the morning after the night before

cardigan: stolen off mam

scarf: asda, literally years old

top: boohoo, actually a dress

skirt: h&m

not sure if you can see my nail varnish but it's rimmel funtime fuschia. 

Hello there, happy Saturday! Anyone else hungover? Blergh. Feel ridiculously rough today so got dressed and put make-up on to disguise it ha. There's a paint party at my student union tonight but I'm trying to avoid it, mainly because I'm too protective over all of my clothes to allow any to be damaged by paint but also because I'm going to be a good student and read the book I was supposed to have read last week damn it. What've you got planned for tonight?

Bought the 30 day shred this week. Feel like I've put on so much weight since being at uni! I'm thinking do it now, then do it just after the Christmas holidays and I should stay round about the size I want to be :). Anyone done the 30 day shred? What's it like? Any advice? I'm actually a bit nervous for some strange reason!

Also, was set my next assignment this week. Read the questions and DON'T  UNDERSTAND A THING AH. Definitely not cut out for the work part of uni!

P.S. in case you can't tell, the camera caught me off guard haha.

paler than pale

Top: H&M

Shorts: Asos

Shoes: Next

Hello again! Hope everyone's good. Wore this out last night, here's a link to the shorts. They're a lot nicer in real life but the camera didn't quite capture their beauty, sad face. 

As you can probably guess, I've decided to give up fake tan. Not that I wear it much anyway, but I used to feel horribly pale on nights out when other girls had lovely golden tans and I was like a ghost. But now I'm embracing my paleness. I'm hoping with enough TLC, I can get lovely porcelain skin like Zooey Deschanel or someone. It's unlikely, but still. Do you wear fake tan much? 

I'm off home for a week tomorrow. Not sure whether to be excited or to be dreading it! It'll be amazing to spend so much time with my family & certain friends, but I'm going to miss everyone at uni so much! It's weird how attached I am already. I also have two infections at the moment, mehhh. One of my fingers is swollen so I'm on antibiotics for that, and then I have a skin infection so I have steroid cream for that. Suppose it's good that I get a week away from alcohol and university to recover though ha. 

Hope you're all OK!x

two posts in two days!

Jumper: Asos

Chinos: Male section of Primark

Bag: Primark 

Posting again, what has gotten into me?! Anyway, wore this for an emergency trip to McDonald's to cure a hangover the other day haha. I adore this outfit, think it's just the way the colours compliment each other. Also wore one of my pairs of brogues with this but sadly I haven't figured out a way to take full length pictures in my new room yet. I'll figure it out soon though!

I'm trying to stay in and do work like a good little student but it's just not turning out as planned haha. Decided now that I'm allowed to read one blog post for every act of Titus Andronicus that I read, and then for every chapter of my other books that I read. Oh, life..

What's everyone up to this week?

Any website recommendations for an incredibly bored person in dire need of new procrastination methods?

hi hi hi

Hat: not sure, ages old.

Jumper: H&M

Shorts: Dorothy Perkins

Bag: Primark

Nails: CG For Audrey

Hello there you bunch of strangers! How is everyone? Hope you're all good.

Wore this to nip to the shops the other day. It wasn't really cold enough to warrant wearing a hat but it looked like it may start raining & I couldn't find my umbrella haha.

What did everyone do for Halloween? Halloween is quite a big deal where I live at the moment so the weekend was insane! I dressed up as Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's) on the one night. I was going to go as a vampire version of her to make it a big more creepy but someone else didn't have a costume so I donated my vampire accessories. Then my block had a block party on actual Halloween and I dressed up as a mime for that. Really wanted to dress as a Rubik's cube but couldn't find the right sized box :(.

P.S - Happy Bonfire Night for tomorrow :)

bloggy blog

So I'm hoping this is my return to the "blogging world" for good! Freshers was just a bit insane (I didn't go to sleep before 4am once) and this week I've had a few lectures/seminars and then just been with my friends all the time. Anyway, I have a review for you!

I'm not sure where else this is sold but I got mine from Superdrug. There is a Boots in Aberystwyth but I've never found it on purpose, I always just sort of stumble past it on a night out or after a trip to the beach hah. But the Superdrug is on the main road through town so it's a lot easier to find. It cost £1.99 and it smells absolutely divine, it really is like rubbing yourself in strawberry milkshake!

I'm not sure whether it actually did anything good for my skin, but it didn't irritate it at all. For £1.99, I may be willing to use it purely for the smell. I've been getting a lot more into shower gels lately since I have no bath here, booooo.

The one thing I didn't like about the product is the grammar on the bottle. It really is bad. I know mine isn't exactly perfect but I do this for fun, this isn't on something that people are going to buy!

Anyway, a little update on my life for you now! I'm singleee. It's no big deal really and I'm not that bothered, I just didn't think it was fair on either of us to stay together when we'd probably be happier and have more fun if we finished. I LOVE my flatmates, though there is one girl I'm not sure of and one boy who does nothing for the flat (like he doesn't cook or clean). My lectures and everything are going OK but I suppose it's early days yet. Basically, though, I'm insanely happy!

universityyy!

Hello! I've been quite busy over the last few days so have SO many blogs to catch up on! So I got to uni yesterday, eeeeeek. It hasn't been anywhere as bad as I expected haha. My dad got a big car from work so I drove up with my parents & brother, then they stayed in a hotel nearby overnight. It was a bit of a shock when I got here as I ticked the box for single sex accommodation, and the first person I met was a boy ha! So it turns out I'm living with two other girls and five boys, luckily everyone's really nice! Five of us went out last night and tackled the big hill down to hill and back up, you should see my feet now - blisters everywhere! Wasn't fussed on my bedroom when I first saw it, but now I've unpacked all my stuff it just seems like home. I've been calling it home already, how weird.

Not sure what we'll be doing tonight, we're thinking either bond over alcohol in the flat or go on a pub crawl or something. Seriously don't know how I'm going to survive freshers week, it's hard work! Posting may be a bit sporadic as I'm never normally this busy hah. This is a bit of a pointless post really but I just felt like updating you all, well done to anyone that actually bothered reading it!

How's everyone else finding university? 

What was your university experience like?

prison clothes

top: asos

skirt: boohoo

tights: idk.

The clothes I wore today. Didn't even go anywhere but I just had one of those days when you fancy getting dressed. Always feel a bit nervous about wearing black and white stripy clothes since people could make jokes referring to prison clothes hah.

Forget how much I like this skirt; had it absolutely ages but only worn it like twice. Must remember to wear it more often! Anyone else have something like that? That you rarely wear but actually looks rather nice on you. 

Watching the episode of Eastenders from earlier on at the moment, very emotional! Poor Jody :(
