My passion for skating.


Today my post is about my skating and my passion for it.

I have been skating for about two years now and it is defiantly something I love! When Penny Boards came out and everyone got one, I obviously got one and that was my first board. I got it from a surf shop in St Ives. It then took me an hour to learn how to skate and I was so happy with myself. Over that summer I had some of my friends come over with their penny boards and we skated all day and my Mum took some photos for us.












 I skated pretty much every day to get better and better and then in September my brother got his first deck. I got bored of my penny and kept stealing my brothers deck and learnt have to skate on that deck. I then got a t-shirt of a local brand called Thrashion and I was asked to model it and promote it in a online magazine at mount hawke skate park in November and I stole my brother's board for that.


 



Finally on 16th of November I got my first deck and fell straight away in love with. Its a Girl skateboard and it came from Nottingham. It was a custom deck so my Dad picked all the parts of it for me, and on my birthday he wrapped every part of the board individually.
Now I only use my board for when I go to skate parks. I don't like doing tricks, I have a fear off falling off and breaking something. So hopefully this year I'm going to get a long board and get back into my cruising because I prefer doing that and going really fast. I've always wanted to learn to skate but now that I have my deck I have realised that I don't want to do tricks.

Fun Weekend.

At the weekend I went to Maenporth with my best friend Sam. I've know Sam for 13 years now and he means so much to me.

Our Outfits.
Yes it is autumn now but it was really hot on this day we went to Maenporth so both of our outfits were suitable for the weather conditions we had.
My outfit is a casual comfy outfit. My top is from Newlook and its really comfortable. Yet again I am wearing a checkered shirt. (Like I said in my other fashion blog post), I do love my checkered shirts and I have a lot of them. This one is from Marks and Spencers and its made out of very soft fabric which is nice against your skin. But on this day I decided to tie it around my waist. My shorts are from H&M and they have rips in them which makes them look old and cool. I love these shorts! Finally my vans are from Vans. I absolutely love these pair of Vans. I have 3 pairs of Vans and these are deffinatlely my favourite and they're my favourite shoes too. You will be seeing a lot of these shoes in my posts because I wear them all the time for everything. Such as: skating, going to town, beach, walking, parties, meals ect.








Sam's Outfit:
My outfit is comfortable and great for any event. My top is a baseball style short sleeved top from Topman I really enjoy wearing simple tops like that because I think there not too complicated. My jeans are skinny jeans from Topman, they are super comfortable and you can wear them with everything and everywhere! I've recently really got into wearing jeans. My denim shirt, is from Primark and over summer I thought it's great for just going to beach or for walks and I really like it! My shoes are Converses from Converse and I really like them I got them in summer because I really wanted a pair and I decided to get white ones and they are super comfortable and great for everyday activity! I also wore black style vans and they are just great for everything because you can wear them everywhere. 






Thank you Sam for taking the photos of me. Go check out his instagram: @sam.mca

Later on that evening I assisted my Mum with a wedding anniversary shoot for Megan McMinn and Grant McMinn. It was such an amazing shoot with lights, cake, confetti and lots of happiness. After the shoot on the way home me and Mum broke into a field and and chucked some confetti all over us for fun.

My pets.

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I went back to school last week and have been doing coursework.

Anyway today's blog post is about my wonderful pets.
I have five pets, Maggie the labradoor, Rupert the chorkie, Clive Onion the half chihuaa and half jack rusel, Peter the yorkshire terrier, Rodney Goldman the pug and Arthur the persian cat. I love all my pets too pieces and don't have a favourite but sadly my mum does. My Mum's favourite is Rodney and she loves him like a child, he is her baby. She think hes a special unicorn that's lost is horn. Most peoples favourite is Rodney because he's a pug and loads of people loves pugs! All of my pets have indivisual funny personalities.
Clive has patches all over his body which are grey, black and a tiny bit brown. He has a really long neck and long body. He basically looks like a whippet but he's not supposed to look like that. My family think he's best friends with our labradoor, Maggie and we think if he was human he'd be a mexican.

