Fashion Friday - flannels

Hey guys, 

 It's been ages since I last posted a "fashion Friday" entry, and seeing as how the exam season is almost over (finishing on Monday, woo!) I figured this would be a perfect type of post to do to get back into regular posting. 

 And today's fashion Friday's topic is flannel print shirts, possibly my favourite wardrobe piece for casual outfits, because it looks great regardless of the outfit. Seriously, I've yet to find something it didn't look good with, jeans, skirts and shorts all look so cute paired with the shirt. My favourite way to wear mine infact, especially my blue shirt, is with my black skater skirt, white crop top and black leggings. 

Or for more formal events, I can tuck it in buttoned up as so:

My point is, they're so diverse, the look good with pretty much anything, and if you haven't already got one, I'd definitely advise buying one!

Can straight, opposite genders be just friends?

Hey guys, 

Apologies for the lack of posts recently, it's been crazy busy, but I'm back! 

  So on Friday myself and a friend went to see The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and it was far better then any other Spider-Man film I've seen, period (I'll be writing a review of it soon so look out for it). But since going to see the film, it's raised the age old question: can boys and girls (who are 'straight') be just friends? Again. 

  Yes, the person I was at the cinema with on Friday was male. Yes, he is in a relationship with a girl I know, and have come to know quite well lately. No that doesn't make us hanging out together sinister! 

  Honestly, this whole argument really, really bugs me. Seriously? Because we're both heterosexual and spend time together of course, we obviously have something going on. Obviously. 

   I mean, why is it I can spend time with a female friend in public and it be ok? How would you know I'm not secretly in love with her? Come on guys, this is supposed to be an 'accepting' generation and yet we cause speculation over a movie with the opposite sex. 

  So what do you think? Can close friends be opposite genders?
