Inbetween

Sorry for the lack of posting, my sweets! I was about to upload my latest pictures for a post, i realised that everything is packed. Everything. Including my camera lead. Boohoo. So, this will be my last post at home, yikes! I am Southampton bound tomorrow evening, staying in Winchester on Sunday night so we can beat the traffic and make it to my accommodation for mid morning Monday, before a long day ahead.

It's actually terrifying that i'm leaving tomorrow and tonight is the last night in my bed for a while, blimey, but like i keep telling myself i'm ready for the change.. I think. Keep your fingers crossed for me and i'll get you up to speed on the other side!

ps. Alice, i haven't forgotten you! Your card is winging it's way to Southampton with me tomorrow and i'll blog about in my next post, because it's far to sweet amazing to pass by!

A/W

Just a little outfit post for some amusement! I literally have about three bottoms to choose from this week, two of which are shorts, as everything is packed! It's very frustrating. BUT! I'm making the best of a very bad, very annoying, very clothes-less situation!

Shorts: New Look | Top: New Look | Cardigan: H&M | Scarf: H&M | Tights: New Look | Necklace: Miss Selfridge | Socks: H&M | Pumps: Cath Kidston

Such versatile, easy to wear shorts, they literally go with everything which is probably why i left them out! I love these Cath Kidston pumps, i picked them up for a snip of the price at an outlet. They just brightened up my outfit as it was otherwise a little lacklustre.

If i could also pinch a second of your time, i've entered the F&F Tesco A/W Competition and i'd really appreciate a vote! You can find my entry here.

A Week In #2

- So, here i am again! I tell you, at the moment my emotions are on a rollercoaster! I was very down at the beginning of the weekend, but by the time i came to read all my new comments on Sunday morning, you lovely ladies made my mood sky rocket! Through blogging i have honestly met some of the nicest people, and i cannot wait to attend a blogger meet up to meet you all! My tweeties really know how to keep me up beat, thank you to those that made me smile on Friday night especially Emma over at The Daisy Chain & Fiona at Sugar For My Honey, they really helped me grin!

- The fact that it is now ONE WEEK until i move down to Southampton is probably having the biggest impact on my emotions, things that aren't as big as they seem are flared up because my mind is a buzz with the impending move and that is really not helping me sleep. However, my wonderful girls are keeping me up beat, but probably more likely that we're all just panicking together! I'm so lucky to have already met the most fabulous ladies, we're all keeping each other positive and picking up one another when they're down. I'm more than excited to start living the next chapter of my life, to do my own thing and really become the person i want to be. This past week has given me space and time to think, and it's just helped me realise that this move is such a brilliant decision so i can grow and blossom.

- The Mr being in China is also most likely impacting my lack of sleep, and i'm now just becoming more crabby that i previously was, but nevermind onto bigger and better.

- Unfortunately, some of the other Aussie winners haven't received their packs yet so we have to wait until tomorrow for the next part of the challenge. I'm quite looking forward to it, despite not having a clue what it entails! To be honest, i'm just chuffed that they considered my reason good enough to be picked. I'm really loving my Aussie products so far, i'd highly recommend them and frankly they smell divine!

- The nails in my photo are: Rimmel Black Cherries & 17 Glitter Top Coat and Rimmel Euphoria and it's my new favourite combo; light and dark! I have been loving brightly coloured nails for the past few weeks, but maybe my nails are now beginning to match my mood! Euphoria is a relatively new purchase for me, and i absolutely love it. It's one of those colours that every way you turn your nail, you see a different shade, such a lovely autumnal colour.

- I couldn't not take a photo of the forth coming storm on Saturday evening in the Lincolnshire countryside. We'd been visiting family, as my cousin has just had the most beautiful baby girl (Erin Rose for those that are interested, pictures to follow when i have been sent them!) As the dutiful honorary Auntie, i had my cuddle and she's absolutely to die for. So docile and chilled out, didn't cry once such a happy baby! When we came to leave, the weather was turning for the worst but it was so odd as where we were was just getting dark, not cold or wet, but in the distance you could see the pouring rain, the ash grey skies and the odd concentration of sunlight lighting the otherwise gloomy sky. Almost felt like twilight.

