All by myself

A Friday night should not be spent at home, alone, doing work. But for me this is exactly how it will be spent, well maybe not a lot of work will get done and instead I shall watch films and paint my nails ready for Alex's 21st tomorrow night. She is having a masquerade mask themed evening which is pretty exciting I must say...I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago and it is a really sweet black lace bat-winged mask which is simple but effective. The others have been far more creative and hand made theirs so I will be looking forward to seeing the creations.

It has been yet another busy week, hmm these posts seem to be becoming rather repetitive, I guess that is third year uni life for you! It has been a productive week, on Monday for our dissertation project, Alex, Jaime, Sarah and myself (aka Trinket Creative) held our first workshop event for Media Talent Bank. It was about the wondrous world of social media, very exciting. The day went considerably smoothly and as far as I know people found it useful?! Another box to tick off our ever-growing list of things to do for our project...

After my moans last time about longing for the beautiful dress from Topshop I thought it only right that I rest your worries because I bought the dress!! It is simply lovely and was obviously meant to be because as I rushed into town for this one reason, I frantically searched Topshop's rails, nope not there (sigh) so I hurried over to Selfridges and there it was...just one left in my size, so I snapped it up without a second thought (ok that is a lie, I have had many thoughts of the naughty money I have spent, but then I look at it and all the guilt disappears, it's odd). So yes I am very happy and it will be making its first appearance at Georgie's 21st at the end of April, it seems so far away.

Ok enough of that, I am venturing home for Easter on Monday and I cannot wait. Even though I will be panicking and writing up my dissertation I am really looking forward to having some time away from uni and quality time at home, yay. Then I can come back in a week or so feeling refreshed and ready to bosh out all the work that needs to be done by June...not a problem. Nope.

Dress Money Fun

Oooh been a little while since I last posted something, time has run away from me! Cannot believe it is March already, and there are signs of warmer weather yay. Sun beaming through the windows but then you step outside and it is still a bit nippy so not quite shorts and t-shirt weather yet, booooo.

Another busy week has been had along with a delightful date last week at the ballet. Jaime and I went to see Birmingham Royal Ballet's performance of The Sleeping Beauty and it was absolutely amazing. It makes me want to dance although I would never have the skill and talent that they have. A stunning performance and my love for the ballet is building so I will be sure to go again, hopefully with my mum cos I know she loves it. The outfits - ah the outfits were gorgeous, very girly and sparkly and I just love the tutu, wish we could go around wearing them everyday...although a few odd looks may come my way!

Also speaking of dresses I have FALLEN IN LOVE with one I have spotted in Topshop, a little pricey for my bank balance at the moment but I am convincing myself it is an investment! Plus I need a new dress for my friend, Georgie's 21st in April and this one would be perfect. So I may be making a purchase this weekend, naughty.

But look how pretty it is:



It needs me and I need it.

I am really excited for this weekend because the parentals and Annie are coming to visit! T'will be lovely to see them and we are going for a delicious chinese on Saturday evening because I have been craving it loads lately, yum yum yum.
