Birthday,

Good afternoon! I'm blogging from my uni room on my 19th birthday (I'm waiting for my flat mates to get out of lectures and do things with me, i'm not just being a recluse) and since I've currently got nothing to do I figured I'll show you some of the things I got for my birthday.

I woke up this morning to numerous cards that had arrived in the post and a number of surprises left for me by my flat before they all headed out to their early lectures.

my card that the whole flat signed

my gifts off my flat mates

my beautiful new satchel off my parents

Tonight the Italian boy that lives in my flat is making us all Italian food for tea and we're going to have a massive family meal before heading into Central and finding some clubs. I'm so excited aaahhh. 

Halloween,

The time is nearly upon us where girls are free to ditch all moral obligations to dress respectfully and to head out on the town dressed in the skimpiest of outfits, calling themselves "a mouse...duh"

I however hope to not be one of those girls, although I will certainly be dressing up in some sort of outfit, currently the only one I can think of/think I will suit/be able to pull off is none other than my favourite Disney Princess - The Little Mermaid. 

I figure that I've already got the hair situation down, as for everything else thats another matter entirely.

I've come up with a few options but I'd very much like to hear your thoughts...

yay or nay?

Monday blues,

I have too much Greek homework to even consider posting properly tonight.

My relevant top of today.

I need your help,

Evening all, sorry for my complete lack of posts and all together general uselessness at blogging but I've come to post today with a problem that I'm hoping you'll be able to help me solve.

Now I've lusted after a Cambridge Satchel for months, and now since my birthday is coming up my mother has promised she will get me a bag similar - not an actual Cambridge Satchel as those prices are way out of our price range - however I'm completely unable to decide between these two colours and I need your help to decide.

comments would be much appreciated!

Procrastination,

I'm becoming increasingly aware of the fact that I'm yet to show my face on this blog and I feel like I'm not a very good blogger because of it. I started out on this blog with every intention of posting ootd's and other such things, all involving photographs of myself.

However i've now come to realise that I don't particularly like taking photographs of myself, and I'm never happy enough with how they come out to put them on here - believe me I've tried numerous times.

I'm getting there though.
Hey blogger here I am

If you hadn't noticed I'm procrastinating massively and cannot for the life of me come up with any ideas of posts with any substance, does anyone have any ideas on what I should post?

£50 Boohoo Fashion Voucher blogger challenge,

Fashion Vouchers has come up with an exciting competition directed towards the avid fashion blogger with a keen eye for saving money and that competition is the £50 Boohoo challenge.
The competition states that an entire outfit must be created by surfing the Boohoo website, picking and choosing elements of the outfit as you go. However the catch is that the outfit you create cannot exceed a price of £50 - this is without the use of student discounts etc.

I personally thing this is a fantastic idea for a competition as it really brings out the saver in all of us.

Admittedly I've never actually been onto the Boohoo website before, let alone bought anything from there so I found it good fun searching through the clothes and picking out my outfit for £50.
In the end I chose the above items which in total added up to the exact amount of money I was allowed. I absolutely love the blouse, I'm really into these at the moment and I love the two tone colours of it, the skater skirt is also a staple item of any girls wardrobe and I feel it would go beautifully with the blouse (with perhaps a thin belt?) both the brogues and the clutch bag are both reasonably basic items that could go with pretty much anything and everything which is mostly why I chose them - as if I bought this outfit I'd be able to wear/use those things with other outfits rather than just this one.
I'd feel comfortable wearing this outfit out in the evening, perhaps to a nice meal when dressed up with accessories - which sadly I couldn't accommodate into my £50 budget - and heels or with the brogues in the day time, along with an oversize studded hand bag rather than the clutch.

Overall this competition has been a voyage of discovery for me as I would never have ventured onto the Boohoo website were it not for this reason, and now unfortunately for my student loan I don't seem to be able to click off of it.

Anyway, sorry about spamming you all with two posts today, but I really wanted to give this competition a go and I think that you all should too - the prize is a £50 voucher to spend on Boohoo.com so why not! It's totally worth a shot!

P.s - Entries are allowed up until the 30th September so get a move on! 

Sweater weather is better weather,

Now then, despite the fact that the past few weeks I've seen the best weather since I went to Malia on holiday this summer, the weather is finally beginning to act its season - and that season is Autumn/Winter. 

Given the fact that my accommodation is not on campus I've got to walk to my lectures, and with recent weather I've been more than thankful for my absolute plethora of chunky knit sweaters - which for some reason I appear to be the queen of I just have so many! 

Jumpers are my favourite thing about winter, there's nothing better than snuggling into a cosy jumper and sitting under your duvet with a cup of tea and a good book/movie and the good thing about chunky knit sweaters like these is that they can pretty much go with whatever - be it jeans or leggings (if they're long enough for you to wear them with leggins) 

However not all my jumpers are the chunky type, I love these thinner more slouchy sweaters just as much - if not more - and will wear them none stop throughout the coming months.
Personally I feel that every girl should have one staple winter jumper, or in my case millions.

What do you think about jumpers? Do you have any favourites?
