or the writers intended message but at a guess, I think it's a comment on our societies obsession with virtual entertainment and reality TV, obviously with children fighting to the death, this film is an extreme but it does get you thinking, much like 'Black Mirror' does (another MUST SEE). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't want to reveal too much, but in essence the film follows a young girls journey as she sacrifices herself to take her sisters place as a sort of child gladiator. You can tell it's a tear jerker but it's also majorly action packed so I guess it's an all rounder, there's something for everyone. It has definitely left some unanswered questions though so I'm desperate to read the books. </div>

As you may have read previously, my ultimate style icon is Alexa Chung, so when I saw this Alexa style dress casually on a Primark rail I had to snap it up. The cotton is really thin and loose, which really maximises comfort and makes it perfect for the summer, I'm definitely going to be throwing this on during my holidays. It is also really easy to style because it's monochrome and thus, will go with most things. </div>

I've recently noticed that fondant colours have been taking over high street shops. The trend is a lovely change from the neon pieces (only for the brave) stores have brought back every spring/summer for as long as I can remember. I say this because pastel are a much easier way of introducing colour to your outfits, they will certainly make you feel more at ease than a neon green number. On another good note, the light shades really set off a tan so it's perfect for showing off any bronze. Of course being on a budget I cannot join in on all the hype, but I can show you all the pieces I've been dying to buy. </div>

I bought this dress from boohoo.com fairly recently and quickly spotted the obvious similarity between my dress and one that featured in Versace's spring/summer 2012 collection. I still find it really weird how designers are copied by highstreet brands and highstreet brands are practically ripped off by Primark. Still, can't complain, would much rather pay under 50 quid than millions for the real deal.

So here I am in my friends computer room writing another pointless post but I have an excuse! I had a mini epiphany today. I've always wondered why boobs are so attractive to males (and lesbians), it just seems so odd to me, I mean they literally look like sacks of lard. However, A-level psychology always forces me to look at every possible cause, even considering the most simplistic possibilities. So it dawned on me, they are a visual representation of the females ability to feed offspring and provide for their young. Cavemen saw a voluptuous woman and thought "she can give my children nutrients" which has obviously been passed down from one generation to the next. Sorry, this does sound really gross but I just find it fascinating how everything, even an opinion can somehow be rooted back to an evolutionary/psychological function. </div>

You probably all saw it coming, she's every girl and her Nan's style icon but you can see why. She set the granny chic trend and completely transformed fashion today. She may not have done it single handed but in my eyes, she's the first person who properly pulled the look off. I watched her in awe when she was a presenter on T4, majorly envious of how well she pulled off such a unique haircut and still today I love her eye for up and coming trends, Mary Katranzou is now a household name all because of Alexa Chung. </div>

These are the <a href="http://www.office.co.uk/womens/office/kaleidoscope_platform/37/1712/30196/1?fs=1712">heels</a> I'm absolutely pining for! Their £80 from OFFICE but I reckon they're completely worth it because of the three colours involved. I'm not really a fan of brightly coloured heels, they just doesn't appeal to me but these stand out just as much an orange pair of platforms. Plus you could wear them with literally anything, the possibilities are endless! So really they're more of an investment than a dent in the savings... well at least that's what I'm telling myself. </div>

Sorry about the really crappy photos today! I usually try to do them in the morning for lighting purposes but I didn't have enough time today. My alarm clock decided to be a bit of a prankster and turn forward a week early. As soon as I realise I flopped straight back to bed. This jumpers rather unique, it has a knit front and a sheer back. I really like it though, it's quite unexpected. </div>

This was the outfit I wore to take my Mum out for Mother's Day. She's not the sort that likes gifts much, she'll except them but she won't use them. So instead of getting her something she doesn't need I always take her out, my treat. Today we went to KFC, a pretty well establish fast food restaurant, and by golly did I miss it. I was 12 the last time I felt the spice of a popcorn chicken tantalise my taste buds and I can tell you the next bite it was worth the 5 year wait. After KFC and I rekindled our love we went to see "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" which is now my favourite film of all time. Most scenes had the whole cinema in fits of laughter but others had us in floods of tears. It was an emotional roller-coaster but it was well worth the ticket. I would definitely recommend seeing it, if not for the refreshing story line, then for the best cast ever put together. Literally every single actor starring in the film has one with an award for something. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, back to fashion. this dress has a pleated skirt, which doesn't seem to be showing up very well on camera (it is there though, trust). I bought it quite a while back because of its versatility, you can were it on a normal day out dressed down with a knit cardi, or on a girly one with a pair of heels. A day to night job. </div>

As a child I was a dreamer,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it was always the same dream. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dreamt of a guy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was edgy, cool, deep. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything I would ever need. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a teen, I met my dream, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to stop in my tracks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as he gazed at me, Dumb struck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We both new.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Months passed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but we'd always tread carefully, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
scared to pierce the veneer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One touch and it would be over...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but needs took over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he leaned in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we kissed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Where are the fireworks?" I thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I ignored it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As an adult, I know I let him win, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let him walk away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with my pride in one hand,<br />
my heart in the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honestly, I don't miss him<br />
but I do miss my naivety. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because now I know the truth, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
frogs come in Prince like packages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and most dreams are crushed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Being the impulsive girl that I am, the idea of a bob has become really tempting recently. I love the idea of an Alexa Chung style do, it's really cool and effortless. So what do you think? Should I take the plunge or stick to my long locks? </div>

