Good morning! Well i'm up very early just because I wanted to say goodbye to the boyfriend as he goes to work. Pleased with myself that I can actually wake up this early haha, anyway i'm pretty excited for Friday and Monday coming. Me and Daniel's 1year and a half anniversary on Friday, nothing really special planned but going to Birmingham to see friends and he's buying a Wii (He use to play Monster Hunter with his friends from the caravan on PSP but now it's come out on the Wii & their cheaper now he wants to get it). Which I don't mind since around Christmas time I want to get a few Mario games for myself, but for Friday I kinda hoping Daniel will get the hints that i'd like Animal Crossing : Let's go to the city.

Other news in Wales my mum & gran have sorted out my list of things for the new house, which i'm very grateful for! Since I have no money at the moment plus i'm moving in on Monday the 6th, it seemed the best to ask if they had any of the items around or could buy me some. My mums made a lovely black & plum king size duvet cover which i'm looking forward to seeing and snuggling up hehe, they've packed all my clothes/dvds/other crap that's in my room and bringing it up when I get dropped off in the new house. Saves time & such so koodos to them,  i've just got to go back with them on the day to pick up personal stuff that they've forgotten :) Plus she's getting me a printer that I wanted to get/mentioned in the blog, which my dad couldn't afford (my dad lets me down alot for the past few years, plus my mum does have her bad days but when she does all this for me I'm really glad she's around).

Above you can see the changes to my spending spree in October, which is good that I actually mooched around for since i'm saving half on all the items i've picked! The silver birdy earrings and the tree necklace are both from Beadix, all together they cost under £13. The silver silk scarf is vintage from Japan which is from VintageDazzle which costs just £8 and the red & gold silk scarf is from Victoria&Charlotte which is under £6! these are all from Etsy which is great if you don't want to spend a fortune on vintage looks. 

Also I keep losing earrings here or breaking them which utterly sucks but Dan said he'd buy me some new ones on Friday which is nice. He's also ordered a present for me but it'll arrive at my gran's for the time being, since we're leaving on Monday and it'll be waiting for me! Also my swallow necklace, emerald heart earrings, koi fish keyring & decorative tapes will hopefully be waiting for me too. I like having letters/parcels waiting for me at home, just a lovely feeling opening something up.

Oh lovely!

Oh c'mon!

It's rained non stop for the past few days now, I want dry days to come since i'm suppose to be going out on Friday & Saturday. Now I just don't feel like going out at all now, I just want to stay in till September comes and I have to go home. Think i'll just stay in my pjs and browse the internet to comfort myself...

Something new...

❤Twitter DailyBooth❤

So basically got a week left in England, which is good since i'm missing Wales a lot but i'll miss friends over here too. I'm looking forward to going back because i've just remembered too that it's mine and Daniel's 1year & a half anniversary next Friday (which isn't a big deal but i'm happy we're getting there). Which is close to the 2year mark which would then mean it's my longest relationship so far, i'm just happy I have someone and i'm glad i'm not going through university alone to be honest. Also i'm getting a present which is always good in my books, i'm getting a special made 'Octopus embroidered Headband' made by janinebasil on Etsy. But instead of the 'Hot Pink' i'm getting it in a 'Pale Blue' so it'll match most of my clothes :)

Also talking about buying things yesterday I lost my favourite pearl drop earrings, they weren't expensive or anything but they did match alot of things plus they weren't studs. So I checked the website from where I bought them but they don't sell them any more so onto Etsy to find some earrings.. and found these cute 'Emerald Green Heart Studs' made by junquiegirl again on Etsy. Of course i've bought them & currently waiting for them to be shipped on this weekend coming but also they match this bracelet that I really want for Christmas off the boyfriend :) (plus i'm not putting up the link for the bracelet since I really want it/it's one of a kind).

Also my mother messaged me via facebook to tell me my 'Sparrow Necklace' has arrived at home, finally went ahead and bought it from ilookpretty which is also from Etsy. I didn't get the matching earrings though since I thought I would over do it with my swallow bandeau top as well.

