DANCE | GO HARD OR GO HOME HIP HOP COMPETITION 2014

Hey my lovelies, I haven't posted in quite a while but being a university student with 20 million deadlines it's pretty hard. ( I'm actually currently writing this post whilst in a lecture)

This weekend my university's hip hop society Funky Fresh Collective held the UK's biggest hip hop competition and Trent Dance competed! About a week and a half ago we decided we were going to compete and last week Sunday we started choreographing.

Yes Trent Dance choreophed a whole set in a week and WE CAME SECOND. 

Quick shoutout ehe ( I strongly doubt that they will read this) Well done Sophie, Sabina, Ella, Emily and Annie so proud of us all.

On Thursday Trent Dance held an AGM meeting, I don't actually know what AGM stands for but it's basically where people run to be on committe and members of the club vote.

I went for Clifton Captain, First Team Captain and Vice President. I really wanted to be First Team Captain but I am very happy to say I will be Clifton Captain for 2014/2015 (how lucky are the Clifton intermediates and beginners to have bloblo as a captain!! )

FASHION | TRAINER WISH LIST

New Balance Trainers

Nike Air Max Thea

Nike Air force 180 Mid
Puma Suede Trainers
Converse All Star Low
Nike Roshe Run
Timbalands
Nike Air Max 90

The weather seems to be getting a lot warmer and as I don't like wearing girly flat shoes, it'll soon be time to put away my boots and bring out the trainers. I love to wear casual outfits and finish them off with statement shoes, that could be a pair of banging heels or hot hot trainers. My faves are the Nike Air Force 180 Mids, Tasha Green posted an OTT with these on and I went on a big hunt for them I FINALLY FOUND THEM ! Unfortunately I can't find where to purchase them.  Trainers are so comfy, they're great for walking to and from uni with. So when I get my money tree I'll definitely be adding these to my shoe collection :)

5 Things I Cannot Leave My House Without

Nothing too amazing but these are the basics that I must have in my bag when leaving the house. I have extremely oily skin blotting paper and my studio fix powder help me keep it under control whilst I'm out.  Carmex of course to keep my lips moisturized, I alternate between carmex and vaseline but I do prefer carmex. Moisturizer, I hate having dry hands. Washing your hands after using the toilet and your hands feel ashy no,no,no. Now this is of course not beauty related but I always think I'm hungry when in fact I actually just need water.

C'est La Belle Fleur

There might be some of you that read my blog name and think ''What the hell does that mean?'' and others who know what it means but may be thinking "Why is that her blog name?". I thought I would explain my blog name and the meaning behind it as it does mean something to me.

'C'est La Belle Fleur' - It's The Beautiful Flower

Blossom translated into French is Fleur which means flower.

Why French ? My second language is French. My whole family speak French and I'd say I'm quite fluent in it.

Beautiful ? No, I don't actually think I'm beautiful.

As a young girl I was teased for being overweight, for being too tall, for being 'dumb' and having a 'weird' name.

Constantly being reminded these things made me feel ugly. Growing up I've always been insecure about myself, my name and the way that I look. If I'm really honest I still am quite insecure about myself but I never let it bring me down.

Being a lot more mature now I understand that its okay to be different, and different is Beautiful.

FASHION | WISH LIST

Black Crop Top - Topshop
Jeans - Topshop
Polka Dot Pencil Skirt - Topshop
Suede Chunky Boots - Topshop
Bomber Jacket - Topshop
Pink Bralet - River Island
Leather Chunky Boots - River Island

Its the first week of March and I must say the weather has been really nice for a change. Its not so cold that you need a big coat but its not so warm that you can go out with no jacket. I'm pretty sure this weather won't last too long, but a change in weather for me means SHOPPING!
My two favorite stores are Topshop and River Island, I'm student so unfortunately it will be some time before I purchase any these pieces but I am definitely adding them to my wish list.

I always wear black, so it'd be nice to add a little bit of colour to my wardrobe and this bralet from River Island is HOT.

I have a pair of the Jeffery Campbell Coltrane dupes from New Look and I'm obsessed with them, I plan on adding a few more chunky boots to my shoe collection.
