The one where I received two parcels.

So in the last couple of days I have received two lovely parcels; one from New Look and one from Forever21.  My New Look order included some basic vests in white, black and rust.  Now really I ordered this for the white and black vests but I am surprisingly drawn to the rust one so I am very pleased!  I also got a cream ruffled top and a chiffon pussy bow blouse to go with my brown skirt and shorts which I shall take a picture of at a later date to show you!  The much awaited riding boots also arrived.  I am still unsure as to whether I should have got brown ones instead of black so I havn't taken the stickers off yet.  I have been doing lots of dressing up to try to find outfits to wear with them, I am worried that they look too much like hooker boots!  I'll keep you posted on that one!

My other parcel was from Forever 21.

These are some of the earrings that I bought.  They are a sort of vintage gold colour with diamantes and as you can see they are in cute little angel wing shapes.  These came in a packet with fake pearls and diamante studs and only cost £2.40 which I thought was excellent.  Sadly my favourite fake pearls got broken at a beer festival that I went to with some of my friends a few weeks ago.  I honestly don't know how but I ended up with only one earring!

This is the necklace that ordered.  It is a little deer that you can have in either silver or gold.  I chose gold as it seems to suit my colouring much better.  I also bought a waist belt, knitted headband and some presents which, again, I am very pleased with.  A very successful online haul!  Good job my parents have gone away so that they can't nag me about just how many parcels I have been receiving!

The one where I pondered the meaning of the aformentioned blog.

So I have spent my day off (from my holiday job at a well known health and beauty store) watching Youtube beauty vlogs and reading various blogs.  I am a shameful girl in that I wear no makeup and until recently have taken very little care over what I wear.  I used to live in a uniform of vests, hoodies and jeans.  This is a product of having a lovely mum who wears no makeup, has short hair and likes to wear fleeces.  Fleeces are (in my opinion) the devil.  What I am trying to say is that there is no way I can be a beauty blogger when I use no beauty products and stopped taking photos of myself at the age of 16!  Once I work out how to blog with photos I vow to try to include some photos of my favourite outfits though and we shall see which direction this blog takes.

As I am currently on holiday from university I am earning lots of money and doing some very naughty internet shopping.  I have recently bought some brown chinos, shorts and brogues so I have been buying lots of floaty creamy tops to go with them and that will hopefully be suitable for teaching placement.  I am currently waiting for a New Look order to arrive.  New Look in my university town is a fair walk away from the main shops and my ex's ex works there which (stupidly) put me off however I find loads of great things online so when I go back to university I will try and go there more.  One of the items I am waiting for are some riding style boots.  Now I have been wanting a pair since last winter, a girl from my course who has a Youtube channel (and who doesn't know that I watch it) had some great ones in loads of OOTDs and New Look finally put some new season ones online.  I choose black because my sheepskin boots (not UGGs but Sketchers ones which are just as good if not better) are brown.  Fingers crossed they will suit me!

I am also waiting on a parcel from Forever21 which I only discovered the other day through beauty vlogs.  I have ordered a few pieces of gold jewellery including an owl watch necklace for my best friend from university who last year gave me loads of clothes that she had grown out of.  I had a bit of a moral dilema about whether to give her money for them or whether she would feel offended but my mum suggested I get her a present instead so here we go!

My day and indeed holiday has been full of music too.  My favourite band of the moment are Twin Atlantic.  I have never been so attracted to the Scottish accent in my life!  Check them out if you like indie music.  I saw them at 2000 Trees Festival (which was awesome) and fell in love with them!  I say check them out as though someone is actually reading this but I really doubt they are.  If anyone happens to stumble across me (I still don't really know how this works) please feel free to leave a comment to reassure me that I am not alone in the world!
