Charity.

I LOVE charity shops, I find it so exciting shopping in them! You never know what you may find. I go through every single thing! I can be in there for a while and I LOVE it when I come out with some lovely items. This happened the other day! I had some time to spare in my nearest town so thought I would pop in the charity shops. I didn't find much in any until I got to the last one! I came out with 3 items!
I like to try things on in charity shops because sometimes I really like something so much but it's in a bigger size so I see what it looks like and if it can still be worn and still look nice.
I found a coral lacey top with a collar but it was a size 16. I am so glad I tried it on because it looks so nice a bit baggy! The colour also suits myskin tone because I am a little tanned :)
The next thing I got was a red silky blouse with 3 quarter length buttoned up sleeves. I love red and I hardly wear it. I have some other red shirts but they are all sleeveless. I wore this the other night with leggings for a cinema date and I felt really comfortable, but also classy and ladylike :)
My 3rd item is a warehouse blazer with a pattern all over it. It is blue and white with diamonds all over it. It's so gorgeous. A size 10 but I don't have it done up and because I am short the sleeves are a bit long but I pull them up. I am waiting for the perfect moment to wear this and atm I think I will have to wait til it gets a bit colder!
My photos are not uploading on here but they are on my instagram :)

I am hoping to do some more charity shopping tomorrow, probably on my own so I can proper go through everything. I need to stop buying tops though! I need skirts/shorts/trousers! I don't have much to wear on my legs in the summer except dresses really... so I will be looking for some shorts and skirts! New dresses are always good though and bags! :D And shoes! Hahaha :)

Lighter.

I think I have lost half a stone :) I have been on and off 10 stone for a while and that's the heaviest I have ever been but today I was right on the half mark, sometimes in the morning I am just a little less than 10 stone, but this was right on half!! So I am seeing progess. I haven't done a lot for it tbh, just eating less, slimfast most weeks, no snacking and I did do running but I haven't done that in a while!
Anyway this is a boring post but I am happy. I want to be back to 9 stone! :D

Bags of fun.

At this moment I am babysitting my nieces, I thought to occupy myself whilst they sleep I would internet browse. I am looking for a new bag! I love a shop called lisaangel and have found their bag section on their website and its beautiful and full of wonderful bags! So I shall post about a few! :)




Olive Green Double Buckle Bag

olive green double buckle bag £21.60. This bag practical as it's big and it's oh so cute in this colour! I have wanted a satchel for a while but some are a bit too bright for me, I really like this lighter colour :)

Once Upon a Time Hansel and Gretel Mini Bag

once upon a time hansel and gretel mini bag £22.40. This bag is just the most adorable thing, I want to wear a cute little dress, ankle socks and heels with it instantly, it's just gorgeous!! Look at the detail!! <3


La Boutique Overnight Bag
La Boutique Overnight Bag

la boutique overnight bag £48.30

This is as cute as the bag before but a bit more practical for trips out to the beach or weekends away as its biiiiig. The detail on it is so cute, look at the little bikes and all the flowers! The back is just as gorgeous!! It's more expensive but as it's bigger and can get used a lot I think it's worth it, and its also in the sale, so is supposed to be even more expensive :) I want this now!!!

Disaster Designs Hola Swan Tote Bag

disaster designs hola swan tote bag £33.60.

This bag is so delightfully cute! It's perfect for going shopping or somewhere when you need to take some essentials that won't fit in a small bag but you don't need a massive bag. And the swans are just so cute! WANT. Also the back  has swans all over it :)

I hope you like these, I will do a blog on cheaper ones at some point :)

Better.

So my job trial went better than I thought, knew it would, I just stress myself out about it! I should get a call soon! I pulled my first pints! :D
It's now the weekend and this makes me super happy! Firstly because I feel like I am allowed to relax, even though really I relax all the time, also it's hot! And I spent the morning with Lottie in her French lesson and then at the beach!! :D Another reason I am happy that it is the weekend is because it means I get to see Matt tomorrow!! He has been on holiday all week with his friends in Kos and gets back early tomorrow morning. We are used to not seeing each other because we were long distance for like all of our relationship but now I am back in Norfolk it's really boring and sad without him so I am very excited to see him again!
I have included some photos from the morning on the beach with Lottie! I love living near the beach, it's only a 5 minute drive, although at this one you have to park at the top of the cliff and walk down 2 really steep paths! VERY steep. But worth it because it's never packed, and Lottie loved it :) I shall be going there again soon for sure, maybe taking Matt and some photos of us, if he lets me! :)

Nervous.

So I have a job trial tomorrow. The interview obviously went well. Tbh interviews don't really scare me, I know what they want to hear I think.. I'm an actress so it seems to come easy but tomorrow is really scaring me. I am doing bar work and I have never done this before. I just hope he doesn't leave me on my own to like serve, I panic.. Things like this make my anxiety go crazy.. I think of all the possible things that could go wrong, like me not knowing what goes in a certain drink, or getting the till wrong, or dropping something, or the boss being mean to me or anything when in reality I know most of this won't happen. I think I am just scared of the unknown.. but it stops me from going out and doing things and atm I really need to get out of this house and do something with my life and I just hope it doesn't ruin my chances.

Keep Calm and Carry on.

So alot has been happening.
I went on holiday with my family and Matt, it was lovely! We stayed in Sandford near Pool Monday-Thursday and then Pagham Friday-Sunday! The weather was hot all week and we visited some lovely beaches! I also checked out Marwell Zoo with Matt whilst the kids went to Peppa Pig World with the others, it had so many animals, and there was so much space! Took us about 4 hours to see it all! Was well worth it though!
I have come back quite golden/red, I love it when that happens, people can tell I have been away!
On the way home I got some good news and some bad news. I got my results for my BA! I got a 2:2, which is good and bad. It's amazing I passed and turned it around from a third because at the beginning of the year I wasn't doing so well, and I got two really high 2:1s in there as well, but I was just 3 percent of a 2:1 which is slightly annoying but hey, all good! I get to graduate in October!! Eeek! Bad news.. my Nan has mouth cancer, this shook me and my parents up a bit on the way home. She lives near us so we went to see her as soon as we got home, she looks and sounds fine though which is good. She has an 8 hour operation in a few weeks, she will be staying in hospital for a week which she will hate as she hates hospitals but hopefully they have caught it soon! Just really upsetting.
I was thinking about it and it's weird, everyone knows about cancer, but you don't seem to get off your arse and do something about it until it hurts someone you love.When my Grandad got cancer I did exactly that, I did the race for like twice. This has happened and I am doing The Mouth Cancer Walk in September at Hyde Park. I am hoping it will spread awareness and hopefully I can raise a bit of money!
But yes the post title today is Keep Calm and Carry on, and I hope to do this by keeping busy! I had a job interview yesterday at Hollywood Bowl which was actually really fun! I met some lovely people and it was more of like a workshop so I am totally used to that :) I should hear soon. I am also volunteering tomorrow at Norwich Lanes Summer Fayre! I am near the vintage stall as well which is very exciting, hopefully I will get a chance to have a look my self! :)
Before I go to the fayre tomorrow it is Lottie's 4th birthday party, there's going to be 25 children all at the playbarn my mum runs, going to be mental but cute :) So I am glad I can still go to that. :D
This may be a very boring post to most but I feel like I had to write it down somewhere haha :)
