Well hello!..

So its been an obscene amount of time since i last posted, its horrifically bad! so since i last posted i've moved to Falmouth, Cornwall for university, and nearly at the end of my first term in Fashion Design! can you believe it, 1/9th into my whole 3 years at uni... shit the bed! so far my journey has been a total roller-coaster ride!  our term basically started with the classic "getting to know your peers" kind of week, with scavenger hunt around Fally' and day trip to St. Ives, which was beautiful!! about our 3rd week in we were finally given our brief of, NO FASHION.

we were given a shirt project to do over the summer, which was totally pointless! so this new brief was to research the words: ABSURDUST, TRAVELLER, FRENETIC, AND CLINICAL. hence No Fashion! being the brief name, we wern't allowed to look at anything fashion or textile related, purely images which we found interesting and inspiring.  i didn't find this first project totally enthrawling but it was good first project to have and good plunge into the deepend with having to produce a Shirt at the end of the project.  i just got my results back from my first project and i got a 2.2. i am soo happy with this, especially for my first project and it gives me loads of space to grow, and improve!

so with all the boring worky stuff said about, onto what uni is all about!! alcohol and socialisng!:)
without sounding too corny, the past 3 months have deffinately been the best of my life.  i have learnt so much about life, and made so many great people and many of the great friends. the biggest hurdle for me to overcome has definately been learning to cook, minus the multiple occasions of forgetting to turn the oven on, i've done myself proud :')

 

so these are just a few images of my first term in Falmouth.  and just an inkling into the amount of memorys and friends i have made:) im going home for christmas tomorrow, suprising my family of my arrival! im going try and keep on track of this old gal' during christmas and in the new year so you can hear more about my life in uni and the journeys im going on :)

stuck in a hair rut..

im writing this as i settle down to watch Pocahontas, the Disney princess with the longest thickest and voluptuous hair im about to have a moan about how much I hate my hair right now.. how inconsiderate! why cant real hair be like the disney princesses hair?


so for years i've always contemplated different hairstyles, but always stuck to my typical armpit length locks. i am now so sick of my hair, its so limp and lacks everything and anything! the only thing it has going for it is the colour!! i will never change the colour.  every summer i fight the dilemma of getting a bob but always chicken out.. this summer i feel is a different type of summer, this summer is the start of my adulthood and growing up, going to uni in September is the biggest thing to ever happen in my life and i couldn't be more excited, so i think a change in hair style could be a good thing for me! 

im not a huge Chezza fan but i do have a massive hair crush on her ever changing locks! her waves always look so natural and fresh, and the length of these to images is so manageable! Nicola Roberts is a total icon to me, not only do we share the ginger gene and what not but she helps to empower us pale redheads!  i have seen her with a few dodgy bad hair days, but all in all her hair is beautiful!!  so if i do take the plunge and risk the bob cut i think that this length is the safest option :) anybody else have any other hair crushes or ideas for my next trip to the hair dressers?

long time no speak!!

i feel ashamed at the serious lack of blog posts for the past month or so! but i promise you im back and pumped for the summer :) yayy! as you probably know ive just come back from my girls holiday to magaluf, when i say just i mean 2 weeks ago.. i still have the holiday blues, i keep meaning to post my photo's but keep forgetting to save my photo's to my laptop.. sorry! (challenge for tonight!)  so my summer has officially begun, and definately started it well, by going to Ponty's Big Weekend yesterday and seeing my boy Olly Murs! he definately didn't let me down :) and of course this beautiful weather we're now getting is definately helping me get over my holiday blues!!
