Lookbook / Chictopia

It's so nice to have some pictures from outside, being in Leeds pretty much 100% of the time it kinda limits me where i can take pictures. We're surrounded by buildings and i don't have a car in Leeds, so it's just so much easier doing them inside against a blank wall. But as we're back at my home, which is smack bang in the middle of the country side, i thought I'd make the most of it and take some photos from a walk we all went on yesterday morning. It was very cold(showing -7) but it was so pretty. I've added some photos to my Flickr if anyone wants to see.

I've totally loved being at home, eating a stupid amount of food, drinking Malibu constantly and playing too many games. Our favourite games have been Cludeo, Yahtzee & Uno. We're doing a running score to see who gets the most points after the 4 days. Which is today, which also means tomorrow me and Matt go back to Leeds. But it's only for a couple of days because we're going to visit his mum up in Newcastle for new years/Christmas take 2. Tell you what, I'm going to be on such a come down next week!

So i hope you had a lovely Christmas, my main present was a Canon 1000D (which was Matts before he got his new one) But it's only a couple of months old, so it's pretty much brand new. I've had my outfit photos taken with it for so long now, that at least i have a slight understanding of its workings. I'm planning on doing another post full of Christmas pressies later on this week. I didn't get a silly amount of stuff, just practical things really. I'm all about just having a laugh and enjoying being lazy with my favourites.

I'm absolutely dying to go shopping, i really don't have any money though. It's still another month until i get my student loan and I've been waiting all month for my college bursary. I hope there's not been a problem with it, because i really need it to pay bills! I did manage to treat myself to something in the ASOS sale. I did spy two dresses in River Island as well, but because i faffed about too long about getting them, they've now sold out online. I'm hoping there's still some available in store, but I'm not counting on it. Never mind, I'm sure I'll find some other little bargins.

Ok, so that's my little update, I'm now going back to the chocolate! (blatantly put back EVERYTHING i lost lolz) Enjoy the rest of your lazy days!

  11. This years sales were a bit of a fail for me, what with tube strikes, sites crashing etc. If I do manage to get to one, I'm guessing most of the good stuff will be gone by now!

  21. These photos are gorgeous Vic! I've been trying to make the most of being at home photo-wise, but it's easier said than done with no willing "photographer" and a two-legged tripod haha! Eee it sounds like you had a lovely Christmas sweet (: xxx

  22. You outfit here is so sweet and winter-y! I sometimes wish it snowed in Australia for Christmas, but seeing what it has done to everyone in the UK this year, I am rather glad its blazing hot here!

    I love the dress you got from ASOS as well, such amazing colours and such a good price! I find it hard to find like age appropriate dresses on ASOS, but you have spotted a gem here!

  29. Whoo! Love this outdoor outfit post. It's unfortunate how sometimes our environment forces us to take indoor photographs all the time.

    Also, totally with you on the bursary front. Got bills, bills, bills, and am also anxiously awaiting loan money.
