Fixing Up For Third Year

New Term, New Blog

Ok so I have been so incredibly slack with blogging as of late. As I’ve recently entered my third year of uni, I decided to give my life a mini-revamp. This includes:
  • weekly blogging
  • better budgeting
  • better time management
  • joining a gym
  • and finally to make the absolute most of my final year as a student (sob sob)
Uni is nearly over meaning the adult world isn’t far away. After a brief stint in this scary world of early morning commutes, coffes breaks, PR plans, and real deadlines as an intern for CarrieMe (http://www.carrieme.co.uk/, http://carriemelondon.blogspot.com/) I realised that time management is extremely important.

Also if I intend to make the most of my final uni year (eg party till I pass out), while still achieving good grades, weekly blogging, and getting a Rihanna esq (yeah right) body at the gym, then my time management skills are going to have to shape up fast. As for the budgeting … wish me luck; because as a self confessed fashion addict I feel this is going to be the hardest bullet point of all.

Music I’m Loving This Week

Drake has pushed back the release date of his new album Take Care. I really do not mind because I know he is more than worth the wait. From what I have heard of the album already, all I can say is Drizzy’s still doing it. (http://octobersveryown.blogspot.com/) While we’re on the subject how amazing would a Young Money tour with Drake, Nicki and Wayne be? Weezy if you’re reading, I would most definitely attend.

Fashiony Things I’m Loving This Week

Obviously snakeskin is one of the biggest trends for A/W 11-12, which is good news for me as I love animal inspired fashion of all kinds. Sheer shirts are easy to wear day or night and adding a python print is an instant update; which is why I decided I need this one from Next.

As a animal print obsessive, I naturally already own a few snakeskin pieces. My favs are these trousers that I
very nearly forgot I had. I will neglect you no more snakey harems.

Newest Purchases

I have had many leopard print shoes over the years but as they were all beyond battered, I decided to take advantage of New Look’s limited 20% student discount - which is sadly now over. Fear not fashion loving students, it will come again (just a heads up - it coincides with the start of every new term, which just happens to be when loans come in - I'm not suggesting anything, I'm just saying).

Other Things I Like This Week
 
Nicola Roberts. Her album that came out last month. Her being the cover star of September's Notion. Nic Rob has a cute, quirky swagger that is both street but girlie. Its a style I like to call cheppy (chavvy and preppy - it’s like hovis: the best of both worlds). Basically I just think she’s really cool. If her album Cinderella’s Eyes - which I haven't heard all of yet - is as good as her fashion sense then I'm sure it's a good time for listeners.

Things I’m Not Liking This Week

Sam and Billie Faiers from TOWIE getting beaten up. I don't know wether it was jealousy or over a guy but either way it's pathetic and disgusting.

Quotes I’ve Liked This Week

“I still don’t understand why he’s uploading daily pictures of his face?”

While talking about being skint “It’s funny because we’re students, but if we were proper adults we’d be suicidal.”

"I'm not hungary ... I'm still gunna eat it obviously"
