WHAT I WORE

Cardigan: eBay | Top: Zara

Bracelet: GoGo Phillip*

I love this cardigan so much and it’s perfect for this season. It’s batwing which means there’s plenty of fabric to get nice and cosy and it’s perfect for keeping warm. I actually have it in a size 12, so you can tell how baggy it is! It’s from a pretty amazing eBay store too so check it out, I promise you won’t be disappointed. How amazing is my bracelet too? It’s quite heavy actually which I like in a bracelet, I like knowing I’m wearing something. The detailing is really pretty too.

Well this week has been probably one of the worst weeks ever. Firstly I didn’t make it to London last week thanks to public transport obviously trying to ruin my life. It started when two (full) buses go past me, rushing to book a taxi to take me to the train station (half an hour to go) and then ten mins before my train and about 2 mins away from the station, I realise in my previous ‘throw everything out your bag to find a taxi number fit’ that my purse is sitting nicely on the sofa. So that put an end to that one. £40 down the drain and once again missing a blogging event and feeling more and more out the loop~ the day wasn’t so bad in the end, I ended up going out for lunch and the cinema with Matt which was lovely as always. We saw in time which was actually amazing, totally recommend it.

It was Matts birthday on Friday and I’d like to say we spent it together but we didn’t, I did however make him the best cake ever and he loved it so that was good. It’s 100% Nutella and it equals to being my worst nightmare. He’s been out all weekend filming a short film for a competition and they had 2.8 days to film, edit and hand in. From what I can gather it was very stressful and they literally didn’t stop, he didn’t even come home last night. But alas, it’s all handed in and he’s now fast asleep. But because of him being out all weekend ive been so bored and it’s been pretty crap.

Then just to top it off, like literally the icing on the cake, I loose my job this morning. It wasn’t my fault, but of course it’s very annoying and upsetting. The main company I was writing for decided to part ways with my company and so there just wasn’t enough for me to do. I’ll still be doing the odd bits from home (I bloody hope) but it’s still shit and I feel pretty crap to be honest. But hey, that’s life! If anyone knows of any companies after a content writer in Leeds please give me a heads up. I’m really nice, honestly!

My Mum is coming up this week for some Christmas shopping, but I doubt I’ll be able to do much. I’m so looking forward to seeing her; I think it’s just what I need.

Hope you’ve had a better week than mine!
