All Work & No Play

Well, Christmas and New Year lulled me into a false sense of security RE work and uni and deadlines. And now here I am, fresh from a full days research in the library eating crisps and soup for tea and wrapping up in more layers than you can shake a stick at (I am poor and heating is expensive, creys).

I have two weeks off between semesters after this week and my plan consists of a lot of sleep, gaming as a way to stay in touch with the BFF in Exeter (also, I am an out and proud nerd). But most importantly, i plan on giving the ol' blog some new vizualzzz and chucking together a few posts.

Don't get too excited guys, no need for balloons or cake or anything.

Actually, cake would be nice.

Home Time

For the first time since i moved up here about 7 weeks ago i am going home to beautiful, lovely Devon AKA The Shire.
I'm very excited to have 5 days in very comfortable surroundings and i'm even more excited to spend a huge amout of time with my Dad : D and of course my greatly missed friends too!

Thought i'd do a little OOTD today and drafted my flatmate in for help taking the photos (TIP: don't mention you did photography A-Level to a blogger who's having issues taking self portraits, you will become an unpaid member of staff) It was proper grey and raining so we only took a few but i'm pretty happy all the same.

BOOTS,SCARF&CARDIGAN:PRIMARK SOCKS&TOP:H&M JEGGINGS:EVANS EARRINGS:DIY

I have pretty much lived in this cardigan since buying it, it's so easy to wear in a million different ways, i just can't help myself. The booots are new too, at £15 they were quite the bargain and i'm pretty happy that Primark has started doing wide fitting size 9 shoes! I Made these earrings years ago out of two shell necklaces from Tesco and i tend to wear them a lot when i have my hair up.

I'm gonna aim to do an OOTD every day until Friday whilst i'm back at home with my lovely spacious room and blank walls and i'll either post as i do them or leave it til next week.

TOGA-RIFIC

On Friday night me and my lovely uni flatmates went on a pretty major night out. It was a Halloween/Birthday mash up night as Bex (next to me in the above picture) said goodbye to her teens and we celebrated the spooky holiday (due to a lot of us being away from Worcester for actual Halloween).

We donned Togas made from Primark bed sheets constructed mostly by yours truly and had what can only be described as an epic time involving Raspberry Jelly-Vodka Shots and out favourite Worcester haunt - Cellar Bar, if you're ever in this little city please check this place out!

Thought i'd spare you guys (and us, actually!) the pictures from after we left the flat and just g with pre-drinking jelly guzzling pics :)
Oh and a wee Nail Design picture of my Greek Inspired patterns!
