Well, Christmas is well and truly on it's way!
I love Christmas. I just love it. But seriously, where has this year gone?!?!
I seemed to have blinked and it's just completely flown by me.
I've been pretty crappy the last couple of weeks, keep getting sick and I'm sick right now in bed, with a towel on my head procrastinating. I need to dry my hair to go to work but I just feel awful and really don't want to.
I haven't posted in a while so thought I would just write a little quick catch up.
I've really not been up to much, working and being sick is about the jist of it.
Oh! I did go see Mariachi El Bronx last week though with one of my best mates. They were SO, SO, SO good!! I had THE best night!....the next day definitely wasn't so much fun :s
Other than that, I've seriously not done much which is a kinda rubbish way to end a year.
But hey, that can all change in a second so hopefully I'll be feeling better soon and can actually do something fun!
I got a snap the other day of a local paper from someone who has been gone for a long time.... I mean we stayed in touch but they're back from their travels!! So that was nice! I don't know why this made me so happy but it did!
I can't think of what else to say other than I may try add to this later because I have to go dry my hair and go to work, which sucks. I would much rather stay in bed where I can puke alone, not in front of a shop full of customers....I can just see it now....Oh, why do I think these things?.. haha! This better not happen to me now!
Anyways,
Laters!

Because Sometimes...
Because sometimes I just need to be alone, and eat pizza, and drink hot chocolate, and watch girly movies in bed all cosy. I also invite a friend on the odd occasion!
I seriously love winter and love cosy nights in in my PJ's.
I love winter clothes, big jumpers and boots and stuff are the best but you just can't beat a good cosy pair of pjs and slippers or socks as the nights grow longer and colder!
I cant be the only one?!
Do you do this too?!
What movies/snacks would you choose??

Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe...
OKAY, so it's not Wednesday but hey, Halloween is fast approaching and it is definitely one of my favourite celebrations! I genuinely love it and look forward to it all year!!
October is my favourite month.
It is my Mum's birthday, it's autumn, everywhere is colourful, the weather is amazing and there are Halloween themed items in all of the shops!
I love skulls so thought I would post a little skull/Halloween themed inspiration board to get you in the mood - if you're not already!
I don't actually think I know anyone that DOESN'T like Halloween.
It's just a fun time! So get in the spirit!
It falls on a Friday this year and unfortunately I'll be in work Saturday morning but that's fine, I will postpone a day then I will dress up, get bloody looking cocktails at the ready and head out!
Actual Halloween will most probably be spent tucked up at home with my pumpkin spice candles burning, having a horror fest!
I couldn't be more excited!!
P.s - how amazing is this bedding?!?!

Hi Ho, Hi Ho....
It's off to work I go!!
Ok, so I've been looking for a job for a while now and let me tell you, it is NOT easy.
The only way you seem to be able to get a job these days is through someone you know, which is extremely frustrating!!
I absolutely HATE job searching, and it's not like there are new vacancies every single day.
It just gets really old, really fast and it really, really gets you down.
I've done hair here and there, but I can't imagine working in a salon. Doing hair was something I enjoyed doing, but my college experience ruined it. My course was completely rushed and I recently found out we were taught in shortcuts and the people who went back for level 3 had to be taught the real way to do things, so that was a total blow and I've lost confidence in myself because I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, even though I know I actually do because I actually read up and watched videos and demo's constantly.
ANYWAY.
I have a job finally!
And I think I'm gonna really like it! It's an unusual one, which I like, and I get to learn loads and travel a bit.
People are going to have opinions on this no matter what, because people always do and that's fine, I have my own opinion, so you're more than welcome to have your own but I'm still excited and find it really interesting.
I'm going to be a tobacconist.
The shop I will be working in is almost 200 years old!!
I am so excited to start tomorrow, I get to learn about pipes, cigars, tobacco....and my personal favourite, whiskey!!
I'm obviously very nervous, it's never fun being the new kid on the block but I've already done a trial shift with the people who work there and it all seems pretty interesting and the people are nice!! Which is always good!
I am so glad this is something I can get my teeth into! I've missed learning and I have been told apparently there is a qualification I can go for, 'masters of cigars', and I would be the first girl to do it! So, obviously, I want to do it so bad, and be the first girl!
It does seem like a pretty male dominated industry but I really want to get into it and become a specialist!
But we all know, besides the money, the best part of a new job is, of course, shopping for new clothes!
I have to wear black or black and white, which is fine because I live in black anyway so I already had a lot of stuff in but I ran out and got myself some pretty darn cute brogues and some trousers and I have to say, they look pretty snazzy on. I love the men's tailored look and I think that's what I'm going to be investing in, because I plan on staying in this job until I've literally done all I can with it...which I hope is never, because there will always be more to learn and more products coming out, new techniques etc.
So yeah, blazers, boyfriend coats, brogues, loafers, trousers, crisp white shirts! I can't wait to get paid!
I also needed a coat but was pretty strapped for cash, I looked everywhere, even good ol' Primark and just couldn't find one I liked, I wanted smart but structured, what's with all the weird fuzzy and bobbly textures this season?? Anyway I never think to look in Forever 21 for coats...I don't know why but I went in and there on the sale rail was a black, military/nautical boyfriend coat in my size! PERFECT! looked at the tag and it was reduced from £47.75 to £22.99 so I grabbed it and ran to the till.....rang up at £16. Was the best day ever!
I always struggle finding coats but this is a keeper! I'm not a huge fan of the gold buttons but I've pressed the collar so it is more 'boyfriend' style because I'll only wear it open anyway and I love it!!!

Autumn
So yeah. How boss is autumn?? I know I've said it a hundred times but I really do love it.
Everything is so pretty and magical and...transitional...I always feel good in autumn, like old crap is going away and leaving making way for new, good things.
I've been feeling that way in particular today, I've finally seen some of the stuff I've been choosing not to see for a while now and it feels good to breathe and know it's all good! I can move on from this thing/these people. Yes, it's really quite sad but it's time to bring the good in and only the good!
So here's to that! For me and all of you!!!!!
