To buy or not to buy???

Ive had a mega busy day today.....
I woke up late for my lecture because Id stupidly set my alarm an hour late. But i got up anyways and legged it in, but the lecture had started, so I went to the library instead (sounds like it was a good idea anyway because the lecture was apparently BORING). Anways to cut a long story short...fuelled by numerous cups of coffee i ended up staying there until 6pm working on my FYP! GAH...ive stared at the computer screen for so long my eyes are KILLING ME!!

But never mind...i managed to get a LOT of work done so its all good :)

In a quick break from research I checked out these 2 dresses from Peacocks:

Crochet Panel Dress: £22



Polka Dot Dress: £20

You likeeeeeee??
I love the lace detail on the creamy one!
Im so low on funds at the moment though so I cant afford them this week..if im good with my money over the weekend and dont spend it all on alcohol I might just treat myself :)
Going on a sober night out might just be worth it for these dresses :D
Ive always LOVED Peacocks clothing.....2 of my very favourite dresses are from Peacocks! The quality of the clothes is so good.....AND its cheap!!! Their sizes go up to a UK20, so for plus size girls thats a bonus :D
The accessories from Peacocks are also really nice....i got part of my sisters birthday present from there (a lovely red patent handbag) and it was reduced in the sale to just £3!!

Does anyone else like Peacocks??
You should really give it a try if you havent...I <3 it :)

How could I have forgotten to tell you guys this!!

Evenin' All...

I have NO idea why I havnt told you this before but.................................................


I AM GOING TO AMERICA IN MAY!!!! :)


Honestly I couldnt be more excited!!!
I am going with my best friend Sam, and we are going to Boston for 10 days to see one of my girlies Bella who's out there studying!! We havnt seen her since the end of Summer so Im sooo looking forward to seeing her!! So yea, we are spending 10 days in Boston and then going to New York for 4 days :D

AAAAHHHHHH I cant wait :)


(This is me....Bella and Sam on our girlie holiday in Turkey last year....{Dress is from ASOS btw})


Ive ALWAYS wanted to go to NYC...Ive been trying to persuade my parents to take me for aaaages, but now Im going with Sam so its all good!!
We are going at the end of May, so I will have completely finished Uni { :)/ :( }. Its my graduation present to myself!
The flights are all paid for (only £345!!!), travel insurance is done, so is my Visa....now all I have to do is book accomodation for NYC (Bella is kindly putting us up in Boston) and PACK!!!

Dilemma:
What do i take to wear in America at the end of May/beginning of June??
Will it be hot?
Will it rain?
HELP??!!!??

The other problem is that I only finish Uni on the 27th May...so I will have to have completely moved EVERYTHING out of the flat (including furniture etc) and have re-packed for America
:S
Eeeeeekkkkkkkkkk


Oh god....it could be interesting
Well its obvious I need advice...so girls.....what do I pack?

ASOS :)

Afternoon Everyone :)
Had a very long day today! I hate having lectures one after the other!!

To cheer me up though, when I got home I found my ASOS delivery has arrived {if anyone hasnt ordered from ASOS before I would highly recommend it- However I would suggest that you pay for the delivery and DONT get the free super saver delivery as I have had numerous problems with this before, and its just easier to pay for delivery}

Anyway...both the things I got were from ASOS Curve....great for plus size girls :)

The first thing I ordered was this:

It was £35...but with 20% off with my NUS card so I paid £28.
I <3 Leopard Print
The only thing that may be an issue with this is that it had poppers to keep it secure under your boobs...im slightly scared this will *ping* open and....well lets just say I will be exposed!!
Lets just keep our fingers crossed!!

The 2nd thing I ordered was this:


Scallop Sleeve Shift Dress
It was already in the sale...the black version is £45, but I plumped for the Lime green and this one was £27!!
The detail on the sleeves is really cute and unusual.
The colour is more yellowy than I expected, I think I will try it on later and you guys can help me to decide if I can pull off the colour or not! :S


What do you reckon??
Nice?
Or will i look like I have jaundice??

I will try and do another post later so you can help me out!

So seriously though, give ASOS a try, you can return things for free, and in the sales especially you can get some AMAZING bargains!!

Hi Blogworld.... I AM OFFICIALLY BACK!!
Im very sorry ive been so absent....Ive had several problems:
a) I lost my camera on an extremely drunken night out over xmas....literally no idea where it is
b) when I got a new camera it took me ages to find a memory card that worked in it :S
c) Ive been mage mega busy with uni work {3rd year is HARD!}

but anyways...im back now, and I thought Id start with my nails of the day :)
I went to the salon today because I managed to break 2 nails in lecture 2day! :(
I LOVE the lady in my local nail salon...shes sooo sweet, and is always happy to see me and remembers my name :)
The colour I went for was OPI 'The Thrill of Brazil' {Sorry about the flash...my cameras charging so this was with my phone :/}
I <3 the colour though!
p.s. this is my new Ipod that I got for Xmas :D Ive finally joined the 21st century! And yes, up until recently I did use a CD Player! NOT ANYMORE :)

I promise I will be back blogging on a more regular basis! :)

Hope everyone is ok
