Seven random facts about moi...


1. I am a total gym bunny (I might not look it...)


I love going to the gym, it makes me feel good about myself & so much more confident. I started going in March this year & have become a regular there. It has completely changed the way I see myself & is something I really enjoy.


2. Hugh Jackman is my all time love


He is just the dream! Handsome, charming, can sing, can act, can dance, is funny. He is the whole package. Some crushes have come and gone but the Jackman has stayed always!


3. I detest the colour purple


The colour is just gross! It only works on a handful of people others it just doesn't work on. I am one that it doesn't work on. You will never catch me in purple. Although I do have a lilacy Blackberry cover but my phone suits it... 


4. I have a small group of close friends


I love my little group of friends. I trust them and can tell them anything. We've been through up and downs together but the support I've had from them, particularly in the summer was just amazing. Really made me see how lucky I am.


5.  My mum is my best friend


I know I said I have a small group of friends that have my back regardless but my mum is my total true, best friend. She has always been there & I can tell her anything without her judging me. I tell her everything mundane pointless stuff, my worries etc, about boys - anything. She will listen. Love my mama muchly! 


6. I am addicted to period dramas


Downton Abbey, Pride & Prejudice, The Tudors - anything like that, I love. They are just so much more 'fantasy' TV - in a way - than watching something modern although I am a fan of 'modern' TV. Kardashians for the win! 


7.  I am a first class sandwich lover


My brother & I make amazing sandwiches - if we do say so ourselves. You can't beat a good sandwich with lots of fillings. They are just the best! 


So there are my rather ahem random facts for you.


I am meant to name blogs butttt there are so many so feel free to do this and link me!

SHOCKING

Just another random little post featuring a couple of other birthday presents. The first is my favourite mascara, YSL Faux Cils but the 'shocking' version. I like it but there is a really floral scent to it which I didn't notice with the original version but it is my holy grail mascara so can't complain!

I have a thing for tea cups. I love them. Pretty ones particularly. My mum spotted this one in Topshop and instantly thought of me! It is so pretty and delicate, with a quirky edge. Loooove it! I don't want to use it for tea just yet - it's too pretty for that! So for now it has pride of place on one of my shelves.

I'm off to work soon. Boo hoo!! After a week off work I really don't want to go back! Must think of the money and the pretty things I can buy with it! I will, promise, do my eye make up post this week, Friday probably maybe tomorrow but it will be this week.

Not much else has been going on, pretty quiet after my birthday bash. I am planning on taking a trip into town soon to see about a pencil skirt. I really want a black one with a textured fabric. I have seen one in Topshop and one in Miss Selfridge but need to go in to the shops to try them on and see what the material is like.

Have a good day x

NAVY & CORAL

Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I got some lovely presents & had a really lovely time with my family and chums celebrating. I had been searching about for some nice knitwear as winter is pretty much here - boo hoo! Whilst browsing the Zara website one night I came across some really nice oval neck jumper, of course I instantly fell in love with them and hinted to my brother about getting one as a birthday present.

My birthday rolled around & I opened my present from him and he bought me two of them! Nicest brother ever I think. One is a navy and the other a beautiful coral - with more orange than red - colour. Both have gold button detail on the cuffs and are a beautiful soft knit. Really loving them!

I will be doing a post on my eye make up soon as it was requested so that will be up soon.

Hope you're all well :) x

FEELING CLASSY

So this is my birthday party outfit. I love it so much and will definitely be wearing it again. I felt very lady like and classy ... then I got drunk! ha It was an amazing night, had such a good time. Best birthday party ever. Roll on my actual birthday on Monday!

I have an essay due on Wednesday, no idea what I'm really doing for it but fingers crossed! I want to get back into blogging more regularly, miss coming on here and writing whatever comes into my head. Birthday resolution - blog more!

Hope you're all well.

CONTENDED SOUL

Just a random post today, I feel like blogging so I'm going to. Afraid it is going to be random rambles - lucky you. I am meant to be doing uni work but it is one of those assessments where I have no idea how to start so am forever putting it off. Bad idea but I never learn.

I have two shifts at work then off for a week for my birthday, very exciting. I am really happy with my outfit which always makes nights out go a lot smoother I think. I will get a decent picture and no doubt post about it as I love it so much. I posted this picture (above) to my dailybooth with a caption saying I actually look and feel happy in this picture and it is the first time I've felt like this in ages which is true - I have been feeling a bit lost recently but I think things are starting to pick up which is never a bad thing!

I wore my Topshop boots for the first time today, love them. So cosy and nice although I am not 100% if I like them styled with jeans but maybe I just need to play about with them a little bit. Also, bought myself some 100 denier thermal tights from Asda for, wait for it .... £3!! They are so frickin cosy & a total bargain.

Not sure I have much else to ramble on about & waste you good peoples time.

Oh actually, one more thing Jen a very lovely blogger commented on my last post & as I normally do I check if she has a blog which she does. Go check it out, she is amazing. LINK

Have a good weekend & I'll no doubt be back procrastinating soon!

SPARKLE

My 22nd second birthday is soon, the 31st of October to be exact and I wanted something special to wear. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to wear based around my new midi skirt from New Look and some pink Moda in Pelle peep toes. I knew I wanted a bralet to wear with it so after much hunting and pleads for help on Twitter I found this little beauty on Etsy. 

It is a vintage, sequinned bralet that fits perfectly & is exactly what I had been searching for! Love!

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING

Ladies, I would like to introduce you to my lovely new boots. I got them from Topshop when the 20% off was on. I am yet to wear them but they are oh so pretty.  Uni is getting crazy, the work is slowly building up - eek!
