A festive lil message from yours truly!!

Happppyyy Christmas my loves! I am soo loving the festive season so I thought I need to wish you my wonderful supporter a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This year is gonna be a pretty hectic one for me, I am all over the place but I am looking forward to giving everyone their presents. I enjoy watching other people open their presents more than getting them, however I would never turn a present down! HAHAH

oooh MAN I watched Jamie Oliver this morning and it made me so hungry, he made a christmas chocolate mousse. Heaven I tell you H-E-A-V-E-N!

Got my gig at the 02 tomorrow! I have been jumping around my kitchen belting out my pop tunage! The neighbours will be complaining any minute. What is all that head banging noise! Hahha only joking my neighbours are class! :s

I am performing to backing track tomorrow night for the first time in about a year! I will miss turning around to Shane on the guitar solo’s in Don’t Stop Looking! But never the less I will groove on my own don’t you worry!

I will let you know it goes, but make sure you eat lots, drink lots (responsibly of courseeee!!) and have a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It’s the most wonderful time of the yeaaaarrrr!!!!

Crazed Hits and Liberty Radio!

Hey I went to Finsbury Park this morning, very bright and early! I did a little interview with Liberty Radio. It was really fun the D.J is called Richard, really nice Guy! I was on for 45 mins chatting about all sorts :) . He played Don’t Stop Looking I was very proud! Apparently they have 45 thousand listerners! It was because I am part of the Talent At Christmas (all to do with the IN4MERZ). They have hosted a talent competition and the winner is being revealed on the 21st Dec at the Ingigo2 at the O2 Arena. And I am performing on the same  night with other artists. Fun Fun Fun!

I can’t wait to see the talent!

Liberty radio sometimes put up sessions onto their archive but if they  don’t put mine up I will get hold of it and feature it on a blog :)

I am also on the front page on an American Website! I am told it’s really big over there and the Music Industry regards what they say very seriously!..

The website is —> www.crazedhits.com

The train today was a nighhhttmare, sooooo hot and no seats :( BOOO

Just in the studio right now laying down a new track :) Lauby is choosing takes so I thought I would write to you Guys :)

My Uncle and Auntie are coming over tonight for a curry, home made by ME! A Jamie Oliver recipe yum yum :)

The City

Brilllllliant news :) Last night on MTV several of my songs from my Album ‘Adrenaline Rush’ played on the hit show THE CITY! I am a huge fan (love it like I love the Hills) so this for me is crazy :)

Dizzy From The Ride was the opening song :) Whitney and her Pal dance to me when they are getting ready, yes Whitney dances to Put Your Hands Up! Control is also featured and All About Life plays the titles and the credits out :)

WOOOH if you wanna see it, it repeats tonight at 9:30pm on MTV :)

I went and saw Scrooge in 3D at the Imax in Waterloo last night it was brilliant!

Shame about the Jamie Afro in X factor and Stacey was amazing!

I am loving the christmas spirit :) I have got a hot water bottle and a cup of tea with me as I type this out, it’s so cosy :)

Hope everyone is getting into the crimbo spiritt if not go and watch Scrooge!!!

Elle Mag!

I know I already tweeted and facebooked about this very special moment,but so it doesn’t get forgotten I though I would do a blog about it!

I was in Elle mag for a ‘Show Me Your Wardrobe’ type feature and I had to pick some of my fave outfits for the winter and get photographed in them. It was all self styled and I did my own hair and makeup, so I was nervous as to how the shots would come out.. But I am pleased with how they turned out :)

WOOOOh!

WOOOOh!

Elle is available to buy every where now, look for the December issue, and I am on page 103…

I am also very pleased that I am on the same page as Florence Welch… Big fan . Love her cover of ‘You Got The Love’

BYE!!! x

The Hills… TAKE TWO BABY!

