Somewhere only we know.

Just a quick post tonight. I'm going for drinks in town tonight with one of my good friends who I haven't seen in a while. Looking forward to having a good catch up! I thought I would do an outfit post to show you my two latest ebay buys. Apologies for the terrible quality of the 2nd photo. I wanted to get a full body shot for once and  it just wasn't really working.

Every single item of clothing in these photos are from ebay actually! I think I may need another hobby, other than bidding for items of clothes I don't really need! Anyway, I've been after a red blazer for ages. Got this one for £1.70 which I was so chuffed about. And I'm also wearing a Primark shirt/blouse which I got for £4. I already have it in purple but it doesn't go with much so I thought I'd buy it in mink as well. Glad I did.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone! xox

Just don't sit down cos I've moved your chair.

I am currently sitting on my bed in a room that is over flowing with suitcases and bags and all manner of things. I still haven't gotten around to unpacking fully. I really have no idea where I am going to fit all of the clothes that I brought back from Leeds on Tuesday. But on a happier note, I am so glad to have all of my clothes back. I really had forgotten about the majority of things and got loads of lovely surprises as I was moving out. My red blazer which I bought off ebay for £1.70 also arrived today so it is safe to say that I am in a very good mood.
Now that work has quietened down slightly since the Take That fiasco, I am finding it hard to think of things to fill in my time. I'd rather be at work! The last 2 days I have basically done zilch, apart from go over Neil's and watch episode after episode of Friends. I do love Friends, but there are always episodes that you have seen about 10 times so they have kinda lost their appeal. And those were the ones on yesterday. But tomorrow should be better. Not only is it payday, I am going shopping in Newcastle with Neil and then we are going for a Nandoooos yummy. I have a list of things to buy so will be skint by tomorrow evening again. I will do a blog post though with my purchases for those who may be interested.
Anyway, on to yesterdays outfit! I quickly managed to take a photo before I left but I didn't have time to post it. I wouldn't have had anything interesting to say either so maybe it's a good job I am doing it now. 
I'm wearing my Primark black maxi dress which I have been missing with my whole heart. I see so many people in black maxis and I was almost going to go and buy another just because I wanted mine back but now I do. And i'll probably never take it off. I'm currently in it now ha! 
I was so unsure about this turban when I bought it and didn't wear it for weeks after I got it. But my hair was a bit of a disgrace yesterday, 'orrible and greasy so I had no choice but to sling it on. To be honest, I am still unsure about it. Probably because Neil absolutely despises it and won't shut up about how awful it is haha. Way to make me feel good ey Neil? HA. What do you think? I need honest opinions here ladies. Seriously. If you hate it, say so.

SUCK IT AND SEE

Today I decided to spruce up my blog a bit. Now that I am getting the hang of blogging I thought it would be a good time to give myself a new layout and a proper heading etc. I think it's looking quite cute.
I'm not up to much today apart from OFFICIALLY MOVING OUT OF STUDENT HALLS! YEY! My lovely dad is driving me to Leeds this afternoon so I can finally bring the rest of my clothes home. It's going to be amazing. I've forgotten what I even own so it's almost going to be like I've bought so many new clothes. I don't know if any of you have lived or are going to live in student halls, but I really did hate it. I'll not go into the reasons why, as this is a happy day and that will probably just make me angry haha. I do know loads of people that loved it though, and would carry on living in them but they were just not for me. So I am super duper excited to move into a gorgeous little house in Headingly with 3 other lovely ladies. I'll give you a tour when I go to visit it next and actually take some photos.
But what this post is really about is tattoos. I have a small tattoo on my hip which is quite crap really. I basically went into a tattooists on my 18th birthday and just picked one with no thought or anything. It doesn't bother me at all but I just wish I'd picked something better. There are a couple of ones that I particularly like, regarding design and body placement. I really like the idea of small bird outlines on the wrist. I know a few people have them but I just think they are really pretty.




Where I think tattoos look amazing though, is the top of the foot. It just looks so painful. And would maybe look a little odd when 60 year old... But for a 20 year old girl, they look good. What I would probably get would be a Cameo brooch. Do not ask me why, as I don't know. I just love the design. And I haven't seen anyone with a cameo brooch tattoo before. I'd love something like this on the top of my foot.
What do you think?

