I have not posted for a while and not sure when I'll post again. My Mum committed suicide on Friday. Has been horrible and will continue to be horrible.Love axxx

Spending a rio

ASOS have been doing a comp to add loads of stuff in your bag with the chance of winning it all......That was a good hour wasted!!!

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=hp#!/ASOSOfficial?v=app_173957682649087


In my bag I included many items from bikinis to playsuits to a leather satchel, more brogues (though I am STILL waiting on the Bertie brogues) and now I really hope I win, though the chances are slim.Here are a selection of bits that I put in my basket

ASOS leather vintage style satchel

ASOS Techno Boheme Printed Jersey Culotte

Mango heart skirt

One teaspoon tie back bandeau dress

Vivienne Westwood for Melissa

YMC playsuit

I haven't got any piccies of moi to put up today as I've been revising most of the time and felt a picture of me going crosseyed attempting to revise tax law wasn't a very good idea.

On the plus side, I am now one of my CLP's representatives at county party level, which is quite exciting. The BF is off to Glasgow on the 12/13th Feb weekend for the youth conference. Most GF's would probably be sad as it is valentine's weekend, however as I have three exams the next weekend I feel its a blessing. (Thats right 3 exams at a weekend!!!YUK!!)

On Tuesday I am off out for my friend Michelle's 21st, so should have a few nice piccies from that. Not sure what I'm going to wear yet, will plan tomorrow me thinks. Am spending tomorrow revising and getting my eyebrows waxed (prob go for a cheeky costa as well) deffo be the revision that will be the most painful.

Off to sleepies now, (sorry about the dullness of this post, will be more exciting next time I promise)

Love axxxx

Let's talk about tax baby

Not really. My lawschool tutor sung that (Salt 'n' Peppa I believe) to try and get us to enjoy tax law, sadly it didn't work!!!Just a quick un today, just got back from Aquagym and am FAMISHED!!!!!Got salmon cooking in the oven and am very excited so this post is a race against time as it were!!!

Today I thought I'd do a quick review of the product that got me so OBSESSED with soap and glory. That product is this....NO Clogs allowed!!!As you can see from above it is very well used in my house. This is about my 3rd bottle. My Mummy and BF both use it as well!

I put about a grape sized amount on my face and rub it in quite ferociously. The mask heats up (quite strange the first time) and leaves your skin feeling very soft and well clean.Timing  Depends on what kind of face mask you want to be honest. I leave it on from 5- 15 mins. I would throughly recommend it!!!!

Anyways food and revision await!!!Night all,

Pearly queen and dreams of Paris

Hi all,

Well I have had a throughly lazy weekend and haven't done the Lawschool work that I wanted to. Nevermind!!!!I think its done me good to have some chillaxing time and I plan to work really hard this week as the exams are only a month away. On the positive side I have actually taken a few pictures for the blog!!!!:)I am very pleased with myself!

On Friday I had a bit of a spend up and bought the Bertie brogues that I featured a couple of posts ago. I also went to Topshop and had a rather disappointing time, the lace dress I was desperate for just didn't look quite right. In the 14 it fitted but was too baggy round the waist adding inches which I really do not need. Whereas in the 12 it was too tight on my childbearing hips!!!I also didnt like the trousers as they were a tiny bit too short (even in the tall range!!!) I did like a burt umber type top but at £32 I thhought it was a bit pricey for how many times I'd wear it!!

In HM I did have a bit more success and bought myself a skirt (which I haven't worn to take a piccy of yet) a summer maxi dress and a very Hepburn style hat. We are going to France this summer which both are perfect for. The dress was half price at  £7 and the hat a bargain at £3!Furthermore as my Mum says, "When it gets to summer the hats will be about £20 and there won't be one you'll like!!!"

I do look like a bit of a chubba but oh well!!!The hat and dress are HM and the necklace is an oldie from Accessorise

Cheesy Cheesy

 After reading Kirsty's blog I just had to get the Model's own Snow white nail varnish. Boots are doing 3 for £10 on any Model's own products so I also purchased another needed bottle of 3 in 1 top coat/base coat/gloss and the Pearly Queen nail vanish

Snow white with a top coat of pearly white. Very cute!!!

Anyways, my gorgeous BF bought me two new books today so I am going to get a Fairtrade cocoa and delve in to one of them whilst snuggling!Night night!!!

Photo Resolution

I have decided that I need to start putting more of my own photos in my blog. I am pretty self concious when it comes to image shots of myself but feel it'll be quite nice just to capture pictures of my life a bit more..

Law school today was knackering, the whole commute does wear me out and the day is so intellectually challenging I'm always ready to hit the hay when I get back.Today we had a stand-in for our usual company tutor as he was off sick. I found her far more interesting than the others tutours on the course. I think it was a mix of her teaching style and the fact that she had been so successful in her career as a solicitor (Legal Director of a bank-pretty heavy stuff). It's irritating that I don't get the opportunity to have that type of teaching every week but ah well....

Anyway that was my little update....ironically without any photos :-)

Speak soon

EdMill's bodyguard and payday

The fabian conference was fantastic!!!After catching up with friends the night before, the BF and I were sleepyeyed but keenly waiting at the institute of education in Russel Square for the day ahead. My job for the first part of the day was to ensure that no-one entered the "green room" where EdMil and his hunkychunky bodyguards were to be hanging. It was absolutely terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I was told that no-one was allowed in including other speakers from the day. I had visions of saying no to Simon Hughes (Dept Lib Dem leader) and Polly Toynbee (renowned Guardian journo).

Following my few hours in bouncering I became a roving microphone for Ed's speech and several others through the day. It was terrifying, I ran around like a rabbit in headlights and looked like a complete idiot. The speech and his way of speaking was brilliant. For a copy of the speech you can read it here.

Due to exams looming and the rate of work at lawschool increasing I am very much looking forward to payday (Friday) and have been amassing a list of things to try on as well as buy. Here is a short selection so far!!!

Bertie Brogues from Asos.com Were £75 now £37

Tall Scallop Edged Vest from Topshop £15

Tall cream bell sleeved shift dress Topshop £48

Tall Peg Leg Trousers New Look Was £21.99 now £14.99

Tall Tapered Trousers Topshop £38

Peter Pan dress Peacocks £16

Wah Nails/Models own Nail art pen £5 (I want them in both black and white)

Barry M Nail Paint £3.99

My last attempt with Barry M nail varnish on top of Lilac dream by Model's own

I also am in such a mood to buy some really good books, not that I have time to read them at the moment!!!Any suggestions????

Love axxx

Just a quick one

Off to lawschool again tomorrow.I'm finding it so much harder post-Christmas!I think that it's a mixture of the dark mornings and the general down feeling you get that everything is over.

On the plus side I'm stewarding at the fabian conference on Saturday which is rather exciting. Ed Milliband is doing the keynote speech and it will be interesting to hear his views and ideas on which direction the Labour party is going to take! Hopefully I will meet some interesting people and hear some inspirational talks.

Anyways I'm shattered and have an early start. Just put on my night cream (Soap and Glory suprise suprise) and am off to bed.
