Blogging Day

Yeah, i am re-naming Boxing Day!

Just thought i'd share a few Christmas pictures, i sparsely documented my day with Instagram which i have become re-addicted to of late, i think it might be the ease of using it when there is a high speed wireless Internet connection (something my Uni, sadly, does not offer!).

I was extremely lucky to get the most amazing set of pressies this year! Everything from a LUSH gift card to beautiful quilted blanket and of course enough edibles to feed me for the rest of winter :)

I hope everyone else had an amazing day or if you're yet to celebrate then i hope it goes well! I ended up drinking a jug of rum, lime and lemonade, covering myself in glitter and flowers and raving it up with my cousin before calming down and watching the Inbetweeners Movie - Genius!

Dans Ma Chambre

Making sure my room looked and felt home-y and comfortable to be in was my number one priority when i moved to uni. My room at home is my sanctuary and i wanted my space here to be the same. These are a few photos i took yesterday morning when the lovely (albeit a bit late) sunshine was streaming in through my window.
From top to bottom:
Hand carved and hand painted wooden owl (with books behind)
Buddha and my crystals
Some English Civil War Propaganda i made, the frame was originally grey!
Bears, Books and a Bottle of Rum
a pin board that showcases art by the likes of Banksy, Duane Bryers, Me and a 5 year old i babysit.

Bird, Flowers, Sunglasses

Día de los Muertos figurines & make-up
Tea and a re-used soup can (high five for recycling)

Retail Therapy

Some purchases from Saturday; the day i burned a phat hole in my wallet (note use of the word "some" this is about half of what i bought)

 SKIRT & SHOES - NEW LOOK

 TOP & BELT - TOPSHOP

HAT - H&M

RING - EVANS

Said i would do a post on what i bought! I'd actually pretty much forgotten that i'd taken these pictures until i read Steph's post on her recent buys so yeah, thanks for reminding me Stephanie!

Everything pictured here (apart from the hat) was bought on sale, so i got plenty for my money! I hadn't had a good long real life shop in ages so that was pretty dang fine but it didn't half make me remember how much i hate town on Saturdays, so busy! I'm usually a bit of a lone wolf when it comes to shopping, i head in on a weekday afternoon for a couple hours, i buzz round really quickly and i leave happy : )

One other thing i bought on Saturday was Directions Hair Dye in Lilac so as of yesterday afternoon my ombre is now purple:

What do you guys think?
Also, if you've scored any amazing bargains, please tell all : )

OOTD: 60's Snow Fun

It snowed yesterday and i was sure it'd be gone by this morning but i opened my curtains at 8:30AM to a blanket and a blizzard of snow.
Lush!

I popped and did more crimbo shopping, i'd like to say i'm done but alas, i am not!

COAT:DOROTHY PERKINS SHOES:EVANS TIGHTS:TESCO

Pretty standard warm, winter outfit right here. These tights are amazing and cost £3 so i literally love them, tons. I nearly threw this coat in a charity shop bag once, i'm still not 100% sure i like it, but it suits me for the cold days when i want to be Jackie O.

it's all pictures from here on out.
