this morning i went shopping to the metro centre with my mam. she dragged me around tkmaxx for ages! i found some gorgeous doc martens for only £25!

and some BEAUTIFUL jill sander heels but they were like £270 so i couldn't really afford those.. but i was in heaven.


this blouse is my all time favourite top. i now have four different colours of it! ahaha.. the new editions include a black one and a leopard print one. to match my two floral ones.

i then went to the doctors this afternoon... oh dear. i'm getting referred back. back to square one.. another mental bloody assessment. no further forward.

then the sky turned pink tonight! so naturally i took pictures..





peace out.

just enjoy the show.

hate mondays.

washed my hair this morning and then left it to dry curly as hell. felt like shit all day really. had an hour of tutorial then two hours of media, then another hour of tutorial. then abby gave me a lift most of the way home.

tutorial was alright, looked at uni's and personal statement stuff. it's really really daunting and scary - the futures getting really and i'm shitting it.

media was prettttttyyyy borrrrring. talking about theories and what not. james our media teacher is being a right arse this year and making our table split up for no reason, he's getting on my tits. he was dead nice last year. god knows what's up with him. so i sat with abby on the other table.. like little loners we were.

i got home and ate tea, it was beautiful. i'd forgotten how much i loved rice noodle stir fry. i'll be having that more often with my slimfast for dinner. i hate how all slimfast foods except the chocolate bars and snacks taste like metal and medicine. basically because they've tried to stuff them up with as many minerals and vitamins they possibly can. slimfast shakes and meals always have that same sickly... twang about them - ergh!

then i frantically tried to take some time lapse pictures to make into a video to look like i've done some work for tomorrow. here's some shots from it...


i then watched the inbetweeners because will and jay and simon and neil are all fucking awesome.. and then i cracked on with some work.. it's not twenty past two in the AM - shit. where's today gone.

could you please put your first item on the scanner!

today i planned to get loads of college work done. did it happen? did it fuck.

my ipod broke, my computer broke and my printer broke in one day.
i was in a flap so my mam and dad took my to pc world and got the whole family a nice new printer, we needed one anyway so we got a kodak wireless one so everyone can use it whenever..

i came home and made myself some cornflakes and scanned in a whole loada pictures.. here's some.




there's a few, i'll post some more tomorrow, pretty boring day helping dominic do science equations and feeling cold and tumblr-ing.
night, i'm shattered.

170910

got a lift from diane at 8.45am to shiney row this morning for my photography lesson. it was pretttttyyyy good. me, amy, gabby and dan really just messed on in dan's car all in the name of photography haha.



the only productive thing to come of that lesson was a small crappy time lapse/stop motion video of amy walking through college.

here's my fat head and chloé the camera.

then amy and gabby's perfectly messy hair do's. i'm so completely jealous of them both. they're perfect and i'm an ugly heffer. DIET!

i came home for the day and did some college work.. i made some dinner and waited for my mam to come home.. once she was home we went into durham because i needed a new top. i got ink on my favourite blouse yesterday in graphics and i want a replacement because my mam ruined it even more afterwards with bleach. i also got a lovely new necklace and this headband but i don't know if i dare wear it outside my room hahaha.. it's dead big!

first off, i HATE the bloody buses.. i'm gonna go get a passport picture done tomorrow and send off for my provisional license, get insured and start learning to drive whilst practising in my mam's car too. pass first time (HA!) and drive myself to college and back.

the one and only STUPID bus i need to catch on a morning was insanely early, when i was actually on time. so i ended up being late and pissing off my new tutor already. great start. all the tutorial teachers at usworth hate me so bad.

i spent the rest of the two hour lesson applying to ucas.. how bloody confusing.
i got a lift home from abby! i witnessed her first stall in her own car! wahooo... she's just passed her test - canny little driver bless her. i've never even started an ignition? is that the right word?

so got home, made myself some pasta and took some photos on my film camera, needed to use up the first practice film and get it developed to see how my camera works and performs!

so i got re-ready for work... here's my outfit..

denim shearling collar jacket - primark
floral blouse - new look
wet look leggings - can't remember, had them ages.
lilac ballet shoes - new look

then i caught the bus back to work at 3, i went to max spielmann's to develop my film for saturday... and off to work i went. suprisingly it flew over! i was so suprised! ..tash was in and ashleigh who i hadn't met before - she seems nice.

