New Year

-
Now I know that everybody makes new years resolutions (and very rarely sticks to them) but this year I think times will change. For me this year has been my first really different year, I've obviously had major changes in my life over the last 3 years but since I moved to Cardiff I think it's safe to say things are falling into place!

If I could ever tell people one thing it would be that you have to try things to know if you like them or not. Put it this way, the 19 year old me who toddled off to Manchester thinking I was going to love it and fall straight into a high flying fashion job was SO wrong. As a whole I love Manchester and feel like I could live there easily now, but three years ago it was a different story. I cried literally every minute of everyday and only realised how bad I was when I heard someone saying"Lucy? Is that the blonde one that cries all the time?" Now you don't want to be that girl do you?

On the plus side I did make some good friends in Manc who I am still in touch with now but Cardiff has been my place. My first year in Cardiff I re lived my fresher days and went out pretty much every night, my year was made up of embarrassing drunken stories and being poor.

This year...well I'm still poor...but I decided to throw myself full whammy into uni. I now LOVE my course and have made some really great friends. The only down side to this year is due to my job I am currently sat in my flat on my own (as I have been for the last week) counting down the days until I can go home for Christmas, I'm then back again before New Year but I guess that's what you get when you grow up hey?

So I have decided to compile my own "To Do" list for next year!


1. I am growing my hair! Preferably like this but not as big.

Although I'm sure I'll be sat here this time next year with my pixie cut still going strong!

2. I will aim to get some decent work experience in and stop being too scared to go and live somewhere else!

3. I will NOT end up in A&E

4. I will not be depressed at the fact that I'm turning 23.

5. I will try and spend my money on things other than clothes. (I realise I own nothing of any value and my only items to show for working hang in my wardrobe)

6. Get a bf? (That could be pushing my luck, slim pickings) Or just have a whirlwind romance Chuck and Blair style?


7. Find something to fill the void Gossip Girl has left in my life.


But the point I am trying to make with this post is that it doesn't really matter what you want to do for new year, don't force yourself to stick to your resolutions. You can make them silly like mine or serious if you like just have fun trying to stick to them!

xoxo

P.S typing "xoxo" just made me ever more sad about Gossip Girl ending.

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
