Graduation

Dress: Dorothy Perkins

If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen what I got up to this Tuesday.

I attended my graduation ceremony!

I passed my course in July however I missed the summer graduation so went to the January ceremony instead.

IT. WAS. COLD!!!!

But mama was proud and that was the main thing!

All in all the day was slightly stressful, travelling by train to Leicester and back again with your family whilst trying to get to places on time is not the most enjoyable task in the world.

I can't deny it though, I did feel a sense of pride. I had finally completed something even if it was 3 years later than the rest of my friends.

University was perhaps one of the most challenging part of my life to date.

I found it hard being away from my friends, being over 21 and not making the same choices in life that my friends were, essentially I still felt like a child whilst being at university, a trapped child.

But I knew I had to persevere and with the help of my immediate family and close friends (aka extended family) 

I made it and I am VERY happy!

I want to take another moment to announce another small victory. My graduation dress was a size 10! 

For someone who used to wear a size 22, I feel as though I am winning this year!

I am truly blessed!

Christmas (and consecutive months) Wishlist

IT IS DECEMBER!!!! HOW AND WHEN?!

Obviously my priorities are a bit all over the place as I have spent more time thinking of my Christmas wishlist than my work (Facepalm!) but don't worry I will get onto my work soon.

My wishlists (yes I have more than one) are always ridiculously large and for Christmas I tend to ask more for gift vouchers so that I can shop at my fav places as I never really want one thing in particular but I have seen a few things that I am lusting after.

Since my birthday is in February I call this my Christmas (and consecutive months...I am generous with time ;)) wishlist...hint hint family and friends!

1. Some amazing shoes that I found on Ebay! How awesome are they?!


2. Jeffrey Campbell Roscoe, YUM!


3. Jeffrey Campbell The Laced Shoe


4. Viktor And Rolf Flowerbomb


5. Another pair of awesome Ebay shoes, got the heads up for these ones from Sammi: Beauty Crush

6. Dorothy Perkins Cape


7. Naked 2, wanted the first one but since the second one is on its way, why not?


8. ASOS Cape, been in love with this for a hot minute now!


9. AA Pouch, these pouches are RIDICULOUSLY expensive due to the fact that they are real leather but I found a tutorial that shows you how to make these for a fraction of the price...check it out here!
I will be making my own instead of buying it.

10. Black Maxi Dress, loving this one from ASOS plus it's petite which is great as I am only 5' 3"!


11. My ENTIRE Nasty Gal wishlist which is too long to post! LOL!


Obv my wishlists are all much bigger than this but let's take it one step at a time!


Unfortunately I do not own a black AmEx just yet :(


What are you throwing hints for?


Lemme know!
