Lookbook / Chictopia

I absolutely love this blazer, i got it back in the summer in a charity shop just up the road from me. It's a perfect fit for me and i totally love the padded shoulders. I paid £5 which in my opinion is a total bargin. I'm also wearing my latest DIY t-shirt because being the poor student i am, I'd never be able to afford a real Chanel item. I wanted to keep my outfit black and white but with a splash of colour. I have no idea what's going on with my hair today, it has some crazy curls going on!

I finally got my press pass sorted for London Fashion Week. However it's all happened a bit too late, and train fare prices will be through the roof now, so I'm not going to go. With all the uni work i have to do, and the fact I'm finally stuck in with the dissertation, I'd be silly to go away for a few days. I believe everything happens for a reason, so maybe something good will come of it! Maybe passing my course will be it! I'm about half way through my dissertation which is a massive achievement for me. With my tutor still Aus, i sent what I've done so far (1200+ words) to my back up whilst she's away. I've still not heard back, which is annoying because I'm a bit reluctant to carry on if I've totally messed it up.

My Mum came up to Leeds today. She had some work days owing and I've not seen her since Christmas. It was a whistle stop visit, a walk around town and some lunch, but it was lovely none the less!

I hope you hopeless romantics out there have had a lovely Valentines day! I don't really get involved with all the hype, i think it's a bit silly really! But i have bought Matt a very cheesy card, a heart cupcake and his favourite chocolates. All less than £5! He's cooking dinner tonight, well, he should be. I spoke to him earlier and he was yet to have bough anything so I'm sure if you follow me on Twitter you'll hear whether it happens or not. I know he reads my blog, so I'm sure he'll have something to say about this too ;)The best thing about today is the fact every year without fail my Dad sends me a card with a little something, this year i got a heart shaped chocolate on a stick. It really is my favourite thing about today.

  17. I think your hair looks really pretty like that. Have you thought about getting a coach to london? If you don't have too much work. I have got the coach from Leeds bus station to Victoria bus station a few times and even though its 4hrs 40mins its no more than a tenner every time I've gone so thats £20 return.x
