Happy birthday to me! :)

Hey lovelies :) sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I've literally had so much uni work, plus I've been celebrating (and feeling slightly depressed) about my 22nd birthday, which was Monday! :) A couple of my best friends came up for the weekend, and I managed to juggle having some fun nights out, some nice meals with some of my boring uni work too!

Being an excited little puppy in my pajamas on my birthday morning :)

Well  I couldn't say no to a Katsu Curry from Wagamamas could I!?

My best friend's birthday is the week before mine so we were Tropical birthday girls together! :)

Drunk selfie in the club, but thanks to my bestie for doing my make up!

Snow, yankee candles and mini bottles of wine! :)

 Hey guys :) yet again, another apology as to why I've barely been blogging! Second year of uni is already stressing me the hell out, literally God knows what I'm gonna be like next year in my final year :( so thought I'd do a little instagram and life post to keep you in the loop!

 Putting my Christmas sweets pot to good use, it's now my cotton bud holder :)

Some January treats - Soap & Glory products and a Yankee Candle!

I eventually lit my teacup candle along with my Yankee :)

Something to keep me occupied during these snowy times!

My hand has gone very gingery, but I like it :)

Procrastination = caviar nails!

Been appreciating my piggy socks during these cold days!

Yummy percy pig cookies :)

I forgot how much of a cute/ amazing film Babe is!

Been eating healthy since I've been back at uni this term - tuna salad omnomnom!

I love how colourful my trolly is looking! :)

One naughty treat on the weekend doesn't count right ;)

Snow outside my window!

Matching footwear for the snow!

Herbal and berry tea :)

I've been a very busy fashion student this term - my first ever cross stitch! :)

Some weird 2am fashion illustration!

My gorgeous new vintage pin-up diary to keep me organised!

Me and the teeniest bottle of wine ever! :)

A good uni night out despite the snow outside!

My gorgeous hamsa bracelet - I'm giving one away in my giveaway here!

Thanks for reading :)

Sorry these aren't the most interesting photos, I've been stuck in my uni room doing work for what seems like so long now! :(

Did you get much snow?

A day in London, and the haul that comes with that! :)

So the other day I took my boyfriends little sister for a little trip to London. She needed to visit the V&A museum for some homework, and I said I'd happily take her, cos I love the V&A museum, and I love London. Later on I took her to Camden too, cos she'd only been once in her life, and I hadn't been properly in years.

So firstly we went to the V&A museum, I mostly just followed her around the sections she needed to go, which included China, Japan and India. Then we both went to the Fashion section, which I'm so happy is open again! It has a lot of the same clothes which it had before it shut, but also lots of new things too! So I went a bit instagram crazy at the V&A! Follow me on instagram @danidanimason

 

So many beautiful things in the V&A Museum! Definately go if you visit London, it's free :)

Outside they often have different art installments, and this time it was loads of these weird spinning chairs! There was about 30 of them, all along the concrete floor, next to the fountains, and there were loads of kids just spinning around. I had to give it a go though! It was a lot scarier than it looks, I thought I was going to fall over backwards! Big kid! :)

I picked up a few postcards whilst in the V&A shop. When you go there you always think 'why on earth would you pay 70p for a postcard?!' but really, you're going to be paying at least £1 for a birthday card, and the designs on these were so cute! :)

I cannot wait to go back and see the Ballgowns exhibition. I've heard so many great things about it, and with my student card it only costs £7 to get in!

And here is what I picked up in Camden:

I'd been looking at nail wraps and stickers on eBay for a while, but when I saw these in Camden I had to have them, they were only £1 each so not a big deal if they don't go well! I loved the look of the rose pattern, as no nail wraps online or in shops really grabbed my attention! And the little stickers looked like lace, so I thought if I do a plain nail colour and just stick one on maybe my ring finger it could look cute?

I'd been after a hamsa hand necklace for ages! I wasn't too keen on this when I first saw it, but when I asked how much it was, and she said £1 I thought I'd give it a go. I tried it on in a mirror and it went down to further than my chest, and I thought that teamed with a plain outfit, or a few other necklaces it would look quite cute.

A mood ring! I'd been wanting one of these for so long, purely because I used to have one as a child and loved it, and I just like the idea of them! This one was a bargain at 79p so I couldn't say no. Not gonna lie, between now and the time I bought it, it has only turned blue or green. I might try what I did as a child, and put it in the freezer for a day or two, see what colour it turns then haha!

