I'M 20!

Aaaaah I'm no longer a teenager! That feels so wierd to say! I had such a lovely birthday, I'm so lucky to have amazing friends, family and an amazing boyfriend! I couldn't of asked for a more lovely weekend!

I went out to the HMV Institute to celebrate on saturday night, never been there before and oh lord it was a blast! we basically spent the whole night doing karaoke! It was so much fun!! We was the first ones to get up and do it and we was the last ones to do it before the night was finnished! I said to the DJ afterwards its my birthday monday! where i recieved "how old are you going to be 12!" yeah cheers mate!
Sunday I spent the day at my dads, he cooked me my favourite dinner (sunday roast) which was yummy and then he brought this cake out for me! which was lovely...

Then on Monday evening my boyfriend cooked me a chicken risotto which was AMAZINGLY YUMMY!! It was so nice! And after dinner he suprised me with this cake! how lovely is that!

I'm one very lucky little lady :)

A VISIT TO LONDON?

Yohji Yamamoto at the V&A! Good enough reason to get a train to London? I think so!

"This exhibition explores the work of idiosyncratic and ground-breaking designer Yohji Yamamoto. Fabric, he said, 'is everything'. This deep interest in textiles is at the heart of his approach to design." Taken from the V&A website.

I first looked at Yohji Yamamoto's work for a project I was doing at college and although it's not my cliche OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL type of garments I just think his work is inspiring and the textile element; dare I say the word twice in one sentence, just beautiful!

JUST A LITTLE RAMBLE.

Payday is Thursday, only 3 more sleeps! I'm majorly skint at the moment, I have 57p in my account! I'm not exaggerating I seriously only have that much to my name, and maybe 40p or so in my purse. bad times.
It's my birthday next monday! yup I'm turning 20! How exciting! Not only am I going to be a year older but I'm also applying to university! YES A TOTAL CHANGE OF HEART! I've been talking to a few friends and I just need to not be scared and do it! It's what I'm passionate about why should I let one knock back dictate what it is I wanna do? Well sorry liecster but you can fuck off! This bitch is applying elsewhere! ha!

31 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 9

A picture of someone you know that you admire.

Okay I'm going to post more than one picture for this one because to be honest we have loads and I cant just choose one.

My best friend Charlotte! We've been friends since school but we only became 'best friends' after we left school (which was 4 years ago) She's more like my sister than she is a best friend, She's the one person who has been there for me through absoloutly everything. Yes I know it's a little cliche to say that but she really has! I love the fact she puts up with my drama and my tendancy to over react to everything! She is genuinly the lovliest person I've ever met and I've met alot of lovely people! We used to see each other every single day and I think thats why we know so much about each other because there was a time we'd spend nearly all day and all night together every single day for a good couple of months. What I love is that even though we dont see each other every single day now we're still just as close!

She's such a beautiful little lady inside and out! What gets me the most is she's not one of those friends who'll say things which you know you wanna hear, she's just honest and if i'm being an over dramatic little lass (which I've had my moments of) she'll just come out and put me straight! whenever I have a problem its her I go straight to! She's just the most incredible person ever and I just love her too much! I dont think it's even possible for us to fall out... I don't see what we'd fall out over! If we did I'd be loosing a very big part of myself and I wouldn't have anyone to ring if I ever need help making a pie again! naaah we'll never fall out BBF'S (LOL)

31 DAY CHALLENGE - DAY 7

A picture of your most treasured item

This was the first thing EVER given to me! On the day I was born my dad brought me this teddy (the white one with the pink bow and pink "paws") It's in awesome condition cosidering it's nearly 20 years old, apart from the funny brown mark on its nose, no idea what that is. But yes this is my most treasured item!

It sits right in the middle of a couple of other teddies I've had since I was little. I know i'm a little old to be keeping all these teddies but I'm abit of a hoarder when it comes to things people have brought me.

ITS TIME LIKE THIS I WISH I WAS RICH.

I don't really need to say much more do I...?
You can buy me them from here. Thanks ;)

INSPIRATIONAL

I've spent most of the afternoon catching up on blogs posts and I've came across this really inspirational textile designer. Karen Barbé is a santiago based textile designer who creates unique handcrafted textiles, homewares and accessories.
This has to be my all time favourite...
