Stop apologising for the things you've never done

Outfit:
Black bodysuit - Topshop
Electric blue and black pleated maxi skirt - Primark
Black 3/4 length cardigan - Primark
Tribal style sandals - Primark
Silver tassle necklace - Snoopers Paradise

I wore this outfit this week to work. I am loving choosing what to wear everyday, dressing smart excites me haha! I feel like a professional! I am in love with this skirt, it's not perhaps the most flattering of things but it is so comfy. And it swishes when I walk. Always a plus in my book! I think this is one of my favourite outfits to wear lately. I am looking a bit radioactive so maybe I should lay off the fake tan for a little bit haha!

I have nearly completed my first week on my internship and I am really enjoying it. Its such an eye opening to learn new things. I am not coping very well with the tiredness that comes with commuting but I am sure I will get used to it in a few weeks. I had my first piece published online this week :) I always get so excited when I see my name in the byline, I dont think that will ever wear off! It makes me feel so proud that something that I have written was good enough for the world to see!

I am getting so frustrated with blogger. I cannot comment on blogs nor follow anyone. Hopefully this will clear up soon as I have so much I want to say and I want to reply to all your lovely comments!


On a side note how long is my hair getting? Mad! I don't quite know what to do with it, looking like a lions mane!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. I am off to stuff my face at Prezzos and watch hangover 2 tomorrow. Looking forward to staring at Bradley Cooper for a few hours!

A little vintage spree

I aquired some goodies when I visited Brighton, it is hard not to considering the amount of beautiful vintage shops in the area. I did not buy nearly as much as I wanted too as I only had a £20 budget but I am very pleased with what I managed to find!

Vintage red and black floral cotton scarf - This baby was only a £1 so obviously it had to be made mine. I loved the fact that this was massive as most of my vintage scarfs are only really suitable for my hair. It is also made with cotton so its perfect for the summer months when it gets a bit chilly in the evening. It was from Snoopers Attic, upstairs in Snooper Paradise. The vintage was beautiful if not a tad overpriced. I cannot justify £65 for a dress with holes.

Silver tassel Topshop Necklace - This is a find from Snoopers Paradise but it's not vintage. I recognised it from a few years back in Topshop. I dont really have silver costume jewellery and I loved the tassel. It was only £3 which I thought was very reasonable. I could have come away with armfuls of jewellery but managed to refrain myself. Just.Vintage brown faux croc leather handbag - I adore this bag, I have started to build up a collection of Kelly bags. I thought it was perfect for going out as sometimes a Kelly bag can look a bit clumpy with a pretty dress. It is in perfect condition and was only £12. In fact I dont think it has ever been used!Models Own nail art pen - Obviously this was not a vintage find but I spotted this in Urban Outfitters and now I have stopped biting my nails I want to be a bit braver with how I decorate them. I am going to sit down one day this week and try and attempt leopard nails. Wish me luck!

I hope everyone has had a fab Bank Holiday, what did you get up too?

I spent the day in Clacton gambling my money away in 2p machines and then stuffed myself silly on ribs and seafood.

Brighton - Don't be jel

Beware this is an extremely picture heavy post! I have just got back from an amazing few days in Brighton and am currently in bed and do not intend to move. I am seriously too old to drink two days on the trot now.

I found out that TOWIE has a massive impression on the population of England. One mention of the word Essex and it was all reem, jel and vajazzle. I have never been prouder to be an Essex girl haha! I have seriously never laughed so hard in my life, I dont think we ever stopped. It was such a brilliant few days. I even managed to convince my friend who thinks vintage is "disgusting smelly old people clothes" to spend the day rummaging in the huge amount of vintage shops. It was just a shame I only had a £20 limit but I still managed to nab some goodies which i'll do in a post tomorrow :) Snoopers Paradise is my idea of heaven, I have now realised that I will have a junk house haha! My friend even bit the bullet and brought a vintage bag and scarf. My next mission is to drag her to car boots!I met up with one of my old sixth friends who moved down to Brighton to go to Uni and never came back home. He took us for a bit of a pub crawl around the North Laines and then we ended up going back to his friends house in Kemptown. I made a very good impression when I kicked a glass of wine over as I stood up. Obviously you can take the girl out of Essex but not the Essex out of the girl! We ended up having a mad night with lots of dancing and singing in a club on the seafront. Isn't my best friend a beauty? :)
Thanks to everyone on twitter who suggested places to go, they were all so good. The Angel Food Bakery was so amazing we went back twice so we could take some home. I have just polished off the lemon cupcake this very minute.

We went to this amazing bar called Font which was a old converted church. I did feel a bit weird at first getting my rave on in a church haha! The DJ was in the pulpit and it still had the pews dotted around.

My friend Scott with all the inside knowledge and who kept insisting on buying shots!
I have decided that nothing beats getting all glammed up and dancing like an idiot to Teenage Dirtbag with your best friend.