And last but not least I bought a lovely 'Oriental Lucky Fish Charm' and 'Ten units of small deco tape' from littleteethshop just to cheer me up from the slow summer.  

Laters!!

I'm an easy lover.

So been spending time with the boyfriend more than anything since he's on his days off, so making cakes and having a lovely meal is what i've been doing today. Nothing too stressful haha, also listening to Kasabian recently which i'm getting to like while watching the rain & listening to the thunder. Ah the luxuries of life :

❤

Pretty much only got two weeks till I return to Wales, for the first week i'll be swamped doing unpacking/packing/organising where things are going in my room. I'm looking forward to it only because i'm OCD and I want to move into the lovely house i'm gonna be living in for two years (wow seems like a very long time). Also sorted out the budget for September towards December, which has been bugging me nearly all of this month and it seems so simple now lol. Been thinking of meeting friends before I start university, since when I do move back i'll have nearly a month to wait before things get good and that sucks!

❤

What a lovely day!

I posted a blog a few days ago with a list of things I was going to buy off Etsy only to find out that one shop closed down, mega dissapointment but there we go I can't force them to open.. or can I? lol. But anyway i've been looking on ModCloth for accessories, which is costly to send over here but their really beautiful things i've wishlist. 

❤

So yesterday I went to meet up with Dani and Jason up in Birmingham again, so lucky to have warm weather and i'm actually glad I wore my bandeau top (nice & cool when the sun was out and loads of people in the bullring). Daniel finally got the speakers he wanted since he's been winging to me alot about speakers, but he got some with really good bass & he's happy so that's all good. Also got a few treats off Daniel which was really nice of him, had a lovely meal at Nandos and caramel milkshake in Selfridges aswell to finish the day off nicely! Finally got a strapless bra to wear with the bandeau tops/dresses, new pair of purple tights too and some awesome cloud laces hehe.

❤

Daniels at work today & tomorrow so occupying myself by downloading a game on the xbox, I bought Tomb Raider Underworld but the disk isnt working so Daniel's bought me the game from the marketplace and we're gonna return the game next time we go up Birmingham (to make it fair i'm letting him have the £5 return and the £10 Gamestation card I have). But wouldn't you think shops check the disk before selling it on?
But atleast tonight or tomorrow I get to play the game finally haha..

❤

Monday blues!

So lately i've been mooching around on LostAtEMinor's website and have to be honest it is amazing, full of stuff that i've followed, bookmarked and taken my time to look at. The coolest thing is I finally have a place to look up new illustrators and designs that come out on a reliable website! This site is truely a mind blast! Check it out.

❤LazyOaf ModCloth PhilippeRoucou AmandaWachob Verameat❤

Also I think you should check out the links above, just some of the sites that are on LostAtEMinor's website and these are my favourites so far! Currently watching the boyfriend play Monkey Island Special Edition on the xbox, I remember playing the old one on my dad's computer and loved it. So watching him play at the moment makes me chuckle abit, plus it's something in the background while I mooch the vast interwebs for lovely things to share on here.

Daily Update

❤ Twitter Facebook Dailybooth ❤

❤ Ah life with the boyfriend working this summer has lead me to inviting my old habits back, you know before your in a relationship and just did whatever you wanted. I've been watching telly much more than I use to, i'm glad 'Ugly Betty' has returned into my life and I just wish a few other habits would return. I miss the times where I would go to university, finish early and go out for drinks with my mates. I miss the times where i'd buy myself clothes without worrying about the cost or money, just spending on myself. I think this September calls for changes, I think I need a few changes personal wise and a little more me time.


❤ Literally waiting for September to pop round the bend, got a lovely list of things to buy and sort out my new bedroom at the student house :) Life is exciting at the moment!


Laters!

Oh my god..

❤ Currently listening to Scissor Sisters - Tits on the Radio.

❤ Been looking at some printers since i've changed my mind on buying a new xbox for myself and buying something useful in September time. So got a couple bookmarked ready for the boyfriend to have a look at them, personally I want the lovely HP since it's a sexy slick black beast! Plus it would go with my laptop, don't know if its O/S compatable but that doesn't matter since I have the laptop.

