Bedroom tour #3

I haven't got much to blog about at the moment, as I keep saying i have exams!! So I'm going to carry on with another bedroom tour post as people seem to be liking these :) this week it's my shelves. There used to be more of my cute reading books on there like my Audrey Hepburn and Bobbi Brown girly books but until exams and revision are done my study books have replaced them :(


below: L-R: lots of jewellery on display and more in the little box and the armchair jewellery box; Spaceman postcard as inspiration, photobooth photo of me and my sister at a wedding, and an image of Audrey Hepburn, these pictures make me smile:) ; Study books boo :( ; some framed photos of me and friends (the furthest on the right is my besty besty pal who I've known since the womb!) and one of me plus the fam when I was young and finally a little one of me from my first horse riding lesson! I miss horse riding and the stables so much!

I'd love to hear what you think of these posts? And if you've done something similar please link it to me in your comment 'cos I love reading these posts - I'm sucha nosy blogger!

OOTD: Discos


Crop fluffy jumper - New Look similar here
Disco Pants - Glamourous@ Republic similar here
Shoes - New Look (sale) similar here

Wore this out last weekend to London for my friends' birthday. Everyone else was all dressed up in pretty dresses when i got there which made me realise I have very few dresses and none that are nice/simple enough to wear out which is a bit of a problem, what with my parent's party to celebrate me turning 18 (yes my parent's party... fffsss) I had to buy one for it ;) You can see it here. It's so nice and flattering on me I want to buy it in every colour! Sorry for short post but my exams start v.soon so might be posting even less soon :( can't wait until they are out of the way! Good luck to everyone else who has exams :)

Bedroom tour #2

Took a while but here's tour number two! My windowsill! I have three collections sitting on it; my basket full of nail varnish and nail stuff, rubber duck collection and my CD collection. I would love to get some perspex storage for my nail polish but for now I'm sticking with this while I have too much on my mind to think of much else. I know, collecting ducks is weird but I have memories and people attached to them all.... it's still weird...




My CD player/casette player/radio I've had since I was two. It's old and bulky but it works perfectly and I love it :) as for my CDs I'm one of those people who prefers a proper CD to a download so I still buy loads and albums of artists that I love. This isn't all the CDs I own, just the ones I mostly listen to. Although I hardly even listen to these anymore, I've got too much work to do *sadface*

I hope you like this kind of posts, let me know what you think and if you've done something similar please leave a link in the comments :)

My Weekend

I have literally had the best weekend ever and I don't want it to end! If only my exams were over already!
I went out with some friends to celebrate two friends' birthday (twins!) on Saturday night. We spent the evening drinking pimms at The Anchor, sitting outside by the Thames and then eating amazing greek food and drinking lots of wine at The Real Greek. Super lovely night :)
I spent most of sunday with the boyfriend; we were going to go see Iron Man 3 (aaaahh!!) but it was too nice and sunny so we had lunch instead in my home town. He took me to a cute little cafe I'd never been to before and they did grilled salmon with chips and steamed vegetables. It was super cheap and had such a great menu, even for pescetarians/really picky eaters like me ;)
Today I mostly studied outside and had the piggies out in their run all day, they were being so cute and funny! And to round up this weekend we had a yummy barbecue!










So that was my weekend; a really great one! What did you do over the bank holiday weekend? How did you enjoy the nice weather? (If you had it!)

Papa East

I was sent some really cute jewellery from a cute brand called Papa East which I hadn't heard of before but I'm so glad I have now! For really decent prices you can get such cute jewellery that is good quality. You can also buy clothes, phone cases and stationery from them, all of which is super cute too! I love the cc "fuck" sweater and cc fake sweater soo much! So tempted to order but I'm trying to save at the moment and I'm determined to not start up my bad spending habit again! If I did I would splurge way too much in this store.

Have a look at the pieces I received from them; a cool eagle necklace, a cross bracelet and a claw and a 'tache ring! All of which I have been wearing non-stop for the past two weeks!

Happy List #2


- Super sunshiney days :)

- Chinese with the fam, was so nice to spend time with them :)

- The boyfriend has moved house meaning he is now almost an hour away from me booo :( but he is right next to the south downs and Brighton which is fab! He packed a picnic for us and we trekked up the downs and found a really nice place to sit and eat and the views are stunning. Next time we walk up there I'll be sure to bring my camera!

- Fried bread for breakfast...mmmmm yummmyyyyy!

- Birthdays; it's been so many of my friends' birthdays the last months or so, with more coming up (including mine!) and one friend made the twins the most beautiful, delish cakes in the shape of buildings with the names of the unis they wanted to go to with a path between the two!! And they were taken to London for afternoon tea and they brought us back some mini cakes which was so lovely of them :)

- The generosity of my friends. As I said, lots of birthdays, and instead of everyone giving one present we all contribute money to get one really great present. For the twins we got them cambridge satchels :)

- Sunny evenings in the garden with a glass of wine gossiping with my mammy

- Fried egg and chips

I know I'm not posting regularly and I have different themed posts which I'm trying to do regularly but 'fraid A Levels make it difficult to work around. Can't wait until they're done!

What little things in life are making you smile at the moment?

OOTD: Hard Rock

Hello :) I haven't done an outfit post in months!! Bad blogger alert! I always feel like I don't wear interesting enough stuff to share it but I guess it's better to show the real you, right? So this is the kind of lazy thing I wear every weekend:


Locket - A present from the boyfriend
Hard Rock tee - Hard Rock cafe, Orlando
Super high waisted skinny jeans - Topshop
Converse

 First of all I apologise for my miserable face in this! Didn't realised I looked quite so downhearted...
I just wore this round at the boyfriend's this weekend, we were only hanging out at his, watched a film, so there was no need to wear anything nicer than jeans and a tee.
Freaking love these joni jeans! I know, everyone has them so they're not interesting at all but my stars they are the comfiest things I have ever put on my legs ever! I want them in every colour!
