be my little rock and roll queen

Bonjourno, I hope your Bank Holiday Monday was pretty fabulous/relaxing/full of food & family... 

• uno. breaking news: I'm heading off to Scotland on Sunday. Unfortunately my Granny, who is 96 (!!) years old is poorly, so me, my dad and little sisters are going on a road trip up to the land of Scots to see her, instead of taking our planned mini holiday. 
• dos. Last week when I went down to Southampton I didn't take the appropirate attire for the house party I was planning on going to, so me and my BFF KatieCakes, hit West Quay (Southampton's amaaaziiing shopping mall). It was pretty cute being there with KC again after being apart for the last three months solid. We used to hit WestQuay everyday after uni for a spot of shopping or a KFC. Anywho, so I found this really nice top from H&M and it was a bargain at only £7.99...., I wore it with my topshop jeggings and some Nude New Look Pumps (Heels). Next time I wear the top I plan to wear this really cute leopard print bandeau that I also spotted in H&M. (See picture. I'm on the left, my friend Loren is on the right). 
• tres. I've been working so manically and ridiculous hours lately as well as doing that university work, so please excuse my irregular blogging, once I'm in a routine again I will blog regularly, once, twice  maybe even three times a day, opposed to this crappy once a week shizz. 
• cuatro. Tomorrow I'm heading down to Southampton yet again to take some more stuff down AKA clothes, books and TV. My mum is coming with me, so I'm 99.9% sure she'll end up wanting to go round to the fabulous Ikea. Which I used to hate, but since I've got my own territory, I don't mind so much! Plus, because she loves Ikea stuff, she buys me 'stuff'. Haha. 

Anywho, have a lovely Tuesday.

young money

There's this guy @ work who's obsessed with Lil' Wayne, everytime a new notice goes up in our staff room he scrawls all over it 'FREE WEEZY'... So when I saw this on tumblr the over day it had me chuckling for ages...

I hope you're having a fabulous sunday!

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!

a few of my favourite things...

ring-a-ling-a-ding. these are three of my favourite rings. from left to right: primark (either £1.50 or £2), the middle ring was actually given to me by my cousin on holiday so no clue where its from, but its a statement which i love! And last but not least 'the owl ring', not going to lie, but I can't even remember where I brought this ring from, I'm going with either topshop or accessorize, but can't be 100% sure. These three are the ones I wear the most out of my vast collection...

In the forefront of the photo is my ring that my dad got me for my 18th birthday. He got my mum one similar when they were together so when it came to him getting me something special for my 18th I wanted one the same, and since I've had mine it's been worn every single day. It's actually a Russian Wedding band (each band is a different gold; white, rose and yellow), but I like to think there's a ring each for me, my mum and my dad. Kind of sad but hey.

Do you guys have any rings that you wear every single day?

Have a lovely day munchkins.

Wish upon a star... linking to this afternoons post 'these are a few of my favourite rings', todays wildest wednesday wish is a reasonably priced wish, at only $99:

THE FOOL'S GOLD KNUCKLEBUSTER

Gorgeous ring isn't it... When I was little fool's gold always used to fascinate me, my step-brother had this massive lump of it when we were like 11, he told me it was like a rare stone from like outer space or something...yeah he got it from the Natural History Museum or something... Wow I was naive.

The ring is by a beautiful up and coming LA based designer, Amanda Thomas of Luv AJ jewellery. Last year whilst on vacation in the City of Angels I met the lovely Amanda, she took a photo of me for the whowhatwear.com 'MySpace Muse' feature. As she used to work at whowhatwear.com, Amanada knows full well what all the superstar fashionista's of Hollywood want. Go check out her designs!

apparently i'm going to hell...

topshop tee, pac sun jeans, various chains + diy necklaces

...According to my best friend after I DIY-ed AKA ripped off the crucifix from my rosary beads.

Today I spent the day doing uni work and watching the disney channel with my little sister. Damn I didn't know how good kids tv was these days! Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zac & Cody and The Princess Protection Programme etc etc. Yes yes yes. After all this fun tv programming I took my bestie and her beaut little pup to the vets, pics of her outfit coming tomorrow. She looks gorgeous.

Tomorrow is a day full of exciting plans... Watching my little sister again, interviewing my sassy aunt for a university magazine article (on body art- she's got some beautiful tattoo's), then finally in the evening I'm going down to Southampton to see all my old friends and have a belated birthday/housewarming chinese with my housemates and friends. Oh so excited.

Thanks for stopping by :)

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.

xoxo avs
