Hey All!!
How are we all??
Good??
That's what I like to hear!!
I have to admit I'm a mix of emotions today...
You see on one hand I only had three and a bit hours sleep so I'm half dead; and on the other I'm currently watching the Festival of Remembrance which gets me going.
I don't know what it is about the troops but I just start crying!!
When it was the Super Bowl I actually started crying when they flashed to the troops out in Afghanistan!!
Yes I started crying at troops watching football...don't ask!!
Also I did my first haul video today and whenever I try to upload it my laptop keeps dying, which now pisses me off cause it's happened three times now.
Anyway...
This was me earlier today after coming back from Bluewater with Charlie.
Charlie had previously offered to take me on a day out; but last Saturday I wasn't in exactly a good mood (something about Saturdays) so we put it off. We kept thinking about where we'd want to go but we pretty much wanted to go everywhere. There were many suggestions like zoos, castles, National Trust places (reminds me of my childhood); but in the end we decided to window shop in Bluewater. We were up pretty early this morning especially considering I hadn't really slept, (that's what you get for crashing on the sofa and being up till 5am). Even though when we left in Mildred we were running later we still got there early (well for us). It was quite funny because as we arrived at the vastness that is Bluewater, we were listening to 'It's a Small World' which instantly reminds me of Disneyland Paris. I suddenly got really excited and felt as if I was in Disneyland. I won't bore you with all the details of Charlie and I walking in and out of various shops; but here are a few highlights - we got lost in John Lewis, Charlie treated me to the Animators Doll of Mulan (I already have the Aurora one); I picked up an amazing aztec/tribal print maxi skirt for a tenner from Urban Outfitters, Charlie got her dress for her post graduation night out, I picked up a present for my Mum's birthday and we had lunch in a nice restaurant called Giraffe. Overall it was a nice day but by god was I tired (still am) when we left; doesn't help that I currently have back/shoulder ache on my right side. Mean.
To the outfit...
I feel like I'm currently dressing like a 16 year old. Not that it's a bad thing to dress like that, I'm merely saying for a 20 year old I should be dressing more demurely. I wanted to be comfortable and initially last night I did kinda want to wear my Alexy boots; but I would have died in them and would have had to buy a new pair of shoes. I decided to wear my new Purple Cosmic Print Lace Up Trainers from New Look. I ordered these in a large order last Saturday and I'm not a big trainer fan; but for some reason I liked the alternative look of these. I really liked the cosmic print which I wasn't originally sure I would buy in to; but I think this is a good way to dip your foot in. For £9.99 (they're currently 25% off so they're cheaper); you're undoubtedly going to get your moneys worth and I wore them today and I have no complaints. I have quite big feet so when I see my size I buy them and I'm glad I invested in these shoes. They're definitely going to be my go to pair of shoes in this unpredictable weather. I kept the rest of my outfit pretty basic with a grey/black mix with silver jewellery.
I'm not feeling like myself tonight and I think I need to forget that I have work in the morning.
I'm going to try and upload my haul tomorrow without my laptop dying.
Wish me luck...
