Winter is here! OOTD x

I have to say that in the past few days winter has definitely hit! It was only on bonfire night we were saying that it was pretty warm compared to what we remember it being like in November.....I mean I had a Mr. Whippy icecream at the fireworks...who would do that on a standard November evening?!!

The next day however, it was freezing! Luckily I didn't have to work or anything so I wrapped up warm in my cosy clothes and stayed in!

Here is my OOTD post....for some reason it went really blurry on the whole outfit so I have done a close up too! 

...Don't think Liam was too keen on the pink wardrobe I planted in his room! hehe :)

Baggy Jumper from USC £19.99, and SoulCal joggers from Republic £5 (both in the sale!) I love this outfit as it is soooo cosy and wear these joggers all the time with this cold weather!

Do you have a favourite 'cosy' / staying in outfit? xx

Love this quote!

Have to say this is a very inspirational quote for me...after everything that happened with Liam at the end of October and finding out that if I hadn't taken him to hopsital that night, he may not be here now is pretty scary!! xx

Plans for November

I am hoping over these wintery months, my blogging becomes a bit more frequent. I had a very stressful end of October with Liam in hospital and thank god he has out of there and all ok! Moving on from that, it is now November and I have lots in store for this month...

Tonight (Tuesday 8th November):

Liam and I are going to see Lee Evans on tour. I cannot wait as am a huge fan, and these tickets Liam bought me ages ago...from what I have heard it is a very funny gig and I am so excited!

Thursday 10th November:

My flatmate Katy's 21st birthday and we are all going out on the Wednesday night to celebrate...as there are better nights on! Looking forward to that as we have not all been out together in what feels like ages!

Wednesday 9th November:

(I know I'm working backwards here!)-is Liam's mums birthday. We are both going home at the weekend though to celebrate it which should be nice to catch up with everyone, as last time I saw his family they were up in Manchester visiting Liam in hospital..not a very nice experience! 

Friday 11th November:

I am having my wisdom teeth out back home....eeeeek! I hate any kind of injection, so this is something I am really NOT looking forward to! :( wish me luck!

Every Tuesday I have my photography course which I am loving, and you can check out the blog for it here! :) Nothing much else is happening in November until the end of the month, when I graduate!!

Friday 25th November: I graduate!! 

I am pretty excited for this as get to see everyone again, and we have all booked a room at some hotels in Leeds so that we can all go out together for the last time in Leeds! I am sure it will be an emotional night but one I am definitely looking forward to!

What's more, it will be exactly one month until christmas which I am extremely excited about this year-I feel like I'm a big kid again!! :)

What are everyone elses plans? Anyone else as excited about christmas as me?! xx

Professional Beauty North

On Sunday 16th October, Professional Beauty North 2011 was being held in Manchester. I had arranged to meet up with Charlotte   Rachel and her best friend Lisa, as we were all really intrigued about what would be there..especially as we managed to get free tickets!

It was a great day and lovely to meet with the girls after so long of talking! I was so nervous and shouldn't have been as we all got on really well. I think if we owned our own salons or businesses to do with beauty we would have been a lot more interested in the event, mainly because most of the things to buy were £200+. Nevertheless, it was a great experience, saw some interesting stands, including a woman having botox whilst people were walking past.....I could never do that! And also saw a Callum Best lookalike...at least we think he was a lookalike!!

There were a couple of great stands which we loved, as they had cheap nail varnish on them! I have bought a couple for presents, so will talk about them after christmas!-sorry!

After we had been to the event, we went to Pizza Hut which was amazing mmmm! even though we did have a weird, cheesy waiter who kept seeming like he was trying to chat up our table. 

All in all, it was a great day out and I cannot wait to meet up with them all again! :)

I won!!

Back at the end of September (this is how behind on blog posts I am!!) I won a prize from Paprika :)

I entered the competition via twitter just telling them why I deserved one of their goodybags! 

When I received a message saying that I had won I couldn't believe my luck! And then when I was asked my dress size I got really excited!....I have been doing my spending ban for 12 weeks tomorrow so got really excited at the prospect of something new!

When I had the package delivered I couldn't wait to open it and this is what I found...

The goodybag with a note from Paprika x

A peek inside the goodybag!

The dress!

I was really pleased when I found this in there as it is not something I would normally have chosen just as I don't have much that colour but I love it! They also gave me a cute bracelet too :)

If anyone would like to purchase this dress you can find it...here!

Thank you Paprika! and I can't wait to wear it out! :) xx

Wow!

It has been so long since I last posted.... I've been working soo much, and now I have lots on my mind as Liam is in hospital :( It feels so weird without him here, and the consultant said yesterday he'd probably be discharged tomorrow (as in today)....yet they've now said the earliest he'll be out is Saturday..how rubbish! Soooo if I'm not too busy this week working and visiting him I will try my hardest to do a couple of posts! xx

Rain!

Annoys me. Sorry for the ranty post, but I am sat here updating the blog for my photography course..please take a peek! :) And the rain has been non-stop all day, and all night...I know it's Manchester and it always rains in Manchester, but please either be Summer or Christmas..that would be perfect!! 

(*A more substantial post will be updated later when I get back from my photography course...hehe*)
