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

Cyprus times - Week in outfits

Actually, I've kind of lied. It's not really a 'week in outfits'. It's kinda more of a 'random assortment of outfits'.

Unforntunately, I've been seriously unorganised and failed to keep track of daily outfits, so I'm not gonna be able to give you a day-by-day look, as some of the days are kinda missing, but I'll try and make this as coherent as possible :3

Day Time

Despite our pug face in the pic, I actually very happy. No really. So squinty - where were my sunnies?
Jack decided to stylishly hook them on his shirt, bold fashion choice, but perhaps not so practical. Anyways, this is me rocking my charity shop top (though who could tell?) and almost cheek offending shorts.  Luckily, they are just long enough to hide my buns. Woop.

Keeping it casual on our first day in Cyprus. The humidity made my hair go loco, so I tended to just tie it up in a bun, like sooo.

I'm totally working the windswept look here. However, there was not even a slight breeze in Cyprus, so I'm not exactly sure how I pulled that one off. Hmm. Wish I had a better picture, but these are my bloomer style river island shorts - perhaps my most comfy shorts ever - and my loose tee. Oh and FYI, my purse got a tan. I don't even ...

Evening Wear

This was our first evening in Cyprus and both Alex and I went for print maxis. This was the dress I was referring too by the way, the one that's way too exotic for Birmingham town :') 

Can you believe this top was £2.99 from a charity shop? Hidden gem or what. We both went for the maxi look on the evenings, 'cause it just felt more elegant :3 Check out Pons' silky crop. I love that colour.

Jack - dressed exactly the same as he does in England

I was totally thinking about doing a feature called what Jack's wearing - but I think it may get slightly boring as he is basically an outfit on repeat :'). He has about a million shirts in almost exactly the same colour and an endless supply of black tees. He's a stubborn one.

Swimwear

This swimsuit is from Kelly Brook's collection at New Look. I'd been on the lookout for a cossie with a little skirt and this one was perfect. 

I love this picture :') And this bikini. This was taken just before we took a little trip out on a pedalo :3

So sorry that I don't have much to show you, but hopefully you'll like what you see anyways ☺

And that's my Cyprus adventure, all neatly wrapped up :D
