Hello July

June has been pretty amazing.

Not only was it my birthday month - which meant lots of cake, celebrations and a quick trip home to see my family - I also completed a two-week work placement at a local TV station, which while hard work, was a fantastic experience and resulted in me landing an internship for my final year at university!!!

Ending the month on a high feels good and I'm now ready to take on July with hopes that the positivity will continue.

Soon it will be time to pack up my belongings and head home for the summer months before returning to Nottingham in October when the hard work will commence *eek*

Here's what I've been up to the past month...

My birthday

Another year older, another year wiser... so they say!

Last Saturday (June 4) was my birthday and I spent the weekend celebrating with friends and family, and having a fabulous time.

My mum, sister and best friend travelled to Nottingham for the day, and then us girls headed out in the evening to party hard before catching a train back the following morning feeling slightly worse for wear.

I spent a few days chilling back in Northampton, enjoying the sunny weather, eating lots of yummy food and catching up with my dad which was lovely.

Now it's back to reality and the depressing realisation that I'm a whole year older (boo hoo!) but I'm aiming to make the most of the next 12 months and instead celebrate the fact I've lived for another year!

Beautiful cards, gifts and birthday cookie!

Hello February

January seems to have lasted forever and Christmas is now a distant blur.

I've been extremely busy revising for exams and trying my best to avoid the January blues (although I've only just stopped mourning the end of Christmas).

Due to the work load I haven't been able to post on the blog as much as I'd have liked, but hopefully that will soon change and regular posting will resume once again.

Following Christmas I've enjoyed getting back into a healthy routine, as well as a few cheeky dinner/cocktail dates thrown in for good measure ;-) 

I am most definitely looking forward to my two-week break so I can relax, chill and recover from my PET (Post Exam Trauma).

What have you been up to? Any exciting plans for February?

Girls night out

What girl doesn't love a fun night out with her best friends? 

Music, makeup, drinks and dancing are all essential ingredients for a great night out, but every girl knows the best part of the evening is getting ready.

Sometimes finding that perfect outfit that makes you look and feel gorgeous can be a challenge - and what should seemingly be an enjoyable task becomes so stressful. 

Ever feel like you have a wardrobe full of clothes and still have nothing to wear? Me too!

That's when you know it's time to grab your girlfriends and hit the shops...

Dress - Clutch - Lipstick - Lashes - Bracelet - Shoes

My favourite look for a night out is a chic LBD teamed with some killer heels and lots of hot accessories.

This DailyLook Scuba dress is perfect for those summer nights out and evening cocktails in the city.  

The best thing about a little black dress is it goes with anything - so the colours for the rest of your outfit are completely up to you!

I love to team black with nude pink as for me they make the perfect pair and are great for summer. Pretty accessories give the outfit a touch of sparkle and a hot pink lip adds that extra bit of evening glamour.

How do you like to dress up an LBD? Do you have a favourite outfit for a girls night out?
