#31

Journey essentials: Models Own 'Mushroom' and 'Juicy Jules': Uni life: Poppin bottles with my sisters: Obligatory advent calendar photo: Procrastination at its finest: Disso fuel: Cheesy: Xmas candle and green tea to make me feel better: Festive nails: Always rowdy: So unlike me to get sushi for lunch: More like me, Wahaca <3: Perfection: Cuddling baby girls

Oh hey! It's been a while hasn't it? I literally became so overwhelmed with uni work and other things that I pretty much had to forget blogging and blogs existed for a few weeks, so sad. I've handed in, presented and come home for christmas now though so I'm a much happier person and much more available to share my clothing and makeup loves with you for a while at least! Big question though ... is everyone feeling festive?

Christmas list

Fur coat: Topshop, Necklace: Zara, IPad case: Marc by Marc Jacobs via Selfridges, Watch: Casio via Urban Outfitters, Hat: Topshop, Perfume: Chloe, Lipstick and Nail Varnish: Illamasqua set via ASOS, Perfume: Stella McCartney

I've been pretty much bed bound for the last 5 days with a rubbish stomach virus so it's been a good opportunity to think about a brill christmas list for this year. I text my mum with all the many discount codes that were around this week (seriously, crazy amounts!) so I'm hoping one or two of these will be turning up under the tree! I bought my first presents today and it's a good feeling to start the shopping. I'm excited about christmas, but I'm not going to be on my usual level until I hand in on the 5th December! Will be drinking mulled wine and watching Home Alone that day for sure!

What's on your list?

Brill topknot: Winter dressing: Winter drinking: Some favourites: Sunday nights: Models Own Utopia and Ibiza Mix: Tea and cake: Babe: Models Own Thunder and Lightening: Food shopping <3: First christmas purchase: Love filters: Happy hangover: Great treats: Honeyz

Oh hey! Same old work/lack of camera excuse for the lack of posts recently, I've missed it a lot. This weekend has been a much better and heavier one than expected so tonight I'm chilling with 90210, candles and my new Origins face mask (and some dissertation work boooo). I'm looking forward to heading home this Wednesday for a little bit of work and some catching up with the family and probably the new Nandos at home. 

How was your weekend?

Gothic


Flats: Office, Heels: Office, Hat: American Apparel, Dress: Topshop, Tee: Topshop, Ring: Topshop, Blush: Nars 'Outlaw'

First of all, sorry! I haven't blogged in a while because it's all going on at the minute and final year is definitely full on. Anyone else doing their dissertation at the minute?! Nightmare. Anyway, I thought I'd compile a little wishlist as (hopefully) it's payday on Friday and my wardrobe is looking out for a little boost. I have a big birthday party to go to on Saturday so top of my list is a really nice pair of heels that I'm planning on seeing me through the rest of the 'party period' as well!

What's on your wishlist at the minute? I'm always up for some enabling!

Childish

All images can be found on my Tumblr here

Boohoo, no camera so I'm going to have to go with instagrams and found images for a little while I'm afraid. I'm at the beginning of a short 10 week fashion product project and my dissertation at the minute and both are children/youth based hence the slight childish theme. I love tumblr for organising my thoughts and inspirations at the beginning of projects! Please feel free to leave links to any of yours in the comments and I'll definitely check them out, perfect form of procrastination!

I just thought I'd take the opportunity for some final thoughts on my two weeks on Jenny Craig. I had hoped to do a better post with some more images but the burglary has kind of gotten in the way of all that and because I went home unexpectedly as a result I finished about a day and a half early, although I've made the effort to use up what I missed at the beginning of this week. I would save it for another time but it's probably best to do it while it's all fresh in my head. First of all I'm going to say how over the moon I was to find out that I lost around 5/6 lbs on the diet plan! For two weeks of pretty enjoyable food and never feeling hungry I think this is amazing! I would definitely recommend it to anyone that feels like they need to get out of some bad habits. While I can't afford to continue on the plan on my student budget, I have adopted the basic principles of the plan (such as small but regular meals and fruit with my breakfast and salad with my lunch) to incorporate my own foods and I'm hoping to carry on losing a few more lbs if I don't fall into dangerous uni habits of snacking on chocolate when I'm stressed! If you're intrigued check out their website here. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to try the diet and would definitely consider it again after uni as I was so impressed with how easy it was to stick to.
