Wish List ... Topshop

I've been teasing myself again. Never a good idea, I get bored and then think, I know I'll have a quick browse on some websites, then I see about a million and one things that I want, and I get all depressed because I cant afford any of it. I was especially enjoying looking at Topshop's new in store collection.

It always make me laugh because I never think that I really have a particular style or specific types of things that I like but then after putting this collection of my Topshop favourites together I looked at it and thought, wow, there's a lot of baby pinks, light blues and navy's there. With the exception of the coral backpack. I'm also a big fan of monochrome things, but I always have been. I completely fell in love with the playsuit and the shorts and then I saw the peace top and thought I would look so effortless teamed with some black leggings and a baggy cardigan (you know how much I love my leggings and cardy's)

Did you notice the little navy bird top. I literally adore that, it's so good for summer. Birds are my thing after all aren't they.

Ladies of Luxury.

Spa day ... This was something that I had been meaning to blog about for a while, but I've just never got round to it. This was officially one of the best days of my life. And I didn't have to spend a penny.

Eden Hall Day Spa - Nottingham. Absolutely beautiful spa, if you get an opportunity to go then you must. It's amazing.

Me and my roomie Bekkah went for Bekkah's 21st birthday. Her bf paid for it all so we just went and acted like ladies of luxury for the day. Although, I did feel like I stuck out like a bit of a sore thumb. I'm from Manchester, so I have a pretty northern accent, I grew up with my mum and dad in a tiny little two bedroom house and I have never experienced anything like this place before.

I was walking round with an astounded look on my face whilst posh couple after posh couple walked past me looking at me like I had walked into the wrong building. 

Ah well. I'm not a posh bugger, who thinks I'm too good for everyone.
But it was still amazing, I had the most glorious back massage, with a beautiful lavender oil. At one point I thought I was going to fall asleep on the bed. Which wouldn't have exactly been the best thing to do. 

I literally could have spent the whole day in the outdoor jacuzzi. We got there at half eight in the morning and didn't leave till six in the evening. Though we didn't get bored once, just spent the entire day gossiping and soaking up the luxurious atmosphere.

I really do need to win the lottery so I can go back. 

Gossip of the Week

So it's Saturday night, I've had a splendid evening which incorporated my favourite takeaway, The Voice, Britain's Got Talent, Take Me Out, Coffee and chocolate cake ... great night in right. Ok, maybe it's just me that thinks so but I'm a happy bunny. I've decided I'm gonna start doing a sort of weekly roundup. Kinda I've what I've been up to this week sort of post ... you can tell me whether you like it or not. Some weeks will be utterly boring and others maybe slightly more exciting. 

BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK ... I started blogging again haha. Not that this isn't obvious enough, but it's big news, right? Slight problem though, I've come home for Easter and I've left my camera back at my flat so you'll have to wait a week or two for outfit shots. I'm sorry, they will be coming though. I'm such a ditzy woman. I usually can't cope without my camera.

Most of my week has been spent babysitting, I'm such a cool lady, not getting any money for it either, but I have had the giggles the whole time.
Other than that I have shopped, a hell of a lot. Spent to much money as standard, who needs food when you have nice clothes right. I think I've spent most of my money in Accessorize though. I'm such a jewellery and handbagaholic.

It's my mums birthday on Tuesday so I've been shopping for that too. See it wasn't an entirely selfish shopping trip. Though primarily selfish.

Uni work has also been the bane of my life this week ... I don't even want to go into it ... Essays = Ewwwww.  

In terms of weekly reads and songs ...

I'm reading two books at the moment, Game Of Thrones by George R.R. Martin and Intimacy by Hanif Kureishi. I recommend both but they are completely different. 

For music I have been totally and utterly addicted to Lissie, Birdy and Diane Birch. 

What have all you lovely's been up to this week? 

They're Telling Our Story On The Radio.

I'm back on the scene people. 

I know it's been a long time, seven months to be precise, and I know that I kinda just dropped of the face off the earth without any explanation, which I can only apologise for. But yeah here I am. 

I'm not going to go into details about why I had to take some time out from all of this but for those of you that followed me before and stuck by me, you will know that around the time that I stopped blogging I was going through a difficult time. I was hit with an extremely large dose of bad luck and it was a rough patch for me so in all honesty, as clichéd as it sounds I really just needed some time to find myself again. 

