    Not gonna lie, I’ve been knackered this week, from work and general silly winter season flu creeping into my system. Never the less I can’t really complain went I can just snuggle up in my room with a hot drink under the blankets – I even had my first festive coffee of the year from Starbucks yesterday.  
    Aside from this I had a really good catch up with some old school friends yesterday, it’s so odd to think I left about 4 years ago! So much has changed but it was nice to know we’re all still very much able to have a laugh together. 
    I may have also gone on a mini shop yesterday, got some beauty bits I want to review in the coming weeks and a brand spanking new Urban Outfitter bag for work. I love it already :)

    Another hectic week, again not only placement but so much other stuff a-happening! 
    I hope everyone had a lovely spooky Halloween, I personally sat inside in the warm and stuffed my face with sweets that were meant for trick or treaters before falling asleep for about 3 hours (rockstar life me!). November only means one thing to me…NANOWRIMO! After the disaster that was Camp Nano in August, I’m doing the really clever thing and writing again for NaNoWriMo. I won last year so there’s pressure to hit the 50k again, but I’m setting a personal target of 25k that I’ll be happy to hit. Speaking off books our run of Blogger’s Bookshelf reviews are now up and running. Go ahead and check out the site/my review, we’ve got some great reviews coming up too! We’ve already had some lovely feedback from it too :)
    My littles-or-not-so-little sister is now a teenager, she had her birthday on Friday during the day so I came home to a mountain of food and cupcakes in my house before heading out to Nandos for a work friend’s leaving do’. 
    And then the big thing! I visited the The Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour yesterday, which was just amazing and so worth a visit if you’re just thinking about going. I will do a proper post about it at some point this week – I have over 100 photos to sort through =S – so keep an eye out. I got a Ravenclaw (represent!) t-shirt and scarf, to wear at LeakyCon in August next year, and a wand! Nerd much :)
    I was also mentioned in this week’s Link A La Mode, the post will come tomorrow hopefully as the IFB office was hit pretty hard by Hurricane Sandy. I have relatives on the East Coast of the USA and I know a few followers are in that area too. I just wanna send my love to all of you and hope you’re all safe!

    Keep on wishing…

    Soundtrack: All Too Well – Taylor Swift

    Better late than never with this post. I owe the lateness to my laziness this Sunday morning, but isn’t it nice to just forget about blogging and work and just relax a little? 
    My soundtrack today was brought to me by the ever flawless Taylor Swift, who’s album has pretty much been on repeat this week. All Too Well is definitely a firm favourite for me plus Everything Has Changed (ft Ed Sheeran).
    The temperature has finally dropped for acceptable Autumnal/Winter dressing this week and I got to dig out my Forever 21 coat I got over the Summer, woop for layering! I was also crawl out of my introvert hole this week and actually socialised – what! – with a girls night out yesterday. After panic buying two tops at work, neither of them fit. So I hastily improvised an outfit – the top half of which was an old kimono top I had from TK Maxx worn as a wrap top (which I wore a vest top underneath), then tucked into a pair of tailored shorts. That along with my fake leather jacket made up the most impressively improvised outfit I have ever put together – proud fashion blogger moment right there. 
    Safely back in the blogging world and I’m gonna shamelessly plug my collaborative book blog – Blogger’s Bookshelf! Our maiden post went out on Friday, just introducing what’s about to go down, and the first review – written by yours truly – will be live tomorrow! I’m really proud of what me and the ever amazingly organised Erin have managed to pull together, and hope that all of said organisation has paid off! Still not too late to get in touch if you want to be a guest blogger though – just visit the blog for contact details :)
