Minty..

 Hello!! I'm back! Finally! From the most amazing week in Roma ever.. It was beautiful and I highly recommend anyone with a spare ££££ lying around to go ( or ask your parents ;) ) .. 

My week mostly included being a tourist which was amazing cause Rome is extraordinary. You turn your head and your looking at yet another beautiful building or you walk round a corner and The Pantheon or some other incredible structure is just there in front of you. 

But anyway, as you can see from the pics I'm a little pastey (I usually am) and I took these piccys before I went away.. But this is the outfit that I wore for my Dads 50th birthday meal in Roma. We sat outside a restaurant that looked over the Colosseum which was amazing and I drank Pina Coladas all night.. I'm going to put some photos up from my trip .. but not too many I don't want to bore you all in another post :)

HotHot..

I firstly would like to apologise for my lack of blogging recently. Just not acceptable! .. Well what is really unacceptable is how busy I have been over the past couple of weeks. Not only have I managed to get myself a second job working in a pub over the rest of the summer I've juggled working at the Olympics, - a 20 hour day i'll have you know -, visiting my flat up in Oxford, dog-sitting, baby-sitting, trying to see my friends and have a little time for myself (not easy). So I hope this is a decent enough excuse...

But on a more exciting note.. I am off to Rome at the end of the week.. I cannot wait. It's 35 degrees out there at the moment I'm going to frazzle! I thought I'd piece together a few outfits ready for when I go.. And this was as far as I got.... It's way too hot today to be trying on clothes! - I'm literally not going to survive is Rome..

Although I never thought much of their clothes, my wardrobe is becoming increasingly full of NewLook stuff.. Although I will always be an UrbanO girl at heart, NewLook are so good at essentials and, as I don't have a H&M within walking distance, their stuff does it for me! :)

I absolutely love maxi skirts and this is my fave.. I love burgundy and it goes with so much.. They're great when it's hot too and you don't want to burn to a crisp like i usually do.. 

Hopefully I'll have time to blog again before I go.. But if not.. Chau for now! X

Sparkles and Moustaches..

So last week the Tax Man was a lovely fellow and sent me a surprise in the post! Which meant I could go out on a bit of a splurge and I bought all sorts of fabulous stuff and am now a poor student once again - why do I do it to myself?!

The sparkly 'mermaid' skirt is from Topshop and I got it in the sale for an amazing £9! These summer sales have been amazing and I have got so many bargins!

I've had the same iPhone case since Christmas and as much as I love it, I like a change.. This cost me around £4 on Amazon! And is a bit of a hoot :)

I found these sparkly brogues in my local Oxfam and I love them! Haven't actually worn them yet as I'm a bit baffled as to what to wear with them.. But they look fabulously sparkly! - Suggestions please!

I also bought some flat little pumps from New Look.. They cost me £16 and they are so useful for just sliding into if you're running into town.. The fact that their quite pointy means I can wear them with dressier outfits too!



I'm off to work at the Olympics tomorrow to work at the women's marathon! I'm so excited to be a part of it.. Have to be up and on the coach to London at 3am though.. Wish me luck!
