    If I’ve scheduled this post right, I should be currently at my town’s local Cultural Mela Festival or catching up with friends over some hearty Chinese food. 
    It’s been a week of catch ups, hot chocolate and spending money I shouldn’t be spending. I spent Tuesday in town hitting the Summer Sales and picked up some bits from River Island and Zara, which you’ll probably see on here soon, and catch up with an old theatre friend. Thursday night was also spent having a good old gossip with some friends from college over a few drinks and some food. We were supposed to go out after but old age seems to be creeping up on all of us and we headed home before midnight! Ah such party animals, right? ;)
    I also had a bit of a book splurge to help push forward my target to read and finish 10 books by Christmas. I’m notorious for starting novels, getting bored/distracting halfway through, then starting another book, so setting a goal is probably best for me. If anyone’s interested I’m currently reading ‘Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares’ by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn (they also wrote Nick & Nora’s Infinite Playlist). I’m really enjoying it at the moment and may do a review either on here or Tumblr so watch this space!

    Sometimes I forget just how much of wardrobe is stocked with New Look clothes. If any of you haven’t guessed by now, I work there part time and it’s become so easy over the past three years to shun away from other highstreet/online stores in favour of using my staff discount to get bits on the cheap [as seen with my mini jewellery haul last Friday]. I am branching out a little though and nabbed the gorgeous kimono cover up in the River Island sale, whilst shipping was free, and cannot wait to wear it out! 

    I’ve definitely had one of those insular kind of weeks, spending a lot of time at home (mainly helping out my poorly mum), sorting out my room/life and becoming hopelessly addicted to Avatar:The Last Airbender and the Lizzie Bennett Diaries on YouTube. 
    I did spend today prepping for a little dance demo me and some of my Filipino friends/sister’s friend are doing for our local Cultural Mela Festival. I won’t be full on dancing myself [I seem to have lost that ability since leaving the musical theatre world], but am happy to help out. My family’s lot of Paralympic tickets also arrived this week! Cannot wait to blog about it in August, should be an amazing 2 days!
    Also! How are you all liking the refreshed layout? I’m thinking of tinkering around with it a big this week and would love to hear a bit of feedback :)

    Another bitty week of my Summer holidays. I did have a little bit of a splurge day out shopping with a friend on of mine on Tuesday. I headed over to the Urban Outfitters sale, not only bagging a new top but Model’s Own Nail Art pens for £3! Boots were also doing a Buy one, get one Half Price on their Model’s Own products. I’ve been dying to try out their nail polishes and I have to say I’m really impressed. There is definitely value is splashing out for a good quality nail polish as the one I’ve been sporting since Friday [Aqua Violet Beetlejuice], hasn’t chipped at all. Nearly three days may not seem that impressive but you also have to take into account the fact that I was working yesterday and I’m a generally clumsy person when it comes to my nails. I also got a few new beauty buys too which I’m thinking of reviewing at some point once I’ve given them a fair chance.
    I had a good clear out and organised my desk, shelves and Uni stuff. Feels so good throwing out things that I don’t need anymore and it’s always amusing finding old notebooks and school bits from yesteryear. 

    Keep on wishing…
