My Week in Photos #7 (sort of)


So I didn’t take any photos this week and you can see why... My phone screen had been smashed for a few weeks but still worked and this week the touch decided to stop as well (boo!) I will be getting a replacement soon and hopefully I will be able to get my beloved iphone fixed when I save up a little money.

Honestly this week was quite eventful from Wednesday when I got back to Derby. Obviously being back in my parentless Uni house was the perfect opportunity to have a big night out and not worry about the noise we make because it is still the University holiday which means no early lectures for anyone! I won’t go into details because I don’t like to play the victim but we have had a falling out with our housemates (oops?). On the same night I found that the touch screen on my phone stopped working so was in a massive rage (being drunk didn’t help). Then just to top off the week I ended up getting ill, aching muscles, snotty nose, fever, and not being able to sleep put me in a very ‘woe is me’ kind of mood.

All this aside I had a great time at home with my family, and (minus the drama) Wednesday night was awesome and I am glad to be back with my friends! Now if only I could stop being so lazy and do some work that would be marvellous! (if I do get any work done then expect some outfit posts and vlog’s this week!)

p.s. I noticed I say ‘we’ a lot...I’m referring to myself and my housemate/friend.

My Week in Pictures #6




It’s been my first week home from Uni in AGES!!! Sadly I can only stay for a week and a half and that week is nearly over!! The weather was beautiful and I spent a lot of time in the garden taking pictures of flowers with instagram(what a party animal!).


One of the best parts about being home is mummy’s cooking!!! Sadly I was too busy eating all of the delicious dinners she made me rather than taking pictures of them so I just ended up taking pictures of the incredibly unhealthy and fatty puddings I was eating!

 Being home and away from constant Uni work meant I could write more blogs than usual. I bought the MUA eyebrow pencil a few weeks ago and finally got around to reviewing it here. I got the chance to go shopping with a friend and got an outfit post (here) and a nail post (here) out of it as well as some really good conversation!



For my Alevel textiles two years ago I did a lot of knitting, when I came home and saw the needles I thought I would do some more. I looked like such a granny knitting away in my pyjamas! My sister was moving house this week so on Friday I went over to help paint my nephews room blue. I ended up taking my shoes off because I didn’t want to get paint on them and then stood in the paint giving me some interesting coloured feet!

I'm sad to be going home on Wednesday but looking forward to seeing my boyfriend and getting some work out of the way! Hope everyone had a fabulous week.

My Week In Pictures #5



Tuesday me and the other journalists went to an all you can eat restaurant. Chinese, Indian and Italian food almost killed me and I ended up feeling sick. But if you tasted the pudding you would know how worth feeling sick was.
I went in to town for some last minute shopping on Thursday before I went home for Easter. Finally I was in town when it was a lovely day and had an excuse to buy a milkshake!!! Mint chocolate is always my choice of milkshake!! So good!
Draw something is my new obsession!!! I drew this to my boyfriend and he got it!! Ha Ha so proud of my skills.
Finally no more Uni for three weeks, but sadly I still have a lot of work to do so I will probably only get 1 and a half weeks at home and then it’s back to Derby to film for my news report. So happy to see my doggy and give him lots of cuddles!

My Week in Pictures #4


Well it’s safe to say this week was rather uneventful until Saturday night. I know I took some pictures but can’t seem to find any of them (there wasn’t many anyway). The only picture I have is from Saturday night in an ambulance when my friend had a panic attack. Don’t worry she is fine now.

I have a blog planned for later today and another for this week. On Saturday I get to go home for the Easter holidays so I’m trying to get some things planned for while I am there J

My Week in Pictures #3


A very late My Week in Photos, hope you forgive me! :P

Sunshine helps hangovers- Tuesday was a very hungover day for me and the majority of my friends, when I finally managed to drag myself out of bed it made my hangover slightly better to see blue skies!

Brain food- I've only ever had French toast one other time in my life so it was weird when I found myself wanting some. I think my first attempt went quite well and was a good breakfast to start a day full of uni work.

