Elusiveness: Explained!

Evening all!

As some of you may have noticed, I have been rather elusive on the blog front this week.  So firstly, allow me to apologise!  I have a lot of exciting blog posts and reviews planned, yet things keep getting in the way, but I hope to be back and blogging properly as of tomorrow.

My absence was mainly caused by one thing in particular – work!  All kinds of work.  I work at a university, and after three weeks off over Easter I started back on Monday, and needless to say it got very busy, very quickly.  On top of that, I have been planning an essay for my postgraduate degree, and of course I have also been researching for my dreaded dissertation!  As I’m sure you can imagine, that takes a lot of effort and can cause a lot of stress, and has been taking up a lot of my time.  However, amongst all the work, I managed to find the time to be more social than usual this week.  I ended up going out for drinks one night, to a pub quiz another and out for a meal and a catch-up with some friends, all within four days.

Perhaps the biggest development comes in the shape of my bedroom.  Since starting my blog it has got gradually more and more cluttered with beauty and fashion products, so I decided it would be appropriate to give it a complete overhaul – why I chose this week I’ll never know!  I’ve ended up chucking a lot of old clothes away to make room for new stuff, I have brand spanking new storage for all my make up and toiletries (YAY), and my walls are being redecorated with a gorgeous floral print wallpaper.  One of the main reasons for this change though is that I have decided to start keeping rats again.  I used to have rats when I was younger, but over the past few years I have been sans rodents, and to be honest I missed them!  So, when everything is sorted (hopefully next weekend) I will be bringing home two new little girl rats, and I am VERY excited.  Expect a photo heavy post when my mission is complete!

There you go – my elusiveness explained, and hopefully that will be the end of it!  Keep an eye out for a new review coming tomorrow.

What I Wore: Monochrome Bar Stripes

Happy Easter everyone!  I hope you’re all enjoying the bank holiday.  Yesterday was my friend’s birthday, and to celebrate a small group of us went for a Mexican meal before going to one of my favourite bars in town.  For some reason I struggled to find something to wear, so I decided to keep it simple with smokey eyes, nude lips, monochrome stripes, a few stackable bracelets and one of my favourite necklaces that I don’t wear often enough.  Considering it was a last minute job, I was pretty pleased with last night’s look, and here it is…

What I Wore: Birthday Celebration with Friends

Next Thursday (Valentine’s Day) is my birthday, and yesterday I went out with four of my closest friends for an early celebration meal.  We went to Prezzo for pizza and cheesecake, and had a good old natter, as we always do!  I decided to dress down for the evening as we weren’t doing anything too fancy, but I managed to combine polka dots, skulls and bright lips – three of my favourite things!

This is the make up look I went for (apologies for the badly lit photos!)…
