Hey Everyone!!
O MG I am completely dead!!
I'm so frigging tired it’s unreal!!
I'm aching all over that the idea of work tomorrow makes me want to cry.
It's been a long two days and although I've been half sitting down/half walking; I'm completely achy, tired and dead (but not literally).
I'm moaning a lot today...
I do apologise but I admitted to being in a bad mood earlier, (this is what you get when you drag me out of a king size bed against my will).
Anyway...
This was me yesterday and earlier today in Cheltenham and after I got home, (that sounds a little bit confusing doesn't it).
Charlie was heading to Cheltenham overnight to go for a late Christmas meal with some Uni friends. I was not invited (meanies); but I had a pack of 4 ring doughnuts so you can imagine my happiness. Our day started quite late yesterday as I didn't want to get out of bed (common occurrence). We ended up dropping our Mum off in town and then headed towards Cheltenham town. We got some petrol and drove straight through for about 2 and a half hours (or maybe 3 hours). When we got to Cheltenham we parked in the car park (Mildred was parked next to a Evoque, an old Jag and an Audi); and decided to head in to town and get some grub. Charlie and I headed to Cafe Rouge which O M G looks like it just walked out of Midnight in Paris. I felt very Parisian in my Dr Martens (classy); the classic pictures hung on the wall and it just felt really cosy. The only problem was you had to walk miles to the toilets (typical me to point that out). We had a starter of a bread board and Charlie had artichoke tapenade and then for main I had, half a roast chicken with salad and chips (it's not as big as it sounds) and Charlie had an aubergine gratin. We didn't stay for desert as we were completely stuffed but what we had was lovely. Next we went dress shopping for Charlie but she didn't find anything amazing. Disney Store was next and because it was shutting down (see what happens when Charlie leaves Uni); and they had a bit of a sale which I didn't actually look at. I headed straight for the cuddly toys as I wanted to get Maximus; but when Charlie came over with a load of Frankenweenie things from the sale I decided to have a look. I managed to pick up a Villains Sweatshirt, Cruella De Vil T-shirt and a Maleficent cuddly doll. We saved over £80 in the Disney Store!! Next was NewLook which I wasn't really interested in, so I left Charlie to wander around to see if she found anything she liked. I picked her out some black baroque trousers which were down to £7; she also picked up a new coat and an aztec print dress. Overall a successful trip for Charlie!! I did enquire about a tattoo for price wise; but I think it's pretty much the same price down here. After picking up snacks in M&S (DOUGHNUTS) we headed to The Strozzi Palace aka my dream home. Although we had to go up a feck load of stairs we entered the amazing room (I will be putting a room tour on YouTube soon). Charlie soon left me to go to her friends so I decided to film two videos - What's in my bag?? And a room tour (that'll be up soon). I then went in to the shower which was a lovely 20 minutes I reckon. I certainly managed to relax and wash my hair (always a good thing). I eventually sat down around eightish and decided to watch a bit of TV; I did catch the new episode of Room 101 with Miranda Hart who was hilarious on it. I ended up watching 84 Charing Cross Road which is one of my favourite movies; it's perfect for any literary lovers or anyone who just loves classic movies. While watching the movie I finished off the doughnuts and then Charlie came home. We just chatted and then decided it was time to go sleepies!! I listened to my iPod because I was quite scared about how dark it was. Charlie did wake me up during the night as she wasn't feeling well; but then next minute I knew it was 9am. Charlie headed in to the shower so I had the king size bed to myself for an hour, so I fell asleep for an hour until I was woken up at 10am. I rushed getting ready as we were running late and headed to the car. We then headed to Cirencester - now this is the point where I won't mention too much, as I've vlogged my day today which will be up on YouTube soon. I did pick up some bread and 2 cameo ornaments which were a fiver each. We then headed home with a stop off in Reading service station for a Burger King. It feels good being home but I do ache quite a bit.
To the outfit...
Now I have three new things to show you today. The first appears in outfit one, second in outfit one and two and then the third in outfit two. The first is my nice brand new coat. As you guys know I'm not a fan of coats but I've really needed a new one, so I've been on the lookout but didn't want to pay over £50. I've been a fan of this style coat since I saw Lexi of Fashion Filth wearing the Zara one. I picked this one up in River Island on Wednesday in Bluewater. It was the last one on the rack and I had no idea if it was in the sale or not. I didn't want to pay the £75 price tag so I decided to hunt someone down to find out. When the lady gunned it she pointed out it was the last one they had, which I thought was nice of her tell me but I wanted to know the price. When she said £40 I was half O M G that's sooooo good and the other half was a flashing £40 in my head. I decided to try it on and make my decision and as soon as I put it on, I knew I had to have and that was that. I finally have a coat that I can do up without squashing my boobs and one that covers my bum. Thank you River Island!! Secondly is my velvet leggings from Warehouse. I've been on a mission to pick up bottoms to wear. I'm constantly in my old faithful’s and as soon as they're in the wash I'm lost, so on Wednesday I was on a mission to find some bottoms to add to my collection. I trust Warehouse when it comes to trousers, so I was hoping to find at least one thing in the sale. I picked up these velvet leggings and thought I might as well try them and see how they look. By some miracle they fitted and for £7 it was a no brainer. They're such a great alternative to the normal jersey leggings and from my old faithful’s. I did try the denim route but that just looks odd on me. It was nice wearing stretchy clothing. And thirdly is something you can't see that well; but they are my snake hoop earrings. Unfortunately my spiked hoops have broken and I need to find a replacement, so I decided the other week to just have a look on the Accessorize website. This pair of hoops really stood out for me as not only are they snakes (which usually I'm not a fan of); but they have green stones as eyes which make then so vibrant. They are a bit of a bugger as the kept digging in to my tartan scarf; but for £4 you can't complain. I did pick up another pair of hoops as well so perhaps I might wear them more.
Blooming hell I've finally finished this blog post YAYAYAY!!!
I apologise for writing so much but you know what I'm like, I seem to babble whether I'm writing or talking.
I've eaten way too much food today and watched not enough TV, so I think I'm going to even up the balance.
What about sleeping??
Maybe later...
