Trip to NYC : Day 1 - The five hour delay

After a sleepless Sunday night, myself and the girls (Abi and Zoe) awoke to an early 3AM start; with difficulty we managed to head off to the airport to start our little adventure! However when we arrived we found our flight had a 5 hour delay. Given a food voucher we scoured duty free, until we came upon a Wagamama's.

As a Wagamama's virgin I was a little apprehensive to give it a try but both Zoe and I ended up getting pancakes whilst Abi opted for a breakfast stir-fry. 

The smell wafting from Abi's stir-fry was so enticing, but sadly I couldn't have a taste because it contained three types of meat (and I'm pescetarian). Soon our pancakes arrived and they were oh so scrummy and delicious especially with extra nutella, although they were so filling I couldn't eat them all (a very depressing moment)! 

Finally we found ourselves on a seven hour flight to New York, with a massive selection of entertainment to chose from (yes, the films are my favourite part of a long-haul flight). I watched Frozen (my new favourite film), Hobbit 2 : Desolation of Smaug and Were the Millers.

When we arrived in NYC it was a bitter -15 Degree's with wind which I think no-one was prepared for. We had to wait an hour in the cold for a bus to our hostel and we were all ready to dump our stuff and settle into our duvet's once we got there; but not before we ordered  a chinese takeaway (it even came in one of those little boxes you see in the movies)!

That's all for Day 1 but keep checking back for Day 2!

Im off to NYC!

I just wanted to update and let all of you lovely readers know I will be absent from blogging from the 3rd-8th of March.

This is because on Monday I jet off to the famous streets of the Big Apple! Yes NEW YORK!

This will be the second time I've been to NYC, the last time being in July 2010 (ages ago I know!) and will be an "educational trip" with my Art Foundation course.

I will be taking lots of photographs and writing posts up in my mini-notebook the whole time so look forward to those going up when I arrive home.

au revoir

Personal Style #1

I have seen many people post OOTD's and FOTD's on their blog's, but personally Ive always been a bit too scared to attempt one! However I'm making a new start for 2014 and today's post is my first OOTD (as you may have guessed from the title).

Today was another lazy day home alone for me, but didn't mean I couldn't dress up! (I have that awful tendency to look decent when I have nowhere to go).

I am sporting a colourful jumpsuit from "SOUTH" borrowed from my mother's old wardrobe paired with a "24/7" denim jacket and denim wedges from Primark. I also added a small heart pendant to add a little more bling to the outfit (this outfit is probably more appropriate for summer)

Oh and I had to add a scary mask to the outfit too!

Are you fed up with all these winter blues? 

I know I am! I thought I'd change my jeans to something a bit more fun for once and I have to say, I was pleased with the results! Id like to invest a bit more into jewellery and vintage pieces as I don't own many of either, so if you have any recommendations write them in a comment below or come visit me on Twitter or Facebook.

I hope you liked my outfit! Let me know if these types of posts are ones you’d like to see more of.

Mini-Spring Haul

Finally I have finished all my deadlines at college and I'm free to start blogging again! Over the christmas period, my contract at work finished so I was left completely moneyless and jobless. However I managed to save up several allowances and buy some bargains!

White Scallop Top; Topshop £16

Baby Lips in Cherry Me and Pink Punch from Superdrug; £2.99 each

Collection Eyeshadow Pallette in Purple from Superdrug; £3.99

MUA Blush in Lolly from Superdrug; £1.00

GlamLips in Pin Up from Wilkinsons; £1.56

Necklace from H&M; £6.99

Whilst in town I popped into one of my favourite beauty stores; M.A.C and got a sample of their studio fix foundation in NC15 as I haven't tried it on my skin since I was the ripe age of 13! The lady at the desk was also kind enough to give a sample of M.A.C's Natural Radiance Primer in Pink to make sure the foundation looked its best when it was applied.

I also picked up a bit of tartan ribbon (to make into a bow) and a lacy collar which I plan to add to a plain white shirt (once I've learnt how to do it!).

Thats all for now but once I find a new job there should be a lot more of these to come!

#Bbloggerssecretsanta

So recently I took part in a #bbloggerssecretsanta and sent mine off just before christmas to Sarah from Blinkered Barbie. Unfortunately the Post Office must of been very busy as my package didn't arrive until New Years! Even though it arrived late I was still very excited to open my present!

The lovely Nic sent me a little card as-well which I still have sitting on my shelf as we head towards the end of January. I finally unwrapped my mystery box to find an Accessorize Fragrance Set, I had never heard of this set so I was very excited to try it out! Especially as It came from one of my favourite brands.

Inside the box I found two fragrances and a fuchsia coloured pouch to keep them safe. The scents were called "Joy" and "Spirit", you can either wear these fragrances separately or combine them to create a new smell called "Boho". I found that "Joy" was very fruity and fun whereas "Spirit" was a bit more musky and floral, but both were absolutely gorgeous especially when worn as "Boho". Most friends know that I despise long and complicated names for perfume, but I feel these were named perfectly!

A massive thank you goes out to Nic for my gorgeous present. I love it! You can see my #Bbloggerssecretsanta receiver's post here.

Did you take part in a Secret Santa this year? and what gift did you receive?