Return to Oz❤

❤ Literally just counting the days till I return to Wales!
Finally finished faffing about on Etsy for jewellery to get this September, mainly to match my clothes and just update my taste/style (I love weird/kitsch stuff especially if it's cheap haha).

Swallow necklace by ilookpretty. £4.68

❤ Also made my mind up on the shoes that i'll be getting, in my whole life never got very girly shoes/no heals at all. So I felt a change plus these will be lovely for nights out instead of bloody plimsoles haha! 

Black Brogue Shoes by Evans. £25

❤ I'm finding the need to go outside so badly right now, I want to go and socialise but there's nothing going on around here. Bewdley, Birmingham or anywhere really I couldn't care where, just to be out of the house with some friends or going out for the day and enjoying. Another thing to be enjoyed at Swansea, friends are closer and there's a town center just 10minutes away from our house. I don't even know if Dan's grandparents need there bedroom to be painted? Haven't heard anything from them in a week and abit. Confused much.

❤ Still waiting on the parcels! Gah I hate waiting on deliveries because sometimes they come early which is perfect but normally I get them on the exact day they've noted or later. But I really can't wait, two new tops to wear around the end of summer and university time :)

SafariSafariSafari!!!

❤ I've never been so grateful to get to go on one, I really enjoyed myself and seeing such lovely animals up close & personal was amazing. Definatly glad we walked in, since four people were paying upto £80 for entry and wristbands and didn't get to ride next to the animals like us :) We paid a £5 for a coach safari trip, five people showed up including us and it was fantastic! The weather was lovely aswell, sunshine in the morning then cloudy spot of rain when we started the safari trip but dry allthrough the afternoon and it lasted an hour and a half. By the time we got back to the entrance we had some food then hit the theme park, there's more rides for kids than adults but we still had fun. Had an awesome day with my boyfriend, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't of known how cool it was. We're even thinking of going again with some friends!

Oh hello, i'm a starfish :)

 Rawr!

 haha.

Laters :)

Hello outside!

Tomorrow I get to go outside finally, this week has been long and I'm so thankful! I'm so excited to going out i've planned two outfits just incase its cold/raining and one if it's warm/sunny. Now to plan what i'm packing in my bag, since i'm that OCD and always prepared (purse, wetwipes, 2x camera, hat, vaseline lip balm, BB, nail file). Think that pretty much covers it, i'll have a shower after dinner with the boyfriend and I can relax for the rest of the night :)

Or look on Artbox for some lovely things hehe, I can look but not touch.. yet.
OH TOTALLY FORGOT! some inspiration :)

Do you miss the rain?

❤ It's pouring down outside my window, which is a good thing and a bad thing I suppose. I love watching the rain while your all snuggled up inside, but I don't want it to rain on Monday since i'm really looking forward to going out with my boyfriend finally (he's been working nearly all this week, while i've been stuck indoors with daytime telly and my laptop.. doesn't sound that bad but gets abit boring lol). So nothing new to report just looking at cute things online, like the scrummiest doughnut cushion hehe and the cat mug! from Artbox.

❤ I dunno what i'm like :) without money i'm looking/listing things I can get when I get money and when I do have money i'm making lists on what to buy with the money. Typical woman!

❤ Yesterday I was talking about changing my colour scheme into autumn & winter, these are both from DorothyPerkins. I love this dress, it's quirky and something I would wear on a night out. It's not that bad priced too (£35) which is good for begging the boyfriend to let me buy it hehe. Although the jacket is a tad more pricey (£65).

❤ Ah i'm already finding these bandeau tops from DorothyPerkins! Only (£12) which is bargin time for moi :) Also looking at dark cardigans from Matalan since their only (£14).

❤ I know I don't dress well at the moment but i'm hoping this change of colour & style will change how people see me, mainly be cutting out the bad food aswell when September comes since I need to lose weight just to feel better. Also since i'm living on a huge hill this year, will be saving money too (since I use to travel back and forth to Swansea, food aswell since i'll be with the boyfriend i'll be doing much more meals not snacking all the time and hopefully I will change).

