cheating isn't cool.

Many of you won't know much, if anything about my academic career, so here's a little insight to me... I'm currently at Southampton Solent University studying Public Relations & Communications. 

I have met some amazing people, done some interesting assignments and totally love the course. 

This year we have started some new modules, 'advertising: creative concepts' being one of them. 

Our brief for this term is to analyse these Harvey Nichols ads above. 

I'm gonna throw this out there- I want to  have the best presentation... 

So that's where you ladies come in.... 

Any ideas on these amazing ads?! 

muchos love & happiness etc etc

snotty tissues & a giggling toddler...

The lack of posting these last two days is due to me being struck down with the common cold/sinusitis/flu/what felt like DEATH, so I do apologise. I've been experiencing excruciating earache, loss of voice & constant running nose (I hope you can picture it!), due to working in a popular chicken restaurant who are keen beans on their health and hygiene I managed to blag the last few days off of work... 

 'Even more time to blog' I hear you screaming! Well no, because I've had this (to the left) little ray of sunshine to look after. 

-And yes before you ask, that is a toddler in a basket watching the washing machine go round...


Emmy, my baby cousin and is currently staying with me as her house is having some  improvements made to it. She's an absolute beaut and I wish I could show her gorgeous little face off to the world, but I don't think her mum would be too pleased.. So a shot of the back of her head will do haha!


Honestly though- I've been feeling absolutely terrible for the last 4days and she has kept me smiling, she's just started walking so she's a mischievous little thing, all my family says she reminds them of me. Ha!


I am actually planning on getting dressed tomorrow so an outfit post may definitely be coming your way bloggers ;) 

Oh and also, a big thank you to all you new followers who were directed here by the lovely Michelle @ Daisy Butter (she said some really nice things about the blog :D ); it actually scares me a little that people other than my most loyal follower EVER Hermine (go check out her blog- The Girl In A Cashmere Daze) read my little bloggy. So thank you again girlies (and any secret guy readers? Lol!)


Have a lovely sunday, I'll be spending it with my beautiful family before I go off on a wee holiday for a week.

why hello there...

Hello there beautiful bloggers, I hope you are all well! Sorry I haven't posted for ages (again), I've been homeswapping, not quite literally, but I've been down in southampton taking all my stuff down to my new house!

I had a lovely night out with my best friends, we went to the first of many house parties, which was fun, it was also pretty interesting to see all our other friends new houses!

When I got back from So'ton, I went out for a friends birthday. It was her 18th, so a big night for her! This is a quick pic of what I wore, my mum took it when I was leaving the house, for some reason she was a little overwhelmed...? Weird woman!

Anyway, I'm just about to do a 4day catch up of blogreading! See you soon!

awol

I have decided to start living my life a little differently from the beginning of September. I don't really believe in New Years celebrations because I think you can give yourself a new start any day that you want. There's not just one time slot a year to start a fresh! I really messed up my first year of uni, so much so that I'm contemplating changing my course. So this year I'm not drinking anymore, and I'm actually ok with that, it's an expensive habit which normally leaves me very hungover the next day. Saving money and working hard are other changes, as well as eating healthier and going for the odd jog now and then. This all sounds like a lot, but it'll all fall into place once I've moved into my little house in Southampton.

Thanks for being patient.

working 9-5...

...AND MORE! Jeez, I have never worked so hard in my entire life! Since thursday night I have just been working like crazy. On Saturday I worked from 9:30am until 10pm straight. My oh my. My ankles literally seized up on saturday night, which wasn't good. Made work tonight a tad uncomfortable!

I have some stupid induction day for my new job (at a popular chicken joint) tomorrow, so I thought I'd bring you a post now. This is me on Friday afternoon, whilst waiting in the Dorothy Perkins changing room for my Mother. (I'm wearing: DP Blazer, H&M Vest, DIY shorts, Ebay Boots, Random Necklace, Mischa Barton Bag.)

It's a pretty terrible quality so I do apologise for the standard iPhone pic!

This week is going to be pretty hectic, I have a lot of uni work to be doing for a deadline in 7 days. Nicht gut.

I hope you all have a marvellous monday. My day is going to be shocking, for a start I have to be up at 6am (that's always the sign of a bad day if i've got to be up before 10!).

xoxo, avs

desperation...

Job hunting....wow what a pain in the butt!

So I'm at university studying Public Relations and Communications, just finished my first year! Whats my problem? ...The long summer... The four months that I have off, means I have to get a job. But who wants to take on a student who is going to leave after four months? no one, thats who.

This leaves me with one solution... temping. Wish me luck.

Song of the moment HAS to be- Katy Perry (feat Snoop Dogg) California Gurls!
-Such a tune!

'West Coast represent now put your hands up!!!'

Ok I'm from England but hey, I have a special connection to the Golden State!

... Football is coming home... 

Today saw the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa. 

It was a grand affair with dancing, music and a special performance from R.Kelly... 

For weeks Facebook status's were reminding us of the upcoming tournament and now its finally here- there is going to be no avoiding it!

Cars are being decorated with England flags, there are countless world cup songs on the radio and supermarkets are offering beer cheap cheap cheap!

But what implications does this have for women everywhere? One guys facebook status this morning was...

"women all over the world prepare to be seriously neglected for the next month"

...OUCH! I feel bad for his gal! 

Right now I don't have a guy so any football being watched in my home is on my terms, but whats it gonna be like for all you girls with boyfriends/husbands/die-hard football fanatic girlfriends? Take the opportunity to shop when the football is on... cook up some delicious half-time food for your loved ones or simply take the time to watch it with the guys and cheer on your team... 

GO ENGLAND! 

Happy World Cup-ping guys and girls!
