I know what i need cos i dont want that.

Just got back from the Lake District today...Loved it!!
I know people say how beautiful it is there but you really cannot know until you go and see for yourself. The only less- than- beautiful thing was the sight of me in walking attire (read: scruffy hoodie clad fuzzy- haired and hungover) but I'm pretty sure the girlies and I were too busy looking at the scenery to worry about what we looked like...ish.
We went rowing in Derwent Water this morning before we came home. Got a bit wet. Kept smiling though.
And the wood with all the coins in it was apparently a wishing log...you just got a coin, found a big rock and smashed the coin into the huge log, making the coin carry your wish. It was so interesting I literally had to tear myself away from staring at it all day as every centimetre of the log and the stump to which it was once attached was covered in coins. Sounds dull;it wasn't.

You would'nt do this if you did.

Houseparty last night. Farewell Delph Lane...

Just open up and sing.

I bought this jacket yesterday, as is custom when I buy something new, it is my favourite thing. I struggle so much to find good coverups for Summer as my wardrobe is full of long cardigans. Yes, they are in Summery colours but no one wants to be sporting a grannyesque cardi in the height of the season. So I thought this lace jacket would be perfect...its a Summery colour, is lacey which I love and is very light. Not only that but I've become a bit lazy of late and been wearing a lot of plain black and white and even though this doesn't win anything in the colour stakes, it does add a bit of texture to my boring jersey creations...
These photos were taken in the woody bit at the end of my road...as I'm leaving Leeds soon I intend to make the most of walking in there whilst I can as it is sooo lovely. I say that after encountering a homeless man urinating in a bush in full view of everyone who was unlucky enough to be passing. Aside from that its beautiful.
Not happy about the freezing weather today.

A twisted plant, is this the thanks i get.

I have tried at least ten times throughout my blogging life to work out how to put larger images on my blog (yeah you may laugh all you seasoned bloggers/ IT geeks but I am seriously sh*t at this stuff) and today I tried again and voila!

So these are some of the gifts I got for my birthday...I guess what one might conclude is that I like silver, and one would be correct. I wear silver nearly everyday and I love piling on the bracelets and rings all in the name of blinding poor folk when the sun hits me. I realised I didn't used to wear half as much before my Turkey adventures, but after seeing and buying so much lovely stuff there I really can't help but to wear it all the time. Anyway my bf/ friends/ bf's brother know me well it seems! The Links of London necklace was a gift from Mummy dearest and only came a couple of days ago ( she isn't so hot on timing considering my birthday was the 12th but hey) and I love it...I admired that collection every time I saw it and pretty much resigned myself to not ever owning a piece from it. Although her timing skills are non- existent, something must be said about her ability to choose me the perfect gift from 200 miles away!
 The soaps were from the cute shop in the last post...they smelled too good to leave...
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!

I know some people search the world.

Wheeeeeey! I finished my degree (fingers crossed no retakes!) So now I can focus my attention on this very very neglected blog.

The other week was my 21st so we went on a sneaky trip to York...nothing too OTT due to it being right before exams/ essay deadlines, but it was a lovely day. The city is so quaint and this shop is my favourite place to visit there. When I get a home this is EXACTLY what it will look like. Bath tub full of wooden hearts included.

I got some lovely presents which I will post in the next day or two!

I want to make it right with you.

I was a bit naughty this week and got excited about my Summer plans for which I really need to pad out my Summer wardrobe. Usually I go away for a week or maybe two in the Summer and can get away with a paltry three or four dresses for the whole time as they usually get stuffed in my bag when I'm on the beach or by the pool...However, I'm away for the whole Summer this year and need a good not- so- scruffy wardrobe to go with it.

This maxi dress was an absolute bargain and though I tried it on for a laugh (you know when you make a show of smiling around as if to say ha! I'm so not being serious with this dress I've just picked up. I know its not just me.) but actually turned out loving it. It skims all the right parts and looks great on the chest area; for once I can say I've found a dress that looks better on bigger boobs.

I bought quite a few more things as well but I'm going to wait until some of the guilt has worn off before I post them. But they are pretty.

Oh yeah, I finished my dissertation. Early. I can't believe what I've become.

Cos it never lets me down.

These are a few pics from Brighton from the other week...they're a bit belated but I guess its better than pictures of my dissertation which is pretty much the only thing I've been doing since!

I love Brighton...its the perfect mix of twee and weird and one day is never enough to see everything there.

Had a bit of a driving related mishap when trying to find somewhere to park...that being that I accidentally stuck myself in the middle of three lanes , blocking all three at once. Panic isn't a patch on what I felt I assure you. It doesn't help when the little sister that insisted you drive there is sitting next to you killing herself laughing as well. Yeah that's her in the pics.

Oh yeah I'm also selling some stuff on ebay...here's the link for one of the items if you're interested