❤ On a more boyish note ;) I still need to catch up on my dvd pile, there's the lovely three boxsets of Supernatural I need to get my mitts on (i've seen the first season a number of times thanks to telly, but I need to re-watch season 2 & 3 since i've missed a few episodes here and there hehe). Looking forward to that, I think i'm saving those while Dan's away working. Then finish the other half of the Alien boxset, watched all of the Aliens but AVP/AVP2 and Predator/Predator2. See my tomboy side sparkling through thanks to my dad, my boyfriend and my personal taste hehe. Also last but not least my Bladerunner boxset that I had for my 20th off my boyfriend, I really can't wait for a boring dull & grey day to watch that beast<3

Cya :)

New blogs i've discovered & loved...
- GoFugYourself ❤
- Mademoiselle Robot ❤
- LeBlogdeBetty ❤
- StyleBubble ❤
- KingdomOfStyle ❤

- DotComGiftShop ❤

Must say I like finding new blogs to stumble across upon, find some new fashion tips that I have never in my life of heard of and to discover something new & sparkley :)
The link above 'DotComGiftShop' have some things i've clicked into the wishlist, plus been looking at the usual Ikea/Habitat/Next/Wilkinson for house stuff.

Plus I also need to updo my style, so lately I was 'aloud' by my boyfriend to get these two boobtubes (which i've never worn in my life so let's change that!) swallow print & brown/cream zebra print one. I say aloud since i've spent quite abit of money over this summer, but now he has a job he's not so touchy with money which is a good thing for me.

 I find them so lovely, even though there not here yet but they'll go with most of my other stuff. I've gone for toned down colours since i'm changing what type of colours i'm into this autumn/winter thinking greys/navy/dark blues. This Friday their coming❤
Plus for £6.30 each, can't go wrong :)






 Anyway on to other things.. i've been listing away things for the new house! Practically all I bloody go on about, but I love decorating my own room (plus my room in this new house is huge, bigger than the one back home so my mind is buzzing with ideas) and some of the things i've put down i've emailed my grandmother to have a look over to see if she has anything or can get it for me :) My mother knows what stuff I like now, so it's much more easier to simply write everything down, send it back home and when I return to find some lovely things she's found! Plus I don't really mind if they don't find some of the stuff since i've been looking online at some shiny pretty things I want for the house.

Alone & Sketching

Well finding out that the boyfriend is going to be working from Wednesday till Sunday is a bummer, I have to pull my finger out and putting more effort into doing my summer project since i've finally got my draft done below.

'I've been looking at the old fashioned carnivals with the bearded lady, the world's strongest man and such for reference. I like the style, the borders they put them in and it makes me want to take how they presented them and put my 'freaks' in. When I say my freaks, I mean i'm taking friends/family/people that come into my life and go out and illustrating them as how I really see them. Giving them a sort of 'power' or 'weirdness' and presenting them in my own personal carnival. Some people may see the resemblence straight away but others might be totally oblivious to what their staring at is them. But I want to try my best to keep everyone who I sketch in this, annonymous. I will be doing a handfull series, say five of my family the ones that are close to me/four of my friends that stick out/then four more of people that just come and go into my life. I'm looking forward to see how this ends, I may put myself in this with my flaws though as the ring master.'
(insert illustration i'm happy with & title).

So going to try and finish off some peices by Sunday, then email my lecturer with this paragraph and two illustrations out of the series :) quite chuffed with myself to find my own take on the carnival brief, now to just do the series of illustrations.

Life sucks!

I don't know how people can live with bullying another person, if it's friends and just joking around yeah i'm all up for that. But just on a social network where your suppose to have some dignity, manners and not spam shit loads of vulgar messages to another person you've never met. Ugh I feel really crap at the moment, this normally doesn't bring me down since i've had this my whole life. Through secondary school and some of college i've been bullied, but I thought people had grown up now and over the internet. Well obviously I was wrong.

I just want to go home :(
