Recent buys,

I'm so sorry that I've not been posting too often and I wont lie and say that I've been swamped with university work and deadlines because I've honestly not. I have however been having the time of my life and absolutely loving being a fresher, spending time with my closest friends. It's been a great couple of weeks!

I thought I'd do a little update of things I've bought recently, I've managed to tick a few things off my wishlists as well!

Parka - Asos // Printed tunic - Topshop // Cardigan - Miss Selfridge // Jurassic Park T - Ebay // Lace Top - Topshop

My parents treated me to the Parka and let me say this one thing, I have never in my life worn something more warm and comfortable, I've pretty much not taken it off since I got it in the post. The Jurassic Park T hasn't arrived yet but I am so unbelievably excited to wear it - JP is my favorite film of all time.

wearing my new cardigan!

I'll try to get a proper post together as soon as possible but for now this is all I have to offer I'm sorry! Have any of you bought anything wonderful lately? 

Snow Day,

So due to the fact that I'm only actually in lectures for one day a week I've had more than enough time to play in the snow recently. I'll admit that when I first saw it falling from the sky last Friday I was almost as excited as any little kid is on Christmas Eve - this is mostly because where I'm from we NEVER get snow, something about being too close to the sea I'm unsure really - anyway, along with a few of my flat mates the snow was our playground this past long weekend.

I've spent hours outside, so much so that every part of my body aches from running, ducking and throwing snowballs at people who used to be complete strangers but whom I'd now gladly call friends. The snow really brought everyone on my campus together, we had a massive snowball fight then all gave in and came inside for hot drinks it was really sweet.

Walking up the hill to my lecture today was a scary life threatening task and I wasn't sure I was going to make it, there were a few moments where it was touch and go and there was a very real possibility I was about to find myself face first in the icy slush. Pretty much everything has melted away now and it's a sort of sad feeling, although as I write this I can see it starting to snow again so who knows we may have a few more days of cold fun left afterall.

How do you feel about the snow? Love it/loathe it? 

Back to the land of the living,

So I may or may not have posted on this blog in 90 days but hopefully all that is about to change as I've now got more spare time and nothing other than blogging to fill it with.
Let me start my return with a quick catch up of what I've been up to since October (wow I really have been gone a long time)...
Well there was Halloween, my favorite holiday of the year and last years was even better than any other I've ever experienced, seriously Halloween at university will change your life - enough said. Then there were a good few weeks where very little happened before I left London and headed North again to spend Christmas and New Years with my family. Both of which were good and bad at the same time if that's possible...

Anyway, this is a new year 2013 (I'm still not used to writing it down) and I intend on being more up to date and generally a better blogger.
But the proper posting of fashion etc. will have to wait until tomorrow because I'm currently in the process of applying for a job at Cath Kidston - only my favorite store in the entire world - so wish me luck and I'll see all you lovely people asap.

My last week at home pt. II

1. A picture of me and all of my best friends // 2. Last ever Nandos with the wolfpack // 3. Chris and Simon looking sad and cold at 6am in McDonald after a night out // 4. Drunkenly asking Sophie where the taxi is before our last night out in Southport // 5. Buying Antony some goodbye Capris // 6. Me & Sophie 

I'm so upset at the moment, that and confused. I don't really know how to leave things with people before I move away tomorrow morning. Hmmm.

My last week at home pt. I

1. Recreating a 7 year old photo with my two best friends 2. My niece being a Hells Angel 3. Cuddles with Sophie 4. Alfie and Scarlett being best friends 5. The Red Arrows flying over Southport Pier this weekend at work 6. My fave natural yogurt bar in the village

I don't know what I'm going to do when I leave this weekend, i'm going to miss everything so much!

preparation

These past few weeks have been none stop preparation for university and the big move to London. Don't get me wrong I am beyond excited to move away and start uni, I can't wait to meet the new people and for the general experience of living away from my parents and in the countries capital - but I can't help but realise how much I'm going to miss everything from back home when I'm gone.
Mums pretty much bought everything and anything I may possibly need when I move out, and I'm so unbelievably thankful to her for doing all that she has, seriously I am so set for uni its unreal - if you need anything and you haven't got it, I suggest you come to me cause chances are i'm the girl for you. Fully equipped and completely ready to go!

I cant really begin to explain how much I'm going to miss my home, my family and my friends it's going to be so strange to leave it all behind but I know everything will be perfect when I come home at Christmas and see them all again.