Hey Guys, my song Freaky Vocal Style was played on the Hills, the third episode yesterday! I wasn’t even watching I had it on sky plus and my brother called me to let me know :) He said it is about 14 minutes into the programme.. I have put Freaky Vocal Style on my myspace player a long time ago, so some of you might know it! Try and listen out for my voice :)

It really is so much fun to listen to my song when it is on the Hills, because I can’t tell you how much I love the show!

There is a repeat of episode 2 and 3 tonight on MTV at 8PM if you missed it…! WOOH

I hope everyone had a jolly scary HALLLOOOWEEENNN! I went to a party and had nothing to wear at all, so I went as a gothic devil??!
Loads of black makeup and really red lipstick and I went very halloween with the hair, it was sticking up, I did back combing and probably went through a whole can of hair spray!

Sad to be back home from Cornwall actually, the life style out there is very relaxing, but I do love the buzz of London!

Have a great week everyone and if I have any more news for you I will let you know!!!

My trip to cornwall…

Hey Guys, haven’t had a a holiday all year so when the opportunity to go to Cornwall came up I jumped on the chance (even though I would prefer to go somewhere hot!!) I have had a brilliant time :) I am staying in my Uncles Cottage (called Rose Cottage)..  I went to St Ives and the city of Truro… It is very cute and the views are amazing….BUT  IT’S FREEZING COLD! I have been sleeping under two duvets, with socks on and a dressing gown and I still shiver. Usually when I am at home I open the windows wide open and make my room freezing but snuggle up in the duvet…But not in Cornwall!

The fish and chips out here are to die for and the Cornish Pasties are crazy good. I have done some jogging, a lot of hill climbing and walking along rocks trying to burn off all the amazing food! Went to the pub last night and everyone had scampi and chips and pies and onion rings but I went with the boring healty option of fish and veg with new potatoes! IT WAS HARD WORK!

I have a few piccies of the lovely views in Portloe. Will Young stayed here at a nice hotel on the beach were my cottage over looks! And the film ‘Camomile Lawn’ was shot right next door in the hills. I haven’t heard of the film but my family tell me it’s true!

The beach which is a few minutes away from the cottage we are staying at! Loving the sand :)

So over all, Cornwall is a lovely place.I love the way the cottages look, very retro! I am enjoying the cold( any chance to wear my leopard print coat, you know me guys!) and the views are amazing….I can even let you in on a little secret. I WORE MY GRANDMA’S TRAINERS TO WALK IN YESTERDAY! Just the kinda thing you can get away with in Portloe I guess. ..

Going home on Friday. The train is 4 hours long so I occupy myself with making video blogs, watching Sex And The City, sleeping and reading my new book….. And when i get back on Friday I am going to see the Michael Jackson film ‘This Is It’… My brother bought tickets but couldn’t make it so I am lucky enough to have them!

WOOOHHH

Who heard my song on the Hills??? Was so excitinnnggggg!!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their Half Term. And for all the private school kids who didn’t get half term I hope you haven’t worked too hard :( I used to go to private school and was so jealous of all the other schools when they had half term, sometimes a weeks break can make such a difference!!

I’M ON THE HILLLLLSSS BABBBYYY!

Hey peeps, My song Put Your Hands Up gets played on the new season of the hills, second episode! Around 12 mins in… So watch out! wowowowoooohhh!
Feeling really ill  and had to get an injection on top of that today, not good seeing as my theory test for driving is tomorrow! Rubbish or what? However the news that my song is on one of my favourite shows perked me up yesterday. Had some Heinz tomatoe soup for lunch it’s gotta be the best food when you are ill…
I am being hidden away in my bedroom so I don’t spread this virus or flu whatever I have! Send me luck to get better .. Hate being ill, haven’t been in ages and it’s pretty crappy I must say…
Lots of love and listen out for my tunage!

