Oh Betsey, why do you do this to me?
All images are from ebay. These lovelies are avaiable from american sellers and rrp from $50 onwards. The seller I have been watching claims 100% authenticity in all her products, but after a bad ebay experience with some fake MAC items (lesson learned, should really steer clear of ebay when it comes to makeup!) who also claimed 100% authenticity… how can I tell either of these three are genuine Betsey Johnson bracelets? She says they are sold with original price tags still intact, so I suppose thats some good reassurance.
Anyways, I’m chilling on my bed with David after what seems like the longest weekend ever. Over friday and saturday I worked 25 hours for the BBC and Talkback Thames doing Over The Rainbow. Andrew LLoyd Webber is looking for a Dorothy to take to the west end! How exciting. We had some news coverage on saturday on BBC and STV but I didnt get a chance to catch it because I was working (duhh) but David saw it at about 4pm. On saturday morning I got to meet the legend that is Mr Lloyd Webber himself 🙂 So pretty safe to say by saturday night after two full days of auditions and filming we were all knackered, and I came home for some well earned sleep. My poor mister had suspected food poisoning at the start of the week so some quality time with him today has been lovely. I’m back at uni tomorow, and I’ve got the feeling that this last 6 months is going to be the quickest of my life. I’ll be talking more about uni related stuff in the next wee while now that I’m back – and this blog was initially started as a source of my reflection – so I hope you all still continue to read 🙂 I am so thrilled to have 77 followers, you are a special and supportive bunch ♥ Special thanks for all your kind comments on my last few posts. I shall get round to replying to them all super soon, promise!
My boyfriend David and two of my best friends Jenn and Katrina have all started blogging recently. They dont have much written (yet) but I would appreciate any following and support you could give them – you know how daunting it is when you first come into the blogging world! Here are their links 🙂
My sunday best right now is consisting of:
listening to newly downloaded tunes with my skull candy headphones
continuing to successfully save money for my travels
enjoying the challenge of bargain hunting when it comes to clothes (as recent star finds have really made me resent the overpriced shite we are enduring on the high street at the moment)
2010 unfolding nicely via my nice new moleskin diary
trying to be more organised and tidy
the first 2,700 words of my research project not being a complete disaster!
getting as many freelance jobs outwith uni as I can
the thought of spending more time with the people who matter most ♥ I’m starting to get the best balance I’ve ever had.
keeping a regular blog, and finishing every silly bloody task that I set my mind to!
2010, you have made me the most determined little soul ever 🙂 Keep ’em coming.

I love the skull one! cute but a bit tough!
Lucky you meeting ALW, did you not want to burst into song to wow him? think I'd have to just because it's him..and he'd run. 🙂

So jealouse you met the legend ALW! Will def be watching the programme when it comes on. I am always wary of ebay too – but if they have the original tag it should be okay.
January 11, 2010 at 1:20 pmWill check out the blogs!

oo those Betsey bracelets are adorable!! Check out the seller's feedback from buyers to see if buying the bracelets is safe! And make sure to leave a scathing review on the MAC faker! That's just awful of them!!

OH my gosh you met ALW he's legend! I'm wondering if I'll be able to watch the show online…if so, will all your work be in the background?
January 12, 2010 at 2:56 amI heart Betsey Johnson and yeah, getting duped on eBay freaks me out.
THANKS for your comment about helping me with the pix/linx – I still haven't attempted to follow your instructions but I will soon. xo

"I give you permission to give me a virtual slap" HAHA I'll keep that in mind. For the hair – nothing exciting, just a touch-up on my blonde highlights. Boyfriends made me promise to not change my color – I'm just trying to grow it out now.
