WEBSITE OVERHAUL: HELP NEEDED

Bascially I'm a lot worse with the internet and websites than I thought I was, I want to make this page reflect me, and I don't know how. I've used the basic template, but I'd like to create buttons on my page, so instead of having eveything on the one page, I can move/hide/neaten this page up.

Anyone with any tips, know how, or knowledge on who I can ask please let me know :) i'd like to actually be able to categorize what i'm doing and use it as an actual website for myself.

:)

ps. I suck SUCK SUCK! at this stuff

That Old Body Saying

At the moment i'm having a bit of a body/style crisis! I have no idea how to wear anything in my wardrobe  or what to do with my body (this isn't helped by the fact i've put on 3/4 stone: with no change in eating!!!) I'm a delightful pear shape, so although i'm small on top, my bloody hips won't hide behind anything! Currently i'm not feeling confident in anything above the knee (years of swimming as a youngster have given me lovely swimmers legs, little short trunks that need covering or slimming!) my fail safe comfy outfit at the moment is a pair of straight leg jeans that are lacking in the original navy, and baggyish top/jumper (with a sight shape) etc. So not anything flattering at all!

Any ideas? 
I'm an 10ish on top, and 12 on bottom, not large I know but there is 8 inches between my shoulders and hips, and a whopping 11 between my waist and hips (bloody hips!!) and i've become very disproportioned now!

Obviously on a Monday instead of concentrating on all the photoshopping need doing i've been window shopping online, looking at lovely clothes, trying to get inspiration, (wishing I had more than £70 to last me until payday) but  I just end up feeling a bit glum, and can't work out if any of these lovlies will suit my shape, let alone what size I should be going for (bigger to balance?!) .. so bags it was. Bags can't make you feel fat and i'm forever breaking mine. Is this just me, or do bags give up after a few months? I probably stuff mine with far to many things in all honesty..

 All Zara

Leopard Print Satchel

Blue City Briefcase 

 Canvas Tote

Tan & Black Satchel 

Pink Satchel 

The navy Briefcase is the bag I want to purchase the most (also one of the most expensive- typically)
Cheaper alternative?

Clearly have a little thing for satchels, always have, always will!

Any ideas on how to approach my wardrobe/body crisis?

Tattoo Lust

For as long as I can remember I've wanted a tattoo. When I was at school every girl had them on their hip bone or the 'tramp stamp' lower back, neither of these were a personal favourite of mine, or an area I wanted. Over the years tattoo's and piercings have definately become mainstream, and all the areas i'd like them in over time have become also, however I still long for one in these areas.

I used to want winding flowers around my feet and ankles, natural, always in a henna brown type. I wanted a tiny intimate one behind my ear, that noone would see, one on my wrist. 

The one i've wanted most is a larger design on my rib area following my natural curve. The idea originally started off coming from my hip area following the hip/waist curve to the ribs/back, but with the prospect of having kids in the future I figured i'd have to redesign. Lately i'm lusting after something on my back also, all I want to be natural, delicate, pretty, not out of place when I wear delicate clothes and all easily hide-able.

I'm still waiting on my first one, as i've never found that correct design or managed to design one in my head that i've ben 100% happy with.. sigh.. the longings here more than ever!

Anyone else lusting like I am?

I heard this little lady Birdy singing a cover of Bon Ivers Skinny Love on radio 1, it really is a beautiful cover, her voice is effortless, old beyong her years and one of those rare songs I would happily have on repeat, I heard she was 14 at the beggining of the week and my mouth dropped, each time I hear it im still trying to imagine it being the voice of a 14 year old and my brain just can't comprehend such a thing. 

Does anyone else remember being 14, akward, no idea who you were or what you wanted to be, struggling to find something you were good at in school that you could focus on? Fast forward 9 years, I don't feel to different, i'm still akward, shy, trying to find something to focus on and a talent.. there are some things I know I can do, I can make patterns, I can make clothes, but as a far to critical person I don't see this as a talent, just something i've learned that i've got to the end point of and can't progess. 

How at 14 someone is so talented is beyond me! 

Do you think everyone has a talent (hidden sometimes), or are there some people who just have an exceptional one? 

..not forgetting the people who are great at everything!

A few years ago I had a school friend (still is) who was great at everything. She was on athletic teams, played instruments, had a lovely singing voice, could act, was a great public speaker, everyone loved her because she was kind and cared for everyone, was funny and a straight A student (I actually had a male friend of the same equivalence, they ended up marrying, they are a perfect ridiculously talented couple and I despair at how ridiculous there kids will be!), and I was always struck by how she could be great at everything, she just was though! 

How?

I'm sitting at work with such a funny image of me at 14, akward beyond belief, and how not much has changed ha! Was anyone a cool 14 year old?

