Where there’s tea, there’s hope

The quote above is something I couldn’t agree with more. So much so… that it might just be the inspiration of a tattoo I’m getting next week 🙂 But any more details would be telling! The past week for me has pretty much consisted of a good dose of friends, family, food, tea, and enjoying the last of the sunshine as the days get shorter and the mornings chillier. I treated myself to a few new things at the shops today, including a nice big hoody from Topshop, a warm hat from Primark and a scarf from H&M. I’m one of these people who’s winter wardrobe is pretty much just their summer wardrobe but with tights and a thick knit cardi. Not the best, but I can’t deny that summer is well and truly gone, so time to wrap up warm 🙁

However the colder weather does still bring us some bright clear days too (sound like I could be a weather woman here) and I’ve actually been getting a lot of use from my Rayban sunglasses I won in the Style Passport competition. They are absolute wee beauties! My own prescription glasses are Raybans, and both them and the aviators are so comfy to wear, you’d almost forget you have them on. You can shop for clothes and accessories by destination on the Style Passport website, which is really handy but it’s got me itching for a little winter break somewhere before the end of the year. Would be great to get snowboarding or perhaps pay London a visit at christmas time. But I’m moving into a new flat over the next couple of weeks so money may be tight. Need to save my pennies for candles, and bedcovers, and cushions from ikea 🙂 (and meatballs too of course)

Thank you to Liberty at Style Passport for contacting me about the competition, and thank you for all you wee legends that voted for me 🙂

This weekend I’m meeting my new landlord (a very old family friend) to discuss the new house and get things organised. Nervous about it but really excited too. I’m going to a house party on saturday night, and to a wedding fair with Luisa on sunday 🙂 I’m a bridesmaid at her wedding in 2013, so if anyone could share any hints or tips on how can fulfill this role to the fullest, please share your wisdom (but maybe I should just use the film Bridesmaids as a guide? or not, haha…) I had a lovely time with the girls at the Zen event the other evening, got my HD Brows and shellac nails done too which was an absolute treat, pictures to follow soon.

What’s your plans for the weekend? Have felt a bit out of the loop lately so would love to hear what everyone’s up to. Watching american x factor and a blogger (will need to google him) is dancing on stage with his pants down… please tell me someone else saw this too?!
