End of.

I have finished my first year at Uni. Which is the FUCKING BEST. I have completed all my deadlines and right now I don’t care whether my grades are decent or not. I have tried my best and am glad it is over. Although I am not overjoyed about going back to Birmingham for various reasons at the end of this week I shall be going home for seven weeks (potentially). After this I will come back down Southampton before starting my internship at Ralph Lauren. I begin a six week placement working on their golf range over summer and I could not be happier about it. Its only over the past few days I have actually realised what a big deal it really is, now everything else is out of the way. After that I am hoping to go on holiday before my second year starts.

Although Uni is finished for the year the bills still need to be paid and most importantly, gin needs to be purchased. However I managed to buy myself a couple of things before I watch my money drain away over the summer.

Scented Nail Polishes– I know this makes me a child but I had to buy them. I have a sad fixation with everything that is scented that isn’t supposed to be scented. If I could still collect smelly gel pens at the age of twenty three without feeling completely ashamed of myself I would. And I am actually considering getting an iPhone just so I can purchase a Jelly Belly scented case. I hate iPhones so this is a huge deal.

Anyway these are from the Models Own Fruit Pastel Collection consisting of  Apple Pie, Banana Split, Strawberry Tart, Grape Juice and Blueberry Muffin.

ASOS Studded Jumper– I am clearly obsessed with jumpers now. In the space of a year I have gone from two to eight. I think this is my beginning of acceptance about our disastrous weather. Before I lived in denial and wore teeshirts and hoodies all year around. I hate the cold so it has to be done.

Vero Moda Stripe Slouch Tee– I had a teeshirt similar to this years ago. It disappeared somewhere so I felt I had to replace it. I loved it so much.

ASOS Petite Peg Leg trousers–  These are glorified joggers. I am ok with that. I wear trousers alot and most of the pairs I do own look like they belong to a set of pajamas.

River Island Embroided Dress– This is  pretty much as dressy as it gets for me.

New Shoes?

For someone who is interested in clothes and fashion, I do not spend much money on either clothes nor fashion. I usually plan to when I come into money but then Gin happens. However when I saw these shoes from Zara. I absolutely had to have them. Usually I won’t pay over £20 for an item of clothing because I am extremely fussy when it comes to fashion. I may love the colour but hate the cut, hate the colour but love the style, love the style but a logo/emblem ruins it. My being quite particular, can make it a huge nightmare for me to buy clothes I love.

These shoes are the exception  They are beautiful. The heel is a perfect height for  me, as I usually struggle so badly to walk in them. The style is simple, another plus for me and THE COLOUR. I want to eat this colour.

Ironically for someone who is studying a fashion degree, I rarely write about fashion. However these shoes need to be addressed…

Zara is completely over rated when it comes to the British high street and it seems every time I go shopping I always over look Zara when I know I will always find something I like when I visit.

Here are a selection of items from Zara’s Spring/Summer collection I  hope to be purchasing.

Zara; Printed Trousers; £29.99

 

Zara; Striped Blouse; £39.99

 

 

Zara; V-Neck Tee; £22.99

 

 

 

Happy New Year.

So this year hasn’t been the best but after last year there has been a slight improvement. I am looking forward to 2013 because of how bad I have found the later end of 2012. Moving away from home has been a much less pleasant experience than I had hoped. The grass isn’t always greener apparently.

I am looking forward to going home, spending time with my family, getting drunk with friends and preparing for the year yet to come. Like diets, I never stick to my New Year Resolutions but this year it is important that I do.

1) I need to start enjoying Southampton.

2) Stay on top of my work and maintain a job

3) Get on the Davina, as much as I resent her face of pure fucking joy as she finishes her 400th squat, whilst I am melting.

4) Get healthy; if it smells good I am not allowed to eat it. End of.

5) Go to more places. I am either in Southampton or Birmingham. I need to change that up.

6) Save… Vile, but it has to be done.

There is probably more shit I need to do but it’ll come later…
