Ricardo Flowers
This is the first photo of Ricardo and I, taken on the First of February, i think...? Although it is plain hideous, but we went to see a horror film together (romantic) I'll always love it. I don't think my year really started until a party a few days before this photo, I got to see him outside of his workplace and if anyone who knows me reads this they can tell you it was magic to say the least. On the 13th of May, he became my wonderful boyfriend after 6 months of visiting his shop to see him. It was worth every second.

Hair.Hair.Hair.Hair.
A month or two after the last picture I changed my hair color to Black wit Purple dyed ends, with Katy Perry as my Hairspiration. I LOVED IT. I still weep at the fact I dyed it all black, it was so beautiful and so incredibly bright! I used BeeUnique.co.uk to order Special Effects Hair dye in Deep Purple. Absolutely a hair color I will have again!

Little Boots
During March, I went to London for Record Store Day 2013 and managed to catch one of my all time music idols Little Boots also known as Victoria Hesketh at Phonica Records. She did a Disco-funk & Electronica DJ set and it was amazing. I love her so much!

MCM Comic Con
In May, My cousin, his friend Wayne, my friend Becky and I headed down to Excel in London for the Comic Convention. Of course, we couldn't just go in normal clothes! I was Blondie from Sucker Punch, I found this photo on Flickr,i can't believe i made it onto Flickr! haha. Becky went as Tomb Raider 2013, along with My cousin Ben as Alex Weiss and Wayne was dressed in a full Connor Kenway get up, Assassins Creed style. It was so much fun!

Food Glorious Food
When Ricardo was living in Hackney Wick i literally lived there with him 4 days a week. All i can remember is how much food we ate. How i'm not obese i have no idea! We ate Dominos, Indian takeaway, Kebabs, Chips, & Steak! His oven broke so we ended up living off of stir-fry and steak and potatoes, can't say i was complaining hehe... We also ate a tonne of desserts, including the one in this photo, Eton Mess. PHOAR.
Really good memories thanks to food... I'm hungry now.

It's a Glamorous Life
This is me and my friend Joanne at her and he boyfriend Mark's 21st.
I eventually Dyed my hair back to black (weep) but it does seem to suit me very much. This year has really brought out the sassy Pin-Up girl in me, I've always l o v e d pin-up but i'e never had the guts to wear my hair up in victory rolls or to roll my fringe. I did it a few times at school and college and got weird looks but i am coy no more! You often don't see me without Pin-Up finesse now and I got the biggest compliment from a colleague, saying i looked like Dita Von Teese! *starstruck*

Model?
Here i am being shot by Hannah Davis during August'13. I loved these photos and how they came out, really magical and swamp princess-like. I had a lot of fun getting in a river to do a photo shoot, surely wasn't a normal experience. I honestly would like to try much more this year to Model for some Pin-up style photography. I had a lot of fun and maybe i'd be good at it!

Goodbye Hackney Wick!
Towards the end of August, Ricardo moved home from Hackney, I think I was much more upset than he was! At least he's a Hop, skip and jump from my house now!
I fell in love with Hackney Wick, often people grimace at the mention of 'Hackney' as it isn't the kindest of places to strangers. However, it was one of the most cultural, high spirited, welcoming places i had been to!
Ricardo lived minutes from the station and had a Balcony which allowed us to see half way across London Including canary wharf & the Olympic Stadium. Where it was summer, we came home one day to find that the local bar had set up a street party with a barbecue and ping pong tables! So Quaint and lovely!
This place is without a doubt my dream home away from home,and i'll never forget the beautiful summer I spent there with Ricardo x

Graduate Girl
My big sister Chloe graduated from University this year, She'll probably kill me for putting her name in a blog post but she'll probably never find this.... probably. She graduated a Childcare Nursing course with honors and now woks in a hospital,and in hope she doesn't find this, I'm bloody proud. I even had a little cry at the fact she had done well, and because we're not little anymore!
Congrats Cozzie x

Warpaint Warpaint
Following my sisters graduation I went to see my absolute favorite band in the entire world, Warpaint. They're a four piece dream-rock band from America, all made up of Lovely ladies called Jenny, Theresa, Stella & Emily. I've loved Warpaint since 2010 and they really have helped me through a lot in those three years. The best part was seeing Jenny Lee Lindberg my idol and the bassist in the flesh.I love her so much and she is so beautiful. I could gush for hours about how much i love them and discuss the different influential themes their music portrays but i'll just say that if you really love trance indie, and you really really feel like losing yourself for an hour, Hit Warpaint up.
Lie on the floor, play them loud and tune. out.

Skin Deep
I am a lover of Tattoos. Much unlike most of family, I love body art. I think it is the most beautiful way, when done right mind you, to express yourself and your personality. I also think it's a nice way to remind yourself daily that life is beautiful and any kind of art is beautiful.
So upon turning 18 i booked myself in with Keely Rutherford of East Side Tattoo, and within a month i had my own tattoo. This tattoo is inspired by William Morris' Cay design for textile, which reminds me of my mum and i think its very pretty! I think i might have the whole flower colored Red soon, as the pink makes it look unfinished in some lights. But i love it so much.

Hit the lights.
A big part of my year of course has been spent at college, I'm studying Technical theater so we do basically everything for the performers, they just turn up and perform. It's been a stressful year to begin with, but I've enjoyed every show we've done. We worked so hard on the show in this photo, without our tutor too. It was the best show we've done. Next year we all boot off to Uni, Hopefully I can get somewhere in Tour management or a part of a Tour crew.

Alala isa qwassa sexah
In September i very very reluctantly said goodbye to my best friend and off to uni she whizzed. I am so proud of her for doing well at sixth form and i know she'll do me proud at uni. I cried so much when she left, it's just not the same without my silly best friend. But of course I am very happy for her,she's living the dream at university.
Aaliyah has always been there for me since the day we met in Year seven and she offered me an ice pole, through the bickering of friendship groups, though the boyfriends & school. I knew she was a pal and a half. I love this little midget.
SO...
That sums up my Thirteen photos of the year, I hope you enjoyed reading it, but if you didn't make it past photo Three, Heck you tried!
I hope to have an even more exciting post next year of all the adventures i've had! :----)
Ciao
