HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

It feels weird being at home on Halloween!!

For the past two years I've gone to Rowanna's!!

I'll have to come up with a new tradition now (not that I did anything before that!!)

God I'm tired!!

Such a long day I need a lie in!!

Anyway...

This was me earlier after getting my hair done and visiting the personal shopper.

I had an early start today as my hair appointment was at 10am (don't ask why I decided to get it done so early); but as I'm always running late it ended up being 10:10am by the time I got there. You probably can't tell in the photos that I did get my hair done. I went to my local Rush as I still had the offer/voucher/card thing from months ago, so I got half price colour and free haircut (not bad). My hair is actually a lighter colour then this in real life but it needs time to calm down etc, hopefully my extensions will eventually match my hair (fingers crossed). There's more layers towards the ends and my fringe shapes my face better; so I'm gonna let it grow more and then perhaps do something radical next year. I'm actually not fussed when it comes to my hair anymore. I used to hate doing anything radical in case I hated it; but my hair grows so quickly that it doesn't bother me. I’m literally the worst girl!! I met up with Charlie and Mum where we proceeded to the pimped up Nandos, it was nice but what is with the lack of chips?? Not fair! I'm demanding more chips!! Priorities!! We then proceeded to walk around town for a while as we had time to kill; we even popped in to Primark where me and Charlie got our Christmas jumpers!! I'm starting to get in the Christmassy mood. Eventually 3pm came around and it was time for the personal shopper in Debenhams (yes I went back to work again). I love going to the personal shopper not just because you have a laugh, relax and enjoy yourself; but because I get to help pick out the clothes which I love. I think Charlie tried on a billion dresses (ok I'm exaggerating but it felt like it); eventually though she did find a 1950's style floral prom dress from Red Herring. I eventually parted ways with Mum, Charlie and Dad (he just pops up); as they were off to see Skyfall and I've seen enough James Bond to last me a frigging lifetime (unless they bring back Pierce Brosnan).

To the outfit...

I'm in costume today as I decided to dress up as Lilly. Charlie was meant to dress up as me but Mum refused to let her as she was against Charlie wearing a short dress, camouflage jacket, beanie and dark lippie - basically what I wear everyday. I'm slightly worried my Mum disapproves of my wardrobe (I know my Dad does). Anyway (I get distracted so easily) I was running late and I decided to stand there and stare at my wardrobe, I seem to have a habit of doing this everyday at the moment. I knew I wanted to dress up in black (of course for my costume); and I was initially going to wear a t-shirt and cardigan but decided on the jumper instead. I did freeze to death (clearly not literally but still); but I did feel quite stylish today even if I was in practically my work uniform. I am wearing something brand spanking new and that is this ASOS Solid Cross Necklace. You can't see it that well but it is the nicest silver necklace I have seen in a long time, I usually find silver necklaces full of sparkle and I think most of the time they look tacky. I never thought to look at ASOS and it wasn't till I was trawling trough ASOS for skirts, that I decided to look at the jewellery. I was having a look through and I saw this and knew I had to have it. Plus its £6 which I think is such a good price for a necklace I will probably wear till it rusts. I definitely recommend ASOS for jewellery.

Well this has taken me two hours to write (no joke it actually has); I seriously need to stop getting so damn distracted!!

Maybe one day I'll curb my ways...yeah right!!

Good Evening All!!

Monday has come again!!

HALF TERM IS HERE YAYAYAYAY!!!!!

It's so nice to have a long lie in and not have to worry about waking up early. Unfortunately I still have a ton of work to do that I’ve kept putting off; but I'm sure I will eventually do it I just don't have the drive at the moment.

Tomorrow is Charlie's birthday!!

Which means it's time to see Julian Ovenden!!!

O M G I literally can't wait!! 

I LOVE him...it's actually scary!!

Anyway...

Time to be normal!!

Just a quick post today!!

This was me earlier after I popped in to town with Charlie.

