Glasg-omgz!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Sorry I've not been about much, even though I finished uni, it is a very busy time of year for me what with birthday plans and other bits and bobs. Alex & I are off for a whirlwind visit to Glasgow tomorrow night (well, going to his parent's house so we can all set off super early) until Weds night. Then I'm nipping to London on Thursday, drinks on Thursday...

Debenhams: Swimwear + H! by Henry Holland review!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Perfectly timed with my decision to take up swimming as my exercise of choice, the kind folk at Debenhams sent me one of their Floozie bikinis to add a bit of glamour to my incompetent flailing. Floozie is the underwear range by design duo Frost French, and I've been a fan for a while now. I've always found Debenhams underwear to be great for the, erm, 'young...

Tuesday tip - Mix & Match nails

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hello guys, thanks to those that left such lovely comments about my magazine in the last post. It's scary to put something you've worked hard on 'out there' for criticism, so I was truly ecstatic that you liked it. As for whether I might do another one... Well it's something to think about! My Indesign trial runs out very soon though so I'll have to find someone...

Gem Says

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();I'm FREE! After staying up all night long (which was just surreal... I feel deathly now!) I handed in my magazine project today. As much as I enjoyed it, it will be nice to put my feet up for a while now. It's been a really intense 4 weeks for me and I am looking forward to some me time. First stop - dyeing my roots! I learnt so much on this project (Adobe Photoshop & Indesign are my new BFF's) and now...

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hello old friends! Sorry for the neglect, I'm sure you can imagine I've been under heaps of stress trying to get this magazine done in time for hand in on Monday. Once it's over I'm going to be a literal bunny boiler of the blog-world. I'll be blogging at you so much you will report me as spam. So don't desert me just yet ♥I went to get it printed before work...

Tuesday Tip - Easy truffle recipe!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Hello all!I was going to share some blogging tips today but thought it'd be more fun to show you what I've been slaving over the last few days. I'm creating a 16-page magazine (well it's more like 22 at the moment, I have too many ideas and not enough time!) for a uni project due in on Monday. My concept is to create a blog, but in print basically. So lots of...

Quickie

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();A nice quiet post as promised! Here's what I wore the other day when I was taking my CV's around town. I tried to dress nicely to detract from the bedhead! :)[Everything is from Topshop except my little vintage Parisian heeled brogues]Almost a week until my magazine is due in and I've been freaking out a bit at the prospect of designing a magazine from scratch....

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();(Tuesday tips is recruiting new ideas! If you know any nifty beauty or DIY tips, comment or email me them and I'll try and post them up!)Today's tip was discovered around fashion week when that blogger BS was going on.

Clodges

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();Today was the start of our quarterly Topshop uniform allowance, where we have a few weeks to buy some clothes with 60% discount. It's not as OMGZ!!1! as you might think, because it can cause a lot of mental exhaustion... What if you use up your 3-item allowance on the first day and then something amazing comes in stock the next week? What if you decide to wait...

Chase-ing the dream!

_uacct = "UA-2852839-1";urchinTracker();It was a tres stressful day at work today, as it looks like Topshop won't be able to give me the overtime I need when I've finished my uni term and won't get the next loan instalment until Sept. AKA How the eff am I supposed to pay my £400 half of the rent not to mention bills (and clothes!)?!?!?!?!So it's looking like I'll have to find another job, which is...
