I've had the most amazing few days.
Getting upto Newcastle on Thursday went well, me and Lauren ended up being on the same train and had no idea until 5 mins before her train pulled into my station.
That was the start of the many giggles to follow..
Rachel still had no idea we were coming up, she couldn't believe it when we both knocked on the door. Bex and Drew were already there so that was really well planned!
She has a lovely place and really nice housemates.
We made a quick dash to Asda to get supplies and then started with the good times.
We ended up going out at around 11pm and within the first 5 mins i had a girl come on to me and try to convince me to become a pole dancer. Apparently, i have the face for it? Im not sure how to take that.
It was a brilliant night, and we stumbled through the door at around 4am.

I missed my train on Friday, which really sucked. I managed to blag my way home though which was amazing and ended up getting home only half hour later than planned.
Parents got up around 8pm and i made us all enchiladas which were sooooo yummy!

We drove back home Saturday morning and went to a friends BBQ, Sunday we went to Ikea and then Monday (yesterday) we had a BBQ and Lauren and her boyfriend Jordan came over. It was so lovely, they ended up staying till nearly 10pm!

Me and Matt got back to Leeds about an hour ago, our train got cancelled. Door to door has taken 4 hours.
This afternoon i will be sleeping.

WHAT I WORE

I ordered a j'adore doir top from the internet on Sunday, and it's a replica of the one Carrie Bradshaw wears in the Sex And The City movie. I love it so much! Everything else is from Primark.
Some girl has told me it's not suitable for lookbook, lolz.

So after going to the post office, and Matt getting his hair cut we decided to head into Leeds.
I didn't want to buy anything really, i'm saving for a winter coat.
But i couldn't help treat myself to 3 for £10 offer in Superdrug on the John Frieda shampoo/conditioner collection. I try and make mine last until there's this deal on because you're pretty much getting one for free. Went to boots to get some new Barry M nail polish and at 2 for £5 in boots at the moment, i couldn't say no so i got 47 BLACK & 304 MINT GREEN and then two lovely rings from Primark for £2.50. You'll see them in future posts im sure.

Stella McCartney // Hussein Chalayan // 3.1 Phillip Lim

MaxMara // Rebecca Taylor // Chloe

The one thing that gets me excited about a/w is getting a brand new coat!
These all look so stylish and cosey and i can't wait to buy one similar for myself.
I've found some affordable ones on ASOS

Im not a massive fan of the website. I often find their items to be a bit over priced. Being a fashion design & production student i hate finding ridiculously priced items, at an average quality.
But i got to admit im pretty impressed with their range, and could really be a good investment.

Im not a massive fan of strawberrys when they're on their own, usually too bitter for me. So i decided to melt the left over chocolate from the other day, cover the strawberries and then leave them in the fridge to harden.
They're so yummy! Best pudding i've had in a while.

My boyfriend is a cheeky boy!

I had an awful nights sleep last night, so doing nothing today was my perfect plan.
However, realising we have hardly anything in a trip to Morrisons was a cert. We decided to have a little walk around Kirkstall Abby first though as the weather was pretty nice and then bake cakes when we got back.
We decided to try and pipe some real chocolate icing with baking paper, and even though it wasn't brilliant it turned out ok!
I thought it'd be nice to put mini cookies on them too.
So yummy!

STEAL THEIR STYLE

- Malin Z

Finding simple yet stylish outfits on lookbook are my favourite. It really annoys me when an outfit is over powered by too many accessories but with small details with the hat, scarf and sunglasses, it really pulls the outfit together. I like how she's wearing 3 different pairs of boots, yet they would all go with each outfit. You could easily mis match the first and second together and it would still work.
