Back to School.

I have to admit its not actually back to school for me as I'm done with that now and college and by this time next week I'll be living in my halls at uni! Which is totally terrifying and I'm not at all prepared but it's also really exciting too!

This is my new bag for uni and I've been after a satchel for ages so thanks to my lovely mum who bought it for me! Its not Cath Kidston before you ask, many people have thought it was I just saw it in a shop in a neighbouring town and thought it would be perfect to carry my files/sketchbooks/magazines in. I love it so much its been on a few test runs already! I wore it with my trusty stripy dress (which you cannot class as a dress at all really) even though its becoming holey I can't throw it away as it just works with so much in my wardrobe. I also decided to throw of my winter coat as to be honest it feels like summer is now nothing but a distant memory, I love the duffle coat style its just a shame its beginning to fall apart slightly. The jeggings are something I wished I wore more but they just fall down all the time! My accessories are minimal I just finished the look with a messy bun and an anchor necklace I bought from Matalan and of course I also wore my Gok Wan glasses because either today or yesterday it was #proudofurspecsday so I'm just doing my part.

Lastly tomorrow I'm attending the first Simply Be store Launch in Liverpool I know there's a few of us bloggers going so if you are and we've yet to meet please come say hello!

Mondays Mugshot, Week 1.

1. So I thought I'd just give these a try! I know a fair few blogs already do this so I thought I'd give it a go. Basically every Monday I'll post a picture of my "mugshot" with a list of things that are going on in my crazy little world.

2. This time next week I'll have moved into my halls at uni and its safe to say right now that I'm absolutely bricking it. I don't feel old enough to even go to uni never mind basically live on my own, I just know I'll be home most weekends for the first few months. I can't cope being away from home for more than a week!

3. I'm planning on bleaching the bottom of my hair this week, that's if I manage to get my haircut before I go to uni, just fancy a change and I've spent a good part of the summer trying to get rid of the ginger/red I had in preparation for ombre -ing it. So once I get it all cut I shall go for the plunge so check out next weeks Monday Mugshot to see if I've done it yet. Also I don't know if you can tell but recently but my hair seems to have grown quite a lot and I was thinking of having it cut short but I have no been talked into keeping it longer.

4. And finally do you like my Paloma Faith inspired make up, I've been avoiding packing so I spent some time doing my make up repeatedly... I can always do one eye with eyeliner really well and the other is never half as good? Does this happen to anyone else?

OneStopPlus!

I do realise this is really quite picture heavy but I had such a great time at the event that it was had enough just trying to choose these pictures! I went to London almost a week ago for the OneStopPlus Event which was held at the Nails Inc Flagship store which means of course that we were lucky enough to get our nails done as well (I'll try get my hands on a picture of them sooner or later).

I had such an amazing time and just seeing all the bloggers and meeting the OneStopPlus team! We saw pieces from the up coming collection, some of which were already on the website and I have to say I was so impressed! I especially loved the blazers one being a tweedy check and the other being black with pleather detailing, I definitely want to try these out in my size. As this event was almost a week ago now ( this has sat in drafts for a few days I'm sorry!) I feel like I have forgotten some things but if you follow me on twitter you will have seen how excited I was over the event. We were also treated to goody bags when we left which had mini straighteners in, I've always wanted a pair!

I can't wait to do more things with OneStopPlus as I do really love the pieces they stock and I will certainly be purchasing from them in the future. I also want to just say how lovely the team were and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, like I may have felt at some places in the past. The event was also during Fashions Night out so everywhere was buzzing which I just adored.

and lastly, I LOVE LONDON.
