100th Blog Post

How crazy is that?! 

Yup I've sat down 100 times to write on my blog. That's a lie, its been probably about 300 times but I constantly delete posts because they end up turning into waffle and pictures of cats....

I've been blogging for 3 years now and I'm pretty proud of how far I've come. I love blogging and it's changed my life, literally. I am currently in the middle of writing my dissertation based up fashion bloggers! I would never of chosen this subject if it wasn't for the blogging community and now I feel I know where I want to go in life, and it's because of this.

Do what you love and love what you do!

I'm so excited for what the future holds for me and my blog. I hope to take it and the people who read it, to far flung places with blue oceans and red sunsets.

But for now, I'll just concentrate on my infinite deadlines and stress spots...

Simple & Inexpensive Nail Art

Have you ever wanted to stand out and decorate your nails in different ways but have no idea how to achieve the simple, sweet designs you've seen? Snap me too!

I've found a blog that gives you the easiest step by step guide on how to make even the shortest nails stand out from the crowd.

Cute & Simple Nail Art has some really easy guides on creating great nails! These are just some of my favourites but there's more to have a look at. The best thing is Fran, who runs this blog, uses inexpensive nail varnishes that are easily available to get hold of and won't cost you a months rent!
You can find her blog linked above or her button on the right.

Where Have I Been?

They say time fly's when you're having fun. And I couldn't agree more!
This summer has been amazing for me and I've found very little time to blog what with going to Canada for 3 weeks, Jamaica for 2 weeks then moving into a new house at university. I now live with 5 boys (yes, 5) in a student house in Bognor Regis where my university campus is. It was a last minute choice as my old landlady messed me around but I can say I am happy here!

University has been slow to start with as I only had a handful of lectures before we got the week off for freshers week. Going into my second year is scary but exciting knowing i am nearly halfway through my university education. I have changed my course to Marketing and feel happier about doing so. Hopefully this gets me where I want to be in life which still seems like the very distant future to me. I'm going to include some pictures of my second year at university so far.

I'll see you all soon!!

Get The Look -Lucy Mecklenburgh

Lucy Mecklenburgh, the TOWIE star, has been featured in many magazines this week including Heat. She has been complimented on her gorgeous china blue Three Floors dress, (pictured below).

China blue is flattering colour for most and other people such as Amanda Seyfried have opted for it. However this dress will set you back £168! I've noticed some similar styled dresses on sites and thought I would off some insight into cheaper alternatives!

Miss Selfridge Duck Egg Mesh Prom Dress £25

Miss Selfridge China Blue Print Dress £32 

Dorothy Perkins Blue Pillar 50's Flare Dress £29.99

Topshop Capped Sleeve Lace Dress £35

Back from hiatus!

So I took a small hiatus of about 4 months… But I'm back! My blogs always been on the back of my mind and I have barely any followers but I'm still determined to blog about the things I do and love so I’ll be concentrating a little more time on it especially as I’ve got so much planned for the summer.

 I'm currently in my second semester at the University of Chichester studying Events Management and its going great. I’ve met some great people and had such a good first year so far. I've struggled with money but I'm sure everyone does in their first year at university away from home. I'm from the West Midlands so I live about 3 hours away from home in Bognor Regis which is where my campus is based. The nightlife is not the best but the people make the most of it!

 I've bought tons of products and clothes and different things I can’t wait to blog about so I truly can’t wait to tell the internet world about my life so far this year and my plans for summer 2013, watch this space! I've also thought about starting up vlog on YouTube but I’ll see because I don’t have good filming or editing equipment but I'm sure a lot of people starting up don’t either. I'm just very excited to get stuck in to my blog again.
