Mid-week treat.

I can't believe it's nearly friday already... the past week has flown by, but so much has gone on. I had a lovely surprise visit from Joe this weekend, we decided to venture out taking the disposable cameras pretending to be tourists on the Boris bikes... much fun and I didn't crash into anyone this time (always a bonus!!) Also I finally got to see 12 years a Slave, it's a tear jerker, but definitely worth the watch. I came out of the cinema preaching that everyone must watch, yes I felt very emotionally engaged with the film haha. 

After Joe had left, I met up with my friend Sally from back home. Crazily we hadn't seen each other since I had to leave for London, which was 4 months ago...It was great to catch up over a coffee in Richmond. It's such a sweet escape from being in the busy city all the time. 

Unfortunately due to being a very poor student right now, new clothes hasn't been a priority this week (Hurry up payday!!) But I managed to get a mid-week treat last night. We celebrated my lovely housemates birthday at The Road House in Covent Garden. The cocktails were flying in and the rock & roll atmosphere was great...luckily it wasn't too pricy either!! On Mondays and Wednesdays they have their live band playing along with karaoke, I'm sure if I had a few more drinks I'd have been up on the stage myself, maybe it's best I wasn't! I definitely recommend it to everyone, even if it's for casual drinks or partying with friends, it's a lively place that does scrumptious cocktails with a 2-4-1 offer till 7.30pm. And on the plus side it turns into a bar/nightclub later on in the evening!! Why not!

At least half of my wardrobe ended on my floor when trying to find an outfit, I believe when I haven't purchased any clothes in the space of a week, that I have NO clothes to wear whats-so-ever! Anyone else have the same problem?? Finally I found my favourite black top that literally goes with anything and everything! And would you believe I purchased it last year from Matalan, of all places... yes I was shocked too!! I've listed below where the rest of my outfit is from... I do apologise that the photos don't have the best scenery but I didn't dare to brave the cold. Thankfully to my beautiful friend Luci Rose (who also has a blog and I think you should all check it out) my photos turned out just fine!! Hope you all have had a great week my fellow friends and bloggers!! Do follow me on Bloglovin.com to keep posted and I do follow back!! Always keen for a new blog!!

and other stories...

So today me and the girls decided to stop acting like we're OAP's and start making more of our time in London. A few hours later we found ourselves on the famous Carnaby Street, situated next to Soho so you still get that quirky feel but with more of a high street vibe... and personally, i love it! Since i've been in London i've come across many new stores that i've fallen in love with, but my number one store must go to todays find 'and other stories..'. It reminds me of a sophisticated yet an edgy Zara and its certainly not a jumble sale. And speaking of sales i managed to find a few bargains which i'm dying to wear and try out, and yes i will keep you posted! But what i love most about this place is that it has its own huge cosmetics range, that seems lush and affordable. The staff there were very helpful and friendly yet not too pushy compared to my visit in mac earlier on in the day. Plus i just really love that once you've purchased your items they pop them in cute drawstring bags and gift wrap your garments without having to ask, yes it made me feel very special. Haha. 

So yes i bought a lovely set of purple lace underwear that was originally priced for £35 which i guess isn't to bad for pretty underwear. But for a student budget i'm very pleased to announce i managed to buy it for £17.50!! Even though i'm not the biggest lover of lip gloss i came across a shade called 'cocoa my coconut' and yeah the name did draw me in, but the colour is really great for those natural looking lips instead of the concealer lip look and for the price of £6 i just couldn't resist! oops!!! Also i've been meaning to find a new eyebrow powder, as I'm not a huge fan of the "draw on" look, but with powder you still get the same filled in style that hasn't been painted on. I haven't tried their makeup range before but from other bloggers recommendations i'm sure i wont be let down. So since i was buying new powder i thought "why not buy a new brush to go with it too" ??? so yeah another buy was ticked of the list for £7 it's still far cheaper than any other makeup brand.(yes i do talk to myself sometimes).I think its nice to spend a little more money on base makeup products, so for my bronzer i went to mac as i can always rely on them not discontinuing their products. And i managed to get 15% off with my lovely makeup expert Luci.

So today was very productive and i'm more than happy with all my purchases, also i can fully recommend 'and other stories...' and hopefully will be back as soon as pay day reaches my bank again! What do you think of their makeup and my blog so far guys ?

Me in and other stories... cosmetics, feeling very pleased with my purchases...wearing my famous red coat from Zara.

     The first ever post.

After contemplating creating a fashion blog, the new year has pushed me into being that little more courageous and finally i'm making real use of my laptop...

I'm a 19 year old student from Lancashire but recently moved down to London to focus on creating that fashion career i have always dreamed of. I'm very fortunate to be studying at London College of Fashion doing Fashion Design and Marketing... and so far i have loved every minute minus those stressful deadlines! The past 4 months have been such a whirlwind, so much has happened in so little time but i guess thats just London for you. I have been grateful to have met some of the most amazing people within my halls and the people of this crazy city...i have to confess that NOT all Londoners are rude. 

I thought theres no better way to show my adventures and purchases through my very own fashion blog!! I will be blogging about makeup, my own buys and the surprises of the fashion world!! It will be great to hear feedback and your comments on all my posts and hopefully meet some interesting bloggers through this blogging journey hehe!! Thanks guys.
