From High End to High Street

Hiya

My favourite season is here.... Autumn! I'm so happy, back to fairy lights and cosy nights. I also love autumnal words, my all time faves are...Autumnal, Fall, Leaves, Pumpkins and Cinnamon (smells lovely in candles :) ).

But there is awalys one thing I hate. Wardrobe change. I bet some people are asking why..? I hate updating my wardrobe, all my breezey summer clothes out, replaced with big oversized jumpers and thick coats. 

Shopping is one of my favourte things to use up time in my life and shopping for the new trends and the lastest fashion buzz is always a fun treat. Instead of looking at Vouge magazines and the female winter window displays  I tend to stray away from the new female trends and head towards the mens department to look at whats in fashion there.

I know for sure that half of you are thinking 'what a wirdeo'  but when the cold cathes the fashion world, every store has a leather jacket with faux fur or a big green kharki coat with a army feel to it.

The mens range has a nw spectrum of clothes I enjoy browsing through like check shirts layered underneath a wolly jumper and a dark coloured trench coat topped off with a grey scarf and matching beanie. 

I like looking through the high end brands that cost thousands and then sesarch in a high street store like 'Primark' for the cheaper alternatives.

I was looking at a Prada bag (which I know is VERY expensive) but searching around I found a similar bag in New Look and I love it! 

I also like searching through charity shops to find vintage and statement pieces of clothing, may it be a neckalce or a top.  My wardrobe is covered in a lot of differently ctergorized styles and brands. 

You never know what you can find if you dig a little deeper....

Time to Travel

Hiya

This generation needs to travel the world to understand how to truly live your life.

I have visted many different places in my life. Greece ( thousands of times as I am Greek), Paris, Lake Garda, Rome, London, Edinburgh, Wales, The Isle of Whight, Budapest and The North Pole (when I was 5 to meet Santa for Christmas).

From seeing all these places and looking at their cultures, I would easily live in any of the places above because it is so much more lively and intersesting and exciting than South London.

In Greece, I gobbled down a lot of delicous food like Souvlaki, Moussaka, and Greek salad. I also meet a lot of old friends and family who live in Greece. I danced all night with some old life long friends to old traditional music at a wedding and most all I enjoyed speaking the language which you don't often get to do when travelling, but being a Greek I learnt it as a young child.

When travelling in France with my family and once with school, I have enjoyed the amazing veiws at the top of the Eiffel Tower and  driving around the Arc de Triumph. I enjoyed creating hilarious memories with some close friends. I also remeber really vividly spending hours queing up for rides and taking bad photos all around DisneyLand.

From my time in Lake Garda on a school trip, I remeber the hotel room balcony which overlooked a tall green grass covered mountain. I can remeber buying incrediby rediculously expensive make-up and covering oursselves with it to make us look terible and completely funny at the same time. I also loved the boat rides over rivers, lakes and seas where we could take a perfect selfie to post on instagram.

Ok. I think you get the idea, and I really don't to brag (although I believe I kinda already have done, Sorry.) I enjoyed myself.

These days I just see my school friends doing stupid stuff like engraving a heart in a brick wall down the park or taking 'cool' photos for Insta, FaceBook and Twitter.

It's ridiculous when the could be going into London too see BI Ben, the Houses of Parliament or Buckingham Palace. Or window shopping down Oxford Street or Bond Street or getting a free personal shopper in Topshop.

I see intellengent people being down-graded to 'Dumb' and 'Thick' people.

So if anyone is reading this, ONE day in this month go and explore a part of your city you haven't been to yet.

You never know, that may be your favourite place from now on...

A Whole New World of Blogging

Hiya

I am very new to this whole world of blogging. I have always wanted somewhere to write down what I feel and any problems or situations I come across. I thought about writing a diary but then I thought 'what's the point of that? No-ones going to read it! It's just a waste of time.' so then I left that idea lingering around in my head for a couple of weeks until I came across 'Blogging'. 

At first I didn't really understand it, I thought it was about videos and Youtube but then I found out that's 'vlogging', video blogging. I typed into Google, as everyone does, 'Blogging' and found out that its all about writing down about your day, fashion, food, art, gardening, or really whatever you feel like writing about. I aslo found out that people read your blog to find out what your into or to see the lastest trend. 

So, I tried it out. 

Welcome to my first ever blog post! I really don't expect many people to read this blog because I am a terrible writer but I'm going to keep blogging beacuse it goves me a way to get away, escape if you preffer, out of my crazy manic life. 

I am a 14 year old girl, growing up in a grotty town in South London. I go to the local comprehensive high school, which is even more grotty. I love dancing and fashion and most of all photography, so if you see any photos on this blog, creds to me! Anyways, I have a annyoing little brother who keeps bothering me for help to figure out the Xbox or his laptop or his moblie phone. I have buch of crazy and too enthusiatic friends who are in to anime and old 60's music, and I have my best friend who I have know since I was born, literally! And of corse you have the enemies who come and go accoring to who you make friends with, dress and talk.  

By now, I guess you are thinking "Wow! what an amazing person", or not. You may be thinking "who's this person?". Well, I'm am called Cleo. The hippie behind the words, sentances and posts. 

I would absolutley love it if anyone, if there is anyone, would stick around and read some of my amazing blog posts, well not that amazing, so just my blog posts. 

So, Thanks for reading the start of a new adventure,