5 Lovely Happenings

1. It's Friday! Without a doubt i'm currently living for the weekend, and I know this isn't the best way, but I just can't shake wanting a saturday lie in and taking the day slowly at the moment.
2. MGMT are playing on the radio, I've loved them since there first song, unfortunately I saw them at Bestival a few years ago and they were such a let down. Worse was i'd missed going to see Chase & Status who i'd also loved forever because of them! Bummer.
3. I have 2 Boots £5 no7 vouchers! Any ideas on what to buy? The last few i've bought nail varnish with (currently wearing gun metal- yum), but I own far to many nail varnishes. I'm not too clued up on makeup so was thinking maybe just a nice tinted moisturiser as my one is running out.
4. Tomorrow i'll be seeing my brother acting in a play with my partner and a few family members, this'll be a nice evening out with family, something different and a way to break up the weekend!
5. The sun's shining through my window at work, granted its bitter wind outaside, but i'm still standing by spring must be around the corner.

Happy Friday!

1. It's pancake day! (shrove tuesday cordially invites you to eat until your stomach explodes), I'm excited to get home and enjoy making ridiculously indulgent chocolate/sugar/sprinkles pancakes with Mr.
2. I endured eating a chinese at the weekend whilst watching take me out with a few friends, surely difficult. Yummy! Just how Saturdays in winter(?!) are meant to be spent!
3. My Mr Bean seems to be having a great day, his company have congratulated (acknowledged) and rewarded him for his hard work (and getting them a bloogy good profit). Nothing like a little encouragement (acknowledgement) from a stupidly large company to keep you motivted. Hearing his happy voice on the phone makes me smile, i'm proud as he is the hardest worker I know and drives a stupidly long way!
4. Is it warming up do I feel? Despite my car being frozen over completely this morning, I was outside for 11minutes exactly on a phone call in just a jumper and jeans. Welcome spring!
5. My skin looks much clearer and feels softer today. Last night I attempted to restart a skin cleaning regime, and used a 3 minute clay mask, today results! Must be a keeper.

Now im going to read up on everyones blogs, look at pretty outfits, and maybe get inspired to wear something more interesting(flattering/visually pleasing/ but I like my comfy clothes today) than a grey jumper and jeans to work this week!

5 Lovely Happenings

1. I HAVE V FESTIVAL TICKETS! So that's something lovely to look forward to with the boyfriend and two folks!
2. I've never been more inspired to do photography, we had an interesting meeting at work yesterday, and its made me want to push myself with product photography so i'll be buyign some little backdrop bits and playing around (I do need a portfolio etc.)
3. It's Friday, need more be said? I think there's a lovely little weekend coming up, one of my boyfriends friends is over from Ireland, seeing family, relaxing :)
4. There was a sample sale at work the other day and for the first time I came away with bits for me, usually my relatives/mother get a haul (it's a fair few garments for a tenner), but this time I was lucky, 8 things for a tenner!
5. I'm really happy today, work smerk, im exhausted, have a headache, and a severe cramped stomach  (for no reason) but i'm really happy!

And so ends my 5 lovely happenings (so far) today!

Can anyone be more perfect? 2 for the price of 1!

I still can't get over these two, and the younger third beauty.

I can't even comprehend my jealousy!

I've just discovered weheartit.com, i've often seen on a few blogs great pictures and all the tags are all linked to this website so I went a'looking and this is without a doubt the place for inspiration! I can't wait to start making folders and having pictures scattered everywhere!

Following my (soon to be) regular 5 Lovely Happenings:

1. I found my lovely ipod after a few months of it being mislaid, and now I have my music to listen to whilst on the bus once again!

2. V Festival lineup's been announced! I need to get a ticket, infact it was my boyfriend who rung me this morning about it, so fnigers crossed, we haven't been to a festival together yet, and i've only been to Bestival before!

3. It's Tuesday meaning one step closer to the weekend; I'm going to have a think up and find some free things we can do to get out of the house and go have a little adventure!

4. With my partner being away for a work meeting one night this week i've decided to stay at home (parents) for the evening, as it's in the next town i'll be able to have a lie in for work, and spend the whole evening with them, which'll be lovely (so silver lining to missing him/sleeping alone that evening)

5. I applied for a graduate training scheme, and although I didnt get in, I got a fantastic email from one of the women involved in it saying I was much more suited to the other half of the programme (there was one route or the other, they only had an opening for one of the routes), and that she was putting me forward for the other route, so when something came up I would be considered- this really boosted my confidence as hearing nothing back from employers gets you down imaginably!

I'm starting to feel fairly positive with writting all these little things that are making me smile, I still have a lot of things on my mind but thinking about things and giving myself a smile is working wonders at the moment!
