What we can learn from Legally Blonde

By -



Legally Blonde is a great film- there is absolutely no denying that! Elle Woods, the main character, is everything I want to be and I think she is truly an inspirational character...she is definitely the epitome of a girly girl who is so into clothes and make up but she has brains too, and this links in with some strong feminist themes throughout the film. Here's some lessons you can learn from Legally Blonde (and if you haven't watched it yet, watch it NOW!)

1) Don't judge a book by it's cover. Elle is gorgeous and your stereotypical 'bimbo'- blonde, beautiful and caring 100% about her image. However, she is considerate, loving, caring, and incredibly intelligent- which never fails to surprise people! Don't judge someone by their looks.

2) Don't put men before yourself. Whilst Elle did manage to unleash her true potential as a lawyer by chasing the 'love of her life' at the same time she realises that putting a man and his wants/needs before her own is not okay- and this is something important to remember. 



3) Being a good friend is so important. She helps Paulette to get her dog back and to get a date and she helps her fellow law colleague to get a date, as well as assisting her sorority sister in her trial. All of it pays off in the end and helps her friends to achieve happiness, which is great!


4) Never let men take advantage of you simply because you're a woman. Just because you were born with a vagina doesn't mean that's what should get you a promotion at work, recognition for achievements and so on. Don't let any men (or women, for that matter) take advantage of you, in the work place or ever! 



5) Always have faith in yourself. You can do literally whatever you like if you work hard enough, dream big enough and put your mind to it! Don't doubt yourself, otherwise other people will too. 



Love from,

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri...

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

By -
It never fails to make me smile when I get nominated for a bloggers award out of the blue, and it never fails to make me smile when I am called an inspiration- making my nomination for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award from A Blogs Life one that made me overly happy indeed! A Blogs Life is a very unique styled blog, and the only one of it's kind that I follow- it is run by all the family, which I think is incredibly sweet! So thank you to the whole lot of you for nominating me- I appreciate it more than you know! The Rules 1) After being nominated, write a post, starting off with a mention of the blogger who nominated you, as a small thank you to them! 2) Have a bit of fun and come up with seven facts about yourself.  3) Nominate 15 bloggers that inspire you for the award! The problem with being nominated for bloggers awards, is that they nearly always ask you for facts about yourself! On top of this, I recently did a post named "50 facts about me" ...

The final words to my ex.

Today's blog post is late, I know, but that's because it's been very hard for me to write.  This is going to be the last time I write about my ex boyfriend and my previous relationship. Effectively, I am giving it all a final goodbye.  Of course  I know my relationship ended on New Year's Eve. Unofficially, it probably ended long before then. I haven't seen my ex since 27th of December, since last year, which is a really weird thought. And whilst I had accepted it was over, I had a teeny tiny part of me that still loved him and hoped we would get back together.  I had deleted him from all social media except facebook, boxed up all of my things from him and taken down all of the photos. I got a new phone (by coincidental timing) and did not keep his number, nor did I send him my new one. But I kept him on facebook so we had some way of getting in touch should we need to talk about anything (getting back together).  And then I was told he wa...
