Exam Stress

Hey everyone!

So it's that time of year where we're all stressing about exams, and I'll tell you now that A levels may possibly be the death of me. From doing my GCSE's last year, I swear my motivation to do anything has gone down hill. I'll try to revise for half an hour and before I know it, I'll be watching a video on YouTube, or I'll want to watch something on TV, or I'll suddenly have the urge to eat. It's shocking! Even now, when I should be revising, I'm writing a blog post! Please don't say I'm the only one who does this...

Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that we shouldn't stress about exams, because they are not the be all and end all. A grade on a piece of paper does not show how great a person you are. I think it's so sad that our generation are left to feel that if they don't get good grades then they are going to fail in life. Yeah, grades can open doors and get you into university, but there's no reason to say you can't have an amazing life without those things. At the moment, I'm not sure if I even want to go to university yet! It scares me thinking about it to be honest.

My advice to anyone reading this (and myself) is to stay calm, don't stress and try your best with the exams - it's all any of us can do!

Maybe I should get on with at least a little bit of revision now... but there is more to life than those letters on a piece of paper!

Speak soon!

Cute Christmas Cocktail Outfit

Hey everyone! We're half way through December and guess what? It's Christmas soon!! Am I the only one who feels this year has just flown? Anyway, since turning the big 18, I've been out a fair bit getting myself into the Christmas spirit! So I guess I thought I'd share with you one of my 'going out for cocktails' outfits... Faux Fur Boxy Gilet - Topshop  £65 Long Sleeved Turtle Neck - New Look £15 Leather Shorts - Zara  £20  Stone Contrast Faux Fur Bar Top Bag - New Look  £19.99 Necklace - A Mystery... This beautiful fur gilet is perfect for keeping me cosy and toasty in this freezing December weather! I bought it last year in petites as I preferred the more cropped fit. I couldn't resist buying this adorable little fur bag to match the cream fur; it's surprisingly spacious too! Teamed with black leather shorts and a pastel turtle neck, I feel it's a good cute yet edgy combo (ahah!). I thought this pretty pearly necklace...

Tacky Teddies?

Hey everyone! Is it just me, or has Valentine's Day become some sort of massive hype this year? It's so much more of a bigger thing than it used to be (okay I sound like an old woman right now), but why do we all make such a big deal out of it? I think when you're single, you realise how much lovey dovey shizzle there is everywhere, but it just makes me think; why on earth would you spend so much money on some cheap tacky teddy bear when you could buy a beautiful bag... or dress... or even just a tasty box of chocolates for your girlfriend?! By the way guys, I am not against Valentine's Day whatsoever. I'm all for sending cards and sharing the love... however I will never be a lover of the tacky teddies. Speak soon! Alex x

Jumping into my 18th in a Jumpsuit!

Hey everyone! So last weekend it was my 18th birthday (woop woop!), so I wanted to wear something sassy. Browsing through the Topshop website, a beautiful black jumpsuit caught my eye. I wasn't sure I'd pull it off, but I was too in love with it to not buy it... So it arrived, and I LOVED it! I love the elegance of the gathered sleeves and the v-neck line (it did seem quite low, but hey ho, you only turn 18 once!). I like how it isn't fitted, yet still singes in the waste with a cute detachable 'seatbelt' style belt (as I told my friends). Jumpsuit - Topshop £40 As you can imagine, I had to wear something to make my white chest look a bit less bare, so I decided  to pair my jumpsuit with a stunning multi-coloured rhinestone choker and a simplistic, delicate triple row gold necklace. My older sister was generous enough to let me borrow her beautiful Topshop black heeled sandals too!  Nails - No7 Stay Perfect Shade - Lovely Fuschia  Sq...
