it's people like you that make the world go 'round

monday cuddles with this bear

and just like that, my bad mood is no more. turns out going shopping really does help with "s.a.d" and i encourage all of you to brave the shops now because town wasn't as apocalyptic as it's been over the past few days (granted i've just been for two hours in 1 degree heat at 5pm but that's by the by). there were a few lovely things that happened during my session today which i want to share with you because it might instil you with some faith in the world. if you already have faith, what are you doing on this blog???!!?!

i'm wishing away every day that we're apart

thank you hoops & CJ xo

MONDAY, HERE YOU ARE AGAIN YOU LITTLE BITCH. every cloud mitch, every cloud. i only have one more monday left in work until i'm free for christmas and new year!!!!!!!!!!! a week of freedom never looked so appealing. saying that, a work favourite of mine came back today bearing gifts. and my work cougar even bought me christmas presents! getting excited for the holidays. but that's then and this is now so what better way to kill time? that's right - shopping!

if we're brave enough, we won't save it up for later

this brucey did it

i've eaten a whole cake today. not a little cake either. a 6 serving, 132% of my saturated fat kind of cake. as if i can justify that, i haven't eaten much in the past two days and still feel pretty shit. also, i fancied some cake. so i did it and you know what? i DON'T regret it. but there's only so much happiness that layers upon layers of voluptuous sponge, flawless buttercream and decadent marbled cocoa swirls can bring you. the rest comes down to shopping.

with nothing but your t-shirt on

we did it all! (stolen from k. wright) 

so these past few days have been emo central but i'm more than determined to find something positive in the mess that is my life right now. today, instead of doing my usual "god things are dire" piece, i decided to sort some fun and lovely things to do. namely, shop and eat which, as you'll know, are two of my favourite things of all time. i'm here today to tell you all about t-shirts and burgers and i don't know about you but that sounds like an ideal friday night to me.

i'm a grown (wo)man

but what's missing?

today is a big day for me. i've waited many years for this item to fit into the life i lead and it seems that finally, at 23, i've found the courage and confidence to seek one out and purchase it. those who know me well will be accustomed to the fact that whilst i love to dress up nice, i always lack this one staple item. that's down to the fact that none have ever seemed to fit my tiny, childlike frame. but thanks to the gem that is asos.com, i managed to find one. this iconic item which i'm talking about is, of course, a suit jacket.

and i am a material girl

why is buying stuff so much fun? whether i'm browsing a local charity shop or savagely searching for a sale top in zara, there's that rush. don't even get me started on internet shopping CHRIST ALIVE that's another kettle of fish. i know some people are savers but really, in the end, it gets spent on a house or a car or a holiday or some surgery. and right now, i am about as far from buying those things as humanly possible so, whilst i'm young and irresponsible, i too often think "oh fuck it, i need another black and white candle holder".
