What a week and a half!

I promise i'll post properly later, I have a nail polish review for you all but first I have to ring my mother as she's just text me to tell me my sister has FINALLY, a week late, gone into hospital to have her baby. So exciting but also very sad that i'm all the way in Southampton and won't get to see my new little niece until Easter. Then I need to go out and buy a congratulations card and get that sent off along with two birthday cards for two of my nephew's who both are turning nine in February, and I need a newspaper. But I promise once that's done you shall get a proper post.

But first I thought i'd show you some photographs that i've taken over the last week and a half, you lucky things!

Ok so if you read my last post you'll know i've fallen in love with my new night cream but here's the body moisturiser I use too. Aveeno is completely natural and completely amazing. I'll post a review later this week for those who want to know more.

This is my Truly Madly Deeply college letter Tee, I love how oversized an comfortable it is.

Ahh the most beautiful French Macaroons from Cocoa in Brighton. They are from top to bottom, strawberry, pistachio and coffee. They are the cutest little French patisserie, if you're ever in Brighton then I would recommend a visit, they're just down from the train station.

My new Pastry's!! These are the trainers designed by Angela and Vanessa Simmons, and for those who are big fans of Run DMC or Run's House on MTV will know that they are the daughters of Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons. I've wanted them for so long and they were on sale in Foot Locker and I couldn't resist. My first pair of trainers in about seven or eight years, I think you'll agree I made a good choice!

This is a beautiful knee length vintage dress that I bought from the Frock Me vintage fair in Brighton a week ago. It was love at first sight and cost a tiny £10. It was most definitely coming home with me! I haven't had chance to wear it yet but that's mainly due to the fact that it has a silk lining which kind of makes me cringe so i'm thinking of either removing the lining or buying a vest so that it doesn't touch my skin.

Here's a couple more T-shirt's i've been wearing this week. The top one is by BOY London from Urban Outfitters, and the bottom one is by Lazy Oaf, I love it because it's Pierrot, even though no doubt i'll have to explain just who Pierrot is to most people!

And last but most definitely NOT least. You'll be pleased to hear that I FINALLY got my hands on some Swedish Hasbeens! Look how beautiful they are. As soon as they arrived I just sat on my bed wearing them for about an hour. And they are so comfortable! Even though I haven't yet worn them enough for the leather to soften, I'll put them on with an outfit in the next couple of days so that you can see the full affect.

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend.

Sack the photographer, the photographer's me.

Ok, so the first observation for today is that I need someone to take photo's for my outfit posts, I miss the fact that my mum or sister would always do it when I was at home. Second observation is that I need to stop taking photos of myself when i've not long got up after getting hardly any sleep due to my uncomfortable bed and boiling hot room. Especially when i've not had the time to hide eye bags before I leave the house, not a good look as i'm sure you'll agree! However, I will show you some snaps of what I wore today and tomorrow I will, fingers crossed, have roped someone else into the role of photographer.

I am wearing a floral shirt from Urban Outfitters with an old necklace, a black, jersey skirt and black leggings, both from H&M, socks from Topshop and boots from New Look.

I got a parcel from Lazy Oaf today so will be showing you what I bought from there in the next couple of days. There's also photographs from the Frock Me vintage fair to look forward to Sunday evening/Monday morning so be sure to keep an eye out for them!

Wish list

I make lots of little wish lists in my head, some of the items I manage to get but most unfortunately are very much out of my price range. These are the top three items in my mind at the minute.

Swedish Hasbeens
Not just any Swedish Hasbeens, these exact Hasbeens! Neutral peep toe super high. They cost £129 from Urban Outfitters and are exactly what my shoe collection is missing. The wonderful blogger Mademoiselle Robot often sports her Hasbeens and i'm always infinitely jealous.

The shoe fund starts once Christmas is out of the way and these are the only pair I want encasing my feet in 2011.

The Parka

The parka is back! This simple coat has so much history around it it has almost become as iconic as the people who launched its popularity time and time again. Mods, The Who, Oasis and now it seems everyone from Fearne Cotton to Jennifer Aniston wants in on this huge trend.

Who wouldn't want a parka, they're fashionable, comfortable, warm and practical! This one costs £70 and is from Oasis.

Leather Shorts

Leather is everywhere and in so many beautiful forms; T-shirts, dresses, skirts, bags, boots, coats, trousers... but my favourite leather item is these £140 pair of leather shorts from Urban Outfitters. Look how soft and comfortable they look!

And as an after thought, my three wish list items would look perfect together with a white T, some opaque tights and chunky knit socks!

Stop, woah yeah, wait a minute Mr. Postman

I love being woken up with a parcel, especially one i'm really looking forward to. So was super happy this morning when my Urban Outfitters parcel arrived. I'd ordered a t-shirt, some sunglasses and a purse in the sale. I can never resist a bargain!

I wore my t-shirt with black leggings and some cream and black heeled brogues from New Look. It's by Altru for Urban Outfitters and i'm sure all my ladies from my photography course will be jealous of the vintage camera design.

My lilac sunnies came in handy today too as my nephew's scratched my old favourite's and inbetween the rain today it was very sunny!

And now for my favourite thing that the postman delivered today. A brand new Wren purse I think you'll agree it is beautiful!

Now this was all very exciting, but my postman brought me another exciting thing today. As I received my ND Photography certificates the other day I am now finally able to apply for my accommodation at uni, and got the forms through today. Woo! Things are moving very quickly!

Time for change.

I said i'd get back to you when my second birthday present arrived and hoorah it has! And now a very beautiful gold, mini casio watch is adorning my wrist. I'd been gazing at it for months on the Urban Outfitters website so when my mum said she'd but me a watch for my birthday because my old one was so old the strap was starting to split and looking awfully scruffy, I was over the moon when she agreed to this one. And as you can see the website photograph doesn't do it justice at all. It truely is beautiful!

There were a few things I spotted in the Urban Outfitters sale too that were just too good to resist and while looking at them a purse, a t-shirt and some sunglasses accidently fell into the shopping basket and got paid for. Completely by accident of course. I won't spoil the suprise now but i'll upload a couple of photos when they arrive.

Anyhoo, must dash i've got a Rhubarb Crumble in the oven and tuna pasta bake to stick in!
