Fringing...

With my last essay due before Easter I am taking the typical student way out and procrastinating like hell. Litarlly I am loosing the plot due to writing so much about Victorian class structure and poverty that all I want to do is headbut my computer screen into oblivion. Believe me it is only a short matter of time until i actually do. So i thought that I would break up the time before I head over to the gym to have a much needed stress relieving jog on blogging my day.

As I am only at uni I'm not overdressed but I quite like todays choice of outfit, even if it is all black, an unusual occurance unless it's a little black dress. My Jeans and jacket come from Topshop. The jeans are a pair of high wasted Jonis in black, they are not the denim ones however so they are solid black and as of yet the colour is not fading. They were also cheaper than the current collection of Joni's. I love high waisted jeans, as I dont really have a bum and hips, im have more flab on the front they are really flattering. The jacket I have to say is the one of the two gems in my wardrobe. Its a vintage style fringed suede jacket and goes with almost anything. It however was a one off find on ebay, the fool who sold it also let it go for just £12 so i definatly found a winner. Its great for summer and going out but right now its actually quite chilly to wear in the day so it doesnt get as much attention as it deserves. The top is just a basic chiffon cami from American Apparels last season, i'm borrowing it off my neighbour but the t-shitrt I had on earlier was boring.

As it was pretty sunny this morning I treated myself to a frapee from Cafe Nero, this is my new favourite coffe shop simply due to the mint frapee's and white chocolate mochas. I have always been a Starbucks girl but I fear the Italians may have for now, won my love. It's definatly the place to be getting a summer drink from as the frappee menue is huge, it ranges from lemon, to coffee, to strawberry and everything in between. What more could you possibly want from an iced drink.



Finally being a metropolitan uni girl on the all saints campus of Manchester, the only decent place to eat is the Eight Day Cafe. It offers a great range of healthy take away food. I was starving so decided to treat myself to a feta and spinich parcel and a cocunut and cherry flapjack. This came to £2.40 which considering the fact the flapjack was the size of my head, made my day. Im meant to be dieting but who cares I need my energy for all this mundane essay writing.


However I have to get to the gym now, considering that the flapjack probably contained my daily intake of calories. Until tomorrow.

Happy 21st!

Last nigh it was a friends 21st, with an air of sophistication we went for a lovely meal to a perfect Italian, San Carlos (Manchester) The food was tasty and the atmosphere buzzing especially when the waiters sung happy birthday. The dress code was smart casual, I wore a black silk Kimono dress and some leopard print caged heels. Not the best of pictures to describe my outfit but at least its something. For the first time in years I straightened my hair and as always it looked pretty flat but at least it got a good blow dry from it. After the meal we went to a famous Manchester bar called Mojos, these can also be found in other cities around the world.

Was a sweet and sophisticated night.

What I Wore 29/01/13

                                                              Old Favorite


Never doubt an old favorite, the skirt although given to me by a friend is without a doubt one of my favorites  It's a great print never dull, and a flattering shape. To bring it up to date I teamed it with a white baggy T-shirt and some bulky boots. The boot laces have been changed making them less bulky with a bit of ribbon.


Everything is Topshop seen as I was off to work...

Top and boots current season
