I close my eyes and the flashback starts...

I know it's been nearly a month (or more!) since I last posted but thigns are ridiculous at the moment..
I've had my graduate exhibition in London, Brick Lane so traveling to and from London for a week really took it out of me. God knows how I'll handle a full time job!
Whilst my Mum was on holiday I've been working every free day to help out at her business
My best friend has needed me a lot
Enough of my excuses...
There's been a lot of shopping recently and I promise I'll post a collective 'haul' from recently
If I can remember all my new goodies...it's been a while!
I bought a gorgeous maxi dress from Republic on Wednesday, can't wait to wear it when I got to Egypt in July
And I found and bought the perfect dress for my 21st Birthday Party, won't be posting photos until after its debut of course :P
So over the past month what have I actually been doing?
Been to the cinema a few times...seen hangover 2- Awesomely funny! Pirates of the Caribean 4- Johnny Depp, enough said, X-men Last stand- I'm a film geek and loved this too, Bridesmaids- Best chick flick I've seen in a while, Green Lantern- Ryan Reynolds in next to nothing...om nom, not too great a film though, Bad Teacher- Hot actors, strange storyline but vaguely entertaining..I'm more of a horror girl!
I can't wait for Transformers 3 to come out and of course the final installment of Harry Potter
Very excited...yes I am a big nerd
Other than the cinema as I said I've been shopping, mainly for the bestests 21st birthday presents
Gave them to her Wednesday and she loved every single one, 21 presents was a bigger feat than I expected!




A few photos from my exhibition up in London
Was an amazing experience but I'm pretty glad it's over
Very draining to travel up to London every day for 7 days
Don't know how commuters do it...
 21 Pink birthday cupcakes for Kat alongside her box of 21 pressies

A very happy best friend is just what I like to see
I made her a photo album full of photos of us together and quotes and song lyrics
She loved it :)
My outfit for the day of fun for Kat's birthday
Shopping, lunch and cinema to see Bridesmaids
We're off bowling tonight, both on a self imposed drinking ban (it's not going well!!)
White Vest: New look
Navy and white polka dot palazzo pants: Next
Teal Cardi: Forever 21
Black beaded necklace: Gift from my Grandad in Spain
A recent night out
Before we decided to stop drinking!
It was a messy one ;)

Hope everyone's Ok
Love

Final Major Project

Well my three years at Roehampton University are over
I am now a bum
I graduate in July and intend to just enjoy myself for a while before then
I've posted some photos of my final project for photography
One of the reasons for my stressy nature recently
and also the reason for a lack of blogging!
The projects called 'Transitions' and is about the transitional object
If you want to know more just ask




I've bene celebrating with jelly tots and shopping 
and intend to get nicely drunk tomorrow night

Always excuses!

Birds of a feather....

My last deadline ever for uni is tomorrow...
Three years of my life is very nearly over
I have to get my images put onto a wall at uni and then I'm done
Scary
I've been super busy recently with uni work and other things
Bought a few bits and pieces so I'll do a collective haul type post some time next week when I finally have some free time
Went to Thorpe Park on Thursday this week which was awesome!
I've been so stressed I actually lost half a stone in a week, hope it stays off, but spending a day with some of my favourite people really helped me relax
Today I've had a real family oriented day
Most of the day was spent with my Grandad, his wife Mary, and my cousin Kayla at an adventure park called Knockhatch in Hailsham
We had a birds of prey experience voucher my Mum bought off of Groupon, £29 each instead of £80
It was a fantastic day, got to hold various big birds and flew some too 
After that I went round to one of my Aunt's new house and had a bbq for her bf's bday
Was so lovely :) 
Here's my outfit....

Blue and White striped Jacket: Topshop
White Top: Topshop
Dark Skinny Jeans: Torrid
Worn with brown loafers: New Look

 Wearing my new MAC Hibiscus lipstick...a darker more daring colour for me but I love it
 This little fella was called Zulu
He was a little cutie :) 
And me and my beautiful cousin on the way there 

I should be back to regular posting soon
Love
Belle
