#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.



I decided to get 'contemporary' for the main walls and then 'candyfloss' for two smaller walls. I am hoping that my new room will be looking cute and homely in no time once I have it decorated and everything moved in properly!


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!
