Hello everyone I thought I would show you  my first cover! A while ago I was told to check out this really cute/cool online magazine called Cellardoor… I absolutely loved it and was thrilled when I was asked to do an interview with them. But amazingly they decided to put me on the cover as well. Thank you so much Cellardoor Mag!

Check out the cover and interview right HERE

I have forgotten what pages the interview is on, but I know you won’t mind flicking through the mag, it’s brilliant. I love all the little doodles all around the pages too

I have been very busy in the studio working with lotsa lotsa peeeeps, scary but fun at the same time! I recored a song with Darren and Tunde from Future Cut Productions. It was called ‘I can’t hate you’ and I LOOOVEEE IT SOOO MUCHHH! It is such a tune and got me all excited and inspired.
I also met up with Jules Gallager and did a writing session with him,he had 9 dogs that surrounded me and barked like crazy as I arrived. I can imagine a lot of people finding this hilarious but it was SCARY! I love dogs, but not 9 of them at once, petrified!

I started writing a genius song with Jamie Norton and Ben Mark. Lovely guys! I am going back with them soon to finish what we started but I am really excited about that. Coming up in the week I am writing with good olddd Lauuby, the one and onlyyyyy! And also meeting Grant Black to have a little go at writing a song together for the first time this week too. So I am a busy girl, which I like a lot!

I also want to take this opportunity to tell you that I am officially the soppiest person on the earth. I realised last night as I cried at the most pathetic things on tele that I am a ‘blubber’. To confirm this, I was watching Loose Woman today (while doing the ironing, soOOO not Rock and Roll!) when the topic of crying came up. They were asking do people cry more with age? I must be frigging 50 inside then because I cry as much if not more than most of those Loose Women! HELP ME! I cry at everything! I even had to hold back the tears the other day at the cinema. This kid had lied about his age (saying he was 15) and got caught out and all his friends didn’t. He got left behind and had to get his money back. The STUPID man behind the counter had a go at him and his little face made me wanna cry. He was trying to look like he wasn’t upset but you knew he was gutted. OOOH I am getting all upset thinking about it, seriously, couldn’t they have just made an exception? Be a bit more laid back, it was a weekend and this poor boy got left behinnnndd, booohoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a good week, I am off to Gourmet Burger Kitchen tonight with some friends and I have never been before.

Loadsa blubbery and soppy love. From ME x x x

In the studio with Lauby at the moment!

HAH *produuuuuushooon* (private joke to Ryan who can't speak at the moment haha)

recording a song which i LOVE LOVE LOVE. We wrote it recently, it’s called poison and I just want evvvvverrryone to hear it. Still very ‘Alex Roots’ style but me older and more grown up with a bit more of a current sound!

Had my new hair done today, it’s very different but I love it… This was my inspiration ….

Sienna I lovee you!

And this is the end result………

It’s a blog called Taylor Made and I was photographed as I arrived at Summerset House before watching some Fashion Shows. Don’t remember which particular show it was as all the locations have merged into one!! Can’t remember any more! It looks pretty glamorous, but a lot of people were staring, I had to pull my fiercest pose in front of everyone! The presssssure, I don’t like the first piccy of me (way to harsh on myself) my face looks VILE. Second one decent.

I had a brilliant time Skiing thank you for all the kind people who remembered and have asked me! Here is a piccy of me rocking my ray bans even in minus zero weather! You gotta do it ayyyy…

Eating some french fries and hot dog! So good, bring me some of daaaaat chocolat chaud

You can't actually see in this photo, but the skiis I hired matched my jacket perfectly! Colour coordinated

As much as I loved it, it wasn’t long enough 4 days went so quickly I was so depressed to leave!

Now I have my mind set for the 5th-15th September! I shall be 18 and my best bud and I will be heading into Cabopino in Marbella, I am sooo excited to finally get some sun!!!!

RAHAHAHAHAHHHHH

Loads of love

So I have got a jam packed blog for you with photos and drama!
From the 19th-23rd it has been London Fashion Week. I have been lucky enough to see many shows and among those my favourites were Falguni and Shane Peacock, Felder and Felder I also saw Pam Hogg (sat behind Peaches Geldof and Jamie Winston) Elliot Frieze, Hannah Marshall and more!

Pam Hogg, The blonde girls pony tail is miss Peaches G.

Before it all kicked off on the 18th, I was lucky enough to be able to take part in a shoot for Haiti. Famous Designers all submitted their ‘Thoughts For The Day’. Designers included PPQ, Judy Blame and Jasper Conran. The thoughts were put onto plain black and white T shirts and then special guests chose a t shirt without knowing who designed what and got photographed as if they were on a runway. In the end I was lucky and only had to be photographed standing up! I was very worried about recreating a runway walk

Me in my choice for the Thoughts For The Day T shirt

Fashion week kicked off and I was on my way home from a show and was a bit late to see my friend. I decided to jog a little bit to speed up my travel and had a really bad fall! I went flying I was on my own in Great Portland Street. Loads of people crowded round me when I fell because I went flying. All my tights ripped completely and I cut my leg open so badly it was bleeding. I wanted to cry sooo badly but just hopped right up and tried to hold in the tears all night! My friend Mitch picked me up in a bit of shock and then next day it was so painful I had to go to A&E. I couldn’t believe how swollen it was, it looked like someone had put a tennis ball in between my patella and my skin! I am going skiing tomorrow so you can imagine how gutted I was about my fall because skiing is all about bending the knees I had to miss a whole Saturday of fashion shows, including PPQ which I was sooo excited about! But looking back on it the day to rest did me the world of good as I am on the mend and icing it as we speak!

Fashion week is cursed for me! Last season I was in A&E with a scalded hand, this season a smashed up knee
A&E have got a place waiting for me already for next season, I am scared!

