Ready for the weekend

It's been my first full week at college now and it's going well. But I couldn't wait to have some free time to catch up on tv or whatever that I've missed. I ended up watching The Bletchley Circle yesterday and it's so good!
This weekend should be productive though, I'm going to:
1. Go out with my friend because she's getting her first tattoo
2. My auntie's because she's having a party and all the family are invited
3. Start reading The Road, the book I have to read for English literature
4. Finish any work that I need to do
5. And relax, hopefully!

College

First of all I should probably apologise to anyone that actually reads my blog, I haven't done anything on here in the past few months. Mostly because I was busy with school, revising for exams and just trying to relax. Well I ended up passing my GCSE's and got 2 A*'s, 6 A's and 3 B's which I'm so pleased with. After school, I enrolled into college so I've just started my first full week and it's really nerve wracking. It's only been a few days though so there is plenty of time to settle in and get to know people. I don't know why but I always find it really hard to speak to people and make new friends. That is probably the only interesting thing that is going on right now except...
Oh, you never guess what?! I'm off to New York for a week in October and I can't wait, trying to save up money and plan everywhere we're going to visit. So exciting!
If anyone has any advice or places that I definitely need to go see please let me know.

Shopping over Easter

Sorry that I haven't posted in absolutely ages but there just wasn't anything interesting going on or nothing that I wanted to post about. Anyway over the Easter holidays I've done a lot of shopping and thought I'd post about the things that I've bought, mainly in Manchester where I went for the day and the Metrocentre in Newcastle. I did order my prom shoes from Office which are the Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Platfrom heels which you can see in the image below, they're amazing, so comfy and match so perfectly with my prom dress because my dress is a bright red colour exactly like the shoes.

You can buy these shoes from here.
Right so I went to Manchester on Tuesday at the Trafford Centre, it was really good as I've never been there before and we decided to go. There were so many shops but if you live in the North East like me it did seem a bit pointless travelling all that way because you can find the same sort of shops more locally. But anyway we had a really good shop as you can see from all the bags.

I bought a Parma Violet candle from John Lewis' which is to die for. From Hollister I bought some sweatpants and the amazing perfume which just smells like the shop in a bottle mmm. From Selfridges I purchased a MAC lipstick in the colour Lovelorn, its a beautiful pale bubblegum pink. In River Island I purchased 2 pairs of brogues in the sale, a patent black pair and a leopard print pair. Unfortunately I had to return the leopard print pair which I was gutted about because one shoe was a size 5 and the other was a 7 so back they went. I bought a random lip balm from The Body Shop in the flavour Guava which is lovely. I ended up getting some Levi jeans which I absolutely adore! If you are looking for the perfect pair of jeans I highly recommend you get some Levi's as they're so comfy but are a bit pricey if you can't afford them. Also from Topshop I purchased this lovely top which has a kind of rib cage print on and flowers. I cannot wait to wear this with tights and things but it is quite long so you can just wear it as a t-shirt dress.
These next pictures are the things that I bought in the Metrocentre.

 Black and white sheer shirt: £10 Primark

 Blue vest: £3 and Blue star pyjama bottoms: £5 Primark

 White vest: £3 and spotty pyjama bottoms: £5 Primark

 Cream lace skater dress: £15!!! Primark

 Mens green hoodie: £12 Primark

 Mens Jessie J t-shirt: £8 Primark

 Multi row necklace: £4.25 and spike earrings: £3.75 Topshop

 Knitted jumper: £12 Primark

 Moustache t-shirt: £20 Topshop

 Blue spot vest: £3 and blue spot pyjama bottoms: £6 Primark

 MAC lipstick in Runaway Red from Shop MAC collection

 Burgundy Converse: £39.99 Office

Here you can see my old and new Converse, I needed a new pair as my old ones were getting really small and giving me blisters but my new ones are perfect.
Later on in the week I did buy some other jewellery from Topshop which were all in the sale and then I got the H&M riding style pants, they weren't as fitted as I thought they'd be but they are a nice alternative to regular leggings and a cheaper version of the American Apparel disco pants. I have also been really debating whether or not to buy the zebra print Creepers obviously by the original brand Underground. Does anyone recommend these or have been thinking the same as me? Please let me know. I'll also try and post more but I do have a lot of exams coming up next month and the month after so hopefully I'll find time between revising and trying to not stress out to post some updates etc.

