It's the first of two work Christmas nights out and the only one where we don't have to get ready at the office. Naturally, I took this as an excuse to get dressed up!
Galaxy Print Skirt - £14.99 H&M
Peplum Top - £5.00 Primark
I'm going to be pairing this with my Chelsea style ankle boots and studded clutch bag (Primark).

I've been absent for a long, LONG time.
Lacking both time and inspiration for blogging, I decided to have a break. I had my finals at uni, graduation, wireless festival, moving house, friends leaving, my holiday, working full time and I split up with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago.
So my time was constantly spent doing something; I ran myself into the ground having too muchJodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172641740985415876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996239261667999508.post-17708772140639793082012-07-05T21:58:00.001+01:002012-07-05T21:58:45.712+01:00Broadway Impress Press on Manicure - Review
I'm not normally a false nail kind of girl. Having tried numerous brands over the years, struggling to find the perfect style and fit. I have odd nails - some are square, some are rounder and I don't like to have overly long nails as I work in an office so I struggle to find a good product.
I was hoping that these Broadway nails would be my saviour ~ alas, they were not but they weren't far Jodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172641740985415876noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996239261667999508.post-23091942020829899342012-06-23T14:31:00.002+01:002012-06-23T14:31:51.467+01:00My Jubilee WeekendThis post is long overdue. Especially taking into consideration how long has passed since the Jubilee weekend! It feels like only yesterday to me but it has in fact been almost 3 weeks.
I actually think this weekend was one of the best of my entire life.
My boyfriend (Jim) and I were lucky enough to win tickets to the Jubilee Concert that took place in front of Buckingham Palace and organised Jodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172641740985415876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996239261667999508.post-18925426963036594382012-06-18T19:00:00.000+01:002012-06-18T19:00:08.749+01:00Haul: Primark!
Yes, this is yet another Primark haul. But as I explained to my boyfriend whilst dragging him round today... you have to go there so often because their stock turnaround is so quick! If I didn't grab the stuff I liked straight away then it would just go. Seize the day! Ahem..

It has been a while since I've had a proper look around H&M. I bought a skirt a couple of weeks ago but never really had a good look round. A couple of years ago I used to buy ALL my stuff from H&M; having gotten bored of Primarni, I went on the hunt for a reasonably priced store to buy both basics and pretty must-haves. I didn't end up buying much today as I wasn't overly impressed but Jodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172641740985415876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996239261667999508.post-34697473844542492042012-05-28T13:22:00.001+01:002012-05-28T13:22:11.780+01:00Helloooo!
I have now finished uni - wahoo!
And moved house - wahoo!
Unfortunately that means I lack the internet right now :-( It is due to be installed next Saturday - which cannot come quick enough!
I have several posts I am ready to write as soon as I get the chance. I may take my computer to my boyfriends one night this week to do it...
Anyway, I have enjoyed reading the blogs Jodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07172641740985415876noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8996239261667999508.post-37256034788689358152012-05-19T21:12:00.000+01:002012-05-19T21:12:36.643+01:00OOTN & FOTN: Goodbye My Friend!
This outfit and face of the night I believe is my first ever - wahoo! So go easy on me ;-) I'm not as stylish as others nor am I the best at make up but I try.
I actually wore this look last Saturday night but I completely forgot I took photos of it before I went out!

My Mum bought me it for my 21st birthday as a part of my present and I absolutely love it. I was never sure as to whether I wanted one or not because I'm a huge book lover and going round charity shops and book fairs has always been a hobby of mine. But I have no regrets!

Since getting my iPhone last July, I have developed a serious addiction to buying iPhone cases. Admittedly, I have never spent more than a few pounds on one, but still. I am 21, it is a bit ridiculous right?
Nevertheless, a new one arrived in the post this morning. Just in time to cheer me up from my essay depression.
This is a 3D melting ice-cream hard iPhone cover:

At present I have around 160 items being watched on eBay. I say "around" as there are more on my wish list that eBay wouldn't let me watch (the first sign you are addicted to eBay).
The majority of these are items I've found via VIPXO's regular eBay hunts. She is like the eBay guru!

What make-up, nail, skin, hair, whatever products do I NEED in my life?
I'm looking for new products to try out as I haven't bought anything like this for a while now and I've probably missed out on some really amazing things.

This week has been super hectic! As has the last few months really. I honestly don't know where my life has gone just lately. Everything is flying by. It feels like only yesterday I was starting this semester at university and now I only have 18 days until I finish! Crazy.
I am super excited to finish university.

It's annoying and upsetting that I just don't have the time to sit down and take pictures/review things/write posts. I really do miss blogging.
I finish university in 24 days!! So scary and exciting.
I also move into my own cute little flat in like.. either less than 24 days or 24 days.

Where have I been?
Well. University has well and truly taken over my life. I had my half dissertation to hand in on the 21st of March and since then have had 4 other essays to finish as well as a website to build.

Having made new years resolutions at the beginning of January and - bang on schedule - given them up a week later, I decided that perhaps it would be easier to make monthly goals for myself.
It hasn't worked out well so far.
Here are a few of my goals for March that I hope to achieve.

Anything to get out of writing my dissertation!
FYI my fingers look really shiny throughout because I use a quick dry spray (from Avon) that's really oily and gross! Also, I suck at painting nails lol.

I've - once again - gone on a diet. I'm going on holiday with my boyfriend in September and I really want to be in the best shape ever when I hit the beautiful Turkish beaches! Not only that, I reckon we will end up going on loads of adventures whilst there and I want to be able to last the day without tiring.

I'm at the ripe old age of 21 now (yikes!) and graduate from university in like....5 months. Scary. I'm quite sad to be leaving as well as I've always enjoyed being in education and really don't want it to end!

Anyone that knows me will know how much I adore Primark. When I was growing up it was seen as a cheap store that sold crap clothes and if you wore anything from there, you tried not to mention it. Nowadays, I see Primark as an amazing place to shop - especially if you don't have a lot of spare cash. People still knock it and it still has quite a poor reputation but I love it.

Being in my third year of university means one thing - it's interview time. Whether you're going to be moving onto further education through the form of a postgraduate course or going into full time employment, you're going to have to attend an interview.
For many people this can be a frightening and nerve wracking time.
