My hat collection...

Hey Sweeties! 

Hats, hats and hats I love them. Whenever I go into a department store I always try them on I swear the staff at Debenhams are like 'Oh god she's back'. I don't ever care what I look like in them it's fun! 

I never really wore hats until I started 6th form, where there was no uniform, you could wear what ever you'd like.

 I've bought 3 hats in the past month so I thought I'd share my collection, however small it is unfortunately.

1. £10 Simply Be 2. £4 Primark
 3. £5 Matalan 4. £8 Primark
5. River Island £8 6. £2 (sale) Matalan

I've been nominated for the Liebster award by the lovely Kirsty over at Just Like Heaven!
Thank you m'dear!

Kirsty's Questions...

Why did you decide to start blogging?

I wanted to create something that I could look back on and see how I've developed as a person and in life.

Were you a trouble-maker or a good kid in school?

I wasn't really a trouble maker, I got a few detentions for not doing my homework but that was about it.

 What are your favourite TV shows?

It'd have to be the ones in fact 11. Grey's Anatomy, True Blood, NCIS, Castle and Rizzoli & Isles.

Do you prefer dressing for summer or winter?

Defiantly summer.

What is your natural hair colour?

Light Brown.

If you could wish for one book/tv/film/comic universe to be real which would it be? (Weird question I know but I’m dying to go to Hogwarts haha)

Haha, I'd love to go to Hogwarts too! I am a member of Pottermore. I'd love the Hunger Games to be real, but I'd be living in The Capitol though not the Districts.

What one thing do you want to achieve within the next year?

To finally have a tattoo done for my Grandad. Now that I have a job, I should be able to save enough for it.

Have you ever had any embarrassing hair/make-up/wardrobe disasters? Do tell :)

When I was 6 my cousin and I decided to play hairdressers. She got a pair of real scissors and started to cut. I had long hair, so one side was long and the other short, in the end I had to get a mushroom cut.

What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?

Abseiled down a steep cliff, I was pooping myself! I actually stood in cow poo before I done it so that was all I could smell on the way down.

What beauty/hair product do you swear by?

Lush's Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo. Made with Lemons and Beer, gives an amazing shine and smells great.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

There are many places I want to travel, but right now I want tickets to Hong Kong to see my dad since he now lives out there. I haven't seen him for 4 months.

With Love,

Discount night...

Hey Sweeties!

On the 2nd of October 2012 at the Eldon Square Shopping Centre, pandemonium struck.

Yes, it was that one time of year where the many students of Northumbria and Newcastle University flocked to get ....

DISCOUNTED CLOTHES! 

So ready with our Uni ID's Chloe, Yasmin, Josh and I headed to town to spend money what little money we had.

Many shops got involved such as Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Republic, River Island, Fenwicks, Levi's, Accessorize, Topshop, All Saints and many more! All offering discounts from 10-30% off.

Ok, it wasn't much of a discount but a discount non of the less! They first held this event last year which must have been successful or they wouldn't have done it again. 

Some friends went last year and from some of the stories I heard, I was expecting it to be manic, women pulling a leg each of the last pair of jeans in a certain size, shoes flying all over, grabbing clothes from everywhere like in the movies? 

But it really wasn't.

Plenty of students did turn up but I thought there would be a lot more than there actually was. Most of the main stores were busy like River Island and Topshop, you just seen boyfriends sitting in the corner with bags full or literally following their girls around holding hangers. In every shop, we waited about 20-30 minutes in each queue. 

I only bought a few things as I really couldn't be bothered to keep hunting around and getting barged into every two seconds.

 The hat is from River Island was £10 to £8. My friend persuaded me to buy I'm still a little unsure if it suits me or not. It's a tad too big at the back.

The Cross vest is from New Look Inspire which was £12.99 to £8.75 I think. I couldn't be bothered to try anything on so when I came home I found the 18 a bit too tight so I went back the next day and got a 22. The baggier then better I think.

I did buy a dress from Dorothy Perkins, but when I got home it was the wrong size as it was on the wrong hanger. So annoying when that happens!

To be honest I was buying for buying sake really, poor bank.

Also on a different day I bought a much need Organiser.

I really do have a thing for Union Jacks =)

 This was £11 from Paperchase. I love the pockets inside.

I think that's my procrastination done for the day, I have copious amounts of assignments to do as I've just started my level 3 on top of my already level 4 in childcare, bit backwards but hey, ho! 

With Love,
