Sometimes It Snows In April

Hello!
 
This time last year I'm pretty sure I was spending my days in shorts and dresses, I have forgotten what having bare legs and not wearing a coat feels like! Even the weather man was apologizing for the forecast on the news this week, April is looking pretty bleak.
 
Even though it is freezing cold and snowy in London there is still plenty of fun to be had (in twelve layers) so this week my friend Fran and I decided to have a nice cultured day out - we started off at the V&A, which is probably my favourite museum in London, but I was really sad as when we tried to get into the amazing library a huge bouncer threw us out claiming you weren't allowed bags in there?! I suppose people try to steal the books and Fran and I obviously looked like criminals.
 
We went for lunch and ate our own weight in food before heading to The Old Operating Theatre. Now, I've already posted about this place before and I absolutely love it. Think my obsession with old medicine stems from GCSE History where I met my best friend Megan and we would spend our days making up songs about historical figures, anyway this love has stayed with me so The Old Operating Theatre is like heaven to my inner history geek.
 
I think Fran was a bit scared of all the medical paraphernalia and it made her quite grateful for the NHS so after looking at rusty amputation tools I took her to Patisserie Lila in Borough Market to recover with a giant slab of red velvet cake.
 
I hope you are all coping in this bitter April weather, let's all hope summer is just around the corner!

Snowy Sundays


Hello!

This is my last weekend in Southampton before I go home to London for Easter, so my housemate Charlotte and I decided we must spend our last Sunday together for a while updating the old blogs!

It's absolutely freezing here at the moment, so rather than braving the great outdoors we decided to use my bedroom as a backdrop instead - any chance to give my bunting some limelight, I ruddy love that stuff.

You can see Charlotte's blog here.





I am using Mac lipstick in Diva, best lipstick EVER.


My overflowing books - safe to say that only about 10% of these are Uni related.



I had been looking for a vintage Chiltern bag for absolutely ages, and I found this treasure on Ebay and managed to get it for £1.50 - actually could not believe my luck!




Top - H&M
Skirt and Belt - Topshop
Hat - Urban Outfitters

So - that's my room! I made all of the bunting myself, bedding is all from Next/Ikea, my fairylights are from John Lewis and Laura Ashley aaaand the frames are from all over. I am so sad that Polaroid film is so stupidly expensive now, if it was as cheap as it used to be I think my walls would be even more covered!

Snow

Hello!

Southampton has been covered in a lovely layer of snow and it looks SO pretty so I dragged myself out into the cold to take photographs.

My housemate Charlotte and I went to one of the parks near our house, it looked so lovely and everyone was out frollicking and having a great old time.

I wore about ten layers of clothing and was still freezing, feeling pretty sad about the fact I have lots of pairs of wellies sitting in a cupboard at home while I'm in Southampton with nothing but Vans!

Hope you are all enjoying the snow as much as we are,
