During a wander round the supermarket choosing food for <i>me</i>, drinks for <i>me</i> and clothes for <i>me</i>, all I saw was parents arguing with tired toddlers, grumpy couples marching down the aisles and single people. None of the single people looked particularly stressed or hurried. That's one of the beautiful things about being single: no one can rush you and everything is your own choice. It's the one time when being selfish is completely acceptable. You don't need to compromise, you don't need to constantly check in with someone and you don't need to worry. If you want to eat cake for breakfast then no one is going to stop you!<br />
<br />
Why am I writing this unusually personal post? Well, I had a moment of clarity. This moment was the result of a combination of things: excellent advice from best friends; the realisation of my own self-worth and the acceptance that sometimes I just make terrible choices. Everyone is entitled to make bad choices as long as you are able to recognise them before it impacts too heavily on you. It took me until the grand old age of 20*cough cough* before I actually realised that if someone doesn't make an effort or isn't too bothered about you then you shouldn't waste any more time hoping that they might <i>eventually </i>change or that they'll suddenly realise you're actually pretty damn good. Too late. If someone doesn't make you happy then don't bother.<br />
<br />
Getting together with someone shouldn't involve constant questioning or wondering if they like you. If they like you then it should be obvious. If you have to figure it out then they probably haven't even figured it out themselves. 'Too busy' actually means 'not all that bothered'. It shouldn't be difficult. All of the people I know who are with someone that they consider to be 'the one' haven't had to question things. It just happened naturally. <br />
<br />
Of course there are some downsides to being single. Everyone needs a cuddle sometimes. Luckily, I have a collection of super cuddly friends. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy my life, look forward to the trip of a lifetime (hello Thailand!) and work my socks off to get further in my career. The rest can wait until someone awesome comes along to convince me otherwise.<br />
<br />
I wish I'd realised this a couple of years ago so thought I'd share and (maybe) save another girl all the trouble of settling for things which don't work. Enjoy independence, selfishness and silliness!<br />
<br />

Super quick post today as I'm busy marking/making tea/cleaning my flat and listening to music.
Here's some of the things I've been loving recently. Hurry up summer!<br />

Wednesdays are usually good days. You've hit the middle of the week and you can feel the weekend edging closer. Any to-do lists are being done, you have plans to look forward to and the early mornings aren't as hard. Today was another good Wednesday for me. I've agreed to do a 5k for charity in June and have also acquired a lovely running partner to help motivate <strike>me</strike> both of us to actually do some exercise! Nothing like a big event and also a summer holiday to provide a reason to get fit. With that in mind, I've been using Tumblr and Pinterest to provide me with inspirational thoughts and pictures over the last weeks. I thought it was only fair to share them with you and keep others feeling positive until the weekend arrives!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ueMEO3NK5ng/UUDCdjm6bQI/AAAAAAAADYo/Tl3XIwi9Slc/s1600/tumblr_mhqrd958vK1rmv5pho1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ueMEO3NK5ng/UUDCdjm6bQI/AAAAAAAADYo/Tl3XIwi9Slc/s400/tumblr_mhqrd958vK1rmv5pho1_1280.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