My favourite show of the week was Falguni and Shane Peacock. Before the show I got to go backstage and have my hair and makeup done! My makeup was the same as the models but a toned down version and my hair was all put up in an ‘up do’…

My FAVEEEEEEEEE DRESSS!!!!!!!! Falguni and Shane Peacock

I was lucky enough to go back to the designers hotel room today. We all got on really well and there was one dress in particular that caught my eye in the show so I was so excited to try it on!! This is me in my fave blue dress…

Woop Woop, I wanna wear this to perform, and I think my wishes will come true!

So that brings me to a close, a drama filled fashion week yet again! Off skiing tomorrow for 4 days I hope my knee holds up……Have a great week guys!

BYE xxx

OUCH. Just on my way to the doctors, what was just an oven burn has turned into this monstrosity!

This better not scar, I am going to a wedding on Saturday and I don’t see the mags saying scars are in this season. WHY??????

x

Last night I made cakes and cookies for my little brothers charity cake sale (money towards Haiti) and I was so proud of them that I took a picture to show you!

I hope he sells them for more than 5p a cake this time! That took a lot of effort to make
YUM YUM

Hello all

I have been very busy looking after my gorgeous little Nephew Taylor I am looking after him every day this week. Today Me and my brother are taking him to get weighed. All the doctors and nurses always comment on what a happy baby he is, he smiles all day long. Changed some pooey nappies yesterday which wiped the smile right off my face!!!!!

As you can see, smiling before the poo, HE IS SO AMAZING.

The other day before I went out I was just waiting for my lift to come and pick me up so I decided to flick on a bit of Big Brother’s Little Brother! And who did I see? NOT ONLY MY P.R BRAD! He was on the show because he also does p.r for Stevie Baldwin! WOOP WOOP. Stevie was a nutter I have to say. I took some photos and Videos of Brad and emailed them to the team. He  was really embarrassed so he will love me putting a photo of him on my blog!!!

OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna go into the shops today, look after Taylor then off to dance classsss later on, maybe might do an aerobics class before it if I can be bothered. OH AND I HAVE IRONING TO DO! really feels like a monday today

looovaagggeee

Thanks to the 67000  people that were watching at some point my crazy attempt at broadcasting myself on Justin TV last night! I had a really fun time actually. I managed to stick 11 grapes in my mouth, swore accidentally (Mother very embarrassed) and performed a new Song that I have never performed before. All in all it was a good day! I think that it will be available to watch soon on Justin Tv’s website and if it is I will do a little blog and tell you where to look

Going to Lauby’s studio today to get down and funky and do some writing to a dance track. It’s quite trancy. I want to write some lyrics that aren’t just about partying. Most of the time when time someone writes over a dance track it’s always about a club or a party. I wanna explore that a bit.

I am starting 4 dancing lessons a week next week! I used to dance all the time and then gave it up when I was focusing on singing.But I kind of miss it to be honest! Here comes the fitness! Aerobics and four dance classes plus an extra gym session. I hope I feel like the terminator by the end of this.

Anyone know of any good acting classes to go to in Bromley or in London? Let me know!

I recorded 4 acoustic videos yesterday with Shane, just editing them now and trying to upload them to Zshare. So far one 2 min video has taken over an hour and I am only 60% done! AHHH!

Have a good weekend everyone, I am off to Camden tomorrow night, any one else there? Say hi!

PEACE AND LUUUUURVVVEEE X

This is my 100th blog!!!!

What with being tucked up at home and all, I have been checking out all my fave sites on the internet and one of the things that keeps popping up is the new film The Runaways I went to the cinema and saw NINE the other day and The Runaways trailer came on and it looksss wicki wah wah. Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart are rocking it man! I wanna be in that movie so bad. Acting and films is a dream for me and this movie looks so cool! The movie is all about the 70′s and how Women were seen to not be able to do it as good as the men in the music industry , BUT HOW WE PROVED THEM WRRRONNNGG.
Here is the trailer….

P.s Did have loads of photos for you but have been struggling for days to get them up Even asked  computer peeps etc. NOT WORKING. Just tried doing it from a p.c instead of my mac and it won’t work with any photo so I am bummed. Am gonna try and get it sorted asap. xxx

Happy New Year everyone! Sorry I haven’t been on here sooner don’t know whether anyone saw on Face Book I got bloooooming tonsillitis! It gave me the proper flu but today I feel great again How is my luck! But I am over it now and raring to go I wanna make 2010 a good year for me!!!

After Christmas and New Year there is always a really sad feeling that it’s all over I had a brilliant christmas day first at my Mum’s then to my Dads’s then to my Brothers where all my other brother’s wife’s and girlfriends were! Also I saw my gorgeous little Nephew! It was hecccctic! But Hectic is a good way to describe my family and very loud too… Then New Years eve I went to a chhheeesssyyy 80′s club called REFLEX! I was scared! 80′S music alllll night long, but in the end it got really good everyone had a right laugh. The best songs were Wham, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper and my fave Queen. Everything else I have got to say was a bit crrringe.. ESPECIALLY —> ‘COME ON EILEENN OHHH COME ON EILLEEEN’ (I think those are the lyrics whatever they are it’s annoying!)

Oh yeah! And when I was on the dance floor busting some moves they have this camera that films people all around the club, then it automatically streams onto huge t.v’s and flat screens all around. THEY ZOOMED IN ON MY BUM! hahah sooo HUMILIATING! I was squirming around trying to cover it with my bag and all sorts and it kept following me. Maybe it’s cos I had the best bum in the clubbbbb NOT! hahahaaa The man doing it was GROSS.

Gonna hit aerobics tonight! With my budddie Poppy, we are raring to go after the christmas period!

Happy New Year you beautttiess!