Now like I said it’s Charlie's birthday tomorrow (the big 2 3) and I needed to get her a present. We agreed that I would get her something from Debenhams (as naturally I get discount - woo); so we decided to pop in today and try on a few things. I did act like a stylist by picking out the things that I knew Charlie would like, (in fact work was so boring yesterday I was putting outfits together in my head). I did set Charlie a budget as I'm a cheap skate!! I'm not ashamed!! She did like everything I picked out for her (thankfully); and in the end Charlie decided to get a jewelled print A-line dress from Red Herring (I'll get a picture of her in it). While in town I picked up a pair of Chelsea Ankle Boots from Shoe Zone, sadly not a pair to replace my beloved ones but they are more for when I'm wearing trousers. Other then that I just picked up rolls and pasta, I did pick up doughnuts (as usual) but I'm feeling really sick after them so I’m definitely going to lay off them. Not a very exciting day. Oh I did go in to the Disney Store and I wanted a Dalmatian (a giant one); but Charlie wouldn't let me - meanie!!

To the outfit...

It's not easy being green...ha ha I joke!

I am an overload of green today but I kinda like it. I honestly had no idea what to wear today (when do I); so pretty much I sat on my bed looked in front of me and saw this t-shirt hanging there. Talking about this t-shirt how amazing is it?? I've wanted this for ages but it kept selling out so I had to keep putting it off. Last Wednesday while in Topshop, I saw it there and I must admit I was a bit unsure about whether to buy it or not. There was a rail full on navy ones and only one green which happened to be my size, so I knew it was fate and it had to be mine. I also don't own that much green (believe it or not); therefore I knew I had to get it to add colour to my wardrobe. It was £18 (well I did get student discount so it was less then that); but the t-shirt is such good quality and is nice and long just how I like it. I actually wanted to get the horror one to wear on Halloween but I'm going to be good.

I think it's taken me 2 hours to write this...I get distracted so damn easily!!

I'm currently watching a programme about the Bond cars which I'm enjoying immensely. I don't understand why most girls don't like cars I'm a complete petrol head and I love it!! 

I would happily be a stunt driver!!

I just need to pass my test...

It's Turned Me Into A Monster, Like I'm Jekyll & Hyde...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Ok so I'm 3 days early but as it is time for another Sunday playlist, I thought doing a Halloween one would be appropriate. Now some of these songs you may have seen before on here (I seem to listen to songs at the wrong time of year); but that doesn't make them any less awesome. 

I'm actually not going out on Halloween so these songs will be on repeat!!

So sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

AFTERNOON!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe its Friday again!!

Where do the weeks go??

I had such a bad Friday last week but today has been quite good so far.

Well apart from the wind, rain and freezing to (almost) death.

Anyway...

This was me earlier today after popping to West Wickham with Mum.

Like I said yesterday Lilly was getting her hair done which meant charity shop shopping with Mum. Even after having a moan about a complete s***head of a cab driver, I suddenly got excited when I saw the giant rabbits! I fell in love with one of them when he (I think); went on his hind legs to me and I gave him a stroke. I didn't come back with a rabbit (unfortunately) but I did come back with something better. So the day started off with a Starbucks that I treated my Mum to and then it was time to brave the rain again. After a few charity shops I honestly thought it would have been a waste of a trip; but soon my luck was to change. I picked up a vintage zodiac silk scarf from Mind which was only £1.75, a complete and utter bargain and Mind is always a good place for silk scarves. And then the best find of the day and probably the month if not the year. In Breast Cancer Research I found a vintage hand made cape from the 1960's for £35!! Now I know that £35 is a lot for a charity shop; but considering it was hand made in the 1960's I think that's pretty damn good. I know that if I went to Camden I would have paid twice that, so watch this space as it could pop up at any moment.

To the outfit...

I feel very rock and roll today with the metallic, camouflage, skulls and a Metallica top. I have been feeling very edgy in my fashion cravings lately. Plus it seems everything is short at the moment (well apart from the maxi skirt); this skirt isn't as short as my dress yesterday (thank god) but that doesn't make it wind friendly. I went for a similar colour palette today as of course the skirt is a difficult colour to dress. I chucked on my new Metallica Topshop vest, it's from one of the concessions And Finally. I have been eyeing up this vest for a few months but I kept putting off while I bought other frivolous things; but when I saw Beautycrush had bought this in the sale I knew I had to have it. The only one I could find was a size 12 but it looked really baggy so I decided to try it on. When I tried it on the fashion gods were on my side as it fit perfectly. It has the right balance of bagginess and length to compliment me well. The fact that it was a tenner sweetened the deal completely.