The weekend has hit and everyone is getting excited. I'm at the end of half term so I'm feeling a little different. All of my fun has been had and it's time to get work finished off and lessons planned! I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person that can spend ages online looking at clothes but not actually buying them. Please tell me I'm not the only one! All of my spends are going on my travels to Thailand - I keep reminding myself it will be soooo worth it once I'm there.<br />
<br />
Here are a few different things I've been lusting after today:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">
<div style="position: relative;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/weekend_getaway/set?.embedder=1386696&.svc=copypaste&id=73232177" target="_blank"><img alt="Weekend getaway" border="0" height="673" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/exiAZPiRSUb4sO9UKEXD7A/cid/73232177/id/l9Zvcpr-QgquU-wZ5VioDQ/size/c600x673.jpg" title="Weekend getaway" width="600" /></a></div>
</div>
Admittedly, this is probably a strange outfit. Really expensive Prada bag with grungy clothes from <a href="http://www.hm.com/gb/?cm_mmc=adwords-_-uk-_-brand-_-h%26m&gclid=CMK0hdT6yrUCFZDKtAoduw8AOA" target="_blank">H&M</a>? Yeah, that about sums up my style and the things I love. Mixing the unexpected makes for the best outfits sometimes. Plus these boots BELONG on my feet. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">
<div style="position: relative;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/monocrome/set?.embedder=1386696&.svc=copypaste&id=73232785" target="_blank"><img alt="Monocrome" border="0" height="558" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/QKzCLJWsQZK5Hf9I0ZVF5w/cid/73232785/id/CsE7KhKaT5yYtB4Q_1sRaQ/size/c600x558.jpg" title="Monocrome" width="600" /></a></div>
</div>
This layout is just full of things I'd love to own. I wouldn't pair the <a href="http://www.missselfridge.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12554&catalogId=33055&geoip=home" target="_blank">Miss Selfridge</a> top and <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057" target="_blank">Topshop</a> skirt together (hello flesh overload) but I'd definitely wear them separately. The anchor bag is expensive but look how pretty it is! Oh and yes that is a Batman ring.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/shoe_love/set?.embedder=1386696&.svc=blogger&id=73233524" target="_blank"><img alt="Shoe love" border="0" force="1" height="422" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/5vHZKAVFPhsE0nSWsVNivw/cid/73233524/id/WKxX1v1tQtuf6Q6etXvAFg/size/c600x422.jpg" title="Shoe love" width="600" /></a></div>
</div>
<br />
Shoes. I honestly believe a girl can never have too many shoes. Your feet don't change size and eventually there will be an event that you can wear them to, no matter how ridiculous they may be. After watching the entire Sex and the City boxset, I have decided that I need a walk in wardrobe like Carrie. I won't apologise for my love of frivolity and silliness. If someone handed me lots of money and told me to buy some shoes I really wanted then here is what would happen.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Womens-Heeled-Booties-High-Heels-Block-Shoes-Platform-Chelsea-Ankle-Boots-Size-/251196696070?clk_rvr_id=445408444824&clk_rvr_id=453111876487" target="_blank">chunky brown ankle boots</a> are from <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ebay</a> and only cost £24. They look similar to the Topshop Allegras but with a bigger heel. Aldo sell the red wedge trainers and oh how they would look good paired with some leggings and a grungy top with blazer. I don't wear trainers often but I think I could make an exception for these. You can also see four pairs of shoes from a kind of birds eye view. They're all from <a href="http://www.zara.com/" target="_blank">Zara</a>. I love Zara so much but always wimp out when going to buy shoes because I think I could buy several pairs in a cheaper shop. Must remind myself that quality is better than quantity. Electric blue shoes please. <br />
<br />
Rather than signing off by telling you what I'm about to eat, I thought I'd <strike>brag</strike> tell you that I'm going to see Girls Aloud next weekend and I am ridiculously excited! Sorry to anyone near me who may be deafened by my screaming. No, really.<br />

Quick post today because I've been busy booking things for my travels in Thailand. I'm so excited that I can barely sit still!<br />
<br />
Here are a few beauties from <a href="http://www.asos.com/?hrd=1" target="_blank">ASOS </a>that might tickle your fancy. <br />

On Saturday the girls and I decided to head to <a href="http://aurorarestaurant.org/main/" target="_blank">Aurora restaurant in Nottingham</a> for a well deserved meal and a few glasses of wine. Having never been to Aurora before, we didn't know what to expect but the menu sounded delicious and at around £20 for three courses, we couldn't pass it up. After oohing and aahing upon entry to the restaurant, we sat down and looked over the menus while we caught up on recent gossip.<br />
<br />
As it was Valentine's weekend, Emma had bought us all a little present each to celebrate friendship and singledom. She handed out a small package each so we wouldn't know what we were opening. All of us had a different necklace with a literary quotation related to it. Such a cute personal touch. I'm still wearing my necklace.<br />
<br />
After the excitement of presents and glaring jealously at all of the food surrounding us, we ordered our meals and then ate each course almost in silence because it was so delicious! <br />

Sorry for the poor quality photos, I only had my phone so had to rely on taking snaps with that every now and again. I must be the most irritating person to eat at a restaurant with! We finished our meals with a big smile on our faces and headed off to a few cocktails bars for the evening. I'll definitely be heading back to Aurora again and spreading the word. I couldn't believe how well priced it was for such high quality food.<br />
<br />
If you want to check out the restaurant then here's the website: <a href="http://aurorarestaurant.org/main/" target="_blank">Aurora. </a>Enjoy! <br />

Friday seemed to take forever to roll around this week but that's probably because it's half term and I've been looking forward to it so much! Last night was full of cake baking and brownie making - below are some of the pink glittery cakes I made to raise money for charity at school. They were pretty slap dash because I was so tired I couldn't see straight but I think they were fairly popular.<br />
<br />

