you can't go to bed without a cup of tea, and maybe that's the reason you can't get to sleep

I'm 22 today! Below are some photos from the past week: 1. Nice plants 2. Cool belts 10p each from the jumble sale 3. New blazer (£25 Miss Selfridge!) and today's outfit 4. A couple of other new bits 5. My birthday present!!!! 6. Textile sketchbook.

Today was spent driving around the Peak District, listening to Beyonce, Britney and Taylor Swift and teaching myself DSLR. I have so much uni work to do next week, my dissertation draft deadline is on Friday and I've just started my last ever Textiles project, I'm focusing on Japanese architecture.

All stocked up on shoes! The boots will be ideal for festivals with high waisted denim cut-offs and a parka.. The brogues would be really cute with school kid socks, flippy skirt, blouse and cardi and FINALLY Primark is stocking proper 90's kid jelly shoes! I also love how scrunchies are coming back, I really want the velvet and glittery ones from UO..
