    I’m back! 
    So if you’ve been keeping up with me on Twitter you know I’ve had a weird couple of weeks. First of all I need to thank my four lovely guest bloggers for churning out content much better than what I usually put out :P
    Erin kicked off the run with a beautiful DIY Paper Heart Garland, the lovely Laura showcased her pretty summer nail art in her post, little miss globetrotter Anajali shared some great travel tips, and finally one of my favourite bloggers Becky post an awesome post on why she loves Harry Potter.
    Speaking of Harry Potter you may have noticed I was LeakyCon a week ago with my best friend Kath (no Ria were you really? shocking! What?!…) My two round up posts are now up and you can read part 1 and part 2. I did take the Monday after I came back off from work but I still feel exhausted and my brain still hasn’t adjusted to real life yet. Case in point. I spent most of the time watching Order of the Phoenix when is was on TV yesterday shouting ‘I met her’ to the TV every time Evanna Lynch aka Luna Lovegood on screen. I’ve also had Hank Green’s ‘Accio Deathly Hallows‘, Lauren Fairweather’s ‘Home‘ and Alex Carpenter’s ‘Bow Ties Are Cool‘ on rotation in my head. LeakyCon felt like a bizzaro alternative universe where it was ok to burst into a rendition of ‘Get Back To Hogwarts’, people understood me when I told them DFTBA and Wizard Rockers were greeted with a reaction similar to that of headline acts at Glastonbury.
    But back to the real world and the realities that I’m finishing my work placement in two weeks (WHAT), start Uni in almost a month and no one cares about my LeakyCon stories anymore (I think I talked my sister’s ear off about it already).
    That being said apart from LeakyCon a lot of things have happened that I’ve yet to properly share and I’m hopefully going to be able to do that in the next few weeks.

    Two Weeks #2

    This is a quicky post as I’m heading to BRIGHTON tomorrow for a Bloggers Meet Up ^_^. It’s been a busy ol’ two weeks blogwise. I finally got going on my redesign! It’s still not quite finished but I hope you like what I’ve done so far. I’m really happy with how it turned out but let me know what you think, always love a good bit of feedback :) Aside from this it’s been busy, busy, busy drafting posts, including my two part Met Gala round ups here and here and my Great Gatsby post, planning ahead and actually taking time to read blogs. I feel I’ve been majorly slacking on doing this lately I clearly follow so many!

    Insta Apr #4

    – Day #204 – Day #205 – Blog Inc – Day # 206- West Quay Student Lock-In – What I wore that evening – Afternoon in Starbucks – Special birthday package from my best friend – NEW CAMERA! – A little vino on Saturday afternoon – The Market Inn in Salisbury – Birthday card from my parents – Present Haul – Les Mis movie soundtrack – 100 days till LeakyCon – Day # – Banana cake baking – Day #207 – Day #208 – Day #209 – Currently reading, Nocturnes, Kazuo Ishiguro – French plait courtesy of le sis – Costa Cooler kinda afternoon – pretty blossoms – Vogue treat yesterday – 

    Phew well it’s been a busy two weeks! First of all…turning 21. Yep that happened. Birthdays are weird things, especially big ticket age like 21 years old, you kinda expect to change overnight but nope. I’m still the same ol’ nerdy little me ^_^ This was only reinforced by my present haul of nerdy Harry Potter, Musical Theatre and Literature gifts from my family and best friend. I had a chill one, which you can read about from my birthday post from the other day. 
    Apart from the excitement (?) of now really being ‘in my 20’s’ I’ve been taking my blog up to next level with Blog Inc (which I’m very tempted to review soon, it’s so good) and…*drum roll* a brand new camera! I bought a new Olympus D-750. It’s a compact but from what I’ve played around with so far, it’s pretty decent for someone like me who’s a hobbyist blogger. A new camera hopefully means more photography because…let’s face it, it’s my new play thing and I love it. 
    I know I’ve been saying the past few weeks that I’m updating and trying out new content and graphics blah blah blah…but really now I’m rolling it out starting with these posts. This weeks are turning into two week posts and means I now have an extra blogging spot to write about other things! Hopefully I can keep this. Keep an eye out for other new/improved bits and pieces in the coming weeks =)
