Photo Dump 03

So exams have taken over my life as well as a never ending dissertation, this has been a hard last couple of years. Hopefully the light at the end is near, I remind myself daily that soon I will have somewhere to live and a steady job. Please.

When my nails are 'natural' you can tell life is stressful. They have been painted three times in the past two weeks and I promptly peeled these off. I am just so glad I have a wonderful boyfriend who makes sure I eat actual meals rather than just snacks.

- Someone had left a daisy pushed into the keyboard in one of the shops computers, cheered me up during a horrible stock take. I can't believe this job is drawing to a close, I have worked for the student unions shops for 4 years now. So many staff have come and gone and it is actually where I met my boyfriend although he no longer works there. 

- Nails! My poor nails have been neglected, I split my thumb nail on Saturday night on a WKD bottle cap. Ow is all I have to say on the matter. My Models Own / Wah Nails pen has completely dried out due to me being incapable of putting the pin back in the top so the leopard print was done with a Rimmel liquid eye-liner. Models Own Bubblegum pink base with a pale yellow from Rimmel for the spots. I attempted ombre nails 

one night at 5am, I didn't mix enough of the colours so didn't have a thick enough coat on any of the nails.

- My first nakd bar was a big disappointment, it just tasted of horrible artificial mint. I decided to try one again and was pleasantly surprised, I now can't stop buying the Cashew Cookie one which is awesome. 

- Revision and dissertation has been broken up with tiny shopping trips and watching of trash television. Made In Chelsea is just awful and I love my trash. Jersey Shore, The Hills, TOWIE... All favourites of mine. Made In Chelsea is just beyond fake and made up. I know girls like this exist so why not just follow their real lives? I do realise The Hills and TOWIE make up situations too but at least some of the cast are actually likeable. 

- Speaking of little shopping trips, in the past year the shop has got a small Rimmel stand which is very useful for when you need some eye-liner when stuck on campus. Not good for my bank balance when I am in work and eyeing up my next nail varnish. I needed cheering up on Saturday and opted for the new Day 2 Night mascara which I already love, but more on that later this week.

That is the ugliest f-ing skirt I've ever seen

Oh routine, how I want you. I'm surviving on 5 hours sleep a night and naps. The mixture of two jobs and exams is not a pretty one.

As previously discussed I spend my life in black work tshirts, in my retail job this is fine over dresses and pretty skirts. However behind a bar jeans or black skirts are best. I usually wear black body-con jobs with leggings. I am on the search for a short black skirt with pockets, but I am far too fussy to find anything I like. My part time bar job has turned into a more permanent one after I have finished my exams, gaining club management experience and all that goes with it so will be forever looking for a practical black skirt.

I do find myself searching daily on Topshop, Miss Selfridge and ASOS for this illusive skirt but instead find many others I want.

Miss Selfridge Black Pocket Skirt

Topshop Moto Distressed Denim Skirt

Topshop Floral Pelmet Skirt

ASOS A Line Mini Skirt

H&M Print Skirt

American Apparel Jersey Pocket Skirt

The ASOS one looks horrible and cheap as most of there clothes do but is exactly what I am looking for. Although the Miss Selfridge one ticks all the boxes too. The rest are skirts I keep imagining outfits for. The Floral number from Topshop I can see with a nice big tshirt and sandals for summer, but my exam diet of crap has made my hips expand. I did attempt a run the other day, managed near 2 miles but almost died. So horribly unfit. 

I keep online window shopping, I actually have money in my account at the end of the week for once but I seem to be turning into an adult and thinking of flat deposits and furniture. What happened to the party girl? Exams do finish soon however and I know exactly what I will be buying first, a bottle of Lamb's Spiced Rum. I think I might have actually found a replacement for the much missed orginal Sailor Jerry's Rum.

PS Actually writing this at 5.40am, just got in from work and cannot sleep. So Mean Girls it is.
