Summer Ball OOTN!

Most uni's have a Summer Ball and my one is no different! It is every year in June and is a lot of fun. The uni gets famous acts to come and perform and they also have things like bumper cars, food, DJ's etc!

This year our headline act was Wiley but we also had The Hoosiers among others!

I wanted to buy a new dress instead of wearing an old one and here is the one that came to mind.....

It's the Topshop fringe dress by Rare London! It comes in a variety of colours such as pinks and creams but I had my heart set on this one!

Also seen on Leigh-Ann Pinnock from the band Little Mix

I've seen this dress range from £65.00 down to £25 and I managed to get mine for £20 from Ebay! Woohoo! (Someone bidded £8 for it but I told the seller I'd buy for £20 haha!)

Here's how it looked..

(Excuse the excessive posing lol!!) 

It is a decent length dress but as you walk it rides up which is why it looks so short in the last picture haha, the bust was slightly big so there was some pulling up involved (pulling up the dress and pulling it down...imagine! lol) but besides that I loved it and received lots of lovely compliments!

Hope you enjoyed this post!

God Bless

End of exams present...to me!

As the title suggests I bought myself some nail varnish to motivate/cheer me up in exam season! Only problem is I kiiiinda bought them before my exam instead of as a reward afterwards...oh well haha!

I looked on the interweb and found some cute polishes from Miss Sporty! I used to think of them as not very good quality and I haven't bought any from them since I was a lot younger but their new lines of polishes look gorgeous! I took myself down to Superdrug where they are currently selling them 3 for 2 (Woop Woop!) and here are the colours I chose...

Tangerine, glitter and a gorgeous Teal blue!

The pictures do not do the colours justice! They are so pretty! They also are extremely quick drying (minus the glitter one which takes slightly longer) and they have a wide brush which makes for an easy application!

Tangerine & Glitter lovely spring colour!

Once again these swatches really don't do the colours justice! 

Check out the Miss Sporty range online and in shops such as Boots and Superdrug...at only £1.99 each you cannot go wrong! 

I Might have to collect them all! haha

God Bless

How to not be (completely) broke at uni

(Note: talking to myself as much as anyone here haha!)

We've all been there, that blissful moment when the figure in your bank account reads higher than it's ever read in its entire time of being open and you get that text confirming......."Student.Loan.Has.Dropped"

You immediately think of all the possibilities! Louis Vuitton belts! Peruvian weaves! trips to raves across the country! Dominoes every single day of the week! enough Indomie noodles to make a yellow brick road to uni!!! The look on your face kind of resembles......

The options are endless!!.......or so you think......

Now it may seem weird me being a 1st year 2nd term student writing a 'guide' on how not to be broke but as my family can tell you i've been brokeeeeeee at uni and I have now seen the mountain tops and have gotten a smidge better ( it's progress :P lol!) just thought i'd share a few things that have helped me.

Tip 1: Remind your self how long the money needs to last for

It may be awesome going to every single gathering/party/restaurant trip that arises but you have to remind yourself if an event comes up at the end of the month YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT. Kind of blunt but true, why not hold movie nights indoors or go to some free entry events, that way you can go to the theme park trips and holidays away everyone talks about towards the end of the term! :)

Tip 2: Cook!!


Sounds crazy but it can be so easy to forget about having meals whilst at uni, there's so much to do and so many places to be that grabbing something fast for breakfast (if you remember to have it that is) will sustain you until the massive take away you have for dinner lol. All the take aways add up thus leaving your purse/wallet crying.
Cooking meals and taking lunches with you to uni is so much better because it may not save you time but will save you money in the long run. If you think...how much can you buy at Asda with that £15 which was just spent at Nando's lol. Make your own chicken and have the left overs for lunch :D  but please  remember to wash it :P

Tip 3: Save on transport


There are so many times when grabbing a cab can seem like the easiest option....and it probably is haha! Just think though the £6 to get to uni or town can easily be replaced by a £1.10 bus ride or a 30 minute walk :)
The only time I'd say getting a cab is the greatest option is after dark, saving money is not worth your safety <3

There's probably many more tips but the bottom line is basically think before you spend...do you really need TWO dresses in H&M? (Yes:P)....can I walk the journey I need to go?

                                                          Treat yourself but not too much ;)

                           
                                                                           God bless
                                                                              Nay :)
