FORTY NINE.

I saw the long and ever-so-eagerly awaited Sex and the City 2 yesterday and I know critics have slated it and people I've spoken to are 50:50 about it, but I personally loved it.

Why?

Probably more so because of those £2000 Louboutins, that Birkin, Carrie's infamous Halston dress and Samantha's amazing hareems that girls everywhere should be trying to get their hands on. The clothes alone definitely more than make the film - those four girls can wear anything and still look fabulous at any time of the day, regardless of the situation facing them. I probably spent a good three quarters of it sat open-mouthed, wishing I could wear clothes like they do all of the time. The setting of it makes for fabulous viewing too; Abu Dhabi isn't the most obvious of choices and I did find myself pondering why they were even there but it did, admittedly, have spectacular scenery, an opening to a whole new culture and, of course, a couple of obligatory unique experiences involved!

Okay, so perhaps the storyline isn't as strong as it could have been, but so what? The $7 million clothes budget outweighs that and somehow makes the justification worth it! There are a few heart-wrenching moments throughout it but it didn't have as much as an emotional effect on me as the first one did, but, it did teach me about friendship and loyalty - it made me think and it made me thankful. Charlotte, Miranda, Samantha & Carrie have been to hell and back together (I know, I know, it's only make pretend!) but their friendship is still commendable and if anything, it makes me want to make sure I hold onto the few girlfriends I have now for the next 50 years.

And, I, along with every other girl around the world, want to work even harder so I can live in a fabulous New York apartment, be a successful author and work freelance for Vogue while still having time to spend ridiculous amounts on clothes and cocktails.

(Yes, I am one of those materialistic so-and-so's who wants EVERYTHING featured within every SATC episode and film but understands it won't ever happen, but hey, a girl can dream.)

FORTY EIGHT.

Just a quick heads up girls (sorry if there are any boys!) - my friend Becky is a fashion student and she handmakes the nicest clothes which she's just started selling on eBay and I thought some of you might be interested!

FORTY SEVEN.

Sorry for the God-awful pictures but face, nails and outfit of the night from last night:



If anybody wants to know what anything is/where it's from just let me know :)

FORTY SIX.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that I made it home, via Leicester, and I'm both alive and in one piece! However, on the last night in Tunbridge Wells I spent my last bit of money EVER. I got the following cardigan which is all I'm going to be wearing in the summer evenings because I love it to the moon and back:



Topshop, £35

They also do it in a grey and a khaki colour which I may well be investing in as soon as my first payday of the summer comes around! I also bought my first pair of jeggings - I've been wanting to jump on this bandwagon for quite some time now but I haven't been able to find the perfect pair, but now I have and I'm thanking Topshop. They were £20 and from the Tall section, which means they're long enough AND fit like a dream! Bonus. Got some boring old black leggings too, also from the tall bit. I've never really been impressed with that range until recently!

And, while we're on the topic of Toppers, has anybody tried their make up? If you follow me on Twitter you might know that I got their highlighter, £8, which has become my new favourite make-up product, it's more than amazing. I also got some matte nail polish; you paint it over any existing polish and it takes out the shine! Ingenious, and at £5 it's much cheaper than getting a whole new range of matte ones like those in Urban Outfitters. I'll probably do a product review, with photos, in the week. :)

Hope everyone is okay, and wow, 70 followers.. hello new people! :)

FORTY FIVE.

Hello! Just a quick update because I’m currently in the Mizz offices writing a feature called When Mates Take over – about what to do when your friends push you out and they get all the attention! It’s my last day today and I’ve really enjoyed myself, it’s definitely been an experience.

I just wanted to say, because I am mega excited, that I wrote these for the website!

I’ll be back to blogging as normal from next week unless I suffer a horrible injury/death from the journey through London that awaits with my life in tow behind me in the form of a suitcase!

FORTY FOUR.

First things first: hello new followers. I'm amazingly excited that there is 69 of you now! I also want to apologise for my lack of updates and lack of comments from me on all your wonderful blogs - I promise I do read but I've been at home this week and haven't brought my laptop (it was a case of having too many bags and not enough arms!) with me so I haven't really been online for long.

I've been all over the place the past week and the travelling is set to continue next week as well. Last Friday and Saturday I was in Manchester, I went to see Peter Kay on his Tour That Doesn't Tour Tour which was more hilarious than expected and then the day after was spent shopping in Manchester, once again spending more money than I have. I don't think I'll ever learn! Then on Monday I travelled back up north to Buxton to see my friend who is at University there, she took me on an adventure up loads (read: not many) of mountains (read: hills) and to this picturesque place that I can't remember the name of but I'll post photos below.

Tomorrow morning I'm travelling back to Leicester before heading off to Milton Keynes: The City of Dreams for a night out for one of my best friend's 21st birthday celebrations and then from there I'm travelling down to Tunbridge Wells for a week of work experience at Mizz magazine which I am so ridiculously excited for!

So bascially, this update is just to say I'll be back to normal posting in a week or so with, hopefully, lots of exciting stories to tell and pictures to post. :)

FORTY THREE.

Is it just me who dreads sneezing just after applying mascara? It happened to me this morning and I ended up with mascara EVERYWHERE.

Also, how is it May already? This year is going stupidly fast.
