Belle trésor

Hey guys,

So lately I’ve absolutely been falling in love with some of the french quotes I’ve come across. They just sound so beautiful and have some sweet meanings. Here are a few of my favourite.

This translates to : ‘In order to be irreplaceable one must be different’

 

This one is really true: ‘It is madness to hate all roses because you were stung by one thorn’

 

Translates (this one is simple but beautiful): ‘She Dreams’

Translates: ‘Indecision is a decision’

 

The romantic sayings: They just sound beautiful rolling smoothly off the tongue

1. ‘Life is beautiful’
2. ‘Love of my life’

 

Last simple beautiful one: ‘To know, to think, to dream. It’s all there’

 

 

I hope you guys enjoyed that little post. I’m so in love with the language and would love to go to Paris one day.

Where are your travel goals? Comment down below I’d love to know also your nationalities. 🙂

Amour Demie xoxo

 

 

 

Fresh Fall Music Fix

Hey guys,

So it’s the first day of Autumn 2016! Autumn for me is a bit of a funny season. It can be cold enough to wear your favourite sweatshirts and indulge in a beautiful hot chocolate, while watching a movie but it’s still warm enough to go for a nice stroll in the falling autumn leaves. For a new season here is a fresh favourites music playlist to enjoy.

1. Hold Me Down by Hasley and the BADLANDS
2. Hide Away by Daya
3. 7 Years by Lukas Graham
4. Never Be Like You by Flume
5. Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots
6. Gold by Kiiara
7. Me, Myself & I by G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha
8. Keep Talking by Cyrus (A.K.A my fav)-This song’s rhythm is amazing and I have this played on repeat. I can’t wait to see more fresh music from him.
9. Player by Tinashe ft Chris Brown
10. Both of Us by B.o.B ft Taylor Swift-This is an oldie but a goodie I heard this on the radio one day recently and fell in love with it again. The tune is beautiful.
11. Butterflies by Zendaya
12. Fight For You by Jason Derulo
13. Life of The Party by Shawn Mendes

16. It’s You by Zayn- This is a fresh piece of music by him and it’s more on the softer and enchanting side.
17. Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson-This song was performed on American idol by her and had everyone getting emotional including Keith Urban. She just scraped through to the end without crying. It has a beautiful message.
18. Clarity by Zedd and Foxes

20. Scars To You Beautiful by Alessia Cara

 

 

What are your favourite songs? Maybe I could create like a followers ultimate playlist. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

My highlight for music so far in 2016 is when you find a song that you can relate to and sings all the words you sometimes can’t express yourself.

Love Demie xoxo 🙂

Snaps ‘n’ Styles

Hello my lovely readers,

It’s finally Saturday congratulations for making it to the end of the week! I feel like it dragged on I mean after a while things fall into the same routine and nothing major happens. This week in textiles we had to create mood boards for the theme of the skirt we want to make and the inspiration I came across was phenomenal. Here a few of my favourite tumblr fashionspiration looks I’d love to share and a quick story at the end.

Cute ‘n’ Casual:

I hope you enjoyed that little post. Let me know your favourites!

Little story so at school we had photo day and I don’t know if it’s just me but when events like that happen that’s when things decide to go wrong. Last year for photos it was so embarrassing but I look back at it now and have a little laugh. I was on crutches and had to travel to the other side of the school for photos so by the time I arrived my face was bright red and sweaty. On top of that I had this massive pimple I tried so hard to cover up. It was on my nose and all day people kept asking me if I got a nose ring. 🙂 

Enjoy your weekend.

Until next time…Demie xoxo

 

 

 

 

Paradise Dreams

Hey guys,

Have you ever had a craving to just escape somewhere on a holiday for a while or somewhere you can be free even if it’s just for one day?

My dream scenario right now is the sky is blue with not a trace of storm clouds in sight to ruin the light. There is a field full of vibrant flowers that let off an amazing sweet aroma through the fresh summer air. The end of the field is met by a lake filled with the purest, crystal clear waters. By the lake is an enchanting old tree entwined with ferns around the trunk. You would think it was touched by the magic of a goddess. It’s branches provide the perfect amount of shelter to relax and escape for peace. There is a small gap where the golden radiant sun seeps through and glistens amongst the water. If you close your eyes you can hear pleasuring sounds of the water flowing, the trees rustling and the birds chirping in perfect harmony. The adventures that lie here are infinite. You’d never fall bored.

How are everyone’s weeks going? This post was kinda different today. It was like a mini thoughts journal. Let me know if you wouldn’t mind seeing more like this.

Comment below your favourite place or your favourite songs!

Love…Demie xoxo 🙂

 

Change Road

Hey guys,

So it’s story time with Demie. 🙂

 

Have you ever had this problem you pushed to the back of your mind hoping it will eventually go away? Well sadly I experienced something like this recently and had to learn the hard way that it never just leaves until you actually deal with it. You could buy a plane ticket and travel to the other side of the world however your problems would still remain unresolved.

One time I had these amazing pair of shoes that I loved oh so dearly. I used to wear them basically everywhere. They were always the first shoes I’d go to when I’d have a wardrobe malfunction. Gradually over the years they began to grow holes in them however I was so blinded by my love for them that I’d just ignore it and act like it was nothing. Several people told me it was time to let them go however I refused to listen to the words they were saying.

A part of me was so defensive because I knew what they were saying was the hard cold truth. One day the soles wore out and there was nothing left of them to wear. They were completely gone. No matter how many times I tried to repair them it never mended the same. I never thought I’d had to see the day I parted with them.

Basically that story represents drifting away from a close friend. So here’s what happened….