Maggie is a creamy golden colour with dark eyes and she looks like she's wearing eyeliner all the time. Maggie VERY stupid she is literally like Marley from the film Marley & Me. My mum took her to dog training once and the trainer told my mum to never bring her back because she is so loving and supper excited all the time. We also think if Maggie was human she'd be a Disney princess.

Pete is getting old now, he's about 11 or 12 now. He is very grumpy and all he does all day is sleep. He's really cute and he's actually and deformed yorkshire terrier. He's smaller than a guinea pig! He's kind of like Peter Pan because he's the boy that never grew up. We think if he was a human he'd be a dance instructure at pineapple dance studios in London.

Rupert is ginger and has scruffy black hair on his body. He is about 18 weeks old now and we got him just before the summer holidays. He was given to us by a couple who were sadly dying of cancer. Rupert is so cute and always get excited and happy when he meets new people. He is so friendly! My Dad calls him Rupert but in a french accent because he thinks if he was human he'd be french and worked in a pastry shop.

Rodney is a creamy colour with a dark face. He's so funny all he does is eat, sleep, fat and love my mum. He can actually say hello and yes and he cries when he wants his mum. He has done some modelling for Poppy Teffrey and for my Mum. He has his own followers on my mums instagram and people love him. He hates walking, unless he knows that he's going to a cafe for food. My mum thinks he would be a gold jewellery seller if he was human.

Arthur is a ugly white persian with teeth that stick out at the bottom of his mouth. He is such an awesome cat! My mum rescued him because this horrible man was beating him up in a carrier bag at the side of the road and my mum got out of the car and rescued him so he is now ours. Arthur's nick name is Arthur Parthur Pickles Worth and he loves me the most out of my family. He always follows people everywhere and he's very needy. He looks like the evil white persian cat on the film Cats and Dogs, and we think that he is actually an even cat that is planning to take over the world and building rockets secretly in his litter box.

St Ives.

 Today's blog post is a short review on a harbour close to me called St Ives.

St Ives is a beautiful harbour in Cornwall, it is my favourite harbour where I live. In the holidays it is a big tourist attraction! It is full of holiday makers and you can't get to anywhere you want to go. But when they have all gone the fishing boats bob peacefully in the harbour and you can go relax on the beautiful beaches and have a ice cream. I love to wonder round the little streets and go into Cath Kiddston and look around in the surf shops. There are a lot of bakery's and food restaurants an amazing fish and chips restaurant called Harbour Fish & Chips. The food in there is amazing!
The beaches there are beautiful, especially in the summer, the water is clear and turquoise. Sometimes you can see the seals relaxing on the rocks which is awesome to see because you don't seals often in Cornwall (well I don't). In the evening St Ives is beautiful because the sea is all calm and still and the streets are quite and you can have a nice walk on the beach and watch the seals and skating in St Ives in the evenings is lovely!

Going into town outfit.












Summer is now sadly leaving us, and its getting colder! But I am not ready to wear jumper and fluffy boots yet. I put this outfit together to wear into town to meet my friends.
I love wearing checkered shirts especially this one because it is one of my personal favourites out of my collection of shirts. The shirt is from Fred Perri and it is actually a long shirt that goes down to my thighs. Ive tied the shirt into a double knot just below were the jeggings start to make this outfit different. 
My shoes are from Topshop and they are black leather heel boots. They are very pleasant to wear and they aren't too heavy and you can walk easily in them. They keep your feet dry and warm which is great considering its going into Autumn now. Plus these boots make you feel tall and make your legs look long.
My jeggings are from George in Asda and they are so soft and comfortable to wear. They are strecthy and made out of cotton which makes them have the soft texture.
I sometimes like to add to this outfit a vintage floppy hat from Vintage Warehouse 13 in Falmouth. I think it goes nice with the collaboration of red and black in this outfit and its one of my favourite hats and I try to add it in as many outfits as I possibly can.
