taper jean girl.

Hello everyone! Bringing you an OOTD post here... It's been soooo long I've forgotten what it's like to post one of these haha! Anyway I'm off to go hit the sales today with my best friend. No doubt there is nothing but utter shite left but it's a day out today! Yeah, I am actually wearing jeans in these photos, I know I've shocked myself but I had to compensate for the fact that I'm not wearing a proper coat, but a jacket. I'm going causal today because I've got a party tonight which means I need to hold back on any thinking I put into my makeup, hair and clothes.

Oh yeah and the title came from the song I was listening to whilst taking these photos.

#1. Happy Boxing Day everyone! The smell of turkey is well and truly in blazing in my house. I went to my aunties house yesterday and had an amazing day with my cousins. Spent the day eating way too much and felt so very sick at the end of the night! Oh well, what's Christmas without getting fat eh? Haha! I finally got my internet back on Christmas eve so that was an even better start to my Christmas!

#2. I had so many presents, such a selection. Make-up, money, chocolate (duh!), perfume, body wash sets, a lottttt of stuff! Now the excitements worn off and I've realised how old I've become... Haha! Sad really considering I'm only 19 and technically many would say I'm not old, but you know, haha!

#3. Lastly, I don't have much to write today, just make sure you enjoy your day doing whatever you are with whoever you're with! :)

it was the night before christmas

Hello everyone, it's a rambling blog coming your way. It's Christmas Eve and I'm wide awake watching The Holiday which has to be one of my favourite christmas films ever. I absolutely adore Jude Law in this film in particular. Anyway, I want to get my apologies for not updating the blog at all this week. I know, I suck, but I've just been incredible busy with either doing sweet FA, or seeing friends, and (ex's) but lets not go there yes? Yeah, okay. Basically I've just been too busy.... That's what christmas does to us all I suppose.

I just wanted to say, I'm super excited for tomorrow. I'm having dinner with the fam and then I'm going spend my time slobbing out and getting fat(ter) aha! Hope you all have an amazing christmas, doing whatever you enjoying doing and here's to a great 2011!

sunday snap #8.

#1. This week has been a nightmare! My internet hasn't been working and I've had to go to my friends how to upload videos for youtube and even write this blog. (I will say that it's Saturday night when I write this so I am sort of cheating, sorry!) Ignore my picture, just a quick photobooth snap and bobs your uncle. Anyway, I really hope that my internet sorts itself out because I feel really bad that I haven't been updating the blog.

#2. I went to see Kings of Leon yesterday and I have to say one) they were FANTASTIC, AMAZING, INCREDIBLE! and two) I am still recovering from it. I don't know what it is but my head is absolutely killing me and I didn't touch a drop of alcohol... so I'm definitely, as my friends say, confused-dot-com, haha! The crowd were so good, like jumping around and singing along. Of course I had some annoying girl on my back who only knew them because of Sex On Fire, which is of course annoying especially when she and her friend are constantly saying after every song, "When are they going to play Sex on Fire?" I mean COME ON, they have OTHER SONGS, maybe if you really liked them you would find out that their stuff before Sex on Fire is wayyyyy better!!! They played one of my favourites which is Four Kicks, so I well chuffed haha, but in all honestly if you haven't seen Kings of Leon then I recommend that you should, because last night was the best 50£ I have ever spent! Can't wait to go see them play again!

#3. I WISH THE SNOW WOULD GO AWAY. Today I had plans with my friends which have been put on hold for in the middle of the week but I honestly don't think we're gonna get to do them. The snow was falling so thick and fast today that I actually wanted to scream at the top of my lungs WHY GOD WHY?! I mean sure the snow is lovely to look at, makes everything feel really Christmasy and without a doubt makes everything look like the front of a Christmas card but when you have to venture out it makes everything so dangerous. To be honest I think I'm over Winter.

#4. ANOTHER REASON I HATE THE SNOW.... Because I was going to the football today (Sunday) to see my local football derby but noooo, that's been cancelled due to the snow. Not good. The snow needs to get my memo which says GO AWAY.

#5. If you didn't catch the video I uploaded in the week then here it is:

TAG: Would You Rather...

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been updating but my internet is down... I'm currently on someone elses computer using their internet. Hopefully I'll be able do the same Sunday because I want to get a Sunday Snap post up and running for you! Here's a video I uploaded (again from someone elses computer) so I hope you enjoy! It really has been a nightmare without any internet... It just goes to show how much it takes up my life!

sunday snap #7.

#1. I finally finished my christmas shopping! I've bought everything I needed to get and have now wrapped it. Only just finished it though... Now watching Elf with my family. I love this film! I know it word for word I've watched it that many times though. I have to say I've seen favouritism towards my parents when buying presents - I just don't know what to buy for my Dad and being a girl it's so much easier to buy for my Mom so it's definitely not intentional. Breathing a sigh of relief that it's all done with now.

#2. Excuse the picture, I took it this morning when I was eating breakfast. I have to say I didn't wake up till 12:15, sooo lazy. But over this last few days I've been sleeping in so late which is really unlike me. I don't know whether it means I'm coming down with some illness or I just need to catch up with sleep, but I have to say I love it and I'm not going to complain about an extra couple of hours.

#3. I can't believe today is the final X Factor. Honestly I feel like this year has flown by and it's actually pretty scary. Anyway, I would really love Matt or One Direction to win. As much as I love Rebecca, and her KILLER voice, she doesn't move. For me a successful artist is both an amazing singer/songwriter and entertainer. I want to know that if I'm going to pay money to see that person I'm going to have a fantastic time, and to me Rebecca just doesn't do that. I watched last night and have to say that Rhianna blew me away. I don't really like her if I'm being honest with myself and I never really have. I don't have a reason for it she just isn't my taste I suppose, but she was brilliant last night. I just wish she would change her hair colour because it does nothing for her!

