An update!

After an unexpected blog hiatus, I'm back! There's no particular reason as to why I haven't been posting, I've been busy-ish I guess, but not overwhelmingly so that I couldn't post anything at all. This blog is for fun though, and if I don't feel like posting something, I won't. Anyway, what have I been up to...I went to visit my friends Sophie and Joe and played lots of Mario Kart on the N64. Also, I turned 24! If I was my mother, I would say that I am now nearly a quarter of a century old, because my mum seems to enjoy making things sound ancient. However, I have just said that, so I suppose I am turning into my mum.

Anyway, the nice things about birthdays is that sometimes lovely people give you money to spend on whatever you want! So today I went to Topshop and bought a dress, then came home, put it on and photographed it immediately, because that's just how I roll.

I had actually seen this dress in white a while ago and quite liked it but something was putting me off so I didn't buy it. Today I saw it in this lovely blue colour and loved it so I'm glad I didn't but the white one. It's amazing what difference a colour can make in deciding whether or not to buy something!

The sandals are new too. These are my first ever pair of gladiator sandals, believe it or not. I know they've been around for years but I've just never gotten around to getting a pair, I tend to just end up wearing flip-flops. These will be a good investment though I think as they are much more durable than flip-flops, plus I can drive in them (ever tried driving in flip-flops? Don't!).

Hairband: New Look

Dress: Topshop

Sandals: New Look

Sorry for my pasty legs by the way. We haven't had enough consistent sun for me to get any colour on them, and I'm not really a fake-tan kind of person!

OK, finally, Google Friend Connect is disappearing in a couple of weeks so pretty please with a cherry on top go and follow my blog on Bloglovin' here. If you want to. No pressure :)

A quick thought about time

So I managed to miss the entire month of May on this blog of mine and I'm not quite sure how it happened. Time just sort of slips away sometimes; one minute you're taking down the Christmas decorations and the next, it's the day before your birthday. In June. Halfway through the year. 

I don't know why it is that time seems to go faster when you're older. As a kid, time used to pass so slowly, especially when you were looking forward to something. Now I feel like the years are speeding up, and that's a scary thought.

Nevertheless, the sun is shining, the birds are singing (and I'm not trying to be poetic, they actually are), and I would like to go outside but there's a fox currently strutting around my garden like he owns the place, so I think I'll wait until he's buggered off.

Song of the Day: Everything's Not Lost by Coldplay. Just because it's a good'un.

Currently reading: The Loop by Nicholas Evans. It's refreshing to read something well written, which I haven't done in a while.
