Been a while since i did a post on this.
One of them was
"Get a new year's kiss at midnight" which i did. :3
Next week i am heading back to uni and have decided to mix FICE of the things on my list together:
- Wear Makeup Every Day for a Week
- Learn 3 new Hair styles
- Wear a Skirt or Dress everyday for a week
- Take photos of my outfits for a week and blog about them.
- Spend a week without facebook (although it will probably need to turn into Tumblr as i am WAY more addicted to that than facebook right now)
Goodness.....
but the only thing i really need to concentrate on next week is my essay which is practically done anyways so yeah.....
There will be lots of photo-y goodness next week. :) Need to perfect the art of getting my circle lenses in.... :/

Internet Haul
So i just spent a little too much money online. I got paids early so went a bit mad. but i won't be buying myself anything but food for a while so i thought i'd treat myself.
First up is this pair of socks cause i don't have any purple ones
then i got this jumper cause omfg it's cute!
Both of these things are from Asos.com. The jumper was a BIT on the expensive side but it's too cute to pass up.
Last but definitely not least are these Angelic Pretty Lucky Pack socks i found on ebay of all places! :O
So happy! and now i can tick "buy something from AP" off my 101 in 1001 list. :D

101 things in 1001 days 2 pt 4-5
Took me a while to write this post up as i have been suuuuuuper busy with uni and really stressed with all the work i've had to do.
On the thursday of my "not wearing anything black week" I stayed at home to do my uni work. It was really cold that day so this is what i snuggled up in all day.
This is how i had my hair that day. I felt very cute. XD
On the friday i clean forgot to take a photo of what i wore. so i guess i failed one of the 2 tasks i set myself that week. XD

101 Things in 1001 Days 2 pt 2 - 3
On tuesday i wore this:
Cardigan: Primark
Tshirt: Zara
Skirt: H&M (i think)
Tights: no idea, TKMaxx?
Shoes: Converse
I always regret wearing this skirt and i always forget it. Every time i wear it i think "oh! I've not worn this in a while!" There's a reason. It's slightly too small for me and waaaaay too short to be comfortable! So i felt awkward all day in it. >:/
Today i was this!
I didn't wear the scarf in the end but i got it in a charity shop
Tshirt: Primark
Dress (under the tshirt): Primark
Tights: Ebay
Shoes: (not photographed) Dr Martins
Jumper: (also not pictured) Old Navy
I enjoyed wearing this. I felt very cute and more fairy-kei than i have all week. I dressed more for comfort after yesterday's skirt palava.

101 in 1001: Cake Decorating Course
The first of my tasks on my 101 things in 1001 days is completed! yay!
On tuesday the 27th i went on a cupcake decorating course! It was a present from my brother for my birthday. i just kept forgetting it which it why i booked it for like 4 months after my birthday. haha!
I had to stay at my parents house because it was in reading and mum drove me.
This is what i wore
Top: H&M
Skirt: handmade
Shorts: H&M i think?
Socks: Elle
Necklace (not in photo): Headless Tess (one of a kind! :3)
I was feeling very self concious because of how little was was wearing but it turned out to be suuuuuuper hot in the room we were in so i was kinda glad in the end
We had some time to kill before the course started so we went to a cafe up the road called Maison Blanc. I had the saucicon and brie baguette and HOMIGOD it was good. XD
It wasnt just a cafe it was a boulangerie and a pattisserie too! they had some delicious looking pastries and macaroons and stuff.
I got there a little late. oops. but it hadnt started yet and they were waiting for 2 more people after me so it wasnt too bad.
I couldn't take photos all the way through because my iphone was running out of battery and my hands were very sticky most of the time. o.0
The only photo i got of the cakes was this one:
It was on my mum's phone because mine had died. they're kinda squashed together by that point in the car. :( oh well.
The bow was my tribute to lolita. haha
All in all it was a good day. some of the stuff i knew already but some of it was really interesting and informative. :)
