Hey Everyone!!!
How are we all enjoying 2013??
It's been a pretty busy start to the New Year so I guess I can't complain. 
I just realised I look like I'm hunched over in this picture!!
I haven't suddenly grown a hunch (I promise).
I'm not wearing any make up as my Mum woke up late, so I woke up late and had to forfeit make up!!
Not fair!!
I feel like I'm really orange in make up at the moment...
Maybe I'm putting too much on??
I'm going off topic!!!
Anyway...
This was me earlier today after popping in to see my new baby cousin.
This is the point where I mention that there is a new addition to the nutter family. A little blue eyed boy who as of yet has no name (my aunt wants Harry - yay! My uncle wants Max - boo!); but he is so adorable and small. He was 8 pound 9 ounces when he was born which is a whole pound less then me, so yes that means I am still the biggest baby out of all the cousins (I'm so proud). Bruiser (as we call him) was born on New Years Eve so you can imagine how small he is. Yesterday while in Bluewater (you can watch Charlie and I's shopping vlog here); we bought a bunch of little outfits for the little man and yes skulls were involved. So on to today!! We left about 9 something this morning and headed for a McDonald's breakfast (I need to diet NOW); I do enjoy a breakfast but I only have it on special occasions. I will say it was quite interesting resting my big breakfast on a cushion, while trying to eat with a knife and fork and making sure the hash browns didn't run away. It was slightly chaotic as you can tell. We had to go via Bluewater as one of the outfits we got Bruiser still had the security tag on. You'd be surprised how often that actually happens and it's annoying!! I didn't mind going back to Bluewater but I did just go to have a go at the Virgin Mobile guy. After sending my phone back 8 times in a space of 10 months and having 7 replacements, I'm so sick of it and I'm either going to demand a brand new non HTC phone or buy out of my contract. So when we back on the road it was general singing along to the musicality CD I made with Charlie. Eventually we arrived in Chatham where my aunt and (now) three cousins reside on a very big hill. I take one look at this hill and went hell no!! Again I'm going off topic... The boys Mason (4) and Jack (2) opened the door and OMG my parents weren't kidding when they said Jack is small. He's tiny considering he's 2 years old; poor little thing. I caught sight of my auntie/godmother Lisa and in her arms was a small little tigger. Honestly I wanted to grab him and run away with him because he looked so cute. I managed to have a cuddle with him (below);

at one point he did start crying but after my Mum took him away he soon calmed down. My cuddle was extended (that's when this was taken); he fell asleep on me just like Jack did when he was a baby. This little Bruiser is so lovely!! Both Mum and Charlie had nice long hugs with the little man, while we all juggled the boys grabbing our attention and of course talking to Lisa. It was really nice seeing them all as I haven't seen them in over a year. I do definitely have moments when I want a baby, especially when I was holding Bruiser but when he started crying I came back to reality. It's easier to have them as cousins then you can hand them back. Even though he's only 3 days old he is certainly part of the family.
To the outfit...
Now I am wearing three new items in this outfit!! First is my t-shirt which unfortunately you can't see that well in either pictures; but is certainly something that relates to me. I purchased this t-shirt on last pay day online at New Look. I was instantly drawn to this t-shirt for the slogan 'College Dropout' (you can see why I liked it). It was £8.99 and New Look's version of the Topshop 'Geek' t-shirts (which I also have); but as you can tell a cheaper price. It is a thinner material then the chunky 'Geek' ones; but still a decent material and rolled up sleeves. At the moment I believe it only comes in black and I also purchased the boyfriend fit one. I will be wearing this a lot in the future. Second is my skater skirt from River Island (similar here). Again this was purchased on pay day from the sale for £10. I made a conscious effort to buy bottoms and not tops that I usually stock up on. It said burgundy on the website but when I received it the tag said purple, now it's a mixture of both colours and it all depends on the light. Which ever colour it looks like I still like it and think it's a good piece for any wardrobe. I did worry that it might be too short but it fits perfectly and it's a nice length. Perfect for winter and spring. Thirdly and lastly is this Quilted Spike Crossbody Bag from Forever 21. You have no idea how long I have waited to find a bag like this. I spend most of my days trailing websites with no luck; but I walk in to Forever 21 and I just casually bump in to it and fall in love. I was trying some stuff on so I made a pact, that if I didn't find anything else I would definitely buy this and I did. It fits all my crap in it (which is always good) and you know how I love quilted, spikes, chains and black. The spikes are quite sharp so I would be careful if you do buy it - well you should buy it!! Why wouldn't you?? I will be using this all the time (no exaggeration).
This post is longer then I intended it to be but I hey why not make it a long post.
I'm currently relaxing watching TV with my parents when I technically should be packing. Tomorrow I go to Cheltenham overnight with Charlie, so I will take clothes for at least a fortnight.
I was really good because I did plan what I was taking; but after yesterday I want to now take all my new stuff.
Shopping before you go away is never a good idea!!
Ok that's a lie it's always a good idea!!