Now just felt like the right time to come back. 

I wish I could start reeling off all the amazing new things that are happening in my life now but I really can't. Saddo.com. Nahhh, only kidding. So I'm coming to the end of my second year at uni, I'm a busy little bee with all that at the moment. No relationship advancements to speak of, no work advancements to speak of. Its just me. Don't mind it that way to be honest.
Over the past seven months I've really come to realise who my true friends are ... rather than trying to please everyone I've been focusing in on people who are really special to me. 

I've had some pretty hilarious drunken nights out where I have done some super super stupid things, and I've also had some absolutely amazing nights in. Duvets, sofa's and chocolate with my roomies. I think that's my favourite way to spend my time.
I've literally never giggled so much in my life as I have recently. 

Things are looking up.
Please let me know how are you are and what you've been up too.
Might sound cheesy, but I've missed you guys.

L.O.V.E

These are the cover photos for the latest addition of Love Magazine, and with no pun intended, I absolutely love them. When I went out to my local WHSmiths to buy my copy I was in there for so bloody long umming and arring over which cover to go for ... it obviously being an extremely important decision as this magazine is seriously overpriced at a whopping £6, might as well be getting a book. But in the end I punted for the Elle Fanning cover, in case your interested I have put the covers in my order of preference on this post so sorry girlies but for me its Elle, Chloe, Lara and then Hailee. Their all gorgeous of course though. 

What does anyone else think, let me know which is your fave !!! 

Blustery Day On The British Coast

This was one of those mornings when spontaneity hits and I ended up having to jump out of bed and get ready in as little as ten minutes. Not an easy thing to do when your hair is often as crazy and wilful as my own. Hence the reason why it is chucked up in a top knot, can't look perfectly groomed at all times. Ended up having a really nice day as well as it happens, took my pooch Thistle to the beach along with mum and dad. I love it when we go to Formby, its the perfect place to spend a summers day, they having every thing. A huge lovely beach, miles of impossible sand dunes and a forest that goes on forever, we've gotten lost like every time we've been, but its glorious watching all the little rabbits hop about everywhere.

So so cute.

I snapped the photo below of my little doggie when he was in a wild rampage rolling around in the sand, I know he looks like a mental case. You can trust me when I say that he's not savage at all and he wouldn't hurt a fly, he's actually a total wimp. Although he did bite my bum when I was pretending to beat my dad up. I'm not a savage either, Promise.

Any way, not an exciting outfit, or look.

But as I said, for a 10 minute get ready session, it's not too bad. No Makeup though ... EEK!

Its All In The Wrist

I finally got my bowler hat! Exciting time in my life indeed, I know I know, this is slightly o.t.t but i've wanted a bowler hat for so long now, and i've never found one that didn't either smell funny or cost an utter fortune. But today my best friend H&M broke through for me and gave me this little beauty of a hat for a minuscule £7.99. Couldn't say no to that now could I.

Had quite a nice day today, went shopping to town with my lovely mumsy. We're both skint at the moment so we couldn't really afford to go wild, just got some lunch, bought a few books, I accidently got rid of my copy of Pride and Prejudice so I re bought that and then got two other books as well. Also got some new earings, the ones i'm wearing in the photos above, absolutely love them, gonna become one of my favourites I think. Other than that I just bought some new moisturiser. Not exciting, I chose the Neutrogena visibly clear, oil-free moisturiser, i'll be sure to let you know how it is.

I think I might be going to the cinema tonight to see the new Inbetweeners movie, not sure yet, my friend is getting her hair cut at 4 so it depends what time she gets out whether we go or not.

Also depends on whether i've not got too comfy with my book.

This is a very heavily accessories related post, I'm big on accessories. Shoes, bags, jewellery, I love it. I'm pretty famous with all my friends for my accessory collection, if they ever need some earings, or a necklace to wear i'm their go to girl, they know that i'm bound to have something that'll go with it.

Anyway I thought I would give you a snippet of what's going on, on my wrist. I love quite minimal bracelets I usually either just have my pandora on or a little collection of quirky little bands and so on.

In the picture below are my favourites of the moment.

I also have an obsession with vintage Casio digital watches, this is my simple classic one, but the blue Casio is probably my favourite at the moment.

Hope you like.