I had a friend I’ve known for 9 long years. We were so close people thought we were related. He was like a brother to me. We would spend days at school talking and mucking around and from the minute we got home we would text all night. He would always be the one I could go to and trust when ever  I needed to talk about something especially more in the serious matter.

When we arrived at high school that’s when things began to drastically change and go downhill.We stopped talking as much and began to drift away. When we did talk it was like he was a completely different person and I stopped knowing what to say to him anymore. He became a stranger.

I didn’t want this to happen so I tried everything I could to fix it. There would be little glimmers of the old him I once knew still in there which gave me hope.I kept trying to talk to him even just saying little things like how are you however I kept receiving the dreaded cold shoulder and then one day when I entered school with him he pretended like he didn’t even know me.

Eventually I woke up and realised why am I trying so hard with someone who clearly stopped trying ages ago. I was still holding on to what was once there and didn’t see that it was chewing me up and creating stress. Now that I’ve let go it actually feels amazing like a weight has almost been dropped. Sure I still miss him but now he’s  just another good old memory in my story.

What I learnt from this is it’s quality not quantity. Sure I knew him for more than half my life but that means nothing if the quality isn’t there. The sad thing is I’ve also learnt you will drift from friend and make new ones. It happens. In the end remember you will always be the one that’s there for yourself so don’t let things like this bring you down.

Enjoy your day.

Love….Demie xoxo

Hello my lovely readers,

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Make sure you have an amazing day whether you have an incredible date or are having a fun night in eating food and watching movies (#me). 🙂

Fashion:

Here are some gorgeous Valentine fashion inspiration looks. Don’t forget you can wear these anytime of the year when going to an event or spoiling  yourself with a night out!

The Special Night Out:

Firstly I wanted to start off with the good old classic little black dress. This dress is definitely a must have to go to when having a special night out.

A beautiful red dress is perfect for valentine’s day as it’s the colour of love. They both go together like strawberries and chocolate.

Casual Inspo:

Not going out anywhere overly romantic or special but still want to put in a little effort. These looks you can definitely consider if this maybe your first date or a night out with your best friends.

 

Make-Up Inspiration:

Your make-up  can help to enhance your outfit and look as a whole for the night. There are so many things to try whether you want a sweet and girly look or a more elegant and sexy look. Here is some inspiration to help make your decision a little easier.

 

Hairspiration:

Girls could literally spend hours on their hair on some days. It annoys me sometimes when I’m meant to go out somewhere that’s when my hair decides to go crazy but no need to worry here are some gorgeous hair looks to try out for hair envy.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed that little beauty post. Let me know which ones were your favourite. Have a beautiful day!

Heart Nails Tutorial

Hello my lovely readers,

In the spirit of Valentine’s week I decided to create a heart nail tutorial. I love this since you don’t have to just wear them for valentine’s but on any day of the year.

Equipment:

• Red Nail polish
• White Nail polish
• Top and Base coat (Clear)
• Dotting Tool
• Scrap piece of paper

Step 1:

Firstly make sure you remove any previous nail polish. Once you’ve done that shape and buff your nail to the preferred style of shape. I personally love square nails.

Step 2: 

Start off by painting a clear base coat if you wish. This ensures the nail polish won’t stain your nail and it gives you a smooth surface to begin painting on.

Step 3: 

Grab your white nail polish and paint it only on your accent nail. Paint the rest of your nails red. Wait for the first coat to dry then paint a second coat.

 

Step 4: Accent Nail

Once those coats are dry it’s time to move on the heart accent nail. You will need your dotting tool and scrap piece of paper. Start off by putting a small amount of red nail polish on the paper. Grab your dotting tool and carefully make an out line of a heart.

 

Step 5:

Still with your dotting tool do the next set of dots joining up the heart. Next fill in the heart.

Step 6:

Paint a clear coat on the nails. Make sure this is completely dry before you do anything as you don’t want it smudging.

 

I hope you enjoyed that little tutorial. A quick thing I’d love to mention is it even looks cute just leaving it at the outline of the heart. They were just the colours I used. Feel free to go ahead and mix it up with the colours of your choice. Send me or tag me in your pics for anyone who tries it and let me know if you’d like to see more tutorials in the future.

Love Demie xoxo

Saved By The Book

Hey guys,

So by now everyone should be back into their routines. Sometimes I feel like I never even left school. So today I’m creating a new tag which is What’s In My Pencil case. It’s basically where I share some tips on what I bring to school that may make your life easier! Tag a friend and get involved. 🙂

Firstly I started off with the pencil case. I handy tip I’d love to share when considering what pencil case to purchase is that make up cases make amazing pencil cases as well. They have many compartments to contain your belongings and come in several different styles and sizes.

Original photos

 

Sticky notes are always great to carry in your pencil case. They are really helpful when you want to write a quick note and come back to it for future preference. They will help you to be more organised and make life much easier especially when you want to take effective shortcuts to completing your work.

 

Highlighters are another key thing I bring. They help when you want to highlight important parts in your work especially in your notes for a possible test in the future. My favourite thing I love to do is use them to cross off my work once finished. Sadly the other day my teacher (who clearly has nothing better to do than to create homework) gave us a massive never ending listing of things to do. Highlighting things as you complete your work can give you a sense of accomplishment.

My last little thing I bring are paperclips. Although they aren’t the main thing I use everyday but when the right time comes they can be very useful. When you need to keep your work into categories or need a fast solution to keeping your papers together that’s when I love to keep my paperclips on deck. Another simple thing is if you forget your bookmark and don’t want to put doggy ears in your book you can use a paperclip instead.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Send me a message if you do a similar tag I”d love to check it out. 🙂

Until next time…Demie xoxo
