A moment, a love, a dream aloud...

Today my blog is one month old! I'm so fady I thought I would post a few times and then get bored of it, but I'm slightly addicted to it! Just a quick thanks to; the people following my blog, the people who have left comments and Alex for adding me to her Friday Follows! I'm not fickle and know it's not about how many hits or followers you have; I'm just appreciating the people who have taken the time to read my blog and respond to what I post about! It makes writing on here more enjoyable when you can interact with people. 


I spent the majority of the day standing in queues and dodging buggies in Cardiff. I tried on at least twenty dresses and still didn't come home with anything to wear next Thursday! Starting to get annoyed with the lack of variety of party dresses this season! I did however manage to go some present shopping done & only have one more thing to buy my boyfriend before I'm finished, YAY! I also got myself some bargains and will do an outfit post on Monday to share it with you guys!


It's only a quick post tonight as I'm supposed to be getting ready to go over my boyfriends house but there are a few songs I thought I'd share with you. This year has been great for dub-step and what a way to celebrate Christmas than with a bit of drum and bass. Radio 1 played an awesome remix today (I can't find a link for it):). And can't forget the Argos advert as well, I love it!ha. Sorry it's a bit short and sweet!

Play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love...

Sorry about not posting my Christmas wish-list last night; I was like a complete zombie after work! I still haven't finished it now but will post it sometime before next week! I also didn't get my grades today! I have to wait until next Tuesday; that's such a long time to wait when you really want to know! Especially seems my tutor mentioned that a few people will have to resit in the summer, NERVOUS!


I have also officially finished uni' for Christmas, woo! We said good-bye to our current campus with bucks-fizz, mince pies and Christmas songs! The festive season has well and truly taken hold! I've decided to use my first day off tomorrow to try and get my Christmas shopping done. The fact that Cardiff will be super busy is forcing me to get up and out early to try and beat the crowds. I know what I need to get present-wise but I also need to look for an outfit for next Thursday and Boxing day. I don't really like trying on clothes at the best of times (I'm one of those people who buy, try on at home then return; so much better!) let alone when it's busy, I have a load of shopping and little patience! I need help, anyone seen any nice party clothes?


To get a bit of rhythm into my blog, I've decided to dedicate Thursdays as my day to share with you the music that I'm listening to so here's this weeks;

1. Joe Worricker - Finger Waggers

I first heard this song in work a few weeks ago; If you listen to it once you'll want to hear it again! This Essex boy got turned away from X Factor but has now signed to label 'Rough Trade', expect big things!

2. James Blake - Limit to Your Love

BBC Radio 1 have been playing this song so much this week; but the reason this song is stuck in my head is the sheer beauty of it! It's a new weird mixture of soul and dubstep, LOVE!

3. Duffy - Well, Well, Well

You gotta love Duffy's voice! I might be a bit bias being a fellow welshy but this song is just as good and relevant and when she released 'Mercy' back in 2008. 

4. Sunday Girl - Self Control

This is another discovery aided by RI! Sunday Girl has two songs on the playlist at work and both are awesome! Her music is a cool mix of synth-pop, check her out!

5. Passion Pit & Ellie Goulding - Sleepyhead

Okay so I know this song isn't new but it came on my iPod while I was I was in the gym this afternoon and my love for it has been re-newed! I just love the mixture of Ellie Goulding's voice and Passion Pits style!

6. Simian Mobile Disco & Beth Ditto - Cruel Intentions

Again not a new song but deserves some recognition. I love this song so much! Definitely one of my all time favourites!

There's a limit to your love...

Today I have the day off uni' for 'independent study' and intended on doing my second outfit post. My camera however was accidently left in my mums car which put a stop to that idea! Was really looking forward to giving it another go but don't want to settle for iPhone standard images. Really I should be getting on with my essay or the research for my second project but instead I find myself watching Harry Potter and looking at yet more Christmas presents! I've bought a few already but the main ones are yet to be purchased! I would like to do a post to share what I've bought everyone but I have mentioned this blog to them and would ruin the surprise if they actually did have a look! I can say that one of the thing's I've ordered for my sister came today; I ordered it on ebay and it arrived in the classic small brown envelope but I was nicely surprised when this kitsch credit card sized parcel fell out from inside! 

You might be thinking; "get over it, it's a piece of cardboard and a length of wool!", I order most things on Ebay from China, I'm not used to this attention to detail! I'm sad, I know! I am putting together my own little Christmas wish list and will hopefully post it when I get home from work tonight. I say hopefully as I'm working until half nine on Wednesday evenings now due to late night shopping for Christmas, I don't mind the extra hour work but getting home at 10pm is a little lame! I also got a busy day ahead of me tomorrow; I get my project grade for that dress I made which I'm really excited/nervous about! I'm not expecting a high grade as we are being marked at a third year level, I just want a pass so I don't have to repeat this module in the summer! It's also my last day in uni' before I break up for four weeks for Christmas! When we come back in January we'll be in the brand new city campus, woo new irons!


Again I am sorry about the lack of outfit posts I'm doing! I'm hopeful that I'll be able to fit in a few each week once I break up from uni' so I'll fingers crossed get better and faster at them! I wanted to at least post some interesting images today so thought I'd share these beauties with you from two years ago! This was for my Textile AS exam piece; I looked at clothing from the 60's and used the inspiration to create a look that would suit today's fashion. Can you guess who was the target consumer of my design?

Dress - Local Charity Shop

Neck Piece Created By Hand Using Card and Sequins

Let me remind you this was two years ago around the time 'Poker Face' was released and people's love for the Gaga was just blossoming; before the 'little monsters' and the meat dress when she was a platinum blonde with a love for PVC and kooky glasses...

I have big love for Gaga through all of her looks but where has she gone lately? She needs to release another killer party track to complete the Christmas party season! 2008 was 'Poker Face', last year was 'Bad Romance', come on Gaga don't disappoint!

They say oh, she's changed...

It's Tuesday already, since when did time start flying by so quickly! This year has flown by, but so much has changed for me in this fast paced year. I mean, this was me this time last year;

Before a black and white party last December

L-R - Christina, Carrie, Me, Sarah

Since then I have; been several shades of blonde, got myself my first boyfriend, finished high school, been on my first holiday without the parents, passed my A-Levels (A*A*AA, BEWSH!), upgraded my job title from barmaid/waitress to RI sales assistant, got into my chosen university, got my first car, took part in my first serious fashion show, created a pattern for and created my own garment and maybe more I can't think of?ha. (There has been low point's too, I'm far from perfect, just rather forgive and forget than get into all the drama!) I want to do a photo diary of my year but think I'll leave it a few weeks when we're a bit closer to 2011, exciting stuff!


I'm proud of my achievements because I worked blooming hard to get where I am now and still got a longgg way to go to get to where I want to be. Some people might be fortunate enough to get what they want handed to them on a plate, fair play to them, I'm not one of those people but happy to work myself as hard as I can to get them! Determination baby! I hope it doesn't seem like I'm blowing my own trumpet btw, I'm not really like that honest, just thinking back and liking the fact that I'm happy about the last 12 months, makes a nice change! Just hope I can keep up the momentum next year! How's everyone else's year been; full of big changes, good or bad?
