I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day! I spent the day eating far too much, drinking far too many cocktails and falling asleep for a two hour nap after dinner. As it was just my mum and I this year it kind of felt like any other day but it was a nice day nonetheless. My main present, which is a record player, isn't coming until January but I was still spoilt with lots of gifts to open from under the tree.

Today, my family are coming round for dinner round two and probably a festive film or two.

I wore this outfit on Christmas eve to see some friends and catch up. Someone said my style reminded them of Jess from The New Girl which I took as a massive compliment.

Body: ASOS

Cardigan: Peacocks

Skirt: Swap with Jasmine

Boots: Urban Outfitters

Necklace: Etsy

I've held a package of Jasmine's clothing hostage since the beginning of summer. I admit it, I'm a clothing swap hog! I wore this skirt back when we first did the swap and I like how it lends itself to so many different colour combinations. I might even try and squeeze in one last outfit with it before I have to send it back along with the other stuff we swapped. 

I wore this outfit for a hectic Monday where I had a million and one things to do including a meeting at uni, a few hours in the library reading up on philosophy, a casting and a visit to the local history library to look for some photos. I like how busy I've been lately but it does tend to catch up eventually and tonight is the night. I feel completely drained and like I just need to have an early night with no reading, no stress and no film screenings. I've been catching a screening most days for the film festival so tonight I decided to stay home and recuperate.

What do you do when you're feeling run down?

I don't know what's wrong with my sleeping pattern recently but ever since I've gotten poorly, I've been sleeping a ridiculous amount of hours. I overslept the morning of these photos when I had two important meetings at university. I managed to reschedule one and get ready in half an hour (including a shower!) for the second meeting. That's a personal best.

Luckily, I had picked this outfit out the night before. It ticks the box of one of my main two styles, school girl or granny. This one is clearly more school uniform-esque. 

I don't know if I've written about it before but I've managed to get struck down with a horrid flu-type thing where my sinuses feel like they're about to fall out of my face amongst other such pleasant things. I'm slightly on the mend now, after infecting everyone around me and I couldn't be feeling in a better mood for the next few days.

What are your weekend plans?

To explain my absence from the blog world, I had a bit of a laptop meltdown. Quite literally. The fan in my laptop broke which could lead to the insides melting but when I took it in to be fixed, they found out it was a hard drive issue rather than the fan itself. The perils of being a mac user come when they break because macbook repairs aren't cheap AT ALL! 

However, since it was over three years old it seemed uneconomical to spend a huge chunk of money getting it fixed so I decided to invest in a brand new Macbook Pro, which I am now writing this post on. He is called Ernest after the beautiful Ernest Greene of Washed Out fame and I'm a big fan of his chrome-y ways already.

Anyway, this is the last outfit post before I unveil my new haircut. Drumroll please!

This outfit started out as something entirely different but then I woke up half an hour before I had to leave for uni and the original plan didn't quite look right so this is what happened. I get an American college vibe from this outfit but that's probably just me. I've been working on my essays these past few weeks and today I realised my schedule has me finish them a week earlier than I realised. It was a relief to realise I'll have some time before term ends to de-stress but as is always the way with me, that'll be the time everyone else is stressed out with work.

Just a short one today, some stuff has put me in an awful mood so I'm going to cook some pesto pasta, smother it in cheese and everything will be alright again!