I forgot to mention that I did another OOTD video today with the help of my Mum - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ-ihNi90aM&feature=youtu.be. It's still a bit dodgy but I'm working on what I can do to make it better etc. I definitely think I need to get some software to help me; unfortunately I'm a techno phobe so that doesn't help.

I'm currently relaxing on the sofa slowly freezing to death while watching The Hills.

Why does autumn/winter have to be so cold??

Well I guess that's the point…

Evening All!!!

I am so tired but then when am I not!!

 I'm now on half term!! WOO!!!

Unfortunately I have a load of homework to do over the week, so I'm not going to have any fun. Saying that I do get distracted really easily...oops!!

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me after college and Tate.

I was slightly naughty today and slept in late so I missed IT; but I found out that we got set homework - not fair!! I really do have too much homework to do this week and I have three or four days to do it. Anyway like I said earlier this was me after college and Tate. I did go in to college for my key skills lesson which was pretty basic and only an hour long; but the day did pick up as I did go to the cinema to see Hotel Transylvania. I absolutely loved it!! Everyone has to go see it!! It is the right amount of sad and happy and is really funny; I thought it would be funny and I was right. When it comes out on DVD I'm so getting it!! I also did pop to Tate today. Back in the day I used to help out on their annual event Loud Tate; but never actually went to the meetings as I was too lazy. I stopped going when Charlie went to Uni as I don't think I could do it alone, for instance today they were talking about some sound recording thing that completely confused me. I'm not an artsy person and when I do like art I prefer the greats, modern art doesn't really appeal to me as it's too abstract and you can't really call it art. I know Picasso was abstract but he's allowed to be. Anyway Tate Britain has an event on Saturday 24th November called Label (I think); there's going to be a lot of activities, music and of course art plus I got roped in to help out on the day. It's going to be such a busy week as I'm on work experience plus Charlie's graduation, Tate and work. I'm going to be doing social media for instance tweeting etc, which to be honest I do anyway so should be a breeze. This bit is a lot longer than I planned on it being.

To the outfit...

Yes I do realise how short my dress is but I love it regardless. I did feel rather good today considering how short my dress was and of course the evil wind. I literally spent most of the day holding down my dress making sure it doesn't fly up. I actually got this dress either a year or two ago from Beyond Retro (the one near Carnaby Street). I popped up to London for a shopping trip with the intention of going to Beyond Retro. I picked out this dress and a really cool green check jumpsuit; but unfortunately the jumpsuit was really baggy as I haven't got enough junk in my trunk. I ended up getting this dress because I fell in love with the swinging 60's feel of it, not to mention the monochrome pattern which is perfect for me. I actually can't remember how much it was, but I definitely think it was £20 something. I love it but it does take me ten minutes to zip it up, there's always a flaw!!

Well I think it's about time I finished this post and actually get some sleep - crazy I know!!

I'm popping out tomorrow with my Mum as Lilly is getting her haircut, I can't guarantee that I won't come back with a bunny rabbit.

Typical me...

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!

How are we all??

Good??

That's what I like to hear!!

Considering I've had an uneventful day I'm slightly excited.

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me an hour or two a go.

Now today I didn't go in to college (overslept etc); but I still wanted to run some errands and pick up a new coat. Unfortunately for me our front door has decided to play up and won't close (the one behind me in most of my photos). It also doesn't help that I have a lot of dodgy people who live on my street and they all decided to stand outside, while I was trying to close the door (well slam it shut). On the plus side after watching Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (love that movie); I decided to not only photograph my outfit but to do my first ever OOTD video!! It's exciting!! I've wanted to do videos for absolute ages, but I kept putting it off and then the opportunity arose today to do one. It is a bit dodgy because it's my first and I'm not amazing at it, but please check it out and let me know what you think.

Here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_urXY9nMeYs&feature=plcp

To the outfit...

