Etta James

Etta James is a famous jazz/soul/blues/generally amazing singer. Im currenlty in love with her and cant stop listening to her music! My favorite song is At Last, described as a timless classic, from her first album (also names At Last). While looking for videos of Etta James singing live, i came across Adele singing a cover of Etta's song , Fool That I Am. I instantly fell in love it and cant stop listening to Adele's version.




This was her first album realised on Chess records in 1961.

I leave you today with Adele's cover of Fool That I Am:

Radar Detector

This weekend is looking to be a good one. Tonight im off out for a party with good friends and then tomorrow i start working at sainsburys. Sunday I have off to relax ( in my books this means sleep) and then on monday im off to help my Grandad with his garden, were goning to plant some peas so that they will be ready for the summer.

Since tuesday I have had this one song in my head, over and over it plays. It is called radar detector by Darwin Deez. His music is all very addictive and happy. Its the perfect soundtrack for the summer. So now summer looks as if its going to be good.


This is a photo of my friend Romily, shes very pretty dont you think? This is another photo that im using in my finals.

Do you like cooking? I do and im very sad to see the end of the season for The Delicious Miss Dahl, a cookery show by Sophie Dahl, granddaughter of the great Roald Dahl! She cooks delicious yet extremly simple food. I can't wait till the next season arrives!


For now i leave you with the addictive Radar Detector:
(The video makes me laugh!)

Tickle Me Pink

It's been a long time since I last blogged, but now im back!
The past few months have been very busy, what with me doing hardly anything ha. But I have managed to get myself a job and slowely everything is coming into place.

So many things are happening at the moment, im currently sitting a photography exam which is split over 4 sessions, each 2hrs long. In a couple of months I will be sitting my 2nd Psychology exam which I have no idea how im going to pass, this looks like im going to have to do some serious revision!

  This is one of my favorite photos that I have taken for my recent photography unit. What do you think?

Imelda May

Today my friend let me borrow a CD that i've been dying to get my hands on for ages. Love Tattoo By Imelda May. Her music is all rock and roll. She has a great voice, with her smokey vocals working their way round the lyrics. Would recommend for anyone who likes music from the likes of Nina Simone or Seastick Steve.

Drivin' Me Wild

So its been a long time since I last blogged. This mainly because I have been so busy, although thats not really an excuse. I have also been nagged at to update my blog, so here it is.


What do you think of this Leather Satchel? I really like it and I havnt seen other bags like it. Its only £30 here.


And what about these boots? This is somthing im going to have to save up for, especially at £120. You can find them here.

What have you been up to the past week? I have been hanging out with friends and annoying some neighbours with singstar! Tomorrow is the end of the half-term and so i'm back to college. I could really do with a lay in, but I will just have to wait till the weekend.

I leave you today with Drivin' Me Wild by Common ft. Lily Allen:

Urban Outfitters

I had the day off college today and have tidying up around the house and searching the internet for some interesting stuff. I came across this blog: http://blackeiffel.blogspot.com/, its very similar to A Cup Of Joe, so i would recommend a visit if you enjoyed that blog!

As i did not have anytime spare yesterday to blog, I thought I would make a nice big post.

I was looking through some clothes on Topman's website and came across this cool t-shirt.

For only £14 I would say that's a bargin.

I also found this on Urban Outfitters:


It would make a great birthday present or just as a little treat for yourself!
Also from Urban Outfitters:


This is such a cool clock, you could always use your old vinyl records and make your own!

Today I leave you with Waiting For An Angel by Ben Harper
