NEW CHAPTER NEW GIRL

I have finally finished uni and handed in my last ever coursework. The best feeling in the world was handing in that celebrity culture literature review. Found out today that I got a B, so I am now extra happy!
Gonna miss the fashion management course and all my fashion girlies, but I now have more time to blog so watch this space.

2011 in a blog post.

I have decided to continue with my blog after a few (like 10 months) of absence. Absence makes the heart grow fonder though right?
I feel like this is something I do this time every year to avoid the prospect of doing coursework. This is a NO coursework zone so i shall not mention it again.

2011 was defiantly a year to remember and a year i hope to never forget. A year of laughter, tears, fallout's and reunions.

I suppose i shall start with the fashion show. Our university class designed and produced a spectacular fashion event, The Wonderland Fashion Show, where i modeled and chose the clothing. It was really a win win situation for me.
Here are a few photo's of me from the show. Makeup and Hair were wild but fit well with the theme! I look like an extra from katy Perry's ET vid.

Next up is the Summer holidays which could not be described as holidays as I worked my Butt off at Claires Accessories, over now tho! I spent a couple of weeks at home with my friends and family, attending many a fabulous social event. There was the Civic Week ball that my friends and I attend yearly which was oh so fabulous and full of drama of course. Then there was the annual street party which takes place in the square and which i actually have no memory of... then there is the Border Union Show weekend. Always a drunken fun time at the show, drinking beer from my fathers trade tent in the sun with my friends. 
This was also one of my best friends Rhona's last weekend in Kelso before she headed of for California. She is loving it and i am missing her muchos! she is actually celebrating her 21st this week in Vegas Baby!
Here are a few snaps from summer 2011:



The its back to uni, doing coursework, working hard bla bla bla.
We have visits to Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh and a lovely hen weekend away! A surprise party for my own 21st and then the wedding of the year.. or even this decade.




So that is 2011 in an egg shell... or a blog post. I can't decide whether 2012 could be able to top that!

Tuesday

When in Edinburgh I took advantage of the shops and went on a spree. I'm not proud of myself but I have alot of gorgeous clothes to show for it.

At River Island I got this Moustache tee £19.99 - a perfect item of clothing to take on my trip to Paris perhaps? (clearly i'm going to attempt to go to a million different locations this summer.) I also got these ditzy print culotte shorts for £14.99. Bargain.
When I visited Topshop in the Sleet, Snow and Rain, I left with this lovely umberella £15 and these miley fur buckle boots £36

I visited Miss Selfridge at least 5 times a week to see what was on offer... and i got this camel wool mix slouchy tee for £16
I decided that I needed new, expensive makeup so I bought some Bobby Brown goodies. I will never go back to a high street branded foundation. I love my Bobby Brown Natural Finish Long Lasting Foundation and Everyday Mascara and Foundation Brush. Cant wait to buy more.

Ulla Pants (coming in next week)