Deciding to run errands today was just something I decided to do when I woke up, so I had absolutely no idea what to wear. I did plan my outfits for the week but none of them were giving me much inspiration. Because I wasn't going to be out for long I grabbed my NewLook maxi skirt, which I have to say I'm absolutely in love with!! I then saw this H&M top sitting on top of my pile of clothes, (yes the pile keeps growing) and I decided to pair it with the skirt. I did hesitate as you know I'm a safe dresser but I wanted to experiment a little. SHOCK!! I've had this top for years I remember it was in the sale for £7 or something, it is a size 14 but because of the bagginess it fits me well and it's nice and long. Shall we move on to the fluffiness?? I think we shall!! How amazing is this gilet?? When I originally saw it while out birthday dress shopping I resisted temptation; but when I was in Kingston with Rowanna I gave in to temptation. Now £29.99 is quite a lot of money but it's just so pweedy and fluffy!! In fact I wore this on Sunday down to my Nan.M's and Pepper their dog attacked it thinking it was real!! I was not happy!! This gilet is going to be perfect throughout the winter months and the coldness in the beginning of spring.

I'm really happy today which is odd as I have been an emotional wreck for weeks!!

I hope to continue to do more videos along with more posts on here.

Maybe I should do a how to juggle college work, work and blog/YouTube??

Yeah like that's going to happen...

At A Day In Your Celebration...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Yes today is the day of my birth and I am now 20 years old!!! How freaking scary is that??

I can honestly say today isn't the best birthday I've ever had (long story); but at least I'm no longer a teenager. Thank god!! I got everything I wanted and more so thank you to my family!!

Right now on to the playlist...

This week's is going to have a slight birthday theme/songs that make me happy, as I do need some cheering up. I suggest you sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

Con Una Nuvola Ai Tuoi Piedi, Sei In Amore...

Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.

Well Domenico and Stefano you've done it again!!

These dresses are not only visually stunning but beautifully made. I thought Dolce & Gabbana had outdone themselves with their A/W 2012 collection; but clearly they keep coming back with more and more. I say this every time but I am a HUGE fan of D&G, I absolutely adore every collection and crave every piece. I think with every season the urge to win the lottery becomes more and more apparent. If I could walk in to the D&G store and buy everything from this collection I would be a very happy girl.

I'm in love with the patterns in this collection. From the medieval Italian knights to the gypsy/Caribbean inspired wheel prints; not to mention the crochet, sheer and the cage dresses (which for the record are AMAZING). If this doesn't scream summer on the Italian coast I don't know what does. I can imagine sitting by the Italian lakes wearing one of these simple (yet so pweedy) stripy dresses. These are the perfect classic Italian glamour for a glamorous season.

Now usually I pick some of my favourite looks and talk about them, but in this collection I actually can't narrow my choices down. My favourite print is the medieval knights; but overall I have to go for the stripy dresses/tops and skirts. If I could picture the perfect everyday dress or top and skirt combination - these would be them. Whether it's green, blue or red these dresses will simply go with everything and that's just it they're simple! If ever you need a simple yet classic piece to last through all the seasons Dolce & Gabbana have you covered. The stripe print will never age. I've been wearing stripes non stop for 3 years now, no matter what colours you buy you'll wear them again and again. I love the cut of these dresses whether it's empire lines, high waisted or loose fitting they're perfect for any occasion whether formal or not. I can definitely see myself wearing one of the dresses for shopping with my Mum, and then teaming the high waisted skirt with a blouse and layered up jewellery for drinks in the evening.

I do want to mention the caged dresses. I think they are without a doubt the most beautiful craftsmanship I have seen for a long time. The corseted fit and also with the 1950's inspired design that has the sheer overlay just gives it that edge. Who would have thought that sheer and wicker-esque style would be the perfect summer ensemble - I certainly didn't but now I'm hooked.

I can't wait to see how these pieces are either teamed with different designers or simply all D&G.

I'm just hoping when the birthday fairy visits me tomorrow it brings me this whole collection - if only!!

 (Btw I apologise for the pictures being out of order).

Omg I have been in such a weird mood this week!!

If I'm not ill then I've been crying...

