i quite like this New Look bag. if it can fit an A4 notepad in it it may be a possibility for the start of fourth year. i'm quite fussy about bags so that is why i seem like i'm putting far to much thought into it.

grahhhh.

the title of this post really shows my mood right now. although my grump is purely superficial. after 4 and a half months on Roaccutane (the stupidly aggressive drug that gets rid of acne) i am still getting spots. The dermatologist has put me on another two months but i was hoping to be off by the time uni started. The dry lips are so embarrassing, and its not nice to talk to people with your skin peeling off your lips. anyway, fingers crossed people that in two months time my skin will be flawless. or as close to it as i can get.



i have so many outfit ideas i want to try when i start uni. Scarf is River Island, Cardigan is New Look and Jeans Topshop. Although Primark do a similar coloured jean for just over a quarter of the price.
I'm sure I keep posting pictures of this bag BUT it is within my grasps. My mum has said she'll get it for my christmas, which yes is ages away and yes, shes buying it now and will sit at their house for the next four months and I won't get to use it BUT I will have it by December. Yay :).



been 'window shopping' recently in order to curb my craving to spend money I don't have. Anyway, love this wee outfit - Trousers from New Look, Top from H&M and Scarf from River Island. Definitely trying this outfit.

Gorgeous Zara leather jacket.

wee bit pricey at £139.99 but i bet it fits like a dream.



wee outfit from Topshops 'new in' section. thinking about new outfits for going back to Uni, yes its another 2 months away but i am bored and jobless so i need something to fill my time. if i can scrape some money together before Uni starts then i will definitely buy an outfit similar to this - only with Primark trousers as the Toppers ones are £42 :o.

this is the outfit I want for a big night out in August. two milestones I hope to have reached by then: having no spots after a four month course of a very strong drug that has given me horrendously dry lips, aching muscles, headaches and horrific eczema and having lost half a stone in weight. The choice in shoes is depending on the weightloss, fat thighs and shoeboots are a girls worst enemy, so I'll opt for a court shoe if my thunder thighs are still there. and the dress shows my shoulders, which for the past ten years or so I have mostly had to cover due to acne. so if I can wear this outfit I will be so happy with myself :)

Detox? YES.

I've decided to put myself and the boyfriend on a healthy eating detox for the next four weeks. I think I'll make regular updates on this to keep myself motivated. So for me this means no takeaways, gym five times a week and cutting wheat down by a lot as I'm sure I have an intolerance. For the boyfriend it is much the same but cutting out the cigarettes and energy juice he consumes as if it is going out of fashion. I'm hoping to have lost at least half a stone by the middle of August, preferably a stone but i'll be happy with half. Lets keep the willpower going!

midi?


I'm really tempted to try out a pleated midi skirt, but is 5ft just too short to pull one off? maybe with some HUGE wedges i could get away with one...
selling a few wee things on ebay if you're interested?

have a look and put in a wee bid. all excellent condition, they just don't fit or I've not used them in a long time.

Thanks :)

watching SATC the other day, Carrie dying her hair brown has made me want to go back to brown so much. I don't know what to do. it would be cheaper as I wouldn't have to see the hairdresser every two months to get my roots done, I could just do them myself. but I really never know if I suited my hair brown. hmm, decisions.

love this miss selfridge embellished top. would look lovely with some black or indigo skinnies and a black floppy hat. i love thinking up new outfit ideas, i just never have the money to wear them.

want.

love this american apparel hoody. wanted one for ages, they're just so dear. i may have to save for this badboy.

i need a job so badly. I am losing the will to live, completely de-motivated, bored out my face, slowly losing confidence in myself.

i don't know what else i can do to boost my CV. my experience is as high as you can get for a sales assistant job, i have good qualifications, a good personal statement, yet after applying for countless jobs i still haven't had an interview.

i'm beginning to feel like working so hard at my previous job and studying for good qualifications and completing the BA part of my degree is for nothing, when all I'm looking for is a part-time job!

I am only moaning like this because i am on my own an need a rant.
Oh well, my Sunday is being spent watching the next lot of films I have on my list; Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and SATC 2. Oh and tidying, because my boyfriend and I have the inability to keep the flat tidy for more than five hours.

Scottish Fashion Awards video. This is where I was working on Tuesday and Wednesday as a runner and dresser. Good experience, will hopefully give my CV a boost and the job offers will be rolling in...well we can all dream I guess.

Got my dress for the Fashion Awards after-party :D. exciting. from the Parisian range at New Look. Never worn a maxi dress before, so I hope it does actually look good on.

how amazing does Fearne Cotton look at the Glamour Awards? I am definitely considering this hair colour, and the dress is gorgeous!

Need a dress for the Scottish Fashion Awards after-party and I really want this one from Miss Selfridge. However, £65 is a bit too pricey for one night and I can't see myself wearing this out in Glasgow. Its stunning though.

degree.

yay, I just passed my third year exams, which means I have my degree now. I will not get tired of telling people this..at least until I complete my honours year.

new shooooes.

my lovely £8 Primark purchase. I've been looking for cheap, comfy brogues for ages. Usually the ones I see are a bit clumpy and overly mannish. Considering I'm 5ft tall, they look utterly ridiculous, but I am very impressed with these.

new blog.

so, I've moved on from my tumblr blog to this. I think I prefer this as there is more opportunity to customize your blog and put whatever you want on your page. I hope you guys enjoy, hopefully I'll be able to post some outfits etc soon, whenever I get round to taking photos [and charging my camera].
