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.

being a thrill seeker.


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!
