currently coveting #1

1. Topshop scalloped vest - £15
I know that pretty much everyone has a vest like this, but I love them. I really like the mint colour of this one too - reminds me of mint choc chip ice cream!

2. New Look slippers - £15.99
I need a new pair of black shoes, as my current ones are about to give up the ghost. I really like these ones, and the price isn't too bad either. I think they'll look better without tights/socks, so perfect for spring. I just hope they aren't shoes that rub too much!

3. Hollister "Ocean Beach" Bikini - £40
Pretty pricey bikini, but I love it. I think with some saving, I may be wearing this around the pool or on the beach in Portugal this summer.

4. Topshop "Forget Me Not" Nail Varnish - £4
I don't own any of Topshop's nail varnishes, but I have only ever heard good things about them. I love the wide range of colours that they come in, but this one is my favourite.

5. H&M Blouse - £7.99
I really like pastel colours at the moment, and this blouse is no exception. I like the way it is bright, without being too in your face, and I like the way that it is longer than normal sleeveless shirts, as with being tall, I always seem to be pulling tops down or having to get a bigger size, which doesn't fit me as well.

6. Miss Selfridge Striped Denim Shorts - £26
Denim shorts are my favourite summer wardrobe staple, and I really like these ones. They'd look good on holiday, aswell as back home with tights.

Yesterday I went to Alton Towers as my last ever school trip. Despite the early morning, and my friend loosing his wallet, I had such a great day. It was busier than I expected, but even still, the longest we queued was about 40 mins. The weather was nice, which was an added bonus too. Went on pretty much all the rides, and my fave ride was Nemesis, which seemed faster than usual. I was a little bit disappointed with the new ride, even if it was terrifying. I got drenched on Ripsaw, and my friend got even wetter on the rapids (after boasting that she was the only one that was dry, a massive wave came over and soaked her. So funny!) and again on the Flume. I was buzzing when I got home, but absolutely shattered after an awesome day!

what jo did #1

one. Today I finished school for the easter holidays. Meant to finish tomorrow, but we're going on an extra special school trip which I shall tell you about next. Anyway, I'm looking forward to easter, even if I do have a tonne of work to do. I'm planning on getting fit for summer, so hopefully the weather stays nice, so I can do some bike riding.

two. Because we've not got long left in school before we leave (scary stuff!), tomorrow we are being treated to a day at Alton Towers! I've been mega excited about it all week, and now I can't wait. I want to see whether the rumours about the new ride are true, and hopefully the queues aren't to big, but it's going to be a really good day!

three. Last week, I went to Sheffield to have a look around the uni. I've applied to do Biomedical Science, and was planning on putting Sheffield as my first choice, only if I liked it. I loved the place, I loved the course, so I definitely want to go there in September. Talking of finishing school and going to uni is really frightening, like it's forcing me to grow up. Maybe Peter Pan might pay me a visit and take me to Neverland!

four. I've been enjoying the independence of driving by myself, even if it is a bit daunting. It's really weird driving alone with no-one next to me, and I find myself thinking out aloud. Last Friday, I had a motorway lesson with my driving instructor which was petrifying, but I enjoyed it, even if some other drivers are ruthless!

penny-farthing.

top: Forever 21

cardigan: New Look

skirt: Miss Selfridge

tights: Primark

This is what I wore this afternoon. I bought the top in New York (Forever 21 in Times Square is absolutely amazing! Could have bought the whole shop!) and its lovely. I really like the Penny-farthing pattern on it. Teamed it with a simple black skirt, and my favourite red cardi, and I'm good to go.

Happy Mothers Day to my amazing mum! I know it sounds cliché, but my mum means the world to me, and I love her to pieces. She spoils me rotten, does literally everything for me, and I don't know where I would be without her. The tables have been turned today and I've spoiled her for a change. I bought her a bunch of flowers, and took her out for lunch this afternoon. We both had roast beef with all the trimmings, and they came with giant homemade yorkshire puddings - yummy! Had such a lovely afternoon.

eight minors.

Today, I passed my driving test! It was my second attempt (nearly knocked someone over on my first test - whoops!) and I honestly believed that I was going to fail from the moment I got into the car, so I'm absolutely made up!!

As you can probably guess from the title, I got 8 minor faults. I could of and have drove better, but I was so nervous, so I'm not surprised. I'm just so happy to have passed and can't wait to get on the road with my new found freedom!

catch up!

Someone's been a naughty blogger. Sorry for a lack of updates since my birthday, but I've been mega busy.

one. School. Surprise surprise, school has taken up a lot of my time. I've had my practical exams in Chemistry and Biology, which went ok, but I hate doing them. The grade boundaries are ridiculous, so doing well in them is pretty much impossible. Going to do the other lot though, which are easier to do better in, so fingers crossed. I've also been busy doing my EPQ, which is taking up a lot of my time at the moment! Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end.

two. Got the results of my January exams on Thursday, and I am actually over the moon. Luckily all my hard work paid off and I got 4A's and 3B's. I wont have any resits in the summer either, so I'll only have 3 exams, which will be helpful as there is so much to learn!!

three. Been to Keele University today for an Open day. Keele's my insurance choice, and I was quite impressed. The halls were a little outdated, and unfortunately we weren't allowed to see the labs, but I was impressed with everything else. The campus and surrounding areas are also pretty and peaceful.

four. Done a little update of my layout. I was getting a bit bored of the spots, so I went for something a lot simpler, and I like it. I hope you do too.
