Topshop PJs

I've always used old tops as pyjamas or anything comfortable but after seeing Topshop's range in the Nottingham shop during the week I know what I'll be putting on my Christmas list this year!

Here are a few of my favourites.








And my favourites....I have to get these just as a reminder of my dog!

New Top Coat

Thanks to one of my flatmates I have been introduced to a new matte top coat.

This is the perfect way to reinvent you're nail varnish collection but only having to pay for one new pot.

It's important to make sure your coloured nail varnish is even before painting over with the top coat.

Friday Night

After spending the day doing uni work me and my flats mates decided to top up our Twilight knowledge before the 5th and final film comes out next month.

Twilight, a new coat of Barry M Gelly in Blood Orange, and lots of chocolate and banter...what else could you want for a Friday night in?


The Big Bang Theory

For my latest uni project we have been asked to select a TV programme and create a new product range for it.

I have chosen to base my work on The Big Bang Theory and create a 'Geeks Guide To Pulling Kit'.

Din Dins

I'm not a good cook. I can do the basics but I wouldn't willingly feed anyone my food.

Luckily for me we've been having weekly meals as a flat and here are a few of them.


Lasagne and chocolate cake (Our flat number is B2)




Chilli with homemade chips and apple crumble




Cottage pie

Photoshoot

So the reason I've been awful with writing my blog is that I've had a photoshoot to arrange and I did it on Wednesday.

The idea behind the shoot was to promote a local retailer and my group was given a gun shop. From this we decided to do a family day out photoshoot.

We were lucky that one of the girls in our group has family members that go shooting so we were able to get most stuff arranged through her.

Here are a few of the best photos from the shoot. They are currently unedited.

Who is Mr Hyde?

Since stopping work in London I've missed my free weekly copies of Stylist and Shortlist. The recent issue of Stylist had a 20% off voucher for French Connection so I was able to pick up both Stylist and Shortlist in French Connection today.

Shortlist had a clever advert that was not clear what it was for. Being a Fashion Promotion student I immediately pulled it out to look and later.

'Who is Mr Hyde'

Now I figured I would be silly not to try to find out more so I went to the website and it looks as though it's a clever new website Shortlist has created to promote itself.


This is currently all the information I have so it will be interesting to see what I get through.

Bad Blogger

So the last week has been crazy since I've been back at university so my blog has been the last thing on my mind but I will try to make sure I update it a couple of times a week in the future.