I think I need a holiday or Johnny Depp to come rescue me - either one!

Anyway...

Just a quick post today!!

This was me yesterday after college.

So to start off with I should probably tell you that I have a virus (a cold one); so I've been sneezing, coughing and feeling sick all week and it doesn't help that it's my birthday drinks tomorrow; plus my birthday on Sunday - how unfair is the world! I'm still feeling like rubbish for a multiple of reasons which isn't nice, as much as I want to go for drinks I was contemplating cancelling it but I kinda don't want to - so I haven't (if that all makes sense). I've barely been in college this week literally I've been in two days. Tuesday I went in for 45 minutes and yesterday was for 2 hours (cause that's how long my lesson was). It didn't help that I had homework for both days and I completely forgot to do it...worst student ever over here!! The media one was worse because I ended up finding the sheet at the back of my notebook in the lesson! I hate when I'm ill I forget everything. I would like to say I'm on the mend but as my virus is getting better, I'm slowly falling apart. Fun times!

To the outfit...

I'm a plethora of pleather!!

HA HA see what I did there...

I promise I'll stop...

I’m really happy with this outfit especially as this skirt is so blooming hard to style. I wrote down a list of all the things I reckon would go with it, as I decided to keep it and welcome it in to my wardrobe. Unfortunately now I look back at the list my eyes glaze over as I have nothing to pair it with. I would say I need to go out and buy some clothes; but the only thing I need in my wardrobe is a black chunky knit jumper. What a coinky dink that it just happens to be my birthday in 3 days! YES I SAID 3 DAYS!! YAYAYAYAY!!! Back to the subject (I get distracted so easily); I wanted to keep this outfit very simple and let the pewter colour of the skirt stand out. I dipped in to my work wardrobe and picked this sheer shirt, which actually has pewter tones on the buttons and kept everything else simple with tights and flats. I needed comfort as you know I stumble in heels. I did go pleather overload but I think it goes well together because of the different colours. (I probably should say my bag is actually real leather - I didn't want to hurt its feelings. God I'm weird).

I'm relaxing at home today watching re-runs of The Hills!! I miss it so much!! It used to be my Sunday treat; in fact I still don't know why I don't have them on DVD??

I have my birthday drinks tomorrow!! I just hope I'm well enough to go.

Fingers crossed...

It is literally one week until my birthday!!

How has this happened??

Can I be a teenager for a little while longer??

I might have to start lying about my age...I could try!!

Anyway...

HAPPY SUNDAY!!!

Ok so today isn't that happy as I'm full of cold ): I keep coughing, nose running, sore throat, you name it I've got it!! I even got sent home from work because I was just aching all over!!

This week's playlist is a mix of new songs and just general songs to cheer me up.

HELLO!!!

I've been really naughty this week by not updating.

It's been an odd week!!

I had Wednesday off college as my teacher was off sick and yesterday I was so ill, that I spent the whole afternoon/evening under the duvet.

Oh I nearly forgot!!! 

I got my second lobes done!!

I'm officially the pierced lady (if there is such a thing); so now I do feel a bit hardcore having more than one piercing (or was it two).

Anyway...

Just a really quick post today!!

This was me yesterday after college and getting my lobes done.

I would just like to apologise for my hair as yesterday morning it looked perfect; but unfortunately I had to put it up to keep my hair away from my piercings. 

I finally got my second lobes done!!

It's been a long time in the making and I've either been unable to afford them or I was simply too chicken to do it. My mum eventually agreed to pay for them so I had Leah come with me and hold my hand. I'm not gonna lie I did feel really nervous as I hate the idea of having a needle go through my skin, but I've wanted to get them done for ages so I sucked it up. I do feel sorry for the piercer because I did not stop talking/kinda screaming, I was babbling the whole time because I was nervous and I wanted to distract myself. I'm so glad Leah came with me and she literally did sit there and hold my hand the whole time, its times like that when you realise how good your friends are. It did hurt I'm not gonna lie so I was originally considering getting my cartilage re-done, but that isn’t going to happen unless I'm either knocked out or completely drunk! My left one is throbbing more then my right one; but I did kinda accidentally sleep on it last night so no wonder it hates me. I guess next it'll be a tattoo. Take it in turns!!

