Some (random) days in photos.

These are just a few photos taken from the past few days -most seem to be involving food it seems! It's random days in photos because I don't actually remember when I took them - I just know it's around this week lol :)

My puppy, Tanah, she looked like a little fierce wolf in this pic.  What a cutie :) / Chicken, bacon & avocado bagel & mango ice tea.  Best combo ever. / Ham & Cheese Ravioli with sauce / Got my beloved laptop back after it had been away donkeys years for repair! (it was probably a week and a half) / Cheeky little nandos for lunch. Chicken wrap - medium hotness. Delish. / Catching up on my lover Ami James, NY Ink.  I miss Nunez though / Tonight's dinner success! Fajitas. Love me some Mexican!

It's not many I know, I don't have my camera with me.  My parents have borrowed it to go on their travels with, so I only have my phone and it appears I like to take photos of food as all I seem to do is eat!! Although you would think i'd be a better cook if I like eating.  Tried cooking a roast dinner last weekend - major fail.  I think the only edible thing were the peas, but hey I like peas!  

Anyone been watching the apprentice? I've got really into it this time round these last few weeks! There's nobody I really want to win though if i'm honest.  I'm so glad Melody & Natasha have gone.  It was actually watching it last week that i've been craving Mexican ever since after their last task! Can't say i'd eat in there though :/  Definitely preferred MyPy!  

Still going on my Law & Order SVU marathon too :) I'm almost finished with Season 3, i'll be onto Season 4 soon.  I watched the Sweetest Thing last night, haven't seen that film in ages and I needed a good laugh! 'You're too big to fit in here, too big to fit in here, too big to fit in here oh oh oh' rofl.

Oh oh one last thing before I go.  I ordered two things in the All Saints sale and eeeek i'm so excited for them to come!  I'm hoping they fit alright, and i'm hoping they should be here Monday! :D  Also, anyone else in the UK watching harry potter 1 right now?  How young do they all look?!  So sad it's come to an end :(

It's been a while

Hey there.  I haven't posted in a while, for a couple of reasons.  The main one being that I had to send my laptop of for repair (warning, if you're looking to purchase a new laptop, I wouldn't recommend dell mainly because of the charger, and i'm not the first person to say this), but now I have it back and it's fixed woohoo! :D 

So, because I haven't had my laptop, I of course had to make some purchases to occupy myself.  

First up:  This bag from All Saints.  I paid £195 for it (that's how much I adore it) and of course it's now in the sale for a helluva lot cheaper -- always the way huh! 

 It's a leather shoulder bag (can also be worn across body), and is made from 'vintage bike jackets'.  It has straps hanging off which make it a little different to a plain black bag I think. 

The front has a lot of pockets, which I love.  And the main pocket actually holds quite a bit.  

One of my favourite, if not the favourite, parts of the bag is the strap.  I just love the silver detailing.  

I ran out of my body moisturiser, which was similar to these except it was from Marks & Spencer and mango scent.   These are from The Body Shop and the one on the left is an exfoliating scrub in Coconut, which I love the smell of but it totally reminds me of Malibu *giggles*, and the other one is a body butter in pink grapefruit and it smells amazing.  I haven't tried them yet so i'll let you know how moisturising they are! :D

The last thing is this book.  The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  I needed a new read and i'd heard good things about it, although it's not usually the type I go for, being a fantasy novel.  I like it so far though and i'd definitely recommend it!  I hear they're making a new film out of it too, so i'll probably see that when it's out. 

Oh, I also got seasons 3 & 4 of Law and Order Special Victims Unit :D it's my favourite out of all the law and orders and CSI's, and i'm watching it from the beginning.  I'm halfway through season 3 already!  

I have a week off work next week which i'm really excited about.  I'm not actually doing anything for it, but I have the house to myself and as it's coming up to summer i'm hoping to spend some time at the beach.  For this I was thinking I should get some 'light hearted beach' reads.  These aren't the kind of books I usually go for so if anyone has any recommendations i'd love to hear them! 

'til next time :) 

Oceanside

Sorry if the title misled you, this post is really nothing to do with the ocean.  It is infact the name of my new favourite pair of jeans. 

I'm pretty sure i'm not alone when I say that I own more than one of the same thing & always migrate to one pair.  In my case, it's jeans.  I have about 5 or 6 pairs in my drawer, one I wear on a regular basis and one I ocassionally throw in so it looks like I don't wear the same pair 5 days in a row.  

This said pair however, were too long when I first bought them a couple of years ago so all the bottoms are now all scuffed up, whilst in some cases this may look good..this did not.  It just looked rubbish.  I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to buy a pair but i've finally found them.  And I think they may be the perfect pair. 

Wasn't even aware that the last pic was in flash lulz, don't even know how to work that on my phone yet!  I had to crop out my toes too, I have hammer toes and they look funny.  Plus feet freak me out.  

Anywho, totally going off subject here.  The jeans are from Hollister and they are the Oceanside Super Skinny.  As much as I love the clothes from Hollister, don't even get me started on the store.  I honestly do not understand why they make it so dark in there!?  If you work at Hollister, please PLEASE do tell, i'm really curious.  I mean, for a clothes store you'd think there'd be some light so you could see them in their 'true colours' or whatever.  Also I haven't had great experience with the staff either.  I asked one girl in there where I could find the jeggings (I had to say it three times to be heard over the loud music - although gotta have a soft spot for the music!) and she looked at me a little blank and then she wandered around the store until we came to the jeans (I had already done this) and said uhm well we don't really get jeggings sometimes we get them in once in a while you just have to keep checking but we have super skinny..uhm yeah thanks for the help. I think.  

I do love me some super skinny though.  At first they were a little tight & I was tempted to go back and switch for the bigger size (something none of us wants to do!) but I'm used to it now and I can honestly say they are bloody comfy.  I know jeans are a really hard item to choose as there are so many but I think I will definitely go back to Hollister for them. 

I'd say go to Hollister if you can get past the loud music and the darkness, the clothes are great.  Just make it a quick trip.  

I'm going shopping tomorrow, if the heavens don't open (pleeeeease!) i'm hopefully going to All Saints.  In major love with their stuff and I want a new bag and also a bracelet from there.  Hopefully i'll come back bearing gifts!! For myself!

What are you up to this weekend?

Hullo

So we've been here a few times before huh? 

I've started a couple of blogs before, none of them going so well.   I think the reason being is that I was doing it for all the wrong reasons.  Now to be honest, I can't be arsed and am just doing it for me, and for whenever I feel like it.  If you feel like having a chat and sitting down with me, that's cool.  If not, that's cool too :) 

A bit about me by the way.  I'm Sophie, a 20 year old English girl who (is about to be so cliché) loves a cup of tea.  I envy the girly girls who can be in floral dresses with manicured nails and perfect makeup.  I try and fail miserably.  I'm far too clumsy to have any type of etiquette and too impatient to let my manicure set before I chip it.  Horror is my favourite, so is Classic Rock, but I can listen to a bit of Classical in between, it all depends on my mood.  I like being on my own a lot with my books for company, so what i'm going to be writing about is anyone's guess really. 

Hope to see you around :)
