Recent Purchases: Topshop, ASOS, Primark & More!

I cannot believe this is the first post I've written in 7 weeks, it seems like I've been gone ages (which I have I guess) and I do have several reasons for my absence, there are three reasons to be precise. One, I had major surgery on my mouth and it's taken 4 weeks to recover, two, I have a new job and three, I have been mega busy with makeup jobs. The past 7 weeks have been crazy but everything seems to be settling down and I'm now in a routine meaning I'm able to plan my time. So now I can go to work, make my clients fancy and also blog/YouTube at the same time. Since I haven't done any posts for 7 weeks I didn't know what to write first so I thought I'd do a haul, everyone loves a haul right! 

If you'd like to see all the things I've accumulated over the past 7 weeks, keep on scrolling!

Wishlist: August 2013 - Clothes, Shoes & Accessories

If you follow my blog then you'll know that I haven't posted for a while and I'm going to explain where I've been. 

The reason why I've been absent from blogging/YouTube is because of my pesky wisdom tooth,  I'd been having trouble with my wisdom tooth for about a year and a half and this was mainly due to it growing horizontally rather than vertically, it was also growing into the nerve within my jaw. I kept getting infections in it (one every 2 months to be precise) and it was also causing mammoth ulcers on the side of my tongue. Anyway, 3 weeks ago I developed a severe infection underneath my wisdom tooth (possibly the worst infection I'd ever had) and unfortunately the infection didn't surface meaning I was referred for an emergency extraction. One week later I had an appointment with a surgeon and to cut a long story short I ended up having my top wisdom tooth and bottom horizontal wisdom tooth removed. The removal of the bottom wisdom tooth involved having a million injections in my mouth, slitting my gum, drilling into my jaw and having a lot of stitches, this was all done whilst I was awake. After the procedure I was told my face would swell, bruise and it would generally feel awful and the surgeon was spot on with that as I've been in agony for a week and I'm STILL in agony. 

Since I haven't posted I thought I'd write a little update and write a simple post that I thought you'd all enjoy. I'd also like to say that just because I've written this post, it doesn't mean I'm 'back', it's just an update. As soon as I'm 100% better I'll let you know and frequent posts and videos will commence. 

So now I've waffled on about my horrendous tooth experience, I'm now going to show you pretty clothes, shoes and accessories that I'd quite like to own.

Where To Buy:

1. American Apparel - Medium Wash High-Waist Jean - £75.00

2. Topshop - Strappy V-Neck Cami - £18.00

3. New Look - Neon Yellow Double Layer Cami - £14.99

4. Topshop - Lime Double Layer Tube Skirt - £20.00

5. ASOS - Swing Dress In Mono Daisy Print - £28.00

6. ASOS - Glamorous Swing Dress - £22.00

7. Topshop - Cream Chain Necklace - £12.50

8. River Island - Silver Chain Necklace - £8.99

9. Sugar & Vice - Rainbow Unicorn Necklace - £17.00

10. New Look - Black Double Buckle Ankle Boots - £69.99

11. River Island - Brown Strap Ankle Boots - £60.00

I think the majority of my autumn wardrobe will consist of swing dresses, smock dresses, cami's, mom jeans and a trillion pairs of peg leg trousers. I also think I'll end up owning more chains than Flavour Flav. 

I know for a fact I'll be purchasing the floral swing dress and the grey swing dress as these are pieces that can be worn all year round. Mamma is also going to buy the floral swing dress so if you'd like a fashion video featuring the both of us, comment below. The lime tube skirt is also something I'll be purchasing as it's a piece you can either dress up or dress down and it's also lime and I'm LOVING lime at the moment. 

These are the things I've been lusting after, what have you currently got your eye on?

Thanks for reading and I'll be back soon!

Much love,

My Graduation

As some of you may know, today I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a Bsc Honours Degree in Food and Nutrition. I had a lovely day with my family and it was so lovely to graduate with my Boyfriend. As I had such a great day, I thought I'd share some snaps with you but before that I'm going to waffle a little. 

The past three years have been very hard for me and if you watch this video, you'll find out why. Not only that but I was assaulted at University, let down by numerous lecturers and wasn't given the support I needed, if truth be told, my time at University wasn't great. I disliked every moment of University so much so I didn't want to attend my graduation because I thought it would be a reminder of the bad times but with persuasion and words of wisdom from my Mamma and Grandma, I decided to go and I have to admit, I'm so glad I did. 

Today I felt proud, not proud of the fact I got a great degree but for the fact I actually completed University because I honestly didn't think I would, it's taken blood, sweat and tears to complete my degree but I did it. With strength and determination, I did it. I'd also like to thank my beautiful Mamma because I honestly couldn't have done it without her, my Mamma is my rock and I'm lucky to have her <3 

I got my degree and I'm proud to have it. 

Today was amazing, and I absolutely loved the fact I graduated with my Boyfriend (Adam). So without further ado, here are some snaps of our day.

I also received a huge bunch of beautiful flowers and a really cool graduation pack off my Mamma this morning, how lovely! 

I hope you liked looking at these pictures and if you're Graduating this week or next, congratulations and good luck! 

Much love,

Cole
