Coronation Festival At Buckingham Palace!

Hot, hot, hot!!! I can't believe how hot it is has been in London, 30 degrees. So its good that yesterday  I spent the day in Buckingham Palace. My amazing godmother and her partner managed to get my nan and me tickets to the Queen's coronation festival, celebrating when the Queen was made Queen. It was an awesome day including food stalls, Harry Potter and even a fashion show! :) And it was all held in the Queen's private gardens, but sadly she wasn't there. Anyway, let's get on with the show: 

Our tickets! 

Busy Buckingham, and me!

A royal car display.

Years of Bentleys and Land Rovers.

Nice!

Old fashioned Land Rover!

The Queen's actual car! (Well, one of them!)

Fancy having this thing in your garden?!

A light refreshment...

Homes and Gardens exhibition.

A VERY expensive rocking horse made of wood and glass!

The Queen's corgis get everywhere!

A sort of bird statue.

Now, Harry Potter fans get ready! There was a whole stand dedicated to Harry Potter-ness as a company that make movie props have a royal warrant, so could be held in the gardens. Be prepared for some awesome stuff, Harry Potter fans!

Suspended broom!

Hopefully nobody opened this!

Exspelliarmus!

A band or two in the background.

My favourite of the lot!

A pretty good jazz band, semi-finalists of 2010 Britain's Got Talent.

Best fish and chips ever!! Good enough for a royal family!

I liked the cute mini salmon bagels!

The Ritz have come all the way to Buck Pal, serving champagne and salmon ice-cream!!

Fashion alert!! Even Hunter have managed to appear!

Loving all the bright colours.

Time for the best event! (Well, in my opinion!) A FASHION SHOW!!! Famous models came, including Lily Cole, and showed off their lovely clothes in the beautiful scene of Buckingham gardens. Sadly i'm not sure what company or designer they were showing off, but you can still enjoy the pics anyway!

Raa raa fashion baby! :P

That's a lot of man style!

I really like this glittery maxi this model is showing off.

They make a great couple, don't you think?

Classic black jumpsuit.

Entrance for the models!

Round of applause please! 

Unfortunatly, that is the end of the catwalk, but go awesome twisty tree from Korea!

Loving this amazing car, (AKFB, wink wink!:) )

Is this a vision of the future?!

We all got a complimentary newspaper featuring the Queen!

As well as being amazing enough to get my nan and me tickets to this great event, my godmother brought me a pretty cool pencil!

Here is a close up of the pencil.

And, she got me posh cheese! You may think, big deal, but I am a sucker for cheese! I LOVE it!! 

That's it on Buckingham Palace, but it was amazing!! 

Finally, I won't be able to post for a couple of days as I am going on a school trip to France to visit the WW1 battlefields, but I will give you guys the update on the trip! :)

Book Day!

 

I know, I know, naughty me, I didn't post when I said I would but I have just been very busy! But anyway, lets get on with the awesome costumes of Friday. As you probably know, my school had a delay in us having book day because of construction work, but luckily, we had it yesterday. Here are the costumes! (Please take a looksies at AKFB's fab blog post on the same event: http://anotherkindafashionblog.blogspot.co.uk/)

 

Here we have Tallulah as Coraline. No, wait it is Coraline! :P

 

Tigger has come out to play! Am loving this cute tiger onesie. Get ready to bounce!

 

 

Here we have Caroli-Nerd rocking this Harry Potter outfit! If you would like to take a look at more of Caroli-Nerd's awesomeness, then here is her blog:http://carolinerd-turnthepage.blogspot.co.uk/. Looking like a true Gryffindor Caroli-Nerd!

 

Amy is dressed here as Alaska from Looking For Alaska by John Green (by the way, a REALLY good book and author). I really like her top and shorts. If you want to know where Amy got them from, here is her blog: http://theperksofbeingamy.blogspot.co.uk/.

 

Black converse, black leggins, black tutu, it must mean one thing, the Black Swan has arrived! AKFB is rocking in black!

 

Pretty in pink! The fairy has arrived...

 

I LOVE Deandra's costume!!! Geek chic coming through! I like how she has geeky glasses, a tie and you can't see, but she also used eyeliner to create the freckle effect! Go geeks!!

 

LOL! My amazeboz teacher dressed as Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmatians.

 

Hmm, I think I recognise  this girl from somewhere... Its me, dressed as a Greek goddess, as I said I would in my last post!

Cute and simple!

 

Kadisha is looking cool in her outfit (I don't know what she is dressed up as!)

 

Geek number 2! Onesie + Geek= awesome! This geek is ready for a sleepover I think!

 

Geek Power! :)

Aww, group pic! 

What a great day! I wonder what I'm going to come as next year...

Greek Goddess!

This above is my costume for the book day! I decided to go as greek goddess as my mum had a costume that she wore for a fancy dress party. It has a strap sleeve and long flowy bits on the sleeves. I also like the effect on the dress where it flows from blue to cream. If you like this dress, then here is the link to the outfit website: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Goddess-Princess-Ahrodite-Fancy-Costume/dp/B00DEDO0YC/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1372916511&sr=8-7&keywords=greek+goddess+costume+ladies. It also came with this gold wreath for the hair 

Here it is! So, I am gonna wear this with my dress and converse;) I will do a blog post on Friday of all the costumes at school. 

Finally, the other day I watched the movie Warm Bodies. I decided to review it. 

Warm Bodies is set in the future and most of America has been hit by a zombie virus. Julie (the girl above) finds the zombie R and he kidnaps her. They start to develop a special relationship together. As their relationship grows, something peculiar starts to happen...

This movie is a really good film and is a zombie/romance/comedy film, but isn't really gory or that scary. I really enjoyed it and I thought it was funny and clever. If you are a fan of Twilight then you will love this! Overall, Warm Bodies is a great film and is good for anyone that likes a funny, zombie or a bit of romance!

New Blog, France and Book Day!

This is a short post just to say that one of my friends has just created a new blog called My Embarrassing Life, all about my friend's mishaps in life! She just started today but it is really good. Please take a looksies at: http://khailalolo.blogspot.co.uk/. There are also two things I am really looking forward to which are happening quite soon. One of them is: this Friday my school are having a book day sort of thing, as we didn't have one on the actual book day and our school is going to France in two weeks! :) I'm having trouble thinking of characters to come as, so if you have any ideas then either leave a comment or email me (my email address is on the side!). So please keep a look out in the very near future when I do my posts on these exciting events!
