Awful OOTD/My Body

Hello everyonee!

First of all I'd like to apologise for this truly awful attempt at an OOTD post, but I'd thought I'd give you an insight into what I actually wear, considering pretty much every post on here is about hair and beauty :)

Both my dress and blouse are from Primark (woo) and I just left the blouse open and knotted it at the waist

I don't really have a 'style'. I'm about 5ft8/9 but with a size 12 (sometimes even 14 eek) figure to boot so I can't really do the cutesy petite thing or the tall and skinny thing. I wish I could call my style sophisticated (what with being called Sophie and all..hahaha awkward joke) but I'm more than happy to wear a pair of jeans and a baggy jumper.

I used to have a tshirt from Zara that said 'It's not the content, it's the style, and I'm content with my style' although I never really have been content with my style! Growing up I never really knew how to dress for my figure, at all. Sometimes I think I still don't but at least I know that I will never be one of those girls that can pull off a bodycon skirt (I do NOT have the thighs!) 

When I was younger I was a right chubster and whilst I lost a lot of the 'puppy fat' in Year 9 (so when I was about 14) I still am a 'curvy' girl. That word will forever make me cringe but it's who I am and it seems that no matter how much I work out or live off carrot sticks I will always be this way so I guess I've learnt to live with  it. Maybe.

My favourite shops are Primark, H&M and Topshop, although I find Topshop stupidly overpriced and even now it seems that sometimes H&M is cheaper than Primark (lol what?) 

What's your 'style'? Do you even have one? Let me know!

Yellow Diamonds In The Light

Hello everyoneee

So this is the end of my first week of lectures at university, and I'm actually really enjoying it! Last night was our Freshers' ball which was great, only I woke up with bruises and cuts EVERYWHERE. And I've now got a severe case of fresher's flu!

Wore my hair down for the first time in AGES today, its finally that kind of weather where you can go out with your hair down and not end up a sweaty mess! As you can see in the background I had my jeans out to dry, after hand washing them turned out I hadn't dissolved the washing powder properly and they were covered in white marks. Someone tell me how to use a washing machine??

I've also really been loving this new series called New Girl, I've been watching it online and it has Zooey Deschanel in it (who is my faveee!) 

Hope you're all well, let me know what you've been up to!

Hello lovely ladies!

I don't know if you've noticed but I've reached over 100 followers, it's actually so so exciting

The reason I decided to do this post was because I just checked my Stats for my blog (it tells me where you ladies are coming from and what you're reading. . and what you're not!)

I've discovered that I've got people reading from Australia, Brasil, Argentina, Chile and even Alaska!

I'll have a requested review of lip and cheek tints that I've used posted tomorrow but in the mean time it would be great if you could take the time to vote in my poll that's just over there >>

And I'll leave you with this. . 

Oh and if you're wondering, yes it took lots of attempts to get this photo. .

Okay maybe I should press the timer button BEFORE taking the photo

h

hank you! hahaha

love you lots

Mini Ramble :)

Well everyone loves a mini ramble!

First of all I'd just like to say thank you to everyone that follows me, thank you to everyone that comments and thank you to everyone that has blogged about me in the past. To get that recognition is unbelievable and I remember when I first started blogging it really felt like no one was listening, but now I know you are it's actually so great!

(I can't believe there's over 80 of you, it's so amazing!)

I thought I'd just give you a little update on my life as I love reading posts like this on other people's blogs :) I haven't really been up to much lately however I went back to school last week so I've been work work working like a crazy head. I did drop Chemistry (no way was I taking that to A2) so I'm now doing French, Spanish and History and on a search to find my dream university, I want to do French and Spanish. If you're at uni or anything let me know, I've picked 3 so need to find 2 more to apply for.

While I'm here I'll tell you a few things I'm loving at the moment

• YSL visuals! As you already know :)
• Trying on dresses in TKMaxx. It's the funnest thing especially with friends

I've had a hair cut since this photo so ignore the fluffiness

• Having half days on Monday and Tuesday. Who needs Chemistry anyways?
• Pixiwoo. If you haven't already, watch their newest Youtube video. It's one of their best yet

Let me know what you're loving! If you do a post like this link me up :)

Love Sophie xx