One of the most exciting things this week was definitely my trip to the o2 which involved having a tour, filming in sky studios and visiting a mini Harry Potter exhibition. My sixth formers all had a good laugh at me happily snapping pictures of everything and squealing loudly. I flooded instagram with pictures the minute I could. Loser!<br />

Quickly moving on from my excitement to my terror about dying my hair. I know I'm way behind everyone else but I've FINALLY ombred my hair. It took a long time to summon up the nerve to do it and buy the kit. After watching endless tutorials and reading blogs, I decided it was time to give it a go. How wrong can it go? Hmm. Well I now have a very subtle ombre effect on my hair. Kind of light brown ends rather than any blonde. Might put some more bleach on it tomorrow just to lighten it a bit more and stop it looking like it has just dried out. Is this the most stupid idea I've ever had? Please tell me if I'm about to ruin my hair forever. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
My hair looks very red here but it must be the lighting! </div>
<br />
My weekend is going to consist of a girlie meal at a fancy place in town, some dancing and some amaretto sours. This will swifly be followed by a massive roast dinner and a day of me complaining that I feel rubbish. Ideal. As is half term tradition, I have said yes to everyone and everything and totally overbooked myself. Looking forward to catching up with friends and family and having a life, if only for a week.<br />
<br />
At some point during the week I'll moan about not having enough clothes. This is total rubbish. I (and every other girl I know) has tons of clothes. That doesn't mean they're the <i>right </i>clothes though. There is a difference! Here are some lovelies I'm currently lusting over:<br />

Can you believe it snowed today? I thought we'd finally got rid of the snow when February arrived. I rushed home after work and immediately made soup and tea to combat the cold temperatures. Brr! Inevitably, I ended up internet shopping and having a sneaky peek at one of my dream shops. <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/womenswear/designer-accessories/gifts" target="_blank">My wardrobe</a> is full of designer goodies and luxury gifts. I'd like to think that one day a man will take the initiative, pop on there and buy me some pretty things. I can but dream! <br />
<br />
With a sale on at the moment, <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/" target="_blank">My Wardrobe</a> is much more affordable for most people. I would never be able to buy a pair of £200 shoes so they're here purely to show you how pretty they are. The blue swirly diary is definitely something I could stretch to though...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4f2gLs2bfo/UREygm4oi2I/AAAAAAAADT0/i5R1a6Wa43g/s1600/mywardrobe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="564" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4f2gLs2bfo/UREygm4oi2I/AAAAAAAADT0/i5R1a6Wa43g/s640/mywardrobe.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
So I've had a little play around with my blog and changed the background to a kind of purple fan design. What do you think? The <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/diane-von-furstenberg/purple-saffiano-i-phone-4-vintage-printed-case-314690" target="_blank">Diane Von Fustenberg phone case</a> here looks really similar actually! Blogging is a really love/hate thing for me. Some weeks I'll post everyday and other times I will barely write at all. Must depend on my need to shop/swoon over sparkly things and how much I want to share my thoughts with you. In an attempt to curb my expensive shopping habit, Ebay has become my biggest friend after I've bought a few beautiful bargain dresses from there. I have discovered a cheeky little ASOS outlet thing which is a real treat. Shh, don't tell anyone!<br />
<br />
<br />

