Spending a long weekend in Bristol, I've got to work next saturday so I get monday off which is bliss... it means I wont feel too bad about spending the whole of tomorrow in bed after tonight. I'm off to the Rusko album launch at Motion and I can't wait, the line-up is too amazing and it feels like forever since I've been to Motion; in reality it's only been two months but it feels like such a long time aha.

I've been booking up all my festivals for the year recently (love saves the day, beach break, global gathering & outlook so far), not sure if any of you are going to any festivals but if you plan on going to beach break, please buy your ticket through my link  here, I'm a rep this year :) they're putting on a hospital records night- how good?! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend in the sun.

Random outfit post, my friend bought me this tee for my birthday, it's from Primark in the mens section and when he gave it to me his words were 'if you don't like it, I don't mind having it!' I love it, it's pretty similar to some of the mens My Yard collection at the moment- a significantly cheaper version at that. I teamed it with my faux leather skirt from H&M, Primark beenie and ring, pendant from Peaches and Nothing, my mini casio and shirt from a charity shop. You'll have to excuse the lack of face in these photos I was off to an aqua sana to have 3 hours of pampering and steaming so wasn't wearing any make-up therefore looked rough as.

New years was amazing, a friend gave us backstage passes at Motion and I spent my whole night chatting to High Contrast! He's a lovely guy and an amazing DJ with a new album on the horizon so keep your ears out for that- also ended the night dancing on the stage in front of hundreds, seemed like a good idea at the time, looking back it probably wasn't! Ha. Hope you all had a great new years eve :)

I'm not at work this week, taken a few days off to write my dissertation proposal ergh. So I'm currently being a nerd in the library, I've forgotten how to write essays it's been that long!

Broken Promises

What a weekend, Friday I went to Motion (shock I know!) for RUN012 which starred the likes of Rusko, Andy C, Scratch Perverts and Gemini all of which were amazing, definitely a line-up to shout about... best Motion night so far? Hmm I seem to say that every time aha, they just keep getting better.

Saturday was one of my best friends 21sts, she had a house party which again was soo much fun, a couple of us chipped in for her presents and got one of the lovely necklaces from Peaches and Nothing (which she absolutely loved) and a couple of pieces from Motel including these Pamela Mann Vertical Stripe Tights which I had to buy for myself as well, they're just so cool.

Thought my tattoo looked quite cool underneath my tights too so I thought I'd share :)

I booked Monday off as holiday for recovery/ a Bristol shopping spree- coming up to Christmas Cabot is always ridiculously busy on a Saturday and I just can't cope with it! I successfully managed to blow the rest of my months wages but I did get two gorgeous dresses for some formal events I have coming up... keep your eyes peeled. Bristol looked so Christmassy with the winter market and all the decorations up, I'm usually a grinch when it comes to Christmas- (I've worked Christmas Day the last 4 years!!) But this year I'm excited and feeling rather festive.

In other news I've lost my voice, I clearly can't cope with two nights out in a row and I've gone all husky. So today I was working in London greeting customers at an event whilst sounding like a man, early to bed for me tonight I think! Also I've come to the conclusion I have to go to London for an non-work-related reason, I honestly don't know why I haven't been yet.

Revealing

I got to see Annie Mac this weekend for freeeeee :) it was really good, I only stayed for a few hours to watch her set which didn't fail to impress as per. I really wanted to see Emalkay but his set was on at 5am and I just couldn't stay up!!

I went out in Bath on Saturday night for my friend's birthday, it was really fun- we went to Porter Bar which is a little chilled indie bar and I managed to spend no money, which is well good. I was shattered this morning but got dragged out of bed for breakfast at a cute little cafe, there were 20 of us looking pretty intimidating (tattoos galore) waiting at the door for it to open. I think the owner got quite a shock aha.

So my outfit from Saturday night is a tad revealing but in my defence it's not actually mine, it's my friend's sisters and she wants it back soon so I was running out of time to wear it and just went for it!!

November's Most Wanted

I can't believe how many comments and new followers I've had this week, thank you so much :)

This week's been pretty busy, worked at the UWE careers fair yesterday which was really fun- I literally talked my way through the whole 6 hours; explaining the placement and grad schemes HP offer. It's left me pretty motivated about my job and actually really looking forward to the next few weeks at work!

I'm in Bristol tonight to see some fireworks (cannot believe we're in November already?!) and possibly Annie Mac at Motion... which would be amazing because I love love love Toddla T and he's there. Then off to Bath tomorrow for my friend's birthday; another great weekend lined up.

Last month all I could think about was how much I wanted some new jewellery, here's my wishlist for November:

1. Robot/Bike Pendant- £8 - Peaches and Nothing  // 2/3. Clock Pendants- £8 - Peaches and Nothing // 4. 'Deer Me' Ring- £6 - Dixi // 5. Square Chunky Ring- £5 - Topshop // 6. Oblong Stone Ring- £7 - Topshop // 7. Enamel Bug Ring- £3.99 - New Look // 8. Love Rocks Gold & Topaz Owl- £20 - ASOS // 9. House of Harlow 1960 Antiqued Arrow Ring- £57 - ASOS  // 10. Double Finger Cross Ring- £8 - ASOS // 11. Pieces Elin Double Finger Ring- £7 - ASOS // 12. Metal Moustache Ring- £8 - ASOS

Now I know some of these aren't exactly in price range but it doesn't stop them from being extremely cool! Definitely buying one of the pendants from Peaches and Nothing, they're lovely and soo cheap, just can't decide which one is my favourite I'm eyeing up the robot. So original!!

Double Denim

It was my friend's 21st this weekend so I went to Bristol again. I went into Cabot Circus to do some shopping and wow it was busy! Christmas shopping has truly begun... and Christmas songs are playing on the radio! It's crazy. Topshop had a huge sale on and I just couldn't resist- I managed to snap up a really cute dress for £10, such a bargain and perfect for another 21st I have coming up :)

Saturday night pre-drinks were at my old house which was really fun... as soon as I got there I made myself at home, kind of forgot I don't live there any more! My night ended up at Motion for Fwd & Rinse and I wore double denim for the first time- didn't think I could pull it off but I gave it a go!

Hospitality

I've recently moved to Reading to do a placement as part of my uni course, I really like my job but I miss Bristol soo much, especially now all the students are back... although doing a placement does mean I get another year of being a student which is definitely not a bad thing!

So you'll notice I'm in Bristol at every chance I get- this weekend was Hospitality at Motion - the first of the In:Motion series. As usual the line-up was amazing and as an added bonus Camo and Krooked launched their new album Cross The Line, it's already probably my favourite album ever! There's not one song I don't like and it's constantly on repeat at home and in the car. My friend Melissa came to Bristol with me and loved it, although we both some how managed to miss Danny Byrd and we've wanted to see him for ages! Ah well... it just gives us an excuse to go to the next one :)

I thought I'd add an outfit post from this night-

Top: Topshop

Shorts: Topshop

Belt: Vintage

Bracelets: Vintage/ Custom-made

Mini Casio: ASOS

I also painted my nails a 'galaxy' design and they actually look OK in the pictures but they looked pretty awful close up- think I need to practice more.

I'll end this post by telling you to check out the autumn line-up for Motion they have some incredible nights on and are well worth the money.
