i would just like to start this post by saying Happy New year everyone , hope everyone started the year right and is going to make the most of it :) . also thank you everyone who viewed , commented and read my blog last year , whether it was constantly , or once , it means so much to me so a massive THANK YOU EVERYONE :D 

 

Hat - H&M (men), Sunglasses - Camden Market , Shirt - Stolen from my sister , Cardigan - Vintage , Bag - H&M 

so i wore this outfit today , this is the kind of outfit i love as i can just laze around in it eat loads and still stay warm , i also kept my make up so minimal . i don't think my mum liked it looooool she said i looked like a tramp and refused to take my blog pictures for me :/ . 

oh and i got the massive knitted cardie last winter in a vintage shop in liverpool , but its kind of too big for me ( kind of too big is an understatement looooool ) 

so my mum ended up stealing it , and today i was king of the world coz i stole it back looooooool 

oh and i saw the most beautiful shoes and eat the most amazing pizza since my trip to Italy.

Ps: i know its winter , but am i the only one who wears sun glasses around January ? please someone out there let me know , i cant be the only one 

hope everyone had a great day

juliet's house in verona and OOTD ( picture overload alert )

my friend funmi and i ( as well as the girl who was meant to be our guide for the day ) went to the heart of Verona to do some sight seeing and just spend a great day . also before coming to Italy we had over indulged in movies  such as eat pray and love   and letters to Juliet and i was so excited to see Juliet's house and write a letter to Juliet and hopefully get a reply by the time i get back to the UK ( if you have watched the movie you will know what I'm on about ) . 

so we went around Verona and took a look at the coliseum ans my friend funmi really wanted to see that . we also had a meal at one of the restaurants . however things are so pricey at the heart of Verona since its somewhat of a tourist attraction . and for some reason everyone spoke some level of English , which really got on our nerves as we really wanted to put our Italian to good use ( even though we can only just about say hi , bey and how much )

 

 after the meal we went on looking around and this time around we took a look at the stores . to be honest i wasn't interested in looking at any of the stores . just because to me this was meant to be a relaxing holiday where I'm taking a break from everything else I'm used to in England , which also included shopping . however we did have a look around some of the stores we do not have in England , such as sephora and kiko , and i manage to get 2 nail polishes and 2 eye shadows from kiko just to have a try , but now I'm sooo gutted as they are amazing and should had gotten more .

 after the stores we finally got to go to Juliet's house . and it was then that all my dreams were crushed.............. looooooooool not all my dreams . but it was nothing like in the movie . it was such a small space with sooo many people packed inside , whilst in the movie it sort of looked massive with just a few women about . there was no one writing letters or even collecting letters ( the whole writing to Juliet's secretaries was apparently none existent ) instead of people picking up my letters there were little shops everywhere and a so called museum inside where you can pay to go up to the balcony and see Juliet's tomb ( we didn't bother with the dumb museum ) so we just took some pictures with the statue and left . also there were graffiti everywhere my bubbles were bursts .

but on a whole it was such a nice day and i was over the moon as at least i got to do something i always wanted to do even if it turned out it wasn't exactly what i expected . and i got to share this experience with one of my closest friends ( actually shes more of a sister than a friend )

funmi wore : top -dorothy perkings , skirt - zara , sunglasses - H&M , earrings and bracelet - unknown , flip flops - Verona

 skirt - zara , top , sunglasses and flip flop - primark , bag - H&M , necklace ( used as headband ) charity shop , rings ( from L to R ) - topshop, H&M , Elliot Paris

 i hope everyone enjoyed this post , sorry it was such a long post with so many pictures loooool just want to get all these holiday posts out of the way :) if anyone is thinking of going to verona and checking out juliet's hous , i would say go for it looool its still worth a look even if it is nothing like the movie . and if in verona.... well you might as well

the reward theory

Shoes- zara

so my exams are over ( hooooorayyyyyyyyy )  and I've had the worst weekend ever (booooooooo loooool ) anyways im over it and smiling like a potato smiley face :) 

if you're wondering about the title........well here is the story :

Since my GCSE's Ive developed a habit my friends call "madness" my mum calls "nonsense ( African accent" and i call "THE REWARD THEORY". the reward theory is basically when i finish an exam , an essay or any ooooh so difficult task , than i reward myself with something I've wanted for a while .

when i pass an exam i reward myself too , and when i fail...........well i reward myself too loooooool think of it as a "sorry you failed honey but better luck next time" pressie, and these rewards sure feels good :D

anyways I've been wanting these shoes for a while now and finally got these pretty babies.......oooh they are so cute and elegant i could just lick these beauties ( just kidding guys.......actually I'm not ) . they didn't come cheap and i can feel the breeze from the massive hole in my pocket ( metaphor for poverty guys loooool )

do you guys have your own version of the reward theory ?

what did santa bring me this year ?

so this year Christmas has been amazing , and what made it even more fantastic was the fact that i got to go to France and spend some quality time with my family , it was so lovely to just get away from England for a few days and my mum decided that i deserved a trip to Paris so that was part of my Christmas present :)  yaaaaaaaaay me !

             this was the view outside my window before i left for the airport the next day , a white Christmas indeed

                             pictures of myself and my lovely baby niece , my sister took them when i wasn't looking

         coat- milano , bag- Matalan ( i think ) , top-H&M ( worn inside ) , shoes- new look , bow- primark (worn in hair )

whilst on our little family break , my mum took the opportunity to buy me some jewelry for my Christmas present and i managed to get myself french glamour and french cosmo :) i really enjoyed reading it in the warmth of home with the rest of my family .
