It's that time of year again - Freshers Week. You may be wondering where the obligatory OOTN posts are - well I'm afraid I won't be joining the newbies this year as my body has decided to fall prey to the plague. Or a head-cold, whichever. My system just can't handle illness and alcohol at the same time. Boo.

I have however managed to prop myself up long enough to do a little outfit post - it's been a while. A pretty standard look today but I wanted to show you my new sandals. How cute are these? I couldn't decide whether I should get them in black or burgundy but I came to the conclusion I had way too many dark clothes in my wardrobe and that a little colour would brighten it up. They're so sweetly geeky and totally appropriate for back to school/uni.

I really hope I feel better for next week; I don't want to be the annoying student sniffing loudly every five seconds during a lecture. Wish me luck for this final scary year and  erm, pass me a tissue? *sneeze*

September so far...

... has been rainy. Very rainy. It's made me quite fearful of stepping outside of my door, but I'm going to have to overcome that phobia soon as my third year at uni is just around the corner. It's kind of really scary to think that in a years time I'll be a proper grown-up, looking for a proper job. Yikes. 

It's probably just as scary for you guys starting uni too, it's a huge step up from school or college. You're probably nervous about workloads, deadlines and of course making new friends - maybe my advice will help you on that front ...? But seriously, just be yourself, have fun but above all, work hard. Yes, this sound quite boring but if you want to have a great time you've got to keep on top of your studies. It's not as hard as you've heard, promise! You can do it.

I couldn't choose which colour, so I got both ♦ My inspirational advice to all freshers starting uni... ♦ OOTN for Tori Kelly, ßclick the link! ♦ My bro baked - so good ♦ Funny-face speccy-twonk ♦ Rubicon Mango Swirl ice cream

Hope you have a super September ♣

A message to you from Rudy

Hi, I'm Rudy!

 "After being pretty afraid of my new lead to begin with, I now love my daily walkies! This week we decided to go for a long walk and picnic on the Chase, a lovely local woodland area. I had so much fun and got rather mucky so Mommy and Daddy gave me my very first bath. I was extremely brave and I'm now squeaky clean!"

"In a few weeks my Mommy will be returning to uni to complete her degree and my Daddy will be starting his, which is really exciting. Summer may be over, but the next chapter is just beginning.. Good luck to everyone starting school, university or just returning for another year." ♣
