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!

Better Late

Than Never!

I guess that applies to this post and also to the wintry weather we've been getting. After a good solid week of sunshine at the start of the month it is now fuurrr-eeezze-ing, queue shopping trip for knitwear and coats and of course a cheeky chai latte, i'm clearly settling into my new life well :)

CARDIGAN:PRIMARK TOP:H&M JEGGINGS:NEW LOOK SHOES:EVANS

So this cardi was a purchase on my recent shopping trip! Apart from the fact it is 100% acrylic it's pretty perfect and i have to admit i was SRSLY impressed at Primark's autumn/winter stuff. I managed to nab a wool mix blanket coat for £10 in the sale and i love it, can't wait to post about it!

Anyyne else noticed how awsome it is at the moment, or maybe you're hating it?

Taking OOTD pictures in my flat kitchen was a slightly awkward experience for me but i just do not have the space for full body shots in my room so it was necessary. Getting back into the swing of this is undoubtedly going to be a challenge but it's one I'm ready to take on; mercilessly :)

Recovery

So my week started out well - dressing up, dancing and drinking. It was all very fun and messy and awesome. Then on Monday i felt a bit worse than just hungover but in true "Morgaine" fashion decided to party through it...

...it didn't work out too well. Turns out i have tonsillitis, again! For the first couple days i was back on the penicillin and ice cream diet before deciding a rehab weekend at my Grandparent's house was the best idea...

...and so here i am. At Grandma & Granddad's getting looked after. I also seem to be getting shit done too, how very productive of me. Monologues and Knitting (grandma just taught me, i'm loving it!) totally Rock and Roll!
