SUMMER CHALLENGE LIST 2010.

Source- We Heart It

I have created a list of things I want to achieve this summer and as I cross them off my list I am going to blog about them along the way. Keep reading to see my:

SUMMER CHALLENGE LIST 2010.

(you're loving the dramatic large title right?)

1. Cook a 3 course meal. (I have chosen this one because I never really cook anything apart from the occasional dish of pasta and my Dad even insists that that is just "heating stuff up, not proper cooking." So I am going to stretch my non existent cooking ability, pour over the Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Delia Smith and Gordon Ramsey hard backs that are in my humble kitchen and cook a meal for my family. Wish me luck. This will be the hardest. I ain't no Julie or Julia (you should really see this film is you haven't already by the way, just for the hilarity of Meryl Streep who acts Julia Child as a constantly drunken French woman)

2. Learn one of my Grade 6 piano pieces. (I need to get going if my exam is in December)

3. Watch loads of inspiring film sand write a review for every single one I see.(SUGGESTIONS PLEASE?)

4. Read loads of inspiring books and write a review for every one I read (DITTO?)

5. Take loads of photographs with my trusty Canon 1000D and get myself back onto Flickr.

6. Go to London and get my summer wardrobe sorted. (So this one isn't exactly Nobel prize winning or even technically challenging but I have been working hard, I need a break, OKAY?)

7. Have a proper conversation with a French person when I go to France (NOTE TO SELF: THIS EXCLUDES SIMPLY SAYING "BONJOUR" OR "J'VOUDRAIS....." A PROPER CONVERSATION)

8. Get an article I have written published in a newspaper/magazine. (I always wanted to be a writer when I was older and now I am liking the sound of going into journalism so this would be an amazing first step to getting my name published in the Guardian- the ultimate dream)

9. Write a short story. Or a short film. Or a poem. Or an article. Just write something good really.

10. Get a job. (This probably is one of the most important things on the list although maybe not the funnest. My dream job would be to work behind the scenes on Glee- anyone make this happen, pretty please?)

11. Read a Shakespeare play. (I am thinking about being a proper nerd and reading all the books that are on the reading list for AS Level English Literature and Language early. Romeo and Juliet is one of them. I'm so going to get on this.)

12. Get my National Life Guard Award. (I told you that I was doing this a while back, can't wait to do it and then teach people how to swim.)

13. Get my exam results back. (And hopefully do well.)


I don't want to leave this list at 13, seeing as it's an unlucky number and all that but I can't think of anymore to add for now so I will just leave it at that.

So follow my blog if you want- I pinky promise it's really easy and I'll love you forever and ever- and join me as I try and accomplish all of them and cross them off the list.

Oh and if any of you have suggestions for challenges then feel free to tweet me here, or write it as a comment.

Wish me luck on my challenges!
Muchos love,

Wined and dinned and Cape Town from the Sky

We went on the weekend for a lovely long lunch - which is what i  love doing on Sundays. A bit of champagne was a lovely treat.
We were walking along the promenade to walk of the massive buffet dinner i had had (and helped my self to far too much) when we stumbled across the helicopter pad offering rides.
I had never been in a helicopter before and it wasn't too expensive so we decide to go.
The views of camp town where amazing - i loved every second of it!!!

If you like this please follow me and I'll follow you back :) Thank you.

RACHEL BILSON IN SIWY JEANS

Mischa Barton gets a lot of press for being a style icon but if you ask me her OC co-star Rachel Bilson is always much better turned out. These candid shots (of her wearing a pair ofSiwy jeans) were taken outside the Four Season Hotel in LA are so good they could almost be from a photoshoot.

If you like this please follow me and I'll follow you back :) Thank you.

Stripes!!!!

This is what i do when i have a bad hair day!!!

Cove it up :)

Best mermaid duo ever ♥

Xanthe (left) and me (right) :D

Ok so we kind of looked like mermaids right?
Unfortunately evolution hasn't let us physically sprout a fish tail (yet...) so I think the maxi dresses did a good enough job of getting the idea across for me and the fabulous Xanthe May, oui?

I ended up going way over budget for my maxi dress because I tried so many on in so many shops but then as soon as I walked into Topshop I saw this one and BAM it had to be mine.

Also at the 'Under The Sea' themed birthday bash I spied a Loch Ness Monster (cleverly wearing red tartan and green face paint) a giant yellow submarine, a pearl, a drop of water, a wave, surfers, some Hawaiians and also some sailors and pirates.

What a night.

And then it's my leavers ball tomorrow marking the end of my compulsory education and officially kicking off my 10 week summer holdiay. Wahey.

I am even going to get my hair cut and my makeup done at MAC with my BFFL for it. I know, get me pulling out all the stops.

Hope all you lovely bloggers/blog readers are having lots of fun in the sunshine, I know its unusually sweltering in England at the moment.

So layer up the factor 30 and enjoy amigos!

Beth Ruby xoxo

ps) THANKYOU SO MUCH TO EACH OF MY 200 FOLLOWERS!

Finally reaching the big 200 has made my day! Love you guys!

Amy Winehouse — fashion icon?

EM NO! who thinks this?

Take at look at these outfits....

Ever wondered how to bag yourself some free clothes?

Simply get Victoria Beckham to mention your name toRobert Cavalli, and Bob's your uncle (well, he's your lifetime supplier of clothes anyway).

Apparently that's how singer/trainwreck Amy Winehousemanaged to score herself a 'lifetime of designs' from the fashion guru.

Apparently Robert doesn't want Amy to actually model the clothes on the catwalk, but he'd like her to be the 'face' of his upcoming season of designs.

So… he doesn't like her body, but he does like her face? I was just just wondering, has this guy seenAmy's face lately?

Amy's famous for a lot of things, but I didn't think fashion was one of them. Would you dress like her?
