OOTD // Hudson Taylor at the Kings Cross St Pancras Renaissance Hotel

Last night I was ever so lucky to win tickets to see Hudson Taylor live at The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London as a warm up to their set at Glastonbury today. I've been a fan of Hud Tay for at least two years now and have never had the chance to see them. I'm so glad that I have finally had the opportunity - they were absolutely fantastic live!

OOTD // Walking the Norwich lanes

On Thursday I popped up to Norwich with Hannah (who I hadn't seen for ages!) It was such a lovely day, showing her around Norwich. It is crazy how I've lived there for 2 years and still have seen so little. Shopping definitely happened and a post for that will be uploaded soon!

New Look Jewellery Haul (and a Merry Christmas to all!)

Hello!

Today I popped into town to have lunch with Chris and exchange Christmas presents. We have a tradition every year that we buy each other a CD. My extensive music collection is mostly due to him introducing me to new bands and it has gotten to the point where I have more music than my phone can hold so I am having to make sure I only upload music that I listen to (goodbye old NOW albums!). This year I bought him Katy Perry's new album and he got me Jake Bugg's new album and now I am happy that I can finally put the album on my phone!

Anyway, I popped into New Look after lunch and ended up spending £14 on jewellery in New Look. Yes, FOURTEEN POUNDS and I got three pairs of earrings, three necklaces and a ring for £14. Crazy huh? I could have bought much more but I decided to to stop myself. That money was already put aside to pick myself up some Philosophy shower gel but who wants to smell like a honey bun past February (well, I would but I'm trying to make myself feel better!)

Wishlist // 13/12/13

Hello there!
I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted. If I am honest I have had such a hectic last month at university. After 8 lab reports, 5 course tests, 1 piece of quantum mechanics coursework, one essay on antibiotics, one Norwich Fringe show, one trip to Thorpe Park, Halloween, my birthday, three gigs and a couple of trips home I have finally home for Christmas!

I do have some big news - next year I will be studying at The University of British Columbia! Yes, I know! I can't believe it! It is all dependent on my grades, of course, but I am going to work so hard to get there. A year studying in Canada at a university which is in the top 30 in the world? How could I say no!

Anyway, I'm going to start my next 4 weeks of blogging heaven with a wish list!

I got this feeling on a summer day when you were gone (OOTD)

Wishlist - 13th May

ASOS Cape Dress with Button Front: Orange is not my colour at all but I am in love with the style of this dress. It's so cute and quirky and if they did it in a different colour I would 100% get this dress even if it is £50 (I almost cried). I might have to wait until a 25% student discount or something....

Black and Ivory Check Trouser: I'm loving graphic trousers at the moment. These are super cute and only £24 ('only', she says). Who knows if they look good on. I'll just have to try them and see!

High Heel Sandal with Ankle Strap: I usually hate silver shoes. I usually hate glittery shoes. For no apparent reason I am in love with these! They do look pretty comfortable but they are £39.99. If I ran into a sum of money (like won the lottery or something) I would probably buy these shoes. How lovely would they look with those check trousers? However, I'm not sure I can warrant a reason to buy these otherwise. It makes me sad.

Neon Yellow Cut Out Clutch: I have had a little obsession with neon colours at the moment. This is only £9.99 and if I see it in store I will definitely pick it up. If I don't end up using it as a clutch bag, I'll use it as a pencil case next year. Super versatile or what?

Black Cut Out Peep Toe Block Heel Ankle Boots: Recently, my old faithful studded boots from Primark have broken. By broken, I mean there is a hole in the sole. They've lasted since september so I can't really complain but I just spotted these and I love them! At £22.99 I am seriously considering buying them but the question is, black or brown?

So that's my wish list. Why do I do this to myself?