#4. I went to see my friend perform this week at her Uni SU bar. She did amazing, a right little rocker she is! She was nervous as anything but I knew she was going to rock it! It's weird for the two of us because sometimes we're joined at the hip and going to different universities was going to be a "challenge" so to say but I'm proud of her, she's like my sister, and I'm glad she's sticking it out and doing what she loves! :)

#5. Next week is going to be AMAZING. I'm going to see Kings of Leon which is just.... jkjlkljkdnk'sknfeoinan! I can't actually put it into words, but just know that next weeks 'Sunday Snap' will be SO much more interesting!

TAG: 50 Random Questions...

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd post my latest youtube video. I got bored in the middle of the week and decided to answer the 50 Random Questions tag... Little boring but hey it killed time! Hopefully I'll get a more relevant fashion/beauty video up in the next coming weeks.

and repeat.

I've been wearing my hair up like this for a while now, just throwing it up in a hair tie and making do. I have to say it's been doing my head in, always being in my face but I'm really conscious of my shoulders... They're like swimmers shoulders. My old P.E teacher at school told me that she thought I had a swimmers body, whatever that is. Anyway, my hair will be back down as of tomorrow I can assure you!

To most people I probably look at mess but I wanted to get another video out there for you guys and this was the best I could do. The picture quality isn't great and again I apologise for that! I really need to sort of my camera out... I know I keep saying it but I do. Anyway I think I'm going to have to keep this one short because I can barely type my fingers are that cold, I must invest in some fingerless gloves.

polka dot.

Today's outfit consists of an ASOS playsuit and my famous Primark cardigan. I didn't have to leave the house today so I don't really know who I got dressed if I'm truely honest. Yeah I know that sounds gross but it's winter and I don't really have a reason to leave. I'm a student, I'm allowed to be lazy, I'm allowed to stay in bed all day and look a mess. That's part of the experience. Haha!

Anyway, the playsuit is something I usually wear as a going out outfit, but to be honest they drive me insane when you have to constantly undo the back. I think all playsuits should have press studs hidden in the crotch area for us lazy people - me included obviously. Sorry for the quality of pictures, I took these really late tonight and the colouring was terrible. I should really stop doing things at the last minute.

All my work is finished, and I'm ready for Christmas now. My friends return this week, one from Sheffield, the other from Nottingham. So the gang is going to be reunited and go to our second home, aka the spoons. I'm excited!! Other than that the only thing I've got going on is I've got another essay in for 17th January on something that I'm going to have to study hard. Let the good times roll eh?

sunday snap #6.

#1. This week I've been stressing out so much about my essay, as you guy saw from my last post that I've spent the entire week with my head in a book. Not that I had anywhere to go, or wanted to leave my house because the weather outside is basically snow. Everywhere. Yeah I love it, I love it even more when I don't have to leave the house, but I always have to leave the house! I honestly can't want until Uni is over just for the sake of not having to leave. I've almost finished, just need to write the conclusion... Argh!

#2. I went to see London Boulevard with my Mom last week (I forgot to blog about it on my last Sunday blog haha). She loves Ray Winstone, and I wanted to treat her... Plus I have to say Colin Farrell isn't bad on the eye either. I actually really liked the film even though I can't stand Keira Knightly. I had to laugh though because sitting behind me and my Mom were two old women who clearly didn't like her either, and I quote: "Why have they chosen her for? She has no chest." "She's got a big chin as well." I wasn't expecting the ending, it actually made me quite annoyed. I don't know... Sigh.

#3. Thursday I braved the snow and I'm actually proud when I say I didn't slip once, however I was walking like an OAP with a zimmer frame BUT I DON'T CARE! Haha... I did it! I had uni from 11am-7pm... Terrible. It was scary walking back on my own and my Mom made me talk to her the entire journey home. I hated it! I'm not going in next week considering it's only a seminar, I'll just email in. My lecturers appear heartless considering next week is the independent task and they're swapping it around, well they can screw!

#4. I HAVEN'T STARTED MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! WHAT!!!!! I think I'm just gonna go to the mini-shopping centre thats about 10 minutes down the road and get my Mom's gift or should I say gifts... I want to spoil her this year. I don't know what it is but this year has made me really appreciate my Mom, not that I didn't appreciate her before, but now I definitely don't take her for granted. I think I'm going to get my brother a bunch of DVDs... He loves comedians and stuff like that so fingers crossed he likes it. That or a iTunes gift card? Hmmm....

#5. WE PUT OUR CHRISTMAS TREE UP YESTERDAY!!! Super early for us, usually do it the middle of December but my Mom's going out next week with her work. Some charity ball or something.... Anyway, yesterday I got all excited because I love putting the decorations up! Other than that I've just been working on my essay, writing and editing... Fun, fun, fun!

my head is in a book.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to apologise in advance that this week I won't be posting anymore outfit's of the day. I am absolutely snowed under with work. I'm currently working on a 1500 word essay that is talking about representation. I'm trying my hardest to get my head around it and use the correct amount of everything. I have to say I am so, so nervous about the outcome of this essay! I want to pass with flying colours so to speak but I have seriously began to doubt myself and my knowledge about media.

I love the subject so much and I really can see myself working in the field some day, and it's not that the works hard it's just complex. There's so many pieces to the puzzle that you have to find and make sure they fit. It's time consuming and I hate it, but I'm not going to give up, I can't. So right now my Uni work is becoming the first priority in my life right now not because it has to but because I need it to. In order to get what I want out of my life I need to do this.

I promise when things ease off I'll come back to this blog. I'm sure I'll be able to get at least one outfit post a week but I can't promise anything on that!

See you on the other side, so far I'm a third of the way through. Wish me luck!
