Velvet

Now I love Velvet, I bust out the velvet dress every christmas. Once Ive got it on I know that Christmas is only round the corner. However not very many people share my love for velvet and I cannot for the life of me understand.
Especially where there are velvet beauties like this:

I think I might have let out an internal squeal when I saw this in Look magazine. How beautiful is that statement shoulder? It goes perfectly with her hair and the pale skin really sets it off. It just screams Christmas party at me! I think its the best dress i've ever seen Nicola Roberts wear and she always looks stunning. I have no idea where it is from, any ideas? I need to know if it is within my budget!

Here are a few velvet beauties that really are prefection.

TBA - £105. (In the sale believe it or not!)

French Connection - £95

Asos - £12 (Im in love with crushed velvet!)

Asos - £6 (Id feel like Lady Gaga!)

I've handed all my work in now so I can now relax until the New Year and look forward to my work experience at Nuts! Magazine at the end of next month. Im rather excited about that. Ill be working right next to the Tate and will be able to go to Borough Market in my lunch hour so life will be good!

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.


Outfit:
Cardigan: Next
Top: Topshop
Skirt: Primark
Tights: Primark
Watch: Next
Brogues: Primark

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!