i came home, ate some tea and chocolate brownies..
i watched the vma's with dominic since we'd recorded it and then it was time for bed after a quick look on tumblr! x

10/09/10

went through to washington with my mam to buy a lovely floral blouse and to double check my shifts for tomorrow and next week. the shirt here looks a lot worse than it does IRL ..it's a lot less fitted and more 'swingy' than this.


we the spent about an hour in next, trying desperately to order a bloody 2 seater sofa for my mams new 'mini' living room at the back of the kitchen/dining room. she's already bought one... then took it back. she then bought a lamp.. and took it back. she bought some cushions.. then took them back.

but finally a sofa has been ordered. this one can't go back so even if she doesn't the bugger she'll have to put up with it. my mam said she'd buy me one pair of boots from online.. but i cannot for the life of me decide which ones out of these i actually want! any help?


i came home and basically sorted out the rest of my room and college files all night. since i've done a bit of shopping lately i decided that i needed a good sort out of all my reciepts.. i now know what my mam want to ban my shopping sprees.

this is literally everything i've bought lately. and frankly it's far too much and shocked me quite a bit..

oopsies.



that's my worriesd, oh god hope mam doesn't see all of these face.

watched the final of ultimate big brother - it was so good. i'm gunna miss that show and i'll miss davina too.. i watched it most summers growing up! then watched 8 out of 10 cats - the big brother special and tidied up my room until the early hours of the morning.

feel a bit sick and worried now though.. cannot believe he's told her. i shall be a very apologetic lady in the morning or after work. dreading tomorrow.

only two days of the holidays left :'( i'm so distraught.

just like an alexa

woke up to dominic in my room asking if i'd do his hair for school.
i grunted a bit then got up but refused because it was way too early.
i'm such a mean sister..

so i was up and home alone, love it. i sat with my music blasting, eating huge bowls of cornflakes reading my vogue that got delivered this morning, cheryl's on the cover again.. she looks dead different. i'm not sure on the whole look of the cover like.. it's excessively cheesy this month, i like cheryl a bit more edgy than that.

anyway, i tool ages to get ready after that.. there was no rush and i wasn't at work until 4pm. i showered, did my hair and make up then got dressed. i didn't manage to get a picture of my outfit - but i thought it was alright, for work.
1. navy and white striped bandeau top
2. beige cargo/hareem/drop crotch trouser things
(basically you look like you've shit yourself, it's fun)
3. my really old grubby biker boots that are falling to pieces on me
4. a brown/beige/pink floral scarf

i caught the bus to the galleries around 1pm cause i needed to get all my college files and stationery sorted! i got everything from either poundland.. or rymans in a 3 for 2 offer (with student discount) or in sainsbury's half price school sale

here's a pictureeeeeeeee.

i get so excited by stationery, it's so cute hahha...

i also got that hat, a pink jumper, a grey sweatshirt and some knee high socks
from new look.. then i got this beautiful alexa look-a-like from internacionale believe it or not.. it was only... wwait for it... £16.99. i was sooo so tempted to get the other colours but my mam has a ban on my buying any more bags.


and here’s my bag that i got for my birthday, finally got some photos printed to go in it… it’s kinda cheesy, but it’s cute and it was a present from the parents.

you can get the bags and other bits and bobs from here…
http://www.clippykitlondon.co.uk/
i want the make up bag, the shower curtain and the umbrella.

i got home and had tea, broke my computer.. fixed my computer.. and now it's bladdy 246am! whattttttttttttt?! good night.

CHARLIE ♥

woke up at half twelve, lovely jubbly.

pissed about on the computer for a while. i know where my bad posture comes from.. sitting hunched over this her desk!

the only, fathomable thing i did all day was take the dog for a walk... i took some disposable cameras to use up the last few pictures then i came home and took some picture of my and my doggieeee <3 the babe.




then i had tea, talked to my brother about his first day of school and tumblred.
my exsistence is very very sad.



oh! and her's my latest lookbook. hope you like.

