JGLLLL

I can't believe how quickly the time has gone since I last did a post... I wouldn't mind but in that gap, absolutley nothing has been acheived whatsoever, nor have we had any sunshine.

On Friday night we had a bit of a girls night in with lots of wine, food and 10 Things I Hate About You which is one of my all time favourites and I can almost speak along with it I've seen it that many times... which makes me a really annoying person to watch it with. It is actually very sad watching it now Heath (yes, we were on first name terms) is no longer with us, but I was also directed towards some pictures of Cameron, or Joseph Gordon-Levitt now that he's all grown up and have decided that he is going to be my new future husband.

Here are said pictures for your enjoyment, but don't be getting any ideas because he's already mine so BACK OFF.

All the Animals

Bit of a picture heavy post but I just couldn't narrow down all the animal pictures any further because they are all so cute.

I decided to swap work for wellingtons yesterday and went to a local farm with some friends in the afternoon for a coffee. There is a gorgeous little coffee shop and all the animals are super friendly and like to come over and say hello.

The mirror pictured below is from my old flat - it's slightly warped so it makes you look about six feet tall and skinny and its just sitting in my garage along with the rest of the junk that I'm still yet to sort. If I'm pottering around in the garage I do like to have a good look in it and pretend I'm slim!

After the farm I popped round to my friend's house to play with his dogs - Maggie the ridiculously miserable basset hound and Nell the very playful Great Dane pup.

And finally here's what I wore last night when I went out for a couple of drinks. It did start off as a dress but it's just too bloody cold and even though ordinarily I'm a total trouser-phobe and hate them with a passion, it was the only option to keep me warm!

Blazer - 'Vintage' (Stolen from my Nan), Top - Topshop, Jeans & Shoes - New Look, Bag - M by MJ, Necklace - 'Vintage' gold sovreign that belonged to my Grandad.

Having a convertible car means you can kiss good bye to perfect hair... That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Why oh Why...

Must you make me want to spend all my hard earned cash Acne?

Does anyone else have that (terribly shallow) feeling that their life won't be complete without certain items? Of course as soon as they are in your life, the completeness never really appears and something else becomes the object of your desires.





Acne vest and Acne pose shoes @ matches.

Bloody hell, less than a week between posts... what's going on?!

Also is anyone from the UK enjoying Big Brother this year? I hate to admit it but I find it highly amusing, although not quite as good now that Ben has left because he was hysterical. It definately hasn't taken over my life in any way... promise...

Cause' You Can Look Right Through Me

I've got to admit... there are few things in life that bring me more joy than going out in something see-through. This weekend a little uni reunion took place in Liverpool at my friend's flat which was great fun but did result in the worst hangover ever.

We went to a bar that has recently opened on Slater Street- The Shipping Forecast which was fun and then ended up in our old favourite The Krazyhouse, which is exactly what it says on the tin. It is the most sweaty disgusting club and is the type of place you should definately stop going to once you've got ID and can actually get into the good places... but despite the fact that it is grubby and unhygenic, we all love it and the drinks are dirt cheap. I did however make the mistake of wearing my current favourite shoes which are suede KG's and they are now ruined and seemingly covered in UV paint and general unpleasantness along with the rest of my outfit. Joy.


The infamous Krazyhouse







Please excuse my nails - they are painted matte black and look good in real life, not so good on camera...

This really random piece of graffiti has appeared on a street not far away from my friend's flat - I love it! Particularly the bears peeking out of the windows at the top. You can read more about the project and the artist on this fun website.

Sun, Sun, Sun

My family and I managed to escape the beautiful British summer (which is particularly grey and miserable up north) and fled for Mallorca to remind ourselves what sunshine looks like.

Whilst it was a pleasant trip I have decided to resign from beachy holidays - I can't deal with sitting around doing nothing in the sun for long periods of time so most of my time was spent swimming a couple of miles a day and going to the hottest gym in history. Aside from that I have really bad reactions to mosquito bites that even make doctors and pharmacists grimace... so unless its a holiday in the Alps or a city break, I'm opting out in future.

This...

To this!

Me and the fam... awkward pose necessary to hide the mess the mosquitos made of my left leg:

Good old maxi to cover up nasty mosquito bites, but sadly showcases the strap marks...

Waterside hotel restaurant... I don't care if it's not cool to wear sunglasses on your head.

My dad treated me to a pair of Rayban Clubmasters in the airport after having wanted some for aaages and they were stuck on my face the entire time. He bought himself a pair too so whilst at one stage we both had the wayfarers, now we've got matchy matchy clubmasters... how sad.

Class of 2010

It was my graduation yesterday and I had such a good day! It was super stressful to begin with because we were really late which is nothing unusal for my family and I forgot to bring all of the e mail confirmations for the gown, tickets, photos everything... then I was running through Liverpool Central station and managed to fall on my face and scrape all the fake tan off one side of my leg at the same time. Fortunately I had some foundation and bronzer to hand so was able to touch it up in the taxi.

The ceremony lasted for nearly two hours and thankfully I managed not to fall over or lose my hat on stage so it was all good. Definately worth all the sleepless nights, hard work and 4am starts before exams to get here.

I always wanted to wear a Viv Westwood suit for my graduation but thought near the end that I was going to fail completely so didn't bother saving up. I ended up finding this dress at the last minute on Monday and actually preferred this to the suit because it was boiling in the cathedral!

Want Want Want

We are staying at a little hotel in the Lake District this evening as a treat for my sister's birthday and it is absolutley gorgeous so I thought a quick blog post before dinner was necessary. I want my house to look like this! More pictures to come tomorrow because every room is decorated differently - a real treat for the eyes!