- Those are just a fraction of my nicely organised boxes, full to the brim with university essentials. I'm sure i have too much 'stuff' but frankly, i'd rather have it than not. I have plenty of bits to make my room mine and enough equipment to make sure i'm never without anything! Perfect. I'm sure i'm taking too many clothes, but when you're used to such a selection it's hard to not have it! My room is now looking a little bare and having to live in a pair of denim shorts for most of the week as my clothes are packed too! I always was known as the organised one..

To finish off this longer than expected Week In post, i'll show you a few purchases made recently!

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner | 17 Lasting Fix Lipstick in Honey Blossom | Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation in Ivory 1 | Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara in Ultra Black | 17 Hideaway Concealer in Fair | Collection 2000 Colour Intense Trio in 10. Fondant Fancy | Barry M Wink Black Marker Pen For Eyes | Collection 2000 Eyebrow Definer Lasting Colour in 3 Blonde | Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Pencil in 064 Stormy Grey

Last but not least!

Aren't they beautiful!? Purchased for the Mr's brother's wedding in december, perfect winter heel with plenty of grip! Perfect.

Happy Aussie-versary!

Now, i don't believe i told you but i was lucky enough to be the winner of an Aussie Party Pack over on Kirsty's blog, FashionChampagne, because i have something worth celebrating!

"I've got into University, to my first choice and am moving out in a matter of weeks! Eeek, to being a grown up but if that's not something to celebrate, i don't know what is! :)"

I have always been intrigued and fascinated by the Aussie brand and of all the 'Aussie Angels'. They're events are amazing, and they just seem to put their heart and soul into branding, which i love. So, winning this was just brilliant! And through my door, this morning, popped my party pack!

Heart Sparkler | Popping Candy | Sunglasses | Aussie Flip Flops | Party Poppers | Limited Edition Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor Deep Conditioner

I'm over the moon to receive the 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner, as after watching a past video on Emma's Blog, Oh Really?, she recommended it highly to help damaged hair, and as i'm having a bit of a nightmare with mine at the moment (and it's really not in the best condition, thanks bleach) i really wanted to give it a go. I almost bought it yesterday, but ended up just buying the other product she suggested, Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner, so i am more than pleased to receive this product!

The next part of the competition is to be revealed to us, via email, on Monday at 1pm (on the dot) UNLUCKILY i'm meeting a few friends for lunch at 1 on Monday, so i'm hoping that i can either postpone the date a little or do whatever they ask of us over my Blackberry! We're in with the chance to win 9 tickets to the Aussie VIP Party in October, and that would be amazing so i'll do whatever it takes!

Mush & Gush

Before i get onto the mush & gush, just wanted to share with you a quick outfit post of my new beauties. I could NOT wait to get these on, and they do not disappoint. They're insanely comfortable and are pretty cool in the process! (So i'm getting my comfort kicks while looking fab, win win!) I got plenty of compliments on them today, including one either drunk or just loud man shouting "I like yer pants love, but are you actually american?" Hmm. Yes. Well. At least i'm causing a stir!

Shorts: Topshop | Jumper: Next | Tights: Tesco | Necklace: Miss Selfridge | Bag: New Look

I really like this little number, and i'm pretty sure i've proclaimed my love for this jumper on Legs before, it just felt like a comfortable combo but i also felt quite myself, a little funky (are you allowed to use the word funky now?) It was just the perfect outfit for mooching around Cambridge with my lovely ladies.

I spent the day with my friends from college Jess, Lisa & Katie. I've barely seen them this summer, as we've all been doing our own thing and were never all around at the same time, so it was brilliant to finally get together before we all depart! It was a lovely day full of chatter, browsing, shopping, lunching and girl time, which we haven't done for ages. Perfect. When it came to the goodbye, it was a little emotional! I love my girls, and they've done so much for me. I'm closer to these few than people i've known for years, they mean so much to me and i have to thank them for being the brilliant and beautiful ladies i know and love.

Now we're onto the mush, i have to say that over the past couple days i've some of the lovliest comments, and it has honestly restored my faith in good people. I only think about writing for myself, so to know that it means something to someone else is just amazing. You've really made me week, ladies, and i can't thank you enough! To top THAT off, the lovely Holly over at Galaxy Glamour has put me up for a blog award (that is now sitting happily in my sidebar!) I'm over the moon, as it really shows that people like what i'm doing! So thank you Holly, it's ever so kind of you! I've never had one before, and i understand there are rules so here they are!
