~ do you think of her.

Ahh, this is my wonderful work uniform! Yes, I get to wear this gorgeous outfit to work! It's by far the cutest outfit I've ever gotten for uniform, we've got such adorable pieces in at the moment, I was truly spoiled for choice, I loved these shorts from the minute they came in, and then a week later this top arrived and it was the perfect pairing, and my outfits featuring on one of the mannequins so it's selling really well!
Finally had the time to sit down with YouTube and teach myself how to do the fishtail braid! This is only the second time I've done it to a standard I consider acceptable enough to show the outside world, but I love it now! It's something that is absolutely perfect when you're having a bad hair day and don't want to just shove your hair up in a pony or a bun. It's something you'll need patience to master, it's quite fiddly to be honest, and I got pretty angry with myself a lot of the time when I'd mess it up, haha! So be patient if you want to master this cute and different way to spice up your hair! (How lame did that sound! Oh dear.)

~ it's time you had the talk

Hello new blouse! Thank you work.. Taking all my hard-earned pennies right back from me. It's very vintage-esque and easy to wear, which makes it so loveable!
And I told you these shorts would become a MASSIVE part of my life, yep, it's happened. I wear them with absolutely everything possible.
Oh, and those sunglasses.. were £3.50! For me anyway.. I won a competition in work, selling 20 dresses in 1 day before any other staff member, and the winner got to choose a pair of sunglasses and receive 75% off the retail price, so they'd normally be £14, but I got them for so much less! I don't normally wear sunglasses, but I have tried to wear them more seeing as I got them SO cheap, and we've had some gorgeous weather here, so it's been the perfect time for it!
Final week of college! Over with the mask performances, now for the Musical Theatre showcase, finally! Can't wait, and my best friend comes home tomorrow for the summer! GAH, she's been greatly missed.

~ can I handle the seasons

Hello! I really liked this outfit, as it kind of looks like a playsuit or a 2 in 1 of some kind. As I predicted, I am LIVING in these little shorts, dressed up and dressed down, bang on trend.
I'm growing ever more aware of all my friends around me turning 18, tonight was my lovely friend Sophie's surprise meal and drinks affair for her 18th, and I realised, everyone who attended was 18, and I still have 2 and a half months left until I turn the big 1-8. I am a young'en with my birthday falling on 31st August, last one in the year.. And I'm growing impatient! 
Anyway, so it's only Thursday and I've already done 25.5 hours at work! And another 4 this weekend down in the concession in House of Fraser, and as I thought, the sale launch was MENTAL, so many customers, so many orders coming in! But honestly, it's such a great sale it's no surprise!
And, it's most definitely the home stretch as far as college is concerned, it's the final week before our end of year showcases, so we're doing technical runs, getting everything prepared and finishing off the final bits of work, and then we have a round off week after the shows, which I probably won't even go in for all of it, as I've kept up to date with my written work, which is a rarity! I'm so excited it's nearly over, then the next things are my final show in Plymouth with Music of the Night, my birthday and then 2 weeks later I move out and off up to London, oh it's all coming about quickly!
I'll have to grow up then, I guess..

~ take what the water gave me


| dress: oasis |

Hola new work uniform! 100% silk, belted and buttoned at the back, and SO GORGEOUS! I fell in love with it as soon as it came in! £75 though, so it bit an epic chunk out of my uniform allowance, oh well, it was worth it! And today was my first shift wearing it, and I can say it's very comfortable and easy to move in, maybe not so elegant when you bend down, it has a tighter-fitting underskirt which made it a bit weird to bend down in, but otherwise I really love it, and I highly recommend it.
Also, I will just say, watch out for something great from Oasis, that's all I'm saying!
