You stood out like a sore thumb






Quick outfit post, this is what I wore to Uni today. I could not be bothered to do my face so I wore my glasses. Still not keen on having my picture taking whilst in glasses. Please excuse the extremely cluttered room, I realise this makes me look like a slob ha which would of course be true but shhhhhh.

I am feeling extremely smug today. I have completely all my uni coursework, bar the contents page and one research website because my printer at home is rubbish, and the deadline is not even until tomorrow. This time last year I was still frantically doing work at 4.55 so I have learnt my lesson. I cannot wait till stroll into uni at my leisure and hand in my work. All I have to worry about is making myself look beautiful for that evening as we are all going out to celebrate. Im dreading work the next day, ive got to get up at silly o'clock while extremely hungover and get a hour long bus journey into work. I could of course be sensible and not drink but really where's the fun in that?


I am now going to paint my nails pretty colours and snuggle under a throw to finally watch the first series of True Blood (I've borrowed the copy of my friend in the summer!) and wait for the boy to come round.

Music Monday - Well there's only so much drama I can stand

We are Scientists
These are another my of my favourite bands. Although I always shamefully seem to forget about them. Im listening to Itunes doing coursework, all be over soon thankfully, and they came on shuffle. I got all excited and made sure I played their albums back to front. I listen to them non stop for a few weeks then my fickleness comes out and I move onto another band and they are forgotten about once again. The cycle continues.
Ive been to see them three times and they have been absolutely amazing. They have such a good banter on stage and its so funny to watch. I like a band to include the audience in the set, Brandon Flowers dissapointed me because he did not talk to the crowd. Its nice to feel involved with the band and feel like they actually want to be there. We are Scientists really know how to get a crowd going.
They really are worth a listen. "Nobody move, nobody get hurt" is my favourite and you can't help singing along loudly to it.



The fact that one of the band members is called Keith Murray always makes me chuckle. Can you get a less rock star name? Dont let the name fool you though he is hot! Very easy on the eye haha!

I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

I love the sleeves on this dress. The little frills are so cute!
I finally got a full outfit shot, I roped my boyfriend into it (not without him moaning though). This is what i wore when i went out for noodles with the jazzacise group. Ive been very bad though not really been for the last two weeks, im not one for venturing out in the cold!

Bag: Gift

This is the first time ive tried red lipstick. I love red lipstick, it just provokes old hollywood glamour. I have a fetish for red nails and lips. I quite like it but I think I can find a better red. I might invest in a MAC lipstick. Im starting to prefer lipstick over gloss now. Anyone got a red lipstick that they reconmend?

This may be my new favourite dress. I spotted it the other whilst browsing Primark trying to waste time before work which is never a good idea. They only have two sizes and one was in my size so it must be fate. I snapped it up and stayed in that weekend haha! It is rather short and I could never go bare legged in it. But it has a pussy bow and polka dots so its a win win!

I also invested in some bumpits. I tried to make a mini beehive. It came out ok but I think I need to allow myself some more time. It was kinda rushed. I might try and prefect it once ive finish my coursework