Take a picture of them

Have a few photos from the past few days. I bought some snow spray from WHSmith and it's pretty cool, I put some snowflakes on my window which you can see below.
I finally got my black fur coat today from Topshop, omg it's amazing!! I was so pleased when I found it and managed to get 20% off it because the belt wasn't on it so dug out a belt from my wardrobe which is similar and it looks great. Had a lovely bubble bath tonight aswell and it was so relaxing, I love it when the water temperature is just right and there's something about candles in winter that makes everything feel cosy.

Fur coats

I am actually dying to get my hands on a faux fur coat preferably in black or leopard print, they're in all the shops and they never seem to do my size and it annoys me so much. There's some amazing ones in Topshop and loads on eBay that are similar so I'm going to have to keep my eye out. Hopefully I'll have one by the time Christmas comes. If anyone has any ideas of other places I can look, please let me know.

Hush, Hush

I've just finished reading this amazing book by Becca Fitzpatrick and it only took me 4 days, I couldn't put the thing down. It reminded me a little of Twilight in the beginning but as I read on I realised this book was original and the idea of fallen angels was just brilliant. I recommend that anyone should read this and make sure you pay close attention to the Prologue. I'll be popping to the shops tomorrow to get the sequel Crescendo and hopefully I'll have read that by the end of next week. There is also a third book out in hardback and the fourth book is due to be released sometime next year, I can't wait! If anyone is a big fan of this book saga, I'd love to know your thoughts on it all because I've only just finished the first book.

Day off

I've had such a nice day today. Although I woke up really early at half 7, I got up, had a shower and got ready. I then decided to make a cake using this recipe. It tastes so much nicer than it looks aswell. Me and my mum went out to do some christmas shopping and I'm almost sorted, just need some presents for my dad and bits and bobs for my friends then I'm done yey. Had a lovely meal at Frankie & Benny's too. So here is a couple of photos.

Christmas

These are a some of the things that I'd just love for Christmas. I love the burgundy velvet dress from Topshop and it's sold out on the internet which is shame as I can't find it any shop. I doubt I will be getting the camera so that is a wish more than likely.

LEEDS

I went to Leeds on Sunday with my mum and dad, we just fancied a day out shopping and we thought it would be quieter on a Sunday. Anyway, it was a really nice day out and I got some new jeans from Topshop, a new pair of leggings because its starting to get cold and some stuff from The Body Shop.

At the start of our day we went into the Dr Martens shop, it is amazing, I tried on these amazing boots and I so wish that I'd got them. They have fur inside and they will be ideal for winter. Hmm looks like I'll have to get saving or put them on my Christmas list.

Brown or Black?

I also love these beauties.

I'm loving this cranberry/burgundy colour at the moment, whichever shop you go in you'll always find some nice pieces in this colour and it is also the perfect colour for autumn/winter.

New bedroom

I got my bedroom done at the beginning of October, me and my friend painted one wall a green/blue colour and the rest magnolia and omg, I love it! My mum ordered me a Laura Ashley bed and we bought all the bedding to go with it and some gorgeous curtains from there aswell. I think the Laura Ashley stuff is just so nice and my bedroom just feels so cosy now. It also feels as if I should have got a double bed a long time ago because it just looks so good and I can just relax in bed and do whatever I do.

I've been selling some more stuff on eBay so I'll finally be able to get rid of loads of clutter, I still need to tidy my whole wardrobe and sort out my drawers because there is just stuff in my room that I hardly wear and there is no point in keeping it because it will only stay there and gather dust.

Latest Disney obsession

Well I decided to create a canvas painting for one of my friends, she absolutely loves Ariel and I thought it will be nice for her for Christmas although I have given her it early. It took me about 2 weeks or so and I'm really pleased with it. Here is some kind of step by step pictures, please let me know what you think.

When I started doing this I had a real craving to watch all the Disney movies again so I salvaged some and started watching them. My favourite is definitely Beauty and the Beast, don't you think Chip is just so cute?
