    Merh…I feel like so much has happened in the past two weeks but motivation-wise I’m just not in the mindset to blog =| I’m not sure what’s happened to my blogging head but I’ve definitely hit a wall. Might be to do with Uni, might be other stuff. Either way there are times when you have to accept that your brain is telling you to step away from the computer and do something else. I think I’ve had that this week, but hopefully I can get back on track soon!
    It’s a shame because so much exciting stuff has happened! I met up with the lovely Erin for a good catch up at La Tasca in London and wander around the city – the meet up felt apt with it being Blogger’s Bookshelf‘s first birthday ^_^. There’s been all the awesome birthday celebration stuff happening over at Blogger’s Bookshelf itself that’s been crazy awesome to be part of – make sure you head on over there to see all the birthday posts and Team reviews! Plus I got to head to London again for my sister’s birthday to go and see The Lion King, which was just incredible. We also spent some time at the Victoria and Albert Museum in the morning, but me being such an amazing blogger…I went and forgot my camera didn’t I? *well done Ria* I did borrow my dad’s though, so will make sure to sift through those photos soon!

  • Beauty | Alexa Chung for Eyeko London

    Could there be a beauty/celeb collaboration more perfect than Alexa Chung and Eyeko London? The British TV personality/fashion d’ahling has teamed up with the famous eye make-up brand for a limited edition set to be released this month! Known for her signature 60’s-inspired style, the collection will include a liquid liner and mascara duo that will help you recreate her effortless eye make-up look. 
    Can we also just talk about how cool the packaging is? I love the awesome blue/silver tones and doodles, designed by Alexa herself and artist Alia Penner. Totally cool. Totally Alexa.

    Two Weeks #13
    – awesome sunset – stripes & boot season – a break in the clouds over the Harbour – cameo necklace – catch up with Kath at 7Bone – werk selfie – dissertation madness – Krispy Kreme for the train home – Autumnal colours – got my hands on Allegiant – 
    This is just a quick one today as I’m currently on a train to go see the lovely Erin in London town – hopefully I won’t get blown away or stranded because of falling trees on train lines #Eek. Very much of the same in terms of life. I feel like someone’s just hit the ‘power on’ button at Uni and the past week in particular has just gotten insanely busy. Am just hoping to get through the next week and relax a little thanks to a mini Employability Week at Uni (with no scheduled seminars/lectures wahoo!). Uni is one half of the story because blog life has been hectic too, as I’ve been managing this blog the past two weeks on top of the very exciting birthday posts at Blogger’s Bookshelf!
    Speaking of which! It was the blog’s first birthday yesterday! How mental is it that Erin and I have been running this show alongside our team of awesome writers for a year?? Erin was a clever little thing and found the actual post that set the cogs in motion here :) crazy how one little comment on a post like this can spiral! We’ve got a little giveaway going which includes a copy of Earth Star and a signed copy of Fearsome Dreamer! It’s running for till the 9th November so get those entries in quick ;)
