if there were a blog social services.....


then i would def have my blog taken away from me, i've abused the poor little thing for so long!!!
hello guys, i'm baaaack! well actually, that's wrong in so many senses...
i've been back, in england, for just over a week now, LA was the most amazing time of my ENTIRE life! but even better, whilst i was there i got a call saying i had been accepted to the university that i desperately wanted to go to! so when i got home from LA, two days later i moved down to university! its been a whirlwind to say the least!

i now live in a very lovely house with three other people, two guys and a girl, they are all lovely, the house is nice and tidy, my room has been turned into a lovely little room with flowers and pinkkkkkk everywhere, one problem, the cute little house doesnt have the internet yet. boo.
so i havent been able to blog until today because i just popped home (2hour drive..boo) to get some more of my clothes and stuff, not going to back here for a while unfortunately after this.

along with LA, the last three weeks have positively been the best 3weeks of my life! LA was amazing, spent alot of time with my family, partied at all the hottest hollywood clubs, i even met some famous faces along the way... and uni, well its totally not as glamourous as hollywood, but hey, party every night, recover everyday and go back out and do it all again! met so many cool friends its just fabulous! i love it!

i hope you're all marvelous and happy and just loving life... i will be back to blogging regularly as soon as i get the internet at my little uni house, so please bare with me until then my lovelies.

lots of love, be happyyyyyy :)

a place to rest your head.

More home inspiration in the form of Cath Kidston floral prints. I think you would have really sweet dreams in this bed. I don't know if this look could be at all interpretted into a Uni room when your not allowed to paint the walls or hang anything off them. yay. not. booooo.

making my new house a home...

If you've read the blog before, you'll know I am going to university in September, and one of my main concerns is my living arrangements, so I thought it would be a good idea to search for some quirky bits and bobs to put in my new uni room, and where better to go than Urban Outfitters.... this is what I found...

These cute letters can be placed on the wall to create any word you want... (£5 per letter, various colours available...)




Top row (from l-r): Marmite Sandwich box, good for the days when I'm on the go from lecture to lecture... (£6); Sudoku toilet roll, ok maybe realistically I'm not going to use this for toilet issues, but it made me smile!... (£6); Snowglobe Frame, this cute snow globe reminds me of my childhood, and you can fill it with a picture of your choice... (£5)

Middle row (from l-r): Large Cupcake storage, cute to hide little nicknacks in!... (£6); Elm tree Jewellery stand, this cute stand has holes that you could pin your earrings through or hang delicate little bracelets off of... (£16); Mirror Heart Stand, I LOVE THIS! This mirror inspires me to inject colour colour colour into my uni room! (£10)

Bottom row (from l-r): Fairy hook, this cute little hook would probably be used for decoration more than anything!! (£12); Family Clock, this cute clock has a built in picture frame around the edge for you to insert pics of all your loved ones, you could even do a kind evolution theme.... quite pricey at...(£40); Card curtain photo frame, this is really cute to hang on the wall as it looks more structured than a collage on the wall, at (£8) you could cover all your walls with them!

You may have already noticed I adore marmite, as does my mummy, so this cute little Marmite
Money bank (£6) will be significant in so many ways, a reminder of home, and a reminder to save my money and not spend it all in Urban Outfitters!!!!!!!!!
Once I get to uni (not for another 3 months yet haha) I'll take a pic my room for you!
SMILE, lifes good. XO