TROUSERS FROM ZARA

NIGHTNIGHT XO

chillax

was woken up by the scrapman banging on my front door at about 9am this morning wanting to know whether the lawn mower needed taking. whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

so i tumblred in bed for a few hours until dinner. i re-edited up a few pictures i'd taken recently...




i went to the gym with charlotte for an hour and a half this afternoon to catch up with her for a while.. it was good :) but i get too bored of the gym, far too easily.

apart from that i've done nothing productive much, just facebooked and text dan and abby for a while..

i'm shattered too

CANON AE-1

i had to get up exceptionally early this morning. COLLEGE INDUCTION DAY.

but i was still late and dashing around.
the bus i went to the catch, didn't exist early in the mornings so the next one was 10 minutes later. daniel picked me up at the galleries bus station and we zoomed through to college and made it there for 9am by the skin of our teeth, well 9.03am.
our new tutor took the register, but trust my name not to be there. so i had no paperwork or timetable.

she went down to sort out my life and came back with my timetable. it's the most awesome timetable ever! i've got all monday mornings off until 1.15pm-3.15pm same goes for tuesdays except i'm in until 5.30pm. on wednesdays i'm in from 9-11am then i'm done for the day. thursdays i have a 4 hour gap in the middle - lush. and fridays i'm in from 9-11am again! yeaaaaaaaaaaah

basically, my weekends have now been extended from 11am on fridays until 1.15pm on mondays. SWEET.

induction took about an hour or so after we'd gotten our new cards and met up with gabby to help her enrol properly. me and dan were bored, so we had a drive to macdonalds to wait for gabby's induction to finish. we came back, had a little bitching session and chilled in the college - yes, how sad.

dan gave me and gabs a lift home after i nipped to poundland for some folders.
i got home and basically chilled all afternoon, until i got a call from my dad.

saying that he was in lamburgh or wherever, in an amazing camera shop. it sells every single type of camera ever made.. lego cameras, spy cameras, ancient cameras, everything! dad said they had just gotten a huge worldwide delivery in and they had two Canon AE-1 35mm film slr camera for sale. one was a bit battered and the other was almost mint condition, with a 3 month guarantee and an instruction booklet. needless to say i bought the mint condition one, which two lots of coloured film and some black and white film too. so all afternoon i was SOOOOOOO EXCITED for my dad to drive home with my new baby.

he got home about half eight and I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT <3
i had a quick play around with it and then got changed and ready to go to abby's.

at abby's we...
- ate pizza and watched the footy match
- i drank a full bottle of wine to myself cause i'm a greedy hard nut.
- craig poured a shot of vodka in his eye ahahahaha, hilarious.
- danced around the living room to various songs.. on my phone.
- me and craig wore matching ourtfits.. kind of.
- danced some more...
- chilled out watching the jungle book until we fell asleep ahaha.
- we all had hats on too - weird

I'M BACK OFFICIALLY :)

i don't know why i hadn't realised i could do this before now.. but i'll just copy my 365 daily tumblr blog onto here too.. so my lovely blogger people can read it too! durrr sophie durr!!

so without further a do...

what a lovely day! first of all i woke up in a good mood, because i was going shopping by myself today. as sad as it sounds - i love shopping by myself. i can fully concentrate on the clothes and i end up getting things i like and will actually wear and not take back. so i fannied on all morning, getting ready - my extensions worked again wahoooo. i took a few webcammy pictures..

i got the bus to washington first to put a request in for split festival with the girls, hope i get the time off!! i bought some stuff from my shop first of all... i've taken pictures of it all... but it's mixed in with the other buys in this collage thingy.

the black maxi skirt, grey/blue floral blouse and drapey navy t-shirt are from my new look all half price, as usual - i love my staff discount.

then the fleece denim jackey, knitted jumper, checked shirt and studded jeans are all from the newcastle primark. i had quite the successful day :) i got some funny leggings too, i'll post a picture tomorrow of those.. i can get my head around how the material works... it's weird!

here's some accesories i got too..

two floral belts half price in new look.

and this was my fang necklace from topman yesterday, close up better picture for ya. i also got the raspberry coloured snood/scarf thing from new look too, picture below.

i came home and walked the dog in my new shirt hehe, here's an outfit post.

vest top: new look
levi skirt: vintage
snood: new look.

i then put on my new navy, slouchy, drapey, t-shirt thing with a velvet bodycon skirt and brown sandals to go down to the pub, to reunite with my friends who i've missed while i've been away.
i also got a belated birthday present from charlotte, she'd bought me this beautiful topshop leopard print bag.. it's furry too. shannen says it feels like a cat haha!
