I received a lovely email of Michelle last night that put a smile on my face after having a not very good past few days! she explained that I was going to be her featured blogger of the fortnight and I could be found on her sidebar. As I've only been blogging for a few months and I'm not a huge blogger I was so pleased that somebody's blog I've loved for a while thought mine should be one to follow! (and my twitter too that I practically live on - I died a little inside when the whole übertwitter fiasco happened a couple of days ago)

as I said this morning on twitter I really don't know what I did before I started tweeting/blogging. I've met some absolutely lovely ladies and can't wait to meet a few of them next month! I admire so many of the people I follow, what they've been through and what they stand for. I've been going through a rough patch at the minute and I'd just like to say thankyou to all of the beautiful girlies that have checked up on me and reassured me everythings going to be okay!

Hiya everyone! Hope you're all doing okay and enjoying LFW, Some great shows going on atm.

Whenever I do one of these posts my picture always seems to be from Photobooth on my mac not my camera, I'm not too sure why, Probably the size of it but anyways..this picture is infact from yesterday as you can see my leopard blouse there. Only because if I showed a picture of me right now you would all probably run, screaming from my blog never to return again as I am SOSOSO tired! I look like a total ghost. I've been pretty exhausted recently and the impulsive/spur of the moment road trip to London yesterday at 11pm did no help at all! we didn't get back home 'till 3am, need I say more..

This week I handed in a job application at Kurt Geiger (fingers crossed!) I could really do with this job as I need money so much right now it's not even funny. I'm going to be able to drive soon so I need to buy and run a car and don't even get me started on insurance! I'm going on holiday with my BFF and various other things. One annoying thing about getting a new job is they always say "previous retail skills are needed" well what if you don't have any?! where the hell are you meant to start but whatever..

Oh and I am TOTALLY excited for the bloggers meet up in Sheff next month after Olivia has been getting me all excited! woo woo, If you live anywhere near Sheffield/East midlands you should really think about going, It's going to be a lovely and an amazing opportunity to meet everyone! If you want details just check out Lauren's blog posts here and here.

Some lovely ladies to follow; Blogs: Hannah, Kavita & Katie.

Just thought I'd do a quick update!

I hope you've all had a great christmas & are looking forward to new year?! Despite not really being into christmas that much this year I had a lovely day. I spent the morning at my boyfriends watching christmas movies and playing with Oscar (the dog) and had dinner there then came home, opened all my presents, watched Eastenders (OMG!!) then just sat around eating & chatting.

My favourite Present was my Cath Kidson 2011 diary, not the biggest and definitely not the most expensive but I've been wanting a new diary since forever, I love carrying them round with me and being able to pull them out to write down notes or inspiration on the go. What were your favourite presents?

Just before christmas I went to the opticians as I've been getting headaches at college, when reading etc. and yes, I did need glasses! As you can see I'm styling them in the picture, I really couldn't be bothered to go through the many pairs of glasses on offer so I went with the first ones the lady said "oh they look nice". Both my mum & dad wear glasses (or wore - my mum had laser eye surgery) so it was kinda evident I'd end up with them too.

I haven't really got anything planned for new years, been invited to a couple of parties & I'm borrowing someones ID to go to town (I hate only being 17!) so I'll probably just see where the wind blows me. I'm looking forward to get my blog really going in the new year and all the other adjoining sites and I'll be looking forward to seeing all your posts & finding new blogs!

I just wanted to say thanks to all my lovely followers so far and all the lovely people I've met through blogging/twitter. I hope you all have a fab new years & all look wonderful in your party dresses!