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925484176570829918.post-57525902090418755282013-02-02T07:17:00.000-08:002013-02-02T07:17:38.702-08:00Daydreamer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I'm a creature of habit. Just like my dad, I always park in the same parking space and I like what I know. That also applies to the clothes I wear. Black always seems to be my go-to shade and I wear it in some form every day. I suppose it suggests that I'm not very adventurous but then if it ain't broke...<br />
<br />
On my quest for a new outfit I found myself in <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/" target="_blank">River Island </a>yesterday. The stock varies in RI quite massively and sometimes I wouldn't wear anything in there but then there are other times when I could buy everything I see! Yesterday was one of those days. Luckily, I managed to settle on a top and skirt combination in my trusty black and left the shop feeling pretty smug with myself.<br />
<br />
My evening consisted of dancing, cocktails and good friends. I'll be following that up today with more of the same with an added Mexican meal thrown into the mix. Now that February has rolled around I suppose it is time for me to get ill so I've been suffering with a terribly sore throat since Friday. Honey and lemon it is! If you know any other remedies please let me know. I want to be better by this evening. <br />
<br />
No more shopping for a while so I thought it would only be fair to share the RI love. Look at all the colour thrown in just for you!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eGh-_jyl8NI/UQ0qZIYVW8I/AAAAAAAADSs/Md7Bhouat9Y/s1600/river+island.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="564" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eGh-_jyl8NI/UQ0qZIYVW8I/AAAAAAAADSs/Md7Bhouat9Y/s640/river+island.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The black dress with cut out shoulders is something I'd wear again and again. Showing a tiny bit of flesh is much better than having it all out on show. Pair the dress with the cream and black heels and you have an instant outfit.<br />
<br />
The yellow summer dress is just very cute and would go nicely with some brown sandals and the anklets (next to it). I'd add a black blazer and heels for evening time. Same applies to the beige coloured patterned dress.<br />
<br />
You may have noticed there are two of the same top on here. Floral peplum tops can be worn dressed up at night or to work with a pencil skirt. They also both have a really pretty low back. <br />
<br />
Then we have another black dress. Told you I like it! It would look good with bright heels and a clutch just to keep it interesting. I'd add quirky gold jewellery (like the swirly ring next to it) and a statement necklace.<br />
<br />
On the bottom row it gets a little more girlie. The white embellished top looks gorgeous although I'm not sure it would suit me. I can imagine it looking beautiful on another girl though! Same applies to the pink skirt. Girlie just doesn't suit everyone!<br />
<br />
It's time for me to settle down and watch the end of the rugby with some soup and buttery bread. Happy weekend!<br />

Today is so not warmer! What were the weather people on about?! I still haven't managed to take my coat off after returning from work so I thought the laptop might be a good source of heat due to the fact it's old and liable to overheat at any moment. Of course, I can't sit with a computer and not look at clothes online - pretty sure it's impossible. Today was the turn of <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&geoip=home" target="_blank">Topshop</a> and so here are a few of my favourite picks:<br />

Where did January go? We only have a few days left until February and that means Valentine's day. As a single girl this year, I will be spending the weekend with friends having a girlie dinner and a few cocktails to celebrate our freedom. My online 'window' shopping has led me to some beauties by <a href="http://www.nastygal.com/lookbooks_crazy-love/" target="_blank">Nasty Gal</a> so I thought it would only be fair to share with you. Below are some favourites from the site. If I wasn't saving for the holiday of a lifetime then Nasty Gal would have all of my pennies by now!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zlfAQqggOGA/UQVyHktx1oI/AAAAAAAADQc/ccJ7wUzgfNI/s1600/dressess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zlfAQqggOGA/UQVyHktx1oI/AAAAAAAADQc/ccJ7wUzgfNI/s640/dressess.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Seeing as this post is a little bit Valentine's themed then I thought I'd post a few slower tracks that I've been listening to recently.<br />
<br />
One of the most beautiful covers I've heard in a long time. <br />

<br />
I love Rihanna's softer side. Much more appealing when she just uses her voice! <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C-dW7z0QBNg" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Slightly in love with the lead singer and his excellent jumper.<br />

Sometimes Twitter comes up with gems by total chance. I often get followed by companies just looking for a follow back but <a href="http://www.dotcomgiftshop.com/">Dotcomgiftshop</a> caught my eye and pulled me in! Full of vintage style homeware and little gifts, it is the perfect place to buy presents for others. I adore the elephant egg cup (below) and would easily be able to find a space for all of these things in my tiny, ever so cluttered flat. <br />

Only a very short post today as I am exhausted after the first week back at work and thinking about putting some new things into motion. Seeing as my blogging is a little sporadic at the moment, here are some others that I go back to time and time again. In fact, I think I might need some kind of treatment for my addiction to Rose's recipes on The Londoner.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/" target="_blank">Cupcakes and Cashmere</a> A lifestyle blog written by Emily Schuman. She always seems to be creating something new or taking pictures of beautiful little decorations. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://www.thelondoner.me/" target="_blank">The Londoner</a> Rose's writing puts most bloggers to shame, particularly holidays posts when she describes scenery in such detail. The pictures (and her entire life) are just fascinating. Oh and did I mention the FOOD?</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://ashley-ringmybell.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ring my Bell</a> If you watch Revenge then you'll recognise Ashley from there. Her blog is packed with outfit posts, sunny weather and model style poses. Love it!</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://marieeeloves.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Marieloves</a> Wavy hair and tons of beauty products? Yup. Great for girlie girls who like to keep up with beauty tricks and fashion pieces.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://www.shewearsfashion.com/" target="_blank">Shewearsfashion</a> Yet another serious beauty who gives me leg envy, Kavita has a really quirky style and seems so sweet through her writing. She also has a little shop selling vintage goods.</li>

