January 14

This month has been pretty hectic for me. After working most of the christmas holidays and not getting a lot of time at home, uni started again pretty quickly. I turned 21 at the start of the month which was such a lovely day. I went away for a bit to get away from uni, I felt like I was stuck there for so long! I did some well deserved retail therapy with my birthday money and relaxed. I also got a new phone which I have been loving using. My Instagram photo quality has drastically improved! The later part of January has been filled with finishing my dissertation which has been so tedious and long. Writing isn't my strong point so I struggled a lot with it. thankfully its done and completed which is such a relief. Now its onto my last project for the year then uni is done! 3 more months then I'm off into the big world. Obviously after my holiday to Portugal which is only 115 days away, not that I'm counting down or anything. Its my big motivation for finishing everything.

What have you been doing this month?

What I got for Christmas 2013

Happy New Year! Sorry I have been away from the whole blogging world recently. With Uni work and my job, I really haven't had time to blog about anything. Ive also not had anything interesting to blog about!

Start January, I will have more to blog about and will get back into the swing of things. Plus I have a lot of exciting things happening so plenty of OOTD posts will be up! I thought a good first post back of 2014 should be a "what I got for Christmas" post. Obviously this is not me trying to 'show off' or brag at all about what I have received this year. I am so super grateful and lucky to have been spoiled rotten this year! Plus I love reading these posts.

Firstly I got my trusty Lea Stafford hair growth products, I swear by these and they have really helped with my hair growing out. I also got some Gilly Hicks pj shorts which I have lived in since I got them, I love the tartan pink combo and the cute little bow! Getting Converse was such a surprise for me as I have always wanted them yet been too scared to buy the pink ones, I cant wait to wear these for sumer with little dresses and shorts.

I already have this Newlook jumper in pink as was so happy to receive it in this gorgeous baby blue colour, It matches perfectly with my new zara scarf! I love it so so much, even though my dad thought it was a blanket to start! Its so warm and cosy to wear. Another zara present was my mini office bag in burgundy. I have not stopped using this since Christmas, its just the perfect size for me.

Also from newlook I got this beautiful statement necklace which also matches the jumper really well, I cant wait to wear this on nights out or just to sparkle up an outfit. I was so happy and grateful to receive these next 2 gifts. I told my mum I really wanted the Lancome star mascara and she got it for me in a gift set with eyeliner and Bi-Facil makeup remover. I really love it so far and it makes my eyelashes look amazing! I also got the Enrapture jumbo waver which I really like using to make my pony tail more voluminous.

These last 2 presents were from my boyfriend. As my birthday is in a few weeks (I can't believe i'm going to be 21!) He decided to join the 2 together. I firstly got this gorgeous Swarovski necklace which I've had my eye on all year. My main present from him was this 2014 diary with unicorns on, he told me to flick through to June - A holiday to Portugal was written in! I am so lucky I cant wait to be relaxing on the beach in a few months time! 

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a safe New Year! 

I can't wait for what 2014 has in store.

What did you all get for Christmas? 

FCUK DRESS

As I said in my last post - My family went for a meal out to celebrate my Sisters 16th Birthday. As I wasn't there for the actual day (stupid uni) we decided to do something special all together. We went for a lovely meal out and ate some lush food. It was such nice weather during the day so I opted for something summery. 

I bought this dress on sale from the lovely Dolly Bow Bow's fashion site - Fashionate. On here she is selling her preloved clothes. This FCUK was brand new with tags at such a bargain - £40 instead of £110! I think its going to be my prfect dress for summer. I have been able to wear it casually with sandals and more dressed up with heels. I have a 21st birthday party which I think this is going to be perfect for. I love the pattern and the fit is so flattering. 

| Dress FCUK Fashionate £40 | Jacket Primark £16 | Sandals Newlook £13 | 

| Bag Primark £4 | Ring Pandora £40 (Thank you boyfriend!!) |

Have you found your perfect summer dress yet?

20 FACTS ABOUT ME

Ive seen a lot of "Get To Know Me" posts and seeing as its my blogs 1st Birthday (WOW!), I thought I should do a post that would let you know me more! Ive only done 20 facts because I dont think theres 50 things I could tell you about myself!

If you've done a fact post please give me the link, Id love to get to know you all better!

DISCO PANTS OOTD

A got a late Birthday present which were my AMAZING disco pants. I know everyone have the real ones and the fake ones, but I love mine so much! I was lucky enough to get the American Apparel ones and I love them. I love the colour, the style, the fit, the everything!

I wore them with my new Topshop jumper (£18) which I bought with a birthday voucher and my Topshop leopard print flats which were in the sale for £10.

Overall I think this is a really simple comfy outfit that I wear for uni and going shopping. 

Im finished with uni until monday now when I start the next term so I will be doing some blogging in the meantime. 

Hope you're all having a lovely week

20TH BIRTHDAY

It was my Birthday on Tuesday and I am no longer a teenager. I suddenly feel really old which is strange. I got back to uni the day before and had a really nice meal out. On my actual birthday I received some lovely presents of my friends and family. My particular favourite this year were my 2nd pair of Uggs (good job mum!)

In the evening me and my friends went out and I wore my new sparkly dress. I got in before Christmas from Bank. I love the colour and fit of it and felt like a princess all night. 

The dress I wore for the meal out was from Topshop. I absolutely love the colour and style of it!

Now I guess I have to knuckle down and start my next term of uni...

Thank you everyone who made my Birthday so special!

WISH LIST 2013

This is going to be my 1st wish list of 2013. These few things are items that I have wanted for a while now and hopefully as its my Birthday on the 8th, I might get some of them - The mulberry is being a tad optimistic!!

I think disco pants are a must for anyones wardrobe. I just love the feel of them and the versatility of them. These boots are so amazing, they are such a good twist on the classic boot. the colour of them could easily make a simple outfit pop! Finally, I have been feeling that something is missing in my life and unfortunately (or fortunately?) I think its a onesie. This one looks so cosy yet stylish and a bargain for the price!

Im going back to Uni in a few days for the next term and my birthday! Im so excited to be going out with all my friends again and I'm sure they will be a few OOTD post to follow. 

Ive had a slight blog redesign, just a few tweaks here and there, I think it looks quite classy at the moment - let me know what you think!

BIRTHDAY OUTFITS

Its my 20th Birthday a few weeks after Christmas and I'm on the hunt for the perfect outfit. Obviously I would like something that is special but something that wont just sit at the back of my wardrobe never to be worn again. I think you can never go wrong with black and gold just adds a bit of sparkle!
Here is 2 outfits I picked out. Both dresses are from Topshop and the shoes from Schuh and Newlook.

I love this playsuit from Topshop, I love velvet and the chiffon sleeves. The cut out back adds a touch of glamour to the outfit and the shoes are amazing! I'm absolutely in love with them! In the 2nd outfit I love the style and cut of this dress, the sparkles are amazing! The shoes are a winner as they're wedges, you can never go wrong with this style but I like the detail on the heel.    

Which outfit do you prefer? 

lots of love
