We're gonna party like its...2011

Happy New Year!!

Hope 2010 treated you all well, & i hope 2011 does too :)
I saw in the new year surrounded by some of my very best friends at a Willy Wonka themed club night. I met Willy Wonka & partied til i could party no more (until my boyfriend had to physically lift me up and remove me from the dancefloor!)
What I wore...

A very old dress from New Look!
I scoured two different major shopping locations in the run up to NYE for a simple little black dress with straps, but alas, I found nothing that matched my very basic criteria so I settled for this.
This may come as a shock to some of you but I am looking forward to seeing the end of the January sales and shops returning to some form of normality, with full priced items clearly organised together on their rails and not masses of mismatched items bundled together on rails/the floor making it impossible to find anything.
Not to mention seeing the end of this craze for one shouldered dresses..that is not to say I havnt purchased one or two but I am looking forward to dresses with two straps regaining their popularity in 2011!

that bitch has everything"

Allow me to introduce

Just a few things that make my world go round:

My boy! He got excited for me when I saw Marvin from JLS because he knows how much it meant to me, wrote me a love letter from Prague and made me a Husky dog wearing a Liverpool shirt from the Build a Bear shop because Huskies are my favourite and Liverpools my team. Needless to say the bear is called Fernando. Lovelovelove.

My woofs

My furry partner in crime Mollycat

Cant live with them, cant live without them <3

Happy Sunday

Nothing like a session of Googling the men who have made me swoon in 2010. I give you my 2010 Celebrity Hot List:

Fernando goes without saying

Enrique..amazing. I'm seeing a pattern emerging of love for Spanish men..

Always amazes me that Charles Bartholomew aka Chuck Bass is from my neck of the woods. He should have stayed here, and possibly married me.

Hot voice. Hot face. Hot body. Marvin from JLS is just ridiculously hot.

If I had a pound for everytime I say 'I bloody love Dermot' during an episode of x factor id be a millionaire, easily. I bloody love Dermot.

They are about 6 years too young but oh so handsome! Good old One Direction.

Which celebrity men are gracing your 2010 Hot List?

Santa baby, hurry down the chimney tonight

Last night I went to the boyfriends work Christmas party. It was festive fancy dress, so I decided to be incredibly original and go as...santa.
I wore:

To be honest I completely ripped off my Halloween devil costume, and added black M&S tights, my Miss Selfridge high heeled boots, and a furry santa hat, accessorised with some tinsel. Ho ho ho.

Many a malibu and orange was consumed so needless to say I am feeling a little worse for wear today!

Invitations went out yesterday for my works Christmas do, and I got the inevitable email - 'what are you going to wear?' which sent me in to a massive panic because I've only been to after-work drinks with my collegues where I just wore what id worn to the office...No idea what to wear to the Christmas party! Does anyone have their festive outfits planned yet?

You only live once...

I want to look back on my life and be happy in the knowledge that I did everything that I wanted to do, and lived life to the full. Very often I don't live life to the full for whatever reason..but then I think about my two favourite sayings.
You only live once
&
Life's too short.

Both so true. At the end of the day your life is yours, and you shouldnt let anybody else dictate how you live it. Reach for the stars, achieve everything you want to achieve, see everything you want to see and do everything you want to do.

I lost a uni friend of mine recently to a car accident in Thailand. He used to throw stones at my window until he'd convince me to come out and chill out on the field in the sun with him. He was never without a smile on his face, always happy, always making other people happy. He was 23 and far too young to have his life taken away from him. He was a classic example of someone who lived their life to the full.
RIP Mike - you're an inspiration :)

Yesterday was a proud day.
My friend Alan graduated from the RAF (with an award for outstanding perfomance, no less!)

We braved the sub-zero temperatures and watched him and his Flight march in a Passing Out parade along to the sounds of a marching band. Such a fun and proud day. Congrats Alan!
