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!

The Camo,


Now, I know that the 'camo' jacket has been massive this past summer/month and without sounding like I'm jumping on the bandwagon too much I completely love it. Not just the style of jacket, but the colour - khaki green is like my perfect colour, going just about perfectly with my skin tone and hair colour so you can see how I'd be thrilled at this sudden influx of army inspired clothing. However my bank balance and the whole saving for uni thing has not yet allowed me to hop onto this bandwagon and cruise out of the station just yet, but I am definitely going to invest in a camo jacket asap, possibly one of these which are all around the region of £48 (pricey but hopefully worth it)

What are your thoughts on this sudden trend of army inspired clothing? Love it or loathe it?

God bless you Royal Mail,


Now i'm aware I only actually ordered my Vivienne Westwood bracelet around 3 or 4 days ago but I already found myself becoming impatient waiting for it to arrive, and so when I checked the mail this morning I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a package.
I'm so happy with the bracelet, the fact that it was so much cheaper than it was meant to be, I honestly don't know why whoever the previous owner was wasn't satisfied with it, the only thing I can think of is that it is quite small and although it isn't tight on my wrist I can understand that it may be on some peoples. However it fits me perfectly and I'm absolutely in love with it!



As well as my wonderful VW package I also received two things I'd completely forgotten I'd ordered (I'm stocking up on uni clothes at the moment, so with each pay cheque that comes along I order a few more things) I couldn't resist the blouse because it's just so sweet and looks absolutely lovely tucked into a pair of black skinny jeans, its great as a casual top or I think it could be just as easily dressed up to make it a little more formal for a meal out or something similar. The jumper is probably the comfiest thing I've ever tried on, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first but I ordered it just in case (you can always send things back afterall) and it turns out I adore it, despite the flashes of hot pink - a colour that my skin tone and hair colour usually do not agree with - it looks really nice on and I think it'll be a really easy thing to just throw on before a lecture, and hopefully wont leave me looking like another lazy student who's just rolled out of bed.
Jumper: Miss Selfridge

Blouse: Dorothy Perkins

So what do we think? Is there anything you simply couldn't leave for uni without? I'm hoping to cover all the staple things before I leave for LDN next weekend - exciting!

Pastels in winter,


I'm a firm believer that anything and everything pastel coloured is 100% okay and completely fabulous all the time. Pastels were massive this summer but I personally love pastels in winter just as much.

top, scarf, belt, shoes, bag = topshop
skirt, tights = miss selfridge

I really love this outfit and i'm currently scouring the land for a new chunky knit scarf which I think is a winter essential - and despite the wonderful weather we've been experiencing completely out of season this week I'm so excited to start snuggling up into comfortable warm clothes and digging out my mittens.

bargain,

Ebay is without a doubt one of the greatest websites on earth, so many wonderful items to be had and all at reasonable prices! I have a few saved searches on Ebay which i'll check every couple of weeks and I'm so thankful that I did because yesterday I picked up one of the best bargains ever.
I got this gorgeous VW bracelet for just £15.00 and considering the RRP is £85.00 I'm extremely proud of myself.

Just got to wait for it to arrive in the post now - exciting! What bargains have you picked up recently?

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.

                                                      Anyway here's some recent photos


 my oyster card finally arrived!
