Deadline!

Oh no! I totally spaced on one part of my Master's degree application - I was supposed to hand in my MA thesis along with my grades list, ops - the deadline is tomorrow so I've been working away today. I've decided that my thesis topic will be fashion and literature of the Romantic period and the Victorian era. I think that could be fun. Anyways, I'm kind of bummed out that I have to wake up early and go to uni in the morning and queue to see my academic clerk and then go over to our branch's office to hand in all the documents. What a drag! I had planned on taking photos for the blog today but obviously, I was short on time so that didn't happened. Instead I'll show you a photo of what I had for lunch, because it was very tasty and also very healthy.

The Veggie salad: contains cucumber, cherry tomatoes, a mix of salads, arugula, pine nuts, balsamic and some olive oil. Basically you just wash everything and then chop it up and voila, it's done. I'm thinking of starting a cooking blog but more on that some other time. Oh I have one more recipe I want to share. I found this online and am dying to try it:

The alternative to fries:

Instructions: cut a sweet potato almost all the way through, drizzle with olive oil (or butter), add some sea salt and pepper over the top. Then bake at 220°C (425°F) for about 40 minutes. Looks pretty good right?

Snow Digging

Hey guys, this will be a quick little post as I'm just taking a break from studying (it is not going well, I can't seem to concentrate). The majority of these photos are from this morning while I was out walking Dracul. He was fascinated by the snow and wanted to dig in it, but at the same time he was cold and didn't want to be outside. What can I say, it's a pig problem.

Shoes saved: F&F snow boots bought two years ago?

Wearing: Zara TRF coat, swamped tee/tunic, F&F legging style pants, pig walking bag

It's day two of the lipstick challenge so I'm still wearing my favorite, 112 "Pink Lemonade" lipstick by L'Oreal, but I added a coat of Maybelline Color sensational Popsticks in 070 "Orange Crush". You can't really tell much of a difference as the Maybelline goes on almost clear, I was just playing around with it. I used my Blink eyeliner by BarryM again (well first I tried to use Rimmel's scandalous eyes eyeliner but that didn't work at all - I usually like Rimmel products but this one is really crap).

Back to the shoes. I actually saved these a few days ago but only had one picture that I posted on my instagram and the photo wasn't even very nice, so I decided to re-save them. This way Mr. Pig got to be a guest star.

 In other news, I created a new blog and it's dedicated to food and healthy cooking. I haven't posted anything yet but I'm planning to start as soon as my exams are through. I need to start eating healthier and I thought this would be the perfect way to do so. Here's yesterday's dinner as a teaser for the blog to come - cherry tomatoes, carrot, cucumber, sunflower seed bread roll and hummus. So delicious and very filling as well. I have to go now but hopefully I'll get at least one pair of shoes saved during the weekend so I'll have something to post before the big exam on Thursday. I'm already so nervous, please wish me the best of luck. See you soon, mwah.

Juicy Gummies

First off, I no longer have this hair color. Yesterday I visited my hairdresser and after ages (4 and a half hours to be exact) we were done. I'm now way more blonde. I'm actually not that pleased with the results but that's for a different post.This post will be about last week and some shoe saving.

After half a day at work I met up with my bestie and we went shopping, well more like window shopping, as neither one of us bought anything. Then we went to my flat and she had a latte (my sis got me suuuuuuch an awesome Christmas gift) and read Elle magazine while I walked the pig and then later we had pink champagne and gossiped. Was a great night. Then M and I walked her to the bus stop and then we bought more champagne (but the store ran out of pink, boo) and these perfect fruity sour sweets called Juicy Gummies or something like that. I love them because they aren't made from gelatin but from fruit. You'd be surprised how many sweets are made from gelatin - I'm not a complete vegetarian (I eat fish and sea food and once in a while chicken) but ick, gelatin just seems so gross. Anyways, back to the shoes saved and the clothes, yeah?

Shoes saved: Asos creepers in grey

Wearing: Zara Woman winter coat, Pull & Bear overall playsuit, some top, Pull&Bear black sweater, red pashmina

 I love this playsuit - it's super comfy and I think it's cute too. It can be a bit difficult to think up of what to pair it with but I think it works best with a tight top and a neutral (black) sweater. Oh and tights! I love a short shorts and opaque tights look so obviously I love a playsuit with some tights too. This post is more photo heavy than usually since I couldn't withhold these epic photos of me taking off my hair band. So much action. Plus they show off that playsuit so well. Eh, whatever.

And since I brought up the topic of food  and what I eat and don't eat, well, I have to mention the dinner M and I made over the weekend. Best. Food. Ever. Introducing spinach spaghetti with Parmesan cheese and cheery tomatoes and home made pesto. Oh my goodness, it was this good! I could honestly eat this all the time. 

 

I'm off to try to study write an essay okay okay watch project runway all stars. I'm quite excited as I have been rooting for Elena for ages and she's in the finale!! See you tomorrow with some more shoes, bye!
