i like paris, and the beautiful scenery. i like history. i like glossy magazines. i like sunbathing on sandy beaches. i like uniqueness. i like the idea of graduating in two years. i like kate winslet. i like quotes that fit my life. i like sunsets. i like perfection. i like handbags. i like kryptonite. i like spending money. i like gladiator sandals. i like cute guys. i like people that make me smile. i like receiving hugs. i like my own time. i like laughter fits. i like how life has changed, more so than i thought it ever would.

deep thoughts

sat here back at home, i've suddenly started thinking about this past year at university. it's rather quite scary to think about how quickly my first year has gone, and i can honestly say that it still feels like only yesterday i was moving into halls. how time flies when you're having fun i suppose! i'm quite sad that i won't be living in hamwic next year, as i've grown to love my room and my flatmates, and i'm really not ready to leave it quite yet. i remember in my first ever lecture, my lecturer saying first year will fly by and me clearly thinking she was just bluffing, well, look where i am now. i have literally not even a month left before we finish for good. how the hell am i going to be a second year so soon?

i've changed a hell of a lot as well, and i love being so independent. i've grown in confidence and i've also made some truly amazing friends since i've been in southampton. i love my course, and i hope second year is just as memorable as first year was. to be honest, i've never believed in the quote "life is way to short", more so than i do right now.

so this post is to my amazing first year at university, the amazing friends i've made and the amazing, memorable and also quite messy nights we've succumbed to. something i'll definitely never forget ♥

My Style Inspiration #2

Kate Winslet, has been, and always will be, my style icon. It seems that whatever outfit she chooses to wear, be that stunning dresses on the red carpet, ranging from Ben de Lisi to Yves Saint Laurent, to dressed down trousers and vest, she always looks naturally beautiful. She has the amazing ability to pull off pretty much anything, outfits that wouldn't suit anyone else just looks perfect on her. I'm insanely jealous of the clothes she has possession of, and can only dream of owning the clothes and shoes she has. She's natural, adorable, gorgeous, and a traditional English Rose. Even though she's in her early 30's, Kate still looks as good now as she did ten years ago. She will definitely continue to be a true style icon in years to come.

Guilty Pleasures

After seeing this brilliant idea on someone else's blog, I decided to give it a shot as well, let you dwell in my life :) how do you plead?

♥ Crisps. They are my total weakness and downfall, and although I don't eat as much as I used too, I just can't get enough of them to be honest.

♥ Michael Buble. Do I need to say anymore?

♥ Getting overexcited about the little and simple things, and probably looking like a little kid!

♥ When I used to go on Facebook, I used to join all the groups that related to me. All the time.

♥ Reading everything that is related to Kate Winslet. Definitely my girl crush!

♥ Spending too much money in New Look. That shop has definitely improved.

♥ Moaning about every single thing in my life, it's just a habit I can't break. Everyone tells me to stop it, but then they always say they love me for it. That's just who I am!

♥ Crying at Titanic every single time I watch it. Not afraid to admit that! Oh, and I also cried like a baby when I watched Marley & Me! So so sad.

♥ Ordering the same thing everytime I get Chinese when I go home, definitely a guilty pleasure.

♥ Watching Come Dine with Me all the time. If I could watch it 24/7, I probably would.

♥ Overusing exclamation marks all the time, I can't seem to help it.

♥ That's me :)

My style inspiration #1

Ever since Dannii Minogue started working on the X Factor, I've fallen in love with her fashion sense. Every single outfit she puts together just works beautifully. From cute prom dresses to super gorgeous maxi dresses, every outfit I am insanely jealous of. She's grown into a true style queen, and she's so adorable and quirky. I also love how she can completely pull off the quirky and unique outfits that probably wouldn't suit anyone else, and then mixes it all up to look absolutely stunning on the red carpet. She's a true fashionista.

new skirt

i bought this new skirt on wednesday from primark, and it was only £9, what a total bargain! i love it because it's got super cute bows all over it, and a huge bow across the top of the skirt as well. can't really see it that well in this picture, but trust me! anyway, it's high waisted which I was a bit dubious about at first, but then when I put it on with the rest of my outfit, I realised that it all goes really well together. I wore it out for nicole's early birthday celebrations, where we went to tgi fridays. i've dressed it down with flats, as i hardly ever wear heels, but I think it would look cute with black heels as well though. anyway, I thought I would post this as I just love it, although it's a really bad picture of me, and my room is a total mess :)
