on fire

51 songbirds

sabine from the utterly incredible blog psynopsis featuring her personal style and other wonderful things, recently gave me challenge. . . namely the picture #10 challenge, which requires me to re-post my 10th picture on this blog! above is my 10th photo ever posted; coco rocha in wish report #29, i've included two other photos from the same editorial, as well :) also, the gorgeous rachel from ..it's simple love.. recently tagged me to answer a series of questions! her blog is brilliant and showcases everything beautiful and inspiring!

what band is your 'go-to-band' while in the car?
i don't have a particular 'go-to-band,' although i do love all the songs by 'owl city', he has the sweetest most incredible voice, ever. i also think that lisa mitchell and ladyhawke have really unique music, and french band 'the plasticines' is another favourite :) 
what is your pet-peeve?
i tend to become quite annoyed when people tYp3 LiK dI$! i appreciate it when others are grammatically correct and try to spell properly :) i also find it extremely discombobulating when someone asks me to follow them, it usually makes me want to not follow them! it's not particularly polite, and it makes you sound so desperate! so, please don't ask, i will follow you if i want to :)
who is your celebrity crush?
i try not to to crush on people i can't have, although jamie dornan is so amazing! probably a little too old for me, but . . . he's irish ;) ah, need i say more?!
how would your friends describe you?
i'm guessing they'd say that i'm crazy, that i talk and laugh too much, that i wear way too much l'eau d'issey and that i'm obsessed with bow headbands, i quote my best friend, " woah! how many headbands have you got?! who are you, blair waldorf?! " upon seeing my mini headband collection, haha!
where is the furthest place you have been?
the furthest place i've been to would probably be either china or thailand, both places are stunning! i can't wait to travel the world with my closest friends, after i finished school; we plan to visit paris, new york, london, everywhere :)
what's the most important thing in a friendship to you?
honesty of course, i don't think a true friendship can exist without trust! friends that can make you smile and laugh no matter the circumstance, are the best :)
if you could change your name what would it be?
hmm. . . i seriously have no idea whatsoever, although i do know that my parents were deciding between chantelle or stella!
unibrow or mustache, if you had to have one?
this is difficult. . .  i'm going to have to go with unibrow, although i'd honestly prefer neither!

i'm terrible at choosing, so instead of picking a few people to answer some questions, i'd love for you tell me a bit more about yourself by answering some or all of these questions. . .

(1) what is your biggest indulgence in life?!
(2) what is your favourite perfume or scent?!
(3) what inspires you, and what do you aspire to do?!
(4) summer or winter?!
(5) any favourite holiday destinations?!
(6) are you a jewellery, bag or shoe kind of girl?
(7) if you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?!
(8) tell me some of your favourite books and movies!

words

44 songbirds
" Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Mobile phones are being used in class. Detention becomes suspension. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth and mum was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest. War was only a card game. And the only drug you knew was cough medicine. When wearing a skirt didn’t make you a slut. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we couldn’t wait to grow up. "
