Just another week #8

It's Sunday and I have to go back to uni on Wednesday! Not that I actually have to go anywhere, or travel, it's only a 15 minute drive every morning but, it will be nice to get back into a proper routine again! Instead of waking up at 12pm and mooching around all day, not doing much. 

So onto what's been happening this week:

1. This week has had it's ups and downs, first of all, I was sick on Tuesday, which wasn't great as I was going to book my tattoo on Tuesday. However I couldn't get out of bed - girl problems. Let's leave it at that. 

2. Just an image from my blog, I entered the Passion for Fashion competition in association with money super market, you can read my entry here, and there is still time if you want to enter! Competition closes tomorrow at 12pm! 

3. Me wearing my new Fedora! So glad I finally have one, read my outfit post on it here. 

4. A set of images from my Zara city office bag! Finally got my hands on it, I will be doing a 'what's in my bag' post later on this week, as well as a review of the bag itself. 

5. Another image including my new bag, new hat and new Elle magazine. I thought it looked really cute. 

6. Thatchers cider at the pub yesterday, with my parents. We had to get out of my house because we had a house viewing (we're selling our house), seeing as it was an actual spring day yesterday we decided to sit outside, and I had a pint of cider :) 

7. When we got home I turned the TV on to see the Mannequin was being shown, Ok, it's not the best film, but to see Kim Cattrall not in Sex in the City is a novelty, and the fact it optimises the 80's I couldn't resist.

8. My Elle May edition, I was quite disappointed that they have not included their 'Elle Inspire' section this month, as I think it is a really nice feature to have in a magazine, which people buy to be inspired. 

But you know maybe it will come back in next months issue. 

 I'm off to my boyfriends house tonight, to go out for the evening with his friends. Which will be a nice way to end the week. 

How has everyone's weeks been?

On another note, I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday and could do with some advice. I have no idea what I should do with my hair, what do you reckon? 

It would be really helpful :)

Just another week #6

Hi everyone, I seriously need to get my butt into gear when it comes to blogging! 

I will do some product reviews soon, seeing as I got paid this weekend, so I'll actually have some money to spend! Yay! So any beauty suggestions that you would like me to blog about/review, please let me know!

I started off this week getting used to being off of uni, I've finished for Easter, which means I have 3 weeks to catch up with all that uni work, I haven't done. 

Monday I decided to finally read my Elle April edition! There was a really interesting article in it called 'Why life begins at 20' so I started off my week, scared sh*tless about my life! Brilliant. 

To be fair it was a really good article and made me think about what I was going to do with my life, and I know that I really have to start getting work placements sorted and get my life in order. 

That evening, I went out to the pub with two of my best friends and we chatted over fatty foods and of course we all had desserts! 

Tuesday I decided I would create a 'work schedule' for my weeks off uni. Look at me being all organised! - not that I've done a lot of it on there, I'm an amazing procrastinator, however I have transferred the images of mannequins to my mac, so it's a start on today, at 5pm...

Found this poem in my bedroom drawer the other day, I think I was in year 5, so I was 9, I think? 

I couldn't spell to save my life, I'm quite surprised my Dyslexia wasn't picked up earlier! (I was diagnosed with that and Dyspraxia this year, and yes I had to Google how to spell that) 

Wednesday I went into town with my boyfriend, to pick up some Bi-annual magazines for one of my units at Uni. I have to analysis them, and my gosh I didn't realise how many times I would see a woman's nether regions! Even 'Pop' which looks like a 'Tween' magazine has naked ladies everywhere.  But you know, it's fine. 

Then on Thursday I decided to do a bit of sketching - I haven't drawn since second year of college! 

I am planning on getting a tattoo on my inside forearm, of some roses because they are so pretty. So here is my attempt at it, I am getting the tattooist to neaten it up though. 

Friday I can't remember what I did, and Saturday and Sunday I was at work. Sunday being my Dad's birthday :) Happy Birthday Dad! 

Best photo I have of my Dad. :)

How have your week's been?

Just another week #2

Hi everyone, I know I'm being terrible with blogging at the moment, there's a lot of things going on at the moment, and it's taking my mind of everything including my uni work -which isn't ideal but it's the way it is. 

I have done some work today though which I'm happy about - yay, finally! I've also been looking at jobs on the web, about magazine page layouts, but not sure what ones are the right ones..need to talk to my lecturers when I have time. 

So this week, has been another busy one, with a trip to London to see an exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum and general scan of all the shop windows, for my VM unit at uni, on Tuesday. 

The exhibition was about the designers that made a lot of the Royal outfits in the 29th Century, which were mainly couture pieces. It was a good exhibition with two main rooms and was only £5 to get in with a student card, so that was good. 

Here is one of the wedding dresses from the exhibition, a gorgeous silk and organza wedding gown, with a silver corded lace bodice and appliqués. Designed by Norman Hartnell.

After the exhabition we were hungry, so we decided to find a resturant, on our way to Covent Garden we found a Zizzi's. I'd never been there before, and it was so good! 

We even managed to get a free glass of Prosecco! 

When the food came, I was starving. We had garlic bread to start which had cheese and caramelised onion on top, it was delicious. I also ordered a calzone, with chicken, meatballs and spices in, which was so good. 

We then went down oxford street, where I went into Selfridges for the first time! I know I couldn't believe I'd never been in there. I also managed to come out with something, from the MAC counter. I've never bought anything from MAC but I've always wanted to, so I bought my first ever eyebrow pencil, in Fling. It was only £12.50 and apparently lasts for ages, which is always a good sign. I'll do a review sometime next week, promise!

One of my cats, what a cutie!

My dog; Millie, then got jealous. 

I bought myself a desk from Argos (£39.99), on Wednesday because I was getting my Macbook delivered the next day. Eeeek!

My Macbook arrived! I love it, I finally have my own laptop and don't have to use my mum's to do my uni work! I can use it whenever I want which is brilliant. This gives me an extra incentive to get my uni work done! 

What have you been up to this week?
