Mac Magic

Why can't someone from Mac just come round and sort my hallowe'en costume out for me?

I LOVE hallowe'en but I've only had one day off in the past three weeks so I've hardly had any time to sort anything out... Stressss!!

I did actually try out this Roy Lichtenstein masterpiece just before and it went pretty wrong. I mixed some fake blood with foundation to get the colour for the dots so now my face is stained a bit pink. Super!

What is everyone going as this year?

Back in Business...

The insurance company finally got round to paying out for poor Geoffrey so I invested in this beautiful device which is yet to be named. Any ideas? Answers on a postcard.

Yaaay! It's good to be back. Obviously I'll be returning to my mega frequent posting.. i.e. every ten days or so haha :)

My mum and I are dead attractive.

Hope everyone is good and I'm looking forward to having a good catch up with all you lovely bloggers.

Ladies Night

Sheer heart print dress - H&M

Still don't have a laptop. I have however managed to resurrect the computer that has been abandoned for years which I didn't even know still worked. It is making some very unhappy noises at me though.

On Friday night I had a man free night for the first time in absolutely ages and went out with just girlies instead which was funnn. I put on my dancing shoes and swapped the usual cider with the boys (classy girl) for cocktails that contained edible flowers with the ladies and danced the night away in Liverpool and at the end of the night haggled in a take away for a garlic bread with the 37p I had left in my purse.

The bar that we were in I've mentioned before - it used to be a Turkish Church and has the coolest decor.. I want antler chandeliers in my life. At the weekend they throw petals over the balcony over all the drinkers. Sadly we missed the event but the floor had a nice sprinkling of the stuff anyway.

It's a sad day...

My poor laptop was the victim of a burglary this weekend at my friend's house in Manchester. I had pretty much everything backed up which is good, but there will always be a lappy shaped hole in my heart for my beloved Geoffrey. We've been through a lot together - I couldn't have got through uni without him... *sob*.

Just upgraded him and everything...

Ha... To be honest, although I was very much attached it was a terrible piece of equipment. I'm hoping to replace him with something that has an apple on the back for real but need to find out whether I am actually covered by my Dad's insurance policy to begin with. Dirty thieving scum!

Where d'ya get those peepers?

I'm going glasses shopping with my Aunt this week who is even more visually impaired than I am. For the past couple of years I've played it safe and gone with a pair of black Chanel specs, but this time I fancy something different and there are so many fun styles out there at the moment.







Tom Ford, Massada, Oliver Peoples.


In other news, something really heart warming happened at work today - my Auntie owns a hotel/restaurant and I work there at the weekend. There is this really lovely eccentric couple who come in quite regularly - he has a mad comb over, drives a Rolls Royce and wears VERY colourful tropical shirts and she is literally a crazy cat lady - today she was wearing a cat necklace, a pair of socks that said I ♥ My Cats, and they always bring a cat bottle stopper for their bottle of Lanson. Anyway today they were sat on a table next to a little old lady who is a widow so comes in on her own and they had a little chat. When the man came to pay his bill he also asked if he could pay the lone diner's bill too! How sweet is that?! And what a treat for the old lady... She was so shocked and touched when she came to pay her bill and found out it had been secretly paid. It has made my weekend just seeing how nice someone can be, so imagine how she feels!

Hope you've all had lovely weekends!

Thunderbolts & Lightning

Yesterday started out beautifully, hence the summer dress and sandals... then not long after I left the house there was a massive down pour, which my fake tan didn't appreciate, and thunder and lightning. We ended up going for coffee/hot chocolate and cake (as usual - no wonder I can't lose any weight) and then played scrabble until the sun came out again.

I need to start looking for proper jobs because I am clearly wasting my days away.

The dress is from a vintage shop in Liverpool and I love the bright bold tropical flowers against the grey background. The belt is from my mum's 80s accessories collection and the sandals were an absolute bargain from Office - I think they were about £40 originally and then a sale plus student discount made them £9. Score!

Apologies for the darkness of this photo and the awkward pose - it always happens when I'm trying to explain to people how to use my camera and then they just take one picture and I have to pose quickly!

Leeds Festival 2010

I spent last weekend (well.. Wednesday to Monday) camping in a field that rapidly became a landfill site and paid £200 for the privilege. Not to mention £4 at the bar every time a drink was required which can only mean one thing - Leeds Festival. The sun even came out to play and we only had one or two light showers over the weekend which was incredible - I was almost in danger of getting a tan!

This is the third time I've been now and sadly there was a bit of a dampener on the weekend because we were camped next to some of the most undesirable people at the whole of the festival who were constantly starting fires and causing trouble and one of them head butted one of my friends and then Nicola had £150 stolen from her tent whilst she was asleep inside it! Let's not dwell on that though because on the other side we were camped next to some lovely people so on with the photos....


The ladies from our group - Sarah, Me and Nic

Two of the boys Joe and Sam - Joe has been desperate to have his face on here for ages for some reason - he is the owner of the dogs from a couple of posts ago..

And also the most clumbsy person in the world which resulted in this amusingly shaped stain on his crotch... it was funny at the time.

Me outside one of my friend's tents - the biggest one for miles that everyone nick named the Taj Mahal. I always thought I was a bit OTT with a four man just for me but apparently not.

The best thing going on at night was the silent disco - theres nothing more fun than doing the silent conga.. trust me.

Some of the boys doing the Limp Bizkit Rollin' dance!




And finally these were our favourite band of the weekend who had an unbelievable amount of stage presence and were incredible to watch - after having a snoop around on the internet it seems that they have a bit of a marmite effect on people but either way they are well worth a watch.

When I eventually got home on Monday afternoon I got straight into bed and woke up about twenty hours later on Tuesday morning.

Also to the annonymous commenter on my last post - yes obviously I was at Leeds, do you still think it was me you saw? You should have come and said hi! :)
