A Decorative Peplum Matter

Todays Item of choice is the almighty Peplum top. Creating a brilliant figure and being spot on trend for this season. However as I've got a heap load of homework I've decided to keep it down to the tip top Three. 



Bright And Cheery: 

Although outside my window at the moment the weathers not bright and cheery I thought, why not start with the spring blaster? Great for a casual day out or possibly paired with a pencil skirt for a more formal day?Also this beautiful top is a bargain too being only £12... I'd advise you to grab one soon, before they're all gone! Link for the glorious top 


Girly Spotted:

This little number is lovely. Being very simple yet eye catching, it has got to be my favourite of the three. On sale currently for only £18, I'd say buy buy buy it now! Here's a link to the gem!


Owl Peplum Perhaps?: 

I've never myself been a huge fan of the cute owls on clothes trend, however when I saw this one I thought a little different. Being very basic in good old monochrome, this top is a bargain for just under £10. Heres the place to clickety click

P.s: Could you pull off the peplum top?

4 Indie Rock Bands you should be listening to

I know I haven't posted for two weeks so I thought I should start March well and get back into posting frequently. So for today it's about 4 bands if not already, you should be listening to.

Peace: 
I went and saw them live last weekend at the NME Awards tour in London. They're a indie rock band and they also have a new album called 'In Love' Coming out on the 25th of this month... Definitely worth pre-ordering if you ask me... 

Best Song: Bloodshake (On EP Delicious)



A band that's in my must see list, having a southern Californian vibe to them making cracking tunes that are a must listen. Having 2 albums with 'Here' being released last May... 

Best Song: Man On Fire (On 'Here' Album)

 

Only Recently discovering them, they're a really chilled band that you can listen to in any mood. Only having EP's are a real shame but hopefully an album will be out soon (Fingers crossed) 

Best Song:  For All We Know (On For All We Know EP) 



Their new album 'Cannibals With Cutlery' was released on the 24th of Feb this year. It's totally worth buying and I'd recommend it to anyone.. 
My Crooked Saint - EP Free to download here...

Best song: Cold Skin (On Cannibals With Cutlery)

Obtaining jewellery of a classy standard

I don't think I am alone when it comes to absolutely loving jewellery! So I decided that after sorting out my bedroom that I'd do a post on my favourite 3 'obtained' jewellery pieces! 

Making it to it's much much much deserved first place spot is a piece that I've had so centuries!
The beautiful pearl necklace. This I obtained as a young child off of my Nana when we used to play jewellery shops. So here is the elegant gem:


Numero dos! This is my tribal favourite, obtained as a birthday gift donkeys years ago, from my long time best friend in a hamper filled with other treasures. Thank you muchly for this one: 

Thirdly, my Rhino amulet. This hasn't got a cool story but I'll try to make it sound interesting... As I was running extremely early for a rendezvous with my dentist, I decided to take a prolonged search through a charity store. Upon my search I came across many a dazzling piece, however I only had £2 on me as the train ticket was overly priced. Almost disappointed with myself for not finding anything I walked head down towards the door (the shame of not buying anything I ogled ) Almost foot out of the store I stopped and saw this wooden Amulet and scooped it up. To my relief was only £1.50! BARGAIN... So this is how my Rhino Amulet found its way home to it's rightful owner (me) and here's the evidence: 


Hopefully you liked my pieces as much as i do!

Beanies on a new level?

Exams for the moment are now finally over so I can go back to my much beloved routine of posting!
So as a member of the Next Blogger Network, I thought it'd be nice to post about one of their suggested topics on this cute noticeboard that they have. I was umming and awwing slightly over which one to chose, mainly because I'd happily write about any of them! Then I saw the beanie related topic and thought that is the one for me! (Mainly because I have a friend that constantly wears them, so I thought maybe they should give one of these a try out.)
From there I was a little baffled as where to continue on the whole beanie business, but then I saw this:

If you're thinking is that a beanie that's also headphones, you are spot on! Stylish, suave and savvy I think that it's a steal for only £10!
Where you can purchase this beauty!

I would definitely recommend buying one of these because not only is it a 2 in one job, I am loving the cable knit design on the whole thing, and it's wearable being a lady or a gent!

P.s: Would you wear this even if it gave you hat hair?!

Winter favourites

Music is a key element to my life as it is too many people. I would say that my style varies tremendously. One second I can be happily listening to some sweet Ben Howard, then the next Dizzee Rascal. So without a further second wasted I am going to post my top winter favourites that I think everyone should love. (Little note; This is in no specific order, as my opinions change.)


Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons 



Radioactive - Imagine Dragons 


Suck It And See - Arctic Monkeys 


I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift (What is life without a bit of TayTayz?)


Down Down Down - Charlie Simpson (Oh yes, that minx from busted...)


Smother - Daughter 



Default - Django Django 


If You Got The Money - Jamie T (His voice, oh, my, gosh)


Sweet Nothing - Florence Welch, Calvin Harris 


Teenage Daughter _ Dog Is Dead 


I hope you love these as much as I do!

P.s: Feel free to tell me about your winter favourites, or feedback on mine!

The new year, a couple days in.

It's now a couple days into the new year and so far we've survived (well I'm presuming that you have, otherwise I'm baffled as to how you're reading my post.) So I'd like to congratulate you and wish you a happy new year, although it may be a few days late on my behalf.
Today I decided now that school is back into full swing, I'd like to bring up the oh so familiar 'New Year Resolutions.' Kick starting with my ones:

1.) Read 150 books - So far I have started 1, which for those that are interested, it is John Greens 'Paper Towns'. SO FAR INTRIGUED!
2.) Keep my room tidy - Which is already proving to be a challenge as I as you'll possibly get to know am the most untidy human one could ever meet.
3.) Enjoy life a little bit more (Euphoria) - This one I thought was sweet and a good idea to set myself on, because who wants to make their resolution; "Be a sad miserable toad and slump around till 2014"?
4.) Learn and grow - For those that actually know me I really needn't literally grow, otherwise I will have to slump underneath a door frame to get through. Which doesn't seem like an exiting thing to do and it'll also be bad on my already awful posture!
5.) Yellow - Interpret this as you wish however, I've done so as buying a new bag in the most vibrant of Yellows and invested in some extra-ordinarily bright nail varnish. Retail therapy is a must!

Actually I ought to leave you on this note, as I don't want to already break one of my new years resolutions this early and tidy thy room, as there are lingering 3 glasses, 2 plates and a pile of laundry to hang up!

Obviously,
Marmie Bell! xx


P.s: Leave your New Year Resolutions in the comments box, I'd love to hear them!