Okay these items were my absolute favourite out of the lot, and the best bargains too! The ring was £5 on this little market stall of vintage jewellery and I was humming and harring about whether to get it, because I don't exactly NEED any more rings... I would just LIKE more rings! But anyways, then I was a little stand on the same stall of tiny earrings, and they were 'two for £5'. So I found the cameo earrings and really, really wanted them and couldn't find any I wanted too. I then found the moons and thought they were okay, quite cute, but I still said to the man "could you do me a deal if I bought all 3?". I was expecting him to say £8 for them all, at the very best, and he gave me a weird look, which I assumed was a 'no way' look, but instead he said "Just gimmie £5 for the lot."

I was like "are you sure?!" and he was like "yeah, I've always hated those earrings". Haha so funny seen as he knew I wanted to buy them, but bargain on my behalf, what a funny man! :)

Thanks for reading :)

I'm sorry I wrote quite a few essays on this post haha!

What do you think of the V&A?

What do you think of Camden?

Which of my purchases are your favourite?

My week in pictures... sort of.

Long story short, for the last month of university and during my 21st birthday I had an iPhone 3 and used instagram constantly. Then I had the screen fixed and the phone broke :( so since then I haven't been able to get onto it!
But lovely Louise told me about webstagram where you can log onto instagram account online! So nice to be able to go back and look back at all the photos I took from my birthday and at uni so I thought I'd create a little post on them :)

 

Some beauty products I treated myself to, feel free to ask about any if you want to know what they are or what they're like! 'Colour b4' was really good for stripping my hair from black to my natural brown colour and it didn't ruin my hair at all. L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist x3 conditioner makes my hair feel so lovely.

 

My housemates decided to personalise my milk for me.

I loved these Snoop Dogg (sorry Snoop Lion now) tissues for when I had a cold. They actually had the Snoop Dogg picture on and said 'Fo Sniffle' haha, definitely cheered me up a bit! The app I used to put 3 pictures together is called 'Pic Stitch'.

 

We had a night in painting our nails and wearing onesies :)

 

Some lovely flowers I recieved for my 21st.

 

Comparing my passport pictures from a few years ago to now.

 

The awkward moment when you can't fit the full title of your work in your sketchbook.

  

This was from a recent uni trip to Belgium, where we tried some strawberry and chocolate beer! The strawberry one was gorgeous and tasted a bit like fruit cider, the chocolate one was a bit weird because chocolate and beer shouldn't go together, but I love beer so it was okay!

Had my nails done for my 21st :)

 

My university bedroom, with Adam Levine looking over me ;)

 

My 21st birthday gift from my uni housemates, a 'house' from my 'housemates' :) such a cute idea!

 

My little leopard print bow from Miss Selfridge.

 

My little piglet of a boyfriend trying out my beauty products when he came to visit haha!

 

The outfit I wore to our end of year Fashion Show. I love my jelly shoes!

 

Little ladybird friend!

 

Omnomnom my favourite Starbucks drink. I had never been to Starbucks in my life before I went to uni and now it's a regular occurrence! The drink I get is a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino and it is delicious, if you like chocolate, try it!

 

We all went henna mad on the last week of uni, I got a hamsa  hand on my forearm.

 

Chilling on the balcony, happy that first year is finally over! I was super glad all the work was done but I'm sad that I'm no longer a fresher and now the proper work begins!

 

My puppy sneaked onto my bed without an invite! And behind is my outside wardrobe which I love :)

 

Doing my coursework, obviously :)

 

Another random OOTD I took a picture of, another pair of jelly which I loved, but I ended up loosing them in the sea when I went to Bognor with Joe!

 

A Belgian waffle from an 100 year old waffle shop. I got it with strawberry's and hot chocolate sauce and it was delicious!

 

Treated myself to a hamsa hand necklace from Miss Selfridge. It was the first hamsa hand thing I had seen in the shops (I know they're everywhere now). But my mum used to wear one all the time when I was a child and it just really reminds me of her!

 

My gold Casio watch which was a present from Joe on my 21st birthday, and my hamsa hand friendship bracelet from Ark.

On another note, I upgraded my 3 year old Blackberry for an iPhone 4 the day before yesterday and it arrived yesterday. All was well when I set it up until I realised the sound wasn't working at all! After being on the phone to Orange all morning, they're going to send me another one tomorrow morning before 1pm. So as of tomorrow I shall have instagram back!

My username on it is @danidanimason.

Thanks for reading :)

Do you have instagram? What's your username?
