It's been a while..

Woahhh. Hey there world! Long, long time no speak. I'd be here all day if I told you everything I'd been up to over these past six months or so, so I'll keep it short and sweet! I've not got an excuse as to why I didn't blog, I was just living my life having a fantastic time and blogging got lost along the way unfortunately :( I thought the best way to come back would be to put together some of my favourite memories over the months

Basically. I went to Tenerife, then two weeks later I'm off to Amsterdam, I crammed in so many nights out and managed to consume just as many takeaways (eek!) I turned the grand age of 21 and finally got round to learning to drive. Next thing I know I've bought a car, I made new friends as quickly as I lost them and yes I made a fair amount of mistakes but learnt very quickly from them, I tried new things and left behind some old things, I had my hair chopped off and despised it, I worked hard and played harder! I can safely say I can't wait to start the next chapter of my life :)

What Happened in January

Green photo, thanks Photobucket! | Christmas chocolates | Yes! | Become addicted to hot chocolate this month | Summing up 2012 | Braved the snow | Lush bath | Snow, yay! | More snow | Umm, more snow? | Leggings for snowy days | "I don't like snow! MEOOWWW!" | Horsey dress up ;) | My little pony | Abandoned bus | Bargain jeans

RIDE IT | Bunny lamp | Glitterz | Pinning | Curly girly | House of Holland | eBaying | Rubbish candle | Blog sale anyone? | Valentine's present | Upcoming post | Looking through old nights out pictures, haha!

Some of these pictures aren't in the right order for some odd reason, I'm sure you get the gist though! January really isn't the most exciting month, I always find it such an anti climax after all the Christmas cheer. Christmas seems like SO long ago! The snow was pretty exciting, although I might be alone in that statement! I enjoyed the January sales too but that's come to a stop as I'm now putting myself through one months spending ban. Going well so far, I'm a week in and have only spent a couple of quid.

January has included me becoming addicted to Pinterest, I can't stop! Leave your links below, my link is here. Also I really have loved blogging this month. It's so nice to interact with all of you and I've had some really lovely comments. Thank you so much! ♥

February should be a bit more of an exciting month, PANCAKE DAY! There's also LFW, it's my dream to attend one day! Are any of you going?

What Happened In December

Looking back on December, I'm wondering how I managed to fit so much in! It was a great month, I absolutely love the build up to Christmas and all the festivities that come with it. January is always such an anti-climax afterwards, I don't think I have anything planned for this month, boo :(

I'm quite looking forward to September, I'm going to be working more which means MONEY! An iPad and the Office Nighthawks shall be mine. Let me know if you've got an iPad, which one you've got, what colour, which network you're with.. Basically everything haha :D

What Happened In July

Sorry, I've been a bit MIA! Like most of the nation I've got a bit caught up in with the Olympics, I'm currently favouring the TV over the internet - most rare!

July was quite fun filled. I went camping in the pouring rain, did some intense shopping on Oxford Street, turned 20, the Olympic torch came through my town on my Birthday, I had my braces off after two whole years, my friend and I did some epic planning, a mini heatwave - cue sunbathing, the Olympics began and then I went to watch the Cross Country!

Wedding Bells

Last Saturday, 19th May was my cousin's wedding. I thought I'd share a few pictures with you of the occasion and to show you what I wore! (I've been waiting months to wear this dress!)

Signing!

Confetti Overload

Dress: ASOS | Shoes: New Look | Bag: Radley

Make up of the Wedding ~ UD Naked palette, MAC lipglass in Emancipation and 99p Stores false eyelashes!

Pearl Collar: Primark | Nails: Nails Inc 'Bare' & Topshop 'Adrenalin' | Victorian rose gold bangle

I want these in my room!

Too much free booze | Dessert

Cake!

Huge stack of cards and my Dad being fancy!

Overall it was a really good day and I think everyone enjoyed themselves, especially after the ongoing supply of free champagne, wine, rose and then.. The brandy! There was loads of scrumptious food too which I overindulged in - the size of my food baby was shocking!

Have you got any weddings coming up?
