Thanks Ri-Ri

Despite feeling completely out of touch with most pop culture since going to uni, especially the top 40. I did manage to stumble across and watch Rihanna's new video for We Found Love. Much like Gem It totally re-awakened my love for that This is England, 1980's, skinhead style.

TOP&JEANS:DOROTHY PERKINS BLACK TOP(UNDER PINK):H&M

BOOTS:DR MARTEN

I desperately want a shorter pair of docs to wear like this but my 14 eyelets will do for now. I guess this outfit strays from my usual style a bit but i feel super comfortable so it's pretty irrelevant. My hair and face wouldn't play ball today so i only liked the shots where i wasn't looking into the camera, not trying to be super fashun blogger-y with my photos, i promise!

I can't think of a good way to smoothly transfer to this but i need to let y'all know how much i am loving being back at home and blogging this much, it's bringing me a whole ton of joy : D

Raining in Darling

 This song always reminds me of being happy, and right now i'm exactly that (plus it's raining here so it fits quite nicely).
It's not that a huge amount happened today. All i did was (in exact order); roll out of bed, take a shower, walk to town, had lunch with a bestie, stood in the rain for a bus home, got home, went to Tesco, cooked for me and Dad, drank a couple glasses of red, watched 300 and then sat down to blog.
But for some reason today feels like it was important.
I dunno, maybe it's the wine talking. Or maybe it's just being home and surrounded by things that make me feel good has made me realise my own happiness again. It's probably that.

On to the really important stuff, on this the most wonderful day of days i wore this selection of clothes:

CARDIGAN:TESCO DRESS:DOROTHY PERKINS LEGGINGS:NEW LOOK TOP&BOOTS:PRIMARK

I left this dress at home because i bought it years ago and never wore it, but this suckaa is totally coming back to uni with me! It's amazing, i have no idea why i never wore it, granted i was a lt bigger when i bought it so proably wasn't cmfortable with how tight it would have been but now, ohhh man, i'm going to wear it to death! I love re-discovering stuff!

Rest of the outfit is pretty standard. I brought very few clean clothes back with me so i'm revolving what i wear around the same key things; i'm quite enjoying it though, lessons in capsule wardrbe dressing.

I had to layer up today due to wind and rain and general English weather, but that is not a complaint, i'm just saying!

Hpe this post wasn't to rand0m, with all my happiness blahh at the start and what have you. It's late and i'm tired and i am, if nothing else, a bit bat shit crazy. So please forgive me if it seems like senseless hippy emotional dribble that is irrelevant to an OOTD : )

October

first things first, let me say this:

and this:

now, with the formalities out of the way, i'll get to rounding up my month!

October, much like September has been busy. My course at university really got going in terms of work load and assessments and finding my place in Worcester and in a new group of people took a lot of time too. The last 2 months have been a lot of hard work so it's harder for me to write a super positive review of the month than it was earlier in the year. However, despite the hard work and other difficult shit that has gone down i'm really enjoying myself and seeing a lot of payback for the effort i'm putting in!
For example in my first practical assessment (a physical theatre piece), me and the rest of my group got an A-, i smiled til my face was sore after that! And because i'm completely at peace with making a tit out of myself in the interests of artistic endeavour and being awesome at life, here is a picture of me in character for said assessment, i was a crazy tea lady who was in love with her boss:

So basically; September and especially October have made me remember and value lessons i learnt long ago:
Optimism, Perseverance and Giving 100% to the stuff you love and are passionate for.

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!
