#2 Job hunting and Fieldview
Helloooooo there
For the past five days I've been staying in my new house and I cannot explain how much I love it here!
On Thursday my wonderful grandparents drove myself, my mummy and my brother down to Southampton so we could decorate. I was getting excited about painting but in the end I left it to my mum and granddad (which was probably for the best) as the rest of us just seemed to be getting in the way... I am SO happy with how it turned out and after staying here a few nights I feel nice and settled!
The first few nights my housemates and I convinced ourselves that our house was haunted. When it came to walking down the corridor when it was dark I was petrified! However, since then we have learnt to man up, get over it and move on! Haha.
Today Mark and I spent a grueling three and a half hours traipsing around Southampton high street in desperate search of jobs. A lot of places prefer you to apply online now but luckily there were a few places that accepted our CVs (lets hope they didn't just throw them away.. you never know..). So fingers crossed somewhere will get back to me soon! I've been lucky enough to avoid having a job up until now but as I am now 19 and living away from home, MAYBE it's about time I changed that! The thought of working actually excites me a little and the money wouldn't go a miss! I am sure that my views on this (well the first part) will change if anyone decides to employ me!
Tomorrow Mark and Natalie are joining me in returning to my hometown. This will be the first time that Nat will have come to mine and I am very excited for her to meet everyone properly! We will all be attending Fieldview Festival - a small festival held in a local village which is run by my friend, Shannon's family. This will be my second year at Fieldview and I cannot contain my excitement! The way that the festival is constructed is so pretty and cute. The signs used etc are all hand painted/made and there is a very friendly, comfortable atmosphere that you can't not enjoy. Last year Ben Howard performed there which was AMAZING, however many acts are smaller, more local artists that know how to work a crowd. There are many acts that I am looking forward to seeing this weekend Lucy Rose, The Icarus Youth and Josh Kumra are a small few (I would be here for hours if I was to list them all!). I will be sure to update my blog with a lot more information about my time this weekend at some point next week (before I hopefully jet off to Italy!).
Anyway, I MUST try and get some shut eye - my alarm is due to wake me up in seven hours and anyone who knows me will know I am definitely not a morning person!

#1 Retail therapy and decorating
Hello again!
Today I am a happy happy girl. The sun is shining yet again and I am currently in the midst of getting ready for a much needed catch up with two old school friends. I cannot wait to see them as this is very much over due!
When I returned home from Ibiza last Wednesday after a week in the beautiful sunshine, I was dreading coming home to wind, and rain, and everything that the summer isn't meant to consist of. However, this week the weather has done itself proud. I finally feel like it is actually the summer! Typically I seem to have broken both pairs of my sunglasses which is more than annoying. Luckily though my lovely mother is on her way to town to pick me up some more from that marvelous place that is Primark!
I found it tricky after returning from Ibiza to know what to wear after being in the heat, but thankfully I no longer have that problem! One thing I cannot get enough of is denim shorts. I basically live in my Levis from Urban Outfitters, they really are beautiful. Today the Levis are on and I am contemplating on a double denim combo.. I have never worn double denim before as I think it can either look really good or disastrous. Personally I think that I am more willing to brave it today as I know that it is hot so it's very unlikely that I will actually need to wear my denim jacket..
I am going back to Southampton on Thursday for a week for my friends birthday and I plan to decorate my room whilst I am there. So yesterday me and the mother went for a little shop in order to get paint and other 'essentials' for my new house.
As my room is on the top floor and there are A LOT of stairs to get through me and my mummy took advantage of the Laura Ashley sale and bought a very pretty tray. This way I might actually be able to carry everything upstairs with me without having to take multiple trips which would feel like the equivalent to hard work out at the gym!
As I am an absolutely HUGE lover of tea and biscuits I obviously also needed to be treated to some matching food storage boxes that I can keep all my tasty treats in!
Buying all this stuff gets me so excited to move in properly and make it feel homely!
As I was in town in only felt right that I also treat myself to a couple of things (with the sales calling it'd be rude to say no).
I bought myself this a new cross necklace which was an absolute bargin at only £2 from DP. I've wanted a necklace like this for a while now and for £2 I would have been stupid not to have bought it. I've been wearing it ever since I bought it so it's proving to be a good purchase so far!
When I first learnt what flatforms were I wasn't a fan, however they have since grown on me. As I am quite short they give me the extra bit of height that I need and elongate my legs. I was debating between this pair and another pair (both from New Look) which annoyingly I cannot find on the website. Since getting home I think I preferred the others as they were more casual and I would like to wear them mostly casually during the day. I am so indecisive that I am forever changing my mind when it comes to things like this! I plan to try these on with outfits that I am likely to wear and see what I think. If not, I will be paying another trip to New Look and hopefully doing an exchange!
Anyway, that is enough rambling on for me for one day! I am going to meet my friend now ready to go for lunch :D I am also seeing The Dark Knight Rises later with another friend. I've heard from a few people that it is really good so hopefully it'll live up to expectations!

Who is Becmo?
HELLO
My name is Bec Morton and so far I have proved to be awful at keeping up a blog but, I am determined to change that and keep this one up! Shamefully this is the third blog that I have started. I could have continued with the others but I don't like the idea of there being such large gaps between posts so I decided to start afresh with the birth of 'Becmo'!
I am hoping that as I am currently enjoying the not-so-summer-holidays and consequently have much more free time, that I will finally be able to get into the swing of this properly!
When I am not enjoying the 'summer' back at home I study Advertising at Southampton Solent University. I absolutely love the course and the city. I recently received my results for my first year and am happy to say that I achieved a very high 2:1 which makes me a very happy lady! A few weeks ago I picked up the keys for my new house which was SO exciting. I haven't really had the chance to move in properly yet but I am going down south on Thursday to do some decorating and catch up with my housemates which is all very exciting! I am sure that you will all hear much more about it in the coming weeks!
Although some people create blogs in order to showcase their work, Becmo will focus more on my interests and life in general. There is sure to be work mixed up in there somewhere but it will not be my sole focus. So whether you are interested in advertising or not, it doesn't matter!
It's now time for me to have a play around and try and make Becmo look pretty for all of you, because lets face it, no one likes an ugly webpage.
I WILL be back soon with lots of (what I hope you will find) interesting news!
