Heya guys, Happy Halloween ! better late than never! So here is a quick blog post about what I have been doing/wearing ect ect.. I have just got back from babysitting so am v v tiered so I'm sorry in advance if none of this makes sense aha Anyhow this is an outfit post I wore to Cambridge on tuesday. I got the monochrome dress when i was shopping in London a while ago and just thought it was an absolute bargain at £12.99 like whut?? They only had it in an XS though and although it fits it is rather tight around the neck which can get rather annoying. The top I made myself ages ago which i was planning to make a matching skirt with (I have the material and already have places a waistband in it) I just need to find some time to get round to it. Now for the pumpkin! When I first cut out the pieces I thought it wasn't going to look a thing like Walter White/Heisenberg (From the series Breaking Bad if you don't know what I'm on about) but then I put a tea light inside and BAM wolaaa it looks great! I was so so pleased with it deffo upped my game for next year! I was In London on Halloween looking at the 'Facing the modern: The portrait in Vienna' exaction at the Royal Academy and looking round the university Camberwell so felt pretty worn out by the end of the day so just went to sleep! boring boring aha I did however buy some lovaaay stuff from the shop Monki in London. I have been dying to visit it for a while now and always buy stuff from them online so thought it would be great to actually have the chance to try things on in store. As i imagined i would i ended up spending loads of money.. but how can you blame me when everything so god damn amazing and reasonably priced?? I might end up doing my first ever haul video scary stuff on youtube soon, would anyone be interested in watching it? Thanks !!
I swear all bloggers do is tell people they plan to blog more and never get round to it haha but that is infact what i have been saying and well i guess i'm going to have to say it again! Thankfully half term is just around the corner so that should give me some actual time praise! However I have masses of work that needs to be completed and alot of painting to get done so who knows i may just end up saying the same thing but hopefully not! Anyways a quick update to what I have been up to the past few weeks and below is a load of instagram photos that show some brief outfits ect ( my phones camera is really shite in advance) So where should I start? I have been going to many open days at the moment looking at art foundation courses and I must say I am completely stuck on Central St Martins like everywhere else I just don't feel the same :/ I have still got a few more to look at however so things may change plus I have camberwell to look round in two weeks which was another of my favourites but i do love love love st martins! plus Pulp! This weekend I went with my friend to Manchester 3 hour car ride and ended up looking at Manchester Met's foundation course which was okay. Afterwards I really wanted to look at the Northen Quarter as alot of people have mentioned it being good for vintage/quirky clothing however we didn't really have any time and my friend wanted to meet up with this guy so I'm planning to do a return visit when I have some money/passed my driving test! Aswell in Manchester we took a quick stop to look in Primark and saw a Henry Holland top on a primark hanger, It was so so odd and we just kinda stood and looked at it for a while like it didn't have tags or anything hmm I wonder what happened to it now! I did nevertheless see quite alot of amazing things in primark, such as jumpers and this lovely sparkly maxi skirt, although the que for the changing room was like a mile so didn't have time to get anything, but thank god im in Leeds this weekend so shall defiantly take time to look around again. Hopefully the pieces haven't sold out!
I also went to visit Loughborough University at the art foundation course which was super hard to locate as they had 0 signs and no instructions which meant I arrived rather late however I did look round and see the talk which was informative! They are very sporty and have wednesdays off for sport (something me and my mum found funny as I am probably the least sporty person ever) But overall they had lots of equipment and things which was good! Afterwards I went to Melton Mowbray to look around the charity shops and get a costa. I found the most wonderful fur jacket in one of the shops for £6 that looks alot like one I saw recently on meemee! Taking in mind me costa cost more than the actual jacket I thought I just had to buy it! The picture below doesn't really do it any justice as it has so many different colours in real life which you cant really tell in the photo (again terrible camera) I shall try and include it into an outfit of the day post soon so you should be able to see it properly!
I have been looking into student flats in London as the art University's tend to not have there own accommodation and I have seen a few that remind me so much of Fresh Meat (A TV program for anyone that doesn't know) and it's just making me so excited :D :D :D :D Oooo I forgot to mention I also went to look at UCA in London and finally got myself a winter coat (the one i had been dribbling at from topshop for agesss) So I will have less dagger nips which is always a plus haha and and and I couldn't resist buying this black and white striped body-con dress from H&M and an ornate necklace which together cost like £26 which I thought was pretty decent.
So yeah thats about all I can think of at the moment just been doing alot of work and thinking about half term now!

Had the most wonderful day in London yesterday. I decided to start my day by taking a visit to the Saatchi Gallery as it happens to be one of the few main art galleries in London that i haven't visited. As I got to the entrance I found that there was a market going on next to it that was selling all kinda of foods from around the world. I was pretty tempted to get a coconut with a straw as they looked adorable but i hate coconut milk so it would have been abit of a fail aha. Anyways I spent a good hour looking around the gallery, and to be honest it wasn't really my cup of tea! I think it's just because I'm not keen on the theme for the showing that they have on at the moment but thats not to say i wont like the others! As i left i was pleased to find there was a Zara right next to it! aha so i went and had a looked round. There were women with little sausage dogs on leads and Mulbery bags left right and centre, I felt like the cast of made in Chelsea were on there way! aha then again the place is not far from Chelsea ! I tried on a jumpsuit in there as im desperately trying to find one for my summer wardrobe but i had no luck :( Damn my small legs! I tried on a few more in Topshop on Oxford Street aswell but i just seem to be having no luck! plus there pretty over priced ! I spent most of the rest of the day shopping and met some lovely girls from New York in River Island where we ended up buying the same shoes! HERE Most of the high street chains also had live DJ's playing there sets ( I must say the one in Topshop was a person favourite with the old school R&B ). Overall It was a perfect day and i shall be going down to London alot more over the summer as its only £9 on a saturday! Woo Hooo!
