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*

Freshers '12 - freshers for a non fresher ☺

This time last year, I was attending Freshers '11, and now, I am ermm, attending it again, as a big grown up 2nd year, go me. I must be getting old as I didn't go out nearly as much as I did last year. I guess that's because it was my freshers', and I'd only recently turned 18 at the time, so it was all quite exciting and new.

Sunday - Walkabout

Top - Charity shop

Skirt - River Island

Belt - Borrowed from my sister

Shoes - Irregular Choice

Earrings - Claire's

Bracelets - gifts

So this was the start of Freshers week. Sunday seems a weird day to go out, I don't remember it last year, but to be honest, I don't remember much from last years' Freshers .. oops ;D
When I bought this skirt in the River Island sale, it was out of stock in my size so I got one up, hoping that it would fit alright. But it was much too big, the skirt reached my knees, not the look I was going for. Luckily, it was pretty easy to alter, and I think it's the perfect length now, don't you?

Alex and I were going to meet our friend Soph and her roommates but by the time they headed out the queue was huge, so they went to Indi instead, so it was just us two partying on our own. However, we met people from our classes in there and made friends with the freshers, so we weren't strictly on our own. Good start to the week.

Thursday - Civic

Bralet - Forever 21

Skirt - H&M

Wedges - Hypnotic

Belt - Borrowed from my sister

Bracelet - Charity shop

Necklace - a gift

This night included a popcorn machine, bouncy castle, surf simulator, gladiator arena, sumo suit wrestling and some plonker from Geordie Shore. I did not take advantage of any of this 'attractions', but it was quite fun to watch others making fools of themselves :')

For this night, I had a power team of Alex, Aaron, Jack and a last minute appearance from Vikki. 

Oh yeah, and this is what I wore. Apologies that the first pic is a bit blurry and you can see my PJs and Jack's shorts.

So there you have it, I haven't got much to show you I'm afraid, I've been a boring old fart and only gone out twice this week. Have any of you guys been going out this week for Freshers? 

Enjoy your time at uni Freshers! Second and third years, welcome back ;D

A dreaded sunny day, so I meet you at the cemetery gates

I don't dread the sun, I just love The Smiths. And I couldn't think of a name for this post. Plus, Jack has been singing this song non-stop, literally, so it seemed appropriate enough.

How lucky are you guys, you get to see my milk-bottle legs again! I can't believe even the scorching sun of Cyprus couldn't give me a noticeable tan, I'm think I'm destined to be pale (but hopefully interesting) forever.

I don't wear this dress enough, but it really is one of my favourites. I don't care if it's supposed to be a going-out kind of dress, I'm going to wear it for a simple sunny day. So there ;) 

I do apoligise for the over-wear of these boots, but I just love them so much! You're likely to see them many many more times, but hopefully you like them as much as I do. When winter comes along, I will probably be wearing my cherry red genuine Docs too. Could they best the best kinda shoes ever? You be the judge :3

As I write this I'm not doing anything particularly interesting - just half-heartedly watching the X Factor and wrapping my argan-oil smothered hair up in a turbie towel. After watching a great video on here oils here, I decided to invest in a bottle for when my hair needs a deep conditioning. I'll will let you know what I think of it soon after a bit more use ☺

So yeah, not too exciting, but Freshers starts tomorrow, which means the party is just beginning. Okay, I'm not longer a fresher but that doesn't mean I can't act like one! My friend's boyfriend is starting at our uni this year, so I expect we'll be going out quite a lot, starting with tomorrrow night. I'll see if I can do a Freshers Week outfit post type- thing for you guys ☺

Hope you have a frantabulous weekend, inabit!
