a golden 2011

So, like Aoife said. Christmas is over and for me that means I have to think about what to do/wear/stay on New Year’s Eve. I and lots of my friends are invited to a big New Year’s party with the Theme: Gold. Gooold….to be honest except from a necklace and a few bracelets I don’t own anything in Gold.so I started looking in various Online Shops, problem only that in Germany there are only half of the Shops that you would find in Dublin, no Topshop, River Island, Miss Selfridge…it is a miracle that I survived here for all those years.  So in the end I decided for this dress by Scarlett Johansson for Mango: 

Along with some of my Jewelery and High Heels it looks good, not great, but at least I don’t have to go in a black dress and wrap golden paper around me, like my parents suggested. No Thank you.

In all the Party is 3 days long, starting tomorrow with drinks and hanging out in a bar, than New Years Eve and than a big Hangover Breakfast on the 1^st of January. So now I just have to think about what to wear on the other 2 Days….I have no Idea.

Today I decided to do a Detox Day like me and Aoife did at the end of summer. Do some Face and Hair Mask (Never ever make your own hair mask, Trust me…Aoife and me had some really bad experience…especially with Banana Hair masks) and drink lots and lots of Green Tea. 

Love,

Bene

It's almost Christmas and right now i'm concentrating all my energy on being jolly and keeping warm. It's quite a task. Boarding school kicked us all out into the snow and Benny's flight got cancelled, i'm sure Dublin Airport do a lovely Christmas dinner...i'm joking, i'm praying to Buddah that Benny gets a flight home as soon as possible to have a lovely German Christmas, Lederhosen and all.
It's snowing so hard here, i hope it's snowing wherever you are! But this means i have no access to shops so it looks like you're getting hand-made Christmas cards from me, guys! Haha, but seriously i haven't bought anything for my family yet...Oh well. They buy me an artificial tree, this is what they get.


During the cold weather i've been busying myself with doing precisely fuck all!
Nah, really i have watched a few excellent films,
The Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind, The Virgin Suicides and Requiem For a Dream.
Now i know none of them are exactly Christmassy but hey, i wasn't feeling too festive, ok?


I also saw Ballet Shoes starring Emma Watson...it's quite sweet and uplifting, and anything with Emma automatically grabs my attention, but i have to say the ending leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it's got some beautiful images and of course the beautiful Ms Watson.

Oh, isn't she just the loveliest thing? I admire her so much.

Peace and love

Aoife. 

there is a light that never goes out

Hello my dearests,
Raya the Rebel is back in School! Came back yesterday afternoon, getting dirty looks from all the teachers and curious ones from the students today. Sounds so much cooler when you say she got suspended for drinking tea.
Only 3 days till midterm break, i am so excited!
Going to fly home Friday morning and stay there for a week and be back for Halloween in Dublin. I really want to be a Bunny for Halloween, like the ones in Mean Girls. So everyone is goint to say: "You're a slut?!" and then I'll say:"I am a mouse, DUH!" Lovee, Benny

Hello everyone its raya on bennys laptop. i was supposed to blog yesterday but...well....yeah...sorry im making up for it now just like i promised myself! school's been weird since i came back all the looks off the teachers and everyone coming up to me asking what the suspension was for. i'm THE biggest reb at school at the moment. its the last week of school before midterm so everyones planning like mad for the holidays. i'm off to wales for a while so i'll just drown myself in tea and eat apple crumble, watch breakfast at tiffanys. (i love you audrey) oh and go charity shop shopping because the town where my mum lives is so small and there's no proper shops. im serious here. no proper clothes shops. (thankfully im pretty much always here in dublin) but it does force me to be creative and i find some great old people jumpers and granny bags and hats and blazers and old records and pretty jam jars and just great stuff!

for halloween im in a bit of dillema when it comes to costumes. im stuck between pikatchu and minnie mouse. i have the pickatchu suit already but i dont want to turn up with benny and aoife looking all sexy in their cat and bunny costumes and i'm there in a big yellow suit...

minnie mouse it is!

i think if you looked inside my head it would be like looking under the sea. everything just floats around. heres a bit of an insight as to whats going on in the depths of my mind

why do you just not bother; glitter; polka dots; which type of milk tastes best with yorkshire tea; tire swings; the mountain im going to climb when i get to wales; why i cant have a kettle as a boyfriend; how much i miss my cat Morrisey (after the amazing frontman of the smiths)  and finally how much i love the movie JUNO.

need to watch it. soon.

i hope you all have a great halloween and tryyyyy to be creative with your costumes. EVERYONE goes to primark and buys a load of fluro stuff. 

love always, RAYA

We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain

Hello everyone, it's Raya. As Aoife mentioned in her last post the weekend was a great one! Oktoberfest was absolutely amazing and we managed to get into the main tent nice and early so we missed the long lines and the ID checks. We ''raved it up'' and drank far too much but it was definatly a good'un.

We also stopped by a house party (Aoife put up that minging picture of me!) and that was so great aswell. We ended the night at tesco; where all good nights should end and stocked up on cheap chocolate and jelly snakes.

Incase you're wondering who we are, I'll explain. This blog is run by me and two other lovely ladies.

Aoife (pronounced ee-fah for those of you who are unfamiliar to irish vocab) who has the largest and lovely-ist collection of crazy grandad jumpers

Benny who's on holiday in Crete at the moment but will be back soon. Her heart has been stolen by a pair of vintage cowboy boots

And myself. Raya. (pronounced ray to rhyme with cry and ah. so cry-ah//ray-ah) 

That's it for now my lovelies. Love always.
