What I've been up to...

I've been a busy bee just recently. I've been updating my portfolio and sticking in my work which is a massive effort, but being the geek that I am - I fully enjoy scrapbook projects and its really satisfying having a book full of all my achievements, makes me proud to see how much work I've had published at just the age of 17. I really feel that this year, career wise has been amazing. I've learnt so much about the industry and I just can't wait to get my self out there in the fashion world!

Ok so the top left picture is a little random, but I just thought I'd show you a picture of my extremely tidy room, as I have a slight OCD when it comes to my bedroom!

Any of my followers from Newcastle?! - At the start of next month, I'm off down there for the weekend to go on a university open day with my sister and then spend the weekend with my boyf (He lives there!!). I'm really excited because I haven't had chance to go down there yet and I have family up there too, so it should be good. I plan on finishing off my Christmas shopping there so I can make a proper weekend of it.

Not going to lie, my life seems so boring recently, all I'm ever doing is saving up and it is such a bore; meaning no fashion reviews for a while :-( . I would however like to inform you all that I am getting an Iphone at the end of this week which i am very excited about. This means my posts will be more frequent and you will all be able to stalk me on Instagram, yay!!!

winter frost bite!

This weekend was pay day at work, which is obviously my favourite thing ever and I was treated especially well this month, because I worked more hours than normal due to Halloween - meaning more $$. However, being the dreadful person I am, the next day day I intended on going Christmas shopping buuuut you know how it is. There were several items I had my heart set on all month and therefore had to purchase them. I came to an agreement in my head that I would spend half of the money on my self and the rest on buying presents and luckily I stuck to this little arrangement. 

First of all I headed to Topshop (of course) and spent a dismal £80 in there all on my self. The picture in the top left shows me modelling some of my purchases. Don't judge me ok, I'm totally into this whole army trend but I refuse to buy a Camo jacket simply because of the stigma attached. I would rather not be referred to as a 'hipster' thank you very much, however I think this plain army print tee deemed more acceptable, as well as keeping on trend. Absolutely loving my spiked necklace which I got in the sale for £3.50, just call me a bargain hunter! Anyways, the shopping trip was successful and I got everything I went for. 

Sooo...is anyone else feeling the cold as much as I am. Pretty sure my entire body went numb last night at the fireworks display?! Not impressed. However, i only have my self to blame for not wearing gloves - because don't get me wrong, winter is definitely my favourite season! I absolutely love the whole wrapping up warm and the run down to Christmas. I especially love winter fashion - I genuinely really dislike summer fashion, its so tacky; to me fashion is all about layers and accessories and how can you possibly do that when its sizzling hot? Anyone else get any bargains this week or go to a bonfire?