To the outfit...

There's nothing spectacular about this outfit as I didn't really know what to wear. I did plan my outfits for the week like a good girl; but unfortunately having a day off threw me off. Wednesday night I stared at my wardrobe to see if anything stood out for me, I knew I wanted to wear my Dr Martens again as it was going to rain. I thought it was about time I dug out my Guns N Roses top as I forgot how cool it is, it's the perfect length with the right amount of bagginess and not to mention it has Guns N Roses on it. I'm in love with my camouflage jacket from Berty & Gerty Vintage, I'm so happy I ordered it as I can't imagine life without it now. I think I need to pick up some chunky knit jumpers to go underneath - yes more spending!! Oh I forgot to mention that I picked up a t-shirt from the River Island sale in the men's section. The only reason I bought it is because it says 'In the summer of 69', anyone who's a fan of Bryan Adams will know how cool that is.

I'm currently at home resting and trying to feel better before tomorrow, as I have another open day after a 4 month break. I'm also going to mention its 9 days till my birthday!! YAYAYAY!!!

I'm starting to feel old...

HELLO AGAIN!!

Yes I'm back yet again - can't get rid of me!

I am so tired from college today I had such a rough day, basically long story short I cried my eyes out. 

Yep that's pretty much it!

Anyway...

This was me after college and looking at cars with Charlie.

Now like I said above I've had a really rubbish day at college. Basically I've had a really rough past week where all I've been doing is balling my eyes out. I'm just so confused about everything with what I'm doing etc, so therefore a lot of emotions about 'am I good enough to do this' keep coming up. Today one of my teachers kept picking on me and singling me out. I can say for the record I'm not a problem student, I do the work and what I'm told no questions asked. For some reason this teacher doesn't even know my name and yet feels the need to be mean to me. I'm not imagining it either so I'm going to have a chat with my tutor tomorrow. It even got to the point where half way through the lesson (well 20 mins in); I had to go in to the toilets so I wouldn’t cry in front of the class. I'm a complete emotional wreck at the moment, so I'm not exactly a ball of sunshine. By the way I do apologise for moaning about my emotional life but I feel as if I can vent on here. My day did get better when I popped to my Nan.J's (who is actually 88 not 87 - oops); to wait for Charlie but it was nice to sit and have a chat with my Nan. So Charlie and I headed to Purley Way to look at Toyotas. Now the one in question is the Aygo which is a nice small little car, but it had plenty of space for my long legs. I'm definitely more for the Toyota than the C1 but only Charlie can make the decision.

To the outfit...

I have to admit even though I was late leaving the house, I had to run in my Dr Martens and I had to hold the skirt going up and down the stairs; I actually felt pretty cool today. You know when you see those people who have impeccable style and you just want to raid their wardrobes; I actually felt like one of them today I finally feel I belong (I joke). I feel combining patterns with vintage and new pieces, makes for quite a decent looking outfit. This jacket I ordered a week and a half ago (pay day) from Berty & Gerty Vintage on ASOS Marketplace. I love Berty & Gerty Vintage it's literally the only place I go to in Camden, I love their affordable and wearable vintage pieces - generally I love them! I was browsing the ASOS Marketplace when I saw the Berty & Gerty Vintage boutique, I literally got excited I'm not even gonna lie. After falling in love with too many vintage scarves I saw this camouflage jacket/shirt for £18. Now at the time I thought it was a proper jacket, so I thought complete bargain plus its vintage and totally worth it. When I received the jacket last Thursday and saw it was a shirt-turned-jacket, I still fell in love with it and I still think £18 is totally worth it. I will be wearing this a hell of a lot in the future. Now this snazzy looking skirt was a complete bargain. I love maxi skirts I think they're the ultimate go to piece whether summer or winter. I found this skirt by sheer flook last Thursday in New Look, it was Leah's suggestion that we go look at the sale. I was by the sale rack, turned round and saw it hanging there, picked it up, saw it was a size 16 and £8, how could I resist?? I tried it on and knew immediately that I had to own it and love it forever, it wasn't till I got home that I realised it's from the tall section (hence why it's so long). It goes so well with my Dr Martens!! And yes I am wearing them again, slowly getting used to them.