George Bamford

I was very lucky to be invited to be part of a new project that the amazing photographer George Bamford is working on! The shoot was today, it was a really chilled out, you do your own hair and make up ect. Just turn up have a chat and take some really relaxed shots that just show you as a person. I don’t wanna say too much about the project but it’s gonna be a book and it’s all to do with up and coming people … He has shot musicians, singers, artists, everything you can imagine and he chose me :) Thank you very very much :)

I decided to wear my ammmmazing leopard print fur coat from Topshop as it never fails. If you don’t know what to wear just wack that on and your done :)

George was a really great guy, his wife was lovely too, and I got a couple of shots of me and him for the website, OF COURSE! Would I let you down?

London Fashion Week

Hey everyone  :) I have been verrrry excited as I have attended a couple of shows a day at LONDON FASHION WEEEEEEEK! It’s been crazyy. Really learnt a lot about stuff and the fashion industry. Some of the clothes and the way people dress is amazing. People are so creative and never seen so many gorgeous people all the time, long legs and amazing hair just everywhere you look!

I have seen Bernard Chandran, Aminika Walmont, Pam Hogg!!!!!!!, Julian James Smith, Fashion Fringe, KTZ and been to the Joe Saunders after party, along with the Dazed and Confused party and an opening at Vanilla for de fabrique! So it’s been a crazy week. I have had my first experience of being papped, looking from left to right and everyone shouting at you like you have done something wrong!! Here is one ….

Outside Fashion Fringe. Donatella Versace hosted the prize giving for the designers.....

Outside Fashion Fringe. Donatella Versace hosted the prize giving for the designers.....

Fashion Fringe was one big show but  5 designers showed their stuff on the runway,one after another. Then at the end  one designer wins. Donatella Versace presented the award and was  in touching distance away from me! And the winner was amazing.Feel silly didn’t write the name of the winner down. feet were aching ect! So sorry!
The day before was Julian Mcdonald and then I was gonna go and see Falguni &Shane Peacock after BUT just before the Julian Mcdonald show I had a little accident!! I spilt a whole cup of water from the kettle onto my hand and had a serious scalding! So embarassing, couldn’t stop myself from crying!! You know when something just happens and the shock and pain just hit you and you can’t stop a few tears? That is what happened to me. Don’t worry I didn’t let anyone see me crying wouldn’t wanna cramp my style!! I ran it under freezing water for 10 mins and couldn’t feel a thing, luckily their was a first aid who gave me this peice of gooooey slimy medical cloth and bandaged me off and sent me home to hospital :( ! I KNOW! I MISSED THE SHOW! Luckily my hand has only got one scar and I am so thank ful for the first aid because without that the doctor told me the whole thing would have been scared! Thanks for your help :)
So at fashion fringe I was sporting a Michael Jackson style white glove/bandage. You can kinda see in the photo above( it’s in my pocket creeping out). Hopefully it just looks like a glove???
Here are a few photoooossss….

Had my first driving lesson yesterday and I have my next driving lesson on Friday. It was crazy I was just driving around, went on a rounabout (only to turn left) traffic lights! I genuinly think some people want to killll me. Learner drivers are so hated around the world. Can’t people just have a bit of compassion?? Yes your in a rush and you think I am a rubbish driver, but right now I am BECAUSE I AM LEARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please can you try and remember how you felt in the car and then realise that your the scary person behind making me drive even slower cos your angry gestures are putting me off :(
Do have photo but it’s on my phone and the bluetooth connection isn’t working anymore…
Gonna cycle down to the gym all these models got me going! Fun week :)

London Headliner’s Gig cancelled…

Hello you lot! Just wanted to let you know that the Gig I was doing with the London Paper supporting  Daniel Merriweather is not happening anymore. This is due to the fact that the London Paper are stopping their business and will be no more. I’m really sad cos I used to love the Monday issue with Malcom Mckenzie he always did really good interviews and I always read his reviews! Never mind hopefully I will see him doing other stuff!

Sorry to anyone who won tickets or who was gonna come, hopefully if I have anything big gig coming up like that, those of you who did have tickets can come to one of those!!