Being a fatty- I normally like cooking  but with all of my assignments weighing me down my enthusiasm has gone out of the window so me and the boyfriend were complete fatties and ate so much fast food that I ended up feeling ill for the rest of the day. On the Brightside while I was in town I also bought lots of new make-up to try out and give me some inspiration for some blog posts this week.

Essay's Suck- My essay deadline for Photojournalism was hanging over my head all weekend!! With little interest in the subject I found it hard to make myself research it. Though in the end it turned out ok. Lets hope for a decent grade.



Sunday fun!- Sunday I decided to treat myself after working hard on my essay(though I had not yet finished it) drinks and some chips with some friends in the pub was a good way to cheer myself up!!

I'm so glad last week is over! Now that I don’t have any more deadlines for a while I am not as paniced so I hope to get some posts out this week. If anyone knows any local fashion designers or fashion students that can help me with my next photojournalism project I would appreciate the help(I talked more indepth about this earlier here.) Also my friend are on a film course and are making an amazing film called ‘Friend request’. Like their Facebook page follow them on Twitter and maybe even check out their proposal on Indiegogo to help with funding!! :D


Hope everyone had a fabulous week! x

My Week in Pictures #2



Short attention span – So While in Monday morning shorthand me and James got distracted by the cheesy music on his ipod. Guessing which movies the songs he played were in was much more fun that practising a passage at 60wpm(bad priorities).

Food likes me again! – After spending Wednesday and Thursday in bed being ill and eating nothing I was glad to have a nice bacon and cheese baguette before my lecture on Friday. I hate when having a cold takes away my appetite! I like my food and there’s nothing worse than thinking of the foods you would have your mum cook you to make you feel better and then thought of the smell making you feel sick.

Back to sleeping all day and partying all night!- Friday night I decided I felt well enough to go to the pub for a few drinks. My cold had been reduced to just a stuffy nose by then and I decided that it wouldn’t stop me having fun. Of course a few drinks turned into a full blown night out and me spending all day Saturday in bed with hangover to punish me for my lack of priorities.

...Soooo an hour and twenty minutes into Monday and I have finally found the motivation to write my week in pictures blog(late). Forgive the lazy pictures this week as the majority of it was spent in bed surrounded by tissues and paracetamol. This week my aim is to find some motivation and get off of my bottom and do some work/write some blogs.

Hope everyone had a fabulous week. x

My Week in Pictures #1

After getting my new camera two weeks ago I decided to start doing a My Week in Pictures post on Sundays so I could use my camera all of the time...I am aware that all of the following pictures that I have featured are using instagram, I discovered it this week and now am obsessed. I'm new to this and after looking over my pictures I found I didn't have a a lot of good ones so hopefully it will be better next week. (thought it's just for fun so it doesn't really matter)

Learning is fun!- Three hours of shorthand on a Monday almost killed me. Shorthand lectures are normally only two hours and the huge headache my flu gave me made it even less fun than normal. 

Shopping makes me happy!- After discovering that my camera cost less than i thought it would I realised I had a lot of Christmas money left over. This meant SHOPPING SPREE!!! So off I went to Primark and bought these super cute brogues that I have wanted for a while. Read my OOTD from Thursday where I included some of the stuff that I bought.
 Drunken Injuries are NO fun!- On Monday night while pretty drunk I slipped on my living room floor and smashed my mug, of course with my luck some of the glass went into the palm of my hand. I never got colourful plasters before so I thought they would cheer me up.(I was wrong, it still hurt.)

Video Production is scary-I took this in my video production lecture and I cant tell you how worried I am. Last term we did a radio production project and I got a really good grade, but this is so different I just hope I pull through it like last term!

Assignments stress me out!- I decided to be a good student and go to the library to get some books out for my Media Ethics assignment. Of course all useful books had already been taken out and I was stuck using Google Books. (hope I did okay)

Mr. Muffins is a fatty- My hamster Mr. Muffins (she's a girl) moves so much!! I tried getting pictures of her but the only time she would stay still was when she was stuffing her cheeks after I cleaned her house. Remind me at some point to tell the story where she escaped her cage and I lost her for a whole night and then she got back in her cage all by herself in the morning.

Hope everyone had a fabulous week. x