Well I technically should be doing my homework right now that's due tomorrow; but as usual I get distracted and decided to do a new post.

Oh well at least I have the pleasure of your company again.

Time to watch more Bond movies. I love Pierce Brosnan as Bond I think his flirtation with Moneypenny is so funny.

Will I ever find my Bond, James Bond??

Who knows...

Nursery Rhymes I’m Singing My Dreams...

Happy Sunday!!!

Yes it's Sunday again!!

I literally can't believe how quickly the weeks go by now!!

I think I say this every week but it's true.

I'm just going to mention something quickly which you may not know - it's my birthday in 2 weeks!!! YES 2 WEEKS TODAY!!! Completely insane!!

As you know Sunday means playlist time. Now I haven't really been listening to new music, so I'm going to pick some old songs that I've gotten in to again.

(I will warn it's another female dominated week).

ENJOY!!

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

It's good to see you all again!!!

I've had quite a tiring week but it's about to get more hectic in the next fortnight!!

I reckon come the 22nd I'll be absolutely dead in my early morning Law lesson, I can't wait for half term.

Anyway...

This was me yesterday when I popped to Kingston to see Rowanna.

Now I have to admit that this week (and this week alone) I have repeated an outfit. I know shock horror but I did it with good intentions. You see I originally wore this outfit to college on Wednesday; but as my hair was a mess I didn't take a photo. So I decided to wear it again yesterday to do the outfit some justice. As I said yesterday I popped to Kingston to see Rowanna. It was a whole new experience for me as I had to get a bus that I've never been on before - X26. Now usually I'm alright with going on adventures and getting lost; but for some reason yesterday I spent the whole journey with a petrified look on my face. I was so happy when I got off and met with Rowanna, not only because I've missed her but at least by then I knew where I was. We popped to her student digs where I got to have a nose around, and I'm not kidding when I say it looked like a hotel. There were doors everywhere you looked, long corridors and everything was neutral. I did like her room as it has a nice big wardrobe and plenty of storage; the kitchen area had a breakfast bar and a couple of sofas. Overall it's a really nice building and I've certainly got high standards for my future student digs. We did go for lunch together where we both had nice greasy all day breakfasts, you have no idea how much I've missed hash browns - I love them! We had a nice long chat and caught up seen as we hadn't seen each in a month and a half. After lunch we went for a look round a few of the shops and to see the leaning telephone boxes. We had a rummage through a vintage store and then headed to H&M; where I picked up a very fluffy gilet which I absolutely adore (in fact I originally saw it on Thursday but decided to be good). Primark was the next port of call where I picked up a clutch bag to go with my birthday dress, (yep I've already got it). I headed home shortly afterwards as Rowanna had a lecture in the afternoon; but overall it was a really good day, I enjoyed myself and I can't wait to go back.

To the outfit...

Now like I said earlier this is actually an outfit repeat (as I originally wore it on Wednesday); but I actually really like this ensemble. There's just something about monochrome that gets me excited (not in that way); I'm constantly adding to my monochrome wardrobe. The leather look jacket and cardigan are new additions to my wardrobe from Primark. I've been after a long sleeved leather jacket for a few months now and I've looked at many different versions. My favourite was from Debenhams a Matthew Williamson bronze coloured one; but unfortunately a size 16 is a very popular size. I popped in to Primark last week with the intentions of purchasing a leather jacket, I couldn't find one in my size and it wasn't till Leah turned around by accident and found one. I'm really happy with the fit of this jacket but my only problem with it, is the bagginess on the arms but it's fine once you have a chunky knit on underneath. I also picked this cardigan up on the same day. I actually don't have a black cardigan that I can wear just everyday, so when I saw this cardigan just sitting there I knew I had to have it. It is a size 14 but it fits really nicely, it also has patches on the elbows to give it that old fashioned feel.

I'm on complete stress mode at the moment for all sorts of reasons, so I'm not exactly the nicest person you'll ever meet.

Come back and see me in a years time - in fact make it 10!!

Time to de-stress now??

I don't think so...