The one bad thing about blogging with photos is that you notice all the things you forgot to do in the morning... sorry about the shiny nose. I stayed round a friends house last night so this outfit is the product of a few things chucked into a bag. Hopefully it didn't suffer to much. Today -as per usual- I attended 6th form but on the plus side I only had two lessons so I was able to do a bit of shopping mid-afternoon. Only bought a few thing though, this necklace, a birthday card and that mood ring (couldn't resist. Apparently I was feeling excited during this photo). Can't really afford to spend lavishly with Mother's Day looming. </div>

As you can tell the whole collar trend has really influenced me. I really like how edgy it looks and it looks rather classy, win win. </div>

This outfit was worn to school and a friend's music recital (which she totally rocked btw). It needed to be smart (silly 6th form dress code) yet going outish, hopefully I achieved a happy medium. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm loving the whole gold chocker trend at the moment but, like most people, I don't really enjoy following trends exactly as they come. So I buy items that add my own twist, hence the white and gold pattern. Another trend which I don't particular like straight off the barrel is leopard print, it's too... over done? Personally I think it's lost its class (no offence intended). However, I do really like leopard print flats, their not too obvious. That's always a really good move, if you don't like a trend very much but you like it in small doses, try a shoe or nail polish version. </div>

I had four lessons today so it seemed practical to dress for comfort. I don't know about you but I just can't stand sitting for a long time whilst wearing restricting clothing, baggy tops all the way. Horizontal stripes are a must for me at the moment, although they make you seem wider there's something really classy yet relaxed about them. It's probably because of the French, they've always been stereotypically stylish and stripes are just classically French (viva la France!). In terms of colour scheme, navy and beige is one of my favourite combinations, it's not too out there and really works in the transition from winter to spring.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The penultimate winner of my style icon title has to be, no other than, Mary-Kate Olsen. I remember watching her show " Two of a Kind" in fits laughter, begging my Mum to buy their really cool fridge (I was a weird child) and reading all their books wishing I was a twin... Now she's all grown up and I'm still jealous. Why? because she doesn't look like your average "each strand of hair must be in place" celebrity, all her outfits seem effortless and have that wear-ability factor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also really admire her for pushing through some incredibly tough times. Mary-Kate and her sister have faced a long battle with anorexia and I'm not too sure if they have fully beaten it yet. If the eating disorder wasn't enough, she also found Heath Ledger, a good friend of hers, dead in his apartment, I can only imagine how traumatic that must of been... One thing's for sure, she's a fighter. </div>

Lots of Love,<br />

And you wondered why I'm guarded,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
why I could never let you in,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Truthfully, I was scared, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
terrified of what you could do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because the past had my heart completely teared</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but with one piece left for you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You took that piece and crushed it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you grew tired of my cold shoulder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you couldn't fight for me anymore</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and with that, damn it, my heart grew founder </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I get so caught up on those who've hurt me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love posts like this because there's nothing worse than spending a ton of money on a product that's less than satisfactory. Of course, it has to be taken with a pinch of salt, everyone has different tastes, but it's nice to have a general idea of what to avoid. My first post in this series is (obviously) about rimmel mascaras. Yes they are a very popular brand but I really don't think they've delivered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the moment I unscrew a mascara I can tell whether or not I'll like it. The rubbish ones have an almost liquid like consistency that's all gloppy at the tip. And that's exactly what almost every rimmel mascara's like (that I've tried). So what's my big problem? They clump your lashes so that you look like you've just got out the bath, the ends of your lashes appear to bend into a black blob, and the big brushes give your eyelids a nice coating too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has to be said, I haven't had this with all rimmel mascara's. "Sexy curves" and "lash accelerator" didn't give me the wet lashes look, they worked rather well. So I've come to the conclusion that the weird effects of the formula can be overcome if you buy a mascara with a rubber brush (lash accelerator has a different formula) or just avoid their brand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please do note that this is purely my opinion, conjured from my past experiences. I guess you'd have to see for yourself. Maybe it's just my lashes?</div>

On another note, today we had an R.E conference on abortion. It was all very heated and brought to light a few things. Did you know that a feotus has a heartbeat at 4 weeks, yet legally you can have an abortion at anytime prior to 24 weeks? It's a nasty thought, still, even though I am more pro-life than pro-choice I have to admit it would be really difficult to keep a child at the tender age of 17... Sorry about going all deep on you but I feel it's a topic we generally put to the side when we shouldn't. I mean do you agree with the law that the father doesn't even have the right to be TOLD about the baby? Or that disabled babies can be aborted after birth? It's shocking. So in essence, it would be cool if you read up about it, just to see how messed up some of the abortion laws are. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my closest friends, <a href="http://veneersuncovered.blogspot.com/">Balley (or Becky formally)</a> actually raises similarly heated topics on her blog. She's really analytic -just like me- so her posts are always well thought out and generally, a really good read. You should definitely check her out!</div>

If you're a keen reader of my blog you'd already know that I went shopping today. I thought I'd give you a little insight into all the beauty goodies I bought as I've yet to do a real beauty post on here. The foundation I bought was rather expensive but I thought it may be worth it, keep you posted on that one.<br />
<br />
Not sure if this happens to anyone else but all of the key pieces to my beauty regime run out at the same time, leaving me in a rather difficult financial situation. Do I A stop washing my face etc or B break the bank... times are hard! As you can tell I went for the latter. But oh well my regime will live to see another day.</div>

Today I went shopping for the first time in forever! I know it sound weird but seeing a clothes display -racks and all- makes me unbelievably happy. It gets my heart racing, my hands clapping and my eyes rapidly scanning the isles. It's such a key therapeutic experience, a lack of shopping actually gives me the grumps. So it was such a relief to just splurge! </div>