SET FIRE TO THE RAIN

Not much to report today. Worked for 3 hours which was pretty pointless, felt like I was there for about 20minutes. And I probably paid more in bus fare than I got for working. Never mind. I did go to town after my shift to see if I could find anything nice to buy though. And that I did. I came home with a pair of jeans, belt, espadrilles and a kimono jacket, all from Primark. Only spent £21 as well so it brightened my day. I've been wanting a pair of espadrilles for a while now, just to basically throw on when it's sunny. They'll come in really handy for Glasto as well, weather permitting that is! So I thought I would show you my lovely £10 jacket from today's little haul.



Pretty isn't it? I love the colours. And it'll be perfect when it's too warm to put on a jacket. I'm particularly funny about my arms, I don't really like showing them so it's great for me. I'm wanting to buy a black scallop top to wear with it, so that's next on my list. I've seen a one on ebay for £6.99 which is identical to the topshop one so I may buy that come pay day on Friday. 
I also need to apologise for the anamalistic hair, I'm trying not to use hair driers or straighteners on it so it recovers a bit from the excessive dying. I can barely get a brush through it when soaking wet, it's that bad! So i've gone for a bit of a hair detox.
Also, if anyone read my last post you will know that I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean at the cinema on Saturday. And I wasn't impressed to be honest. Maybe it was the unexciting story line, or maybe it was the lack of Orlando Bloom. Probably the latter. I did love the mermaids though, they were beautiful! It just wasn't as good as the others I thought. I'm hopefully going to see X-men in the next week, which I have heard great things about.
And for all the people out there who love Twilight as much as me...
EXCITING STUFF EY?!

You've got my heart in a headlock.

How nice was it yesterday please?! Amazing. Shame I was at work for 8 hours... But I am just trying to think of payday next Friday when I will be able to buy so many pretty things. I have my eye on a couple of H&M dresses. I am so lucky to have a wonderful boyfriend that works at H&M. 25% discount, YES PLEASE ;). I did manage to catch a couple of hours of sun so as soon as I got in from work, I quickly got out of the black and put on the most colourful top I could find. Also, I thought it was about time I introduced to the love of my life. My floppy hat...





Isn't she a beauty? I bought her off ebay about 2 months ago for £10. I haven't yet had a good excuse to wear her, but I might take her to Glastonbury. 19 days and I will be in a sunny field in Somerset, SOOO FRIGGIN' EXCITED MAN!
Anyway, tonight I am going to the cinema to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Just gutted Orlando isn't in it anymore. I love him, so yummy! Not really arsed about Keira Knightly though, she never really did it for me. Me and my mum always think she has a face that looks like it's been hit with a pan. Very wide and flat... haha. It's probably only jealousy though, getting to kiss The Bloom. I reckon I wouldn't complain if I looked like her, so it probably is just jealousy. Oh well.
What I do find annoying though, is that all the good films come out at once! There is nothing good to see for months at a time, but then for about a month you find yourself wanting to see about 5 films! I'll just have to make time to see the new X-men film and The Hangover. 
Have any of you seen any of these films? Any thoughts?


Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Lots of hugs and kisses xoxoxo

Beagle Love

Just a big 'HELLO' to fellow bloggers, from Chuck and Murphy xo

H!

I've been working so much recently that I don't know what to do with myself on my day off. Work has been so unbelievably hectic the past 5 days. Take That have played at The Stadium of Light (Sunderland's football stadium) for 4 days and I have never seen so many people in a pub at any one time before. We were rushed off our feet. And if I didn't hate Take That before this weekend, I do now! 
Anyway, I thought today was a good time to do an outfit post seeing as though I am not spending the day in my all black uniform. I'm not doing anything in particular today, but I fancied putting on something decent as I am back to work tomorrow and 'back to black'.


I bought this playsuit off ebay about 4 month ago, and I have worn it so many times. It looks great with tights during the day, or with heels on a night out. Very versatile. It's a Henry Holland playsuit with coloured lips all over it. I've teamed it with a belt and Topshop brouges. No tights today either as the sun has decided to make  an appearance. 
Before I go in the garden, I intend to make a start with Desperate Housewives. I am up to date with all of my other programmes so thought it was a good a time as any to give it a watch. 
Keep well xox