We're a week into 2013 now and everyone is full of resolutions, plans and dreams. I love the feeling of a fresh start and the opportunity to begin new things. I spent NYE with one of my best friends watching our own firework display next to a river. Nothing could have been better. We had spent the day buying tickets for our dream trip to Thailand and celebrated with takeaway and trashy tv until we rushed to celebrate the new year outside. <br />
<br />
I've always been one of those people that dreams and hopes but deep down thinks it won't really happen. Thailand is <i>actually </i>happening. Can't quite believe it myself. The trip isn't happening until summer so that allows plenty of time to get the bikini body I've always wanted and save up enough so that I can eat my weight in noodles out there. In the meantime, I shall be spending my time on <a href="http://makeyourselfthink.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a>, <a href="http://pinterest.com/soffiek/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>and flicking through hundreds of guidebooks. <br />

ASOS is my go-to site when I want to have a look at accessories because it has such a range to choose from. I've gone without a watch for a few months now which has been a real struggle. I need to know the time constantly and feel completely lost without something on my wrist. The old hair bobble round the wrist isn't really a good look past the age of 14. Here are a few favourite picks from the current ASOS stock. Absolutely gutted that they appear to have sold out of the pastel coloured strap watch as I'd had my beady on that for months. That'll teach me!<br />

Seeing as my flat appears to be the coldest place on Earth right now, I thought I'd come up with a nice warm wintery outfit to share with you. Fur and purple look really luxurious together even if the fur is fake and the purple dress is from a very purse friendly Dorothy Perkins. As a lover of all things geometric and aztec style, the gold necklace would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe. It would go with everything! I've never owned anything leather before but seeing as it is mega on trend right now, I thought the gloves were a little nod to the trend without making too much of an effort. Apparently leather gloves are super warm too!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think of this outfit? Are you feeling warmer now too?</div>

It's that time of year where you have to start thinking about Christmas presents for people. November was full of birthdays (four in one weekend) and so I definitely have present wrapping skills to rival Santa's elves now. Luckily, I have a very small family and so Christmas shopping isn't too much of a hassle for me each year. Plus having a family of book and food lovers makes it very easy! <br />
<br />
I try really hard all year to buy things I <i>need</i> rather than want and so when December rolls around I like being able to get something frivolous to see me into the New Year so expect to see a flurry of wishlist style posts on here until I spring into action during the January sales to pick up a bargain. <br />

After walking my gorgeous Stylistpick boots to death last year and trudging around in battered studded ankle boots for a few months, I'm in serious need of some boots to see me through the winter weather. Sensible brain says the £14.99 wonders from New Look for day to day but then the £65 boots from Aldo look ridiculously snuggly.<br />

Decisions decisions...<br />

If I was a creative designer type this would be the type of thing I'd love to do. The colours, the cuts and the textures are gorgeous. Let's call it ladylike with a twist. Not entirely convinced about the fishnet gloves but those can be ignored when there are big sparkly blue dresses to catch the eye.<br />

Winter weekends are so appealing when you know you have nothing to do but get cosy with a cup of tea and a big cardigan wrapped around you. I quite desperately want ALL of the items from this post. The 'big books' bag is just too cute to say no to. <br />

Time to snuggle up and read a few pages of <i>The Book Thief</i> before a ridiculously early night. Life is good.</div>

I thought I'd share a little secret with you. Well, two actually. Now don't tell anyone but I'm already excited about Christmas. That's right, I said it. I think it's totally acceptable as soon as Halloween and Bonfire night are over with. Now my second secret is a little bit more beneficial for you because it's one of my favourite websites full of goodies...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://mydeco.com/">Mydeco.com</a> is full of so many gorgeous trinkets and presents for the house that you could easily spend an hour on there scrolling through it all. It makes finding gifts much easier for those people who just don't have the time (or patience) to trawl the high street. There's nothing I hate more than a busy street in Winter full of people barging past and coughing in your face! Here are a few favourites taken from the website:<br />

If you know someone who is a bit of a homebody like me and loves to get warm and cosy in the winter with some tea and cake then definitely head to the site and see what you can find. I'd also recommend Urban Outfitters and Matalan for some pretty but quirky pieces.<br />
